in pc98 kernels to report geometry of the drives. It can be safely
removed as booting kernels this old is no longer supported. This saves
176 bytes in the BIOS loader.

This corrects an issue introduced in b4cb3fe0e3, where a freshly
allocated `DOS_FS` structure would not be initialized properly before
use in `dos_open`.
In case of FAT32 file systems, this would leave `fs->dirents`
uninitialized and - depending on its content and due to checks in
`parsebs` - prevent mounting the file system successfully.
This particularily impacted the EFI loader, as it was sometimes not
able to read files from a FAT32-formatted EFI partition, including
LoaderEnv (`/efi/freebsd/loader.env`).

Normally in the boot loader, we key off of MACHINE since that specifies
the kernel and the loader is very tuned to each type of MACHINE in
general. In this case, however, we're producing a Linux binary, with
Linux system calls encoded in it. These align better along the
MACHINE_ARCH axis of FreeBSD. For PowerPC the system calls are radically
different for each of our MACHINE_ARCHes, with only powerpc64 and
powerpc64le sharing the same numbers and memory layout. The same was
true about mips when it was in the tree. 32-bit arm uses the same
layout, however, for both armv6 and armv7 ports: that can be easily
shared in the unlikely event we support that in the future.

It is desirable to run kboot as the first program in some LinuxBoot
environments. This is the traditional "pid 1" or "init" program. When
running as pid 1. rovide a minimal environment based on what sysvinit,
u-root, initramfs-tools and other like projects do. We mount /dev, /sys,
/proc, make symlinks from /dev/fd to /dev/proc, and create /tmp, /run,
and /var. We also setup stdin/out/err to the console, set the tty
characteristics of same and block the appropriate signals.
This is indended as an environment that never does a fork/exec. If
that's required, the process groups, session leaders and all things
POSIX terminal handlers will need to be added.
Unlike the general purpose linux projects in this area, no attempt is
made to support very old kernels.
When not pid 1, we skip all of the above.

When ConOut is missing, we used to default to serial. Except we did it
in the worst way possible by just setting the howto bits and not
updating the console setting, which lead to weird behavior where we'd
get some things on the video port, others on serial.
Instead, set console to "efi,comconsole" for this case. Also set
RB_MULTIPLE always (so we get dual consoles from the kernel) and or in
RB_SERIAL when we can't find GOPs that suggest the precense of a video
console. This will put output in the most places and have a sensible

The boot loader should look in the standard places for the UFS
superblock, but not go too far into the speculative realm. Supress
errors about hash being invalid, which will allow us to boot, even when
the superblock looks good, but fails the hash test. This defers any
policy decisions about booting and/or recovery to userland. This also
has the side effect of eliminating some rather spammy messages when UFS
searches devices with filesystems that are not UFS...

The commit message documented it as /etc/src.conf but the comment in the
source mentioned the non-existent /etc/loader.conf.
Fixes: f8a199f28f ("stand: Raise limit to 550,000 bytes for loader")
into ffs_sbsearch() to allow use by other parts of the system.
Historically only fsck_ffs(8), the UFS filesystem checker, had code
to track down and use alternate UFS superblocks. Since fsdb(8) used
much of the fsck_ffs(8) implementation it had some ability to track
down alternate superblocks.
This change extracts the code to track down alternate superblocks
from fsck_ffs(8) and puts it into a new function ffs_sbsearch() in
sys/ufs/ffs/ffs_subr.c. Like ffs_sbget() and ffs_sbput() also found
in ffs_subr.c, these functions can be used directly by the kernel
subsystems. Additionally they are exported to the UFS library,
libufs(8) so that they can be used by user-level programs. The new
functions added to libufs(8) are sbfind(3) that is an alternative
to sbread(3) and sbsearch(3) that is an alternative to sbget(3).
See their manual pages for further details.
The utilities that have been changed to search for superblocks are
dumpfs(8), fsdb(8), ffsinfo(8), and fsck_ffs(8). Also, the prtblknos(8)
tool found in tools/diag/prtblknos searches for superblocks.
The UFS specific mount code uses the superblock search interface
when mounting the root filesystem and when the administrator doing
a mount(8) command specifies the force flag (-f). The standalone UFS
boot code (found in stand/libsa/ufs.c) uses the superblock search
code in the hope of being able to get the system up and running so
that fsck_ffs(8) can be used to get the filesystem cleaned up.
The following utilities have not been changed to search for
superblocks: clri(8), tunefs(8), snapinfo(8), fstyp(8), quot(8),
dump(8), fsirand(8), growfs(8), quotacheck(8), gjournal(8), and
glabel(8). When these utilities fail, they do report the cause of
the failure. The one exception is the tasting code used to try and
figure what a given disk contains. The tasting code will remain
silent so as not to put out a slew of messages as it trying to taste
every new mass storage device that shows up.

The BIOS loader operates in a very constrained environment. The messages
for the super block integrity tests take up about 12k of space. Compile
them out for the BIOS loader, while leaving it intact for all other
loaders that aren't space constrained. These aren't used in the 'super
tiny' *boot* programs, so no adjustment is needed there.
We reply on the fact that (a) i386 doesn't support 32-bit UEFI booting
and (b) LIBSA_CPUARCH is "i386" when building on both i386 and when
we're building the 32-bit libsa32 library.
This saves about 12k of space for this constrained envrionment and will
take a bit of the pressure off some machines where the loader has grown
too big for their BIOS (see comments in i386/loader/Makefile for
details).

Raise the limit for /boot/loader to be 550k. The IBM PC imposes a limit
of 640k of RAM below 1MB, which is needed for real mode calls. BTX takes
40k of that. The BIOS takes some amount (25k seems a good "99% take less
than or equal to this" estimate for that, though some systems consume
more). Most typical setups need 25k of stack. This leaves 550k for
code. We set the limit to 550,000 which gives about an extra 13,000
bytes of buffer for machines that whose setups use a little more stack
or whose BIOS reserves a bit more...
Add this derivation in the Makefile. Also recommend setting LOADERSIZE
lower in /etc/src.conf when the loader has to run on a system whose BIOS
takes up more space, or for a complex setup. Add a recipe for how to
find how much RAM your BIOS uses as well (thanks to jhb@ for the
trick). Network cards that boot via PXE and HBAs with their BIOS enabled
are known to be large consumers of lomem space.

Turns out there's two hidden a.out dependencies. pxeldr.S assumes it has

/boot/loader is also a.out and doesn't use boot2.
So, go back to making a.out files for these and adjust the size checks
to use ls, but we only need to check loader.bin. Trim the size we check
against by 2,000. The difference in size between loader and loader.bin
is about 3000 bytes, but clang15 produces binaries that are a smidge
bigger so we need to relax the check just a little and accept some
additional risk for the moment.
