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.

Future work may provide a stub loader module in userland so that we can
formally test the loader scripts rather than sketchy setups like the above
in conjunction with the lua-* tools in ^/tools/boot.
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.

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.
Specifically, we have:
- enable-module
- disable-module
- toggle-module
These can be used to add/remove modules to be loaded or force modules to be
loaded in spite of modules_blacklist. In the typical case, a user is
expected to use them to recover an issue happening due to a module directive
they've added to their loader.conf or because they discover that they've
under-specified what to load.

In the previous world order, any brand/logo was forced to pull in the

taking and a table describing it.
In the new world order, these files just need to return a table that maps
out graphics types to a table of the exact same format as what was
previously being passed back into the drawer. The appeal here is not needing
to grab a reference back to the drawer module and having a cleaner
data-driven looking format for these. The format has been renamed to 'gfx-*'
prefixes and each one can provide a logo and a brand.
drawer.addBrand/drawer.addLogo will remain in place until FreeBSD 13, as

On boot, the loader will process /boot/nextboot.conf if nextboot_enable

processing on next boot.
bootonce and nextboot features are usable in both UEFI and BIOS boot.
To use bootonce/nextboot features, the boot loader needs to be updated on disk;

The previous interface was pretty bad, and required the caller to get some
implementation details correct that it really shouldn't need to (e.g.
loader_conf_files handling) and pass in an empty table for it to use.
The new and much improved interface, readConf, is much less of a hack;
hiding these implementation details and just doing the right thing.
config.lua will now use it to process /boot/defaults/loader.conf and the
subsequent loader_conf_files from there, and read-conf will also use it.
This improvement submitted by Olivier (cited below), loader_conf_files
handling from the original patch was changed to just clobber it before
processing and not bother restoring it after the fact following r360505
where it's now guaranteed to evade the loader environment.

This new table should be used for transient values that don't need to end up
in the loader environment. Generally, these will be things that are internal
details that really aren't needed or interesting outside of the config
module (e.g. if we changed how ${module}_* directives work, they might use
this instead).
To start, populate it with loader_conf_files. Any specific value of
loader_conf_files isn't all that interesting; if we're going to export it,
we should really instead export a loader_conf_files that indicates all of
the configuration files we processed. This will be used to reduce
bookkeeping overhead in a future commit that cleans up readConfFiles.
While we're here, let's stylize these as functions instead of just raw text.
A future change may allow arbitrary data arguments to be passed some of
these, and the distinction is useful.
This makes sure that config.readConfFiles doesn't see a stale
loader_conf_files from before, in case the newly loaded file doesn't set it.

This may be used for the local module to hook in and load any additional
modules that it wants, since it can't modify the modules table internal to
config. We may consider adding API to do so at a later time, but I suspect
it will be more complicated to use with little return.
status is captured but ignored for the purpose of loading the hook. status
will be false if *any* module failed to load, but we typically don't let
that halt the boot so there's no reason to let it halt hooks. Some vendors
or setups may have expected fails that would be actively thwarted by
checking it.
We may, at a later date, consider adding an API for letting non-config
modules check which modules have successfully (or not) loaded in case an
unexpected failure *should* halt whatever they are doing.

The major problem with the current ordering is that loader.conf may contain
all of the magic we need to actually setup the console, so loading local.lua
prior to that can make it excessively difficult and annoying to debug
(whoops, sorry Ravi & Warner).
The new ordering has some implications, but I suspect they are a non-issue.
The first is that it's no longer possible for the local module to inject any
logic prior to loading config -- I suspect no one has relied on this. The
second implication is that the config.loaded hook is now useless, as the
local module will always be included after that hook would have fired.
For config.loaded, I will opt to leave it in, just in case we add an early
point for local lua to get injected or in case one wants to schedule some
deferred logic in a custom loader.lua. The overhead of having it if no hooks
will be invoked is relatively minimal.

Actual modules get require()'d in, rather than try_include(). All instances
of try_include should be provided with proper hooks/API in the rest of
loader to do the work they need to do, since we can't rely on them to exist.
Convert this now to lfs + dofile since we won't really be treating them as
modules.
lfs is required because dofile will properly throw an error if the file
doesn't exist, which is not in the spirit of 'optionally included'.
Getting out of the pcall game allows us to provide a loader.exit() style
call that backs out to the common bits of loader (autoboot sequence unless
disabled with a loader.setenv("autoboot_delay", "NO")). The most ideal way
identified so far to implement loader.exit() is to throw a special
abort-style error that indicates to the caller in interp_lua that we've not
actually errored out, just continue execution. Otherwise, we have to hack in
logic to bubble up and return from loader.lua without continuing further,
which gets kind of ugly depending on the context in which we're aborting.
A compat shim is provided temporarily in case the executing loader doesn't
yet have loader.lua_path, which was just added in r354246.
Multiple places coordinate to 'know' where lua scripts are installed. Knock
this down to being formally defined (and overridable) in exactly one spot,
defs.mk, and spread the knowledge to loaders and liblua alike. A future

paths to lua scripts as needed.

Previously color.disabled would be calculated at color module load time,
then never touched again. We can detect serial boots beyond just what we're
told by loader.conf(5) so this works out in many cases, but we must
re-evaluate the situation after the config is loaded to make sure we're not
supposed to be forcing it enabled/disabled.
Discovered while trying to test r353872.
When colors are disabled, color.escape{fg,bg} would return the passed in
color rather than the proper ANSI sequence for the color.
color.escape{fg,bg} would be wrong.
Instead return '', as the associated reset* functions will also return ''.
This should get rid of the funky '2' and '4' in the kernel selector if
you're booting serial.
Reported by: npn
It's not uncommon these days for the terminals attached to serial consoles
to support ANSI escape sequences. However, we assume escape sequences may
break some serial consoles and default to not using them when boot_serial or
boot_multicons (or if console contains "comconsole" in the forth loader) for
broader compatibility. We also have loader_color which can be explicitly set
to "NO" to disable the use of ANSI escape sequences.
The problem is that loader_color=YES gets ignored when boot_serial=YES or
boot_multicons=YES (or when console contains "comconsole" in the forth
loader).
To fix, the existing default behavior remains unchanged when loader_color is
unset, loader_color=NO explicitly disables the use of ANSI escape sequences
still, and the change is that loader_color=YES can now be used to explicitly
allow ANSI escapes when a serial console is enabled.
