- convert boot1.efi to corrrectly calculate the lba for what the
media reports and convert the size based on what FreeBSD uses.
The existing code would use the 512 byte lba and convert the
size using 4K byte size.
- make fsck_msdosfs read the boot block as 4K so the read doesn't
fail on a 4Kn drive since FreeBSD will error out parition reads
of a block. Make the bpbBytesPerSec check a multiple of 512 since
it can be 512 or 4K depending on the disk. This allows fsck to
pass checking the EFI partition on a 4Kn disk.
To create the EFI file system I used:
newfs_msdos -F 32 -S 4096 -c 1 -m 0xf8 <partition>
This works for booting 512 and 4Kn disks.
Caveat is that loader.efi cannot read the 4Kn EFI partition. This isn't
critical right now since boot1.efi will read loader.efi from the ufs
partition. It looks like loader.efi can be fixed via making some of the
512 bytes reads more flexible. loader.efi doesn't have trouble reading
the ufs partition. This is probably a simple fix.
I now have FreeBSD installed on a system with 4Kn drives and tested the
same code works on 512.

This involves:
1. Have the loader pass the start and size of the .ctors section to the
kernel in 2 new metadata elements.
2. Have the linker backends look for and record the start and size of
the .ctors section in dynamically loaded modules.
3. Have the linker backends call the constructors as part of the final
work of initializing preloaded or dynamically loaded modules.
Note that LLVM appends the priority of the constructors to the name of
the .ctors section. Not so when compiling with GCC. The code currently
works for GCC and not for LLVM.

The powerpc support was the only supported architecture not prepending the elf format name
with "-freebsd" in base this change makes it consistent with other architectures.
On newer version of binutils the powerpc format is also prepended with "-freebsd".
Also modify the kernel ldscripts in that regards.
As a result it is now possible cross build the kernel on powerpc using newer binutils

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.

u-boot env into the loader(8) env (which also gets them into the kernel
env). You can import selected variables or the whole environment. Each
u-boot var=value becomes uboot.var=value in the loader env. You can also
use 'ubenv show' to display uboot vars without importing them.
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.

like EX and SRX. The install command uses pkgfs to extract a kernel,
zero or more modules and a root file system from the specified package
and boots the kernel. The name of the kernel, the list of modules and
the name of the root file system can be specified by putting a
file called "metatags in the package.
The package to use is given by an URL. The schemes supported are
tftp and file. For the file scheme, the disk is currently hardcoded
but that should really look for the package on all devices and
partititions.

Make the sysinit tool a build tool rather than building in with
/usr/bin/cc and running it from OBJDIR. (It will be moved to usr.bin
once a manpage is written and a few style cleanups are done.)
Split the makefile bits for Hans' kernel shim layer into their own
includable kshim.mk.
Move USB support into a .mk file so loaders can include it.
