an FDT. This is how Linux and OS X boot and can avoid some issues with
using Open Firmware at runtime. The code is highly experimental and disabled
by default; it can be turned on by setting the loader environment variable
"usefdt" to a non-NULL value.
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.

particular, allow loaders to define the name of the RC script the
interpreter needs to use. Use this new-found control to have the
PXE loader (when compiled with TFTP support and not NFS support)
read from ${bootfile}.4th, where ${bootfile} is the name of the
file fetched by the PXE firmware.
The normal startup process involves reading the following files:
1. /boot/boot.4th
2. /boot/loader.rc or alternatively /boot/boot.conf
When these come from a FreeBSD-defined file system, this is all
good. But when we boot over the network, subdirectories and fixed
file names are often painful to administrators and there's really
no way for them to change the behaviour of the loader.

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

when booting from ZFS turned out to also cause the boot path not being
adjusted if booting from CD-ROM with firmware versions that do not employ
the "cdrom" alias in that case. So shuffle the code around instead in order
to achieve the original intent. Ideally, we shouldn't fiddle with the boot
path when booting from UFS on a disk either; unfortunately, there doesn't
seem to be an universal way of telling disks and CD-ROMs apart, though. [1]

In zfs loader zfs device name format now is "zfs:pool/fs",
fully qualified file path is "zfs:pool/fs:/path/to/file"
loader allows accessing files from various pools and filesystems as well
as changing currdev to a different pool/filesystem.
zfsboot accepts kernel/loader name in a format pool:fs:path/to/file or,
as before, pool:path/to/file; in the latter case a default filesystem
is used (pool root or bootfs). zfsboot passes guids of the selected
pool and dataset to zfsloader to be used as its defaults.
zfs support should be architecture independent and is provided
in a separate library, but architectures wishing to use this zfs support
still have to provide some glue code and their devdesc should be
compatible with zfs_devdesc.
arch_zfs_probe method is used to discover all disk devices that may
be part of ZFS pool(s).
libi386 unconditionally includes zfs support, but some zfs-specific
functions are stubbed out as weak symbols. The strong definitions
are provided in libzfsboot.
This change mean that the size of i386_devspec becomes larger
to match zfs_devspec.
Backward-compatibility shims are provided for recently added sparc64
zfs boot support. Currently that architecture still works the old
way and does not support the new features.

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

the TLBs in order to get rid of the user mappings but instead traverse
them an flush only the latter like we also do for the Spitfire-class.
Also flushing the unlocked kernel entries can cause instant faults which
when called from within cpu_switch() are handled with the scheduler lock
held which in turn can cause timeouts on the acquisition of the lock by
other CPUs. This was easily seen with a 16-core V890 but occasionally
also happened with 2-way machines.
While at it, move the SPARC64-V support code entirely to zeus.c. This
causes a little bit of duplication but is less confusing than partially
using Cheetah-class bits for these.
- For SPARC64-V ensure that 4-Mbyte page entries are stored in the 1024-
entry, 2-way set associative TLB.
- In {d,i}tlb_get_data_sun4u() turn off the interrupts in order to ensure
that ASI_{D,I}TLB_DATA_ACCESS_REG actually are read twice back-to-back.

but also of different types, f.e. Sun Fire V890 can be equipped with a
mix of UltraSPARC IV and IV+ CPUs, requiring different MMU initialization
and different workarounds for model specific errata. Therefore move the
CPU implementation number from a global variable to the per-CPU data.
Functions which are called before the latter is available are passed the
implementation number as a parameter now.
OpenBSD and OpenSolaris do instead of fiddling with the MMUs ourselves.
Unlike direct access the firmware methods don't automatically use the
next free (?) TLB slot, instead the slot to be used has to be specified.
We allocate the TLB slots for the kernel top-down as OpenSolaris suggests
that the firmware will always allocate the ones for its own use bottom-up.
Besides being simpler, according to OpenBSD using the firmware methods is
required to allow booting on Sun Fire E10K with multi-systemboard domains.
of Sun Fire V1280 doesn't round up the size itself but instead lets
claiming of non page-sized amounts of memory fail.
- Change parameters and variables related to the TLB slots to unsigned
which is more appropriate.
- Search the whole OFW device tree instead of only the children of the
root nexus device for the BSP as starting with UltraSPARC IV the 'cpu'
nodes hang off of from 'cmp' (chip multi-threading processor) or 'core'
or combinations thereof. Also in large UltraSPARC III based machines
the 'cpu' nodes hang off of 'ssm' (scalable shared memory) nodes which
group snooping-coherency domains together instead of directly from the
nexus.
- Add support for UltraSPARC IV and IV+ BSPs. Due to the fact that these
are multi-core each CPU has two Fireplane config registers and thus the
module/target ID has to be determined differently so the one specific
to a certain core is used. Similarly, starting with UltraSPARC IV the
individual cores use a different property in the OFW device tree to
indicate the CPU/core ID as it no longer is in coincidence with the
shared slot/socket ID.
While at it additionally distinguish between CPUs with Fireplane and
JBus interconnects as these also use slightly different sizes for the
JBus/agent/module/target IDs.
- Check the return value of init_heap(). This requires moving it after
cons_probe() so we can panic when appropriate. This should be fine as
the PowerPC OFW loader uses that order for quite some time now.
by keeping it opened after the first open and closing it via the
cleanup handler when NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE is defined in order to
avoid the open-close-dance on every file access which with firmware
that for example performs an auto-negotiation on every open causes
netbooting to take horribly long. Basically the behavior with this
knob enabled resembles the one employed between r60506 and r177108
(and for sparc64 also again since r182919) with the addition that
the network device now is closed eventually before entering the
kernel and before rebooting. Actually I think this should be the
desired MI behavior, however the U-Boot loader actually requires
net_close() to be called after every transaction in order for some
local shutdown operations to be performed (and which I think thus
will break on concurrent opens, i.e. when netdev_opens is > 1, like
the loader does at least for disks when LOADER_GZIP_SUPPORT is
enabled).
- Use NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE to replace the hack, which artificially
increased netdev_opens for sparc64 in order to keep the network
device opened forever, as at least some firmware versions require
the network device to be closed eventually before entering the
kernel or otherwise will DMA received packets to stale memory.
The powerpc OFW loader probably wants NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE to be
set as well for the same reasons.

to synchronization needed after stores to internal ASIs in order
to make side-effects visible. This mainly requires the MEMBAR #Sync
after such stores to be replaced with a FLUSH. We use KERNBASE as
the address to FLUSH as it is guaranteed to not trap. Actually,
the USII synchronization rules also already require a FLUSH in
pretty much all of the cases changed.
We're also hitting an additional USIII synchronization rule which
requires stores to AA_IMMU_SFSR to be immediately followed by a DONE,
FLUSH or RETRY. Doing so triggers a RED state exception though so
leave the MEMBAR #Sync. Linux apparently also has gotten away with
doing the same for quite some time now, apart from the fact that
it's not clear to me why we need to clear the valid bit from the
SFSR in the first place.
