Due to the way u-boot for 32-bit powerpc is compiled, the interrupt code
assumes that the GOT pointer (r30) on u-boot is always intact.
When making syscalls to u-boot, ensure that we have restored r30 like we
found it before we enable interrupts to prevent u-boot from crashing if a
timer interrupt was pending.
This fixes ubldr on e500 qemu (assuming you have recompiled qemu's u-boot
with API support!)

There's no need to use the fallback fls() and flsl() libkern functions
when the PowerISA includes instructions that already do the bulk of the

This was committed due to what was later diagnosed as an msdosfs bug
preventing in-place strip. This bug was fixed in r352564, and we agreed to
keep the workaround in for a bit to allow the driver fix a suitable amount
of propagation time for folks building/installing powerpc/ubldr, seeing as
how we were not in any hurry to revert.
Logic was backwards. The function returns true if it *is* running as a
hypervisor, whereas we want to only call the CAS utility if we're running as a
guest.

Summary:
Install's strip capability, by way of strip(1), doesn't seem to work
correctly on msdosfs, and instead ends up truncating the resulting
binary to 0-length. As a workaround, don't strip ubldr(8). This
fixes installworld on Book-E ubldr-based platforms, which prior to this
would need to manually install ubldr separately after installworld, in
order to have a functional ubldr.
The same thing could be done on PowerNV platforms that use msdosfs /boot
volumes, since loader and loader.kboot, etc, all get truncated to 0 on
install. However, PowerNV does not use loader, instead loading from
petitboot, so it's not really necessary at this time.

Guest PPC OSs running under a hypervisor may communicate the features they
support, in order for the hypervisor to expose a virtualized machine in the way
the client (guest OS) expects (see LoPAPR 1.1 - B.6.2.3).
This is done by calling the "/ibm,client-architecture-support" (CAS) method,
informing supported features in option vectors. Until now, FreeBSD wasn't
using CAS, but instead relied on hypervisor/QEMU's defaults.
The problem is that, without CAS, it is very inconvenient to run POWER9 VMs on
a POWER9 host running with radix enabled. This happens because, in this case,
the QEMU default is to present the guest OS a dual MMU (HPT/RPT), instead of
presenting a regular HPT MMU, as FreeBSD expects, resulting in an early panic.
The known workarounds required either changing the host to disable radix or
passing a flag to QEMU to run in a POWER8 compatible mode.
With CAS, FreeBSD is now able to communicate that it wants an HPT MMU,
independent of the host setup, which now makes FreeBSD work on POWER9/pseries,
with KVM enabled and without hugepages (support added in a previous commit).
As CAS is invoked through OpenFirmware's call-method interface, it needs to be
performed early, when OpenFirmware is still operational. Besides, now that FDT
is the default way to inspect the device tree on PPC, OFW call-method feature
will be unavailable by default, when control is passed to the kernel. Because
of this, the call to CAS is being performed at the loader, instead of at the
kernel.
To avoid regressions with old platforms, this change uses CAS only on
POWER8/POWER9.

It was pointed out that manually loading a .dtb to be used rather than
relying on platform-specific method for loading .dtb will result in overlays
not being applied. This was true because overlay loading was hacked into
fdt_platform_load_dtb, rather than done in a way more independent from how
the .dtb is loaded.
Instead, push overlay loading (for now) out into an
fdt_platform_load_overlays. This method easily allows ubldr to pull in any
fdt_overlays specified in the ub env, and omits overlay-checking on
platforms where they're not tested and/or not desired (e.g. powerpc). If we
eventually stop caring about fdt_overlays from ubenv (if we ever cared),
this method should get chopped out in favor of just calling
fdt_load_dtb_overlays() directly.

PowerPC Apple hardware, and likely all Open Firmware systems.
The loader would allocate memory for its heap at whatever address Open
Firmware gave it, which would in general be the lowest unallocated address,
usually starting a page or two above 0. As the kernel is linked at 1 MB,
and loader insists on running the kernel at its link address, any heap
larger than 1 MB would overlap the kernel, causing loader memory allocations
to corrupt the kernel and vice versa.
Although r328806 made this problem much worse by increasing the heap size
to 8 MB, causing 88% of the loader heap to overlap with the kernel, the
problem has always existed. The old heap size was 1 MB and, unless that
started exactly at zero, which would cause other problems, some number of
pages of the loader heap still overlapped with the kernel.
This patch solves the issue in two ways and cleans up some related code:
- Moves the loader heap inside of the loader. This guarantees that the
heap will be contiguous with the loader and simplifies the heap
allocation code at no cost, since the heap lives in BSS.
- Moves the loader, previously at 28 MB and dangerously close to the kernel
it loads, a bit higher to 44 MB. This has the effect of breaking loader
on non-embedded PPC machines with < 48 MB of RAM, but we did not support
those anyway.
The fundamental problem is that the way loader loads ELF files is
incredibly fragile, but that can't be fixed without fundamental
architectural changes.

MK_CTF, MK_SSP, MK_PROFILE, NO_PIC, and INTERNALLIB are always the

This removes a lot of boring repetition from the Makefiles that added

On POWER8 with current petitpoot, the loader.kboot might be

always big-endian, so the load_elf_* routines must be aware
