rest, but there is still a lot of code duplication to be removed.
- Implement full GPT support. Currently we just read primary header and
partition table and don't care about checksums, etc. After this change we
verify checksums of primary header and primary partition table and if
there is a problem we fall back to backup header and backup partition
table.
- Clean up most messages to use prefix of boot program, so in case of an
error we know where the error comes from, eg.:
gptboot: unable to read primary GPT header
- If we can't boot, print boot prompt only once and not every five
seconds.
- Honour newly added GPT attributes:
bootme - this is bootable partition
bootonce - try to boot from this partition only once
bootfailed - we failed to boot from this partition
- Change boot order of gptboot to the following:
1. Try to boot from all the partitions that have both 'bootme'
and 'bootonce' attributes one by one.
2. Try to boot from all the partitions that have only 'bootme'
attribute one by one.
3. If there are no partitions with 'bootme' attribute, boot from
the first UFS partition.
- The 'bootonce' functionality is implemented in the following way:
1. Walk through all the partitions and when 'bootonce'
attribute is found without 'bootme' attribute, remove
'bootonce' attribute and set 'bootfailed' attribute.
'bootonce' attribute alone means that we tried to boot from
this partition, but boot failed after leaving gptboot and
machine was restarted.
2. Find partition with both 'bootme' and 'bootonce' attributes.
3. Remove 'bootme' attribute.
4. Try to execute /boot/loader or /boot/kernel/kernel from that
partition. If succeeded we stop here.
5. If execution failed, remove 'bootonce' and set 'bootfailed'.
6. Go to 2.
If whole boot succeeded there is new /etc/rc.d/gptboot script coming
that will log all partitions that we failed to boot from (the ones with
'bootfailed' attribute) and will remove this attribute. It will also
find partition with 'bootonce' attribute - this is the partition we
booted from successfully. The script will log success and remove the
attribute.
All the GPT updates we do here goes to both primary and backup GPT if
they are valid. We don't touch headers or partition tables when
checksum doesn't match.

Current code doesn't check size of elf sections and may perform needless
actions of zero-sized memory allocation and similar.
The bigger issue is that alignment requirement of a zero-sized section
gets effectively applied to the next section if it has smaller alignment
requirement. But other tools, like gdb and consequently kgdb,
completely ignore zero-sized sections and thus may map symbols to
addresses differently.
Zero-sized sections are not typical in general.
Their typical (only, even) cause in FreeBSD modules is inline assembly that
creates custom sections which is found in pcpu.h and vnet.h. Mere inclusion
of one of those header files produces a custom section in elf output.
If there is no actual use for the section in a given module, then the
section remains empty.
Better solution is to avoid creating zero-sized sections altogether,
which is in plans.
Preloaded modules are handled in boot code (load_elf_obj.c), while
dynamically loaded modules are handled by kernel (link_elf_obj.c).

RX handler.

CPU implementation number from a global variable to the per-CPU data.
Functions which are called before the latter is available are passed the
implementation number as a parameter now.
OpenBSD and OpenSolaris do instead of fiddling with the MMUs ourselves.
Unlike direct access the firmware methods don't automatically use the
next free (?) TLB slot, instead the slot to be used has to be specified.
We allocate the TLB slots for the kernel top-down as OpenSolaris suggests
that the firmware will always allocate the ones for its own use bottom-up.
Besides being simpler, according to OpenBSD using the firmware methods is
required to allow booting on Sun Fire E10K with multi-systemboard domains.
of Sun Fire V1280 doesn't round up the size itself but instead lets
claiming of non page-sized amounts of memory fail.
- Change parameters and variables related to the TLB slots to unsigned
which is more appropriate.
- Search the whole OFW device tree instead of only the children of the
root nexus device for the BSP as starting with UltraSPARC IV the 'cpu'
nodes hang off of from 'cmp' (chip multi-threading processor) or 'core'
or combinations thereof. Also in large UltraSPARC III based machines
the 'cpu' nodes hang off of 'ssm' (scalable shared memory) nodes which
group snooping-coherency domains together instead of directly from the
nexus.
- Add support for UltraSPARC IV and IV+ BSPs. Due to the fact that these
are multi-core each CPU has two Fireplane config registers and thus the
module/target ID has to be determined differently so the one specific
to a certain core is used. Similarly, starting with UltraSPARC IV the
individual cores use a different property in the OFW device tree to
indicate the CPU/core ID as it no longer is in coincidence with the
shared slot/socket ID.
While at it additionally distinguish between CPUs with Fireplane and
JBus interconnects as these also use slightly different sizes for the
JBus/agent/module/target IDs.
- Check the return value of init_heap(). This requires moving it after
cons_probe() so we can panic when appropriate. This should be fine as
the PowerPC OFW loader uses that order for quite some time now.
Note that due to e.g. write throttling ('wdrain'), it can stall all the disk
I/O instead of just the device it's configured for. Using it for removable

