When WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD=yes is set in src.conf(5), eliminate the
time, user, and host from the loader's version information. This allows
builds to produce bit-for-bit identical output.

The Makefile rule to create vers.c for loader version info was
previously duplicated in each of the various loader Makefiles.
Instead, share a common rule in Makefile.inc.

FICL definitions not in ficl/ficl32 files broke this generally. This
makes that stuff conditional on BOOT_FORTH. Also, move definitions
related to the architecture (FICL_CPUARCH and friends) into
Makefile.ficl that all parts of the tree that include files with ficl
need to include (but only if MK_FORTH == yes). In addition, had to fix
library ordering issue with LIBSTAND to keep it last. Without boot
forth, there's no references to memset to bring in memset.o from
libstand.a to satisfy libgeliboot.a's use of it. Listing libstand last
solves this issue (and it's the proper place for libstand to boot).

The changes are mostly dealing with removing unnecessary casts from the U-Boot
API (we're passing only pointers, no obvious reason to cast them to uint32_t),
cleaning up some compiler warnings and using the proper printf format
specifiers in order to be able to compile cleanly for both 32-bit and 64-bit
MIPS targets.

like EX and SRX. The install command uses pkgfs to extract a kernel,
zero or more modules and a root file system from the specified package
and boots the kernel. The name of the kernel, the list of modules and
the name of the root file system can be specified by putting a
file called "metatags in the package.
The package to use is given by an URL. The schemes supported are
tftp and file. For the file scheme, the disk is currently hardcoded
but that should really look for the package on all devices and
partititions.

This uses the common U-Boot support lib (sys/boot/uboot, already used on
FreeBSD/powerpc), and assumes the underlying firmware has the modern API for
stand-alone apps enabled in the config (CONFIG_API).

format modules, which are currently only used on the amd64 platform.
This initial implementation just parses enough of the module to
allow it to extract dependencies and load all the bits into the
right place in memory, so the kernel must still do the full relocation
and linking. The details of the loaded sections are passed to the
kernel by supplying a copy of the ELF section header table as module
metadata with the MODINFOMD_SHDR tag.
better relocation support for the amd64 and i386 platforms. This
should not result in any change in functionality, but moves a step
towards supporting the relocatable object file modules on amd64.
The same hack/trick as load_elf*.c uses is used here to simultaneously
support both elf32 and elf64 on amd64 and i386.
things over floppy size limits, I can exclude it for release builds or
something like that. Most of the changes are to get the load_elf.c file
into a seperate elf32_ or elf64_ namespace so that you can have two
ELF loaders present at once. Note that for 64 bit kernels, it actually
starts up the kernel already in 64 bit mode with paging enabled. This
is really easy because we have a known minimum feature set.
Of note is that for amd64, we have to pass in the bios int 15 0xe821
memory map because once in long mode, you absolutely cannot make VM86
calls. amd64 does not use 'struct bootinfo' at all. It is a pure loader
metadata startup, just like sparc64 and powerpc. Much of the
infrastructure to support this was adapted from sparc64.
this was quite broken, it never was updated for metadata support.
The a.out kld file support was never really used, as it wasn't necessary.
You could always load elf kld's, even in an a.out kernel.
As of this patchset, the loader builds (under NetBSD/macppc), boots, interacts
and talks to BOOTP/NFS servers.

and will bypass transfers for more than 8k. Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.
The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.
Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

I think (but have not tested) it will also load "old" ELF kernels that
were not linked with DYNAMIC headers.
The module glue is yet to come. (oh fun.. :-)
It does not explicitly load symbols [yet]. The _DYNAMIC data contains a
runtime symbol set that ddb can use via ddb/db_kld.c. It'll be missing
some detail that stabs normally provides (eg: number of args to a function,
line numbers, etc). On the other hand, those minimal symbols will always
be available even on a stripped kernel.
This is mostly stolen from load_aout.c with some ideas from
alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c.
- Use format-independant module allocator.
- Conditionalise ISA PnP support.
- Simplify PnP enumerator interface.
- Improve module/object searching.
- Add missing depend/install targets in BTX makefiles.
- Pass the kernel environment and module data in extended bootinfo fields.
- Add a pointer to the end of the kernel + modules in bootinfo.
- Fix parsing of old-style kernel arguments.
