Do not hardcode elf64-tradbigmips as output format in BERI linker scrips.
Unfortunately, in-tree toolchain and external newer versions of binutils
mean two different things under that. When creating elf binaries using
external toolchain, gcc uses elf64-tradbigmips-freebsd and so linker
script file has to match in order for ld to be able to create the final loader
binary.
Rather than trying to guess, remove hardcoded output format directive from
the linker directive files and use CC to invoke the linker instead.

Apparently the libstand dosfs optimization is a bit too optimistic
and did introduce possible memory corruption.
This patch is backing out the bad part and since this results in
dosfs reading full blocks now, we can also remove extra offset argument
from dv_strategy callback.
The analysis of the issue and the backout patch is provided by Mikhail Kupchik.

Unfortunately this approach will add unneeded noise when there are no

This change does modify devsw dv_print() to return the int value,
enabling walkers to interrupt the walk on non zero value from dv_print().
This will allow the pager_print actually to stop displaying data on

where it was missing.
For test, lsdev [-v] command should display data by screenfuls and should

dev_net.c code.
The NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE flag was added in r201932 to prevent that behaviour
on some architectures (sparc64 and powerpc64) the default was left to always
open and close the device for each open and close of a file by the loader
because it was necessary for u-boot on arm.
Since it has been added, the flag was turned on for every arches including the
u-boot loader for arm.
This also fixes netbooting on RPi3 (tested by gonzo@)

The linker script CONSTRUCTORS keyword is only meaningful "when linking
object file formats which do not support arbitrary sections, such as
ECOFF and XCOFF"[1] and is ignored for other object file formats.
LLVM's lld does not yet accept (and ignore) CONSTRUCTORS, so just remove
CONSTRUCTORS from the linker script as it has no effect.

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.

The changes were tested with QEMU's 'mips' target.
Most of the implementation was lifted from the ARM version, the appropriate
MIPS-specific things were implemented.
With these changes I am able to go all the way through the u-boot->ubldr->kernel
boot chain in QEMU on all combinations of bit-ness and endian-ness.
For the tests I've used FAT32 disk images (as FAT32 is supported by U-boot),
which include /boot/kernel/kernel and /boot/kernel/ubldr.bin
In U-boot I do:
fatload ide 0 <LOAD_ADDR> /boot/kernel/ubldr.bin; go <LOAD_ADDR>
where LOAD_ADDR is 80800000 for 32-bit and ffffffff80800000 for 64-bit
Then it's the usual ubldr that takes over and loads and starts a kernel.

1. 50+% of NO_PIE use is fixed by adding -fPIC to INTERNALLIB and other
build-only utility libraries.
2. Another 40% is fixed by generating _pic.a variants of various libraries.
3. Some of the NO_PIE use is a bit absurd as it is disabling PIE (and ASLR)
where it never would work anyhow, such as csu or loader. This suggests
there may be better ways of adding support to the tree. Many of these
cases can be fixed such that -fPIE will work but there is really no
reason to have it in those cases.
4. Some of the uses are working around hacks done to some Makefiles that are
really building libraries but have been using bsd.prog.mk because the code
is cleaner. Had they been using bsd.lib.mk then NO_PIE would not have
been needed.
We likely do want to enable PIE by default (opt-out) for non-tree consumers
(such as ports). For in-tree though we probably want to only enable PIE
(opt-in) for common attack targets such as remote service daemons and setuid
utilities. This is also a great performance compromise since ASLR is expected
to reduce performance. As such it does not make sense to enable it in all
utilities such as ls(1) that have little benefit to having it enabled.

particular, allow loaders to define the name of the RC script the
interpreter needs to use. Use this new-found control to have the
PXE loader (when compiled with TFTP support and not NFS support)
read from ${bootfile}.4th, where ${bootfile} is the name of the
file fetched by the PXE firmware.
The normal startup process involves reading the following files:
1. /boot/boot.4th
2. /boot/loader.rc or alternatively /boot/boot.conf
When these come from a FreeBSD-defined file system, this is all
good. But when we boot over the network, subdirectories and fixed
file names are often painful to administrators and there's really
no way for them to change the behaviour of the loader.

This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

particular interest in (and support for) SRI International and the
University of Cambridge's BERI FPGA soft-core processor. This includes
micro device drivers for the Altera JTAG UART console, memory-mapped
flash, and the Altera SD Card IP core in both boot2 and loader. boot2
can be written to the on-board Intel StrataFlash on the DE4 board, and
loader can be placed in StrataFlash or the SD Card.
Plenty of XXX comments, but works quite well locally in practice and I
am using it daily. Although I had originally ported the ARM version
of boot2, the current version is x86-derived as that proved more
feature-complete. As we don't currently use partitions on our flash
disks, support for that has been commented out relative to x86, but
would be easy to add back. FDT support has not yet been hooked up,
although some skeleton parts have been put in place for that.
This may well be a useful starting point for ports to other 32-bit and
64-bit MIPS-ISA systems.
