839540cb95 [umalloc] Remove userptr_t from user memory allocations
Use standard void pointers for umalloc(), urealloc(), and ufree(),
with the "u" prefix retained to indicate that these allocations are
made from external ("user") memory rather than from the internal heap.

0bf0f8716a [smbios] Remove userptr_t from SMBIOS structure parsing
Simplify the SMBIOS structure parsing code by assuming that all
structure content is fully accessible via pointer dereferences.

In particular, this allows the convoluted find_smbios_structure() and
read_smbios_structure() to be combined into a single function
smbios_structure() that just returns a direct pointer to the SMBIOS
structure, with smbios_string() similarly now returning a direct
pointer to the relevant string.

4bcaa3d380 [efi] Disconnect existing drivers on a per-protocol basis
UEFI does not provide a direct method to disconnect the existing
driver of a specific protocol from a handle.  We currently use
DisconnectController() to remove all drivers from a handle that we
want to drive ourselves, and then rely on recursion in the call to
ConnectController() to reconnect any drivers that did not need to be
disconnected in the first place.

Experience shows that OEMs tend not to ever test the disconnection
code paths in their UEFI drivers, and it is common to find drivers
that refuse to disconnect, fail to close opened handles, fail to
function correctly after reconnection, or lock up the entire system.

Implement a more selective form of disconnection, in which we use
OpenProtocolInformation() to identify the driver associated with a
specific protocol, and then disconnect only that driver.

Perform disconnections in reverse order of attachment priority, since
this is the order likely to minimise the number of cascaded implicit
disconnections.

This allows our MNP driver to avoid performing any disconnections at
all, since it does not require exclusive access to the MNP protocol.
It also avoids performing unnecessary disconnections and reconnections
of unrelated drivers such as the "UEFI WiFi Connection Manager" that
attaches to wireless network interfaces in order to manage wireless
network associations.

be33224754 [efi] Show all drivers claiming support for a handle in debug messages
UEFI assumes in several places that an image installs only a single
driver binding protocol instance, and that this is installed on the
image handle itself.  We therefore provide a single driver binding
protocol instance, which delegates to the various internal drivers
(for EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL, EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL, etc) as appropriate.

The debug messages produced by our Supported() method can end up
slightly misleading, since they will report only the first internal
driver that claims support for a device.  In the common case of the
all-drivers build, there may be multiple drivers that claim support
for the same handle: for example, the PCI, NII, SNP, and MNP drivers
are all likely to initially find the protocols that they need on the
same device handle.

Report all internal drivers that claim support for a device, to avoid
confusing debug messages.

358db15612 [efi] Create safe wrappers for OpenProtocol() and CloseProtocol()
The UEFI model for opening and closing protocols is broken by design
and cannot be repaired.

Calling OpenProtocol() to obtain a protocol interface pointer does
not, in general, provide any guarantees about the lifetime of that
pointer.  It is theoretically possible that the pointer has already
become invalid by the time that OpenProtocol() returns the pointer to
its caller.  (This can happen when a USB device is physically removed,
for example.)

Various UEFI design flaws make it occasionally necessary to hold on to
a protocol interface pointer despite the total lack of guarantees that
the pointer will remain valid.

The UEFI driver model overloads the semantics of OpenProtocol() to
accommodate the use cases of recording a driver attachment (which is
modelled as opening a protocol with EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER
attributes) and recording the existence of a related child controller
(which is modelled as opening a protocol with
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_CHILD_CONTROLLER attributes).

The parameters defined for CloseProtocol() are not sufficient to allow
the implementation to precisely identify the matching call to
OpenProtocol().  While the UEFI model appears to allow for matched
open and close pairs, this is merely an illusion.  Calling
CloseProtocol() will delete *all* matching records in the protocol
open information tables.

Since the parameters defined for CloseProtocol() do not include the
attributes passed to OpenProtocol(), this means that a matched
open/close pair using EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_GET_PROTOCOL can inadvertently
end up deleting the record that defines a driver attachment or the
existence of a child controller.  This in turn can cause some very
unexpected side effects, such as allowing other UEFI drivers to start
controlling hardware to which iPXE believes it has exclusive access.
This rarely ends well.

To prevent this kind of inadvertent deletion, we establish a
convention for four different types of protocol opening:

- ephemeral opens: always opened with ControllerHandle = NULL

- unsafe opens: always opened with ControllerHandle = AgentHandle

- by-driver opens: always opened with ControllerHandle = Handle

- by-child opens: always opened with ControllerHandle != Handle

This convention ensures that the four types of open never overlap
within the set of parameters defined for CloseProtocol(), and so a
close of one type cannot inadvertently delete the record corresponding
to a different type.

