before rev 1.4. This change makes OF 2.4 machines actually boot, and
it works fine on my OF 2.01 machine. No reports of failures on other
archs.
I expect this change is fine as the original code flushed the just-loaded
ofwboot out of the cache, conditionalized on FIRMWORKSBUGS. In rev.
1.4, the code got in-lined, and changed to actually flush low memory
out of the cache. Since machines kept booting, I expect the firmware
was really flushing the binary out of the cache, so we're fine.
are related to using libsa's alloc(). Problems go away with this alloc().
The problem is that the libsa alloc() assumes we can grab memory off
the end of the program. That assumption doesn't work for us. It's
much better to use the alloc() we were using as it calls OF_claim()
to get memory.
disk label offset. use hardcoded "1" for now, i guess we need a new #define
in sys/disklabel_mbr.h. fixes ofwboot to boot kernel off from MBR-formatted
disk.
and ofwboot.xcf will load at 640000. The idea is that we can now
leave load-base at 600000, and it will work right for all three methods.
The problem is that the file loader and the net loader use load-base
as a scratch area, so if the executable really wants to load there,
the load fails.
Make sure that each va_start has one and only one matching va_end,
especially in error cases.
If the va_list is used multiple times, do multiple va_starts/va_ends.
If a function gets va_list as argument, don't let it use va_end (since
it's the callers responsibility).
Improved by comments from enami and christos -- thanks!
Heimdal/krb4/KAME changes already fed back, rest to follow.
Inspired by, but not not based on, OpenBSD.
maps standard boot flags to corresponding RB_* values
use BOOT_FLAG() in port's MD code as appropriate
as discussed on tech-kern, add new boot flags -v, -q for booting
verbosely or quietly, and corresponding AB_VERBOSE/AB_QUIET
boot flags; also add FreeBSD-compatible bootverbose macro and
NetBSD-specific bootquiet macro
for hpcmips, use new bootverbose instead of it's own hpcmips_verbose
Tested on i386, and to limited extend (compile of affected files) also for
mvme68k, hp300, luna68k, sun3.
