* [build] Mark core files as permitted for UEFI Secure BootMichael Brown2026-01-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [neighbour] Always use network device's own link-layer addressMichael Brown2026-01-051-4/+2Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The API for neighbour_tx() allows for an explicit source link-layer address, but this will be ignored if the packet is deferred for transmission after completion of neighbour discovery. The network device's own link-layer address will always be used when sending neighbour discovery packets, and when sending any deferred packets after discovery completes. All callers pass in the network device's own link-layer address as the source address anyway, and so this explicit source link-layer address is never used for any meaningful purpose. Simplify the neighbour_tx() API by removing the ability to pass in an explicit source link-layer address. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [ipoib] Attempt to generate ARPs as needed to repopulate REMAC cacheMichael Brown2015-06-291-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only way to map an eIPoIB MAC address (REMAC) to an IPoIB MAC address is to intercept an incoming ARP request or reply. If we do not have an REMAC cache entry for a particular destination MAC address, then we cannot transmit the packet. This can arise in at least two situations: - An external program (e.g. a PXE NBP using the UNDI API) may attempt to transmit to a destination MAC address that has been obtained by some method other than ARP. - Memory pressure may have caused REMAC cache entries to be discarded. This is fairly likely on a busy network, since REMAC cache entries are created for all received (broadcast) ARP requests. (We can't sensibly avoid creating these cache entries, since they are required in order to send an ARP reply, and when we are being used via the UNDI API we may have no knowledge of which IP addresses are "ours".) Attempt to ameliorate the situation by generating a semi-spurious ARP request whenever we find a missing REMAC cache entry. This will hopefully trigger an ARP reply, which would then provide us with the information required to populate the REMAC cache. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [legal] Relicense files under GPL2_OR_LATER_OR_UBDLMichael Brown2015-03-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | 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).

* [neighbour] Generalise concept of neighbour discoveryMichael Brown2013-09-031-3/+21
| | | | | | | | Split the protocol-independent portions of arp.c into a separate file neighbour.c, to allow for sharing of functionality between IPv4+ARP and IPv6+NDP. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [arp] Maintain an ARP transmission queueMichael Brown2012-03-031-5/+3Star
| | | | | | | | Allow packet transmission to be deferred pending successful ARP resolution. This avoids the time spent waiting for a higher-level protocol (e.g. TCP or TFTP) to attempt retransmission. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [build] Fix misaligned table entries when using gcc 4.5Piotr Jaroszyński2010-08-201-4/+2Star
| | | | | | | | | | Declarations without the accompanying __table_entry cause misalignment of the table entries when using gcc 4.5. Fix by adding the appropriate __table_entry macro or (where possible) by removing unnecessary forward declarations.

* [build] Rename gPXE to iPXEMichael Brown2010-04-201-0/+46
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.
