compressed tarball, aka package. The file system assumes that the
files are layed-out in the same order as needed to allow for the
package to be streamed. As such, it does not read an entire package
into memory first.
Some properties of the file system:
o Files that start with '+' are silently skipped. These are found
in FreeBSD package files.
o Files smaller than or equal to 4KB will be cached in memory and
as such allow for some flexibility in accessing files out of
order.
o Files with the .tgz suffix are assumed to be (sub-)packages and
signal the end for a directory scan.

to counteract the default behaviour of always trying each and every
file system until one succeeds, or the open fails. The problem with the
loader is that we've implemented features based on this behavior. The
handling of compressed files is a good example of this. However, it is
in general highly undesirable to not have a one-time probe (or taste
in the geom lingo), followed by something similar to a mount whenever
we (first) read from a device. Everytime we go to the same device, we
can reasonably assume it (still) has the same file system. For file
systems that need to do far more that a trivial read of a super block,
not having something similar to a mount operation is disastrous from
a performance (and thus usability) perspective.
But, again, since we've implemented features based on this stateless
approach, things can get complicated quickly if and when we want to
change this. And yet, we sometimes do need stateful behaviour.
For this reason, this change simply introduces exclusive_file_system.
When set to the fsops of the file system to use, the open call will
only try this file system. Setting it to NULL restores the default
behaviour. It's a low-cost (low-brow?) approach to provide enough
control without re-implementing the guts of the loader.
A good example of when this is useful is when we're trying to load
files out of a container (say, a software packaga) that itself lives
on a file system or is fetched over the network. While opening the
container can be done in the normal stateless manner, once it is
opened, subsequent opens should only consider the container.

true on amd64 I'm not quite positive this is the "correct" solution for
this but it does seem to compile and shut up the spew of warnings when
compiling libstand for userboot.
Add two _Static_asserts() so that in the future somebody will get a compile
failure if an architecture develops that violates the assumptions of this
code. (strongly suggested by jmg)

The 32-bit bootloaders now link against libstand.a in sys/boot/libstand32,
so there is no need to force /usr/lib/libstand.a to be 32-bit.
This is equivalent to r261568 for amd64.

require DMA-based I/O to be aligned to cache line boundaries.
These changes are based on a patch originally submitted by Juergen Weiss,
but I reworked them and thus any problems are purely my fault.

directory is like any subdirectory and as such needs to use a real
cluster number. To this end, keep a DE structure for the root in
the DOS_FS structure and populate it accordingly.
While here:
o allow consecutive path separators by skipping them all.
o add missing $FreeBSD$ keyword to dosfs.h.
code more naive and robust:
1. When setting ev_value, also always set ev_flags appropriately
2. Always check ev_value and ev_flags before calling free.
Both the value and the EV_DYNAMIC property can come directly from the
consumers of the environment functionality, so it's good to be careful.
And since this code is typically not looked at for long periods of
time, it's good to have it be a little "dumb-looking".
Trigger case for the bug:
env_setenv("foo", 0, "1", NULL, NULL);
env_setenv("foo", 0, "2", NULL, NULL);

Based on r134760:
Reset the seek pointer to 0 when a file is successfully opened,
since otherwise the initial seek offset will contain the directory
offset of the filesystem block that contained its directory entry.
This bug was mostly harmless because typically the directory is
less than one filesystem block in size so the offset would be zero.
It did however generally break loading a kernel from the (large)
kernel compile directory.
Also reset the seek pointer when a new inode is opened in read_inode(),
though this is not actually necessary now because all callers set
it afterwards.

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.
At work we have a single tftp server that provides installation data for
a variety of operating systems. I'd rather place our FreeBSD-related
files in a subdirectory, instead of the root.
It would be nice if this setting could be run-time configurable, but at
least in our specific case, this is not possible, as pxeboot is
chainloaded through pxelinux.

In C90, NULL is guaranteed to be declared in <stddef.h> and also in
<string.h>. Though the correct way to define NULL in FreeBSD is to
include <sys/_null.h>, other parts of libstand still require <string.h>
to build; therefore, we keep <string.h> in stand.h and add a note about
this;
- Removing no longer used 'Prototype' definition. Quote from bde@:
'Cruft related to getting incomplete struct declarations within
prototypes forward-declared before the structs. It doesn't mean
"prototype" but only part of a prototype-related hack. No longer
used.'
- Replacing iaddr_t with uintptr_t;
- Removing use of long double to determine alignment. Use a fixed 16 byte
alignment instead;
