Normally in the boot loader, we key off of MACHINE since that specifies
the kernel and the loader is very tuned to each type of MACHINE in
general. In this case, however, we're producing a Linux binary, with
Linux system calls encoded in it. These align better along the
MACHINE_ARCH axis of FreeBSD. For PowerPC the system calls are radically
different for each of our MACHINE_ARCHes, with only powerpc64 and
powerpc64le sharing the same numbers and memory layout. The same was
true about mips when it was in the tree. 32-bit arm uses the same
layout, however, for both armv6 and armv7 ports: that can be easily
shared in the unlikely event we support that in the future.

It is desirable to run kboot as the first program in some LinuxBoot
environments. This is the traditional "pid 1" or "init" program. When
running as pid 1. rovide a minimal environment based on what sysvinit,
u-root, initramfs-tools and other like projects do. We mount /dev, /sys,
/proc, make symlinks from /dev/fd to /dev/proc, and create /tmp, /run,
and /var. We also setup stdin/out/err to the console, set the tty
characteristics of same and block the appropriate signals.
This is indended as an environment that never does a fork/exec. If
that's required, the process groups, session leaders and all things
POSIX terminal handlers will need to be added.
Unlike the general purpose linux projects in this area, no attempt is
made to support very old kernels.
When not pid 1, we skip all of the above.

The boot loader should look in the standard places for the UFS
superblock, but not go too far into the speculative realm. Supress
errors about hash being invalid, which will allow us to boot, even when
the superblock looks good, but fails the hash test. This defers any
policy decisions about booting and/or recovery to userland. This also

The commit message documented it as /etc/src.conf but the comment in the
source mentioned the non-existent /etc/loader.conf.
Fixes: f8a199f28f ("stand: Raise limit to 550,000 bytes for loader")
into ffs_sbsearch() to allow use by other parts of the system.
Historically only fsck_ffs(8), the UFS filesystem checker, had code
to track down and use alternate UFS superblocks. Since fsdb(8) used
much of the fsck_ffs(8) implementation it had some ability to track
down alternate superblocks.
This change extracts the code to track down alternate superblocks
from fsck_ffs(8) and puts it into a new function ffs_sbsearch() in
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_subr.c. Like ffs_sbget() and ffs_sbput() also found
in ffs_subr.c, these functions can be used directly by the kernel
subsystems. Additionally they are exported to the UFS library,
libufs(8) so that they can be used by user-level programs. The new
functions added to libufs(8) are sbfind(3) that is an alternative
to sbread(3) and sbsearch(3) that is an alternative to sbget(3).
See their manual pages for further details.
The utilities that have been changed to search for superblocks are
dumpfs(8), fsdb(8), ffsinfo(8), and fsck_ffs(8). Also, the prtblknos(8)
tool found in tools/diag/prtblknos searches for superblocks.
The UFS specific mount code uses the superblock search interface
when mounting the root filesystem and when the administrator doing
a mount(8) command specifies the force flag (-f). The standalone UFS
boot code (found in stand/libsa/ufs.c) uses the superblock search
code in the hope of being able to get the system up and running so
that fsck_ffs(8) can be used to get the filesystem cleaned up.
The following utilities have not been changed to search for
superblocks: clri(8), tunefs(8), snapinfo(8), fstyp(8), quot(8),
dump(8), fsirand(8), growfs(8), quotacheck(8), gjournal(8), and
glabel(8). When these utilities fail, they do report the cause of
the failure. The one exception is the tasting code used to try and
figure what a given disk contains. The tasting code will remain
silent so as not to put out a slew of messages as it trying to taste
every new mass storage device that shows up.

The BIOS loader operates in a very constrained environment. The messages

We reply on the fact that (a) i386 doesn't support 32-bit UEFI booting

we're building the 32-bit libsa32 library.

Raise the limit for /boot/loader to be 550k. The IBM PC imposes a limit
of 640k of RAM below 1MB, which is needed for real mode calls. BTX takes
40k of that. The BIOS takes some amount (25k seems a good "99% take less
than or equal to this" estimate for that, though some systems consume
more). Most typical setups need 25k of stack. This leaves 550k for
code. We set the limit to 550,000 which gives about an extra 13,000
bytes of buffer for machines that whose setups use a little more stack
or whose BIOS reserves a bit more...
Add this derivation in the Makefile. Also recommend setting LOADERSIZE
lower in /etc/src.conf when the loader has to run on a system whose BIOS
takes up more space, or for a complex setup. Add a recipe for how to

The BIOS method of booting imposes an absolute limit of 640k for the
size of the program being run due to btx. In practice, this means that
programs larger than about 500kiB will fail in odd ways as the stack /
heap will overflow.
Pick 510,000 as the cutoff line semi-arbitrarily. loader_lua is now
almost too big and we want to break the build when it crosses this
threshold. In my experience, below 500,000 always works, above 520,000
always seems to fail with things getting bad somewhere between 512,000
to 515,000. 510,000 is as close to the line as I think we can go, though
experience may dictate we need to lower this in the future.
This is at-best a stop-breakage until we have a better way to subset the
boot loader for BIOS booting to allow better, more fined-tuned
/boot/loaders for the many different environments they have to run
in. This likely means we'll have a graphical loader than understands a
few filesystmes for installation, and a non-graphical loader that
understands the most filesystems possible for everything else in the
future. Our build infrastructure needs some work before we can do that,
however.
At this late date, it likely isn't worth the efforts to move parts of
the loader into high memory. There's a number of assumptions about where
the stack is, where buffers reside, etc that are fulfilled when it lives
in the first 640k that would need bounce buffers and/or other counter
measures if we were to split it up. All BIOS calls are done in 16-bit
mode with SEG:OFF addresses, requiring them to be in the first 640k of
RAM. And nearly all machines in the last decade can boot with UEFI
(though there's some exceptions, so it isn't worth killing outright
yet).

Rather than trying to shoehorn flags into the requested superblock
address, create a separate flags parameter to the ffs_sbget()
function in sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_subr.c. The ffs_sbget() function is
used both in the kernel and in user-level utilities through export
to the sbget() function in the libufs(3) library (see sbget(3)
for details). The kernel uses ffs_sbget() when mounting UFS
filesystems, in the glabel(8) and gjournal(8) GEOM utilities,
and in the standalone library used when booting the system
from a UFS root filesystem.
The ffs_sbget() function reads the superblock located at the byte
offset specified by its sblockloc parameter. The value UFS_STDSB
may be specified for sblockloc to request that the standard
location for the superblock be read.
The two existing options are now flags:
UFS_NOHASHFAIL will note if the check hash is wrong but will still
return the superblock. This is used by the bootstrap code to
give the system a chance to come up so that fsck can be run to
correct the problem.
UFS_NOMSG indicates that superblock inconsistency error messages
should not be printed. It is used by programs like fsck that
want to print their own error message and programs like glabel(8)
that just want to know if a UFS filesystem exists on a partition.
One additional flag is added:
UFS_NOCSUM causes only the superblock itself to be returned, but does
not read in any auxiliary data structures like the cylinder group
summary information. It is used by clients like glabel(8) that
just want to check for possible filesystem types. Using UFS_NOCSUM
skips the superblock checks for csum data which allows superblocks
that have corrupted csum data to be read and used.
The validate_sblock() function checks that the superblock has not
been corrupted in a way that can crash or hang the system. Unless
the UFS_NOMSG flag is specified, it will print out any errors that
it finds. Prior to this commit, validate_sblock() returned as soon
as it found an inconsistency so would print at most one message.
It now does all its checks so when UFS_NOMSG has not been specified
will print out everything that it finds inconsistent.
