Since we have dedicated libefi/env.c file for variable support, the following
changes are done:
Simple cstyle changes in env.c
Moved efi variable related commands from loader/main.c to libefi/env.c
Did create function to set "efi-version" environment variable in env.c.
This function does serve two purposes: for first a small clean up of the
loader main(), and for second, it does replace the otherwise unused
efi_variable_support hack.
A bit of cleanup of ficl backend functions. The TEST_MAIN has no meaning,
and removed few memory leaks.
The forth code is updated to use "efi-version" variable, instead of ficl
environment check.

The find_currdev() is using variable "copy" to store the reference to trimmed
devpath pointer, if for some reason the efi_devpath_handle() fails, we will
leak this copy.

This change does modify devsw dv_print() to return the int value,
enabling walkers to interrupt the walk on non zero value from dv_print().
This will allow the pager_print actually to stop displaying data on
user input, and additionally pager is used in various *dev_print callbacks,
where it was missing.
For test, lsdev [-v] command should display data by screenfuls and should
stop when the key 'q' is pressed on pager prompt.

etc. can find out where the SMBIOS entry point is located. In pure
UEFI mode the BIOS is not mapped into the standard address space so the
SMBIOS table might not appear between 0xf0000 and 0xfffff. The
UEFI environment can report this the location of the anchor. If it is
reported then expose it as hint.smbios.0.mem. This can then be used
by other tools. However, we should make smbios(4) useful and have it
take this value and provide accesor function so ipmi(4) etc. don't
have to parse and figure things about the SMBIOS table. I have some
simple patches to smbios(4) to expose this address as sysctl and
for ipmi(4) to get the base address. However, the real fix is to
have ipmi(4) ask smbios(4) for what it wants and have smbios(4)
parse it out and return it. This would make smbios(4) useful and reduce
duplicated code. If this address doesn't point to the anchor then
finding SMBIOS info. will fail as if this didn't exist. So there should
be no harm.
With this change and the following hack, dmidecode works on a bunch of
UEFI machines that I tested:
if kenv hint.smbios.0.mem > /dev/null
then
mkdir -p /sys/firmware/efi
mount -t tmpfs -o size=8k tmpfs /sys/firmware/efi
echo "SMBIOS=`kenv hint.smbios.0.mem`" > /sys/firmware/efi/systab
fi
Linux exposes this information via the /sys/firmware/efi/systab file which
dmidecode looks at. We should update dmidecode to do this the FreeBSD
way when we determine what that is!

1. Size returned for variable name is in bytes, not CHAR16 (the
UEFI standard is unclear on this, where it is clear on the size of
the variable).
2. Dynamically allocate the buffers so we can grow them if someone
defines a super-long variable name.
These two fixes allow me to examine all the variables in my BIOS and
also removes the repeated printing of variables.

In r277943, the efinet_match() routine was changed to use an off by one
when matching network interfaces. The effect was that using "net1"
actually used the device attached to "net0".
Digging into the hardware that needed this workaround more, I found that
UEFI was creating two simple network protocol devices for each physical
NIC. The first device was a "raw" Ethernet device and the second device
was a "IP" device that used the IP protocol on top of the underlying
"raw" device. The PXE code in the firmware used the "IP" device to pull
across the loader.efi, so currdev was set to "net1" when booting from the
physical interface "net0". (The loaded image's device handle referenced
the "IP" device that "net1" claimed.)
However, the IP device isn't suitable for doing raw packet I/O (and the
current code to open devices exclusively actually turns the "IP" devices
off on these systems).
To fix, change the efinet driver to only attach to "raw" devices. This
is determined by fetching the DEVICE_PATH for each handle which supports
the simple network protocol and examining the last node in the path. If
the last node in the path is a MAC address, the device is assumed to be
a "raw" device and is added as a 'netX' device. If the last node is not
a MAC address, the device is ignored.
However, this causes a new problem as the device handle associated with
the loaded image no longer matches any of the handles enumerated by
efinet for systems that load the image via the "IP" device. To handle
this case, expand the logic that resolves currdev from the loaded image
in main(). First, the existing logic of looking for a handle that
matches the loaded image's handle is tried. If that fails, the device
path of the handle that loaded the loaded image is fetched via
efi_lookup_image_devpath(). This device path is then walked from the
end up to the beginning using efi_handle_lookup() to fetch the handle
associated with a path. If the handle is found and is a known handle,
then that is used as currdev. The effect for machines that load the
image via the "IP" device is that the first lookup fails (the handle
for the "IP" device isn't claimed by efinet), but walking up the
image's device path finds the handle of the raw MAC device which is used
as currdev.
With these fixes in place, the hack to subtract 1 from the unit can now
be removed, so that setting currdev to 'net0' actually uses 'net0'.

