Commit 238050d ("[build] Work around bug in gcc >= 4.8") works around
one instance of a bug in recent versions of gcc, in which "ebp" cannot
be specified within an asm clobber list.
Some versions of gcc seem to exhibit the same bug on other points in
the codebase. Fix by changing all instances of "ebp" in a clobber
list to use the push/pop %ebp workaround instead.

Some PXE stacks are known to claim that IRQs are supported, but then
never generate interrupts. No satisfactory solution has been found to
this problem; the workaround is to add the PCI vendor and device IDs
to a list of devices which will be treated as simply not supporting
interrupts.
This is something of a hack, since it will generate false positives
for identical devices with a working PXE stack (e.g. those that have
been reflashed with iPXE), but it's an improvement on the current
situation.

The undinet driver always has to make a copy of the received frame
into an I/O buffer. Align this copy sensibly so that subsequent
operations are as fast as possible.

Some PXE stacks (observed with a QLogic 8242) will always try to
prepend a link-layer header, even if the caller uses P_UNKNOWN to
indicate that the link-layer header has already been filled in. This
results in an invalid packet being transmitted.
Work around these faulty PXE stacks where possible by stripping the
existing link-layer header and allowing the PXE stack to (re)construct
the link-layer header itself.

On at least one PXE stack (Realtek r8169), PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE has
been observed to fail intermittently due to a media test failure (PXE
error 0x00000061). Retrying the call to PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE
succeeds, and the NIC is then usable.
It is worth noting that this particular Realtek PXE stack is already
known to be unreliable: for example, it repeatably fails its own
boot-time media test after every warm reboot.
Fix by attempting PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE multiple times, with a short
delay between each attempt to allow the link to settle.

Some PXE stacks (notably old Etherboot/gPXE stacks) will claim to use
the timer interrupt, rather than reporting that interrupts are not
supported. Since using the timer interrupt is equivalent to polling
anyway, we may as well genuinely poll these stacks.

Some PXE stacks advertise that interrupts are not supported, despite
requiring the use of interrupts. Attempt to cope with such cards
without breaking others by always hooking the interrupt, and using the
"interrupts supported" flag only to decide whether or not to wait for
an interrupt before calling PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS.
The possible combinations are therefore:
1. Card generates interrupts and claims to support interrupts
iPXE will call PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS only after an interrupt
has been observed. (This is required to avoid lockups in some PXE
stacks, which spuriously sulk if called before an interrupt has
been generated.)
Such a card should work correctly.
2. Card does not generate interrupts and does not claim to support
interrupts
iPXE will call PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS indiscriminately, matching
the observed behaviour of at least one other PXE NBP (winBoot/i).
Such a card should work correctly.
3. Card generates interrupts but claims not to support interrupts
iPXE will call PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS indiscriminately. An
interrupt will still result in a call to PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_START.
Such a card may work correctly.
4. Card does not generate interrupts but claims to support interrupts
Such a card will not work at all.

Some network cards do not generate interrupts when operated via the
UNDI API. Allow for this by waiting for the ISR to be triggered only
if the PXE stack advertises that it supports interrupts. When the PXE
stack does not advertise interrupt support, we skip the call to
PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_START and just poll the device using
PXENV_UNDI_ISR_IN_PROCESS. This matches the observed behaviour of at
least one other PXE NBP (emBoot's winBoot/i), so there is a reasonable
chance of this working.

Use the shared code in libflat to perform the A20 transitions
automatically on each transition from real to protected mode. This
allows us to remove all explicit calls to gateA20_set().
The old warnings about avoiding automatically enabling A20 are
essentially redundant; they date back to the time when we would always
start hammering the keyboard controller without first checking to see
if gate A20 was already enabled (which it almost always is).

Loading multiple UNDI instances would be useful in systems that have
several network cards with vendor PXE ROMs. However, we cannot rely on
UNDI ROMs working correctly with multiple instances loaded
simultaneously.
The gPXE UNDI driver supports the following multi-NIC configurations:
1. Chainloading undionly.kpxe on a specific NIC.
2. Loading the UNDI driver for the first probed device and ignoring all
other UNDI devices in the system.
This patch refuses to probe additional UNDI devices so there can never
be multiple instances of UNDI loaded.

