common code, the non-trivial part is #ifdef'ed and only executes when
loading amd64 kernels. The rest is trivial but needed for the the amd64
case. (Two variables changed from char ** to Elf_Addr).
Approved by: re (amd64 "low-risk" stuff)
things over floppy size limits, I can exclude it for release builds or
something like that. Most of the changes are to get the load_elf.c file
into a seperate elf32_ or elf64_ namespace so that you can have two
ELF loaders present at once. Note that for 64 bit kernels, it actually
starts up the kernel already in 64 bit mode with paging enabled. This
is really easy because we have a known minimum feature set.
Of note is that for amd64, we have to pass in the bios int 15 0xe821
memory map because once in long mode, you absolutely cannot make VM86
calls. amd64 does not use 'struct bootinfo' at all. It is a pure loader
metadata startup, just like sparc64 and powerpc. Much of the
infrastructure to support this was adapted from sparc64.
Move the remaining bits of <sys/diskslice.h> to <i386/include/bootinfo.h>
Move i386/pc98 specific bits from <sys/reboot.h> to
<i386/include/bootinfo.h> as well.
Adjust includes in sys/boot accordingly.
can seek back to the first PT_LOAD and doing a close/reopen if it cannot.
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
for the Alpha.
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.
- get dependency info from PT_DYNAMIC's DT_NEEDED tags.
- store MODINFOMD_DYNAMIC for the kernel's later use
setenv kernelname when we have it
Fix firstaddr/lastaddr calculation (duh! :-)
Explicitly skip string table with section names in it.
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.
