a single device to be opened multiple times concurrently unfortunately
isn't sufficient with ZFS. This is due to the fact, that ZFS may open
different partitions of a single device simultaneously. So the best we
can do in this case is to cache the lastly used device path and close
and open devices in ofwd_strategy() as needed.

The generic ELF loading code maps the kernel into low memory
by subtracting KERN_BASE. So the copyin/copyout/readin functions
are always called with low addresses. This code finds the largest
DRAM block from the U-Boot memory map and adds that base to
the addresses.
In particular, this fixes ubldr on AM3358, which has DRAM
mapped to 0x80000000 at power-on.
The NAND Flash environment consists of several distinct components:
- NAND framework (drivers harness for NAND controllers and NAND chips)
- NAND simulator (NANDsim)
- NAND file system (NAND FS)
- Companion tools and utilities
- Documentation (manual pages)
This work is still experimental. Please use with caution.

The code previously assumed that copyin/copyout did no
address translation and that the device tree blob could
be manipulated in-place (with only a few adjustments for
the ELF loader offset). This isn't possible on all platforms,
so the revised code uses copyout() to copy the device tree
blob into a heap-allocated buffer and then updates the
device tree with copyout(). This isn't ideal, since it
bloats the loader memory usage, but seems the only feasible
approach (short of rewriting all of the fdt manipulation
routines).
This is to silence warnings that result from different definitions of
uint64_t on different architectures, specifically i386 and sparc64.

This way with the new zfsloader there is no need to explicitly set zfs

In zfs loader zfs device name format now is "zfs:pool/fs",
fully qualified file path is "zfs:pool/fs:/path/to/file"
loader allows accessing files from various pools and filesystems as well
as changing currdev to a different pool/filesystem.
zfsboot accepts kernel/loader name in a format pool:fs:path/to/file or,
as before, pool:path/to/file; in the latter case a default filesystem
is used (pool root or bootfs). zfsboot passes guids of the selected
pool and dataset to zfsloader to be used as its defaults.
zfs support should be architecture independent and is provided
in a separate library, but architectures wishing to use this zfs support
still have to provide some glue code and their devdesc should be
compatible with zfs_devdesc.
arch_zfs_probe method is used to discover all disk devices that may
be part of ZFS pool(s).
libi386 unconditionally includes zfs support, but some zfs-specific
functions are stubbed out as weak symbols. The strong definitions
are provided in libzfsboot.
This change mean that the size of i386_devspec becomes larger
to match zfs_devspec.
Backward-compatibility shims are provided for recently added sparc64
zfs boot support. Currently that architecture still works the old
way and does not support the new features.

V100, the firmware is known to be broken and not allowing to simultaneously
open disk devices, causing attempts to boot from a mirror or RAIDZ to cause
a crash. This will be worked around later. The firmwares of newer sun4u models
don't seem to exhibit this problem though.
Steps for ZFS booting:
1. create VTOC8 label
# gpart create -s vtoc8 da0
2. add partitions, f.e.:
# gpart add -t freebsd-zfs -s 60g da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-swap da0
resulting in something like:
# gpart show
=> 0 143331930 da0 VTOC8 (68G)
0 125821080 1 freebsd-zfs (60G)
125821080 17510850 2 freebsd-swap (8.4G)
3. create zpool
# zpool create bunker da0a
or for mirror/RAIDZ (after preparing additional disks as in steps 1. + 2.):
# zpool create bunker mirror da0a da1a
# zpool create bunker raidz da0a da1a da2a ...
4. set bootfs
# zpool set bootfs=bunker bunker
5. install zfsboot
# zpool export bunker
# gpart bootcode -p /boot/zfsboot da0
6. write zfsloader to the ZFS Boot Block (so far, there's no dedicated tool
for this, so dd(1) has to be used for this purpose)
When using mirror/RAIDZ, step 4. and the dd(1) invocation should be repeated
for the additional disks in order to be able to boot from another disk in
case of failure.
# sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10
# dd if=/boot/zfsloader of=/dev/da0a bs=512 oseek=1024 conv=notrunc
# zpool import bunker
7. install system on ZFS filesystem
Don't forget to set 'zfs_load="YES"' and vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:bunker" in
loader.conf as well as 'zfs_enable="YES"'in rc.conf.
8. copy zpool.cache to the ZFS filesystem
cp -p /boot/zfs/zpool.cache /bunker/boot/zfs/zpool.cache
9. set mountpoint
# zfs set mountpoint=/ bunker
10. Now, given that aliases for all disks in the zpool exists (check with
the `devalias` command on the boot monitor prompt) and disk0 corresponds
to da0 (likewise for additional disks), the system can be booted from the
ZFS with:
{1} ok boot disk0

The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.
As I looked through the C library, I noticed the FreeBSD MIPS port has a
hand-written version of index(). This is nice, if it weren't for the
fact that most applications call strchr() instead.
Also, on the other architectures index() and strchr() are identical,
meaning we have two identical pieces of code in the C library and
statically linked applications.
Solve this by naming the actual file strchr.[cS] and let it use
__strong_reference()/STRONG_ALIAS() to provide the index() routine. Do
the same for rindex()/strrchr().
This seems to make the C libraries and static binaries slightly smaller,
but this reduction in size seems negligible.

