similar to: [GIT PULL] elflink warning fixes and auto extension support

Hi Peter, The main part of this pull request includes commits that try to replace as many __intcall() invocations as possible. Some remain, but not many (and eventually they'll be gone too). There's also a patch to make better use of ld's --as-needed option and various other bug fixes/cleanups. The following changes since commit ff7334a2ce536b7f4b1f6d6f93ff4e285a3bd45a: Only

Hi Peter, Please pull the following changes. Paulo, I had to revert your "pxe: resolve names via DNS from protected-mode code" change because dns_resolv() is only implemented for PXELINUX and causes undefined symbol references for ISOLINUX, etc. Feel free to make the change again on top of the revert. The following changes since commit e7bd19def830e8341b1a100956345f1028740b9e:

Hi, These patches contain support for some features that are already in Syslinux 4 but weren't working properly on the elflink branch. It's another step closer to feature parity with Syslinux 4. Having to jump through the comboot API for localboot support is less than ideal and I'll eventually fix that, probably when we move a big chunk of code from asm to C. Also, there's a

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> The following patch series is available at, git://git.zytor.com/users/mfleming/syslinux.git elflink All patches are against the 'elflink' branch. This series fixes a few serious bugs and some behavioural incompatibilities with the 4.x series. Matt Fleming (19): ldlinux: Initialise 'p' before using it. ldlinux: Parse

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Since we can't use __intcall() for EFI, and since we can now have the ELF module code resolve all our symbols at runtime, we should delete as many references to __intcall() as possible and just access the symbols directly. The most interesting patch is the support for weak symbols. We need to be able to reference derivative-specific

From: Sylvain Gault <sylvain.gault at gmail.com> The behavior when running a "CONFIG" command line is to reload ldlinux.c32 with the new file as argument. This call never return. In order to avoid stacking up the calls to start_ldlinux, this patch introduce a setjmp/longjmp to return to the first call to start_ldlinux, thus freeing all the stack space. Signed-off-by: Sylvain

Hello, I have just get started using pxelinux, and encountered a problem. The document says the simple menu system supports serial console, and it works on syslinux 0.2x, but it doesn't seem to work in 0.3x and 0.4x.

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> The location of __file_info[] and ansicon_counter are split between the core and ldlinux.c32. We can end up calling __ansicon_close (from fp->oop->close) in the process of reloading ldlinux.c32, and while ansicon_counter is set to its initialised data value of 0 when reloading ldlinux.c32, the core is never reloaded, and so __file_info[]

The first two patches basically fix two warnings, and the last one avoid compiling the whole core in Syslinux with debug enabled by default that was accidently added in commit 72842b6 I presume.

I agree. This line was removed during testing because it didn't make big sense (EFLAGS_CF, ebx, and ecx are checked after int 0x13). But it's better to leave it in code to make sure that BIOS conforms standards and clears CF flag on successful call. Adjusted patch is given below.
