Previous revision of this file changed the "boot" commands to take
no arguments from the stack. This is only valid in the case where
a kernel has not been loaded. In that case, load_kernel_and_modules
will be called, which takes a list of arguments from the stack.
When a kernel is presently loaded, though, the list of arguments must
be passed to the boot command, which was the behaviour before the last
revision.
Fix things for both cases.
Noticed by: S-Max and others on that chat room
Taking over the sector following the MBR causes problems on some
machines, and the actual gains are fairly small in terms of how
the space is presently used.

partitions) that can't be readily accommodated in the basic boot0
design anyway, rather choose to implement the additional stuff
separately and concentrate on compatibility rather than features

used by start to find the kernel. Fix this.
Also, boot would proceed immediately in the absence of a path as

not, fall back to load kernel&modules behavior.

The boot-conf and boot code had various bugs, and some of it was big,
ugly, unwieldy, and, sometimes, plain incorrect. I'm just about
completely replaced these ugly parts with something much more manageable.
Minor changes were made to the well-factorized parts of it, to accomodate
the new code.
Of note:
* make sure boot-conf has the exact same behavior wrt boot order
as start.
* Correct both boot and boot-conf so they'll work correctly when
compiled in, as they both had some bugs, minor and major.
* Remove all the crud from loader.4th back into support.4th, for
the first time since boot-conf was first improved. Hurray!
I'm fairly satisfied with the code at this time. Time to see about those
man pages...
to make things more interchangeable between it and the FORTH case.
Perhaps requiring the space is a bit too much, but...
Nothing in the tree seems to produce loader.rc files with comment
line, at this time.
as the kernel name. The one very unfortunate consequence is that kernel
as an absolute path loses the priority. It will only be tried after
/boot/${kernel}/${bootfile}. I'll see what can be done about it later.
Load the first of the following kernels to be found:
${kernel} if ${kernel} is an absolute path
/boot/${kernel}/${kernel}
/boot/${kernel}/${bootfile}
${kernel}/${kernel}
${kernel}/${bootfile}
${kernel}
${bootfile}
The last instance of ${kernel} and ${bootfile} will be treated as a
list of semicolon separated file names, and each will be tried in turn,
from left to right.
Also, for each filename loader(8) will try filename, filename.ko,
filename.gz, filename.ko.gz, in that order, but that's not related
to this code.
This resulted in a major reorganization of the code, and much of what
was accumulating on loader.4th was rightly transfered to support.4th.
The semantics of boot-conf and boot also changed. Both will try to load
a kernel the same as above.
After a kernel was loaded, the variable module_path may get changed. Such
change will happen if the kernel was found with a directory prefix. In
that case, the module path will be set to ${directory};${module_path}.
Next, the modules are loaded as usual.
This is intended so kernel="xyzzy" in /boot/loader.conf will load
/boot/xyzzy/kernel.ko, load system modules from /boot/xyzzy/, and
load third party modules from /boot/modules or /modules. If that doesn't
work, it's a bug.
Also, fix a breakage of "boot" which was recently introduced. Boot without
any arguments would fail. No longer. Also, boot will only unload/reload
if the first argument is a path. If no argument exists or the first
argument is a flag, boot will use whatever is already loaded. I hope this
is POLA. That behavior is markedly different from that of boot-conf, which
will always unload/reload.
The semantics introduced here are experimental. Even if the code works,
we might decide this is not the prefered behavior. If you feel so, send
your feedback. (Yeah, this belongs in a HEADS UP or something, but I've
been working for the past 16 hours on this stuff, so gimme a break.)
Now boot-conf can also receive parameters to be passed to the kernel
being booted. The syntax is the same as in the boot command, so one
boots /kernel.OLD in single-user mode by typing:
boot-conf /kernel.OLD -s instead of
boot-conf -s /kernel.OLD
The syntax still supports use of directory instead of file name, so
boot-conf kernel.OLD -s
may be used to boot /boot/kernel.OLD/kernel.ko in single-user mode.
Notice that if one passes a flag to boot-conf, it will override the
flags set in .conf files, but only for that invocation. If the user
aborts the countdown and tries again without passing any flags, the
flags set in .conf files will be used.
Some factorization was done in the process of enhancing boot-conf,
as it has been growing steadly as features are getting added, becoming
too big for a Forth word. It still could do with more factorization,
as a matter of fact.
Override the builtin "boot" with something based on boot-conf. It will
behave exactly like boot-conf, but booting directly instead of going
through autoboot.
Since we are now pairing kernel and module set in the same directory,
this change to boot makes sense.
load the modules needed according to a file relating module names
(actually, _file_ names, not really modules -- the dependency

