config: drop dependency on libsbuf

Use an std::stringstream instead. get_word() and get_quoted_word() both
return a buffer that's presumed to not need release, so solve this by
returning a new special configword type that holds a string or eof/eol
state. This cleans up caller checking for EOF/EOL to make it more
explicit what they're doing, at least in the EOL cases which previously
checked for NULL.

config: make changes to allow some parts to build as C++

Highlights:
- Avoid keywords (this, not) as variable names
- Move yyparse into config.h with other declarations
- All declarations in config.h are assumed guilty until proven innocent
- Some const-correctness
- Casting malloc/calloc returns

Note that we're not building any C++ here yet, this will be introduced
in other commits to replace some of the lib dependencies. Reducing the
number of FreeBSD-specific dependencies we have reduces some friction
for building our bootstrap tools independently in other environments.

config: Only warn if duplicate option/device comes from the same file

This is useful for arm (possibly other arches too) where we want to have
a GENERIC kernel that only include files for the different SoC. Since
multiple SoCs/Board needs the same device we would need to do either :

Include the device in a generic file
Include the device in each file that really needs it

Option 1 works but if someone wants to create a specific kernel config
(which isn't uncommon for embedded system), he will need to add a lots
of nodevice to it.

Option 2 also works but produce a lots of warnings.

config(8): Add compatibility shims for r335998

Plumb the %VERSREQ from Makefile.<arch> through to the rest of config(8).
We've recorded the config(8) version that we're calling "the end of
envmode and hintmode," and we'll write them out for earlier versions. Later
kernel version bumps will remove envmode/hintmode from the kernel as needed,
which is OK since the current kernel does not use them at all.

These compatibility shims really need to go away when the major version
rolls over...

# 39d44f7f 05-Jul-2018 Kyle Evans <kevans@FreeBSD.org>

kern_environment: use any provided environments, evict hintmode/envmode

At the moment, hintmode and envmode are used to indicate whether static
hints or static env have been provided in the kernel config(5) and the
static versions are mutually exclusive with loader(8)-provided environment.
hintmode *can* be reconfigured later to pull from the dynamic environment,
thus taking advantage of the loader(8) or post-kmem environment setting.

This changeset fixes both problems at once to move us from a semi-confusing
state to a consistent state: if an environment file, hints file, or
loader(8) environment are provided, we use them in a well-known order of
precedence:

- loader(8) environment
- static environment
- static hints file

Once the dynamic environment is setup this becomes a moot point. The
loader(8) and static environments are merged (respecting the above order of
precedence), and the static hints are merged in on an as-needed basis after
the dynamic environment has been setup.

Hints lookup are changed to respect all of the above. Before the dynamic
environment is setup, lookups use the above-mentioned order and fallback to
the next environment if a matching hint is not found. Once the dynamic
environment is setup, that is used on its own since it captures all of the
above information plus any dynamic kenv settings that came up later in boot.

The following tangentially related changes were made to res_find:

- A hintp cookie is now passed in so that related searches continue using
the chain of environments (or dynamic environment) without relying on
global state
- All three environments will be searched if they actually have valid hints
to use, rather than just choosing the first environment that actually had
a hint and rolling with that only

The hintmode sysctl has been ripped out. static_{env,hints}.disabled are
still honored and will disable their respective environments from being used
for hint lookups and from being merged into the dynamic environment, as
expected.

config(8): Make 'env' files consistent with other file-accepting options

Previously, only one 'env' file could be specified. Later 'env' directives
would overwrite earlier 'env' directives. This is inconsistent with every
other file-accepting directives which process files in order, including
hints.

A caveat applies to both hints and env that isn't mentioned: they're
concatenated in the order of appearance, so they're not actually applied in
the way one might think by supplying:

hints x
hints y

Hints in x will take precedence over same-name hints in y due to how
the kernel processes them, stopping at the first line that matches the hint
we're searching for. Future work will flip the order of concatenation so
that later files may still properly override earlier files.

In practice, this likely doesn't matter at all due to the nature of the
beast.


# 3b31596d 25-Jun-2018 Kyle Evans <kevans@FreeBSD.org>

config(8): Add `envvar` support

envvar allows adding individual environment variables to the kernel's static
environment without the overhead of pulling in a full file. envvar in a
config looks like:

envvar some_var=5

All envvar-provided variables will be added after the env file is processed,
so envvar keys that exist in the previous env will be overwritten by
whatever value is set here in the kernel configuration directly.

