Add a man page for gptboot.efi. Describe when and how to use this as it differs
from the BIOS cases. Include cross reference for the preferred method described
in efibootmgr(8) as well as cross links in both gptboot(8) and gptboot.efi(8) to
the other.
This man page was heavily copied from the gptboot.8 man page by Warren Block.
They are different enough to need separate man pages for clarity, but there's
enough similarity that I worry about the duplication. In the really long term,
gptboot(8) will disappear, so having the same info here will help when that
day comes. In the short to medium term, the information is likely to not
change in gptboot(8) and any changes to gptboot.efi(8) will be easier to
make in a separate copy.
loader.efi(8) needs a complete rewrite from scratch, otherwise I'd have
referenced gptboot.efi(8) from there.

we have crc32(const void *, size_t) in libsa. Unfortunately zlib has
crc32(long, const unigned char *, unsigned) and we have conflict.
Since we do build libsa with zlib, we can use zlib version instead.

LLD 10.0.0 changed the behavior of the -Ttext option, so that using
-Ttext=0x0 now causes linking of the loaders to fail with:
ld: error: output file too large: 18446744073707016908 bytes
I reported this in https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44715, and
initially reverted the upstream change in r357259 to work around it.
However, after some discussion with Fangrui Song in the upstream ticket,
I think we can classify this as an unfortunate interaction between using
-Ttext=0 in combination with --no-rosegment. (We added the latter
in r332090, because btxld does not correctly handle input with more
than 2 PT_LOAD segments.)
Fangrui suggested to use a linker script instead, and Warner was already
attempting this in r305353, but had to revert it due to "crypto-using
boot problems" (not sure what those were :).
This review updates the stand/i386/boot.ldscript to handle more
sections, inserts some symbols like _edata and such that we use in
libsa, and also discards any .interp section.
It uses ORG which is defined on the linker command line using
--defsym ORG=value to set the start of all the sections.

partitions can have 128 partitions, so parse contiguous digits and then
validate that the number is between 1-128 inclusive.
I'm not sure 128 is a hard limit in the GPT standard, but it's the common
number in use, and it's a better upper limit than 9.
When loader(8) is built with zfs support enabled, it assumes that any extarg
data present is a zfs_boot_args struct, but if the first-stage loader was
gptboot(8) the extarg data is actually a geli_boot_args struct. Luckily,
zfsboot(8) and gptzfsboot(8) have always passed KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS along with
KARGS_FLAGS_EXTARG, so we can use KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS to decide whether the
extarg data is a zfs_boot_args struct.
To avoid similar problems in the future, gptboot(8) now passes a new
KARGS_FLAGS_GELI to indicate that extarg data is geli_boot_args. In
loader(8), if the neither KARGS_FLAGS_ZFS nor KARGS_FLAGS_GELI is set but
extarg data is present (which will be the case for gptboot compiled before
this change), we now check for the known size of the geli_boot_args struct
passed by the older versions of gptboot as a way of confirming what type of
extarg data is present.
In a semi-related tidying up, since loader's main() has already decided
what type of extarg data is present and set the global 'zargs' var
accordingly, don't repeat the check in extract_currdev, just check whether
zargs is NULL or not.

of args data between gptboot/zfsboot and loader(8).
Despite what seems like a lot of changes here, there are no actual
changes in behavior, or in the data layout in the structures involved.
This is just eliminating identical code pasted into multiple locations.
In detail, the changes are...
- Move struct zfs_boot_args definition from libsa/zfs/libzfs.h to
i386/common/bootargs.h because it is specific to x86 booting and the
handoff between zfsboot and loader, and has no relation to the zfs
library code in general.
- The geli_boot_args and zfs_boot_args structs both contain an identical
set of member variables containing geli information. Extract this out
to a new geli_boot_data struct, and embed it in the arg-passing structs.
- Provide new routines geli_import_boot_data() and geli_export_boot_data()
that can be shared between gptboot, zfsboot, and loader instead of
pasting identical code into several different .c files.
- Remove some checks for a NULL pointer that can never be true because the
pointer being tested was set using pointer math (kargs + 1) and that can
never result in NULL in this code.
in gptboot.
When arch-independent geli support was added, a new static 'gdsk' struct
was added, but there was still a static 'dsk' struct, and when you typed
in an alternate disk/partition, the string was parsed into that struct,
which was then never used for anything. Now the string gets parsed into
gdsk.dsk, the struct that's actually used.

Many components under stand/ had CLANG_NO_IAS added when Clang's
Integrated Assembler (IAS) did not handle .codeNN directives. Clang
gained support quite some time ago, and we can now build stand/ with
IAS.
Note that in some cases there are small differences in the generated
output, so CLANG_NO_IAS should be removed only after testing (or after
finding no differences in the output).

This moves the bulk of the geli support from lib386/biosdisk.c into a new
geli/gelidev.c which implements a devsw-type device whose dv_strategy()
function handles geli decryption. Support for all arches comes from moving
the taste-and-attach code to the devopen() function in libsa.
After opening any DEVT_DISK device, devopen() calls the new function
geli_probe_and_attach(), which will "attach" the geli code to the open_file
struct by creating a geli_devdesc instance to replace the disk_devdesc
instance in the open_file. That routes all IO for the device through the
geli code.
A new public geli_add_key() function is added, to allow arch/vendor-specific
code to add keys obtained from custom hardware or other sources.
With these changes, geli support will be compiled into all variations of
loader(8) on all arches because the default is WITH_LOADER_GELI.

Reduce by 1 the number of crazy libraries we need in stand by moving
geli into libsa (where architecturally it belonged all along). This
just moves things around without any code changes.
Normally the serial console is not enabled until /boot.config is read and
we know how the serial console should be configured. Initialize the
consoles early in 'dual' mode (serial & keyboard) with a default serial
rate of 115200. Then serial is re-initialized once the disk is decrypted
and the /boot.config file can be read.
This allows the GELIBoot passphrase to be provided via the serial console.

weren't needed, and their existance interfered with things in subtle
ways. One of these subtle ways was that malloc could be different
based on what files were included when (even within the same .c file,
it turns out). Move to a single malloc implementation as well by
adding the calls to setheap() to gptboot.c and zfsboot.c. Once upon a
time, these boot loaders strove to not use libstand. However, with the
proliferation of features, that striving is too hard for too little
gain and lead to stupid mistakes.
This fixes the GELI-enabled (but not even using) boot environment. The
geli routines were calling libstand malloc but zfsboot.c and gptboot.c
were using the mini libstand malloc, so this failed when we tried to
probe for GELI partitions. Subtle changes in build order when moving
to self-contained stand build in r326593 toggled what it used from one
type to another due to odd nesting of the zfs implementation code that
differed subtly between zfsloader and zfsboot.
