discover/pxe-parser: Fix relative parsing for manual config files

2017-12-14T23:59:08+00:00

Manually specified config files are asynchronously downloaded by device_handler_process_url() before being parsed. This overwrites the 'pxeconffile' parameter, causing the parser to create relative paths relative to the downloaded file's path, not the original remote path. Work around this by setting 'pxeconffile-local' instead to differentiate between the original config file's location and the local copy.

ui/ncurses: Always cancel autoboot on exit

2017-11-30T04:47:50+00:00

If the ncurses UI exits before it has contacted the server it is meant to fork a process to wait until the connection is made and cancel autoboot. This prevents users dropping to the shell and then having the machine boot out from underneath them. In e1e2ca68 "Spawn shell in exit handler" the UI doesn't actually exit on "exit", but it isn't listening to server events either while the shell is active. In this case make sure we still fork to notify the server. Signed-off-by: Samuel Mendoza-Jonas (cherry picked from commit c916e133367688075f568fed390b625b9325c68b)

ui/ncurses: Handle arrow key variants

2017-11-21T03:46:18+00:00

In the vt100 'application' cursor mode arrow keys produce ^[Ox rather than the usual ^[[x. Add this pattern to our defined keys so we don't accidentally catch the escape key.

Better recognition of ncurses header files

2017-11-21T03:46:15+00:00

This patch was lifted directly from: https://github.com/Tlf/tlf/commit/a21513254ce8bf66d0b019f6075eea918958741a The commit message reads: If ax_with_ncurses finds a ncursesw instance the former code checks only for . If not there the search fails. That let to problems at least in Arch Linux which has only installed. The patched version here checks first for and if not found also for . Tested for the following distributions: Gentoo, Debian 7..9, Linux Mint 17 and 18.1, Arch Linux, Ubuntu ARCH Linux builds ncurses with wide character support but does not add any ncurses specific headers. nurses its self (by default) adds almost no ncurses specific headers. No {prefix}/include/ncurses directory. In fact the only ncurses specific file is the ncurses.h symlink to curses.h, other than that there are no ncurses headers. The ax_with_curses.m4 script detects if the installed ncurses has wide character support. It checks using code snippets against all possible ncurses header files. If the ax_with_curses.m4 script detects wide character support the ax_with_curses_extra.m4 will only look for extra curses features (in the case of petitboot, form.h and menu.h) inside the {prefix}/include/ncurses directory, when they could simply be in {prefix}/include.

ui/ncurses: Safely handle lost terminal control commands

2017-11-14T05:33:41+00:00

Normally terminal control commands are caught and handled before ncurses or Petitboot could see them. However several combinations of broken terminal emulators or console connections can cause these command sequences to be seen by Petitboot, usually resulting in Petitboot exiting due to the ESC character and then the rest printed to the console. Aside from confusing the user this can also cancel autoboot, so it's important we don't let these sequences go unnoticed if possible. In ui/ncurses/console-codes we add a state machine that recognises the syntax of these control/escape sequences and handles the lost characters. We don't try to emulate the functionality of these commands, instead just logging them for reference. Signed-off-by: Samuel Mendoza-Jonas

discover/platform-powerpc: Increase IPMI timeout

2017-10-26T03:11:50+00:00

On OpenBMC platforms IPMI requests can take over five seconds to complete. OpenBMC does inform OPAL in BT init that it may take up to ten seconds to respond to any requests, so update our timeout value to accommodate this extra delay. On other platforms this will won't change anything (AMI- and SMC- based BMCs for example respond in under a second), but on OpenBMC platforms such as Witherspoon this will delay Petitboot significantly while we wait for the response. This is not ideal but we need to wait in order to receive important information such as a safe mode request. Signed-off-by: Samuel Mendoza-Jonas
