\boot\loader directly. Rev 183168 could probably stay, since it can be
viewed as an anti-foot-shooting measure and has no impact on normal
operation. I can revert it as well, if anybody objects.
they point to the very same device. This should make loader usable on
some (all?) PowerMacs, where "/chosen/stdout" is disconneted from the
"screen" by the OF init process by default, except when user actually
has requested interaction with OF by holding ALT-CMD-O-F. Along with
rev 183168 this should provide a way to build bootable FreeBSD/ppc
installation or live CD that works OOB. Also, it should bring PowerMac
experience closer to that on other arches.

- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:

- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.

of obtaining them over and over again and pretending we could do
anything useful without them (for chosen this includes adding a
declaration and initializing it in OF_init()).
- In OF_init() if obtaining the memory or mmu handle fails just call
OF_exit() instead of panic() as the loader hasn't initialized the
console at these early stages yet and trying to print out something
causes a hang. With OF_exit() one at least has a change to get back
to the OFW boot monitor and debug the problem.
- Fix OF_call_method() on 64-bit machines (this is a merge of
sys/dev/ofw/openfirm.c rev 1.6).
- Replace OF_alloc_phys(), OF_claim_virt(), OF_map_phys() and
OF_release_phys() in the MI part of the loader with wrappers around
OF_call_method() in the sparc64. Beside the fact that they duplicate
OF_call_method() the formers should never have been in the MI part
of the loader as contrary to the OFW spec they use two-cell physical
addresses.
- Remove unused functions which are also MD dupes of OF_call_method().
- In sys/boot/sparc64/loader/main.c add __func__ to panic strings as
different functions use otherwise identical panic strings and make
some of the panic strings a tad more user-friendly instead of just
mentioning the name of the function that returned an unexpected
result.
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.
devices can be opened multiple times simultaneously but we're
expected to be able to do so by the rest of the loader.
This fixes booting from disks attached to the on-board SCSI
controller of Sun Ultra 1 (previously this triggered a trap)

This allows a static buffer to be used when obtaining the existing

This fixes the trap when loading modules at boot time.

copying, rather than a page at a time. This was creating far
too many single-page mappings, and eventually OFW overflowed
some internal data structure and refused to map any more.
The new algorithm creates far less mappings and fixed a bug
where multiple mappings for the same page would be created.

things over floppy size limits, I can exclude it for release builds or
something like that. Most of the changes are to get the load_elf.c file
into a seperate elf32_ or elf64_ namespace so that you can have two
ELF loaders present at once. Note that for 64 bit kernels, it actually
starts up the kernel already in 64 bit mode with paging enabled. This
is really easy because we have a known minimum feature set.
Of note is that for amd64, we have to pass in the bios int 15 0xe821
memory map because once in long mode, you absolutely cannot make VM86
calls. amd64 does not use 'struct bootinfo' at all. It is a pure loader
metadata startup, just like sparc64 and powerpc. Much of the
infrastructure to support this was adapted from sparc64.

a disklabel in ofw_disk.c, open the partition's device node directly and
let the firmware do it. This fixes booting from a partition other than 'a'
