For some CPUID leaves (e.g. %eax=0x00000004), the result depends on
the input value of %ecx. Allow this subfunction number to be
specified as a parameter to the cpuid() wrapper.
The subfunction number is exposed via the ${cpuid/...} settings
mechanism using the syntax
${cpuid/<subfunction>.0x40.<register>.<function>}
e.g.
${cpuid/0.0x40.0.0x0000000b}
${cpuid/1.0x40.0.0x0000000b}
to retrieve the CPU topology information.

Allow values to be read from ACPI tables using the syntax
${acpi/<signature>.<index>.0.<offset>.<length>}
where <signature> is the ACPI table signature as a 32-bit hexadecimal
number (e.g. 0x41504093 for the 'APIC' signature on the MADT), <index>
is the index into the array of tables matching this signature,
<offset> is the byte offset within the table, and <length> is the
field length in bytes.
Numeric values are returned in reverse byte order, since ACPI numeric
values are usually little-endian.
For example:
${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0.0} - entire MADT table in raw hex
${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0x0a.6:string} - MADT table OEM ID
${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0x24.4:uint32} - local APIC address

[tls] Keep cipherstream window open until TLS negotiation is complete
When performing a SAN boot, the plainstream window size will be zero
(since this is the mechanism used internally to indicate that no data
should be fetched via the initial request). This zero value currently
propagates to the advertised TCP window size, which prevents the TLS
negotiation from completing.
Fix by ensuring that the cipherstream window is held open until TLS
negotiation is complete, and only then falling back to passing through
the plainstream window size.

[iscsi] Fix iBFT when no explicit initiator name setting exists
Commit 7cfdd76 ("[block] Describe all SAN devices via ACPI tables")
changed the definition of the iSCSI initiator IQN in the iBFT to
represent a common initiator IQN used for all iSCSI sessions, and
attempted to calculate this common initiator IQN by fetching the
common ${initiator-iqn} setting.
This fails when no explicit ${initiator-iqn} has been specified
(i.e. when an initiator IQN has instead been constructed from either
the hostname or system UUID), and results in an empty initiator IQN in
the iBFT.
Fix by using the initiator IQN of an arbitrary iSCSI session
present in the iBFT.

redundant in our case, since FirstBurstLength is defined by RFC 3720
to be
"Irrelevant when: ( InitialR2T=Yes and ImmediateData=No )"
and we already enforce both InitialR2T=Yes and ImmediateData=No in our

[hyperv] Cope with Windows Server 2016 enlightenments
An "enlightened" external bootloader (such as Windows Server 2016's
winload.exe) may take ownership of the Hyper-V connection before all
INT 13 operations have been completed. When this happens, all VMBus
devices are implicitly closed and we are left with a non-functional
network connection.
Detect when our Hyper-V connection has been lost (by checking the
SynIC message page MSR). Reclaim ownership of the Hyper-V connection
and reestablish any VMBus devices, without disrupting any existing
iPXE state (such as IPv4 settings attached to the network device).
Windows Server 2016 will not cleanly take ownership of an active
Hyper-V connection. Experimentation shows that we can quiesce by
resetting only the SynIC message page MSR; this results in a
successful SAN boot (on a Windows 2012 R2 physical host). Choose to
quiesce by resetting (almost) all MSRs, in the hope that this will be
more robust against corner cases such as a stray synthetic interrupt
occurring during the handover.

[block] Provide abstraction to allow system to be quiesced
When performing a SAN boot via INT 13, there is no way for the
operating system to indicate that it has finished using the INT 13 SAN
device. We therefore have no opportunity to clean up state before the
loaded operating system's native drivers take over. This can cause
problems when booting Windows, which tends not to be forgiving of
unexpected system state.
Windows will typically write a flag to the SAN device as the last
action before transferring control to the native drivers. We can use
this as a heuristic to bring the system to a quiescent state (without
performing a full shutdown); this provides us an opportunity to
temporarily clean up state that could otherwise prevent a successful
Windows boot.

