Michael Brown b48965ae57 [xferbuf] Silently discard data written to a void data transfer buffer
Allow data to be successfully written (and discarded) to a void data
transfer buffer, rather than throwing an error.  This allows a void
data transfer buffer to be used when determining the length of a file
downloaded from a TFTP server that does not support the "tsize" option
defined in RFC 2349.

Michael Brown 3194c8ad0a [xferbuf] Record maximum required size
Record the maximum size required when writing into a data transfer
buffer.  This allows the maximum size to be determined even if
allocation fails (e.g. due to a fixed-size buffer or an out-of-memory
condition).

In the case of a fixed-size buffer (which may already be larger than
required), this allows the caller to determine the actual size used
for written data.

Michael Brown 9250a9091b [build] Create util/gensrvimg for building network boot server images
In the spirit of util/genfsimg, create a script util/gensrvimg that
can be used to install compiled iPXE binaries to a directory tree
suitable for copying to a TFTP or HTTP server.

The script detects the CPU architecture for each input file and
installs it into the appropriate subdirectory.  Top-level symlinks are
created for each filename, with earlier files taking precedence.

Signed binaries are detected and automatically placed into a Secure
Boot specific subdirectory, thereby allowing the reduced-feature
Secure Boot binaries to coexist with full-feature binaries in a single
installation directory tree.  An iPXE shim may be specified and will
be automatically installed alongside the signed binaries, with the
relevant symlink created for each signed binary.

Dexter Gerig 9443f7a2a7 [tls] Remove current time from client random bytes
TLS versions 1.2 and earlier define a 4-byte gmt_unix_time field as
part of the 32-byte ClientHello random data block, as a (minimal) form
of protection against a broken random number generator.  iPXE has
never set this field to a correct value.  Early versions had only
relative timers and so set this field to zero.  Commit 5da7123 ("[tls]
Include current time within the client random bytes") did set this
field to the current time, but neglected to use the correct byte
ordering.

TLS version 1.3 (defined in RFC 8446) omits the gmt_unix_time field
completely and just defines the whole 32-byte value as random data.

Simplify the code by using the approach defined in RFC 8446.

Michael Brown 2012ab71de [pxeprefix] Add a minimal iPXE NBP metadata header
There is no fixed structure for a PXE NBP: the format is just an
opaque block of executable code that is loaded into memory verbatim
and executed by jumping to the first byte.  It is consequently
impossible for external code to unambiguously identify a PXE NBP, or
to inspect any metadata about the NBP's functionality.

The first five bytes of an iPXE NBP are already fixed as being an ljmp
instruction that resets the code segment to 0x7c0 and continues
execution from the following byte.  We can extend this to include a
minimal header as follows:

    Offset    Content
    ------    -------
    0         ljmp instruction (0xea)
    1-2       ljmp offset (and therefore length of header)
    3-4       ljmp segment (0x07c0)
    5+        Metadata fields
    \_ 5      CPU architecture (0x32=i386, 0x64=x86_64)
    \_ 6-7    Magic value (0x18ae)

This is backwards-compatible to existing binaries (which effectively
have zero bytes of metadata following the ljmp instruction), and
allows for future expansion by appending metadata fields (with the
ljmp offset used to determine the overall header length and therefore
the presence of further fields).

In this initial version of the header, define a magic value (used to
differentiate an iPXE NBP from other binaries that happen to start
with an ljmp instruction), and a single-byte value that encodes
whether this binary is built for 32-bit or 64-bit CPUs.

Michael Brown 47467538f0 [build] Use little-endian word values in genfsimg
The genfsimg script extracts 16-bit word values from binary files
using the POSIX-compatible subset of options to "od".  This subset
does not include the "--endian" option supported by GNU od.  The
16-bit values are therefore effectively extracted and compared as byte
sequences.  Since all quantities in PE files are little-endian, this
requires all literals to be written in a byte-reversed form.

Switch to implementing get_word() in a marginally less efficient way
(by issuing two separate calls to get_byte()), so that the value
returned is the real 16-bit word value.  This allows several of the
constants to be written in a more meaningful form (e.g. "8664" for
x86_64, "aa64" for AArch64, etc).

This also eases the process of adding the ephemeral test-signing

private key is deliberately not preserved, to minimise the attack
surface that this would otherwise open up on the user's system.)

