The change makes block caching algorithm to work better for remote
media on low-BW/high-delay links.
This cuts boot time over IP KVMs noticeably, since the initialization
stage reads bunch of small 4th (and now lua) files that are not in
the same cache stripe (usually), thus wasting lot of bandwidth and
increasing latency even further.
The original regression came in 2017 with revision 87ed2b7f5. We've
seen increase of time it takes for the loader to get to the kernel
loading from under a minute to 10-15 minutes in many cases.

Summary:
Open file list is currently created as statically allocated array (64 items).
Once this array is filled up, loader will not be able to operate with files.
In most cases, this mechanism is good enough, but the problem appears, when
we have many disks with zfs pool(s). In current loader implementation, all
discovered zfs pool configurations are kept in memory and disk devices open -
consuming the open file array. Rewrite the open file mechanism to use
dynamically allocated list.

it reopens the file and parses it like other loader .conf files.
Unfortunately, the file I/O buffering code does not fully reset the

to the end, that doesn't matter; the file buffer is treated as empty
anyway. But in the nextboot.conf case, the loader will not read to the

may cause file parsing to abort on bad syntax (if the corrupt line has
<>2 quotes in it), the wrong variable to be set, no variable to be set

approximating normal operation.
The bug is very old, dating back to at least 2000 if not before, and is

According to comments in the Makefile, to make pxeboot work we need to
have crt0.o first. This is needed because the simplified loader in
pxeboot assumes that the startup code is at offset 0 in this binary. In
normal booting, the start address can be obtained from headers of the
binary, but since pxeboot encodes this as a pure binary, it has no way
of knowing where that is and assumes 0. Added comments to that effect
in the Makefile.
We've done this by adding it to OBJS before all the other .o's are
added. However, there's a problem. This also adds it to the CLEANFILES
variable, which causes it to be removed from multiple places. The
dependencies may also cause it to be re-built at a time that's after
boot2 is built. This causes installs to fail because at install time
boot2 is considered to be out of date and the programs to rebuild it are
no longer in the path.
Cope with this problem by just adding it to LDFLAGS instead.

There's a currently ad-hoc protocol to hand off the FreeBSD kernel
payload between the loader and the kernel itself when Xen is in the
middle of the picture. Such protocol wasn't very resilient to changes
to the loader itself, because it relied on moving metadata around to
package it using a certain layout. This has proven to be fragile, so
replace it with a more robust version.
The new protocol requires using a xen_header structure that will be
used to pass data between the FreeBSD loader and the FreeBSD kernel
when booting in dom0 mode. At the moment the only data conveyed is the
offset of the start of the module metadata relative to the start of the
module itself.
This is a slightly disruptive change since it also requires a change
to the kernel which is contained in this patch. In order to update
with this change the kernel must be updated before updating the
loader, as described in the handbook. Note this is only required when
booting a FreeBSD/Xen dom0. This change doesn't affect the normal
FreeBSD boot protocol.

becuase i386 .ko files are shared objects like the kernel proper, while
this is not the case on amd64.)
Fix this by skipping the set_vt_drv_set lookup if vbefb was already

efi, like the various ${MACHINE} directories, should have a dependency on
the enabled interpreters.
The general rule here is that any top-level directory that has a program at
any depth within that includes loader.mk should add ${INTERP_DEPENDS} added
to its dependencies so that the appropriate ficl/lua bits are ready before
they begin.
Note that the only directories in-tree that require it but will not get it
in a more appropriate manner are i386 (on amd64), efi, and userboot. i386
and userboot are handled explicitly in Makefile.amd64 where they are added
to S.yes.

lualoader was previously not processing \ as escapes; this commit fixes
that and does better error checking on the value as well.
Additionally, loader.conf had some odd restrictions on values that make
little sense. Previously, lines like:
kernel=foo
Would simply be discarded with a malformed line complaint you might not
see unless you disable beastie.
lualoader tries to process these as well as it can and manipulates the
environment, while forthloader did minimal processing and constructed a
`set` command to do the heavy lifting instead. The lua approach was
re-envisioned from building a `set` command so that we can appropriately
reset the environment when, for example, boot environments change.
Lift the previous restrictions to allow unquoted values on the right hand
side of an expression. Note that an unquoted value is effectively:
[A-Za-z0-9-][A-Za-z0-9-_.]*
This commit also stops trying to weirdly limit what it can handle in a
quoted value. Previously it only allowed spaces, alphanumeric, and
punctuation, which is kind of weird. Change it here to grab as much as it
can between two sets of quotes, then let processEnvVar() do the needful and
complain if it finds something malformed looking.

