The only remaining use case in iPXE for the CPU direction flag is in
__memcpy_reverse() where it is set to allow the use of "rep movsb" to
perform the memory copy. This matches the equivalent functionality in
the EDK2 codebase, which has functions such as InternalMemCopyMem that
also temporarily set the direction flag in order to use "rep movsb".
As noted in commit d2fb317 ("[crypto] Avoid temporarily setting
direction flag in bigint_is_geq()"), some UEFI implementations are
known to have buggy interrupt handlers that may reboot the machine if
a timer interrupt happens to occur while the direction flag is set.
Work around these buggy UEFI implementations by using the
(unoptimised) generic_memcpy_reverse() on i386 or x86_64 UEFI
platforms.

Disable the use of MD5 as an OID-identifiable algorithm. Note that
the MD5 algorithm implementation will still be present in the build,
since it is used implicitly by various cryptographic components such
as HTTP digest authentication; this commit removes it only from the
list of OID-identifiable algorithms.
It would be appropriate to similarly disable the use of SHA-1 by
default, but doing so would break the use of OCSP since several OCSP
responders (including the current version of openca-ocspd) are not
capable of interpreting the hashAlgorithm field and so will fail if
the client uses any algorithm other than the configured default.

There are many ways in which the object for a cryptographic algorithm
may be included, even if not explicitly enabled in config/crypto.h.
For example: the MD5 algorithm is required by TLSv1.1 or earlier, by
iSCSI CHAP authentication, by HTTP digest authentication, and by NTLM
authentication.
In the current implementation, inclusion of an algorithm for any
reason will result in the algorithm's ASN.1 object identifier being
included in the "asn1_algorithms" table, which consequently allows the
algorithm to be used for any ASN1-identified purpose. For example: if
the MD5 algorithm is included in order to support HTTP digest
authentication, then iPXE would accept a (validly signed) TLS
certificate using an MD5 digest.
Split the ASN.1 object identifiers into separate files that are
required only if explicitly enabled in config/crypto.h. This allows
an algorithm to be omitted from the "asn1_algorithms" table even if
the algorithm implementation is dragged in for some other purpose.
The end result is that only the algorithms that are explicitly enabled
in config/crypto.h can be used for ASN1-identified purposes such as
signature verification.

The Raspberry Pi NIC has no EEPROM to hold the MAC address. The
platform firmware (e.g. UEFI or U-Boot) will typically obtain the MAC
address from the VideoCore firmware and add it to the device tree,
which is then made available to subsequent programs such as iPXE or
the Linux kernel.
Add the ability to parse a flattened device tree and to extract the
MAC address.

Allow values to be read from ACPI tables using the syntax
${acpi/<signature>.<index>.0.<offset>.<length>}
where <signature> is the ACPI table signature as a 32-bit hexadecimal
number (e.g. 0x41504093 for the 'APIC' signature on the MADT), <index>
is the index into the array of tables matching this signature,
<offset> is the byte offset within the table, and <length> is the
field length in bytes.
Numeric values are returned in reverse byte order, since ACPI numeric
values are usually little-endian.
For example:
${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0.0} - entire MADT table in raw hex
${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0x0a.6:string} - MADT table OEM ID
${acpi/0x41504943.0.0.0x24.4:uint32} - local APIC address

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".)

For some unspecified "security" reason, the Google Compute Engine
metadata server will refuse any requests that do not include the
non-standard HTTP header "Metadata-Flavor: Google".
Attempt to autodetect such requests (by comparing the hostname against

Enable this feature in the CONFIG=cloud build, and include a sample
embedded script allowing iPXE to boot from a script configured as

# Create shared boot image
make bin/ipxe.usb CONFIG=cloud EMBED=config/cloud/gce.ipxe
# Configure per-instance boot script

