virtual 86 mode to query the BIOS directly. This is needed for certain
HP machines whose BIOS only provide an SMAP when invoked from real mode.
On such machines the loader will be able to query the SMAP successfully
due to the recent BTX changes, but the kernel will not.
One thing I'm not sure of is if we can skip the INT 12h probe altogether
if we have the SMAP from the loader as it seems that we do the INT 12h
probe to setup enough state so we can use vm86 to call the BIOS.

ABI and the direction flag, that is it now assumes that the direction
flag is cleared at the entry of a function and it doesn't clear once
more if needed. This new behaviour conforms to the i386/amd64 ABI.
Modify the signal handler frame setup code to clear the DF {e,r}flags
bit on the amd64/i386 for the signal handlers.
jhb@ noted that it might break old apps if they assumed DF == 1 would be
preserved in the signal handlers, but that such apps should be rare and
that older versions of gcc would not generate such apps.

by default rather than the setmask. This is consistent with the linux
tool and more consistent with the notion that the default level is
the process level. The cpuset mask can still be modified by specifying
the -c option. You can not set the per-thread and cpuset mask in
a single command.

PhysMask fields based on the number of physical address bits supported
by the current CPU. The old code assumed 36 bits on i386 and 40 bits on
amd64. In truth, all Intel CPUs up until recently used 36 bits (a newer
Intel CPU uses 38 bits) and all the Opteron CPUs used 40 bits.
In at least one case (the new Intel CPU) having the size of the mask field
wrong resulted in writing questionable values into the MTRR registers on
the application processors (BSP as well if you modify the MTRRs via
memcontrol or running X, etc.). The result of the questionable physmask
was that all of memory was apparently treated as uncached rather than
write-back resulting in a very significant performance hit.
Fix this by constructing a run-time mask for the PhysBase and PhysMask
fields based on the number of physical address bits supported by the CPU.
All 64-bit capable CPUs provide a count of PA bits supported via the
0x80000008 extended CPUID feature, so use that if it is available. If that
feature is not available, then assume 36 PA bits.
While I'm here, expand the (now-unused) macros for the PhysBase and
PhysMask fields to the current largest possible value (52 PA bits).

filename table whose size is less than 65536 bytes.
The original intention was to not consume the filename table, so the
client will have a chance to look at it. To achieve that, the library
call decompressor->read_ahead to read(look ahead) but do not call
decompressor->consume to consume the data, thus a limit was raised
since read_ahead call can only look ahead at most BUFFER_SIZE(65536)
bytes at the moment, and you can not "look any further" before you
consume what you already "saw".
This commit will turn GNU/SVR4 filename table into "archive format
data", i.e., filename table will be consumed by libarchive, so the
65536-bytes limit will be gone, but client can no longer have access
to the content of filename table.
'ar' support test suite is changed accordingly. BSD ar(1) is not
affected by this change since it doesn't look at the filename table.

hangs (one at boot, one at shutdown) in recent machines. First, only try
to take ownership of the EHCI controller if the BIOS currently owns the
controller. On a HP DL160 G5, the machine hangs when we try to take
ownership. Second, don't bother trying to give up ownership of the
controller during shutdown. It's not strictly required and a Dell DCS S29
hangs on shutdown after the config write.
Both of these changes match the behavior of the Linux EHCI driver. I also
think both of these hangs are caused by bugs in the BIOS' SMM handler
causing it to get stuck in an infinite loop in SMM.

Underlying firmware (U-Boot) would typically program MAC address into the

retrieve and program MAC address for all units properly, provided they were

This was introduced as a workaround long time ago for some Alpha firmware
(which is now gone), and actually prevented net_close() to ever be
called.
Certain firmwares (U-Boot) need local shutdown operations to be performed on a
network controller upon transaction end: such platform-specific hooks are
supposed to be called via netif_close() (from within net_close()).
This change effectively reverts the following CVS commit:
sys/boot/common/dev_net.c
revision 1.7
date: 2000/05/13 15:40:46; author: dfr; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1
Only probe network settings on the first open of the network device.
The alpha firmware takes a seriously long time to open the network device
the first time.
Also suppress excessive output while netbooting via loader, unless debugging.
While there, make sys/boot/uboot more style(9) compliant.
