The null crypto algorithms are intended to do nothing: the null digest
algorithm accepts all input and generates a zero-length digest, and
the null cipher algorithm simply copies the input unmodifed to the

The null public-key algorithm currently does nothing successfully.
Unlike the null digest and cipher algorithms, the null public-key

The != operator has higher precedence than = in C, so the expressions:
rc = imgacquire ( ..., image ) != 0
are parsed as:
rc = ( imgacquire ( ..., image ) != 0 )
This assigns the boolean result (0 or 1) to rc instead of the actual
return code from imgacquire(). As a result, strerror(rc) reports an
incorrect error message when debugging is enabled.
Add parentheses around each assignment to ensure rc captures the
actual return value, matching the pattern already used in

Commit 988243c ("[virtio] Add virtio-net 1.0 support") erroneously
placed the code to unmap the device regions before the code to
unregister the network device. In the common case that the network
device is still open at the time that we shut down to boot the OS,
this results in the regions being accessed after having been unmapped.
For 32-bit BIOS or for UEFI with no IOMMU enabled, the iounmap()
operation is a no-op and so the driver still happens to work despite
the ordering bug. For 64-bit BIOS or for UEFI with an IOMMU enabled,
the iounmap() operation is not a no-op, and the driver will trigger a
page fault.
Fix by moving the call to unregister_netdev() to before the code that
unmaps the device regions.

Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
Experimentation suggests Alibaba Cloud API calls are extremely
unreliable, with a failure rate around 1%. It is therefore necessary
to allow for retrying basically every API call.
Some API calls (e.g. DescribeImages or ModifyImageAttribute) are
naturally idempotent and so safe to retry. Some non-idempotent API
calls (e.g. CopyImage) support explicit idempotence tokens. The
remaining API calls may simply fail on a retry, if the original
request happened to succeed but failed to return a response.
We could write convoluted retry logic around the non-idempotent calls,
but this would substantially increase the complexity of the already
unnecessarily complex code. For now, we assume that retrying
non-idempotent requests is probably more likely to fix transient
failures than to cause additional problems.

The CopyImage API call does work, but is unacceptably slow due to rate
limiting. Importing a full set of images to all regions can take
several hours (and is likely to fail at some point due to transient
errors in making API calls).
Resort to a mixture of strategies to get images imported to all
regions:
- For regions with working OSS that are not blocked by Chinese state
censorship laws, upload the image files to an OSS bucket and then
import the images.
- For regions with working OSS that are blocked by Chinese state
censorship laws but that have working FC, use a temporary FC
function to copy the image files from the uncensored OSS buckets
and then import the images. Attempt downloads from a variety of
uncensored buckets, since cross-region OSS traffic tends to
experience a failure rate of around 10% of requests.
- For regions that have working OSS but are blocked by Chinese state
censorship laws and do not have working FC, or for regions that
don't even have working OSS, resort to using CopyImage to copy the
previously imported images from another region. Spread the
imports across as many source regions as possible to minimise the
effect of the CopyImage rate limiting.

Importing images into Alibaba Cloud currently relies upon using a
temporary Function Compute function to work around Chinese state
censorship laws that prevent direct access to OSS bucket contents in
mainland China regions.
Unfortunately, Alibaba Cloud regions are extremely asymmetric in terms
of feature support. (For example, some regions do not even support
IPv6 networking.) Several mainland China regions do not support
Function Compute, and so this workaround is not available for those
regions.
A possible alternative censorship workaround is to create temporary
ECS virtual machine instances instead of temporary Function Compute
functions. This requires the existence of a role that can be used by
ECS instances to access OSS. We cannot use the AliyunFcDefaultRole
that is currently used by Function Compute, since this role cannot be
assumed by ECS instances.
Creating roles is a privileged operation, and it would be sensible to
assume that the image importer (which may be running as part of a
GitHub Actions workflow) may not have permission to itself create a
suitable temporary role. The censorship bypass role must therefore be
set up once in advance by a suitably privileged user.
Add the ability to create a suitable censorship bypass role to the
Alibaba Cloud setup utility.

For UEFI, the USB disk image is constructed from the built EFI binary
(e.g. bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi) by genfsimg, which does not itself have
any way to access the build configuration. We therefore need a way to
annotate the binary such that genfsimg can determine whether or not to
include a log partition within the USB disk image.
The "OEM ID" and "OEM information" fields within the PE header can be
used for this, since they are easily accessed and serve no other
purpose. We define bit 0 of "OEM information" as a flag indicating
that a log partition should be included. If this bit is set, genfsimg
will create a log partition with a layout matching that of the BIOS
build (i.e. using partition 3 and at an offset of 16kB from the start
of the disk).
The PE header is constructed by elf2efi.c, which takes as an input the
linked ELF form of the binary. We use an ELF .note section to allow
any linked-in object to communicate the log partition request through
to elf2efi.c, which then populates the OEM information field
accordingly.
We choose to use the same field locations within the BIOS bzImage
header, since this allows genfsimg to use the same logic for both BIOS
and UEFI binaries. In a BIOS build, there is no external processing
equivalent to elf2efi.c, and so we construct the field value directly
using absolute symbols and explicit relocation records.
(Note that the bzImage header is relevant only when using genfsimg to
construct a combined BIOS/UEFI image. In the common case of building
a BIOS-only image such as bin/ipxe.usb, the partition table is
manually constructed by usbdisk.S and genfsimg is not involved.)

