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.

7c82ff0b6b [pci] Separate permission to probe buses from bus:dev.fn range discovery
The UEFI device model requires us to not probe the PCI bus directly,
but instead to wait to be offered the opportunity to drive devices via
our driver service binding handle.

We currently inhibit PCI bus probing by having pci_discover() return
an empty range when using the EFI PCI I/O API.  This has the unwanted
side effect that scanning the bus manually using the "pciscan" command
will also fail to discover any devices.

Separate out the concept of being allowed to probe PCI buses from the
mechanism for discovering PCI bus:dev.fn address ranges, so that this
limitation may be removed.

9f17d1116d [rng] Allow entropy source to be selected at runtime
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.

ff228f745c [pci] Generalise pci_num_bus() to pci_discover()
Allow pci_find_next() to discover devices beyond the first PCI
segment, by generalising pci_num_bus() (which implicitly assumes that
there is only a single PCI segment) with pci_discover() (which has the

address space).

7c8fc2cae8 [linux] Fail at link time if building slirp.linux without libslirp
The iPXE build system is constructed for a standalone codebase with no
external dependencies, and does not have any equivalent of the
standard userspace ./configure script.  We currently check for the
ability to include slirp/libslirp.h and conditionalise portions of
linux_api.c on its presence.  The actual slirp driver code is built
unconditionally, as with all iPXE drivers.

This currently leads to a silent runtime failure if attempting to use
slirp.linux built on a system that was missing slirp/libslirp.h.

Convert this to a link-time failure by deliberately omitting the
relevant symbols from linux_api.c when slirp/libslirp.h is not
present.  This allows other builds (e.g. tap.linux or tests.linux) to
succeed: the link-time failure will occur only if the slirp driver is
included within the build target.

1c4917b6a7 [linux] Validate length of ACPI table read from sysfs
Consumers of acpi_find() will assume that returned structures include
a valid table header and that the length in the table header is
correct.  These assumptions are necessary when dealing with raw ACPI
tables, since there exists no independent source of length
information.

Ensure that these assumptions are also valid for ACPI tables read from
sysfs.

69ecab2634 [linux] Use fstat() rather than statx()
The statx() system call has a clean header file and a consistent
layout, but was unfortunately added only in kernel 4.11.

Using stat() or fstat() directly is extremely messy since glibc does
not necessarily use the kernel native data structures.  However, as
the only current use case is to obtain the length of an open file, we
can merely provide a wrapper that does precisely this.

2b5d3f582f [slirp] Add libslirp driver for Linux
Add a driver using libslirp to provide a virtual network interface
without requiring root permissions on the host.  This simplifies the
process of running iPXE as a Linux userspace application with network
access.  For example:

  make bin-x86_64-linux/slirp.linux
  ./bin-x86_64-linux/slirp.linux --net slirp

libslirp will provide a built-in emulated DHCP server and NAT router.
Settings such as the boot filename may be controlled via command-line
options.  For example:

  ./bin-x86_64-linux/slirp.linux \
      --net slirp,filename=http://192.168.0.1/boot.ipxe

f309d7a7b7 [linux] Use host glibc system call wrappers
When building as a Linux userspace application, iPXE currently
implements its own system calls to the host kernel rather than relying
on the host's C library.  The output binary is statically linked and
has no external dependencies.

This matches the general philosophy of other platforms on which iPXE
runs, since there are no external libraries available on either BIOS
or UEFI bare metal.  However, it would be useful for the Linux
userspace application to be able to link against host libraries such
as libslirp.

Modify the build process to perform a two-stage link: first picking
out the requested objects in the usual way from blib.a but with
relocations left present, then linking again with a helper object to
create a standard hosted application.  The helper object provides the
standard main() entry point and wrappers for the Linux system calls
required by the iPXE Linux drivers and interface code.

302f1eeb80 [time] Allow timer to be selected at runtime
Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
initialisation.

TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate.  We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.

TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely.  The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).

TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a
usable timer.  (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line
option "-cpu host,+invtsc".)

08f9170ba4 [linux] Avoid starting currticks() from zero every time
iPXE uses currticks() (along with the MAC address(es) of any network
devices) to seed the (non-cryptographic) random number generator.  The
current implementation of linux_currticks() ensures that the first
call to currticks() will always return zero; this results in identical
random number sequences on each run of iPXE on a given machine.  This
can cause odd-looking behaviour due to e.g. the reuse of local TCP
port numbers.

Fix by effectively rounding down the start time recorded by
linux_currticks() to the nearest whole second; this makes it unlikely
that consecutive runs of iPXE will use the exact same RNG sequence.

(Note that none of this affects the cryptographic RNG, which uses
/dev/random as a source of entropy.)

  #define CONSOLE_PCBIOS ( CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL & ~CONSOLE_USAGE_DEBUG )

If no usages are explicitly specified, then a default set of usages
will be applied.  For example:

  #define CONSOLE_SERIAL

will have the same affect as

  #define CONSOLE_SERIAL CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL

addresses also being the same is wrong, but there is no general way of
