* [build] Mark known reviewed files as permitted for UEFI Secure BootMichael Brown2026-01-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | Some past security reviews carried out for UEFI Secure Boot signing submissions have covered specific drivers or functional areas of iPXE. Mark all of the files comprising these areas as permitted for UEFI Secure Boot. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [xen] Support scatter-gather to allow for jumbo framesMichael Brown2021-04-141-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The use of jumbo frames for the Xen netfront virtual NIC requires the use of scatter-gather ("feature-sg"), with the receive descriptor ring becoming a list of page-sized buffers and the backend using as many page buffers as required for each packet. Since iPXE's abstraction of an I/O buffer does not include any sort of scatter-gather list, this requires an extra allocation and copy on the receive datapath for any packet that spans more than a single page. This support is required in order to successfully boot an AWS EC2 virtual machine (with non-enhanced networking) via iSCSI if jumbo frames are enabled, since the netback driver used in EC2 seems not to allow "feature-sg" to be renegotiated once the Linux kernel driver takes over.

* [xen] Use version 1 grant tables by defaultMichael Brown2014-08-131-9/+139
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using version 1 grant tables limits guests to using 16TB of grantable RAM, and prevents the use of subpage grants. Some versions of the Xen hypervisor refuse to allow the grant table version to be set after the first grant references have been created, so the loaded operating system may be stuck with whatever choice we make here. We therefore currently use version 2 grant tables, since they give the most flexibility to the loaded OS. Current versions (7.2.0) of the Windows PV drivers have no support for version 2 grant tables, and will merrily create version 1 entries in what the hypervisor believes to be a version 2 table. This causes some confusion. Avoid this problem by attempting to use version 1 tables, since otherwise we may render Windows unable to boot. Play nicely with other potential bootloaders by accepting either version 1 or version 2 grant tables (if we are unable to set our requested version). Note that the use of version 1 tables on a 64-bit system introduces a possible failure path in which a frame number cannot fit into the 32-bit field within the v1 structure. This in turn introduces additional failure paths into netfront_transmit() and netfront_refill_rx(). Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [xen] Add basic support for PV-HVM domainsMichael Brown2014-07-291-0/+102
Add basic support for Xen PV-HVM domains (detected via the Xen platform PCI device with IDs 5853:0001), including support for accessing configuration via XenStore and enumerating devices via XenBus. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