But it still lacks a number of desired features, and it's too crude
for my tastes. But since I don't have time to work on it, it might
be preferable to make it available to those who might. It's not

such. Remove the need to a lot of ugly initialization.
Also, add a few structure definitions, from stuff used on the C
part of loader. Some of this will disappear, and the crude structure
support will most likely be replaced by full-blown OOP support
already present on FICL, but not installed by default. But it was
getting increasingly inconvenient to keep this separate on my tree,
and I already lost lots of work once because of the hurdles, so
commit this.
Anyway, it makes support.4th more structured, and I'm not proceeding

gets the name from the environment variable kernelname, which is set
when a kernel is loaded. For this reason, autoboot will _first_ try
to load a kernel, and only proceed with the wait prompt after that
succeeds. If it fails, it will abort immediately.
While I understand some may think this behavior undesirable, I think
it is, overall, the best thing to do, even if we do not consider the
aesthetic issue. Notice that anyone using the default loader.rc
already has the kernel loaded before autoboot.
On unload, unset kernelname.

to 0x600 via a 'rep movsw'. Once that was done, %cx was zero, so we could
simply use 'movb' to update the lower byte of %cx in preparation for
zeroing out the fake partition entry used to boot to other drives via F5.
Well, in the new boot0, we don't actually relocate ourselves, instead it
is easier to create the fake partition entry first and then just use it to
get the BIOS to load all of boot0 into memory at 0x600. However, since we
aren't doing the relocate code anymore, we don't know that %cx == 0 when
we hit the 'movb' to setup %cx for clearning the fake partition entry.
Thus, if %ch != 0 when the BIOS started boot0, then it would end up zeroing
a lot more memory than just 8 words. The solution is to do a word move of
$8 into %cx.

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8

Loader version 0.3+ required
Aborted!
start not found
Note that the 0.3+ message is from inside the arch-alpha block, not the
i386 block of code. And even then, 0.8 is higher than 0.3.
This prevents the rest of the loader.conf stuff working. :-/
Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the
resource table at boot time.
config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration
no longer has to be compiled into the kernel. You can reconfigure your
isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time:
set hint.ed.0.port=0x320
userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will
move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that.
It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel
if you do not wish to use loader(8). See the "hints" directive in GENERIC
as an example.
All device wiring has been moved out of config(8). There is a set of
helper scripts (see i386/conf/gethints.pl, and the same for alpha and pc98)
that extract the 'at isa? port foo irq bar' from the old files and produces
a hints file. If you install this file as /boot/device.hints (and update
/boot/defaults/loader.conf - You can do a build/install in sys/boot) then
loader will load it automatically for you. You can also compile in the
hints directly with: hints "device.hints" as well.
There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme,
things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings.
I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings
in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so
there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the
documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and
built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/
Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and
'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device'
takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically
allocated. eg: 'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set
to 4. You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3). Also note that
'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be
bad, so there is a config warning for this. This is only needed for
old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units.
All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.