As an aside, envvar lines are intentionally tokenized differently from
basically every other line. We used a named state when ENVVAR is encountered
to gobble up the rest of the line, which will later be cleaned and validated
in post-processing by sanitize_envline. This turns out to be the simplest
and cleanest way to allow the flexibility that kenv does while not
compromising on silly hacks.

The impact of this bug is that you cannot build a kernel if both of the
following are true:
1) The kernel config file is in a non-default location
2) The kernel config file uses the "include" statement from config(5).

usr.sbin/config/main.c

usr.sbin/config/config.h
usr.sbin/config/lang.l
Added a "-I path" option to config(8). By analogy to cc(1), it adds
an extra path in which the "include" statement will search for
files.

MFC r207260:
Move checking the version up from Makefile generation to just after
we've parsed the config file. Makefile generation is too late if
we've introduce changes to the syntax of the metafiles to warn about
version skew, since we have to try to parse them and we get an parse
error that's rather baffling to the user rather than a 'your config is

We have to defer doing it until after we've read the user's config

compile the kernel is encoded in Makefile.machinename. There's no
real reason for this to be the case, but changing it now would
introduce some logistical issues that I'd rather avoid for the moment.
I intend to revisit this if we're still using config in FreeBSD 10.

This also means that we cannot introduce any config metafile changes
that result in a syntax error or other error for the user until 9.0 is
released. Otherwise, we break the upgrade path, or at least reduce
the usefulness of the error messages we generate.

Optionally include a DEFAULTS config file if it is present in the current

this lets us create DEFAULTS kernel configs in /sys/<arch>/conf that can

Borrow phk's axe and apply the next stage of config(8)'s evolution.

Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the
resource table at boot time.

config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration
no longer has to be compiled into the kernel. You can reconfigure your
isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time:
set hint.ed.0.port=0x320

userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will
move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that.

It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel
if you do not wish to use loader(8). See the "hints" directive in GENERIC
as an example.

All device wiring has been moved out of config(8). There is a set of
helper scripts (see i386/conf/gethints.pl, and the same for alpha and pc98)
that extract the 'at isa? port foo irq bar' from the old files and produces
a hints file. If you install this file as /boot/device.hints (and update
/boot/defaults/loader.conf - You can do a build/install in sys/boot) then
loader will load it automatically for you. You can also compile in the
hints directly with: hints "device.hints" as well.

There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme,
things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings.
I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings
in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so
there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the
documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and
built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/

Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and
'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device'
takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically
allocated. eg: 'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set
to 4. You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3). Also note that
'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be
bad, so there is a config warning for this. This is only needed for
old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units.
All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.

Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when transitioning!

# 3f664fc6 10-Jun-2000 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

A checkpoint of a part of a work-in-progress. Some more cleanups for
config(8). This commit allows control of the creation of the
#include "foo.h" files. We now only create them explicitly when needed.
BTW; these are mostly bad because they usually imply static limits on
numbers of units for devices. eg: struct mysoftc sc[NFOO];
These static limits have Got To Go.


# ac0711e1 29-Jan-2000 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

# 8ef328cf 23-Jan-2000 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Remove the cam-specific device wiring code. This was a duplicate of

# 94142695 08-Jan-2000 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Apply the axe to some more cruft in config(8). In particular:
- redo the "at" configuration system so that it just syntax checks
to make sure the device you're configuring something "at" appears to
exist. Nuke a bunch of complexity that was responsible for creating
"clones" of wildcard devices and some wierd stuff in a few places
including the scbus config tables etc.
- merge "controller" and "device" - there is no difference as far as
the kernel is concernend, it's just something there to make life
difficult for config file writers. "controller" is now an alias for
"device".
- emit full scsi config into the resource tables. We could trivially
change cam to use that rather than it's own "special" table for wiring
and static configuration. ATA could use this too for static wiring.
- try and emulate some of the quirks of the old system where it made
sense. Some were too strange though and I'd be very suprised if they
were features and not outright bugs. nexus handling is still strange.
One thing in particular is that some of the wierd entries in the
newbus devtables is now gone as it was a quirk side effect of the
wildcard/question-mark cloning above.

GENERIC and LINT still build etc.


# e44b832d 12-Dec-1999 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

# c1454d67 30-Oct-1999 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Add option "-d destdir" which instructs config to use another output
directory than the default one. If the option is not given, then the
output of config is exactly as before. Only when an alternate output
directory has been specified will config modify its behavior.

