accept load options (=command line options). The call graph changes from *entry*->efi_main->efi_init, where efi_main is the EFI equivalent of main to *entry*->efi_main->main, where main is what you'd expect. efi_main now is what efi_init was. The prototype of main follows that of C. The first argument is argc and the second is argv. There is no third argument. Allocation of heap pages is now handled by the EFI library and it now deallocates the pages when main() returns or when exit() is called. This allows us to safely return to the boot manager (or EFI shell) without leaks. EFI applications are responsible to free all memory themselves. Handling of the load options is a bit tricky. There are either no load options, load options in ASCII or load options in Unicode. The EFI library will translate the ASCII options to Unicode options as to simplify user code. Since the load options are passed as a single string (if present) and main() accepts argc and argv, the startup code also has to split the string into words and build the argv vector. Here the trickiness starts. When the loader is started from the EFI shell, argv[0] will automaticly load the program name. In all other cases (ie through the boot manager), this is not the case. Unfortunately, there's no trivial way to check. Hence, a set of conditions is checked to determine if we need to fill in argv[0] ourselves or not. This checking is not perfect. There are known cases where it fails to do the right thing. The logic works for most expected cases, though. This includes the case where no options are given. Approved by: re (blanket) |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
