* [librm] Ensure that inline code symbols are uniqueMichael Brown2018-03-212-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 6149e0a ("[librm] Provide symbols for inline code placed into other sections") may cause build failures due to duplicate label names if the compiler chooses to duplicate inline assembly code. Fix by using the "%=" special format string to include a guaranteed-unique number within the label name. The "%=" will be expanded only if constraints exist for the inline assembly. This fix therefore requires that all REAL_CODE() fragments use a (possibly empty) constraint list. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [block] Allow use of a non-default EFI SAN boot filenameMichael Brown2017-04-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some older operating systems (e.g. RHEL6) use a non-default filename on the root disk and rely on setting an EFI variable to point to the bootloader. This does not work when performing a SAN boot on a machine where the EFI variable is not present. Fix by allowing a non-default filename to be specified via the "sanboot --filename" option or the "san-filename" setting. For example: sanboot --filename \efi\redhat\grub.efi \ iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6 or option ipxe.san-filename code 188 = string; option ipxe.san-filename "\\efi\\redhat\\grub.efi"; option root-path "iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6"; Originally-implemented-by: Vishvananda Ishaya Abrams <vish.ishaya@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [block] Describe all SAN devices via ACPI tablesMichael Brown2017-03-281-52/+65
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Describe all SAN devices via ACPI tables such as the iBFT. For tables that can describe only a single device (i.e. the aBFT and sBFT), one table is installed per device. For multi-device tables (i.e. the iBFT), all devices are described in a single table. An underlying SAN device connection may be closed at the time that we need to construct an ACPI table. We therefore introduce the concept of an "ACPI descriptor" which enables the SAN boot code to maintain an opaque pointer to the underlying object, and an "ACPI model" which can build tables from a list of such descriptors. This separates the lifecycles of ACPI descriptions from the lifecycles of the block device interfaces, and allows for construction of the ACPI tables even if the block device interface has been closed. For a multipath SAN device, iPXE will wait until sufficient information is available to describe all devices but will not wait for all paths to connect successfully. For example: with a multipath iSCSI boot iPXE will wait until at least one path has become available and name resolution has completed on all other paths. We do this since the iBFT has to include IP addresses rather than DNS names. We will commence booting without waiting for the inactive paths to either become available or close; this avoids unnecessary boot delays. Note that the Linux kernel will refuse to accept an iBFT with more than two NIC or target structures. We therefore describe only the NICs that are actually required in order to reach the described targets. Any iBFT with at most two targets is therefore guaranteed to describe at most two NICs.

* [int13con] Avoid overwriting random portions of SAN boot disksMichael Brown2017-03-271-2/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The INT13 console type (CONSOLE_INT13) autodetects at initialisation time a magic partition to be used for logging iPXE console output. If the INT13 drive number mapping is subsequently changed (e.g. because iPXE was used to perform a SAN boot), then the console logging output will be written to the incorrect disk. Fix by recording the INT13 vector at initialisation time, and using this original vector to emulate INT13 calls for all subsequent accesses. This should be robust against drive remapping performed either by ourselves or by another bootloader (e.g. a chainloaded undionly.kpxe which then performs a SAN boot).

* [int13] Improve geometry guessing for unaligned partitionsMichael Brown2017-03-261-11/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | Some partition tables have partitions that are not aligned to a cylinder boundary, which confuses the current geometry guessing logic. Enhance the existing logic to ensure that we never reduce our guesses for the number of heads or sectors per track, and add extra logic to calculate the exact number of sectors per track if we find a partition that starts within cylinder zero.