Additional changed:
o Remove the now conflicting and unused NODEV define. It
conflicts with NODEV in sys/param.h.
o Rename the now conflicting MACHINE token to ARCH. It
conflicts with MACHINE in sys/param.h.
o Fix some easy style bugs.
o Fix some easy grammar bugs in the manpage.

- don't require quotes around: port IO_COM2
- recognize negative numbers. (ie: options CAM_DEBUG_UNIT=-1)
- GC some more unused stuff (we don't have composite disks from config(8)).
- various other nits (snprintf paranoia etc)


# e6fbbbe4 18-Apr-1999 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Further cleanups. i386_ioconf.c and alpha_ioconf.c were essentially the

# 188334f6 17-Apr-1999 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Get out the blow torch and hack away all the unused stuff. Note that
I zapped the MACHINE_MIPS stuff, it isn't likely to be useful apart from
recognition of the machine name. It would be reasonable to expect new
ports would look something like the alpha/i386 from a config perspective.

# d8f19d94 12-Jan-1996 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Make a little more effort to avoid touching certain generated files if

# 6d41b96f 11-Dec-1995 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Implement support for conf/options and i386/conf/options.i386
Note that this code is dormant unless the options files exist.
Also, parsing of quoted options in the config files is improved.

What this allows, is all the options in LINT to be specified to be
configured as #defines in a file rather than on the CC command line at
kernel build time. This means that 'make depend' will catch dependencies
on actual *options*, meaning that you can run 'config' and 'make depend'
in complete safety WITHOUT removing the compile directory each time.

Unfortunately, this requires a pass over the source to get the individual
files to #include the new .h files that would be generated by config.
This has a small compile time penalty (appears up to about 2% slower)
from a "fresh" build. Of course, you should not be needing to do complete
rebuilds very often once this was completed, so it would be an overall
win for most people.

Since this code is dormant and we've got a lot of other things happening
on the kernel tree at the moment (prototypes, devfs, static declarations
etc) I am not planning on doing any changes to activate this feature just
yet.


# 975f4abc 29-Jun-1995 David Greenman <dg@FreeBSD.org>

# babb4e92 10-May-1995 Jordan K. Hubbard <jkh@FreeBSD.org>

Add a new `conflicts' flag for telling when a device is in conflict with
others. The flag can be put in descriptive locations, e.g.:

device sb0 at isa? port 0x220 irq 7 conflicts drq 1 vector sbintr
or
device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr

But is nonetheless boolean only. You can't turn conflict checking off for
only a given type of conflict. I didn't deem it worth the trouble at this
stage, and it's far better than the ALLOW_CONFLICT_* that preceeded it.


# c30c84ed 01-Mar-1995 Peter Dufault <dufault@FreeBSD.org>

# 52848688 31-Dec-1994 Justin T. Gibbs <gibbs@FreeBSD.org>

Allow config to fully handle the aic7770 driver dependancies.


# 80785c50 17-Nov-1994 Justin T. Gibbs <gibbs@FreeBSD.org>

Add new keywords to config. The options availible in file.i386 are now:

/*
* filename [ standard | optional ] [ config-dependent ]
* [ dev* | profiling-routine ] [ device-driver] [ no-obj ]
* [ compile-with "compile rule" [no-implicit-rule] ]
* [ dependancy "dependancy-list"]
*/

I added

no-obj - This entry does not create anything linkable to the kernel.
dependancy - Add additional dependancy rules to a target.
no-implicit-rule - Don't assume .c -> .o type rules. Config is really
dumb in this area and assumes that everything is a .c file
irregarless of extention. This was the best choice really
since there may even be .c file that you don't want to follow
the standard rules.

This was all done so that the building to the aic7770 assembler and using
the aic7770 assembler in the building of the aic7770 driver could be config
dependant. I can now have an entry like this for the driver:

aic7770 optional ahc device-driver \
compile-with "${CC} $> -o $@" \
dependancy "$S/gnu/misc/aic7770/aic7770.c" \
no-obj no-implicit-rule
aic7770_seq.h optional ahc device-driver \
compile-with "${.CURDIR}/aic7770 -o $@ $S/gnu/misc/aic7770/aic7770.seq"\
dependancy "$S/gnu/misc/aic7770/aic7770.seq aic7770" \
no-obj no-implicit-rule
i386/isa/aic7770.c optional ahc device-driver \
dependancy "aic7770_seq.h"

I also added '\' escaping to newlines so that this doesn't look as gross as
it could have.