as this only allows us to access file systems that EFI knows about.
With a loader that can only use EFI-supported file systems, we're
forced to put /boot on the EFI system partition. This is suboptimal
in the following ways:
1. With /boot a symlink to /efi/boot, mergemaster complains about
the mismatch and there's no quick solution.
2. The EFI loader can only boot a single version of FreeBSD. There's
no way to install multiple versions of FreeBSD and select one
at the loader prompt.
3. ZFS maintains /boot/zfs/zpool.cache and with /boot a symlink we
end up with the file on a MSDOS file system. ZFS does not have
proper handling of file systems that are under Giant.
Implement a disk device based on the block I/O protocol instead and

by keeping it opened after the first open and closing it via the
cleanup handler when NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE is defined in order to
avoid the open-close-dance on every file access which with firmware
that for example performs an auto-negotiation on every open causes
netbooting to take horribly long. Basically the behavior with this
knob enabled resembles the one employed between r60506 and r177108
(and for sparc64 also again since r182919) with the addition that
the network device now is closed eventually before entering the
kernel and before rebooting. Actually I think this should be the
desired MI behavior, however the U-Boot loader actually requires
net_close() to be called after every transaction in order for some
local shutdown operations to be performed (and which I think thus
will break on concurrent opens, i.e. when netdev_opens is > 1, like
the loader does at least for disks when LOADER_GZIP_SUPPORT is
enabled).
- Use NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE to replace the hack, which artificially
increased netdev_opens for sparc64 in order to keep the network
device opened forever, as at least some firmware versions require
the network device to be closed eventually before entering the
kernel or otherwise will DMA received packets to stale memory.
The powerpc OFW loader probably wants NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE to be
set as well for the same reasons.

heap when using a range above 1MB.
Previously the loader would always use the last 3MB in the first memory
range above 1MB for the heap. However, this memory range is also where the
kernel and any modules are loaded. If this memory range is "small", then
using the high 3MB for the heap may not leave enough room for the kernel
and modules.
Now the loader will use any range below 4GB for the heap, and the logic to
choose the "high" heap region has moved into biosmem.c. It sets two
variables that the loader can use for a high heap if it desires. When a
high heap is enabled (BZIP2, FireWire, GPT, or ZFS), then the following
memory ranges are preferred for the heap in order from best to worst:
- The largest memory region in the SMAP with a start address greater than
1MB. The memory region must be at least 3MB in length. This leaves the
region starting at 1MB purely for use by the kernel and modules.
- The last 3MB of the memory region starting at 1MB if it is at least 3MB
in size. This matches the current behavior except that the current loader
would break horribly if the first region was not at least 3MB in size.
- The memory range from the end of the loader up to the 640k window. This
is the range the loader uses when none of the high-heap-requesting options
are enabled.

- When GPT is enabled (which it is by default), use memory above 1 MB and
leave the memory from the end of the bss to the end of the 640k window
purely for the stack. The loader has grown and now it is much more
common for the heap and stack to grow into each other when both are
located in the 640k window.

the disklabel in the 2nd sector for boot code. Even with both UFS1
and UFS2 supported, there's enough bytes left that we don't have to
nibble from the disklabel.
Thus, the entire 2nd sector is now reserved for the disklabel, which
makes the bootcode compatible again with disklabels that have more
than 8 partitions -- such as those created and supported by gpart.

The old BTX passed the general purpose registers from the 32-bit client to
the routines called via virtual 86 mode. The new BTX did the same thing.
However, it turns out that some instructions behave differently in virtual 86
mode and real mode (even though this is under-documented). For example, the
LEAVE instruction will cause an exception in real mode if any of the upper
16-bits of %ebp are non-zero after it executes. In virtual 8086 mode the
upper 16-bits are simply ignored. This could cause faults in hardware
interrupt handlers that inherited an %ebp larger than 0xffff from the 32-bit
client (loader, boot2, etc.) while running in real mode.
To fix, when executing hardware interrupt handlers provide an explicit clean
state where all the general purpose and segment registers are zero upon
entry to the interrupt handler. While here, I attempted to simplify the
control flow in the 'intusr' code that sets up the various stack frames
and exits protected mode to invoke the requested routine via real mode.
A huge thanks to Tor Egge (tegge@) for debugging this issue.

