The drive specification alone does not necessarily contain enough
information to perform a SAN boot (or local disk boot) under UEFI. If
the next-stage bootloader is installed in the EFI system partition
under a non-standard name (e.g. "\EFI\debian\grubx64.efi") then this
explicit boot filename must also be specified.
Generalise this concept to use a "SAN boot configuration parameters"
structure (currently containing only the optional explicit boot
filename), to allow for easy expansion to provide other parameters
such as the partition UUID or volume label.

The UEFI shim implements a fairly nicely designed revocation mechanism
designed around the concept of security generations. Unfortunately
nobody in the shim community has thus far added the relevant metadata
to the Linux kernel, with the result that current versions of shim are
incapable of booting current versions of the Linux kernel.
Experience shows that there is unfortunately no point in trying to get
a fix for this upstreamed into shim. We therefore default to working
around this undesirable behaviour by patching data read from the
"SbatLevel" variable used to hold SBAT configuration.

Add support for using a shim as a helper to execute an EFI image.
When a shim has been specified via shim(), the shim image will be
passed to LoadImage() instead of the selected EFI image and the
command line will be prepended with the name of the selected EFI
image. The selected EFI image will be accessible to the shim via the
virtual filesystem as a hidden file.
Reduce the Secure Boot attack surface by removing, where possible, the
spurious requirement for a third party second stage loader binary such
as GRUB to be used solely in order to call the "shim lock protocol"
entry point.
Do not install the EFI PXE APIs when using a shim, since if shim finds
EFI_PXE_BASE_CODE_PROTOCOL on the loaded image's device handle then it
will attempt to download files afresh instead of using the files
already downloaded by iPXE and exposed via the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM
protocol. (Experience shows that there is no point in trying to get a
fix for this upstreamed into shim.)

Most image flags are independent values: any combination of flags may
be set for any image, and the flags for one image are independent of
the flags for any other image. The "selected" flag does not follow
this pattern: at most one image may be marked as selected at any time.
When invoking a kernel via the UEFI shim, there will be multiple
"special" images: the selected kernel itself, the shim image, and
potentially a shim-signed GRUB binary to be used as a crutch to assist
shim in loading the kernel (since current versions of the UEFI shim
are not capable of directly loading a Linux kernel).
Remove the "selected" image flag and replace it with a general concept
of an image tag with the same semantics: a given tag may be assigned
to at most one image, an image may be found by its tag only while the
image is currently registered, and a tag will survive unregistration
and reregistration of an image (if it has not already been assigned to
a new image). For visual consistency, also replace the current image
pointer with a current image tag.
The image pointer stored within the image tag holds only a weak
reference to the image, since the selection of an image should not
prevent that image from being freed. (The strong reference to the
currently executing image is held locally within the execution scope
of image_exec(), and is logically separate from the current image
pointer.)

When invoking a kernel via the UEFI shim, the kernel (and potentially
also a helper binary such as GRUB) must be accessible via the virtual
filesystem exposed via EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL but must not be
present in the magic initrd constructed from all registered images.
Allow for images to be flagged as hidden, which will cause them to be
excluded from API-level lists of all images such as the virtual
filesystem directory contents, the magic initrd, or the Multiboot
module list. Hidden images remain visible to iPXE commands including
"imgstat", which will show a "[HIDDEN]" flag for such images.

Many consoles will scroll immediately upon drawing a character in the
rightmost column of the bottom row of the display, in order to be able
to advance the cursor to the next character (even if the cursor is
disabled).
This causes PXE menus to display incorrectly. Specifically, pressing
the down arrow key while already on the last menu item may cause the
whole screen to scroll and the line to be duplicated.
Fix by moving the PXE menu one row up from the bottom of the screen.

When chainloading iPXE from a VLAN device, the MAC address of the
loaded image's device handle will match the MAC address of the trunk
device created by iPXE, and the autoboot process will then erroneously
consider the trunk device to be an autoboot device.
Fix by recording the VLAN tag along with the MAC address, and treating
the VLAN tag as part of the filter used to match the MAC address
against candidate network devices.

iPXE decodes any percent-encoded characters during the URI parsing
stage, thereby allowing protocol implementations to consume the raw
field values directly without further decoding.
When reconstructing a URI string for use in an HTTP request line, the
percent-encoding is currently reapplied in a reversible way: we
guarantee that our reconstructed URI string could be decoded to give
the same raw field values.
This technically violates RFC3986, which states that "URIs that differ
in the replacement of a reserved character with its corresponding
percent-encoded octet are not equivalent". Experiments show that
several HTTP server applications will attach meaning to the choice of
whether or not a particular character was percent-encoded, even when
the percent-encoding is unnecessary from the perspective of parsing
the URI into its component fields.
Fix by storing the originally encoded substrings for the path, query,
and fragment fields and using these original encoded versions when
reconstructing a URI string. The path field is also stored as a
decoded string, for use by protocols such as TFTP that communicate
using raw strings rather than URI-encoded strings. All other fields
(such as the username and password) continue to be stored only in
their decoded versions since nothing ever needs to know the originally
encoded versions of these fields.

The URIs printed as part of download progress messages are intended to
provide a quick visual progress indication to the user. Very long
query strings can render this visual indication useless in practice,
since the most important information (generally the URI host and path)
is drowned out by multiple lines of human-illegible URI-encoded data.
Omit the query string entirely from the download progress message.
For consistency and brevity, also omit the URI fragment along with the
username and password (which was previously redacted anyway).

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.

Add basic support for multipath block devices. The "sanboot" and
"sanhook" commands now accept a list of SAN URIs. We open all URIs
concurrently. The first connection to become available for issuing
block device commands is marked as the active path and used for all
subsequent commands; all other connections are then closed. Whenever
the active path fails, we reopen all URIs and repeat the process.

Merge the functionality of parse_next_server_and_filename() and
tftp_uri() into a single pxe_uri(), which takes a server address
(IPv4/IPv6/none) and a filename, and produces a URI using the rule:
- if the filename is a hierarchical absolute URI (i.e. includes a
scheme such as "http://" or "tftp://") then use that URI and ignore
the server address,
- otherwise, if the server address is recognised (according to
sa_family) then construct a TFTP URI based on the server address,
port, and filename
- otherwise fail.

When using iPXE as an option ROM for a PCI USB controller (e.g. via
qemu's "-device nec-usb-xhci,romfile=..." syntax), the ROM prefix will
set the PCI bus:dev.fn address of the USB controller as the PCI
autoboot device. This will cause iPXE to fail to boot from any
detected USB network devices, since they will not match the autoboot
bus type (or location).
Fix by allowing the autoboot bus type and location to match against
the network device or any of its parent devices. This allows the
match to succeed for USB network devices attached to the selected PCI
USB controller.

At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.

iPXE currently calls cpu_nap() while performing DHCP, in order to
reduce CPU utilisation on virtual machines. Under mild broadcast load
(~100 packets per second), this can cause received packets to be
dropped because the receive descriptor ring is overrun before the next
18Hz timer interrupt wakes up the CPU. The result is that DHCP is
likely to intermittently fail on networks with appreciable amounts of
broadcast (or multicast) traffic.
This behaviour was introduced in the series of commits which
generalised the "dhcp" command to the "ifconf" command. The earlier
code (which did not handle IPv6 configuration) had no call to
cpu_nap() and so did not suffer from this problem.
Fix by removing the call to cpu_nap() in ifpoller_progress(). This
has the undesirable side effect that CPU utilisation will remain at
100% while waiting for DHCP to complete (which can take several
seconds, if we have to wait around for potential ProxyDHCP offers to
arrive).
