The new bcache code does not know the size of the disk, and therefore may attempt to read past the end of the disk while trying to fill its read-ahead cache.
This is usually not an issue, it fails gracefully on all of my machines, but some BIOSes seem to retry the reads for up to 30 seconds each, resulting in a long stall during boot

rounddown2 tends to produce longer lines than the original code
and when the code has a high indentation level it was not really
advantageous to do the replacement.
This tries to strike a balance between readability using the macros
and flexibility of having the expressions, so not everything is
converted.
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 should bring the same functionality when the bootp/dhcp work is done
by loader(8) as r297150 does for the in-kernel BOOTP case.
the boot loader should not skip over these anymore while loading images.
Otherwise the kernel can still panic when it doesn't find the .eh_frame
section belonging to the .rela.eh_frame section.
Unfortunately this will require installing boot loaders from sys/boot
before attempting to boot with a new kernel.

PR: 206659
When processing loader.conf if console contained an entry for an unsupported
console then cons_set would return an error refusing to set any console.
This has two side effects:
1. Forth would throw a syntax error and stop processing loader.conf at that
point.
2. The value of console is ignored.
#1 Means other important loader.conf entries may not be processed, which is
clearly undesirable.
#2 Means the users preference for console aren't applied even if they did
contain valid options. Now we have support for multi boot paths from a
single image e.g. bios and efi mode the console preference needs to deal
with the need to set preference for more than one source.
Fix this by:
* Returning CMD_OK where possible from cons_set.
* Allowing set with at least one valid console to proceed.

This is not properly respecting WITHOUT or ARCH dependencies in target/.
Doing so requires a massive effort to rework targets/ to do so. A
better approach will be to either include the SUBDIR Makefiles directly
and map to DIRDEPS or just dynamically lookup the SUBDIR. These lose
the benefit of having a userland/lib, userland/libexec, etc, though and
results in a massive package. The current implementation of targets/ is

Also, in the event the build was interrupted when creating vers.c

than bootp and rarp.
The code which splits a serverip:/rootpath string into rootip and a plain
pathname is now a separate net_parse_rootpath() function that can be
called by others. The code that sets the kernel env vars needed for
nfs_diskless is moved into net_open() so that the variables get set no
matter where the params came from.
There was already code in net_open() that allowed for the possibility that
some other entity has set up the network-related global variables. It uses
the rootip variable as the key, assuming that if it is set all the other
required variables are set too. These changes don't alter the existing
behavior, they just make it easier to actually write some new code to get
the params from another source (such as the U-Boot environment).
Previously, ubldr would use the virtual addresses in the elf headers by
masking off the high bits and assuming the result was a physical address
where the kernel should be loaded. That would sometimes discard
significant bits of the physical address, but the effects of that were
undone by archsw copy code that would find a large block of memory and
apply an offset to the source/dest copy addresses. The result was that
things were loaded at a different physical address than requested by the
higher code layers, but that worked because other adjustments were applied
later (such as when jumping to the entry point). Very confusing, and
somewhat fragile.
Now the archsw copy routines are just simple copies, and instead
archsw.arch_loadaddr is implemented to choose a load address. The new
routine uses some of the code from the old offset-translation routine to
find the largest block of ram, but it excludes ubldr itself from that
range, and also excludes If ubldr splits the largest block of ram in
two, the kernel is loaded into the bottom of whichever resulting block is
larger.
As part of eliminating ubldr itself from the ram ranges, export the heap
start/end addresses in a pair of new global variables.
This change means that the virtual addresses in the arm kernel elf headers
now have no meaning at all, except for the entry point address. There is
an implicit assumption that the entry point is in the first text page, and
that the address in the the header can be turned into an offset by masking
it with PAGE_MASK. In the future we can link all arm kernels at a virtual
address of 0xC0000000 with no need to use any low-order part of the
address to influence where in ram the kernel gets loaded.
The function was defined as taking 4 parameters and returning EFI_STATUS,
but all existing callers (in asm code) passed only two parameters and don't
use the return value. The function signature now matches that usage, and
doesn't refer to efi-specific types.
Parameters and variables now use the cannonical typenames set up by elf.h
(Elf_Word, Elf_Addr, etc) instead of raw C types. Hopefully this will
prevent suprises as new platforms come along and use this code.
The function was renamed from _reloc() to self_reloc() to emphasize its
difference from the other elf relocation code found in boot/common.

Implement a subset of the multiboot specification in order to boot Xen
and a FreeBSD Dom0 from the FreeBSD bootloader. This multiboot
implementation is tailored to boot Xen and FreeBSD Dom0, and it will
most surely fail to boot any other multiboot compilant kernel.
In order to detect and boot the Xen microkernel, two new file formats
are added to the bootloader, multiboot and multiboot_obj. Multiboot
support must be tested before regular ELF support, since Xen is a
multiboot kernel that also uses ELF. After a multiboot kernel is
detected, all the other loaded kernels/modules are parsed by the
multiboot_obj format.
The layout of the loaded objects in memory is the following; first the
Xen kernel is loaded as a 32bit ELF into memory (Xen will switch to
long mode by itself), after that the FreeBSD kernel is loaded as a RAW
file (Xen will parse and load it using it's internal ELF loader), and
finally the metadata and the modules are loaded using the native
FreeBSD way. After everything is loaded we jump into Xen's entry point
using a small trampoline. The order of the multiboot modules passed to
Xen is the following, the first module is the RAW FreeBSD kernel, and
the second module is the metadata and the FreeBSD modules.
Since Xen will relocate the memory position of the second
multiboot module (the one that contains the metadata and native
FreeBSD modules), we need to stash the original modulep address inside
of the metadata itself in order to recalculate its position once
booted. This also means the metadata must come before the loaded
modules, so after loading the FreeBSD kernel a portion of memory is
reserved in order to place the metadata before booting.
In order to tell the loader to boot Xen and then the FreeBSD kernel the
following has to be added to the /boot/loader.conf file:
xen_cmdline="dom0_mem=1024M dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0pvh=1 console=com1,vga"
xen_kernel="/boot/xen"
The first argument contains the command line that will be passed to the Xen
kernel, while the second argument is the path to the Xen kernel itself. This
can also be done manually from the loader command line, by for example
typing the following set of commands:
OK unload
OK load /boot/xen dom0_mem=1024M dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0pvh=1 console=com1,vga
OK load kernel
OK load zfs
OK load if_tap
OK load ...
OK boot
