[prefix] Make unlzma.S compatible with 386 class CPUs

2026-01-25T16:15:32+00:00

Replace the bswap instruction with xchgb and roll and change the module architecture from i486 to i386 to be consistent with the rest of the project. Modified-by: Michael Brown Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[ci] Use prebuilt containers to build and test iPXE

2026-01-25T15:52:16+00:00

Use the prebuilt containers from https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe-builder to build BIOS, SBI, UEFI, and Linux userspace versions of iPXE for all supported CPU architectures, and to run the Linux userspace test suite (via valgrind or qemu as applicable). This reduces the time taken for GitHub CI runs by around 80%, while increasing the build coverage to include RISC-V SBI, RISC-V UEFI, and LoongArch64 UEFI, and increasing the test coverage to include running the Linux userspace test suite on all supported CPU architectures.

[build] Allow GITVERSION to be specified as an environment variable

2026-01-25T11:27:14+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[build] Do not use "git log" to construct build timestamp

2026-01-21T23:26:23+00:00

Using "git log" to automatically construct the build timestamp is of minimal value. Reproducible builds should be using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH anyway, and for ad hoc builds it is arguable that the time at which the build was performed is more relevant than the commit timestamp. (For example, the user may be trying to deliberately use an older version of iPXE in order to track down a regression via bisection.) Remove the use of "git log", and thereby remove any requirement for the git tools to be available at the point of building iPXE. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[build] Do not use "git describe" to construct version number

2026-01-21T22:44:13+00:00

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. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[build] Allow for per-architecture sysroots

2026-01-21T12:57:18+00:00

As done for CROSS_COMPILE in commit 8fc11d8 ("[build] Allow for per-architecture cross-compilation prefixes"), allow a default sysroot for each architecture to be specified via the SYSROOT_ variables. These may then be provided as environment variables, e.g. using export SYSROOT_riscv32=/usr/riscv32-linux-gnu/sys-root This is particularly useful for architectures such as RISC-V where the 64-bit compiler is also used to build 32-bit binaries, since in those cases the compiler will default to using the 64-bit sysroot.

[build] Extend default configuration for non-BIOS builds

2026-01-16T22:42:37+00:00

The current usage model for iPXE is that the default configuration is relatively minimal to reduce code size, with users encouraged to build from source if necessary to enable additional features. This approach is somewhat incompatible with the Secure Boot model, which by design makes it prohibitively difficult for users to use their own compiled binaries. For published Secure Boot signed binaries to be useful, they will have to already include all features that the majority of users will need. Extend the default configuration for EFI (and other non-BIOS platforms) to include HTTPS support, framebuffer support, and a selection of commands and features that are reasonably expected to be used by large numbers of users. The default configuration for BIOS platforms is deliberately left unchanged, since BIOS binaries are typically subject to severe size constraints. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown
