1c85e6a35d This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.

Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.

Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

e754a32842 Saved 176 bytes by compiling with -fno-guess-branch-probability. The
default of -fguess-branch-probablility causes time optimizations (?)
like rewriting `if (foo) x++;' as
`if (!foo) goto forth; back: ; ...; forth: x++; goto back;".  This is
pessimizes space especially well on i386's because one short branch
gets converted to 2 long ones.

Removed -fno-align-foo since it is implied by -Os.  Previous commit
messages seem to have overstated the new alignment bugs in gcc.  The
only case that affects boot2 is that -fno-align-functions (or
equivalently -falign-functions=1) actually gives -falign-functions=2.
This is caused by FUNCTION_BOUNDARY being 2 (bytes) instead of 1.
The default case where the optimization level is 1 and no alignment
options are given is more broken.  All alignments are minimal, modulo
the bug in FUNCTION_BOUNDARY.  This is caused by toplev.c setting
defaults too early.

Some hacks in previous commits ar not needed now, but may as well be
kept until gcc is fixed.  The previous on in the Makefile saved 96
bytes of text due to the wrong FUNCTION_BOUNDARY and 32 bytes of data
due to unrelated bloat in the alignment of large objects.  There aren't
even any options to control alignment of data.

7a163a83da Use a crowbar and duct-tape to make boot2 fit again. This gets it down
to 4 bytes free.  I removed a printf (the Keyboard yes/no) since it is of
marginal value and sed'ed the generated asm output to remove the unwanted
aligns.  There's probably a better way to gain a few extra bytes than
losing the printf.  Shortening strings is probably a better option but this
should get us over the hurdle.

88f0d73da4 - Axe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 as -Os turns this on by default.
- Axe -fdata-sections as turning it on or off makes no difference.  If
  it did make a difference it would serve to bloat boot2 even further with
  extra padding.
- Axe -fforce-addr.  This gets us 32 bytes so we are down to only being
  64-bytes over.

We still can't compile this with gcc 3.1.  The problem seems to be that
the -fno-align-foo options don't actually work.  Comparing the new and
old output it turns out that gcc is 4-byte padding all the functions and
labels and what not despite the passed in arguments thus adding the
unfortunate bloat to boot2.

fb74e5f595 Add splitfs vfs layer into libstand, which allows loading big kernels and
modules split across several physical medias. Following is how it works:

The splitfs code, when asked to open "foo" looks for a file "foo.split"
which is a text file containing a list of filenames and media names, e.g.

	foo.aa "Kernel floppy 1"
	foo.ab "Kernel floppy 2"
	foo.ac "Kernel and modules floppy"

For each file segment, the process is:

- try to open the file
- prompt "Insert the disk labelled <whatever> and press any key..."
- try to open the file
- return error if file could not be located

RE team is free to use this feature in the upcoming 5.0-DP1.

870fb18bc1 Oops, the previous revision (1.35) broke booting from floppies
because the buffers we use could end up spanning a 64k boundary.
Unfortunately it causes too much bloat (228 -> 72 bytes free) to
just reinstate the old malloc() function.

Instead, define a structure that contains all 4 buffers which must
not cross 64k boundaries. We allocate a 64k-aligned instance in
main() using the magic that was in the old boot2 malloc() function.
This brings the free space down to 168 bytes, but that is still
better than it was before revision 1.35 (136 bytes).

5af9115c77 This is a new CD bootstrap utility designed to replace cdldr. According
to the El Torito standard for CD booting, a CD may boot in "No emulation"
mode without using a floppy image.  In this mode, the BIOS loads a program
off of the CD into memory and creates a BIOS device using 2048 byte sectors
for the CD.  According to the standard, this program can be up to 0xFFFF
virtual (512-byte) sectors long.  The old cdldr depended on this by having
the BIOS load the entire loader and the small cdldr stub as one binary
similar to pxeboot so that cdldr didn't have to read the CD to find the
loader.  However, the NT no emulation loader just uses 1 disk sector
(4 virtual sectors), so it seems that at least some BIOS writers just did
enough to get NT to boot by only loading 1 sector and ignoring the sector
count.  Thus, while cdldr should have worked in theory, it doesn't in
practice.  This replacment fits entirely in 1 sector and includes simple
ISO 9660 support.  It looks for /boot/loader on the CD and loads it up
using the BIOS.  This allows us to not have to depend on the limited size
of floppy images but use a full GENERIC kernel for CD-ROM installs in the
future, among other things.

This version of cdboot is a bit bloated as it includes some useful
debugging routines that people can pull to use in other x86 assembly
modules.  Even with all the debugging cruft, we still have 272 bytes to
spare.

ce4c60d38d Fix the ILLEGAL fdisk table that is there for supporting "dangerously

nightmare.

This is also most likely the reason why the Thinkpad T20/A20 series

reason why a boot1 being present causes an IA64 box to lock up at boot.

Please note, that due to limit on the amount of memory available to the
loader(8), it is possible to load modules/kernels compressed with the smallest
block size supported by the bzip2 - 100k (`-1' bzip2(1) option), however
even in this mode bzip2(1) usually provides better compression ratio than
gzip(1) in its best compression mode.

b0606ca15f Add in a hack to support IBM "El Torito" CD-ROM booting BIOS's which expect
the first sector of the emulated floppy to contain a valid MS-DOS BPB that
it can modify.  Since boot1 is the first sector of boot.flp, this resulted
in the BIOS overwriting part of boot1: specifically the function used to
read in sectors from the disk.

5e6220d9d0 * include/elf.h has been repo copied to include/elf-hints.h, and it no
longer includes machine/elf.h.
* consumers of elf.h now use the minimalist elf header possible.

This change is motivated by Binutils 2.11.0 and too much clashing over
our base elf headers and the Binutils elf headers.

b833d157c7 Always disable paging when exiting back to real mode after receiving a
fatal trap.  Also, reload the GDT register to point to BTX's GDT before
playing around with the segment registers to return to real mode.  This is
helpful if the kernel causes a fatal exception before it has setup its own
IDT and fault handlers.  For example, if one happens to break mtx_init().
Without these changes BTX would recursively page fault (if paging was not
disabled) or triple fault and reset the CPU (without the GDT reload)
instead of providing a potentially useful register dump.

8c964b9bca Go back to occupying just a single sector, reverting r1.17 - r1.20.
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.

Since we need a number of further features (eg. handling extended
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
here.