Michael Brown 21b5bd8406 [ci] Add support for building UEFI Secure Boot signed binaries
Add a job that takes the bin-x86_64-efi-sb and bin-arm64-efi-sb build
artifacts and signs them for UEFI Secure Boot.

The hardware token containing the trusted signing key is attached to a
dedicated self-hosted GitHub Actions runner.  Only tagged release
versions (and commits on the "sbsign" testing branch) will be signed
on this dedicated runner.  All other commits will be signed on a
standard GitHub hosted runner using an ephemeral test certificate that
is not trusted for UEFI Secure Boot.

No other work is done as part of the signing job.  The iPXE source
code is not even checked out, minimising any opportunity to grant
untrusted code access to the hardware token.

The hardware token password is held as a deployment environment
secret, with the environment being restricted to allow access only for
tagged release versions (and commits on the "sbsign" testing branch)
to provide an additional layer of security.

The signing certificates and intermediate certificates are obtained
from the iPXE Secure Boot CA repository, with the certificate selected
via deployment environment variables.

To minimise hidden state held on the self-hosted runner, the pcscd
service is run via a service container, with the hardware token passed
in via "--devices /dev/bus/usb".

Select the deployment environment name (and hence runner tag) via a
repository variable SBSIGN_ENVIRONMENT, so that forks do not attempt
to start jobs on a non-existent self-hosted runner.

Michael Brown 2161e976cd [build] Include USB drivers in the all-drivers build by default
Including USB drivers has some unavoidable side effects.  With a BIOS
firmware, attaching the host controller drivers will necessarily
disable the SMM-based USB legacy support which emulates a PS/2
keyboard.  With a UEFI firmware, loading the host controller drivers
may disconnect some of the less compliant vendor USB device drivers.

We have historically erred on the side of caution and avoided
including any USB drivers in the all-drivers build.  Time has moved
on, USB NICs have become more common (especially for laptops, which
now rarely include physical Ethernet ports), and the UEFI Secure Boot
model makes it prohibitively difficult for users to compile their own
binaries to add support for non-default drivers.

Switch to including USB drivers by default in the all-drivers build.
Provide a fallback build target that matches the existing driver set
(i.e. excluding any USB drivers) and can be built using e.g.:

   make bin/ipxe-legacy.iso

   make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe-legacy.efi

Michael Brown 6dc991d078 [slirp] Disable warnings for uncleanly deprecated libslirp functions
libslirp introduced a new API for constructing polling lists, to
accommodate Windows platforms where a handle descriptor may be too
large for an int.

Older versions of libslirp do not have the new API calls, and the
older API calls were immediately marked as deprecated, with no
overlap.  We would therefore need to use #ifdef and always have some
code that is deliberately not compiled, depending on the version of
libslirp that we find on the user's system.  This is highly
undesirable.

libslirp itself does for the portions of its code that necessarily
touch the deprecated functions).

The all-drivers targets (e.g. ipxe.efi) cannot currently be used in a

In a Secure Boot build, filter the all-drivers list to include only

Note that this automatic filter is a convenience shortcut: it is not
the enforcement mechanism.  The filter exists only to provide a

in Secure Boot builds.  The enforcement mechanism remains the

Michael Brown 481e043116 [librm] Work around two errata in the 386's "popal" instruction
Detailed experiments show that at least one model of 386 CPU has a
previously undocumented errata in the "popal" instruction.
Specifically: when the stack-address size is 16 bits and the operand
size is 32 bits, the "popal" instruction will erroneously load the
high 16 bits of %esp from the value stored on the stack.

The "movl -20(%esp), %esp" instruction near the end of virt_call()
currently relies on the assumption that the high 16 bits of %esp will
already be zero, since they were set to zero by the "movzwl %bp, %esp"
instruction at the end of prot_to_real() and will not have been
subsequently modified by the "popal".  This 386 CPU errata invalidates
that assumption, with the result that we end up loading the stack
pointer from an essentially undefined memory location.

Fix by inserting a "movzwl %sp, %esp" after the "popal" to explicitly
zero the high 16 bits of %esp.

Inserting this instruction also happens to work around another (known
and documented) errata in the 386, in which the CPU may malfunction if
"popal" is followed immediately by an instruction that uses a base
address register to form an effective address.
