- Now that bsd.prog.mk deals with programs linked with -nostdlib
better, and has a notion of an "internal" program, use PROG
where possible. This has a good impact on the contents of
.depend files and causes programs to be linked with cc(1).
XXX: boot2 couldn't be converted as it's actually two programs.
Tested on: i386, amd64
- do not use PROG for what's not a real C program,
- use sys.mk transformation rules where possible,
- only create the "machine" symlink on AMD64,
- removed MAINTAINER lines in individual makefiles,
- added the LIBSTAND defitinion to <bsd.libnames.mk>,
- somewhat better contents in .depend files.

While we end up the same place, we end up with two different CS register
values after the jump and 0xf000 is compatible with the hardware reset
value.
This makes a difference if the BIOS does a near jump before a far jump.

It seems that the existence of a "depend" target in src/sys/boot is not
to be taken as an indication that it actually does what one would expect,
at least it clearly threw my testing off.

Load 4 sectors more than we used to. This is harmless overhead for
the UFS1_ONLY case, but sufficient for boot2(UFS1+2).

under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports. As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL. It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.
Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

Get rid of the INTERNALSTATICLIB knob and just use plain INTERNALLIB.
INTERNALLIB now means to build static library only and don't install
anything. Added a NOINSTALLLIB knob for libpam/modules. To not
build any library at all, just do not set LIB.

fatal trap. Also, reload the GDT register to point to BTX's GDT before
playing around with the segment registers to return to real mode. This is
helpful if the kernel causes a fatal exception before it has setup its own
IDT and fault handlers. For example, if one happens to break mtx_init().
Without these changes BTX would recursively page fault (if paging was not
disabled) or triple fault and reset the CPU (without the GDT reload)
instead of providing a potentially useful register dump.

theory, this should allow the K7V Athlon motherboard to boot ok with boot

shouldn't break anything though. :)

with the new binutils. Now that we have a decent assembler, all the old
m4 macros are no longer needed. Instead, straight assembly can be used
since as(1) now understands 16-bit addressing, branches, etc. Also,
several bugs have been fixed in as(1), allowing boot0.s to be further
cleaned up.
from user mode. Don't disable interrupts when returning from vm86 mode
to user mode either. Now, we only disable interrupts before calling a
hardware interrupt handler, which is the only time we _should_ be
disabling interrupts.
Because of this, err, feature, any routine that one called in vm86 mode
had to re-enable interrupts by setting the interrupt flag or interrupts
would remain disabled even after the routine returned. For example, I
have a simple debugging routine that uses a vm86 mode function to dump
any arbitrary memory word that I use to read the BIOS timer or any other
memory location. This function does 1 load instruction from memory and
then returns. Since it didn't re-enable interrupts, the first time I
called it to read the BIOS timer, it disabled interrupts. This also
affected the PXE bootstrap as it needs interrupts enabled while it is
processing. This patch fixes both of those situations so that those
functions do not worry about having to enable interrupts. Hardware
interrupt handlers worked fine with the old code because they always
enable interrupts as part of their routine.
If you have any problems with the loader after this commit, please
let me know. I'd like to MFC it in a week or two since PXE support
needs it.

- Don't hard code 0x10000 as the entry point for the loader. Instead add
src/sys/boot/i386/Makefile.inc which defines a make variable with the
entry point for the loader. Move the loader's entry point up to
0x20000, which makes PXE happy.
- Don't try to use cpp to parse btxldr for the optional BTXLDR_VERBOSE,
instead use m4 to achieve this. Also, add a BTXLDR_VERBOSE knob in the
btxldr Makefile to turn this option on.
- Redo parts of cdldr's Makefile so that it now builds and installs cdboot
instead of having i386/loader/Makefile do that. Also, add in some more
variables to make the pxeldr Makefile almost identical and thus to ease
maintainability.
- Teach cdldr about the a.out format. Cdldr now parsers the a.out header
of the loader binary and relocates it based on that. The entry point of
the loader no longer has to be hardcoded into cdldr. Also, the boot
info table from mkisofs is no longer required to get a useful cdboot.
- Update the lsdev function for BIOS disks to parse other file systems
(such as DOS FAT) that we currently support. This is still buggy as
it assumes that a floppy with a DOS boot sector actually has a MBR and
parses it as such. I'll be fixing this in the future.
- The biggie: Add in support for booting off of PXE-enabled network
adapters. Currently, we use the TFTP API provided by the PXE BIOS.
Eventually we will switch to using the low-level NIC driver thus
allowing both TFTP and NFS to be used, but for now it's just TFTP.

1) Fix a bug in the int15 function 87 emulation where we only copied half
of what the BIOS asked for. This caused the Mylex RAID adapter to go
haywire and start trashing memory when you tried to boot from it.
2) Don't use interrupt 19 to reboot. Instead, set the reboot flag to a warm
boot and jump to the BIOS's reboot handler. int 19 doesn't clear memory
or restore the interrupt vector table, and thus really isn't safe. For
example, when booting off of PXE, the PXE BIOS eats up a chunk of memory
for its internal data and structures. Since we rebooted via int 19,
using the 'reboot' command in the loader resulted in that memory not
being reclaimed by the BIOS. Thus, after a few PXE boots, the system
was out of lower memory.
3) Catch any int 19 calls made by a BTX client or a user pressing
Ctrl-Alt-Delete and shutdown BTX and reboot the machine cleanly. This
fixes Ctrl-Alt-Delete in the loader and in boot2 instead of presenting
the user with a BTX fault.

- Fix btxldr to preserve a NULL bootinfo pointer when it copies the kernel
arguments.
- Add the cdldr bootstrap program. This program is tacked onto the
beginning of the standard 3rd stage boot loader (/boot/loader) to form
the CD boot loader (/boot/cdboot). When a CD is booted, the cdboot file
is copied into memory instead and executed. The cdldr stub emulates the
environment normally provided by boot2 and then starts the loader. This
booting method does not emulate a floppy drive, but boots directly off of
the CD. This should fix the problems some BIOS's have with emulating a
2.88 MB floppy image.
- Add support to the loader to recognize that it has been booted by cdldr
instead of boot2 and use a simpler method of extracting the BIOS boot
device.
of %cr0 wasn't reloaded into %eax before being modified to turn protected
mode off if PAGING was not defined. The result was that the processor did
not exit protected mode, so when it tried to jump to segment 0x0 in the
next instruction to clear the prefetch cache like one should when leaving
protected mode, it actually tried to jump to a null selector, causing a
GPF.
Memory" called as function 0x87 of interrupt 0x15. Since the Mylex RAID
adapter's BIOS used this function to access memory (actually PCI bus
space) beyond 16 MB, this patch also allows BTX to address all 4 Gig of
possible address space on i386+. Since the loader does not have room for
4 MB of page tables, this was done by turning off paging.
Paging was turned off via a compile time setting which defaults to off.
To enable paging, simply define the make variable PAGING.
rnordier might want to clean this up later.
