222be03974 ELF64 support is not needed on pc98. 2004-10-24 12:18:11 +00:00

941fdb393b Add the loader side of support for preloading ELF relocatable object
format modules, which are currently only used on the amd64 platform.
This initial implementation just parses enough of the module to
allow it to extract dependencies and load all the bits into the
right place in memory, so the kernel must still do the full relocation
and linking. The details of the loaded sections are passed to the
kernel by supplying a copy of the ELF section header table as module
metadata with the MODINFOMD_SHDR tag.

45b8d7c46e Separate out the ELF relocation code from the ELF loader, and add
better relocation support for the amd64 and i386 platforms. This
should not result in any change in functionality, but moves a step
towards supporting the relocatable object file modules on amd64.

The same hack/trick as load_elf*.c uses is used here to simultaneously
support both elf32 and elf64 on amd64 and i386.

48a0b96a50 Enable the i386 loader to load and run an amd64 kernel. If this puts
things over floppy size limits, I can exclude it for release builds or
something like that.  Most of the changes are to get the load_elf.c file
into a seperate elf32_ or elf64_ namespace so that you can have two
ELF loaders present at once.  Note that for 64 bit kernels, it actually
starts up the kernel already in 64 bit mode with paging enabled.  This
is really easy because we have a known minimum feature set.

Of note is that for amd64, we have to pass in the bios int 15 0xe821
memory map because once in long mode, you absolutely cannot make VM86
calls.  amd64 does not use 'struct bootinfo' at all.  It is a pure loader
metadata startup, just like sparc64 and powerpc.  Much of the
infrastructure to support this was adapted from sparc64.

e581f644a4 Initiate deorbit burn of i386 a.out kld "support" in loader. Note that
this was quite broken, it never was updated for metadata support.
The a.out kld file support was never really used, as it wasn't necessary.
You could always load elf kld's, even in an a.out kernel.

4cc1860f9b OpenFirmware/PowerPC loader, part 2.
As of this patchset, the loader builds (under NetBSD/macppc), boots, interacts
and talks to BOOTP/NFS servers.

(main.c was moved from boot/ofw/libofw to boot/ofw/common but has no revision
 history)

c7db92c026 Add BootForth hooks; if BOOT_FORTH is defined, pass every line read
to the Forth interpreter.  Instantiate all of our inbuilt commands
as Forth words, and handle them being called from there.

Add my copyright to the bcache module (oops).

af1f6e0673 Implement a simple LRU block cache. By default this is initialised to 16k,
and will bypass transfers for more than 8k.  Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.

The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.

Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

efca1dc5ee ELF loader, part 1. It works with ELF kernels generated on the i386
so far, and should probably be able to be made to work for the alpha
without too much trouble once it's connected up and my assumptions tested.

I think (but have not tested) it will also load "old" ELF kernels that
were not linked with DYNAMIC headers.

The module glue is yet to come. (oh fun.. :-)

It does not explicitly load symbols [yet].  The _DYNAMIC data contains a
runtime symbol set that ddb can use via ddb/db_kld.c.  It'll be missing
some detail that stabs normally provides (eg: number of args to a function,
line numbers, etc).  On the other hand, those minimal symbols will always
be available even on a stripped kernel.

This is mostly stolen from load_aout.c with some ideas from
alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c.

c73b70eec4 Bootloader update.
- Implement a new copyin/readin interface for loading modules.
   This allows the module loaders to become MI, reducing code duplication.
 - Simplify the search for an image activator for the loaded kernel.
 - Use the common module management code for all module metadata.
 - Add an 'unload' command that throws everything away.
 - Move the a.out module loader to MI code, add support for a.out
   kld modules.

c2f9d95de5 This is the new unified bootstrap, sometimes known previously as the
'three-stage' bootstrap.
There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state:
 - The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy.
 - The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended
   information and module summary passed in.
 - PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented.
 - i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet.
 - The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap.

On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is
supported.  No blockmaps are used by this code.

Obtained from:	Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.
