superblock has a check-hash error, an error message noting the
superblock check-hash failure is printed and the mount fails. The
administrator then runs fsck to repair the filesystem and when
successful, the filesystem can once again be mounted.
This approach fails if the filesystem in question is a root filesystem
from which you are trying to boot. Here, the loader fails when trying
to access the filesystem to get the kernel to boot. So it is necessary
to allow the loader to ignore the superblock check-hash error and make
a best effort to read the kernel. The filesystem may be suffiently
corrupted that the read attempt fails, but there is no harm in trying
since the loader makes no attempt to write to the filesystem.
Once the kernel is loaded and starts to run, it attempts to mount its
root filesystem. Once again, failure means that it breaks to its prompt
to ask where to get its root filesystem. Unless you have an alternate
root filesystem, you are stuck.
Since the root filesystem is initially mounted read-only, it is
safe to make an attempt to mount the root filesystem with the failed
superblock check-hash. Thus, when asked to mount a root filesystem
with a failed superblock check-hash, the kernel prints a warning
message that the root filesystem superblock check-hash needs repair,
but notes that it is ignoring the error and proceeding. It does
mark the filesystem as needing an fsck which prevents it from being
enabled for writing until fsck has been run on it. The net effect
is that the reboot fails to single user, but at least at that point
the administrator has the tools at hand to fix the problem.

When loader(8) is built with zfs support enabled, it assumes that any extarg
data present is a zfs_boot_args struct, but if the first-stage loader was
gptboot(8) the extarg data is actually a geli_boot_args struct. Luckily,
zfsboot(8) and gptzfsboot(8) have always passed KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS along with
KARGS_FLAGS_EXTARG, so we can use KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS to decide whether the
extarg data is a zfs_boot_args struct.
To avoid similar problems in the future, gptboot(8) now passes a new
KARGS_FLAGS_GELI to indicate that extarg data is geli_boot_args. In
loader(8), if the neither KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS nor KARGS_FLAGS_GELI is set but
extarg data is present (which will be the case for gptboot compiled before
this change), we now check for the known size of the geli_boot_args struct
passed by the older versions of gptboot as a way of confirming what type of
extarg data is present.
In a semi-related tidying up, since loader's main() has already decided
what type of extarg data is present and set the global 'zargs' var
accordingly, don't repeat the check in extract_currdev, just check whether
zargs is NULL or not.

As part of the migration away from obsolete binutils we want to retire

(via rules in share/mk/bsd.suffixes.mk) are assembled with Clang's
Integrated Assembler (IAS). Rename files in stand/i386 to .S to use

Clang's IAS supports the defsym option (via -Wa,) but only with one
dash, not two. As both -defsym and --defsym are accepted by GNU as,
use the former.

src.opts.mk includes bsd.own.mk. This in turn defines CTFCONVERT_CMD
depending on the MK_CTF value. We then set MK_CTF to no, which has no
real effect. The solution is to set all the MK_foo values before

This should stop the cdboot binary from exploding in size for releases

of args data between gptboot/zfsboot and loader(8).
Despite what seems like a lot of changes here, there are no actual
changes in behavior, or in the data layout in the structures involved.
This is just eliminating identical code pasted into multiple locations.
In detail, the changes are...
- Move struct zfs_boot_args definition from libsa/zfs/libzfs.h to
i386/common/bootargs.h because it is specific to x86 booting and the
handoff between zfsboot and loader, and has no relation to the zfs
library code in general.
- The geli_boot_args and zfs_boot_args structs both contain an identical
set of member variables containing geli information. Extract this out
to a new geli_boot_data struct, and embed it in the arg-passing structs.
- Provide new routines geli_import_boot_data() and geli_export_boot_data()
that can be shared between gptboot, zfsboot, and loader instead of
pasting identical code into several different .c files.
- Remove some checks for a NULL pointer that can never be true because the
pointer being tested was set using pointer math (kargs + 1) and that can
never result in NULL in this code.
This fix is ported from illumos (issue #9970), the analysis and initial
implementation was done by John Levon.

Currently, efi_cons_getchar() will wait for a key. While this seems to make
sense, the implementation of getchar() in common/console.c will loop across
getchar() for all consoles without doing ischar() first.
This means that if we've configured multiple consoles, we can't input into
the serial, as getchar() will be sat waiting for input only from efi_console.c
This patch does implement a bit more generic key buffer to support
translation of input keys, and we use generic efi_readkey() to reduce
duplication from calls from getchar() and poll().
Create unified block IO implementation in BIOS version, like it is done in UEFI
side. Implement fd, disk and cd device lists, this will split floppy devices
from disks and will allow us to have consistent, predictable device naming
(modulo BIOS issues).

When arch-independent geli support was added, a new static 'gdsk' struct
was added, but there was still a static 'dsk' struct, and when you typed

which was then never used for anything. Now the string gets parsed into
gdsk.dsk, the struct that's actually used.