The syslinux function check_fat_bootsect() performs some sanity checks
to ensure that the filesystem type string (e.g. "FAT12") is correct
for the total number of clusters in the FAT. There is unfortunately a
bug in its calculation of the number of sectors occupied by the root
directory, which causes it to underestimate the number of sectors by a
factor of 32.
When the total number of clusters is close to the FAT12 limit of 4096,
this bug can cause syslinux to erroneously report that the filesystem
has "more than 4084 clusters but claims FAT12".
Work around this bug by selecting an explicit cluster size in order to
avoid potentially problematic cluster counts. We default to using 4kB
clusters, doubling to 8kB if using 4kB would result in a total cluster
count near 4096 (the FAT12 limit) or near 65536 (the FAT16 limit).

The USB disk image constructed by util/genfsimg is currently a raw FAT

Following the examples of aws-int13con and gce-int13con, add a utility
that can be used to read the INT13 console log from a used iPXE boot
disk in Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS).
We cannot reliably access the used iPXE boot disk (or a snapshot
created from it) since OSS buckets in mainland China cannot be
accessed due to Chinese laws. We therefore create a snapshot and
attach this snapshot as a data disk to a temporary Linux instance, as
we do in Google Compute Engine.
Unlike in Google Compute Engine, we cannot reliably capture serial
port output from the temporary Linux instance. Issuing the relevant
GetInstanceConsoleOutput API call will cause the output to be captured
once and (unpredictably) cached. Without knowing in advance precisely
when the output is complete, we cannot use this approach to capture
the relevant part of the output.
We therefore use an Alibaba Cloud Linux image that includes the Cloud
Assistant Agent. This allows us to use the RunCommand API call to run
a command on the instance and capture the output, all done via the
control plane so that we are not dependent on having direct network
access to the temporary instance.

Following the examples of aws-import and gce-import, add a utility
that can be used to upload an iPXE disk image to Alibaba Cloud Elastic
Compute Service (ECS) as a bootable image.
The iPXE disk image is first uploaded to a temporary Object Storage
Service (OSS) bucket and then imported as an ECS image. The temporary
bucket is deleted after use.
As with Google Compute Engine, an appropriate image family name is
identified automatically: "ipxe" for BIOS images, "ipxe-uefi-x86-64"
for x86_64 UEFI images, and "ipxe-uefi-arm64" for AArch64 UEFI images.
This allows the latest image within each family to be launched within
needing to know the precise image name.
Copies of the images are uploaded to all selected regions. One major
complication is that OSS buckets in mainland China can be created but
cannot be accessed due to Chinese laws, which require an ICP filing
for any bucket hosted in mainland China. We work around this
restriction by first uploading the image to a region outside mainland
China and then using a temporary Function Compute function running in
each region to copy the images to the OSS bucket via the internal OSS
endpoints, which are not subject to the same restrictions.

The undionly.kpxe binary does not need the full PCI bus support.

Dragging in the PCI configuration allows the PCI settings mechanism to

is around 200 bytes in the final binary, which is acceptable for a
generally very useful feature.
Users wanting to minimise the binary size can choose to explicitly

Since October 2025, the Microsoft UEFI Signing Requirements have
included a clause stating that "submissions must contain a valid
signed SPDX SBOM in a custom '.sbom' PE section". A list of required
fields is provided, and a link is given to "the Microsoft SBOM tool to
aid SBOM generation". So far, so promising.
The Microsoft SBOM tool has no support for handling a .sbom PE
section. There is no published document that specifies what is
supposed to appear within this PE section. An educated guess is that
it should probably contain the raw JSON data in the same format that
the Microsoft SBOM tool produces.
The list of required fields does not map to identifiable fields within
the JSON. In particular:
- "file name / software"
This might be the top-level "name" field. It's hard to tell. The
SPDX SBOM specification is not particularly informative either: the
only definition it appears to give for "name" is "This field
identifies the name of an Element as designated by the creator",
which is a spectacularly useless definition.
- "software version / component generation (shim)"
This may refer to the "packages[].versionInfo" field. There is no
obvious relevance for the words "component", "generation", or
"shim". The proximity of "generation" and "shim" suggests that this
might be related in some way to the SBAT security generation, which
is absolutely not the same thing as the software version.
- "vendor / company name (this must exactly match the verified company
name in the submitter's EV certificate on the Microsoft HDC partner
center account)"
This is clearly written as though it has some significance for the
UEFI signing submission process. Unfortunately there is no obvious
map to any defined SBOM field. An educated guess is that this might
be referring to "packages[].supplier", since experiments show that
the Microsoft SBOM tool will fail validation unless this field is
present.
- "product-name"
This might also be the top-level "name" field. There is no
indication given as to how this might differ from "file name /
software".
- "OEM Name" and "OEM ID"
These seem to be terms made up on the spur of the moment. The
three-letter sequence "OEM" does not appear anywhere within the
codebase of the Microsoft SBOM tool.
In the absence of any meaningful specification, we choose not to
engage in good faith with this requirement. Instead, we construct a
best guess at the contents of a .sbom section that has some chance of
being accepted by the UEFI signing submission process. We assume that
anything that passes "sbom-tool validate" will probably be accepted,
with the only actual check being that the supplier name must match the
registered EV code signing certificate.
To anyone who actually cares about the arguably valuable benefits of
having a software bill of materials: please stop creating junk
requirements. If you want people to actually make the effort to
produce useful SBOM data, then make it clear what data you want.
Provide unambiguous specifications. Provide example files. Provide
tools that actually do the job they are claimed to do. Don't just
throw out another piece of "MUST HAS THING BECAUSE IS MORE SECURITY"
garbage and call it a day.
