Add support for presenting a dynamic user interface as an interactive
form, alongside the existing support for presenting a dynamic user
interface as a menu.
An interactive form may be used to allow a user to input (or edit)
values for multiple settings on a single screen, as a user-friendly
alternative to prompting for setting values via the "read" command.
In the present implementation, all input fields must fit on a single
screen (with no scrolling), and the only supported widget type is an
editable text box.

We currently have an abstract model of a dynamic menu as a list of
items, each of which has a name, a description, and assorted metadata
such as a shortcut key. The "menu" and "item" commands construct
representations in this abstract model, and the "choose" command then
presents the items as a single-choice menu, with the selected item's
name used as the output value.
This same abstraction may be used to model a dynamic form as a list of
editable items, each of which has a corresponding setting name, an
optional description label, and assorted metadata such as a shortcut
key. By defining a "form" command as an alias for the "menu" command,
we could construct and present forms using commands such as:
#!ipxe
form Login to ${url}
item username Username or email address
item --secret password Password
present
or
#!ipxe
form Configure IPv4 networking for ${netX/ifname}
item netX/ip IPv4 address
item netX/netmask Subnet mask
item netX/gateway Gateway address
item netX/dns DNS server address
present
Reusing the same abstract model for both menus and forms allows us to
minimise the increase in code size, since the implementation of the
"form" and "item" commands is essentially zero-cost.
Rename everything within the abstract data model from "menu" to
"dynamic user interface" to reflect this generalisation.

Intel and AMD distribute microcode updates, which are typically
applied by the BIOS and/or the booted operating system.
BIOS updates can be difficult to obtain and cumbersome to apply, and
are often neglected. Operating system updates may be subject to
strict change control processes, particularly for production
workloads. There is therefore value in being able to update the
microcode at boot time using a freshly downloaded microcode update
file, particularly in scenarios where the physical hardware and the
installed operating system are controlled by different parties (such
as in a public cloud infrastructure).
Add support for parsing Intel and AMD microcode update images, and for
applying the updates to all CPUs in the system.

Provide an implementation of the iPXE multiprocessor API for EFI,
based on using EFI_MP_SERVICES to start up a wrapper function on all
application processors.
Note that the processor numbers used by EFI_MP_SERVICES are opaque
integers that bear no relation to the underlying CPU identity
(e.g. the APIC ID), and so we must rely on our own (architecture-
specific) implementation to determine the relevant CPU identifiers.

Define an API for executing very limited functions on application
processors in a multiprocessor system, along with an x86-only
implementation.
The normal iPXE runtime environment is effectively non-existent on
application processors. There is no ability to make firmware calls
(e.g. to write to a console), and there may be no stack space
available.

Add support for EAP-MSCHAPv2 (note that this is not the same as
PEAP-MSCHAPv2), controllable via the build configuration option
EAP_METHOD_MSCHAPV2 in config/general.h.
Our model for EAP does not encompass mutual authentication: we will
starting sending plaintext packets (e.g. DHCP requests) over the link
even before EAP completes, and our only use for an EAP success is to
mark the link as unblocked.
We therefore ignore the content of the EAP-MSCHAPv2 success request
(containing the MS-CHAPv2 authenticator response) and just send back
an EAP-MSCHAPv2 success response, so that the EAP authenticator will
complete the process and send through the real EAP success packet
(which will, in turn, cause us to unblock the link).

EFI variables do not map neatly to the iPXE settings mechanism, since
the EFI variable identifier includes a namespace GUID that cannot
cleanly be supplied as part of a setting name. Creating a new EFI
variable requires the variable's attributes to be specified, which
does not fit within iPXE's settings concept.
However, EFI variable names are generally unique even without the
namespace GUID, and EFI does provide a mechanism to iterate over all
existent variables. We can therefore provide read-only access to EFI
variables by comparing only the names and ignoring the namespace
GUIDs.
Provide an "efi" settings block that implements this mechanism using a
syntax such as:
echo Platform language is ${efi/PlatformLang:string}
show efi/SecureBoot:int8
Settings are returned as raw binary values by default since an EFI
variable may contain boolean flags, integer values, ASCII strings,
UCS-2 strings, EFI device paths, X.509 certificates, or any other
arbitrary blob of data.

The "shim" command will skip downloading the shim binary (and is
therefore a conditional no-op) if there is already a selected EFI
image that can be executed directly via LoadImage()/StartImage().
This allows the same iPXE script to be used with Secure Boot either
enabled or disabled.
Generalise this further to provide a dummy "shim" command that is an
unconditional no-op on non-EFI platforms. This then allows the same
iPXE script to be used for BIOS, EFI with Secure Boot disabled, or EFI
with Secure Boot enabled.
The same effect could be achieved by using "iseq ${platform} efi"
within the script, but this would complicate end-user documentation.
To minimise the code size impact, the dummy "shim" command is a pure
no-op that does not call parse_options() and so will ignore even
standardised arguments such as "--help".

Commit 7ca801d ("[efi] Use the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL as an entropy source
if available") added EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL as an alternative entropy source
via an ad-hoc mechanism specific to efi_entropy.c.
Split out EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL to a separate entropy source, and allow the
entropy core to handle the selection of RDRAND, EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL, or
timer ticks as the active source.
The fault detection logic added in commit a87537d ("[efi] Detect and
disable seriously broken EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL implementations") may be
removed completely, since the failure will already be detected by the
generic ANS X9.82-mandated repetition count test and will now be
handled gracefully by the entropy core.

As noted in commit 3c83843 ("[rng] Check for several functioning RTC
interrupts"), experimentation shows that Hyper-V cannot be trusted to
reliably generate RTC interrupts. (As noted in commit f3ba0fb
("[hyperv] Provide timer based on the 10MHz time reference count
MSR"), Hyper-V appears to suffer from a general problem in reliably
generating any legacy interrupts.) An alternative entropy source is
therefore required for an image that may be used in a Hyper-V Gen1
virtual machine.
The x86 RDRAND instruction provides a suitable alternative entropy
source, but may not be supported by all CPUs. We must therefore allow
for multiple entropy sources to be compiled in, with the single active
entropy source selected only at runtime.
Restructure the internal entropy API to allow a working entropy source
to be detected and chosen at runtime.
Enable the RDRAND entropy source for all x86 builds, since it is
likely to be substantially faster than any other source.

Add support for recording LLDP packets and exposing TLV values via the
settings mechanism. LLDP settings are encoded as
${netX.lldp/<prefix>.<type>.<index>.<offset>.<length>}
where
<type> is the TLV type
<offset> is the starting offset within the TLV value
<length> is the length (or zero to read the from <offset> to the end)
<prefix>, if it has a non-zero value, is the subtype byte string of
length <offset> to match at the start of the TLV value, up to a
maximum matched length of 4 bytes
<index> is the index of the entry matching <type> and <prefix> to be
accessed, with zero indicating the first matching entry
The <prefix> is designed to accommodate both matching of the OUI
within an organization-specific TLV (e.g. 0x0080c2 for IEEE 802.1
TLVs) and of a subtype byte as found within many TLVs.
This encoding allows most LLDP values to be extracted easily. For
example
System name: ${netX.lldp/5.0.0.0:string}
System description: ${netX.lldp/6.0.0.0:string}
Port description: ${netX.lldp/4.0.0.0:string}

Pretty much all physical machines and off-the-shelf virtual machines
will provide a functional PCI BIOS. We therefore default to using
only the PCI BIOS, with no fallback to an alternative mechanism if the
PCI BIOS fails.
AWS EC2 provides the opportunity to experience some exceptions to this
rule. For example, the t3a.nano instances in eu-west-1 have no
functional PCI BIOS at all. As of commit 83516ba ("[cloud] Use
PCIAPI_DIRECT for cloud images") we therefore use direct Type 1
configuration space accesses in the images built and published for use
in the cloud.
Recent experience has discovered yet more variation in AWS EC2
instances. For example, some of the metal instance types have
multiple PCI host bridges and the direct Type 1 accesses therefore
see only a subset of the PCI devices.
Attempt to accommodate future such variations by making the PCI I/O
API selectable at runtime and choosing ECAM (if available), falling
back to the PCI BIOS (if available), then finally falling back to
direct Type 1 accesses.
This is implemented as a dedicated PCIAPI_CLOUD API, rather than by
having the PCI core select a suitable API at runtime (as was done for
timers in commit 302f1ee ("[time] Allow timer to be selected at
runtime"). The common case will remain that only the PCI BIOS API is
required, and we would prefer to retain the optimisations that come
from inlining the configuration space accesses in this common case.
Cloud images are (at present) disk images rather than ROM images, and
so the increased code size required for this design approach in the
PCIAPI_CLOUD case is acceptable.