On most Intel NICs, Auto-Speed Detection Enable (ASDE) can be used to
automatically detect the correct link speed by sampling the link using
the internal PHY. This feature is automatically inhibited when not
appropriate for the physical link (e.g. when using internal SerDes
mode on the 8254x).
On the i350 datasheet ASDE is a reserved bit, but the relevant
auto-speed detection hardware appears still to be present. However,
enabling ASDE on the i350 1000BASE-KX backplane NIC seems to cause an
immediate link failure. It is possible that the auto-speed detection
hardware is still present, is not connected to a physical link, and is
not inhibited from being applied in this mode.
Work around this problem by adding an INTEL_NO_ASDE flag bit
(analogous to INTEL_NO_PHY_RST), and applying this for the i350
backplane NIC.

[block] Allow use of a non-default EFI SAN boot filename
Some older operating systems (e.g. RHEL6) use a non-default filename

machine where the EFI variable is not present.
Fix by allowing a non-default filename to be specified via the

The TEST UNIT READY command is issued automatically when the device is
opened, and is not the result of a command being issued by the caller.
This is required in order that a permanent TEST UNIT READY failure can
be used to identify unusable paths in a multipath SAN device.
Since the TEST UNIT READY command is not part of the caller's command
issuing process, it is not covered by any external retry loops (such
as the main retry loop in sandev_command()).
We must therefore be prepared to retry the TEST UNIT READY command
within the SCSI layer itself. We retry only the TEST UNIT READY
command so as not to multiply the number of potential retries for
normal commands (which are already retried by sandev_command()).

[http] Notify data transfer interface when underlying connection is ready
HTTP implements xfer_window_changed() on the underlying server
connection using http_step(), which does not propagate the window
change notification to the data transfer interface. This breaks the
multipath-capable SAN boot code, which relies on the window change
notification to discover that the HTTP block device is ready for
commands to be issued.
Fix by sending xfer_window_changed() in http_step() once the
underlying connection has been determined to be ready.

Describe all SAN devices via ACPI tables such as the iBFT. For tables
that can describe only a single device (i.e. the aBFT and sBFT), one
table is installed per device. For multi-device tables (i.e. the
iBFT), all devices are described in a single table.
An underlying SAN device connection may be closed at the time that we
need to construct an ACPI table. We therefore introduce the concept
of an "ACPI descriptor" which enables the SAN boot code to maintain an
opaque pointer to the underlying object, and an "ACPI model" which can
build tables from a list of such descriptors. This separates the
lifecycles of ACPI descriptions from the lifecycles of the block
device interfaces, and allows for construction of the ACPI tables even
if the block device interface has been closed.
For a multipath SAN device, iPXE will wait until sufficient
information is available to describe all devices but will not wait for
all paths to connect successfully. For example: with a multipath
iSCSI boot iPXE will wait until at least one path has become available
and name resolution has completed on all other paths. We do this
since the iBFT has to include IP addresses rather than DNS names. We
will commence booting without waiting for the inactive paths to either
become available or close; this avoids unnecessary boot delays.
Note that the Linux kernel will refuse to accept an iBFT with more
than two NIC or target structures. We therefore describe only the
NICs that are actually required in order to reach the described
targets. Any iBFT with at most two targets is therefore guaranteed to
describe at most two NICs.

natural delay, and we will attempt to saturate the network with
connection attempts.

[int13con] Avoid overwriting random portions of SAN boot disks
The INT13 console type (CONSOLE_INT13) autodetects at initialisation
time a magic partition to be used for logging iPXE console output. If
the INT13 drive number mapping is subsequently changed (e.g. because
iPXE was used to perform a SAN boot), then the console logging output
will be written to the incorrect disk.
Fix by recording the INT13 vector at initialisation time, and using
this original vector to emulate INT13 calls for all subsequent
accesses. This should be robust against drive remapping performed
either by ourselves or by another bootloader (e.g. a chainloaded
undionly.kpxe which then performs a SAN boot).
