* [efi] Hold off watchdog timer while runningMichael Brown2015-08-031-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UEFI platforms may provide a watchdog timer, which will reboot the machine if an operating system takes more than five minutes to load. This can cause long-lived iPXE downloads (or interactive shell sessions) to unexpectedly reboot. Fix by resetting the watchdog timer every ten seconds while the iPXE main processing loop continues to run.

* [efi] Default to releasing network devices for use via SNPMichael Brown2014-07-301-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently treat network devices as available for use via the SNP API only if RX queue processing has been frozen. (This is similar in spirit to the way that RX queue processing is frozen for the network device currently exposed via the PXE API.) The default state of a freshly created network device is for the RX queue to not be frozen, and thus to be unavailable for use via SNP. This causes problems when devices are added through code paths other than _efidrv_start() (which explicitly releases devices for use via SNP). We don't actually need to freeze RX queue processing, since calls via the SNP API will always use netdev_poll() rather than net_poll(), and so will never trigger the RX queue processing code path anyway. We can therefore simplify the code to use a single global flag to indicate whether network devices are claimed for use by iPXE or available for use via SNP. Using a global flag allows the default state for dynamically created network devices to behave sensibly. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [efi] Restructure EFI driver modelMichael Brown2014-06-251-0/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide a single instance of EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL (attached to our image handle); this matches the expectations scattered throughout the EFI specification. Open the underlying hardware device using EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER and EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_EXCLUSIVE, to prevent other drivers from attaching to the same device. Do not automatically connect to devices when being loaded as a driver; leave this task to the platform firmware (or to the user, if loading directly from the EFI shell). When running as an application, forcibly disconnect any existing drivers from devices that we want to control, and reconnect them on exit. Provide a meaningful driver version number (based on the build timestamp), to allow platform firmware to automatically load newer versions of iPXE drivers if multiple drivers are present. Include device paths within debug messages where possible, to aid in debugging. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [efi] Avoid accidentally calling main() twiceMichael Brown2014-03-141-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | EFIRC() uses PLATFORM_TO_ERRNO(), which evaluates its argument twice (and can't trivially use a braced-group expression or an inline function to avoid this, since it gets used outside of function context). The expression "EFIRC(main())" will therefore end up calling main() twice, which is not the intended behaviour. Every other instance of EFIRC() is of the simple form "EFIRC(rc)", so fix by converting this instance to match. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [efi] Perform meaningful error code conversionsMichael Brown2013-04-191-1/+2
| | | | | | | | Exploit the redefinition of iPXE error codes to include a "platform error code" to allow for meaningful conversion of EFI_STATUS values to iPXE errors and vice versa. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>

* [efi] Fix .efi and .efidrv linkingPiotr Jaroszyński2010-05-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The linker chooses to look for _start first and always picks efidrvprefix.o to satisfy it (probably because it's earlier in the archive) which causes a multiple definition error when the linker later has to pick efiprefix.o for other symbols. Fix by using EFI-specific TGT_LD_FLAGS with an explicit entry point.

* [build] Rename gPXE to iPXEMichael Brown2010-04-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Access to the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains and associated resources has been revoked by the registrant of the domain. Work around this problem by renaming project from gPXE to iPXE, and updating URLs to match. Also update README, LOG and COPYRIGHTS to remove obsolete information.

* [legal] Add a selection of FILE_LICENCE declarationsMichael Brown2009-05-181-0/+2
| | | | | Add FILE_LICENCE declarations to almost all files that make up the various standard builds of gPXE.
* [efi] Use elf2efi utility in place of efilinkMichael Brown2009-01-071-0/+39
elf2efi converts a suitable ELF executable (containing relocation information, and with appropriate virtual addresses) into an EFI executable. It is less tightly coupled with the gPXE build process and, in particular, does not require the use of a hand-crafted PE image header in efiprefix.S. elf2efi correctly handles .bss sections, which significantly reduces the size of the gPXE EFI executable.
