[settings] Allow for setting fetchers to fail in fetchf_hex()

2008-09-26T02:39:35+00:00

[settings] Add the uristring setting type

2008-09-24T06:22:42+00:00

This allows settings to be expanded in a way that is safe to include within a URI string, such as kernel http://10.0.0.1/boot.php?mf=${manufacturer:uristring} where the ${manufacturer} setting may contain characters that are not permitted (or have reserved purposes) within a URI. Since whitespace characters will be URI-encoded (e.g. "%20" for a space character), this also works around the problem that spaces within an expanded setting would cause the shell to split command-line arguments incorrectly.

[uri] Add uri_encode() and uri_decode() functions for URI character encoding

2008-09-24T06:21:47+00:00

[comboot] Add COMBOOT and COM32 support

2008-08-28T22:52:19+00:00

[settings] Avoid overwriting the start of .text in fetch_string_setting()

2008-08-14T02:03:53+00:00

fetch_string_setting() was subtracting one from the length of the to-be-NUL-terminated buffer in order to obtain the length of the unterminated buffer to be passed to fetch_setting(). This works extremely well unless the length of the to-be-NUL-terminated buffer is zero, at which point we end up giving fetch_setting() a buffer of length -1UL, thereby inviting it to overwrite as much memory as it wants...

[iSCSI] Add support for mutual CHAP

2008-08-11T02:43:12+00:00

Allow initiator to verify target authentication using CHAP.

[cmdline] Add setting expansion using ${...} syntax

2008-07-27T00:08:20+00:00

Allow settings to be expanded in arbitrary commands, such as kernel http://10.0.0.1/boot.php?uuid=${uuid} Also add the "echo" command, as being the easiest way to test this features.

[ui] Add progress dots while waiting on any foreground job

2008-07-24T19:08:31+00:00

Print one dot per second while waiting in monojob.c (e.g. for DHCP, for file downloads, etc.), to inform user that the system has not locked up. Patch contributed by Andrew Schran , minor modification by me.

[iSCSI] Support Windows Server 2008 direct iSCSI installation

2008-07-17T16:45:17+00:00

Add yet another ugly hack to iscsiboot.c, this time to allow the user to inhibit the shutdown/removal of the iSCSI INT13 device (and the network devices, since they are required for the iSCSI device to function). On the plus side, the fact that shutdown() now takes flags to differentiate between shutdown-for-exit and shutdown-for-boot means that another ugly hack (to allow returning via the PXE stack on BIOSes that have broken INT 18 calls) will be easier. I feel dirty.

[image] Revert "clear LOADED flag" patch

2008-07-08T02:15:02+00:00

Clearing the LOADED flag actually prevents users from doing clever things such as loading an image, then loading a patch image, then executing the first image. (image_exec() checks for IMAGE_LOADED, so this sequence of operations will fail if the LOADED flag gets cleared.) This reverts commit 14c080020fb37cb34fe74213393f47bd2ad8b9bc.