SBAT defines an encoding for security generation numbers stored as a
CSV file within a special ".sbat" section in the signed binary. If a
Secure Boot exploit is discovered then the generation number will be
incremented alongside the corresponding fix.
Platforms may then record the minimum generation number required for
any given product. This allows for an efficient revocation mechanism
that consumes minimal flash storage space (in contrast to the DBX
mechanism, which allows for only a single-digit number of revocation
events to ever take place across all possible signed binaries).
Add SBAT metadata to iPXE EFI binaries to support this mechanism.

The DHCP service in EC2 has been observed to occasionally stop
responding for bursts of several seconds. This can easily result in a
failed boot, since the current cloud boot script will attempt DHCP
only once.
Work around this problem by retrying DHCP in a fairly tight cycle
within the cloud boot script, and falling back to a reboot after
several failed DHCP attempts.

Support for the zlib and gzip archive image formats is currently
included only if the IMAGE_ARCHIVE_CMD is used to enable the
"imgextract" command.
The ability to transparently execute a single-member archive image
without using the "imgextract" command renders this unintuitive: a
user wanting to gain the ability to boot a gzip-compressed kernel
image would expect to have to enable IMAGE_GZIP rather than
IMAGE_ARCHIVE_CMD.
Reverse the inclusion logic, so that archive image formats must now be
enabled explicitly (via IMAGE_GZIP and/or IMAGE_ZLIB), with the
archive image management commands dragged in as needed if any archive
image formats are enabled. The archive image management commands may
be explicitly disabled via IMAGE_ARCHIVE_CMD if necessary.
This matches the behaviour of IBMGMT_CMD and similar options, where
the relevant commands are included only when something else already
drags in the underlying feature.

The version of SeaBIOS found on some AWS EC2 instances (observed with
t3a.nano in eu-west-1) has no support for the INT 1A PCI BIOS calls.
Bring config/ioapi.h into the named-configuration set of headers, and
specify the use of PCIAPI_DIRECT for CONFIG=cloud, to work around the
missing PCI BIOS support.
Switching to a different named configuration will now unfortunately
cause an almost complete rebuild of iPXE. As described in commit
c801cb2 ("[build] Allow for named configurations at build time"), this
is the reason why config/ioapi.h was not originally in the
named-configuration set of header files.
This rebuild cost is acceptable given that build times are
substantially faster now than seven years ago, and that very few
people are likely to be switching named configurations on a regular
basis.

A switch port using 802.1x authentication will send EAP
Request-Identity packets once the physical link is up, and will not be
forwarding packets until the port identity has been established.
We do not currently support 802.1x authentication. However, a
reasonably common configuration involves using a preset list of
permitted MAC addresses, with the "authentication" taking place
between the switch and a RADIUS server. In this configuration, the
end device does not need to perform any authentication step, but does
need to be prepared for the switch port to fail to forward packets for
a substantial time after physical link-up. This exactly matches the
"blocked link" semantics already used when detecting a non-forwarding
switch port via LACP or STP.
Treat a received EAP Request-Identity as indicating a blocked link.
Unlike LACP or STP, there is no way to determine the expected time
until the next EAP packet and so we must choose a fixed timeout.
Erroneously assuming that the link is blocked is relatively harmless
since we will still attempt to transmit and receive data even over a
link that is marked as blocked, and so the net effect is merely to
prolong DHCP attempts. In contrast, erroneously assuming that the
link is unblocked will potentially cause DHCP to time out and give up,
resulting in a failed boot.
The default EAP Request-Identity interval in Cisco switches (where
this is most likely to be encountered in practice) is 30 seconds, so
choose 45 seconds as a timeout that is likely to avoid gaps during
which we falsely assume that the link is unblocked.

iPXE currently assumes that DMA-capable devices can directly address
physical memory using host addresses. This assumption fails when
using an IOMMU.
Define an internal DMA API with two implementations: a "flat"
implementation for use in legacy BIOS or other environments in which
flat physical addressing is guaranteed to be used and all allocated
physical addresses are guaranteed to be within a 32-bit address space,
and an "operations-based" implementation for use in UEFI or other
environments in which DMA mapping may require bus-specific handling.
The purpose of the fully inlined "flat" implementation is to allow the
trivial identity DMA mappings to be optimised out at build time,
thereby avoiding an increase in code size for legacy BIOS builds.

