The ACPI API currently expects platforms to provide access to a single
contiguous ACPI table. Some platforms (e.g. Linux userspace) do not
provide a convenient way to obtain the entire ACPI table, but do
provide access to individual tables.
All iPXE consumers of the ACPI API require access only to individual
tables.
Redefine the internal API to make acpi_find() an API method, with all
existing implementations delegating to the current RSDT-based
implementation.

When building as a Linux userspace application, iPXE currently
implements its own system calls to the host kernel rather than relying
on the host's C library. The output binary is statically linked and
has no external dependencies.
This matches the general philosophy of other platforms on which iPXE
runs, since there are no external libraries available on either BIOS
or UEFI bare metal. However, it would be useful for the Linux
userspace application to be able to link against host libraries such
as libslirp.
Modify the build process to perform a two-stage link: first picking
out the requested objects in the usual way from blib.a but with
relocations left present, then linking again with a helper object to
create a standard hosted application. The helper object provides the
standard main() entry point and wrappers for the Linux system calls
required by the iPXE Linux drivers and interface code.

Recent versions of the GNU assembler (observed with GNU as 2.35 on
Fedora 33) will produce a warning message
Warning: no instruction mnemonic suffix given and no register
operands; using default for `bts'
The operand size affects only the potential range for the bit number.
Since we pass the bit number as an unsigned int, it is already
constrained to 32 bits for both i386 and x86_64.
Silence the assembler warning by specifying an explicit 32-bit operand
size (and thereby matching the choice that the assembler would
otherwise make automatically).

Assume that preservation of the %xmm registers is unnecessary during
installation of iPXE into memory, since this is an operation that by
its nature substantially disrupts large portions of the system anyway
(such as the E820 memory map). This assumption allows us to utilise
the existing CPUID code to check that FXSAVE/FXRSTOR are supported.
Test for support during the call to init_librm and store the flag for
use during subsequent calls to virt_call.
Reduce the scope of TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND to affecting only the call
to check_fxsr(), to reduce #ifdef pollution in the remaining code.

The code to detect the autoboot link-layer address and to load the
autoexec script currently runs before the call to initialise() and so
has to function without a working heap.
This requirement can be relaxed by deferring this code to run via an
initialisation function. This gives the code a normal runtime
environment, but still invokes it early enough to guarantee that the
original loaded image device handle has not yet been invalidated.

Some versions of GNU ld (observed with binutils 2.36 on Arch Linux)
introduce a .note.gnu.property section marked as loadable at a high
address and with non-empty contents. This adds approximately 128MB of
garbage to the BIOS .usb disk images.

as the USB disk partition table and MBR, in order to allow unwanted

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.

The Linux and FreeBSD drivers for the (totally undocumented) ENA
adapters use a two-phase reset mechanism: first set ENA_CTRL.RESET and
wait for this to be reflected in ENA_STAT.RESET, then clear
ENA_CTRL.RESET and again wait for it to be reflected in
ENA_STAT.RESET.
The iPXE driver currently assumes a self-clearing reset mechanism,
which appeared to work at the time that the driver was created but
seems no longer to function, at least on the t3.nano and t3a.nano
instance types found in eu-west-1.
Switch to a simplified version of the two-phase reset mechanism as
used by Linux and FreeBSD.

The semantics of the assembler's .align directive vary by CPU
architecture. For the ARM builds, it specifies a power of two rather
than a number of bytes. This currently leads to the .einfo entries
(which do not appear in the final binary) having an alignment of 256
bytes for the ARM builds.
Fix by switching to the GNU-specific directive .balign, which is
consistent across architectures

Support for building with the Intel C compiler (icc) was added in 2009
in the expectation that UEFI support would eventually involve
compiling iPXE to EFI Byte Code.
EFI Byte Code has never found any widespread use: no widely available
compilers can emit it, Microsoft refuses to sign EFI Byte Code
binaries for UEFI Secure Boot, and I have personally never encountered
any examples of EFI Byte Code in the wild.
The support for using the Intel C compiler has not been tested in over
a decade, and would almost certainly require modification to work with
current releases of the compiler.
Simplify the build process by removing this old legacy code.

