[test] Allow self-tests to report exit status when running under Linux

2015-08-21T14:46:28+00:00

Allow the return status from an embedded image to propagate out to the eventual return status from main(). When running under Linux, this allows the pass/fail result of unit tests to be observable without having to visually inspect the console output. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[legal] Relicense files under GPL2_OR_LATER_OR_UBDL

2015-03-02T16:35:29+00:00

These files cannot be automatically relicensed by util/relicense.pl since they either contain unusual but trivial contributions (such as the addition of __nonnull function attributes), or contain lines dating back to the initial git revision (and so require manual knowledge of the code's origin).

[build] Expose build timestamp, build name, and product names

2014-06-24T14:32:35+00:00

Expose the build timestamp (measured in seconds since the Epoch) and the build name (e.g. "rtl8139.rom" or "ipxe.efi"), and provide the product name and product short name in a single centralised location. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[main] Defer "initialising devices" message until initialising devices

2013-11-27T11:27:50+00:00

Allow the "initialising devices" message to show up on consoles which require initialisation, by deferring it until after initialise() has completed. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[autoboot] Avoid excess backspacing after displaying Ctrl-B prompt

2012-10-23T21:07:50+00:00

Remove the newline from the "Press Ctrl-B..." prompt string, so that prompt() does not attempt to backspace beyond the start of the line. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown

[main] Add the "scriptlet" setting

2011-03-28T17:50:27+00:00

A scriptlet is a single iPXE command that can be stored in non-volatile option storage and used to override the default "autoboot" behaviour without having to reflash the iPXE image. For example, a scriptlet could contain autoboot || reboot to instruct iPXE to reboot the system if booting fails. Unlike an embedded image, the presence of a scriptlet does not inhibit the initial "Press Ctrl-B..." prompt. This allows the user to recover from setting a faulty scriptlet.
