1.) Instead of string.function(s, ...), use s:function(...)
2.) Don't try to concatenate `res`, it was just tested to be nil
3.) Note that "Loading configuration" is configured modules, and be a little
more precise in mentioning what failed ("loading of one or more modules")
An empty module_path to start with isn't ideal, but if all modules are
contained within a kernel directory (which is what we just tested) then it
isn't strictly an error. Don't assume that module_path has a value already.
When we fail to load the kernel, printing the result (which is guaranteed to
be nil) is not intended; print the name of the kernel.
autoboot_delay=NO is documented to wait for input and *not* autoboot, which
is the exact opposite of the current behavior.
Additionally, autoboot_delay=-1 is documented to disallow the user from
interrupting the boot (i.e. autoboot immediately), which was not previously
honored.
This also fixes the case insensitive comparison to be truly case
insensitive. This is kind of nit-picky, but the previous version would only
accept "no" and "NO".
Don't move this into config.reload because we may want to force reloads if
/boot changes out from under us later.
As a caution: changing kernels in lualoader at the moment might not be
loading all of your modules (in my testing, at least) from loader.conf(5).
This is a known problem.
Detect ancient GCC specifically, rather than using target architecture as a
crude heuristic.
Side note: compilers should really ignore -Wno- and -Wno-error= flags they
don't recognize. Seems like modern compilers produce warnings instead of
errors. Though, with -Werror they turn into errors. Clang's error can be
disabled with -Wno-error=unknown-warning-option, but GCC doesn't seem to
have a named method to disable the specific warning.

Defaulting to CK_MD_RMO has the unfortunate side effect of generating
memory barriers that are useless on those arches, and the even more
unfortunate side effect of generating lfence/sfence/mfence on i386, even
if older CPUs don't support it.
This should fix the panic reported when using IPFW on a Pentium 3.
Note that mfence and sfence might still be used in a few case, but that
shouldn't happen in FreeBSD right now, and should be fixed upstream first.

Decimals screw up the escape sequence and the cursor will not get set. Right
now this only affects setting the cursor for drawing "Welcome to FreeBSD" --
the resulting number after our (x+(w/2)-9) calculation gets output as
"14.0."
This should be fixed at the interpreter level, rather than here, but this is
not a widespread problem at the moment so we'll fix it up in further work.

The Pine64 root filesystem was incorrectly created directly on the MBR
partition. This can cause the loader to get confused when loading the
kernel from this filesystem.
The loader will see this as a small partition meaning later checks to
ensure it doesn't read past the end of the disk incorrectly report a
failure. This seems to work mostly by accident with the released images as
they are smaller than the reported size, however after growfs has run the
image may no longer boot.

ffs_sbget() may return a superblock buffer even if it fails, so the
caller must be prepared to free it in this case. Moreover, when tasting
alternate superblock locations in a loop, ffs_sbget()'s readfunc
callback must free the previously allocated buffer.

EXPORT_SYMS can be set to YES, NO, a list of symbols to export from a
module, or to a filename containing such a list. For the case that it
is set to a symbol list, replace spaces in the list with newlines, so

Many licenses on Linuxolator files contained small variations from the
standard FreeBSD license text. To avoid license proliferation switch to
the standard 2-clause FreeBSD license for those files where I have
permission from each of the listed copyright holders. Additional files
waiting on permission from others are listed in review D14210.

This is a pre-cursor to boot environment support in lualoader. Create a new
menu item type, "carousel_entry", that generally provides a callback to get
the list of items, a carousel_id for storing the current value, and the
standard name/func functions that an entry has.
The difference between this and a normal menu item, functionally, is that
selecting a carousel item will automatically rotate through available items
and wrap back at the beginning when the list is exhausted.
The 'name' function takes the choice index, current choice, and the list of
choices as parameters so that the menu item can decorate the name freely as
desired.
The 'func' function takes the current choice as a parameter, so it can act
accordingly.
The kernel menu item has been rewritten to use the carousel_entry type as
both an example and initial test of its functionality before it is used for
boot environment options.
Small global symbols confuse ddb which matches them against small
unrelated displacements and makes the disassembly ugly.

ZFS caches blocks it reads in its ARC, so in general the optional
pages are not as useful as with filesystems that read the data
directly into the target pages. But still the optional pages
are useful to reduce the number of page faults and associated
VM / VFS / ZFS calls.
Another case that gets optimized (as a side effect) is paging in
from a hole. ZFS DMU does not currently provide a convenient
API to check for a hole. Instead it creates a temporary zero-filled
block and allows accessing it as if it were a normal data block.
Getting multiple pages one by one from a hole results in repeated
creation and destruction of the temporary block (and an associated
ARC header).
Tested with fsx using various supported blocks sizes from 512 bytes
to 128 KB and additionally 1 MB.
Please note that in illumos and ZoL they do not do the range-locking in
the page-in path. This is because ZFS has a double-caching problem
between ARC and page cache and that requires zfs_read() and zfs_write()
to consult pages in the page cache. So, in those functions they first
lock a range and then lock pages corresponding to the range. While in
the page-in (and maybe page-out) path they first lock the pages and then
would lock the range. So, they would have a deadlock.
I believe that FreeBSD does not have that problem, because the page-in
deals only with invalid pages while zfs_read() and zfs_write() need to
access only valid pages. They do not wait on a busy page unless it's
already valid.

Rev 244218 removed the requirement that you provide a dump
directory when checking if there is a coredump ready to be written.
That had the side-effect of causing the bounds file to be read
from the current working directory instead of the dump directory.
As the bounds file is irrelevant when just checking, the simplest
fix is to not read the bounds file when checking.
