i386 bootinfo: re-arrange EFI fields for natural alignment and packing

Suggested by: bde
MFC after: 2 weeks


# 206381 07-Apr-2010 rpaulo

Add EFI boot info fields.


# 172921 24-Oct-2007 jhb

Slightly cleanup the 'bootdev' concept on x86 by changing the various
macros to treat the 'slice' field as a real part of the bootdev instead
of as hack that spans two other fields (adaptor (sic) and controller)
that are not used in any modern FreeBSD boot code.

MFC after: 1 week


# 113083 04-Apr-2003 phk

Libdisk does not need to include <sys/diskslice.h> any more.

Move the remaining bits of <sys/diskslice.h> to <i386/include/bootinfo.h>

Move i386/pc98 specific bits from <sys/reboot.h> to
<i386/include/bootinfo.h> as well.

Adjust includes in sys/boot accordingly.


# 55205 29-Dec-1999 peter

Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.


# 50477 27-Aug-1999 peter

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# 39865 01-Oct-1998 msmith

Remove the bi_vesa field, as vesa modeswitching is no longer performed
by the bootblocks.


# 39864 01-Oct-1998 msmith

Pass the BIOS unit number from which the kernel/loader was obtained in
the bootinfo struct so that it can be reused later.


# 39180 14-Sep-1998 msmith

Add extra bootinfo fields for the three-stage bootloader; the end of the
loaded kernel aggregate, a pointer to the kernel environment data and
a pointer to the preloaded module metadata.


# 37550 11-Jul-1998 bde

Don't pretend to support ix86's with 16-bit ints by using longs just
to ensure 32-bit variables. Doing so broke i386's with 64-bit
longs. Use fixed-size integral types instead of plain ints, shorts,
chars and pointers since the bootinfo struct layout is a binary
interface. The boot blocks could reasonably be implemented using
16-bit code.


# 27789 31-Jul-1997 phk

Add support for booting in VESA 0x102 videomode. Corresponding patches to
syscons are being reviewed by sos.


# 22975 22-Feb-1997 peter

Back out part 1 of the MCFH that changed $Id$ to $FreeBSD$. We are not
ready for it yet.


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 8876 30-May-1995 rgrimes

Remove trailing whitespace.


# 5908 25-Jan-1995 bde

Load the kernel symbol table in the boot loader and not at compile time.
(Boot with the -D flag if you want symbols.)

Make it easier to extend `struct bootinfo' without losing either forwards
or backwards compatibility.

ddb_aout.c:
Get the symbol table from wherever the loader put it.
Nuke db_symtab[SYMTAB_SPACE].

boot.c:
Enable loading of symbols. Align them on a page boundary. Add printfs
about the symbol table sizes.
Pass the memory sizes to the kernel.
Fix initialization of `unit' (it got moved out of the loop).
Fix adding the bss size (it got moved inside an ifdef).
Initialize serial port when RB_SERIAL is toggled on.
Fix comments.
Clean up formatting of recently added code.

io.c:
Clean up formatting of recently added code.

netboot/main.c, machdep.c, wd.c:
Change names of bootinfo fields.

LINT:
Nuke SYMTAB_SPACE.
Fix comment about DODUMP.

Makefile.i386:
Nuke use of dbsym.
Exclude gcc symbols from kernel unless compiling with -g.
Remove unused macro.
Fix comments and formatting.

genassym.c:
Generate defines for some new bootinfo fields. Change names of old ones.

locore.s:
Copy only the valid part of the `struct bootinfo' passed by the loader.
Reserve space for symbol table, if any.

machdep.c:
Check the memory sizes passed by the loader, if any. Don't use them yet.

bootinfo.h:
Add a size field so that we can resolve some mismatches between the loader
bootinfo and the kernel boot info. The version number is not so good for
this because of historical botches and because it's harder to maintain.
Add memory size and symbol table fields. Change the names of everything.

Hacks to save a few bytes:

asm.S, boot.c, boot2.S:
Replace `ouraddr' by `(BOOTSEG << 4)'.

boot.c:
Don't statically initialize `loadflags' to 0. Disable the "REDUNDANT"
code that skips the BIOS variables. Eliminate `total'. Combine some
more printfs.

boot.h, disk.c, io.c, table.c:
Move all statically initialzed data to table.c.

io.c:
Don't put the A20 gate bits in a variable.


# 4599 18-Nov-1994 phk

Declare the bootinfo structure in the kernel.


# 4598 18-Nov-1994 phk

Add space for the bios-geometry in the bootinfo struct.


# 3385 06-Oct-1994 rgrimes

1. bootinfo.h defines the structure passed in to the kernel by the
new boot code.