Calling the parent PXE stack (the stack that loaded us, for

it lets us get cached DHCP packets to avoid re-DHCP when working with

The hardware address is an intrinsic property of the hardware, while
the link-layer address can be changed at runtime. This separation is
exposed via APIs such as PXE and EFI, but is currently elided by gPXE.
Expose the hardware and link-layer addresses as separate properties
within a net device. Drivers should now fill in hw_addr, which will
be used to initialise ll_addr at the time of calling
register_netdev().
Certain combinations of PXE stack and BIOS result in a broken INT 18
call, which will leave the system displaying a "PRESS ANY KEY TO
REBOOT" message instead of proceeding to the next boot device. On
these systems, returning via the PXE stack is the only way to continue
to the next boot device. Returning via the PXE stack works only if we
haven't already blown away the PXE base code in pxeprefix.S.
In most circumstances, we do want to blow away the PXE base code.
Base memory is a limited resource, and it is desirable to reclaim as
much as possible. When we perform an iSCSI boot, we need to place the
iBFT above the 512kB mark, because otherwise it may not be detected by
the loaded OS; this may not be possible if the PXE base code is still
occupying that memory.
Introduce a new prefix type .kkpxe which will preserve both the PXE
base code and the UNDI driver (as compared to .kpxe, which preserves
the UNDI driver but uninstalls the PXE base code). This prefix type
can be used on systems that are known to experience the specific
problem of INT 18 being broken, or in builds (such as gpxelinux.0) for
which it is particularly important to know that returning to the BIOS
will work.

<stefanha@gmail.com>, minor structural alterations by Michael Brown
<mcb30@etherboot.org>.
There are many functions that take ownership of the I/O buffer they
are passed as a parameter. The caller should not retain a pointer to
the I/O buffer. Use iob_disown() to automatically nullify the
caller's pointer, e.g.:
xfer_deliver_iob ( xfer, iob_disown ( iobuf ) );
This will ensure that iobuf is set to NULL for any code after the call
to xfer_deliver_iob().
iob_disown() is currently used only in places where it simplifies the
code, by avoiding an extra line explicitly setting the I/O buffer
pointer to NULL. It should ideally be used with each call to any
function that takes ownership of an I/O buffer. (The SSA
optimisations will ensure that use of iob_disown() gets optimised away
in cases where the caller makes no further use of the I/O buffer
pointer anyway.)
If gcc ever introduces an __attribute__((free)), indicating that use
of a function argument after a function call should generate a
warning, then we should use this to identify all applicable function
call sites, and add iob_disown() as necessary.
This brings us in to line with Linux definitions, and also simplifies
adding x86_64 support since both platforms have 2-byte shorts, 4-byte
ints and 8-byte long longs.
The userptr_t is now the fundamental type that gets used for conversions.
For example, virt_to_phys() is implemented in terms of virt_to_user() and
user_to_phys().
Apparently some BIOSes will place option ROMs on 512-byte boundaries.
While this is against specification, it doesn't actually hurt
anything, so we may as well increase our scan granularity to 512
bytes.

__from_data16 and __from_text16 now take a pointer to a
.data16/.text16 variable, and return the real-mode offset within the
appropriate segment. This matches the use case for every occurrence
of these macros, and prevents potential future bugs such as that fixed
in commit d51d80f. (The bug arose essentially because "&pointer" is
still syntactically valid.)
We never set up specific multicast filters; native drivers will ask
the card to receive all multicast packets. The only way to achieve
this via the UNDI API is to enable promiscuous mode.
Add ability for network devices to flag link up/down state to the
networking core.
Autobooting code will now wait for link-up before attempting DHCP.
IPoIB reflects the Infiniband link state as the network device link state
(which is not strictly correct; we also need a succesful IPoIB IPv4
broadcast group join), but is probably more informative.

Since we don't know what the UNDI code does, it is safest to
save/restore %eflags even though the lower half of %eflags is
automatically saved by the interrupt itself.
As written, if the if the UNDI ISR call clobbers the upper halves of
any of the GPRs (which by convention it is permitted to do, and by
paranoia should be expected to do) then nothing in the interrupt
handler will recover the state.
Additionally, save/restore %fs and %gs out of sheer paranoia - it's a
cheap enough operation, and may prevent problems due to poorly written
UNDI stacks.