As of commit 7c3d186 ("[build] Check that mkisofs equivalent supports
the required options"), we may refuse to use a mkisofs equivalent if
it does not support the options required to produce the requested
output file.
This can result in confusing error messages since the user is unaware
of the reason for which the installed mkisofs or genisoimage has been
rejected.

equivalent could not be used.

Some patched versions of gcc (observed with gcc 9.3.0 on Ubuntu 20.04)
enable -fcf-protection=full by default. This breaks code that is not
explicitly written to expect the use of this flag. The breakage
occurs only at runtime if the affected code (such as setjmp()) happens
to execute, and is therefore a particularly pernicious class of bug to
be introduced into working code by a broken compiler.
Work around these broken patched versions of gcc by detecting support
for -fcf-protection and explicitly setting -fcf-protection=none if
found.
If any Ubuntu maintainers are listening: PLEASE STOP DOING THIS. It's
extremely unhelpful to have to keep working around breakages that you
introduce by modifying the compiler's default behaviour. Do what Red
Hat does instead: set your preferred CFLAGS within the package build
system rather than by patching the compiler to behave in violation of
its own documentation.

Several distributions include versions of gcc that are patched to
create position-independent executables by default. These have caused
multiple problems over the years: see e.g. commits fe61f6d ("[build]
Fix compilation when gcc is patched to default to -fPIE -Wl,-pie"),
5de1346 ("[build] Apply the "-fno-PIE -nopie" workaround only to i386
builds"), 7c395b0 ("[build] Use -no-pie on newer versions of gcc"),
and decee20 ("[build] Disable position-independent code for ARM64 EFI
builds").
The build system currently attempts to work around these mildly broken
patched versions of gcc for the i386 and arm64 architectures. This
misses the relatively obscure bin-x86_64-pcbios build platform, which
turns out to also require the same workaround.
Attempt to preempt the next such required workaround by moving the
existing i386 version to apply to all platforms and all architectures,
unless -fpie has been requested explicitly by another Makefile (as is
done by arch/x86_64/Makefile.efi).

The function trace recorder build logic defaults to making "clean" a

After a ton of tedious work, I am pleased to finally introduce full
support for ConnectX-3 cards in iPXE!
The work has been done by finding all publicly available versions of
the Mellanox Flexboot sources, cleaning them up, synthesizing a git
history from them, cleaning out non-significant changes, and
correlating with the iPXE upstream git history.
After this, a proof-of-concept diff was produced, that allowed iPXE to
be compiled with rudimentary ConnectX-3 support. This diff was over
10k lines, and contained many changes that were not part of the core
driver.
Special thanks to Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org> for answering my
barrage of questions, and helping brainstorm the development along the
way.

The programming documentation states that the reset magic value is
"0x00000001 (Big Endian)", and the current code matches this by using
the value 0x01000000 for the implicitly little-endian writel().
Inspection of the FlexBoot source code reveals an exciting variety of
reset values, some suggestive of confusion around endianness.
Experimentation suggests that the value 0x01000001 works reliably
across a wide range of hardware.

Some older versions of the hardware (and/or firmware) do not report an
event when an Infiniband link reaches the INIT state. The driver
works around this missing event by calling ib_smc_update() on each
event queue poll while the link is in the DOWN state.
Commit 6cb12ee ("[hermon] Increase polling rate for command
completions") addressed this by speeding up the time taken to issue
each command invoked by ib_smc_update(). Experimentation shows that
the impact is still significant: for example, in a situation where an
unplugged port is opened, the throughput on the other port can be
reduced by over 99%.
Fix by throttling the rate at which link polling is attempted.

The version of awk used in FreeBSD seems to be incapable of formatting
unsigned 32-bit integers above 0x80000000 and will silently render any
such value as 0x80000000. For example:
echo 3735928559 | awk '{printf "0x%08x", $1}'
will produce 0x80000000 instead of the correct 0xdeadbeef.
This results in an approximately 50% chance of a build ID collision
when building on FreeBSD.
Work around this problem by passing the decimal value directly in the
ld --defsym argument value.