Quoting submitter:
The issue is with the new boot loader menu. It adds many loader variables
including ones that contain ANSI color escapes.
Obviously, these ANSI codes don't play well with serial consoles when
kenv(1) is executed without arguments (reports vary as to what happens,
but it's never pretty).
The net-effect is that kenv(1) no longer reports menu-related variables.
In essence, kenv(1) output should now appear the same as on RELENG_8
(which lacks the new boot loader and didn't use any such variables).
Thus, restoring serial console glory.

advantage that BTX no longer needs to be relocated as it is read into

now cross a 64k boundary, so change it to use relative segments instead.
(This will need further work if zfsboot2.bin ever exceeds 64k.)
While here, stop storing a relocated copy of zfsldr at 0x700. This was

Use the new arch_loadseg I/F to keep track of kernel text and

add more translations.

ELF objects are first considered as raw files.
2. arch_loadseg - used by platform code to keep track of actual segments,
so that (instruction) caches can be flushed or translations can be
created. Both the ELF header as well as the program header are passed

additional modules and to have all the relevant details of the loaded
segment (e.g. protection).
Add support for Pre-Boot Virtual Memory (PBVM) to the loader.
PBVM allows us to link the kernel at a fixed virtual address without
having to make any assumptions about the physical memory layout. On
the SGI Altix 350 for example, there's no usuable physical memory
below 192GB. Also, the PBVM allows us to control better where we're
going to physically load the kernel and its modules so that we can
make sure we load the kernel in memory that's close to the BSP.
The PBVM is managed by a simple page table. The minimum size of the
page table is 4KB (EFI page size) and the maximum is currently set
to 1MB. A page in the PBVM is 64KB, as that's the maximum alignment
one can specify in a linker script. The bottom line is that PBVM is
between 64KB and 8GB in size.
The loader maps the PBVM page table at a fixed virtual address and

single translation for a maximum of 32MB.

o Map the PBVM using the largest possible power of 2 that is less than

that the current kernel is between 8MB and 16MB in size, which would
mean that 8MB would be the typical size of the mapping, if only 8MB
wasn't an invalid page size. In practice, we end up mapping the first
4MB of PBVM in most cases.

available. The PBVM uses 64KB pages that are mapped to physical
addresses using a page table. The page table is at least 1 EFI page
in size, but can grow up to 1MB. This effectively gives us a memory
size between 32MB and 8GB -- i.e. enough to load a DVD image if one
wants to.
The loader assigns physical memory based on the EFI memory map and
makes sure that all physical memory is naturally aligned and a power
of 2. At this time there's no consideration for allocating physical
memory that is close to the BSP.
The kernel is informed about the physical address of the page table
and its size and can locate all PBVM pages through it.
The loader does not wire the PBVM page table yet. Instead it wires
all of the PBVM with a single translation. This is fine for now,
but a follow-up commit will fix it. We cannot handle more than 32MB
right now.
Note that the loader will map as much of the loaded kernel and
modules as possible, but it's up to the kernel to handle page faults
for references that aren't mapped. To make that easier, the page
table is mapped at a fixed virtual address.
o bunch of variables are turned into uint8_t
o initial setting of namep[] in lookup() is removed
as it's only overwritten a few lines down
o kname is explicitly initialized in main() as BSS
in boot2 is not zeroed
o the setting and reading of "fmt" in load() is removed
o buf in printf() is made static to save space

This patch shrinks boot2 a little.
o It switches kname to be just a pointer instead of an array.
o It changes ioctl to unsigned from uint8_t.
o It changes the second keyhit limit to 3 seconds from 5.
o It removes bi_basemem/bi_extmem/bi_memsizes_valid setting.
o It switches kname to be just a pointer instead of an array
thus avoiding a couple of memcpy()s.
o It changes ioctl to unsigned from uint8_t.
o It changes the second keyhit limit to 3 seconds from 5
so that constant propagation can take place.
o It changes the ticks overflow computation as suggested by bde@.
o It removes bi_basemem/bi_extmem/bi_memsizes_valid setting from
bootinfo as it is unused.

Few new things available from now on:
- Data deduplication.
- Triple parity RAIDZ (RAIDZ3).
- zfs diff.
- zpool split.
- Snapshot holds.
- zpool import -F. Allows to rewind corrupted pool to earlier
transaction group.
- Possibility to import pool in read-only mode.

It used to choke on the notation "inb (%dx),%al" for "inb %dx,%al"; GNU
as accepts both forms. Which notation is more 'correct' is an open
question. :)
In sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c, change the type of the 'opts' variable
from uint16_t back to uint32_t. The actual option bitmasks (RB_* and
RBX_*) assume at least a 32 bit variable.

on space for clang and a.out support is only needed for /boot/loader,
they are excess bytes that serve no useful purpose other than to
support really old kernels (FreeBSD < 3.2 or so). Prefer clang
support over support for these old kernels and remove this code. We

as is support for framebuffer resolutions other than 720x480. These
deficiencies will be remedied soon.

was incorrect as further down the road cons_probe() calls malloc() so the
former can't be called before init_heap() has succeed. Instead just exit
to the firmware in case init_heap() fails like OF_init() does when hitting
a problem as we're then likely running in a very broken environment where
hardly anything can be trusted to work.
OF loader on systems where address cells and size cells are both 2 (the
Mambo simulator) and fix an error where cons_probe() was called before
init_heap() but used malloc() to set environment variables.
