Change the ELF registration/unregistration scheme to be less error prone.
Adding a new brand requires a single addition to linux_brandlist instead of
modifying linux_load(), linux_unload(), and linux_elf_init().

Formerly, the heuristic involving the interpreter path took
precedence.
Also, print a better error message if the brand is missing or not
recognized. If there is no brand at all, give the user a hint that
"brandelf" needs to be run.
Remove /sys/boot from legacy-build.
Add btxld to build-tools.
In src/sys/Makefile:
Add /sys/boot for i386 ELF.
I'm still not sure why the new boot code was being built along with the
legacy stuff, which meant a completely wrong default environment for it.
This may well still be the wrong way to go about this, but it can't work
all that much worse than it has been.
difference, but might later on when we implement some sort of multi-head
console mode. Select a console after probing them all.
Don't strdup a potentially NULL return from getenv().
If we don't select an active console, choose the first regardless.
Call the console init function, at startup time and on a manual change.
The env_setenv() function needs EV_VOLATILE because it's pointing to
data that isn't malloc'ed and will cause a fault if it's freed later.
Cosmetic change to the init-time character eater (like, make it increment
the index counter - if there's a problem, it would sit there in an infinite
loop instead of only running 10 times).
Also, make sure we set %dx each time around otherwise the commands
suddenly start trying to work on things like com92 instead of com1.
Make sure comc_init() is only run once.
Cosmetic change to init-time character eater.
fxp_stop is called as the first thing in fxp_init, and if the tx desc
list has junk in it, the system may panic. This bug showed up as a side
effect of the changes in rev 1.56, but has been in the code since the
beginning.
Linux and FreeBSD signal numbers. Also, check signal numbers passed
in from application programs for validity. Without these checks,
it is trivial to panic the system from a Linux program.
be converted to fixed-sized integers when they are passed across the
binary interface to the kernel.
Didn't fix rotted bits (including not passing dosdev to the kernel and
serious out of dateness when initially committed).
this myself for ages, but wasn't able to get any feedback from the people
that I sent it to for testing.
Guy Helmer <ghelmer@scl.ameslab.gov> has given it a shot (before getting on
a plane, thanks!) and it appears to stop his reproducable page fault panic
in the testing he was able to do.
o For bt and aha only probe the one I/O range if a specific I/O is specified
in the config file.
o Don't even try to probe I/O ranges that have been seen already.
o If we conflict with an IRQ or DRQ, then fail the probe.

Implement preloading in a fairly MI way, assuming the information is
prepared.
DDB interface helpers.. Provide some support for db_kld.c so that we
don't have to export too much detail.
Debugging and cosmetic nits left in from development..
The other half of the containing file hack so modules can associate
themselves with their "file".
but I can't think of another (relatively) easy way of getting the info
since the boot-time initialization is not done immediately after "loading".
XXX module_register() gained an extra arg. This might break the alpha
compile, if so, just add a zero to get the old behavior.
should probably be moved to i386/i386/link_machdep.c (and the same for the
alpha).
Implement "deleting" a preloaded module by destroying it's tags. This is a
hack. We cannot reuse the data, it's been destroyed by relocation,
statically initialized variables have been modified, etc. Note that to
reclaim the load space is going to be more machine-dependent work.
Implement a relocate hook for machdep.c to call so that the physical
addresses get converted to the equivalent KVM addresses.
- seperate unload for preloaded linker objects.
- Don't build a kernel object if running as an a.out kernel.
- extract the real kernel name rather than hardwiring "kernel" for kldstat.
(sysctl kern.bootfile getst the full name via bootinfo)
- use real addresses on the kernel "module" rather than fictitious ones.
- preloaded module support
- search module path for file modules.
- symbols are checked to see if they are in the right containing file
before using their indexes into string tables. This is to help ddb
since it only supplies a pointer to an opaque symbol and there is no
telling which file/object/module/whatever it came from.
