Also, unbreak the breakage introduced at the last revision of module.c.
This changes the semantics of mod_searchfile() (and mod_searchmodule())
to make the caller's responsibility freeing the buffer returned. This
is different from other functions in loader's code, and was done as a
fix for kern/9631. If someone wants to revert this to the original
behavior, don't forget to fix kern/9631 in another way.
This should also fix bin/10462, which was introduced as a result of the
first try at kern/9631 (module.c last revision).

Change include() so it will be able to load files with forth code,
instead of just builtins. Remove #@- from the include section of the
help file, since they don't work in the new version of include, unless
BOOT_FORTH is not defined.
Change bf_run() so it will return the result returned by ficlExec(). Also,
make bf_run() push "interpret" to be executed by ficlExec(), since ficlExec()
doesn't do it by itself. (Things worked previously because nothing
recursed through ficlExec() by the way of bf_run()).

the first time block 0 is read. This fix initialises the block
numbers to -1 which isn't the most correct thing for a daddr_t but
it isn't likely to cause a problem in the boot blocks and it could
do with a more thought out fix later.
The bug is probably benign on the i386 but on the alpha it can
cause initial file opens to fail. This is the cause of the "can't
open /boot/boot.conf" errors.
It appears on the alpha because of a number of combining factors.
On the alpha the LABELSECTOR is 0 so block 0 needs to be read in
from the media. The first time this happens you get a false hit
because the bc_blkno field is zero initially. Also, the timestamp
check against this cache hit succeeds because on the alpha a hacked
getsecs() function can return 0 when it starts counting so that
the zero initial timestamp + BCACHE_TIMEOUT is greater than the
current time until getsecs() has counted passed BCACHE_TIMEOUT.
The overall effect is that the first open() that occurs gets a
false cache hit and returns garbage to the bd_strategy() function
which then fails the open() call. This false hit then stays in the
cache until BCACHE_TIMEOUT getsecs() ticks have passed; all open()
calls during this time fail.
This explains why you can generally access the media by the time
you get to interp() and start issuing commands but the earlier
attempts to run the boot scripts are failing.
It's possible that this is causing the problem switching to the
mfsroot floppy as well but I haven't confirmed that.
o Add fexists word to check for the presence of a file
o make fexists and fload immediate words which DTRT both interpreted
and compiled (doh!)
o add an init word which gets run at bootstrapping time to do extra
post-coldload initialization (in the default implementation, we
look for /boot/boot.4th and load it if found).

and will bypass transfers for more than 8k. Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.
The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.
Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

This is because the first PT_LOAD section includes the ELF headers.
This fixes gzipped kernels on the i386, it should solve mike's problem

Drastically quieten down the verbose load progress messages. They were
more useful for debugging than anything, but are beyond a joke when loading
a few dozen modules.
Simplify the ELF extended symbol table load format. Just take the main
symbol table and the string table that corresponds. This is what we will
be getting local symbols from. (needed for the alpha stack tracebacks).
Use the (optional) full symbol tables in lookups. This means we have to
furhter distinguish between symbols that can come from the dynamic linking
table and the complete table.
The alpha boot code now needs to be adapted as ddb/db_elf.c cannot use
the simpler format.
I have not implemented loading the extended symbol tables from the syscall
interface yet, just for preloaded modules.
I am not sure about the symbol resolution. I *think* it's possible that
a local symbol can be found in preference to a global, depending on the
search sequence and dependency tree.

Don't strdup a potentially NULL return from getenv().

The env_setenv() function needs EV_VOLATILE because it's pointing to

Remove Mike's explicit data structures for dependency info. This is

Remove debugging in command_read().
Correctly strip leading controls on script commands.
Make 'ls' more DWIM in regard to pathnames. We can still do better.
- Don't whine about nodes we can't stat(); these are usually
symlinks that lead out of the filesystem.
- Autoboot is now controlled by $autoboot_delay, which is a value
in seconds or NO to disable autoboot.
- Don't autoboot at the end of boot.conf if we have already tried.
- Add a 'read' command to complement 'echo'. Both are still hidden.
- Improve the 'source' command/function so that it is possible to
source scripts off removable media. The entire script is read and
saved before beginning execution. Script lines beginning with
'@' will not be echoed when being executed. Script execution will
normally terminate at the first error, however if the script line
begins with '-' this behaviour is overriden for that command.
Increase the robustness of the "is it time to boot yet" test;
if the time skipped the "when" time, we would miss it.
Don't spin in an endless loop if we don't find the first possible

