order. The kernel used to shuffle them around to get things right,
but that was recently fixed. This makes our boot loader match the
behavior of most other boot loaders for the atmel parts. This bug was
inherited from the Kwikbyte loader that we started from.
This bug was discovered by Bj.ANvrn KNvnig back in June, but fell on the
floor. He provided patches to the kernel, include backwards
compatibility options that were similar to Olivier's if_ate.c commit.
on i386 and amd64 machines. The overall process is that /boot/pmbr lives
in the PMBR (similar to /boot/mbr for MBR disks) and is responsible for
locating and loading /boot/gptboot. /boot/gptboot is similar to /boot/boot
except that it groks GPT rather than MBR + bsdlabel. Unlike /boot/boot,
/boot/gptboot lives in its own dedicated GPT partition with a new
"FreeBSD boot" type. This partition does not have a fixed size in that
/boot/pmbr will load the entire partition into the lower 640k. However,
it is limited in that it can only be 545k. That's still a lot better than
the current 7.5k limit for boot2 on MBR. gptboot mostly acts just like
boot2 in that it reads /boot.config and loads up /boot/loader. Some more
details:
- Include uuid_equal() and uuid_is_nil() in libstand.
- Add a new 'boot' command to gpt(8) which makes a GPT disk bootable using
/boot/pmbr and /boot/gptboot. Note that the disk must have some free
space for the boot partition.
- This required exposing the backend of the 'add' function as a
gpt_add_part() function to the rest of gpt(8). 'boot' uses this to
create a boot partition if needed.
- Don't cripple cgbase() in the UFS boot code for /boot/gptboot so that
it can handle a filesystem > 1.5 TB.
- /boot/gptboot has a simple loader (gptldr) that doesn't do any I/O
unlike boot1 since /boot/pmbr loads all of gptboot up front. The
C portion of gptboot (gptboot.c) has been repocopied from boot2.c.
The primary changes are to parse the GPT to find a root filesystem
and to use 64-bit disk addresses. Currently gptboot assumes that the
first UFS partition on the disk is the / filesystem, but this algorithm
will likely be improved in the future.
- Teach the biosdisk driver in /boot/loader to understand GPT tables.
GPT partitions are identified as 'disk0pX:' (e.g. disk0p2:) which is
similar to the /dev names the kernel uses (e.g. /dev/ad0p2).
- Add a new "freebsd-boot" alias to g_part() for the new boot UUID.

Discussed with: marcel (some things might still change, but am committing
what I have so far)
on duplicated code and support 64-bit LBAs for GPT.
- The code to manage an EDD or C/H/S I/O request are now in their own
routines. The EDD routine now handles a full 64-bit LBA instead of
truncating LBAs to the lower 32-bits. (MBRs and BSD labels only
have 32-bit LBAs anyway, so the only LBAs ever passed down were 32-bit).
- All of the bounce buffer and retry logic duplicated in bd_read() and
bd_write() are merged into a single bd_io() routine that takes an
extra direction argument. bd_read() and bd_write() are now simple
wrappers around bd_io().
- If a disk supports EDD then always use it rather than only using it if
the cylinder is > 1023. Other parts of the boot code already do
something similar to this. Also, GPT just uses LBAs, so for a GPT disk
it's probably best to ignore C/H/S completely. Always using EDD when
it is supported by a disk is an easy way to accomplish this.

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.
- Add missing prototypes.
- Define global variables not used outside of this module as static.
- Replace some outdated hard-coded functions names in panic strings
with __func__.
- Fix some style(9) bugs.

GetSeconds(). Instead, use CRTR register shifted right 15. This

Shift to using == rather than < or > for calculating the timeout,

even bigger problems to worry about, and == deals with the 'wrap'

CSD is usually 512 (well, 9), but for 2GB (and the rogue 4GB SD cards)
it is 1024 (or 2048 for 4GB). This value doesn't work for the block
read commands (which really want 512). Hardcode 512 for those. This
may break really old MMC cards that don't have a 512 block size (I've
never seen one: make my day and send me one :-), but since the MMC
side of the house is currently broken, it should only have the effect
that 2GB (and non-conforming 4GB) SD cards will work.
My 'non-conforming' 4GB SD card also works now too. The
non-conforming 4GB SD cards were sold for a while before the SD
association was worried they would be (a) incompatible (different FAT
flavor on them) and (b) confusing for the new SDHC standard and
cracked down on suppliers' bogus use of the SD trademark...
The changes to getstr() is so that the character that is

I also changed the strcpy of kname, so that it only happens if
kname is '\0'. This is so that one can pass a kernel in
through /boot.config.
The last change to boot2.c is in parse(). If you tried to type
a kernel name to boot, the first character was lost, the arg--

only mask high two bits of a virtual address. This allows to load
larger kernels (up to 1 gigabyte). Not masking addresses at all
was a bad idea on machines with less than >3G of memory -- kernels
are linked at 0xc0xxxxxx, and that would attempt to load a kernel
at above 3G. By masking only two highest bits we stay within the
safe limits while still allowing to boot larger kernels.

rather than the multiplicand (that is, I thought leal (%eax,%edx,4) was
going to generate %eax + %edx << 4 rather than %eax + %edx * 4). What
I need is to multiply by 16 to convert a real-mode (seg, offset) tuple
into a flat address. However, the max multiplicand for scaled/index
addressing on i386 is 8, so go back to using a shl and an add.
