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 e783adcfd4 [build] Construct driver lists for each bus type
Include the underlying bus type (e.g. "pci" or "isa") within the lists
constructed to describe the available drivers, to allow for the
possibility that platforms may want to define a platform-specific
subset of drivers to be present in the all-drivers build.  For
example, non-x86 platforms such as RISC-V SBI do not need to include
the ISA network drivers since the corresponding hardware cannot ever
be present on a RISC-V system.

Michael Brown 207c99a475 [build] Allow GITVERSION to be specified as an environment variable
When using GitHub Actions with a job container that does not have the
git tools installed, the actions/checkout step will download a
snapshot instead of performing a git clone, and will therefore not
create a .git directory.  Allow the GITVERSION variable to be
specified externally, so that the test suite logs can still display
the commit of the build being tested.

Michael Brown faa42c8503 [build] Do not use "git describe" to construct version number
Using "git describe" to automatically construct the version number has
caused more problems than it has solved.  In particular, it causes
errors when building from a shallow clone of the repository, which is
a common scenario in modern automated build environments.

Define the base version number (currently 1.21.1+) as a set of
hardcoded constants within the Makefile, to be updated whenever a
release is made.

It is extremely useful to have the git commit ID present in the
startup banner.  End users tend to provide screenshots of failures,
and having the commit ID printed at startup makes it trivial to
identify which version of the code is in use.  Identify the git
version (if building from a git tree) by directly reading from
.git/HEAD and associated files.  This allows the git commit ID to
potentially be included even if the build environment does not have
the git tools installed.

Use the default shallow clone in the GitHub Actions workflow, since we
no longer require access to the full commit history.

Michael Brown 30948987fd [build] Mark existing files as explicitly forbidden for Secure Boot
The third-party 802.11 stack and NFS protocol code are known to
include multiple potential vulnerabilities and are explicitly
forbidden from being included in Secure Boot signed builds.  This is
currently handled at the per-directory level by defining a list of
source directories (SRCDIRS_INSEC) that are to be excluded from Secure
Boot builds.

Annotate all files in these directories with FILE_SECBOOT() to convey
this information to the new per-file Secure Boot permissibility check,
and remove the old separation between SRCDIRS and SRCDIRS_INSEC.

Michael Brown 6c8fb4b89d [uart] Allow for the existence of non-16550 UARTs
Remove the assumption that all platforms use a fixed number of 16550
UARTs identifiable by a simple numeric index.  Create an abstraction
allowing for dynamic instantiation and registration of any number of
arbitrary UART models.

The common case of the serial console on x86 uses a single fixed UART
specified at compile time.  Avoid unnecessarily dragging in the
dynamic instantiation code in this use case by allowing COMCONSOLE to
refer to a single static UART object representing the relevant port.

When selecting a UART by command-line argument (as used in the
"gdbstub serial <port>" command), allow the UART to be specified as
either a numeric index (to retain backwards compatiblity) or a
case-insensitive port name such as "COM2".

Michael Brown 8fc11d8a4a [build] Allow for per-architecture cross-compilation prefixes
We currently require the variable CROSS (or CROSS_COMPILE) to be set
to specify the global cross-compilation prefix.  This becomes
cumbersome when developing across multiple CPU architectures,
requiring frequent editing of build command lines and preventing
incompatible architectures from being built with a single command.

Allow a default cross-compilation prefix for each architecture to be
specified via the CROSS_COMPILE_<arch> variables.  These may then be
provided as environment variables, e.g. using

  export CROSS_COMPILE_arm32=arm-linux-gnu-
  export CROSS_COMPILE_arm64=aarch64-linux-gnu-
  export CROSS_COMPILE_loong64=loongarch64-linux-gnu-
  export CROSS_COMPILE_riscv32=riscv64-linux-gnu-
  export CROSS_COMPILE_riscv64=riscv64-linux-gnu-

This change requires some portions of the Makefile to be rearranged,
to allow for the fact that $(CROSS_COMPILE) may not have been set
until the build directory has been parsed to determine the CPU
architecture.

Michael Brown b539e9a7e9 [build] Remove support for building with the Intel C compiler
Support for building with the Intel C compiler (icc) was added in 2009
in the expectation that UEFI support would eventually involve
compiling iPXE to EFI Byte Code.

