- Set BI_CAN_EXEC_DYN, so we can execute ET_DYN ELF files in addition to
regular ET_EXECs.
- Provide an AT_BASE entry in the auxiliary vector, so the executable
knows at which address it got loaded and can apply relocations.
The type definitions and constants that were used by COMPAT_CLOUDABI64
are a literal copy of some headers stored inside of CloudABI's C
library, cloudlibc. What is annoying is that we can't make use of
cloudlibc's system call list, as the format is completely different and
doesn't provide enough information. It had to be synced in manually.
We recently decided to solve this (and some other problems) by moving
the ABI definitions into a separate file:
https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudabi/blob/master/cloudabi.txt
This file is processed by a pile of Python scripts to generate the
header files like before, documentation (markdown), but in our case more
importantly: a FreeBSD system call table.
This change discards the old files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and replaces
them by the latest copies, which requires some minor changes here and
there. Because cloudabi.txt also enforces consistent names of the system
call arguments, we have to patch up a small number of system call
implementations to use the new argument names.
The new header files can also be included directly in FreeBSD kernel
space without needing any includes/defines, so we can now remove
cloudabi_syscalldefs.h and cloudabi64_syscalldefs.h. Patch up the
sources to include the definitions directly from sys/contrib/cloudabi
instead.
In order to make it easier to support CloudABI on ARM64, move out all of
the bits from the AMD64 cloudabi_sysvec.c into a new file
cloudabi_module.c that would otherwise remain identical. This reduces
the AMD64 specific code to just ~160 lines.