kernel one as the non-faulting flush address in the loader so
we can can change KERNBASE and VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS if we
ever want to without needing to worry about using a compatible
loader.
- Correctly check for LOADER_DEBUG.
- Add a missing const for page_sizes[].
functions used in the bootloader. The goal is to make the code more
readable and smaller (especially because we have size issues
in the loader's environment).
High level description of the changes:
+ define some string manipulation functions to improve readability;
+ create functions to manipulate module descriptors, removing some
duplicated code;
+ rename the error codes to ESOMETHING;
+ consistently use set_environment_variable (which evaluates
$variables) when interpreting variable=value assignments;
I have tested the code, but there might be code paths that I have
not traversed so please let me know of any issues.
Details of this change:
--- loader.4th ---
+ add some module operators, to remove duplicated code while parsing
module-related commands:
set-module-flag
enable-module
disable-module
toggle-module
show-module
--- pnp.4th ---
+ move here the definition related to the pnp devices list, e.g.
STAILQ_* , pnpident, pnpinfo
--- support.4th ---
+ rename error codes to capital e.g. ENOMEM EFREE ... and do obvious
changes related to the renaming;
+ remove unused structures (those relevant to pnp are moved to pnp.4th)
+ various string functions
- strlen removed (it is an internal function)
- strchr, defined as the C function
- strtype -- type a string to output
- strref -- assign a reference to the string on the stack
- unquote -- remove quotes from a string
+ remove reset_line_buffer
+ move up the 'set_environment_variable' function (which now
uses the interpreter, so $variables are evaluated).
Use the function in various places
+ add a 'test_file function' for debugging purposes

and re-enable it as default.
In particular:
+ re-enable the 'update' flag in the Makefile (of course!);
+ commit Warner's patch "orb $NOUPDATE,_FLAGS(%bp)"
to avoid writing to disk in case of a timeout/default choice;
+ fix an off-by-one count in the partition scan code that would
print the wrong name for unknown partitions;
+ unconditionally change the boot prompt to 'Boot:' instead of 'Default:'
to make room for the extra code/checks/messages. Some of the changes
listed below are also made to save space;
+ rearrange and fix comments for known partition types. Right now we
explicitly recognise *BSD, Linux, FAT16 (type 6, used on many USB keys),
NTFS (type 7), FAT32 (type 11).
Depending on other options we also recognise Extended (type 5),
FAT12 (type 1) and FAT16 < 32MB (type 4).
+ Add an entry "F6 PXE" when the code is built with -DPXE (which is
a default now). Technically, F6 boots through INT18, so the prompt 'PXE'
is a bit misleading. Unfortunately the name INT18
is too long and does not fit in - we could use ROM perhaps.
The reason I picked 'PXE' is that on many (I believe) new systems
INT18 calls PXE.
Apart from the choice of the name for PXE/ROM/INT18, this should close
pending issues on the 1-sector boot0 code and we should be able to
move the code to RELENG_7 when it reopens.
No boot0cfg changes are necessary.

loader_conf_files="foo bar baz"
should cause loading the files listed, and then resume with the
remaining config files (from previous values of the variable).
Unfortunately, sometimes the line was ignored -- actually even
modifying the line in /boot/default/loader.conf sometimes doesn't work.
ANALYSIS: After much investigation, turned out to be a bug in the logic.
The existing code detected a new assignment by looking at the address
of the the variable containing the string. This only worked by pure
chance, i.e. if the new string is longer than the previous value
then the memory allocator may return a different address
to store the string hence triggering the detection.
SOLUTION: This commit contains a minimal change to fix the problem,
without altering too much the existing structure of the code.
However, as a step towards improving the quality and reliability of
this code, I have introduced a handful of one-line functions
(strget, strset, strfree, string= ) that could be used in dozens
of places in the existing code.
HOWEVER:
There is a much bigger problem here. Even though I am no Forth
expert (as most fellow src committers) I can tell that much of the
forth code (in support.4th at least) is in severe need of a
review/refactoring:
+ pieces of code are replicated multiple times instead of writing
functions (see e.g. set_module_*);
+ a lot of stale code (e.g. "structure" definitions for
preloaded_files, kernel_module, pnp stuff) which is not used
or at least belongs elsewhere.
The code bload is extremely bad as the loader runs with very small
memory constraints, and we already hit the limit once (see
http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=185132
Reducing the footprint of the forth files is critical.
+ two different styles of coding, one using pure stack functions
(maybe beautiful but surely highly unreadable), one using
high level mechanisms to give names to arguments and local
variables (which leads to readable code).
Note that this code is used by default by all FreeBSD installations,
so the fragility and the code bloat are extremely damaging.
I will try to work fixing the three items above, but if others have
time, please have a look at these issues.