from user mode. Don't disable interrupts when returning from vm86 mode
to user mode either. Now, we only disable interrupts before calling a
hardware interrupt handler, which is the only time we _should_ be
disabling interrupts.
Because of this, err, feature, any routine that one called in vm86 mode
had to re-enable interrupts by setting the interrupt flag or interrupts
would remain disabled even after the routine returned. For example, I
have a simple debugging routine that uses a vm86 mode function to dump
any arbitrary memory word that I use to read the BIOS timer or any other
memory location. This function does 1 load instruction from memory and
then returns. Since it didn't re-enable interrupts, the first time I
called it to read the BIOS timer, it disabled interrupts. This also
affected the PXE bootstrap as it needs interrupts enabled while it is
processing. This patch fixes both of those situations so that those
functions do not worry about having to enable interrupts. Hardware
interrupt handlers worked fine with the old code because they always
enable interrupts as part of their routine.
If you have any problems with the loader after this commit, please
let me know. I'd like to MFC it in a week or two since PXE support
needs it.
Noticed by: ps, Michael Johnston <michael.johnston@intel.com>
- Add support for using the PCI BIOS functions for configuration space
accesses, and make this the default.
- Make PNPBIOS the default (obsoletes the PNPBIOS config option).
- Add two new boot-time tunables to disable each of the above.
You may specify TFTP or NFS via compile time options in the loader,
but not both at this time.
Also, remove a warning about not knowing how to boot from network
devices. We can obviously do that now.
- Don't hard code 0x10000 as the entry point for the loader. Instead add
src/sys/boot/i386/Makefile.inc which defines a make variable with the
entry point for the loader. Move the loader's entry point up to
0x20000, which makes PXE happy.
- Don't try to use cpp to parse btxldr for the optional BTXLDR_VERBOSE,
instead use m4 to achieve this. Also, add a BTXLDR_VERBOSE knob in the
btxldr Makefile to turn this option on.
- Redo parts of cdldr's Makefile so that it now builds and installs cdboot
instead of having i386/loader/Makefile do that. Also, add in some more
variables to make the pxeldr Makefile almost identical and thus to ease
maintainability.
- Teach cdldr about the a.out format. Cdldr now parsers the a.out header
of the loader binary and relocates it based on that. The entry point of
the loader no longer has to be hardcoded into cdldr. Also, the boot
info table from mkisofs is no longer required to get a useful cdboot.
- Update the lsdev function for BIOS disks to parse other file systems
(such as DOS FAT) that we currently support. This is still buggy as
it assumes that a floppy with a DOS boot sector actually has a MBR and
parses it as such. I'll be fixing this in the future.
- The biggie: Add in support for booting off of PXE-enabled network
adapters. Currently, we use the TFTP API provided by the PXE BIOS.
Eventually we will switch to using the low-level NIC driver thus
allowing both TFTP and NFS to be used, but for now it's just TFTP.

1) Fix a bug in the int15 function 87 emulation where we only copied half
of what the BIOS asked for. This caused the Mylex RAID adapter to go
haywire and start trashing memory when you tried to boot from it.
2) Don't use interrupt 19 to reboot. Instead, set the reboot flag to a warm
boot and jump to the BIOS's reboot handler. int 19 doesn't clear memory
or restore the interrupt vector table, and thus really isn't safe. For
example, when booting off of PXE, the PXE BIOS eats up a chunk of memory
for its internal data and structures. Since we rebooted via int 19,
using the 'reboot' command in the loader resulted in that memory not
being reclaimed by the BIOS. Thus, after a few PXE boots, the system
was out of lower memory.
3) Catch any int 19 calls made by a BTX client or a user pressing
Ctrl-Alt-Delete and shutdown BTX and reboot the machine cleanly. This
fixes Ctrl-Alt-Delete in the loader and in boot2 instead of presenting
the user with a BTX fault.

beginning of the standard 3rd stage boot loader (/boot/loader) to form
the CD boot loader (/boot/cdboot). When a CD is booted, the cdboot file

environment normally provided by boot2 and then starts the loader. This
booting method does not emulate a floppy drive, but boots directly off of
the CD. This should fix the problems some BIOS's have with emulating a

USB-EL1202A chipset. Between this and the other two drivers, we should
have support for pretty much every USB ethernet adapter on the market.
The only other USB chip that I know of is the SMC USB97C196, and right
now I don't know of any adapters that use it (including the ones made
by SMC :/ ).
Note that the CATC chip supports a nifty feature: read and write combining.
This allows multiple ethernet packets to be transfered in a single USB
bulk in/out transaction. However I'm again having trouble with large
bulk in transfers like I did with the ADMtek chip, which leads me to
believe that our USB stack needs some work before we can really make
use of this feature. When/if things improve, I intend to revisit the
aue and cue drivers. For now, I've lost enough sanity points.