* [block] Add basic multipath supportMichael Brown2017-03-261-6/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | Add basic support for multipath block devices. The "sanboot" and "sanhook" commands now accept a list of SAN URIs. We open all URIs concurrently. The first connection to become available for issuing block device commands is marked as the active path and used for all subsequent commands; all other connections are then closed. Whenever the active path fails, we reopen all URIs and repeat the process. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [block] Centralise "san-drive" settingMichael Brown2017-03-071-28/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | The concept of the SAN drive number is meaningful only in a BIOS environment, where it represents the INT13 drive number (0x80 for the first hard disk). We retain this concept in a UEFI environment to allow for a simple way for iPXE commands to refer to SAN drives. Centralise the concept of the default drive number, since it is shared between all supported environments. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [int13] Test correct return status from INT 13 callsMichael Brown2017-01-261-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | INT 13 calls return a status value via %ah, with CF set if %ah is non-zero (indicating an error). Our wrappers zero the whole of %ax if CF is clear, to allow C code (which has no easy access to CF) to simply test for a non-zero status to detect an error. The current code assigns the returned status to a uint8_t, effectively testing %al rather than %ah. Fix by treating the returned status as a uint16_t instead.

* [int13] Avoid potential division by zeroMichael Brown2017-01-261-3/+7

* [time] Allow timer to be selected at runtimeMichael Brown2017-01-261-9/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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".) Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [rng] Check for functioning RTC interruptMichael Brown2016-07-101-0/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some platforms (observed in a small subset of Microsoft Azure (Hyper-V) virtual machines), the RTC appears to be incapable of generating an interrupt via the legacy PIC. The RTC status registers show that a periodic interrupt has been asserted, but the PIC IRR shows that IRQ8 remains inactive. On such systems, iPXE will currently freeze during the "iPXE initialising devices..." message. Work around this problem by checking that RTC interrupts are being raised before returning from rtc_entropy_enable(). If no interrupt is seen within 100ms, then we assume that the RTC interrupt mechanism is broken. In these circumstances, iPXE will continue to initialise but any subsequent attempt to generate entropy will fail. In particular, HTTPS connections will fail with an error indicating that no entropy is available. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

| | | | | | | | There seems to be no reason for the sti/cli pair used around each call to INT 10. Remove these instructions, so that printing debug messages from within an ISR does not temporarily reenable interrupts. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [int13] Allow default drive to be specified via "san-drive" settingMichael Brown2016-03-221-1/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | The DHCP option 175.189 has been defined (by us) since 2006 as containing the drive number to be used for a SAN boot, but has never been automatically used as such by iPXE. Use this option (if specified) to override the default SAN drive number. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [pcbios] Restrict external memory allocations to the low 4GBMichael Brown2016-03-081-0/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | When running the 64-bit BIOS version of iPXE, restrict external memory allocations to the low 4GB to ensure that allocations (such as for initrds) fall within our identity-mapped memory region, and will be accessible to the potentially 32-bit operating system. Move largest_memblock() back to memtop_umalloc.c, since this change imposes a restriction that applies only to BIOS builds. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [bios] Make uses of REAL_CODE() and PHYS_CODE() 64-bit cleanMichael Brown2016-02-183-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a 64-bit CPU, any modification of a register by 32-bit or 16-bit code will destroy the invisible upper 32 bits of the corresponding 64-bit register. For example: a 32-bit "pushl %eax" followed by a "popl %eax" will zero the upper half of %rax. This differs from the treatment of upper halves of 32-bit registers by 16-bit code: a "pushw %ax" followed by a "popw %ax" will leave the upper 16 bits of %eax unmodified. Inline assembly generated using REAL_CODE() or PHYS_CODE() will therefore have to preserve the upper halves of all registers, to avoid clobbering registers that gcc expects to be preserved. Output operands from REAL_CODE() and PHYS_CODE() assembly may therefore contain undefined values in the upper 32 bits. Fix by using explicit variable widths (e.g. uint32_t) for non-discarded output operands, to ensure that undefined values in the upper 32 bits of 64-bit registers are ignored.

* [bios] Add bin-x86_64-pcbios build platformMichael Brown2016-02-1620-0/+5891
Move most arch/i386 files to arch/x86, and adjust the contents of the Makefiles and the include/bits/*.h headers to reflect the new locations. This patch makes no substantive code changes, as can be seen using a rename-aware diff (e.g. "git show -M5"). This patch does not make the pcbios platform functional for x86_64; it merely allows it to compile without errors. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
