because FreeBSD's boot1 does not use it, but other systems might.

above) exhibits some misbehaviours on machines with AMD64 CPUs,
which at least in some cases I have tracked down to a heap overflow.
It is unclear whether it depends on the CPU or on the pxe bios
itself which may use more memory on AMD machines.
Noticeably a pxeboot compiled from 6.x sources works fine on all
machines I have tried so far, while a pxeboot compiled from 7.x
sources does not.
This patch is a first step in reducing the amount of memory used
while processing the configuration files read by the loader at boot
(some of them are quite large, 1700+ lines), and it does so by:
+ moving a buffer to static memory instead of allocating in the heap;
+ skipping empty lines;
+ reducing the amount of memory used for line descriptors;
Unfortunately there are several changes between 6.x and above,
affecting the compiler, the loader code itself, and libstand,
and it is not so straightforward to
These changes fix the behaviour on one motherboard with a
single-core AMD cpu, but are still not enough e.g on an Asus

L2E(AR8113/AR8114). Unlike its predecessor Attansic L1,
AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 uses completely different Rx logic such that
it requires separate driver. Datasheet for AR81xx is not available

PHY logic of L1. I still don't understand some part of register

have no critical issues for performance and stability.
The AR81xx requires copy operation to pass received frames to upper
stack such that ale(4) consumes a lot of CPU cycles than that of
other controller. A couple of silicon bugs also adds more CPU
cycles to address the known hardware bug. However, if you have fast
CPU you can still saturate the link.
Currently ale(4) supports the following hardware features.

qemu either does not simulate the AT RTC correctly or

an incorrect value if the RTC is read while it is being
updated.
The effect is worsened by the fact that qemu's INT 15/86

broken and returns immediately, causing beastie.4th to
spin in a tight loop calling the "read RTC" function

- Install trampoline real mode interrupt handlers at IDT vectors 0x20-0x2f

invoking real mode routines either via a V86 request or a hardware

original user stack.
- Add some more block comments to explain how the code interacts with the
V86 structure as this wasn't immediately obvious from the prior comments
(e.g. that we explicitly copy the seg regs for real mode out of the V86
struct onto the stack to be popped off when going into real mode, etc.).
Also, document some of the stack frames we create going to real mode and

order. The kernel used to shuffle them around to get things right,

on i386 and amd64 machines. The overall process is that /boot/pmbr lives
in the PMBR (similar to /boot/mbr for MBR disks) and is responsible for
locating and loading /boot/gptboot. /boot/gptboot is similar to /boot/boot
except that it groks GPT rather than MBR + bsdlabel. Unlike /boot/boot,
/boot/gptboot lives in its own dedicated GPT partition with a new
"FreeBSD boot" type. This partition does not have a fixed size in that
/boot/pmbr will load the entire partition into the lower 640k. However,
it is limited in that it can only be 545k. That's still a lot better than
the current 7.5k limit for boot2 on MBR. gptboot mostly acts just like
boot2 in that it reads /boot.config and loads up /boot/loader. Some more
details:
- Include uuid_equal() and uuid_is_nil() in libstand.
- Add a new 'boot' command to gpt(8) which makes a GPT disk bootable using
/boot/pmbr and /boot/gptboot. Note that the disk must have some free
space for the boot partition.
- This required exposing the backend of the 'add' function as a
gpt_add_part() function to the rest of gpt(8). 'boot' uses this to
create a boot partition if needed.
- Don't cripple cgbase() in the UFS boot code for /boot/gptboot so that
it can handle a filesystem > 1.5 TB.
- /boot/gptboot has a simple loader (gptldr) that doesn't do any I/O
unlike boot1 since /boot/pmbr loads all of gptboot up front. The
C portion of gptboot (gptboot.c) has been repocopied from boot2.c.
The primary changes are to parse the GPT to find a root filesystem
and to use 64-bit disk addresses. Currently gptboot assumes that the
first UFS partition on the disk is the / filesystem, but this algorithm
will likely be improved in the future.
- Teach the biosdisk driver in /boot/loader to understand GPT tables.
GPT partitions are identified as 'disk0pX:' (e.g. disk0p2:) which is
similar to the /dev names the kernel uses (e.g. /dev/ad0p2).

- The code to manage an EDD or C/H/S I/O request are now in their own
routines. The EDD routine now handles a full 64-bit LBA instead of
truncating LBAs to the lower 32-bits. (MBRs and BSD labels only
have 32-bit LBAs anyway, so the only LBAs ever passed down were 32-bit).
- All of the bounce buffer and retry logic duplicated in bd_read() and
bd_write() are merged into a single bd_io() routine that takes an
extra direction argument. bd_read() and bd_write() are now simple
wrappers around bd_io().
- If a disk supports EDD then always use it rather than only using it if
the cylinder is > 1023. Other parts of the boot code already do
something similar to this. Also, GPT just uses LBAs, so for a GPT disk
it's probably best to ignore C/H/S completely. Always using EDD when
it is supported by a disk is an easy way to accomplish this.

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.

bioscom is called to set up serial port parameters because COMSPEED
was treated as an address instead of an immediate value, causing
serial port parameters to never be set.

The relevant changes for FreeBSD (excerpt from the release note):
* Newly implemented CORE EXT words: CASE, OF, ENDOF, and ENDCASE. Also
added FALLTHROUGH, which works like ENDOF but jumps to the instruction
just after the next OF.
* Bugfix: John-Hopkins locals syntax now accepts | and -- in the comment
(between the first -- and the }.)
* Bugfix: Changed vmGetWord0() to make Purify happier. The resulting
code is no slower, no larger, and slightly more robust.
I created and tested this with a custom FreeSBIE cd-image.

1. Make libefi portable by removing ia64 specific code and build
it on i386 and amd64 by default to prevent regressions. These
changes include fixes and improvements over previous code to
establish or improve APIs where none existed or when the amount
of kluging was unacceptably high.
2. Increase the amount of sharing between the efi and ski loaders
to improve maintainability of the loaders and simplify making
changes to the loader-kernel handshaking in the future.
The version of the efi and ski loaders are now both changed to 1.2
as user visible improvements and changes have been made.
to get the physical address doesn't work for all values of KVA_PAGES,
while masking 8 MSBs works for all values of KVA_PAGES that are
multiple of 4 for non-PAE and 8 for PAE. (This leaves us limited
with 12MB for non-PAE kernels and 14MB for PAE kernels.)
To get things right, we'd need to subtract the KERNBASE from the
virtual address (but KERNBASE is not easy to figure out from here),
or have physical addresses set properly in the ELF headers.

device (kind) specific unit field to the common field. This change
allows a future version of libefi to work without requiring anything
more than what is defined in struct devdesc and as such makes it
possible to compile said version of libefi for different platforms
without requiring that those platforms have identical derivatives
of struct devdesc.
