member secsz was a uint16_t
sys/boot/zfs/zfs.c has a probe args structure member, secsz, that is a
uint16_t for media sector size; it is used as an argument for ioctl()
at line 484. however, this ioctl writes 32 bits of data (u_int *) and
therefore this ioctl will overwrite and corrupt 16 bits of memory.
other use cases seem to use correct u_int type for secsz.

a problem on 32-bit systems which have ram occupying the end of the physical

providing compiled-in static environment data that is used instead of any
data passed in from a boot loader.
Previously 'env' worked only on i386 and arm xscale systems, because it
required the MD startup code to examine the global envmode variable and
decide whether to use static_env or an environment obtained from the boot
loader, and set the global kern_envp accordingly. Most startup code wasn't
doing so. Making things even more complex, some mips startup code uses an
alternate scheme that involves calling init_static_kenv() to pass an empty
buffer and its size, then uses a series of kern_setenv() calls to populate
that buffer.
Now all MD startup code calls init_static_kenv(), and that routine provides
a single point where envmode is checked and the decision is made whether to
use the compiled-in static_kenv or the values provided by the MD code.
The routine also continues to serve its original purpose for mips; if a
non-zero buffer size is passed the routine installs the empty buffer ready
to accept kern_setenv() values. Now if the size is zero, the provided buffer
full of existing env data is installed. A NULL pointer can be passed if the
boot loader provides no env data; this allows the static env to be installed
if envmode is set to do so.
Most of the work here is a near-mechanical change to call the init function
instead of directly setting kern_envp. A notable exception is in xen/pv.c;
that code was originally installing a buffer full of preformatted env data
along with its non-zero size (like mips code does), which would have allowed
kern_setenv() calls to wipe out the preformatted data. Now it passes a zero
for the size so that the buffer of data it installs is treated as
non-writeable.
libstand is built in three places (lib/libstand, sys/boot/libstand32,
and sys/boot/userboot/libstand). Reduce Makefile duplication by
.including libstand/Makefile from sys/boot/libstand32/Makefile.

contains additional differences yet to be handled.
This change also switches libstand32 to use the new uuid_from_string

It's a good thing UGA is a protocol of the past and GOP has all the

Anyway, the logic has been tweaked a little to get the easier bits

detect pixel changes in the frame buffer, which indicates
that the problem could be with reading from the frame buffer
and not writing to it.
PCI BARs does not necessarily correspond to the upper-left
most pixel. Scan the frame buffer for which byte changed
when changing the pixel at (0,0).
Use the same technique to determine the stride. Except for
changing the pixel at (0,0), we change the pixel at (0,1).

The code which splits a serverip:/rootpath string into rootip and a plain

called by others. The code that sets the kernel env vars needed for
nfs_diskless is moved into net_open() so that the variables get set no
matter where the params came from.
There was already code in net_open() that allowed for the possibility that
some other entity has set up the network-related global variables. It uses
the rootip variable as the key, assuming that if it is set all the other
required variables are set too. These changes don't alter the existing
behavior, they just make it easier to actually write some new code to get
the params from another source (such as the U-Boot environment).
Previously, ubldr would use the virtual addresses in the elf headers by
masking off the high bits and assuming the result was a physical address
where the kernel should be loaded. That would sometimes discard
significant bits of the physical address, but the effects of that were
undone by archsw copy code that would find a large block of memory and
apply an offset to the source/dest copy addresses. The result was that
things were loaded at a different physical address than requested by the
higher code layers, but that worked because other adjustments were applied
later (such as when jumping to the entry point). Very confusing, and
somewhat fragile.
Now the archsw copy routines are just simple copies, and instead
archsw.arch_loadaddr is implemented to choose a load address. The new
routine uses some of the code from the old offset-translation routine to
find the largest block of ram, but it excludes ubldr itself from that
range, and also excludes If ubldr splits the largest block of ram in
two, the kernel is loaded into the bottom of whichever resulting block is
larger.
As part of eliminating ubldr itself from the ram ranges, export the heap
start/end addresses in a pair of new global variables.
This change means that the virtual addresses in the arm kernel elf headers
now have no meaning at all, except for the entry point address. There is
an implicit assumption that the entry point is in the first text page, and
that the address in the the header can be turned into an offset by masking
it with PAGE_MASK. In the future we can link all arm kernels at a virtual
address of 0xC0000000 with no need to use any low-order part of the
address to influence where in ram the kernel gets loaded.
The Alpine Platform-On-Chip offers multicore processing
(quad ARM Cortex-A15), 1/10Gb Ethernet, SATA 3, PCI-E 3,
DMA engines, Virtualization, Advanced Power Management and other.
This code drop involves basic platform support including:
SMP, IRQs, SerDes, SATA. As of now it is missing the PCIe support.
Part of the functionality is provided by the low-level code (HAL)
delivered by the chip vendor (Annapurna Labs) and is a subject to
change in the future (is planned to be moved to sys/contrib directory).

static-linked to run at a fixed position, is still installed to maintain
compatibility with existing configurations. The makefile now also creates
and installs ubldr.bin, a stripped binary (no elf headers) with an entry
point offset of 0 that can be loaded by u-boot at any address and launched
with "go ${loadaddr}".
To use ubldr.bin, U-Boot must still be built with the CONFIG_API option,
but no longer needs the CONFIG_ELF option.
return a value.
Despite what I said in my prior commit, it turns out this one platform
was checking the return value from the old self-reloc code (which returned
a hard-coded 0).
The function was defined as taking 4 parameters and returning EFI_STATUS,
but all existing callers (in asm code) passed only two parameters and don't
use the return value. The function signature now matches that usage, and
doesn't refer to efi-specific types.
Parameters and variables now use the cannonical typenames set up by elf.h
(Elf_Word, Elf_Addr, etc) instead of raw C types. Hopefully this will
prevent suprises as new platforms come along and use this code.
The function was renamed from _reloc() to self_reloc() to emphasize its
difference from the other elf relocation code found in boot/common.