Commit 71560d1 ("[librm] Preserve FPU, MMX and SSE state across calls
to virt_call()") added FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions to iPXE. In
KVM virtual machines, these instructions execute fine as long as the
host CPU supports the "unrestricted_guest" feature (that is, it can
virtualize big real mode natively). On older host CPUs however, KVM
has to emulate big real mode, and it currently doesn't implement
FXSAVE emulation.
Upstream QEMU rebuilt iPXE at commit 0418631 ("[thunderx] Fix
compilation with older versions of gcc") which is a descendant of
commit 71560d1 (see above).
This was done in QEMU commit ffdc5a2 ("ipxe: update submodule from
4e03af8ec to 041863191"). The resultant binaries were bundled with
the QEMU v2.7.0 release; see QEMU commit c52125a ("ipxe: update
prebuilt binaries").
This distributed the iPXE workaround for the Tivoli VMM bug to a
number of KVM users with old host CPUs, causing KVM emulation failures
(guest crashes) for them while netbooting.
Make the FXSAVE and FXRSTOR instructions conditional on a new feature
test macro called TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND. Define the macro by default.
There is prior art for an assembly file including config/general.h:
see arch/x86/prefix/romprefix.S. Also, TIVOLI_VMM_WORKAROUND seems to
be a good fit for the "Obscure configuration options" section in
config/general.h.

Provide access to local files via the "file://" URI scheme. There are
three syntaxes:
- An opaque URI with a relative path (e.g. "file:script.ipxe").
This will be interpreted as a path relative to the iPXE binary.
- A hierarchical URI with a non-network absolute path
(e.g. "file:/boot/script.ipxe"). This will be interpreted as a
path relative to the root of the filesystem from which the iPXE
binary was loaded.
- A hierarchical URI with a network path in which the authority is a
volume label (e.g. "file://bootdisk/script.ipxe"). This will be
interpreted as a path relative to the root of the filesystem with
the specified volume label.
Note that the potentially desirable shell mappings (e.g. "fs0:" and
"blk0:") are concepts internal to the UEFI shell binary, and do not
seem to be exposed in any way to external executables. The old
EFI_SHELL_PROTOCOL (which did provide access to these mappings) is no
longer installed by current versions of the UEFI shell.

Add a named CONFIG=cloud configuration, which enables console types
useful for obtaining output from virtual machines in public clouds
such as AWS EC2.
An image suitable for use in AWS EC2 can be built using
make bin/ipxe.usb CONFIG=cloud EMBED=config/cloud/aws.ipxe
The embedded script will direct iPXE to download and execute the EC2
"user-data" file, which is always available to an EC2 VM via the URI
http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data (regardless of the VPC
networking settings). The boot can therefore be controlled by
modifying the per-instance user data, without having to modify the
boot disk image.
Console output can be obtained via syslog (with a syslog server
configured in the user-data script), via the AWS "System Log" (after
the instance has been stopped), or as a last resort from the log
partition on the boot disk.

Allow iPXE to coexist with other USB device drivers, by attaching to
the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL instances provided by the UEFI platform
firmware.
The EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL is an unsurprisingly badly designed
abstraction of a USB device. The poor design choices intrinsic in the
UEFI specification prevent efficient operation as a network device,
with the result that devices operated using the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL
operate approximately two orders of magnitude slower than devices
operated using our native EHCI or xHCI host controller drivers.
Since the performance is so abysmally slow, and since the underlying
problems are due to fundamental architectural mistakes in the UEFI
specification, support for the EFI_USB_IO_PROTOCOL host controller
driver is left as disabled by default. Users are advised to use the
native iPXE host controller drivers instead.

Rewrite the HTTP core to allow for the addition of arbitrary content
encoding mechanisms, such as PeerDist and gzip.
The core now exposes http_open() which can be used to create requests
with an explicitly selected HTTP method, an optional requested content
range, and an optional request body. A simple wrapper provides the
preexisting behaviour of creating either a GET request or an
application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST request (if the URI includes
parameters).
The HTTP SAN interface is now implemented using the generic block
device translator. Individual blocks are requested using http_open()
to create a range request.
Server connections are now managed via a connection pool; this allows
for multiple requests to the same server (e.g. for SAN blocks) to be
completely unaware of each other. Repeated HTTPS connections to the
same server can reuse a pooled connection, avoiding the per-connection
overhead of establishing a TLS session (which can take several seconds
if using a client certificate).
Support for HTTP SAN booting and for the Basic and Digest
authentication schemes is now optional and can be controlled via the
SANBOOT_PROTO_HTTP, HTTP_AUTH_BASIC, and HTTP_AUTH_DIGEST build
configuration options in config/general.h.
