The behavior remains the same, but lualoader now uses the more concise
verbiage that forthloader used. This is particularly important because
the previous line would exceed the right boundary of the menu and run
straight into space that would typically be allowed for the logo.
This makes it slightly easier to port logos from forthloader to
lualoader.
We want to keep our root file system open to preserve bcache segment
between file accesses, thus reducing physical disk IO.

Because lld 13 and higher default to garbage collecting start/stop
symbols when using --gc-sections, the linker sets used in the i386 boot
loaders will disappear. This leads to the loaders not recognizing any
commands, and failure to boot.
Until we have a good set of linker scripts for the loaders, work around
it by disabling the start-stop-gc feature.

This pushes the bulk of the rx servicing into a single loop that's only
slightly convoluted, and it addresses a problem with rx handling in the
process. If we hit a tx interrupt while we're processing, we'd
previously drop the frame on the floor completely and ultimately
timeout, increasing boot time on particularly busy hosts as we keep
having to backoff and resend.
After this patch, we don't seem to hit timeouts at all on zoo anymore
though loading a 27M kernel is still relatively slow (~1m20s).

The change makes block caching algorithm to work better for remote
media on low-BW/high-delay links.
This cuts boot time over IP KVMs noticeably, since the initialization
stage reads bunch of small 4th (and now lua) files that are not in
the same cache stripe (usually), thus wasting lot of bandwidth and
increasing latency even further.
The original regression came in 2017 with revision 87ed2b7f5. We've
seen increase of time it takes for the loader to get to the kernel
loading from under a minute to 10-15 minutes in many cases.

Summary:
Open file list is currently created as statically allocated array (64 items).
Once this array is filled up, loader will not be able to operate with files.
In most cases, this mechanism is good enough, but the problem appears, when
we have many disks with zfs pool(s). In current loader implementation, all
discovered zfs pool configurations are kept in memory and disk devices open -
consuming the open file array. Rewrite the open file mechanism to use
dynamically allocated list.

Large nextboot.conf files (over 80 bytes) are not read correctly by the
Forth loader, causing file parsing to abort, and nextboot configuration
fails to apply.
Simple repro:
nextboot -e foo=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
shutdown -r now
That will cause the bug to cause a parse failure but shouldn't otherwise
affect the boot. Depending on your loader configuration, you may also
have to set beastie_disable and/or reduce the number of modules loaded
to see the error on a small console screen. 12.0 or CURRENT users will
also have to explicitly use the Forth loader instead of the Lua loader.
The error will look something like:
Warning: syntax error on file /boot/loader.conf.local
foo="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxnextboot_enable="YES"

/boot/support.4th has crude file I/O buffering, which uses a buffer
'read_buffer', defined to be 80 bytes by the 'read_buffer_size'
constant. The loader first tastes nextboot.conf, reading and parsing
the first line in it for nextboot_enable="YES". If this is true, then
it reopens the file and parses it like other loader .conf files.
Unfortunately, the file I/O buffering code does not fully reset the
buffer state in the reset_line_reading word. If the last file was read
to the end, that doesn't matter; the file buffer is treated as empty
anyway. But in the nextboot.conf case, the loader will not read to the
end of file if it is over 80 bytes, and the file buffer may be reused
when reading the next file. When the file is reread, the corrupt text
may cause file parsing to abort on bad syntax (if the corrupt line has
<>2 quotes in it), the wrong variable to be set, no variable to be set
at all, or (if the splice happens to land at a line ending) something
approximating normal operation.
The bug is very old, dating back to at least 2000 if not before, and is
still present in 12.0 and CURRENT r345863 (though it is now hidden by
the Lua loader by default).
Suggested one-line attached. This does change the behavior of the
reset_line_reading word, which is exported in the line-reading
dictionary (though the export is not documented in loader man pages).
But repo history shows it was probably exported for the PNP support
code, which was never included in the loader build, and was removed 5
months ago.
One thing that puzzles me: how has this bug gone unnoticed/unfixed for
nearly 2 decades? I find it hard to believe that nobody's tried to do
something interesting with nextboot, like load a kernel and filesystem,
