being a bootstrap tool. However, for reproducible build output,
FreeBSD added dd status=none because it was otherwise difficult to
suppress the status information, but retain any errors that might
happen. There's no real reason that dd has to be a build tool, other
than we use status=none unconditional. Remove dd from a bootstrap tool
entirely by only using status=none when available. This may also help
efforts to build the system on non-FreeBSD hosts as well.

1. 50+% of NO_PIE use is fixed by adding -fPIC to INTERNALLIB and other
build-only utility libraries.
2. Another 40% is fixed by generating _pic.a variants of various libraries.
3. Some of the NO_PIE use is a bit absurd as it is disabling PIE (and ASLR)
where it never would work anyhow, such as csu or loader. This suggests
there may be better ways of adding support to the tree. Many of these
cases can be fixed such that -fPIE will work but there is really no
reason to have it in those cases.
4. Some of the uses are working around hacks done to some Makefiles that are
really building libraries but have been using bsd.prog.mk because the code
is cleaner. Had they been using bsd.lib.mk then NO_PIE would not have
been needed.
We likely do want to enable PIE by default (opt-out) for non-tree consumers
(such as ports). For in-tree though we probably want to only enable PIE
(opt-in) for common attack targets such as remote service daemons and setuid
utilities. This is also a great performance compromise since ASLR is expected
to reduce performance. As such it does not make sense to enable it in all
utilities such as ls(1) that have little benefit to having it enabled.
Reported by: kib
This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

and finish the job. ncurses is now the only Makefile in the tree that
uses it since it wasn't a simple mechanical change, and will be
addressed in a future commit.
V100, the firmware is known to be broken and not allowing to simultaneously
open disk devices, causing attempts to boot from a mirror or RAIDZ to cause
a crash. This will be worked around later. The firmwares of newer sun4u models
don't seem to exhibit this problem though.
Steps for ZFS booting:
1. create VTOC8 label
# gpart create -s vtoc8 da0
2. add partitions, f.e.:
# gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -s 60g da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-swap da0
resulting in something like:
# gpart show
=> 0 143331930 da0 VTOC8 (68G)
0 125821080 1 freebsd-zfs (60G)
125821080 17510850 2 freebsd-swap (8.4G)
3. create zpool
# zpool create bunker da0a
or for mirror/RAIDZ (after preparing additional disks as in steps 1. + 2.):
# zpool create bunker mirror da0a da1a
# zpool create bunker raidz da0a da1a da2a ...
4. set bootfs
# zpool set bootfs=bunker bunker
5. install zfsboot
# zpool export bunker
# gpart bootcode -p /boot/zfsboot da0
6. write zfsloader to the ZFS Boot Block (so far, there's no dedicated tool
for this, so dd(1) has to be used for this purpose)
When using mirror/RAIDZ, step 4. and the dd(1) invocation should be repeated
for the additional disks in order to be able to boot from another disk in
case of failure.
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10
# dd if=/boot/zfsloader of=/dev/da0a bs=512 oseek=1024 conv=notrunc
# zpool import bunker
7. install system on ZFS filesystem
Don't forget to set 'zfs_load="YES"' and vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:bunker" in
loader.conf as well as 'zfs_enable="YES"'in rc.conf.
8. copy zpool.cache to the ZFS filesystem
cp -p /boot/zfs/zpool.cache /bunker/boot/zfs/zpool.cache
9. set mountpoint
# zfs set mountpoint=/ bunker
10. Now, given that aliases for all disks in the zpool exists (check with
the `devalias` command on the boot monitor prompt) and disk0 corresponds
to da0 (likewise for additional disks), the system can be booted from the
ZFS with:
{1} ok boot disk0

- Change putc_func_t to use a char instead of an int for the character.
- Make functions and variables not used outside of this source file static.
- Remove unused prototypes and variables.
- The OFW read and seek methods take 3 and not 4 input arguments.
GCC forwards the -N flag directly to ld. This flag is not documented and
not supported by (for example) Clang. Just use -Wl,-N.

- Factor out common settings and put them in an upper level Makefile.inc.
- Properly use PROG for real programs, not their products.
- Further reduce diffs to i386 versions.
Tested on: sparc64 (panther)
Move the remaining bits of <sys/diskslice.h> to <i386/include/bootinfo.h>
Move i386/pc98 specific bits from <sys/reboot.h> to
<i386/include/bootinfo.h> as well.
Adjust includes in sys/boot accordingly.
put a bunch of crap before the code in .text. Since the firmware
doesn't seem to honour the a.out entry point, we need to include
a little assmbler file which jumps to where we want to be in C.
