user has entered a bogus kernel name in the first place).
Also fix the broken #ifdef FORCE_COMCONSOLE, it has been disabled by
accident. (NB: the keyboard probe remains disabled however.)
Few cosmetic fixes (declare functions to be void instead of int),
while i've been at this.
Pointed out by: wosch@cs.tu-berlin.de (Wolfram Schneider), for the init bug
o Fix the keyboard probe to properly wait for the ready bit before
sending a command to the keyboard controller. This should avoid the
problems some people are experiencing where the boot blocks hang the
system during keyboard probe. (It does solve it for me.)
o Fix a bug that effectively prevented the boot blocks from ever
passing control to the serial console. [while(--retries) instead of
while(retries--)]
o Gratuitously reduced the keyboard probe timeout from 500 to 5
seconds. :)
o Introduced a new option ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' as a commented-out
example in the Makefile, to force the usage of a serial console
regardless of a keyboard being connected or not.
o Moved all external declarations to boot.h, declared all functions
there, and ANSIfied all function declarations/definitions.
(printf() remains bogus, however -- i'm too lazy to fix this.)
We're in the ninetees, dunno why we should still support compilers
from the 70's.
(Boot with the -D flag if you want symbols.)
Make it easier to extend `struct bootinfo' without losing either forwards
or backwards compatibility.
ddb_aout.c:
Get the symbol table from wherever the loader put it.
Nuke db_symtab[SYMTAB_SPACE].
boot.c:
Enable loading of symbols. Align them on a page boundary. Add printfs
about the symbol table sizes.
Pass the memory sizes to the kernel.
Fix initialization of `unit' (it got moved out of the loop).
Fix adding the bss size (it got moved inside an ifdef).
Initialize serial port when RB_SERIAL is toggled on.
Fix comments.
Clean up formatting of recently added code.
io.c:
Clean up formatting of recently added code.
netboot/main.c, machdep.c, wd.c:
Change names of bootinfo fields.
LINT:
Nuke SYMTAB_SPACE.
Fix comment about DODUMP.
Makefile.i386:
Nuke use of dbsym.
Exclude gcc symbols from kernel unless compiling with -g.
Remove unused macro.
Fix comments and formatting.
genassym.c:
Generate defines for some new bootinfo fields. Change names of old ones.
locore.s:
Copy only the valid part of the `struct bootinfo' passed by the loader.
Reserve space for symbol table, if any.
machdep.c:
Check the memory sizes passed by the loader, if any. Don't use them yet.
bootinfo.h:
Add a size field so that we can resolve some mismatches between the loader
bootinfo and the kernel boot info. The version number is not so good for
this because of historical botches and because it's harder to maintain.
Add memory size and symbol table fields. Change the names of everything.
Hacks to save a few bytes:
asm.S, boot.c, boot2.S:
Replace `ouraddr' by `(BOOTSEG << 4)'.
boot.c:
Don't statically initialize `loadflags' to 0. Disable the "REDUNDANT"
code that skips the BIOS variables. Eliminate `total'. Combine some
more printfs.
boot.h, disk.c, io.c, table.c:
Move all statically initialzed data to table.c.
io.c:
Don't put the A20 gate bits in a variable.
Obtained from:
bios boot block changed to allow booting from both the attached graphics
display and from a serial port. (A specially compiled serial boot block
is no longer necessary.) The boot block should detect the presence or
absence of a keyboard: if there is no keyboard, COM1 is turned into the
console. This simulates the behavior of the Sun boot PROMs. Unplug your
keyboard, attach a terminal to COM1 and you should be ready to go. :)
is used instead of /usr/lib
io.c: add #include <machine/cpufunc.h> as instructed by David Greenman to
avoid inb/outb linking errors.
NOTE: I just discovered that if GNUC is not used the inline functions will not be expanded from the include file and real inb/outb functions would
be needed.
