cli_execute is likely the only exception that we should make, due to it
being a global. We don't really need other globals, so this won't really end
up an epidemic.
There's no reason for autoboot handling to be mixed in with menu processing.
It is a distinct process that should only be done once when entering the
menu system.
menu.process has been modified to take an initial keypress to process and to
only draw the screen initially if it's been invalidated. The keypress is
kind of a kludge, although it could be argued to be a potentially useful
kludge if there are other processes that may need to feed a keypress into
the menu system.
In general, every menu redraw is going to require a screen clear and cursor
reset. Each redraw also has the potential to invalidate the alias table, so
we move the alias table being used out into a module variable. This allows
third party consumers to also inspect or update the alias table if they need
to.
While here, stop searching the alias table once we've found a match.
This is driven by an urge to separate out the bits that really only need to
happen when the menu system starts up. Key points:
- menu.process now does the bulk of menu handling. It retains autoboot
handling for dubious reasons, and it no longer accepts a 'nil' menu to
process as 'the default'. Its return value is insignificant.
- The MENU_SUBMENU handler now returns nothing. If menu.process has exited,
then we continue processing menu items on the parent menu as expected.
- menu.run is now the entry point of the menu system. It checks whether the
menu should be skipped, processes the default menu, then returns.
These indices were assigned the same values as they would've been implicitly
assigned anyways.
While here, throw terminating commas after the last value of tables.
It should use the common parser, but it should not be processed like a
standard file. Rewite check_nextboot to read the file in, check whether it
should continue, then parse as needed.
This allows us to throw the recently introduced check_and_halt callback
swiftly out the window.
config.parse is now purely a parser, rather than a whole proccessor. The
standard process for loading a config file has been split out into
config.processFile.
This clears the way for having nextboot read its own config file and decide
there whether it should parse the rest of the file.
This is step 1 towards revoking config.parse of it I/O privileges. Ideally,
all reading would be done before config.parse and config.parse would just
take text and parse it rather than being charged with the entire process.
Functionally, the latter error wouldn't necessarily hurt anything. io.write
will just error out as it's not passed a valid file handle. Still, we can do
better than that.
The functionality was correct, but our style guidelines tend to request that
we shy away from using boolean operations in place of explicit comparisons
to nil.
config.parse now takes an extra callback that is invoked on the full text of
the config file. This callback dictates where we should actually try to
parse this file or not.
For nextboot, we use this to halt parsing if we see 'nextboot_enable="NO"'.
If we don't, parse it and write 'nextboot_enable="NO" ' to it. The same
caveat as with forth still applies- writing is only supported by UFS.
The latter is good, but the former is more elegant and clear about what 'x'
is. Adopt it, preferably only using the latter kind of notation where needed
as values for tables.
I've also made some not-insignificant changes/additions to this file, to
include the added constants, ACPI changes, boot environment listing, and
some utility functions.
Graphics have a tendency to cause 80-col issues, so make an exception to our
standard indentation guidelines for these graphics. This does not hamper
readability too badly.
Two 40-column strings of spaces is trivially replaced with
string.rep(" ", 80)
luacheck pointed out an assortment of issues, ranging from non-standard
globals being created as well as unused parameters, variables, and redundant
assignments.
Using '_' as a placeholder for values unused (whether it be parameters
unused or return values unused, assuming multiple return values) feels clean
and gets the point across, so I've adopted it. It also helps flag candidates
for cleanup later in some of the lambdas I've created, giving me an easy way
to re-evaluate later if we're still not using some of these features.
Instead of the global namespace, let's attach these to the cli module. Other
users, including the "local" module, can attach functions to the cli module
at will to add other cli commands and things will still Just Work.
This distills down the candidates for functions that may be invoked via the
cli to a minimal set (boot, autoboot, arguments), rather than any function
that happens to live in the global lua namespace.
This will be the translation layer for varargs -> cmd_name, argv for cli
commands. We reserve the right to break exactly what the varargs inclulde,
but this gives us a stable way to pull the arguments out of varargs.
This module will, in the not-so-distant future, grow functionality for
reducing boilerplate in functions that implement cli commands. It will
likely also house most in-tree cli commands.
This seems to have been arbitrary; bootlock_password and password don't seem
to have any documented length restrictions, and loader(8) probably shouldn't
care about whatever GELI passphrase length restrictions might exist.

Attempt to autoboot when we open the default menu, and only when we open the
default menu. This alleviates the need for checking menu.already_autoboot,
because we're not trying to autoboot every time we open a submenu.
I note that escaping to loader prompt and going back to the menu (by running
require('menu').run() at the loader prompt) will happily work and not
re-initiate the autoboot sequence since "Escape to loader prompt" disables
the autoboot_delay.
Instead of based it off of whether 'kernels' was specified, base it off of a
new variable: kernels_autodetect. If set to yes, we'll run the autodetection
bits and add any detected kernels to the already existing list *after* both
'kernel' and 'kernels'.
This looks a little bit differently than the forth version for the time
being, just to get off the ground- rather than a paging system, it's
implemented as a simple carousel like the kernel selector.

This matches forth behavior. Hitting "6" when autobooting at the welcome
menu will now take you directly to the "Boot Options" menu.
We likely have some slight optimizations we should make, like not checking
autoboot every time we open a new menu and things of this nature. Further
work will go towards this end.
Allow "name" entries to be simple strings, instead of just functions. We
know whether we support colors or not by the time any of this is setup, so
all menu names that are basically static with colors sprinkled in are good
candidates for simplification.
Also simplify "func" in many cases where it's just invoking another function
with no arguments. The downside to this simplification is that the functions
called can no longer be trivially replaced by a local module. The upside is
that it removes another layer of indirection that we likely don't need.
These can be re-evaluated later if a compelling argument is raised, on a
case-by-case basis, for replacement.
The intent here is to abstract away the name of the default menu. The
default menu is still the welcome menu, but this detail doesn't need to
matter to things outside of the menu module. You may change the default
menu, but one would need to modify a specific menu.
Provide a way for out-of-tree users of lualoader to patch into the loader
system without having to modify our distributed scripts.
Do note that we can't really offer any API compatibility guarantees at this
time due to the evolving nature of lualoader right now.
This still has some utility as local modules may add commands at the loader
prompt without relying heavily on lualoader features- this specific
functionality is less likely to change without more careful consideration.

I can't find any good reason these aren't enabled, so enable them.
The silent runs will only return false on actual parse errors, so it's ok to
be loud about those failures.
