The file:/ URI syntax may be used to refer to local files on the
filesystem from which the iPXE binary was loaded. This is currently
implemented by directly using the DeviceHandle recorded in our
EFI_LOADED_IMAGE_PROTOCOL.
This mechanism will fail when a USB-enabled build of iPXE is loaded
from USB storage and subsequently installs its own USB host controller
drivers, since doing so will disconnect and reconnect the existing USB
storage drivers and thereby invalidate the original storage device
handle.
Fix by recording the device path for the loaded image's DeviceHandle
at initialisation time and later using the recorded device path to
locate the appropriate device handle.

The various USB specifications all use one-based numbering for ports.
This scheme is applied consistently across the various relevant
specifications, covering both port numbers that appear on the wire
(i.e. downstream hub port numbers) and port numbers that exist only
logically (i.e. root hub port numbers).
The UEFI specification is ambiguous about the port numbers as used for
the ParentPortNumber field within a USB_DEVICE_PATH structure. As of
UEFI specification version 2.8 errata B:
- section 10.3.4.5 just states "USB Parent Port Number" with no
indication of being zero-based or one-based
- section 17.1.1 notes that for the EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL, references
to PortNumber parameters are zero-based for root hub ports
- section 17.1.1 also mentions a TranslatorPortNumber used by
EFI_USB2_HC_PROTOCOL, with no indication of being zero-based or
one-based
- there are no other mentions of USB port numbering schemes.
Experimentation and inspection of the EDK2 codebase reveals that at
least the EDK2 reference implementation will use zero-based numbering
for both root and non-root hub ports when populating a USB_DEVICE_PATH
structure (though will inconsistently use one-based numbering for the
TranslatorPortNumber parameter).
Use zero-based numbering for both root and non-root hub ports when
constructing a USB_DEVICE_PATH in order to match the behaviour of the
EDK2 implementation.

According to the latest UEFI specification (Version 2.8 Errata B)
p. 7.2:
"Buffer: A pointer to a pointer to the allocated buffer if the call
succeeds; undefined otherwise."
So implementations are obliged neither to return NULL, if the
allocation fails, nor to preserve the contents of the pointer.
Make the logic more reliable by checking the status code from
AllocatePool() instead of checking the returned pointer for NULL

Claiming the SNP devices has the side effect of raising the TPL to
iPXE's normal operating level of TPL_CALLBACK (see the commit message
for c89a446 ("[efi] Run at TPL_CALLBACK to protect against UEFI
timers") for details). This must happen before executing any code
that relies upon the TPL having been raised to TPL_CALLBACK.
The call to efi_snp_claim() in efi_download_start() currently happens
only after the call to xfer_open(). Calling xfer_open() will
typically result in a retry timer being started, which will result in
a call to currticks() in order to initialise the timer. The call to
currticks() will drop to TPL_APPLICATION and restore to TPL_CALLBACK
in order to allow a timer tick to occur. Since this call happened
before the call to efi_snp_claim(), the restored TPL is incorrect.
This in turn results in efi_snp_claim() recording the incorrect
original TPL, causing efi_snp_release() to eventually restore the
incorrect TPL, causing the system to lock up when ExitBootServices()
is called at TPL_CALLBACK.
Fix by moving the call to efi_snp_claim() to the start of
efi_download_start().

As per commit c89a446 ("[efi] Run at TPL_CALLBACK to protect against
UEFI timers") we expect to run at TPL_CALLBACK almost all of the time.
Various code paths rely on this assumption. Code paths that need to
temporarily lower the TPL (e.g. for entropy gathering) will restore it
to TPL_CALLBACK.
The entropy gathering code will be run during DRBG initialisation,
which happens during the call to startup(). In the case of iPXE
compiled as an EFI application this code will run within the scope of
efi_snp_claim() and so will execute at TPL_CALLBACK as expected.
In the case of iPXE compiled as an EFI driver the code will
incorrectly run at TPL_APPLICATION since there is nothing within the
EFI driver entry point that raises (and restores) the TPL. The net
effect is that a build that includes the entropy-gathering code
(e.g. a build with HTTPS enabled) will return from the driver entry
point at TPL_CALLBACK, which causes a system lockup.
Fix by raising and restoring the TPL within the EFI driver entry
point.

The EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL on the Microsoft Surface Go does not generate
random numbers. Successive calls to GetRNG() without any intervening
I/O operations (such as writing to the console) will produce identical
results. Successive reboots will produce identical results.
It is unclear what the Microsoft Surface Go is attempting to use as an
entropy source, but it is demonstrably producing zero bits of entropy.
The failure is already detected by the ANS-mandated Repetition Count
Test performed as part of our GetEntropy implementation. This
currently results in the entropy source being marked as broken, with
the result that iPXE refuses to perform any operations that require a
working entropy source.
We cannot use the existing EFI driver blacklisting mechanism to unload
the broken driver, since the RngDxe driver is integrated into the
DxeCore image.
Work around the broken driver by checking for consecutive identical
results returned by EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL and falling back to the original
timer-based entropy source.

Enable -fstack-protector for EFI builds, where binary size is less
critical than for BIOS builds.
The stack cookie must be constructed immediately on entry, which
prohibits the use of any viable entropy source. Construct a cookie by
XORing together various mildly random quantities to produce a value
that will at least not be identical on each run.
On detecting a stack corruption, attempt to call Exit() with an
appropriate error. If that fails, then lock up the machine since
there is no other safe action that can be taken.
The old conditional check for support of -fno-stack-protector is
omitted since this flag dates back to GCC 4.1.

Some platforms (observed with an AMI BIOS on an Apollo Lake system)
will spuriously fail the call to ConnectController() when the UEFI
network stack is disabled. This appears to be a BIOS bug that also
affects attempts to connect any non-iPXE driver to the NIC controller
handle via the UEFI shell "connect" utility.
Work around this BIOS bug by falling back to calling our
efi_driver_start() directly if the call to ConnectController() fails.
This bypasses any BIOS policy in terms of deciding which driver to
connect but still cooperates with the UEFI driver model in terms of
handle ownership, since the use of EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER ensures
that the BIOS is aware of our ownership claim.

On a Dell OptiPlex 7010, calling DisconnectController() on the LOM
device handle will lock up the system. Debugging shows that execution
is trapped in an infinite loop that is somehow trying to reconnect
drivers (without going via ConnectController()).
The problem can be reproduced in the UEFI shell with no iPXE code
present, by using the "disconnect" command. Experimentation shows
that the only fix is to unload (rather than just disconnect) the
"Ip4ConfigDxe" driver.
Add the concept of a blacklist of UEFI drivers that will be
automatically unloaded when iPXE runs as an application, and add the
Dell Ip4ConfigDxe driver to this blacklist.

Commit c89a446 ("[efi] Run at TPL_CALLBACK to protect against UEFI
timers") introduced a regression in the EFI entropy gathering code.
When the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL is not present, we fall back to using timer
interrupts (as for the BIOS build). Since timer interrupts are
disabled at TPL_CALLBACK, WaitForEvent() fails and no entropy can be
gathered.
Fix by dropping to TPL_APPLICATION while entropy gathering is enabled.

As noted in the comments, UEFI manages to combines the all of the
worst aspects of both a polling design (inefficiency and inability to
sleep until something interesting happens) and of an interrupt-driven
design (the complexity of code that could be preempted at any time,
thanks to UEFI timers).
This causes problems in particular for UEFI USB keyboards: the
keyboard driver calls UsbAsyncInterruptTransfer() to set up a periodic
timer which is used to poll the USB bus. This poll may interrupt a
critical section within iPXE, typically resulting in list corruption
and either a hang or reboot.
Work around this problem by mirroring the BIOS design, in which we run
with interrupts disabled almost all of the time.