Some systems may provide multiple GOP instances and not all are
bound to hardware. The current loader is picking up the first GOP,
which may not be usable. Instead we load the GOP handle array,
and test every handle to have registered ConOut protocol. If ConOut is
present, we can use this GOP handle to open GOP protocol.
This fixes the positioning of the "Welcome to FreeBSD" heading, which was
misplaced after the recent update to Lua 5.4. The issue was previously
masked by a compatibility knob in Lua 5.3 that would cause float-tagged
numbers to render faithfully without the decimal component. Lua 5.4 dropped
that and ensures that it always prints a decimal component, even if it has
to append a ".0" to the value.
Standard division produces a "float", floor division (//) can be used to
guarantee an integer. Floating point operations have been completely ripped
out of the liblua compiled for the bootloader, so this is a nop. This is
decidedly better than trying to hack out the float tag entirely.

We do select font based on desired terminal size, we do query
UEFI terminal size with conout->QueryMode(), but by mistake, the fallback
values are used.
Pass gfx_state to efi_find_framebuffer(), so we can pick between
GOP and UGA in efi_find_framebuffer(), also we can then
set up struct gen_fb in gfx_state from efifb and isolate efi fb data
processing into framebuffer.c.
This change does allow us to clean up efi_cons_init() and reduce
BS->LocateProtocol() calls.
A little downside is that we now need to translate gen_fb back to
efifb in bootinfo.c (for passing to kernel), and we need to add few
-I options to CFLAGS.
hw.vga.textmode is directing VT VGA backend to use text mode.
The default screen mode for BIOS loader is text, and default
screen mode for VT VGA backend is graphics (unless we are running on
hypervisor or hw.vga.textmode is set to 1). Using hw.vga.textmode
for loader does remove possibility to have graphical mode VT VGA with
text mode loader.
screen.textmode can have possible values "0" to disable text mode,
and "1" to set text mode.
Instead of trying to set reasonable register values, save significant
register values, then prepare for font upload and then restore
registers from saved data.
This seems to fix text mode for most cases where text mode breakage
was reported.

Previously having ficl/liblua in LIB32LIST with their respective option
turned OFF would be relatively harmless, as we wouldn't act on it unless we
were building the non-32 variant. As of ac5f382a9d, however, these are
now used for dependencies in some cases and must reflect what's actually
going to be built.
buildworld already runs the stand build in parallel[1], so make it easier to
identify ordering issues by properly establishing dependencies or adding
.WAIT where needed.
Everything in stand/ relies on libsa, either directly or indirectly, because
libsa build is where the stand headers get installed and it gets linked in
most places.
Interpreters depend on their libs, machine dirs usually depend on top-level
libs that are getting built and at least one of the interpreter flavors.
For i386, order btx/libi386/libfirewire before everything else using a
big-ol-.WAIT hammer. btx is the most common dependency, but the others are
used sporadically. This seems to be where the race reporting on the mailing
list is- AFAICT, the following sequence is happening:
1.) One of the loaders gets built based on stale btx/btxldr
2.) btx/btxldr gets rebuilt
3.) installworld triggers loader rebuild because btx was rebuilt after
This seems like the most plausible explanation, as they've verified system
time and timestamps.
While we're here, let's switch stand/ over to a completely parallel build so
we can work out these kinds of issues in isolation rather than in the middle
of a larger build.

luacheck rightfully complains that i is unused in the show-module-options
loop at the end (it was used for some debugging in the process).
We've added a new pager module that's compiled in, so declare that as an
acceptable global.
This effectively dumps everything lualoader knows about to the console using
the libsa pager; that particular lua interface was added in r368591.
A pager stub implementation has been added that just dumps the output as-is
as a compat shim for older loader binaries that do not have lpager. This
stub should be moved into a more appropriate .lua file if we add anything
else that needs the pager.
Without this we risk having the .interp section be placed earlier in the
file and mess with section offsets; in particular it has been seen to be
placed at the start of the file and cause the PE/COFF header to not be
at address 0. This is the same fix as was done for arm64 in r365578.

This is nearly a 1:1 mapping of the pager API from libsa. The only real
difference is that pager.output() will accept any number of arguments and

bootonce and nextboot features are usable in both UEFI and BIOS boot.