USB ethernet chip. Adapters that use this chip include the LinkSys
USB100TX. There are a few others, but I'm not certain of their
availability in the U.S. I used an ADMtek eval board for development.
Note that while the ADMtek chip is a 100Mbps device, you can't really
get 100Mbps speeds over USB. Regardless, this driver uses miibus to
allow speed and duplex mode selection as well as autonegotiation.
Building and kldloading the driver as a module is also supported.
Note that in order to make this driver work, I had to make what some
may consider an ugly hack to sys/dev/usb/usbdi.c. The usbd_transfer()
function will use tsleep() for synchronous transfers that don't complete
right away. This is a problem since there are times when we need to
do sync transfers from an interrupt context (i.e. when reading registers
from the MAC via the control endpoint), where tsleep() us a no-no.
My hack allows the driver to have the code poll for transfer completion
subject to the xfer->timeout timeout rather that calling tsleep().
This hack is controlled by a quirk entry and is only enabled for the
ADMtek device.
Now, I'm sure there are a few of you out there ready to jump on me
and suggest some other approach that doesn't involve a busy wait. The
only solution that might work is to handle the interrupts in a kernel
thread, where you may have something resembling a process context that
makes it okay to tsleep(). This is lovely, except we don't have any
mechanism like that now, and I'm not about to implement such a thing
myself since it's beyond the scope of driver development. (Translation:
I'll be damned if I know how to do it.) If FreeBSD ever aquires such
a mechanism, I'll be glad to revisit the driver to take advantage of
it. In the meantime, I settled for what I perceived to be the solution
that involved the least amount of code changes. In general, the hit
is pretty light.
Also note that my only USB test box has a UHCI controller: I haven't
I don't have a machine with an OHCI controller available.
Highlights:
- Updated usb_quirks.* to add UQ_NO_TSLEEP quirk for ADMtek part.
- Updated usbdevs and regenerated generated files
- Updated HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT files
- Updated sysinstall/device.c and userconfig.c
- Updated kernel configs -- device aue0 is commented out by default
- Updated /sys/conf/files
- Added new kld module directory
Files sysdep.[ch] are now in ${MACHINE_ARCH} subdirectory. Internal

Make rule for target testmain was greatly simplified, because it was
easier simplifying it than changing it to support the new location of
sysdep.[ch].

-fschedule-insns as it wasn't such a big win with 2.95 after all.
Add the *BIG* win "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2" optimiztion submitted by
Dima. GCC 2.95 ensures the stack frame is always properly [opitimally]
aligned by surrounding every function call by code simular to
"addl $-12, %esp" / "addl $12, %esp". Here we need the reduction in space,
with speed not an issue.
All Makefiles now use MACHINE_ARCH for the target architecture.
Unification is required for cross-building.

Remove some printf() calls, reduce size of buffers, and abbreviate

either one gives us an additional 32 bytes of additional space available
when using EGCS 1.1.2. With GCC 2.95.2 -fforce-addr gives us 12 more bytes,
and adding -fschedule-insns gives us an additional 4 bytes.

and will be doing away with currdev.

Memory" called as function 0x87 of interrupt 0x15. Since the Mylex RAID
adapter's BIOS used this function to access memory (actually PCI bus
space) beyond 16 MB, this patch also allows BTX to address all 4 Gig of
possible address space on i386+. Since the loader does not have room for
4 MB of page tables, this was done by turning off paging.
Paging was turned off via a compile time setting which defaults to off.
To enable paging, simply define the make variable PAGING.
rnordier might want to clean this up later.

With these changes plus the egcs fix I committed a few minutes ago,
"make -DWANT_AOUT world" works again. Most likely, "make upgrade"
is fixed too, though I haven't tested that.

Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