Some HP BIOSes (observed with a Z840) seem to attempt to connect our
drivers in the middle of our call to DisconnectController(). The
precise chain of events is unclear, but the symptom is that we see
several calls to our Supported() and Start() methods, followed by a
system lock-up.
Work around this dubious BIOS behaviour by explicitly failing calls to
our Start() method while we are in the middle of attempting to
disconnect drivers.

The UEFI specification does not state whether or not a return value of
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL from the SNP Receive() method should follow the
usual EFI API behaviour of allowing the caller to retry the request
with an increased buffer size.

Some older operating systems (e.g. RHEL6) use a non-default filename
on the root disk and rely on setting an EFI variable to point to the
bootloader. This does not work when performing a SAN boot on a
machine where the EFI variable is not present.
Fix by allowing a non-default filename to be specified via the
"sanboot --filename" option or the "san-filename" setting. For
example:
sanboot --filename \efi\redhat\grub.efi \
iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6
or
option ipxe.san-filename code 188 = string;
option ipxe.san-filename "\\efi\\redhat\\grub.efi";
option root-path "iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6";

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.

Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
initialisation.
TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.
TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).
TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a
usable timer. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line
option "-cpu host,+invtsc".)

EFI provides no clean way for device drivers to shut down in
preparation for handover to a booted operating system. The platform
firmware simply doesn't bother to call the drivers' Stop() methods.
Instead, drivers must register an EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES event
to be signalled when ExitBootServices() is called, and clean up
without any reference to the EFI driver model.
Unfortunately, all timers silently stop working when ExitBootServices()
is called. Even more unfortunately, and for no discernible reason,
this happens before any EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES events are
signalled. The net effect of this entertaining design choice is that
any timeout loops on the shutdown path (e.g. for gracefully closing
outstanding TCP connections) may wait indefinitely.
There is no way to report failure from currticks(), since the API
lazily assumes that the host system continues to travel through time
in the usual direction. Work around EFI's violation of this
assumption by falling back to a simple free-running monotonic counter.

In edk2, there are several drivers that associate HII forms (and
corresponding config access protocol instances) with each individual
network device. (In this context, "network device" means the EFI
handle on which the SNP protocol is installed, and on which the device
path ending with the MAC() node is installed also.) Such edk2 drivers
are, for example: Ip4Dxe, HttpBootDxe, VlanConfigDxe.
In UEFI, any given handle can carry at most one instance of a specific
protocol (see e.g. the specification of the InstallProtocolInterface()
boot service). This implies that the class of drivers mentioned above
can't install their EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL instances on the
SNP handle directly -- they would conflict with each other.
Accordingly, each of those edk2 drivers creates a "private" child
handle under the SNP handle, and installs its config access protocol
(and corresponding HII package list) on its child handle.
The device path for the child handle is traditionally derived by
appending a Hardware Vendor Device Path node after the MAC() node.
The VenHw() nodes in question consist of a GUID (by definition), and
no trailing data (by choice). The purpose of these VenHw() nodes is
only that all the child nodes can be uniquely identified by device
path.
At the moment iPXE does not follow this pattern. It doesn't run into
a conflict when it installs its EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL
directly on the SNP handle, but that's only because iPXE is the sole
driver not following the pattern. This behavior seems risky (one
might call it a "latent bug"); better align iPXE with the edk2 custom.

The SNP device path includes the network device's MAC address within
the MAC_ADDR_DEVICE_PATH.MacAddress field. We check that the
link-layer address will fit within this field, and then perform the
copy using the length of the destination buffer.
At 32 bytes, the MacAddress field is actually larger than the current
maximum iPXE link-layer address. The copy therefore overflows the
source buffer, resulting in trailing garbage bytes being appended to
the device path's MacAddress. This is invisible in debug messages,
since the DevicePathToText protocol will render only the length
implied by the interface type.
Fix by copying only the actual length of the link-layer address (which
we have already verified will not overflow the destination buffer).
