Implement a subset of the multiboot specification in order to boot Xen
and a FreeBSD Dom0 from the FreeBSD bootloader. This multiboot
implementation is tailored to boot Xen and FreeBSD Dom0, and it will
most surely fail to boot any other multiboot compilant kernel.
In order to detect and boot the Xen microkernel, two new file formats
are added to the bootloader, multiboot and multiboot_obj. Multiboot
support must be tested before regular ELF support, since Xen is a
multiboot kernel that also uses ELF. After a multiboot kernel is
detected, all the other loaded kernels/modules are parsed by the
multiboot_obj format.
The layout of the loaded objects in memory is the following; first the
Xen kernel is loaded as a 32bit ELF into memory (Xen will switch to
long mode by itself), after that the FreeBSD kernel is loaded as a RAW
file (Xen will parse and load it using it's internal ELF loader), and
finally the metadata and the modules are loaded using the native
FreeBSD way. After everything is loaded we jump into Xen's entry point
using a small trampoline. The order of the multiboot modules passed to
Xen is the following, the first module is the RAW FreeBSD kernel, and
the second module is the metadata and the FreeBSD modules.
Since Xen will relocate the memory position of the second
multiboot module (the one that contains the metadata and native
FreeBSD modules), we need to stash the original modulep address inside
of the metadata itself in order to recalculate its position once
booted. This also means the metadata must come before the loaded
modules, so after loading the FreeBSD kernel a portion of memory is
reserved in order to place the metadata before booting.
In order to tell the loader to boot Xen and then the FreeBSD kernel the
following has to be added to the /boot/loader.conf file:
xen_cmdline="dom0_mem=1024M dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0pvh=1 console=com1,vga"
xen_kernel="/boot/xen"
The first argument contains the command line that will be passed to the Xen
kernel, while the second argument is the path to the Xen kernel itself. This
can also be done manually from the loader command line, by for example
typing the following set of commands:
OK unload
OK load /boot/xen dom0_mem=1024M dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0pvh=1 console=com1,vga
OK load kernel
OK load zfs
OK load if_tap
OK load ...
OK boot

on i386 PAE. Previously, VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE could not be used on amd64 and
i386 because vm_page_startup() would not create vm_page structures for the
kernel page table pages allocated during pmap_bootstrap() but those vm_page
structures are needed when the kernel attempts to promote the corresponding
kernel virtual addresses to superpage mappings. To address this problem, a
new public function, vm_phys_add_seg(), is introduced and vm_phys_init() is
updated to reflect the creation of vm_phys_seg structures by calls to

store saved FPU state in a variable-sized buffer after the PCB on the

- To support the variable PCB location, alter the locore code to only use
the bottom-most page of proc0stack for init386(). init386() returns
the correct stack pointer to locore which adjusts the stack for thread0
before calling mi_startup().
- Don't bother setting cr3 in thread0's pcb in locore before calling

it doesn't work with the variable-sized FPU save area.

When the FreeBSD kernel is loaded from Xen the symtab and strtab are
not loaded the same way as the native boot loader. This patch adds
three new global variables to ddb that can be used to specify the
exact position and size of those tables, so they can be directly used
as parameters to db_add_symbol_table. A new helper is introduced, so callers
that used to set ksym_start and ksym_end can use this helper to set the new
variables.
It also adds support for loading them from the Xen PVH port, that was
previously missing those tables.
