Mark all files used in a standard build of bin-x86_64-efi/snponly.efi
as permitted for UEFI Secure Boot. These files represent the core
functionality of iPXE that is guaranteed to have been included in
every binary that was previously subject to a security review and
signed by Microsoft. It is therefore legitimate to assume that at
least these files have already been reviewed to the required standard
multiple times.

Add support for recording LLDP packets and exposing TLV values via the
settings mechanism. LLDP settings are encoded as
${netX.lldp/<prefix>.<type>.<index>.<offset>.<length>}
where
<type> is the TLV type
<offset> is the starting offset within the TLV value
<length> is the length (or zero to read the from <offset> to the end)
<prefix>, if it has a non-zero value, is the subtype byte string of
length <offset> to match at the start of the TLV value, up to a
maximum matched length of 4 bytes
<index> is the index of the entry matching <type> and <prefix> to be
accessed, with zero indicating the first matching entry
The <prefix> is designed to accommodate both matching of the OUI
within an organization-specific TLV (e.g. 0x0080c2 for IEEE 802.1
TLVs) and of a subtype byte as found within many TLVs.
This encoding allows most LLDP values to be extracted easily. For
example
System name: ${netX.lldp/5.0.0.0:string}
System description: ${netX.lldp/6.0.0.0:string}
Port description: ${netX.lldp/4.0.0.0:string}
Port interface name: ${netX.lldp/5.2.0.1.0:string}
Chassis MAC address: ${netX.lldp/4.1.0.1.0:hex}
Management IPv4 address: ${netX.lldp/5.1.8.0.2.4:ipv4}
Port VLAN ID: ${netX.lldp/0x0080c2.1.127.0.4.2:int16}
Port VLAN name: ${netX.lldp/0x0080c2.3.127.0.7.0:string}
Maximum frame size: ${netX.lldp/0x00120f.4.127.0.4.2:uint16}

A switch port using 802.1x authentication will send EAP
Request-Identity packets once the physical link is up, and will not be
forwarding packets until the port identity has been established.
We do not currently support 802.1x authentication. However, a
reasonably common configuration involves using a preset list of
permitted MAC addresses, with the "authentication" taking place
between the switch and a RADIUS server. In this configuration, the
end device does not need to perform any authentication step, but does
need to be prepared for the switch port to fail to forward packets for
a substantial time after physical link-up. This exactly matches the
"blocked link" semantics already used when detecting a non-forwarding
switch port via LACP or STP.
Treat a received EAP Request-Identity as indicating a blocked link.
Unlike LACP or STP, there is no way to determine the expected time
until the next EAP packet and so we must choose a fixed timeout.
Erroneously assuming that the link is blocked is relatively harmless
since we will still attempt to transmit and receive data even over a
link that is marked as blocked, and so the net effect is merely to
prolong DHCP attempts. In contrast, erroneously assuming that the
link is unblocked will potentially cause DHCP to time out and give up,
resulting in a failed boot.
The default EAP Request-Identity interval in Cisco switches (where
this is most likely to be encountered in practice) is 30 seconds, so
choose 45 seconds as a timeout that is likely to avoid gaps during
which we falsely assume that the link is unblocked.

A fairly common end-user problem is that the default configuration of
a switch may leave the port in a non-forwarding state for a
substantial length of time (tens of seconds) after link up. This can
cause iPXE to time out and give up attempting to boot.
We cannot force the switch to start forwarding packets sooner, since
any attempt to send a Spanning Tree Protocol bridge PDU may cause the
switch to disable our port (if the switch happens to have the Bridge
PDU Guard feature enabled for the port).
For non-ancient versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol, we can detect
whether or not the port is currently forwarding and use this to inform
the network device core that the link is currently blocked.

At some point in the past few years, binutils became more aggressive
at removing unused symbols. To function as a symbol requirement, a
relocation record must now be in a section marked with @progbits and
must not be in a section which gets discarded during the link (either
via --gc-sections or via /DISCARD/).
Update REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to generate relocation records meeting these
criteria. To minimise the impact upon the final binary size, we use
existing symbols (specified via the REQUIRING_SYMBOL() macro) as the
relocation targets where possible. We use R_386_NONE or R_X86_64_NONE
relocation types to prevent any actual unwanted relocation taking
place. Where no suitable symbol exists for REQUIRING_SYMBOL() (such
as in config.c), the macro PROVIDE_REQUIRING_SYMBOL() can be used to
generate a one-byte-long symbol to act as the relocation target.
If there are versions of binutils for which this approach fails, then
the fallback will probably involve killing off REQUEST_SYMBOL(),
redefining REQUIRE_SYMBOL() to use the current definition of
REQUEST_SYMBOL(), and postprocessing the linked ELF file with
something along the lines of "nm -u | wc -l" to check that there are
no undefined symbols remaining.

The block device interface used in gPXE predates the invention of even
the old gPXE data-transfer interface, let alone the current iPXE
generic asynchronous interface mechanism. Bring this old code up to
date, with the following benefits:
o Block device commands can be cancelled by the requestor. The INT 13
layer uses this to provide a global timeout on all INT 13 calls,
with the result that an unexpected passive failure mode (such as
an iSCSI target ACKing the request but never sending a response)
will lead to a timeout that gets reported back to the INT 13 user,
rather than simply freezing the system.
o INT 13,00 (reset drive) is now able to reset the underlying block
device. INT 13 users, such as DOS, that use INT 13,00 as a method
for error recovery now have a chance of recovering.
o All block device commands are tagged, with a numerical tag that
will show up in debugging output and in packet captures; this will
allow easier interpretation of bug reports that include both
sources of information.
o The extremely ugly hacks used to generate the boot firmware tables
have been eradicated and replaced with a generic acpi_describe()
method (exploiting the ability of iPXE interfaces to pass through
methods to an underlying interface). The ACPI tables are now
built in a shared data block within .bss16, rather than each
requiring dedicated space in .data16.
o The architecture-independent concept of a SAN device has been
exposed to the iPXE core through the sanboot API, which provides
calls to hook, unhook, boot, and describe SAN devices. This
allows for much more flexible usage patterns (such as hooking an
empty SAN device and then running an OS installer via TFTP).