I just committed.
The block cache implementation in loader has proven to be almost useless, and in worst case even slowing down the disk reads due to insufficient cache size and extra memory copy.
Also the current cache implementation does not cache reads from CDs, or work with zfs built on top of multiple disks.
Instead of an LRU, this code uses a simple hash (O(1) read from cache), and instead of a single global cache, a separate cache per block device.
The cache also implements limited read-ahead to increase performance.
To simplify read ahead management, the read ahead will not wrap over bcache end, so in worst case, single block physical read will be performed to fill the last block in bcache.

This builds on the modular EFI loader support added r294060 adding a
module to provide ZFS boot support on EFI systems.
It should be noted that EFI uses a fixed size memory block for all
allocations performed by the loader so it may be necessary to tune this
size.
For example when building an image which uses mfs_root e.g. mfsbsd, adding
the following to /etc/make.conf would be needed to prevent EFI from running
out of memory when loading the mfs_root image.

EFI file system. When booting from a CD and there's already an EFI
system partition on the disk, setting the current device to unit 0
will select the harddisk. This invariably breaks installing FreeBSD
when other operating systems have been installed before.
We obviously want to do the same when we're booting over the network.
Maybe later.
Based on a patch (from memory) from: arun
NULL is passed. The address of the HCDP table can be found by
iterating over the configuration tables in the EFI system table.
To avoid more duplication, a function can be called with the GUID
of interest. The function will do the scanning. Use the function
in all places where we iterate over the configuration tables in
an attempt to find a specific one.
Bump the loader version number as the result of this.

accept load options (=command line options).
The call graph changes from *entry*->efi_main->efi_init, where
efi_main is the EFI equivalent of main to *entry*->efi_main->main,
where main is what you'd expect. efi_main now is what efi_init was.
The prototype of main follows that of C. The first argument is argc
and the second is argv. There is no third argument.
Allocation of heap pages is now handled by the EFI library and it
now deallocates the pages when main() returns or when exit() is
called. This allows us to safely return to the boot manager (or
EFI shell) without leaks. EFI applications are responsible to free
all memory themselves.
Handling of the load options is a bit tricky. There are either no
load options, load options in ASCII or load options in Unicode.
The EFI library will translate the ASCII options to Unicode options
as to simplify user code. Since the load options are passed as a
single string (if present) and main() accepts argc and argv, the
startup code also has to split the string into words and build the
argv vector. Here the trickiness starts. When the loader is started
from the EFI shell, argv[0] will automaticly load the program name.
In all other cases (ie through the boot manager), this is not the
case. Unfortunately, there's no trivial way to check. Hence, a
set of conditions is checked to determine if we need to fill in
argv[0] ourselves or not. This checking is not perfect. There are
known cases where it fails to do the right thing. The logic works
for most expected cases, though. This includes the case where no
options are given.

a boot option. When the timer expires the machine is rebooted.
Disable the watchdog timer for 2 reasons:
o We're an interactive program. We cannot guarantee that we've
booted the kernel in the time available to us. There have been
situations where netbooting the right kernel took 2 tries and
more time than given. Not to speak of the normal behaviour to
have the loader sitting at the prompt while the user is off
doing other things (such as figuring out what to type next ;-)
o We may not boot a kernel at all. We may exit as the result of
the user typing quit (assuming it took less than 5 minutes to
type it :-). It is documented that loaders should have disabled
the watchdog timer if they return to the boot manager. Not doing
so would cause a reboot while in the boot manager. This appears
to be harmless, besides of course the actual reboot.
