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.
Change the ELF registration/unregistration scheme to be less error prone.
Adding a new brand requires a single addition to linux_brandlist instead of
modifying linux_load(), linux_unload(), and linux_elf_init().

Formerly, the heuristic involving the interpreter path took
precedence.
Also, print a better error message if the brand is missing or not
recognized. If there is no brand at all, give the user a hint that
"brandelf" needs to be run.
Remove /sys/boot from legacy-build.
Add btxld to build-tools.
In src/sys/Makefile:
Add /sys/boot for i386 ELF.
I'm still not sure why the new boot code was being built along with the
legacy stuff, which meant a completely wrong default environment for it.
This may well still be the wrong way to go about this, but it can't work
all that much worse than it has been.
difference, but might later on when we implement some sort of multi-head
console mode. Select a console after probing them all.
Don't strdup a potentially NULL return from getenv().
If we don't select an active console, choose the first regardless.
Call the console init function, at startup time and on a manual change.
The env_setenv() function needs EV_VOLATILE because it's pointing to
data that isn't malloc'ed and will cause a fault if it's freed later.
Cosmetic change to the init-time character eater (like, make it increment
the index counter - if there's a problem, it would sit there in an infinite
loop instead of only running 10 times).
Also, make sure we set %dx each time around otherwise the commands
suddenly start trying to work on things like com92 instead of com1.
Make sure comc_init() is only run once.
Cosmetic change to init-time character eater.
fxp_stop is called as the first thing in fxp_init, and if the tx desc
list has junk in it, the system may panic. This bug showed up as a side
effect of the changes in rev 1.56, but has been in the code since the
beginning.
Linux and FreeBSD signal numbers. Also, check signal numbers passed
in from application programs for validity. Without these checks,
it is trivial to panic the system from a Linux program.
be converted to fixed-sized integers when they are passed across the
binary interface to the kernel.
Didn't fix rotted bits (including not passing dosdev to the kernel and
serious out of dateness when initially committed).
this myself for ages, but wasn't able to get any feedback from the people
that I sent it to for testing.
Guy Helmer <ghelmer@scl.ameslab.gov> has given it a shot (before getting on
a plane, thanks!) and it appears to stop his reproducable page fault panic
in the testing he was able to do.
o For bt and aha only probe the one I/O range if a specific I/O is specified
in the config file.
o Don't even try to probe I/O ranges that have been seen already.
o If we conflict with an IRQ or DRQ, then fail the probe.

Implement preloading in a fairly MI way, assuming the information is
prepared.
DDB interface helpers.. Provide some support for db_kld.c so that we
don't have to export too much detail.
Debugging and cosmetic nits left in from development..
The other half of the containing file hack so modules can associate
themselves with their "file".
