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.

We currently use the SAN device pointer as the debug message stream
identifier. This pointer is not always available: for example, when
booting from a local disk there is no underlying SAN device.
Switch to using the drive number as the debug message colour stream

Newer versions of the GNU assembler (observed with binutils 2.41) will
complain about the ".arch i386" in files assembled with "as --64",
with the message "Error: 64bit mode not supported on 'i386'".
In files such as stack.S that contain no instructions to be assembled,
the ".arch i386" is redundant and may be removed entirely.
In the remaining files, fix by moving ".arch i386" below the relevant
".code16" or ".code32" directive, so that the assembler is no longer
expecting 64-bit instructions to be used by the time that the ".arch
i386" directive is encountered.

The PCI cloud API (PCIAPI_CLOUD) currently selects the first PCI API
that successfully discovers a PCI device address range. The ECAM API
may discover an address range but subsequently be unable to map the

being unusable.
Fix by instead selecting the first PCI API that can be successfully

As noted in commit 3c83843 ("[rng] Check for several functioning RTC
interrupts"), experimentation shows that Hyper-V cannot be trusted to
reliably generate RTC interrupts. (As noted in commit f3ba0fb
("[hyperv] Provide timer based on the 10MHz time reference count
MSR"), Hyper-V appears to suffer from a general problem in reliably
generating any legacy interrupts.) An alternative entropy source is
therefore required for an image that may be used in a Hyper-V Gen1
virtual machine.
The x86 RDRAND instruction provides a suitable alternative entropy
source, but may not be supported by all CPUs. We must therefore allow
for multiple entropy sources to be compiled in, with the single active
entropy source selected only at runtime.
Restructure the internal entropy API to allow a working entropy source
to be detected and chosen at runtime.
Enable the RDRAND entropy source for all x86 builds, since it is
likely to be substantially faster than any other source.

Commit 74222cd ("[rng] Check for functioning RTC interrupt") added a
check that the RTC is capable of generating interrupts via the legacy
PIC, since this mechanism appears to be broken in some Hyper-V virtual

Experimentation shows that the RTC is sometimes capable of generating
a single interrupt, but will then generate no subsequent interrupts.
This currently causes rtc_entropy_check() to falsely detect that the
entropy gathering mechanism is functional.
Fix by checking for several RTC interrupts before declaring that it is
a functional entropy source.

When chainloading iPXE from a VLAN device, the MAC address within the
cached DHCPACK will match the MAC address of the trunk device created
by iPXE, and the cached DHCPACK will then end up being erroneously
applied to the trunk device. This tends to break outbound IPv4
routing, since both the trunk and VLAN devices will have the same
assigned IPv4 address.
Fix by recording the VLAN tag along with the cached DHCPACK, and
treating the VLAN tag as part of the filter used to match the cached
DHCPACK against candidate network devices.

Pretty much all physical machines and off-the-shelf virtual machines
will provide a functional PCI BIOS. We therefore default to using
only the PCI BIOS, with no fallback to an alternative mechanism if the
PCI BIOS fails.
AWS EC2 provides the opportunity to experience some exceptions to this
rule. For example, the t3a.nano instances in eu-west-1 have no
functional PCI BIOS at all. As of commit 83516ba ("[cloud] Use
PCIAPI_DIRECT for cloud images") we therefore use direct Type 1
configuration space accesses in the images built and published for use
in the cloud.
Recent experience has discovered yet more variation in AWS EC2
instances. For example, some of the metal instance types have
multiple PCI host bridges and the direct Type 1 accesses therefore
see only a subset of the PCI devices.
Attempt to accommodate future such variations by making the PCI I/O
API selectable at runtime and choosing ECAM (if available), falling
back to the PCI BIOS (if available), then finally falling back to
direct Type 1 accesses.
This is implemented as a dedicated PCIAPI_CLOUD API, rather than by
having the PCI core select a suitable API at runtime (as was done for
timers in commit 302f1ee ("[time] Allow timer to be selected at
runtime"). The common case will remain that only the PCI BIOS API is
required, and we would prefer to retain the optimisations that come
from inlining the configuration space accesses in this common case.
Cloud images are (at present) disk images rather than ROM images, and
so the increased code size required for this design approach in the
PCIAPI_CLOUD case is acceptable.

The key with scancode 86 appears in the position between left shift
and Z on a US keyboard, where it typically fails to exist entirely.
Most US keyboard maps define this nonexistent key as generating "\|",
with the notable exception of "loadkeys" which instead reports it as
generating "<>". Both of these mapping choices duplicate keys that
exist elsewhere in the map, which causes problems for our ASCII-based
remapping mechanism.
Work around these quirks by treating the key as generating "\|" with
the high bit set, and making it subject to remapping. Where the BIOS
generates "\|" as expected, this allows us to remap to the correct
ASCII value.

To minimise code size, our keyboard mapping works on the basis of
allowing the BIOS to convert the keyboard scancode into an ASCII
character and then remapping the ASCII character.
This causes problems with keyboard layouts such as "fr" that swap the
shifted and unshifted digit keys, since the ASCII-based remapping will
spuriously remap the numeric keypad (which produces the same ASCII
values as the digit keys).
Fix by checking that the keyboard scancode is within the range of keys
that vary between keyboard mappings before attempting to remap the
ASCII character.

The INT 13 extensions provide a mechanism for accessing disks using
linear (LBA) rather than C/H/S addressing. SAN protocols such as
iSCSI invariably support only linear addresses and so iPXE currently
provides LBA access to all SAN disks (with autodetection and emulation
of an appropriate geometry for C/H/S accesses).
Most BIOSes will not report support for INT 13 extensions for floppy
disk drives, and some operating systems may be confused by a floppy
drive that claims such support.
Minimise surprise by reporting the existence of support for INT 13
extensions only for non-floppy drive numbers. Continue to provide

that may unconditionally use the INT 13 extensions without first

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.

The INT13 console type (CONSOLE_INT13) autodetects at initialisation
time a magic partition to be used for logging iPXE console output. If
the INT13 drive number mapping is subsequently changed (e.g. because
iPXE was used to perform a SAN boot), then the console logging output
will be written to the incorrect disk.
Fix by recording the INT13 vector at initialisation time, and using
this original vector to emulate INT13 calls for all subsequent
accesses. This should be robust against drive remapping performed
either by ourselves or by another bootloader (e.g. a chainloaded
undionly.kpxe which then performs a SAN boot).

On some platforms (observed in a small subset of Microsoft Azure

generating an interrupt via the legacy PIC. The RTC status registers
show that a periodic interrupt has been asserted, but the PIC IRR
shows that IRQ8 remains inactive.
On such systems, iPXE will currently freeze during the "iPXE

Work around this problem by checking that RTC interrupts are being
raised before returning from rtc_entropy_enable(). If no interrupt is
seen within 100ms, then we assume that the RTC interrupt mechanism is
broken. In these circumstances, iPXE will continue to initialise but
any subsequent attempt to generate entropy will fail. In particular,
HTTPS connections will fail with an error indicating that no entropy
