- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:

- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

defined. This lets each boot program choose which version of cgbase() it
wants to use rather than forcing ufsread.c to have that knowledge.

order. The kernel used to shuffle them around to get things right,
but that was recently fixed. This makes our boot loader match the
behavior of most other boot loaders for the atmel parts. This bug was
inherited from the Kwikbyte loader that we started from.
This bug was discovered by Bj.ANvrn KNvnig back in June, but fell on the
floor. He provided patches to the kernel, include backwards
compatibility options that were similar to Olivier's if_ate.c commit.
Add support for the CENTIPAD board (http://www.harerod.de/centipad/index.html)
(which is a very cool, very small ARM board)
Add support for KB9202B (it has different memory)
Make BOOT_FLAVOR settable

GetSeconds(). Instead, use CRTR register shifted right 15. This
gives us a range of 32 seconds we can do for timeout.
Shift to using == rather than < or > for calculating the timeout,
since if we can't read the ST_CTRT register twice in a second we have
even bigger problems to worry about, and == deals with the 'wrap'
issue.
This lets me type at the boot2 prompt again! Woo Hoo!

CSD is usually 512 (well, 9), but for 2GB (and the rogue 4GB SD cards)
it is 1024 (or 2048 for 4GB). This value doesn't work for the block
read commands (which really want 512). Hardcode 512 for those. This
may break really old MMC cards that don't have a 512 block size (I've
never seen one: make my day and send me one :-), but since the MMC
side of the house is currently broken, it should only have the effect
that 2GB (and non-conforming 4GB) SD cards will work.
My 'non-conforming' 4GB SD card also works now too. The
non-conforming 4GB SD cards were sold for a while before the SD
association was worried they would be (a) incompatible (different FAT
flavor on them) and (b) confusing for the new SDHC standard and
cracked down on suppliers' bogus use of the SD trademark...
The changes to getstr() is so that the character that is
passed in to it, is also processed just as the rest. I also
removed one of the getc() calls otherwise you loose every
second character.
I also changed the strcpy of kname, so that it only happens if
kname is '\0'. This is so that one can pass a kernel in
through /boot.config.
The last change to boot2.c is in parse(). If you tried to type
a kernel name to boot, the first character was lost, the arg--
fix that.

Massive update. The highlights:
o dramatically cut memory usage by writing better, less intertwingled
code.
o implement booting off mmc/sd cards (sd only tested one at the moment)
o start to split out board specific stuff for boot2.
8k boundary with this program still.
text data bss dec hex filename
7925 4 4476 12405 3075 bootiic.out
so we have like 293 bytes left before we have to play games. There
may be ways to reduce that somewhat, but they start to be very board
specific.
