Continuing the tradition of being stingy with neighbor table entries.
ICMP echo requests are common stray traffic in some environments and
stray responses are not actually a good indicator of what those

Commit 8290a95 ("[build] Expose build timestamp, build name, and
product names") introduced a regression in the build process which
resulted in broken final binaries which had names based on object
files (e.g. "undionly.kpxe" or "intel.rom") rather than on device IDs
(e.g. "8086100e.mrom").
The underlying problem is the -DOBJECT=<name> macro which is used to
generate the obj_<name> symbols used to select objects required for
the final binary. The macro definition is derived from the initial
portion (up to the first dot) of the object being built. In the case
of e.g. undionly.kpxe.version.o, this gives -DOBJECT=undionly. This
results in undionly.kpxe.version.o claiming to be the "undionly"
object; the real "undionly" object will therefore never get dragged in
to the build.
Fix by renaming $(BIN)/%.version.o to $(BIN)/version.%.o, so that the
object is always built with -DOBJECT=version (as might be expected,
since it is built from core/version.c).
Final binaries which have names based on device IDs (such as
"8086100e.mrom") are not affected by this problem, since the object
name "8086100e" will not conflict with that of the underlying "intel"
object.
This problem was not detected by the per-commit smoke testing
procedure, which happens to use the binary bin/8086100e.mrom.

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

When multiple iPXE binaries are running concurrently (e.g. in the case

The iBFT includes an "origin" field to indicate the source of the IP
address. We use the heuristic of assuming that the source should be
"manual" if the IP address originates directly from the network device
settings block, and "DHCP" otherwise. This is an imperfect guess, but
is likely to be correct in most common situations.

iPXE currently calls cpu_nap() while performing DHCP, in order to
reduce CPU utilisation on virtual machines. Under mild broadcast load
(~100 packets per second), this can cause received packets to be
dropped because the receive descriptor ring is overrun before the next
18Hz timer interrupt wakes up the CPU. The result is that DHCP is
likely to intermittently fail on networks with appreciable amounts of
broadcast (or multicast) traffic.
This behaviour was introduced in the series of commits which
generalised the "dhcp" command to the "ifconf" command. The earlier
code (which did not handle IPv6 configuration) had no call to
cpu_nap() and so did not suffer from this problem.
Fix by removing the call to cpu_nap() in ifpoller_progress(). This
has the undesirable side effect that CPU utilisation will remain at
100% while waiting for DHCP to complete (which can take several
seconds, if we have to wait around for potential ProxyDHCP offers to
arrive).

Some external code (observed with FreeBSD's bootloader) will continue
to make INT 13 calls after reconfiguring the 8259 PIC to change the
vector offsets for IRQs. If an IRQ (e.g. the timer IRQ) subsequently
occurs while iPXE is in protected mode, this will cause a general
protection fault since the corresponding IDT entry is empty.
A general protection fault is INT 0x0d, which happens to overlap with
the original IRQ5. We therefore do have an ISR set up to handle a
general protection fault, but this ISR simply reflects the interrupt
down to the real-mode INT 0x0d and then attempts to return. Since our
ISR is expecting a hardware interrupt rather than a general protection
fault, it doesn't remove the error code from the stack before issuing
the iret instruction; it therefore attempts to return to a garbage
address. Since the segment part of this address is likely to be
invalid, a second general protection fault occurs. This cycle
continues until we run out of stack space and triple fault.
Fix by reflecting all INTs down to real mode. This actually reduces
the code size by four bytes (but increases the bss size by almost
2kB).

If ipv6_tx() is called with a non-NULL network device, a NULL or
unspecified source address, and a destination address which does not

As of commit d28bb51 ("[tcp] Defer sending ACKs until all received
packets have been processed"), increasing the RX ring size will
increase the number of received packets per transmitted ACK (since
each poll will process up to one complete receive ring). Under KVM,
this can make a substantial (up to ~200%) difference to the overall
download speed, since transmissions are very expensive.
Increase the ring fill level from four to eight packets: this
increases the download speed by around 50% at a cost of around 8kB of
heap space. Further speedups are possible by increasing the ring size
further, but it would be preferable to find alternative methods which
do not use noticeable amounts of heap space.

The .lkrn prefix currently provides a zImage kernel with unused setup
sectors and the whole iPXE binary placed within the "protected mode
kernel" portion of the zImage.
The work carried out years ago to create the .mrom format provides a
mechanism allowing the iPXE binary to be split into a small real-mode
header and a larger payload. This neatly matches the way that a
bzImage is loaded: the "setup sectors" can contain the header and the
"protected mode kernel" can contain the payload.
This removes the size restrictions on an iPXE .lkrn image (and hence
on derived image formats such as .iso).
Also remove obsolete copyright information, since none of the original
code or functionality now remains.

When running inside a virtual machine (or when using the UNDI driver),
transmitting packets can be expensive. When we receive several
packets in one poll (e.g. because a slow BIOS timer interrupt routine
has caused us to fall behind in processing), we can safely send just a
single ACK to cover all of the received packets. This reduces the
time spent transmitting and allows us to clear the backlog much
faster.
Various RFCs (starting with RFC1122) state that there should be an ACK
for at least every second segment. We choose not to enforce this
rule. Under normal operation each poll should find at most one
received packet, and we will then not delay any ACKs. We delay
(i.e. omit) ACKs only when under sufficiently heavy load that we are
finding multiple packets per poll; under these conditions it is
important to clear the backlog quickly since any delay may lead to
dropped packets.

Commit 8540300 ("[build] Disable ccache for all relevant build
targets") attempted to generalise the rule for $(BIN)/version.o to
$(BIN)/version.% in order to apply the dependency to all relevant
build targets (debug objects, assembly listings, etc).
This generalisation appears to work for the ccache override
directives, but seems to cause make (at least, GNU make 4.0) to simply
ignore the dependency upon the git index.
Since version.c contains only some string constants, there is unlikely
to be a substantive need for its debug objects, assembly listings,
etc. Restore the previous form of the dependency and accept that
hypothetical builds with e.g. DEBUG=version will not be handled
correctly.
