Implement simple chain loader in loader; this update does add chain command,
taking device or file as argument to load and start new boot loader.
In case of BIOS, the chain will read the boot block to address 0000:7c00 and
jumps on it. In case of UEFI, the chain command is to be used with efi
application, typically stored in EFI System Partition.
The update also does add simple menu entry, if the variable chain_disk is set.
The value of the variable chain_disk is used as argument for chain loading.

The current read from network is working from up to down - we have some
protocol needing the data from the network, so we build the buffer space
for that protocol, add the extra space for headers and pass this buffer
down to be filled by nif get call in hope, we have guessed the incoming
packet size right. Amazingly enough this approach mostly does work, but
not always...
So, this update does work from down to up - we allocate buffer (based
on MTU or frame size info), fill it up, and pass on for upper layers.
The obvious problem is that when we should free the buffer - if at all.
In the current implementation the upper layer will free the packet on error
or when the packet is no longer needed.
While working on the issue, the additional issue did pop up - the bios
implementation does not have generic get/put interface but is using pxe
udpsend/udpreceive instead. So the udp calls are gone and undi interface
is implemented instead. Which in turn means slight other changes as we
do not need to have duplicated pxe implementation and can just use dev_net.
To align packet content, the actual read from nic is using shifted buffer by
ETHER_ALIGN (2).

This patch adds a general mechanism for providing encryption keys to the
kernel from the boot loader. This is intended to enable GELI support at
boot time, providing a better mechanism for passing keys to the kernel
than environment variables. It is designed to be extensible to other
applications, and can easily handle multiple encrypted volumes with
different keys.
This mechanism is currently used by the pending GELI EFI work.
Additionally, this mechanism can potentially be used to interface with
GRUB, opening up options for coreboot+GRUB configurations with completely
encrypted disks.
Another benefit over the existing system is that it does not require
re-deriving the user key from the password at each boot stage.
Most of this patch was written by Eric McCorkle. It was extended by
Allan Jude with a number of minor enhancements and extending the keybuf
feature into boot2.
GELI user keys are now derived once, in boot2, then passed to the loader,
which reuses the key, then passes it to the kernel, where the GELI module
destroys the keybuf after decrypting the volumes.

FICL definitions not in ficl/ficl32 files broke this generally. This
makes that stuff conditional on BOOT_FORTH. Also, move definitions
related to the architecture (FICL_CPUARCH and friends) into
Makefile.ficl that all parts of the tree that include files with ficl
need to include (but only if MK_FORTH == yes). In addition, had to fix
library ordering issue with LIBSTAND to keep it last. Without boot
forth, there's no references to memset to bring in memset.o from
libstand.a to satisfy libgeliboot.a's use of it. Listing libstand last
solves this issue (and it's the proper place for libstand to boot).

bootloader. Implement the following routines:
pcibios-device-count count the number of instances of a devid
pcibios-read-config read pci config space
pcibios-write-config write pci config space
pcibios-find-devclass find the nth device with a given devclass
pcibios-find-device find the nth device with a given devid
pcibios-locator convert bus device function ti pcibios locator
These commands are thin wrappers over their PCI BIOS 2.1 counterparts. More
informaiton, such as it is, can be found in the standard.
Export a nunmber of pcibios.X variables into the environment to report
what the PCI IDENTIFY command returned.
Also implmenet a new command line primitive (pci-device-count), but don't
include it by default just yet, since it depends on the recently added
words and any errors here can render a system unbootable.
This is intended to allow the boot loader to do special things based
on the hardware it finds. This could be have special settings that are
optimized for the specific cards, or even loading special drivers. It
goes without saying that writing to pci config space should not be
done without a just cause and a sound mind.

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.
Reported by: kib
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
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

it does link under gcc is that gcc passes -L${WORLDTMP}/usr/lib twice,

This adds zfsloader which will be called by zfsboot/gptzfsboot code rather
than the tradional loader. This eliminates the need to set the
LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT variable in order to get a ZFS enabled loader.
Note however, that you must reinstall your bootcode (zfsboot/gptzfsboot)
in order for the boot process to use the new loader.
New installations will no longer be required to build a ZFS enabled
loader for a working ZFS boot system. Installing zfsboot/gptzfsboot is
sufficient for acknowledging the use of CDDL code and therefore the ZFS
enabled loader.

- Delegated Administration
Allows regular users to perform ZFS operations, like file system
creation, snapshot creation, etc.
- L2ARC
Level 2 cache for ZFS - allows to use additional disks for cache.
Huge performance improvements mostly for random read of mostly
static content.
- slog
Allow to use additional disks for ZFS Intent Log to speed up
operations like fsync(2).
- vfs.zfs.super_owner
Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored
on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.
- chflags(2)
Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.
- ZFSBoot
Support to boot off of ZFS pool. Not finished, AFAIK.

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

Perhaps pxeboot bootstrap can be fixed to handle this better.
