bytes of boot2. Since we're in 16-bit mode, we can't copy all 128kB at
once; instead we loop four times and copy 32 kB each time.
This change was made necessary by an upcoming increase in the size of the
boot2 binary; should it increase further, the COPY_BLKS value can be
adjusted without anyone needing to remember 8086 assembly language again.

Go ahead and defined -D_STANDALONE for all targets (only strictly

for). Also add -msoft-float to all architectures uniformly rather

Return EINVAL instead of EFTYPE if we have a multiboot kernel loaded but
failed to load the modules. This makes it clear that the kernel/module
should be handled by the multiboot handler but something went wrong.

Zero the list of modules array before using it, or else we might pass
uninitialized data in unused fields of the struct that will make Xen choke.
Also add a check to make sure malloc succeeds.

-mno-align-long-strings when compiling with base gcc. This is checked
by comparing the version number against 4.2.1, which is not exactly
right, but good enough. (There is no other way to check whether we are

Motivation is to introduce BIOS specific quirks early in the boot
process. smbios_match can be called before malloc is avaible, that's
why parts of smbios_detect have been moved into a separate function
smbios_probe that will be called by smbios_detect as well as
smbios_match.

__attribute__((format(...))), and the -fformat-extensions flag was
removed, introduce a new macro in bsd.sys.mk to choose the right variant
of compile flag for the used compiler, and use it.
Also add something similar to kern.mk, since including bsd.sys.mk from
that file will anger Warner. :-)
Note that bsd.sys.mk does not support the MK_FORMAT_EXTENSIONS knob used
in kern.mk, since that knob is only available in kern.opts.mk, not in
src.opts.mk. We might want to add it later, to more easily support
external compilers for building world (in particular, sys/boot).

The data in MODINFOMD_MODULEP is packed by the loader as a 4 byte type, but
the amd64 kernel expects a vm_paddr_t, which is of size 8 bytes. Fix this by
saving it as 8 bytes in the loader and retrieving it using the proper type
in the kernel.

Implement a subset of the multiboot specification in order to boot Xen
and a FreeBSD Dom0 from the FreeBSD bootloader. This multiboot
implementation is tailored to boot Xen and FreeBSD Dom0, and it will
most surely fail to boot any other multiboot compilant kernel.
In order to detect and boot the Xen microkernel, two new file formats
are added to the bootloader, multiboot and multiboot_obj. Multiboot
support must be tested before regular ELF support, since Xen is a
multiboot kernel that also uses ELF. After a multiboot kernel is
detected, all the other loaded kernels/modules are parsed by the
multiboot_obj format.
The layout of the loaded objects in memory is the following; first the
Xen kernel is loaded as a 32bit ELF into memory (Xen will switch to
long mode by itself), after that the FreeBSD kernel is loaded as a RAW
file (Xen will parse and load it using it's internal ELF loader), and
finally the metadata and the modules are loaded using the native
FreeBSD way. After everything is loaded we jump into Xen's entry point
using a small trampoline. The order of the multiboot modules passed to
Xen is the following, the first module is the RAW FreeBSD kernel, and
the second module is the metadata and the FreeBSD modules.
Since Xen will relocate the memory position of the second
multiboot module (the one that contains the metadata and native
FreeBSD modules), we need to stash the original modulep address inside
of the metadata itself in order to recalculate its position once
booted. This also means the metadata must come before the loaded
modules, so after loading the FreeBSD kernel a portion of memory is
reserved in order to place the metadata before booting.
In order to tell the loader to boot Xen and then the FreeBSD kernel the
following has to be added to the /boot/loader.conf file:
xen_cmdline="dom0_mem=1024M dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0pvh=1 console=com1,vga"
xen_kernel="/boot/xen"
The first argument contains the command line that will be passed to the Xen
kernel, while the second argument is the path to the Xen kernel itself. This
can also be done manually from the loader command line, by for example
typing the following set of commands:
OK unload
OK load /boot/xen dom0_mem=1024M dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0pvh=1 console=com1,vga
OK load kernel
OK load zfs
OK load if_tap
OK load ...
OK boot
