lualoader in itself only uses another ~200K, but there seems to be no reason
not to bump it a little higher to give us some more wiggle room.
With this, I can boot using a menu-enabled lualoader, no problem and
reasonably fast. Some heap usage datapoints from the review:
forthloader, no menus, kernel loaded:
heap base at 0x1203d5b0, top at 0x1208e000, used 330320
lualoader, no menus, kernel loaded:
heap base at 0x42050028, top at 0x420ab000, used 372696
lualoader, menus, kernel loaded:
heap base at 0x42050028, top at 0x420d5000, used 544728
Since then, the no menu case for lualoader should have decreased slightly as
I've made some changes to make sure that it no longer loads any of th emenu
bits with beastie disabled.
While here, split heap size out into a HEAP_SIZE macro.

This fixes a problem encountered on the Lenovo Thinkpad X220/Yoga 11e where
runtime services would try to inexplicably jump to other parts of memory
where it shouldn't be when attempting to enumerate EFI vars, causing a
panic.
The virtual mapping is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting
efi_disable_vmap in loader.conf(5).

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by
little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a
great soul has simply nothing to do. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The current system is fragile and requires very careful layout of all
*_devdesc structures. It also makes it hard to change the base
devdesc. Take a page from CAM and put the 'header' in all the derived
classes and adjust the code to match.
For OFW, move the iHandle h_handle out of a slot conflicting with
d_opendata. Due to quirks in the alignment rules, this worked.
However changing the code to use d_opendata storage now that it's a
pointer is hard, so just have a separate field for it.
All other cleanups were to make the *_devdesc structures match where
they'd taken some liberties that were none-the-less compatible enough
to work.
open_disk uses d_opendata for it's own purpse. We can't store blkio
there. Fortunately, blkio is stored elsewhere and we never actually
retrieve blkio from d_opendata. Eliminate it as a source of confusion.
Eliminate all stores of d_opendata in efi since this layer doesn't own
that field.
Make sure { on the same line as struct for all struct *devdesc. Move
some type definitions to next to the dv_type define, since that's what
sets the d_type.
This matches a convention that we use, at least in ubldr, to prefix
getc/putc with a loader-specific prefix to avoid collisions. This was
encountered while trying to build the beri loader with MK_LOADER_LUA=yes.

With autodetection turned on, hitting the filesystem everytime we need to
calculate choices for the kernel carousel is kind of slow. Cache once on the
first listing and reload it anytime the config is reloaded in case any of
the loader.conf(5) changes that affect this (kernel, kernels,
kernels_autodetect) have changed. This also picks up the case where we've
changed currdev and the autodetected kernels could change.
cli_execute was changed to return the status, cascade that to
cli_execute_unparsed.
This fixes a lot of false "Failed to execute" errors following r330620; no
failures actually occurred, but [module]_error would've then promptly
executed (and also "failed")
These tend to have less coverage in other places and they don't have
defaults as of yet, so mention them here:
- fdt_overlays
- kernels_autodetect (lualoader only)
This applies to:
- exec
- [module]_before
- [module]_error
- [module]_after
Before this commit, these used loader.perform to execute them as a pure,
unsalted loader command. This means that they were not able to take
advantage of any Lua-salted loader commands, like boot and autoboot, or pure
Lua loader commands (functions attached to the 'cli' module).
They now have access to the full arsenal, just shy of being able to execute
arbitrary Lua.
loader.interpret should not be used for executing loader commands from an
untrusted source (e.g. environment vars) as it will allow execution of
arbitrary Lua. Replace it with a call to the recently introduced
cli_execute_unparsed, which parses it out as a loader command and then
dispatches it as a loader command. This effectively filters out arbitrary
Lua.
This will be used for scenarios where the command to execute is coming in
via the environment (from, for example, loader.conf(5)) and is thus not
necessarily trusted.
cli_execute_unparsed will immediately be used for handling
module_{before,after,error} as well as menu_timeout_command. We still want
to offer these variables the ability to execute Lua-intercepted loader
commands, but we don't want them to be able to execute arbitrary Lua.

testmain is a userland application intended to be built with standard

Fix it by having the testmain build clobber cflags, reducing it to just the

Back when I "fixed" the loading of kernel/modules to be deferred until
booting, I inadvertently broke the ability to manually load a set of kernels
and modules in case of something bad having happened. lualoader would
instead happily load whatever is specified in loader.conf(5) and go about
the boot, leading to a panic loop as you try to rediscover a way to stop the
panicky efirt module from loading and fail miserably.

than a pointer to Open Firmware by default. This eliminates a number of
potentially unsafe calls to firmware from the kernel and provides better
performance.
This feature is meant to be expanded until it is on by default
unconditionally and, ideally, we can then garbage-collect the
nightmare pile of hacks required to call into Open Firmware from a live
kernel.

the powerpc/ subdirectory. These have never used by SPARC and we have
no other (and almost certainly will have no other) Open Firmware platforms.
This makes the directory structure simpler and lets us avoid some
cargo-cult MI patterns on code that is, and always was,

- All of our default positions were offset from forth
- Our menu frame size was smaller than in forth
- Logo/brand drawing had an off-by-one, drawing one column lower on the
screen than they should have been.
- While here, switch a print() to printc() as it's expected that logos may
contain color and other escpae sequences that we'll need to honor.
It may be set to "left" or "right" -- any other value will cause the title

I've chosen to position these things just inside the vertical borders,
rather than overlapping the corners. This is an arbitrary choice and easily
amendable if this looks terrible.
This allows lua to pass back a command string to be executed as if it were
typed at the loader prompt- loader tries to execute the string first as pure
lua, then parses it and gives lua a chance to intercept before it tries to
execute it itself.
This will be used to implement menu_timeout_command, among other things,
which *should* be used to execute basic loader commands independent of the
chosen interpreter.
Rather than before the menu is drawn. The drawer is going to reset the
crusor position as soon as it draws anything anyways, so doing it before
serves no purpose. Setting it after is needed so we don't clobber the menu
when we start booting.
printc does not need the features or the overhead of printf. It does not
take formatting strings, and it pipes the single string argument through an
"%s" format.
Instead, use putc directly. This pipes the string through in its entirety as
a series of 'unsigned char's, generally straight to the console emulator.

r330282 registered loader.printc as printc, so use it instead. This makes
sense for a couple reasons, the major point being that it reads a little bit
easier and pairs nicely with the global 'print'.
Similar cases can not really be made for other loader.* functions as most of
them are either highly specific to our use-case or usually available in
other modules, such as `os`. printc does not have a standard implementation
in the Lua world(*), so we have a little more leeway with it, and it's kind
of a special case of the globally available 'print'.
(*) I've been in the Lua world for all of two weeks, so this could be wrong.
- Add drawer.frame_styles to map out the kinds of characters we need for the
different loader_menu_frame values
- Respect loader_menu_frame, default to double[*]
- (imp) Use loader.printc instead of print- print adds a newline to the
output, which is not the right thing we want to be doing.
- (imp) Draw horizontal frames a little more efficiently- setting the cursor
after every line segment is horribly inefficient, especially on serial
consoles. Halve the number of characters written at the expense of an
additional loop to draw the bottom frame, which is likely more efficient
in the long run for some of less ideal scenarios.
[*] menu.4th(8) claims that the default here was single, but unset
loader_menu_frame yielded double and we didn't have any overrides in the
default loader.conf(5), so double it is.