8249bbc098 [efi] Use driver name only from driver binding handles in debug messages
Some non-driver handles may have an installed component name protocol.
In particular, iPXE itself installs these protocols on its SNP device
handles, to simplify the process of delegating GetControllerName()
from our single-instance driver binding protocol to whatever child
controllers the relevant EFI driver may have installed.

For non-driver handles, the device path is more useful as debugging
information than the driver name.  Limit the use of the component name
protocols to handles with a driver binding protocol installed, so that
we will end up using the device path for non-driver handles such as
the SNP device.

Continue to prefer the driver name to the device path for handles with
a driver binding protocol installed, since these will generally map to
things we are likely to conceptualise as drivers rather than as
devices.

Note that we deliberately do not use GetControllerName() to attempt to
get a human-readable name for a controller handle.  In the normal
course of events, iPXE is likely to disconnect at least some existing
drivers from their controller handles.  This would cause the name
obtained via GetControllerName() to change.  By using the device path
instead, we ensure that the debug message name remains the same even
when the driver controlling the handle is changed.

1a602c92ac [efi] Allow wrapping the global boot services table in situ
When DEBUG=efi_wrap is enabled, we construct a patched copy of the
boot services table and patch the global system table to point to this
copy.  This ensures that any subsequently loaded EFI binaries will
call our wrappers.

Previously loaded EFI binaries will typically have cached the boot
services table pointer (in the gBS variable used by EDK2 code), and
therefore will not pick up the updated pointer and so will not call
our wrappers.  In most cases, this is what we want to happen: we are
interested in tracing the calls issued by the newly loaded binary and
we do not want to be distracted by the high volume of boot services
calls issued by existing UEFI drivers.

In some circumstances (such as when a badly behaved OEM driver is
causing the system to lock up during the ExitBootServices() call), it
can be very useful to be able to patch the global boot services table
in situ, so that we can trace calls issued by existing drivers.

Restructure the wrapping code to allow wrapping to be enabled or
disabled at any time, and to allow for patching the global boot
services table in situ.

37ea181d8b [efi] Ignore path separator characters in virtual filenames
The virtual filesystem that we provide to expose downloaded images
will erroneously interpret filenames with redundant path separators
such as ".\filename" as an attempt to open the directory, rather than
an attempt to open "filename".

This shows up most obviously when chainloading from one iPXE into
another iPXE, when the inner iPXE may end up attempting to open
".\autoexec.ipxe" from the outer iPXE's virtual filesystem.  (The
erroneously opened file will have a zero length and will therefore be
ignored, but is still confusing.)

Fix by discarding any dot or backslash characters after a potential
initial backslash.  This is very liberal and will accept some
syntactically invalid paths, but this is acceptable since our virtual
filesystem does not implement directories anyway.

6e4196baff [efi] Prescroll the display after a failed wrapped ExitBootServices() call

and therefore cause ExitBootServices() to fail due to an invalid
memory map key.

a failed ExitBootServices() attempt, in order to minimise the chance
that further scrolling will happen during the subsequent attempt.

ddc2d928d2 [efi] Accept and trust CA certificates in the TlsCaCertificates variable
UEFI's built-in HTTPS boot mechanism requires the trusted CA
certificates to be provided via the TlsCaCertificates variable.
(There is no equivalent of the iPXE cross-signing mechanism, so it is
not possible for UEFI to automatically use public CA certificates.)

Users who have configured UEFI HTTPS boot to use a custom root of
trust (e.g. a private CA certificate) may find it useful to have iPXE
automatically pick up and use this same root of trust, so that iPXE
can seamlessly fetch files via HTTPS from the same servers that were
trusted by UEFI HTTPS boot, in addition to servers that iPXE can
validate through other means such as cross-signed certificates.

Parse the TlsCaCertificates variable at startup, add any certificates
to the certificate store, and mark these certificates as trusted.

There are no access restrictions on modifying the TlsCaCertificates
variable: anybody with access to write UEFI variables is permitted to
change the root of trust.  The UEFI security model assumes that anyone
with access to run code prior to ExitBootServices() or with access to
modify UEFI variables from within a loaded operating system is
supposed to be able to change the system's root of trust for TLS.

Any certificates parsed from TlsCaCertificates will show up in the
output of "certstat", and may be discarded using "certfree" if
unwanted.

Support for parsing TlsCaCertificates is enabled by default in EFI
builds, but may be disabled in config/general.h if needed.

As with the ${trust} setting, the contents of the TlsCaCertificates
variable will be ignored if iPXE has been compiled with an explicit
root of trust by specifying TRUST=... on the build command line.
