Introduce new API to work with disks from the loader's drivers.

Update userboot's disk driver to use new API. Note that struct
loader_callbacks_v1 has changed.

# 219691 16-Mar-2011 marcel

MFaltix:
Add support for Pre-Boot Virtual Memory (PBVM) to the loader.

PBVM allows us to link the kernel at a fixed virtual address without
having to make any assumptions about the physical memory layout. On
the SGI Altix 350 for example, there's no usuable physical memory
below 192GB. Also, the PBVM allows us to control better where we're
going to physically load the kernel and its modules so that we can
make sure we load the kernel in memory that's close to the BSP.

The PBVM is managed by a simple page table. The minimum size of the
page table is 4KB (EFI page size) and the maximum is currently set
to 1MB. A page in the PBVM is 64KB, as that's the maximum alignment
one can specify in a linker script. The bottom line is that PBVM is
between 64KB and 8GB in size.

The loader maps the PBVM page table at a fixed virtual address and
using a single translations. The PBVM itself is also mapped using a
single translation for a maximum of 32MB.

While here, increase the heap in the EFI loader from 512KB to 2MB
and set the stage for supporting relocatable modules.


# 211817 25-Aug-2010 nwhitehorn

Fix build of ppc32 loader.


# 211678 23-Aug-2010 imp

MF tbemd: Minor tweaks, prefer MACHINE_CPUARCH generally to MACHINE_ARCH (which simplifies some powerpc/powerpc64 ifs)


# 209920 12-Jul-2010 nwhitehorn

Provide support in loader for booting 64-bit PowerPC kernels. Like amd64,
64-bit PowerPC kernels are loaded by a 32-bit loader, since nearly all
powerpc64 firmwares execute in 32-bit mode.


# 200460 13-Dec-2009 marcel

Add support for memory disk (md). The size of the memory disk
is determined by MD_IMAGE_SIZE. A file system can be embedded
into the loader with /sys/tools/embed_mfs.sh.
Note that md.c is not included when MD_IMAGE_SIZE is not set.


# 199210 12-Nov-2009 attilio

Introduce a new option (BOOT_PROMPT_123) that lets enter the boot prompt
only when typing the sequence "123" (opposite to the standard 'push any
button' approach).
That results useful when using serial lines sending garbage and leading
to unwilling boot prompt appearence.

# 183878 14-Oct-2008 raj

Initial support of loader(8) for ARM machines running U-Boot.

This uses the common U-Boot support lib (sys/boot/uboot, already used on
FreeBSD/powerpc), and assumes the underlying firmware has the modern API for
stand-alone apps enabled in the config (CONFIG_API).

Only netbooting is supported at the moment.

# 163893 02-Nov-2006 marcel

Don't unconditionally compile-in the bcache code. It's only used on
i386/amd64 and pc98. Remove useless calls to bcache_init() from the
ia64 and sparc64 loaders, as well as from the OFW common code.


# 158467 12-May-2006 jhb

Remove more Alpha bits from the boot code including fixing several
stale comments.


# 136895 24-Oct-2004 ru

Collapse several adjacent .if's into .if/.elif.


# 136893 24-Oct-2004 nyan

ELF64 support is not needed on pc98.


# 134459 29-Aug-2004 iedowse

Add the loader side of support for preloading ELF relocatable object
format modules, which are currently only used on the amd64 platform.
This initial implementation just parses enough of the module to
allow it to extract dependencies and load all the bits into the
right place in memory, so the kernel must still do the full relocation
and linking. The details of the loaded sections are passed to the
kernel by supplying a copy of the ELF section header table as module
metadata with the MODINFOMD_SHDR tag.


# 134458 28-Aug-2004 iedowse

Separate out the ELF relocation code from the ELF loader, and add
better relocation support for the amd64 and i386 platforms. This
should not result in any change in functionality, but moves a step
towards supporting the relocatable object file modules on amd64.

The same hack/trick as load_elf*.c uses is used here to simultaneously
support both elf32 and elf64 on amd64 and i386.


# 125561 07-Feb-2004 ru

Style: use the defined() expression explicitly.


# 116864 26-Jun-2003 peter

Build on amd64. Yes, I know this isn't particularly nice.


# 114379 01-May-2003 peter

Enable the i386 loader to load and run an amd64 kernel. If this puts
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.


# 102556 29-Aug-2002 peter

Initiate deorbit burn of i386 a.out kld "support" in loader. Note that
this was quite broken, it never was updated for metadata support.
The a.out kld file support was never really used, as it wasn't necessary.
You could always load elf kld's, even in an a.out kernel.


# 93306 28-Mar-2002 obrien

# 40875 04-Nov-1998 msmith

Add BootForth hooks; if BOOT_FORTH is defined, pass every line read
to the Forth interpreter. Instantiate all of our inbuilt commands
as Forth words, and handle them being called from there.

Add my copyright to the bcache module (oops).


# 40834 02-Nov-1998 msmith

Implement a simple LRU block cache. By default this is initialised to 16k,
and will bypass transfers for more than 8k. Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.

The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.

Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.


# 39830 30-Sep-1998 peter

ELF loader, part 1. It works with ELF kernels generated on the i386
so far, and should probably be able to be made to work for the alpha
without too much trouble once it's connected up and my assumptions tested.

I think (but have not tested) it will also load "old" ELF kernels that
were not linked with DYNAMIC headers.

The module glue is yet to come. (oh fun.. :-)

It does not explicitly load symbols [yet]. The _DYNAMIC data contains a
runtime symbol set that ddb can use via ddb/db_kld.c. It'll be missing
some detail that stabs normally provides (eg: number of args to a function,
line numbers, etc). On the other hand, those minimal symbols will always
be available even on a stripped kernel.

This is mostly stolen from load_aout.c with some ideas from
alpha/libalpha/elf_freebsd.c.


# 39178 14-Sep-1998 msmith

# 38465 21-Aug-1998 msmith

This is the new unified bootstrap, sometimes known previously as the
'three-stage' bootstrap.
There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state:
- The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy.
- The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended
information and module summary passed in.
- PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented.
- i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet.
- The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap.

On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is
supported. No blockmaps are used by this code.
