If a file is specified in loader_conf_files that ends in '.lua', lualoader
will now load and execute that file. These may be used in place of a
traditional loader.conf to use more complicated logic, where some values
may be set based on others or based on the environment that the C bits has
left us with.
Lua scripts are run in a limited environment. In particular, it does not get
access to any modules or, in-fact, anything except environment variable.
A config.buildenv hook has been added so that a local module can add
whatever it may need to to the environment.
When a global var is set in the lua script, it does not immediately alter
the loader environment. Instead, the script's environment is initially
empty and processed only if the whole script executes successfully.
Effectively, a lua configuration file either takes effect or it does not,
an error will not leave it in a half-baked state.

In the lua loader, if one sets a password in loader.conf, the
autoboot_delay timer will start before the menu is displayed. One can
interrupt the autoboot and bring up the menu by entering a keyboard
character before the timer expires.
If this is done a prompt for the password is displayed. Entering the
password will bring up the menu, but the timer will again start and
another keyboard character must be entered or autoboot will abort the
menu and boot the system.

This allows the "Multi user" in "[B]oot Multi user" to be substituted

Note that this is lua-only at the moment, since loader.4th's menu.rc
defines the alternate name as Boot [M]ulti User, unlike lualoader which
leaves it as [B]oot Multi user. Ideally loader.4th would adopt the newer

lualoader was previously not processing \ as escapes; this commit fixes
that and does better error checking on the value as well.
Additionally, loader.conf had some odd restrictions on values that make
little sense. Previously, lines like:
kernel=foo
Would simply be discarded with a malformed line complaint you might not
see unless you disable beastie.
lualoader tries to process these as well as it can and manipulates the
environment, while forthloader did minimal processing and constructed a
`set` command to do the heavy lifting instead. The lua approach was
re-envisioned from building a `set` command so that we can appropriately
reset the environment when, for example, boot environments change.
Lift the previous restrictions to allow unquoted values on the right hand
side of an expression. Note that an unquoted value is effectively:
[A-Za-z0-9-][A-Za-z0-9-_.]*
This commit also stops trying to weirdly limit what it can handle in a
quoted value. Previously it only allowed spaces, alphanumeric, and
punctuation, which is kind of weird. Change it here to grab as much as it
can between two sets of quotes, then let processEnvVar() do the needful and
complain if it finds something malformed looking.
My extremely sophisticated test suite is as follows:

Future work may provide a stub loader module in userland so that we can
formally test the loader scripts rather than sketchy setups like the above
in conjunction with the lua-* tools in ^/tools/boot.
This fixes the positioning of the "Welcome to FreeBSD" heading, which was
misplaced after the recent update to Lua 5.4. The issue was previously
masked by a compatibility knob in Lua 5.3 that would cause float-tagged
numbers to render faithfully without the decimal component. Lua 5.4 dropped
that and ensures that it always prints a decimal component, even if it has
to append a ".0" to the value.
Standard division produces a "float", floor division (//) can be used to
guarantee an integer. Floating point operations have been completely ripped
out of the liblua compiled for the bootloader, so this is a nop. This is
decidedly better than trying to hack out the float tag entirely.

We've added a new pager module that's compiled in, so declare that as an
acceptable global.
This effectively dumps everything lualoader knows about to the console using
the libsa pager; that particular lua interface was added in r368591.
A pager stub implementation has been added that just dumps the output as-is
as a compat shim for older loader binaries that do not have lpager. This
stub should be moved into a more appropriate .lua file if we add anything
else that needs the pager.
Specifically, we have:
- enable-module
- disable-module
- toggle-module
These can be used to add/remove modules to be loaded or force modules to be
loaded in spite of modules_blacklist. In the typical case, a user is
expected to use them to recover an issue happening due to a module directive
they've added to their loader.conf or because they discover that they've
under-specified what to load.

out graphics types to a table of the exact same format as what was

prefixes and each one can provide a logo and a brand.

bootonce and nextboot features are usable in both UEFI and BIOS boot.

The previous interface was pretty bad, and required the caller to get some
implementation details correct that it really shouldn't need to (e.g.
loader_conf_files handling) and pass in an empty table for it to use.
The new and much improved interface, readConf, is much less of a hack;
hiding these implementation details and just doing the right thing.
config.lua will now use it to process /boot/defaults/loader.conf and the
subsequent loader_conf_files from there, and read-conf will also use it.
This improvement submitted by Olivier (cited below), loader_conf_files
handling from the original patch was changed to just clobber it before

This new table should be used for transient values that don't need to end up
in the loader environment. Generally, these will be things that are internal
details that really aren't needed or interesting outside of the config
module (e.g. if we changed how ${module}_* directives work, they might use
this instead).
To start, populate it with loader_conf_files. Any specific value of
loader_conf_files isn't all that interesting; if we're going to export it,
we should really instead export a loader_conf_files that indicates all of
the configuration files we processed. This will be used to reduce
bookkeeping overhead in a future commit that cleans up readConfFiles.
While we're here, let's stylize these as functions instead of just raw text.
A future change may allow arbitrary data arguments to be passed some of
these, and the distinction is useful.
This makes sure that config.readConfFiles doesn't see a stale
loader_conf_files from before, in case the newly loaded file doesn't set it.

This may be used for the local module to hook in and load any additional
modules that it wants, since it can't modify the modules table internal to

it will be more complicated to use with little return.
status is captured but ignored for the purpose of loading the hook. status
will be false if *any* module failed to load, but we typically don't let
that halt the boot so there's no reason to let it halt hooks. Some vendors
or setups may have expected fails that would be actively thwarted by
checking it.
We may, at a later date, consider adding an API for letting non-config

The major problem with the current ordering is that loader.conf may contain
all of the magic we need to actually setup the console, so loading local.lua
prior to that can make it excessively difficult and annoying to debug
(whoops, sorry Ravi & Warner).
The new ordering has some implications, but I suspect they are a non-issue.
The first is that it's no longer possible for the local module to inject any
logic prior to loading config -- I suspect no one has relied on this. The
second implication is that the config.loaded hook is now useless, as the
local module will always be included after that hook would have fired.
For config.loaded, I will opt to leave it in, just in case we add an early
point for local lua to get injected or in case one wants to schedule some
deferred logic in a custom loader.lua. The overhead of having it if no hooks
will be invoked is relatively minimal.