IPv6 PXE was included in the UEFI specification over eight years ago,
specifically in version 2.3 (Errata D).
http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Spec_2_3_D.pdf
When iPXE is being chainloaded from a UEFI firmware performing a PXE
boot in an IPv6 network, it is essential that iPXE supports IPv6 as
well.
I understand that the reason for NET_PROTO_IPV6 being disabled by
default (in src/config/general.h) is that it would cause certain
space-constrained build targets to become too large. However, this
should not be an issue for EFI builds.
It is also worth noting that RFC 6540 makes a clear recommendation
that IPv6 support should not be considered optional.

Some UEFI BIOSes (observed with at least the Insyde UEFI BIOS on a
Microsoft Surface Go) provide a very broken version of the
UsbMassStorageDxe driver that is incapable of binding to the standard
EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL instances and instead relies on an undocumented
proprietary protocol (with GUID c965c76a-d71e-4e66-ab06-c6230d528425)
installed by the platform's custom version of UsbCoreDxe.
The upshot is that USB mass storage devices become inaccessible once
iPXE's native USB host controller drivers are loaded.
One possible workaround is to load a known working version of
UsbMassStorageDxe (e.g. from the EDK2 tree): this driver will
correctly bind to the standard EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL instances exposed
by iPXE. This workaround is ugly in practice, since it involves
embedding UsbMassStorageDxe.efi into the iPXE binary and including an
embedded script to perform the required "chain UsbMassStorageDxe.efi".
Provide a native USB mass storage driver for iPXE, allowing USB mass
storage devices to be exposed as iPXE SAN devices.

The only remaining use case in iPXE for the CPU direction flag is in
__memcpy_reverse() where it is set to allow the use of "rep movsb" to
perform the memory copy. This matches the equivalent functionality in
the EDK2 codebase, which has functions such as InternalMemCopyMem that
also temporarily set the direction flag in order to use "rep movsb".
As noted in commit d2fb317 ("[crypto] Avoid temporarily setting
direction flag in bigint_is_geq()"), some UEFI implementations are
known to have buggy interrupt handlers that may reboot the machine if
a timer interrupt happens to occur while the direction flag is set.
Work around these buggy UEFI implementations by using the
(unoptimised) generic_memcpy_reverse() on i386 or x86_64 UEFI
platforms.

Disable the use of MD5 as an OID-identifiable algorithm. Note that
the MD5 algorithm implementation will still be present in the build,
since it is used implicitly by various cryptographic components such
as HTTP digest authentication; this commit removes it only from the
list of OID-identifiable algorithms.
It would be appropriate to similarly disable the use of SHA-1 by
default, but doing so would break the use of OCSP since several OCSP
responders (including the current version of openca-ocspd) are not
capable of interpreting the hashAlgorithm field and so will fail if
the client uses any algorithm other than the configured default.

There are many ways in which the object for a cryptographic algorithm
may be included, even if not explicitly enabled in config/crypto.h.
For example: the MD5 algorithm is required by TLSv1.1 or earlier, by
iSCSI CHAP authentication, by HTTP digest authentication, and by NTLM
authentication.
In the current implementation, inclusion of an algorithm for any
reason will result in the algorithm's ASN.1 object identifier being
included in the "asn1_algorithms" table, which consequently allows the
algorithm to be used for any ASN1-identified purpose. For example: if
the MD5 algorithm is included in order to support HTTP digest
authentication, then iPXE would accept a (validly signed) TLS
certificate using an MD5 digest.
Split the ASN.1 object identifiers into separate files that are
required only if explicitly enabled in config/crypto.h. This allows
an algorithm to be omitted from the "asn1_algorithms" table even if
the algorithm implementation is dragged in for some other purpose.
The end result is that only the algorithms that are explicitly enabled
in config/crypto.h can be used for ASN1-identified purposes such as
signature verification.