EFI Byte Code has never found any widespread use: no widely available
compilers can emit it, Microsoft refuses to sign EFI Byte Code
binaries for UEFI Secure Boot, and I have personally never encountered
any examples of EFI Byte Code in the wild.

The support for using the Intel C compiler has not been tested in over
a decade, and would almost certainly require modification to work with
current releases of the compiler.

Simplify the build process by removing this old legacy code.

known-dubious subsystems (such as 802.11 and NFS) must be excluded

Michael Brown 6143057430 [librm] Add support for running in 64-bit long mode
Add support for running the BIOS version of iPXE in 64-bit long mode.
A 64-bit BIOS version of iPXE can be built using e.g.

  make bin-x86_64-pcbios/ipxe.usb
  make bin-x86_64-pcbios/8086100e.mrom

The 64-bit BIOS version should appear to function identically to the
normal 32-bit BIOS version.  The physical memory layout is unaltered:
iPXE is still relocated to the top of the available 32-bit address
space.  The code is linked to a virtual address of 0xffffffffeb000000
(in the negative 2GB as required by -mcmodel=kernel), with 4kB pages
created to cover the whole of .textdata.  2MB pages are created to
cover the whole of the 32-bit address space.

The 32-bit portions of the code run with VIRTUAL_CS and VIRTUAL_DS
configured such that truncating a 64-bit virtual address gives a
32-bit virtual address pointing to the same physical location.

The stack pointer remains as a physical address when running in long
mode (although the .stack section is accessible via the negative 2GB
virtual address); this is done in order to simplify the handling of
interrupts occurring while executing a portion of 32-bit code with
flat physical addressing via PHYS_CODE().

Interrupts may be enabled in either 64-bit long mode, 32-bit protected
mode with virtual addresses, 32-bit protected mode with physical
addresses, or 16-bit real mode.  Interrupts occurring in any mode
other than real mode will be reflected down to real mode and handled
by whichever ISR is hooked into the BIOS interrupt vector table.

Michael Brown 705907f9a9 [build] Allow ISA ROMs to be built
The build process has for a long time assumed that every ROM is a PCI
ROM, and will always include the PCI header and PCI-related
functionality (such as checking the PCI BIOS version, including the
PCI bus:dev.fn address within the ROM product name string, etc.).

While real ISA cards are no longer in use, some virtualisation
environments (notably VirtualBox) have support only for ISA ROMs.
This can cause problems: in particular, VirtualBox will call our
initialisation entry point with random garbage in %ax, which we then
treat as the PCI bus:dev.fn address of the autoboot device: this
generally prevents the default boot sequence from using any network
devices.

Create .isarom and .pcirom prefixes which can be used to explicitly
specify the type of ROM to be created.  (Note that the .mrom prefix
always implies a PCI ROM, since the .mrom mechanism relies on
reconfiguring PCI BARs.)

Make .rom a magic prefix which will automatically select the
appropriate PCI or ISA ROM prefix for ROMs defined via a PCI_ROM() or
ISA_ROM() macro.  To maintain backwards compatibility, we default to
building a PCI ROM for anything which is not directly derived from a
PCI_ROM() or ISA_ROM() macro (e.g. bin/intel.rom).

Add a selection of targets to "make everything" to ensure that the
(relatively obscure) ISA ROM build process is included within the
per-commit QA checks.

Michael Brown bc8ca6b8ce [crypto] Generalise X.509 cache to a full certificate store
Expand the concept of the X.509 cache to provide the functionality of
a certificate store.  Certificates in the store will be automatically
used to complete certificate chains where applicable.

The certificate store may be prepopulated at build time using the
CERT=... build command line option.  For example:

  make bin/ipxe.usb CERT=mycert1.crt,mycert2.crt

Certificates within the certificate store are not implicitly trusted;
the trust list is specified using TRUST=... as before.  For example:

  make bin/ipxe.usb CERT=root.crt TRUST=root.crt

This can be used to embed the full trusted root certificate within the
iPXE binary, which is potentially useful in an HTTPS-only environment
in which there is no HTTP server from which to automatically download
cross-signed certificates or other certificate chain fragments.

This usage of CERT= extends the existing use of CERT= to specify the
client certificate.  The client certificate is now identified
automatically by checking for a match against the private key.  For
example:

  make bin/ipxe.usb CERT=root.crt,client.crt TRUST=root.crt KEY=client.key