of the ..umm.. "wierd" way binutils lays out the file. The section
headers are nearly at the end of the file and this is a problem when
loading from a .gz file which can't seek backwards (or has a limited
reverse seek, ~2K from memory).
This is intended to be compatable with the ddb/db_elf.c code and the
alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c layout. I've studied these (which are NetBSD
derived) but did it a bit differently. Naturally the process is similar
since it's supposed to end up with the same result.
so far, and should probably be able to be made to work for the alpha
without too much trouble once it's connected up and my assumptions tested.
I think (but have not tested) it will also load "old" ELF kernels that
were not linked with DYNAMIC headers.
The module glue is yet to come. (oh fun.. :-)
It does not explicitly load symbols [yet]. The _DYNAMIC data contains a
runtime symbol set that ddb can use via ddb/db_kld.c. It'll be missing
some detail that stabs normally provides (eg: number of args to a function,
line numbers, etc). On the other hand, those minimal symbols will always
be available even on a stripped kernel.
This is mostly stolen from load_aout.c with some ideas from
alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c.

- Discard large amounts of BIOS-related code in favour of the more compact
BTX vm86 interface.
- Build the loader module as ELF, although the resulting object is a.out,
make gensetdefs 32/64-bit sensitive and use a single copy of it.
- Throw away installboot, as it's no longer required.
- Use direct bcopy operations in the i386_copy module, as BTX
maps the first 16M of memory. Check operations against the
detected size of actual memory.
- Use format-independant module allocator.
- Conditionalise ISA PnP support.
- Simplify PnP enumerator interface.
- Improve module/object searching.
- Add missing depend/install targets in BTX makefiles.
- Pass the kernel environment and module data in extended bootinfo fields.
- Add a pointer to the end of the kernel + modules in bootinfo.
- Fix parsing of old-style kernel arguments.
- Move some startup code from MD to MI sections
- Add a 'copyout' and some copyout-related functions. These will be
obsoleted when BTX is available for the 386 and the kernel load
area becomes directly addressable.
- Add the ability load an arbitrary file as a module, associating
and arbitrary type string with it. This can be used eg. for loading
splash-screen images etc.
- Add KLD module dependancy infrastructure. We know how to look for
dependancies inside KLD modules, how to resolve these dependancies
and what to do if things go wrong. Only works for a.out at the
moment, due to lack of an MI ELF loader. Attach KLD module information
to loaded modules as metadata, but don't pass it to the kernel (it
can find it itself).
- Load a.out KLD modules on a page boundary. Only pad the a.out BSS
for the kernel, as it may want to throw symbols away. (We might want
to do this for KLD modules too.)
- Allow commands to be hidden from the '?' display, to avoid cluttering
it with things like 'echo'. Add 'echo'.
- Bring the 'prompt' command into line with the parser syntax.
- Fix the verbose 'ls'; it was using an uninitialised stack variable.
- Add a '-v' flag to 'lsmod' to have it display module metadata as well
(not terribly useful for the average user)
- Support a 'module searchpath' for required modules.
- The bootstrap file on i386 is now called 'loader' to permit the
/boot directory to use that name.
- Discard the old i386 pread() function, as it's replaced by
arch_readin()
- Implement a new copyin/readin interface for loading modules.
This allows the module loaders to become MI, reducing code duplication.
- Simplify the search for an image activator for the loaded kernel.
- Use the common module management code for all module metadata.
- Add an 'unload' command that throws everything away.
- Move the a.out module loader to MI code, add support for a.out
kld modules.

'three-stage' bootstrap.
There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state:
- The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy.
- The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended
information and module summary passed in.
- PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented.
- i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet.
- The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap.
On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is
supported. No blockmaps are used by this code.
Obtained from: Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.
