MFC r336244, r336246-r336247: Standardize boot arg parsing

r336244:
Create helper functions for parsing boot args.

boot_parse_arg to parse a single arg
boot_parse_cmdline to parse a command line string
boot_parse_args to parse all the args in a vector
boot_howto_to_env Convert howto bits to env vars
boot_env_to_howto Return howto mask mased on what's set in the environment.

All these routines return an int that's the bitmask of the args
translated to RB_* flags. As a special case, the 'S' flag sets the
comconsole_speed env var. Any arg that looks like a=b will set the env
key 'a' to value 'b'. If =b is omitted, 'a' is set to '1'. This
should help us reduce the number of redundant copies of these routines
in the tree. It should also give a more uniform experience between
platforms.

Also, invent a new flag RB_PROBE that's set when 'P' is parsed. On
x86 + BIOS, this means 'probe for the keyboard, and if it's not there
set both RB_MULTIPLE and RB_SERIAL (which means show the output on
both video and serial consoles, but make serial primary). Others it
may be some similar concept of probing, but it's loader dependent
what, exactly, it means.

These routines are suitable for /boot/loader and/or the kernel,
though they may not be suitable for the tightly hand-rolled-for-space
environments like boot2.

r336246:
Eliminate boot loader copies of boot arg parsing.

Eliminate 4 of the copies of the arg parsing in /boot/laoder
by using boot_parse_cmdline.

r336247:
Transition to boot_env_to_howto and boot_howto_to_env in the boot
loader.


# 335755 28-Jun-2018 kevans

MFC r334882, r334884-r334885: loader(8) boot flag <-> environment fixes

r334882:
stand: Consolidate checking for boot flags driven by environment vars

e.g. boot_mute, boot_single, boot_verbose, and friends; we checked for these
in multiple places, consolidate into common/ and allow a setting of "NO" for
any of these to turn them off. This allows systems with multiple
loader.conf(5) or loader.conf(5) overlay systems to easily turn off
variables in later processed files by setting it to NO.

r334884:
stand: Fix build after r334882

Not sure how this was not caught in Universe.

r334885:
stand: One more trivial consolidation (setting environment from howto)


# 334572 03-Jun-2018 dim

MFC r334432:

Fix build of stand with base gcc

* Make autoboot() a static function in stand/common/boot.c, so it does
not shadow local variables in gptboot.c and zfsboot.c.
* Remove -Winline from the Makefiles for gptboot, gptzfsboot and
zfsboot, as gcc will always fail to inline some functions, and there
is nothing we can do about it.
* For gcc <= 4.2.1, silence -Wuninitialized for isoboot, as it produces
a false positive warning.
* Remove deprecated and unnecessary -mcpu=i386 flag from stand/defs.mk,
as there is already a -march=i386 flag further in the file.

r327612: Invent new #defines for the biospci_{read,write}_config function

r327703: Define __dmadat after #include'ing ufsread.c.

r327704: Fix printf missing format variables warnings.

r327878: Add GUID for UEFI boot manager variables.

r327879: Report the boot order and where we are in that boot order.

r327881: Allow this file to be included

r328007: Fix booting on some arm64 systems after r327879 by fixing the call
to utf8_to_ucs2

r328029: When returning an error and freeing allocated memory from
ucs2_to_utf8, NULL the return pointer.

r328030: Check the return value from utf8_to_ucs2 instead of whether or not
uv is NULL.

r328031: Need to free uv after we're done using it.

r328061: utf8_to_ucs2() should check for malloc failure

r328156: stand: Move sections around to fix stand/ build with ld.lld on
armv7

r328169: Remove extra copy of bootinfo.c. It's a bit rotted copy of the one
in efi/loader.

r328288: Fix some resource leaks.

r328289: Don't leak memory when displaying help.

r328290: On malloc failure, be sure to close the include file that triggered
it.

r328291: getenv does not return tainted data in the boot loader. Attempt to
clue Coverity into that fact.

r328292: There's no tainted data here, tag it as such to avoid false
positives.

r328411: loader.efi: add missing EFI GUIDs

r328536: loader: support for mixed-endianness ELF/loader and POWER8

r328769: Centralize several variables.

r328779: Retire pnp.4th and the code needed only for 4th words used here.

loader scripts. However, that path won't be taken after all it
seems.

r328781: Remove pcibios forth support.

r328782: Now that we no longer conditionally compile some files outside of
ficl

r328783: Invent new LDR_INTERP for the loader interpreter to use.

r328806: We need more heap space to properly load newer powerpc kernels.

r328808: Implement strcoll as strcmp.

r328826: Make cross-endian loader changes apply only to powerpc

r328835: Fix regression introduced in r328806, preventing boot on many
platforms.

# 329145 12-Feb-2018 kevans

MFC r325834,r325997,326502: Move sys/boot to stand/

This is effectively a direct commit to stable/11, due to differences between
stable/11 and head. Changes to DTS in sys/boot/fdt/dts were often
accompanied by kernel changes. Many of these were also risc-v updates that
likely had many more dependencies to MFC.

Because of this, sys/boot/fdt/dts remains as-is while everything else in
sys/boot relocates to stand/.

r325834: Move sys/boot to stand. Fix all references to new location

r325997: Remove empty directories.

r326502: Document the sys/boot -> stand move in hier.7 and the top-level README.

zfs boot: try to set vfs.root.mountfrom from currdev as a fallback

This way with the new zfsloader there is no need to explicitly set zfs
root filesystem either via vfs.root.mountfrom or fstab.
It should be automatically picked up from currdev which is by default
is set from bootfs.

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.

sys/boot/common.c
=================
Extend the loader to parse the root file system mount options in /etc/fstab,
and set a new loader variable vfs.root.mountfrom.options with these options.
The root mount options must be a comma-delimited string, as specified in
/etc/fstab.
Only set the vfs.root.mountfrom.options variable if it has not been
set in the environment.

sys/kern/vfs_mount.c
====================
When mounting the root file system, pass the mount options
specified in vfs.root.mountfrom.options, but filter out "rw" and "noro",
since the initial mount of the root file system must be done as "ro".
While we are here, try to add a few hints to the mountroot prompt
to give users and idea what might of gone wrong during mounting
of the root file system.

Extend `autoboot_delay' handling - is this variable is set to -1 don't allow
user to interrupt autoboot process at all. Currently, even when
`autoboot_delay' is set to 0, loader(8) still allows autoboot process to be
interrupted by pressing any key on the console when the loader reads kernel
and modules from the disk. In some cases (i.e. untrusted environment) such
behaviour is highly indesirable and user should not be allowed to interfere
with the autoboot process at all.

Start countdown only _after_ the kernel was loaded. Not very fair otherwise.


# 65613 08-Sep-2000 dcs

Fix autoboot. Now autoboot *always* show the correct kernel name. It
gets the name from the environment variable kernelname, which is set
when a kernel is loaded. For this reason, autoboot will _first_ try
to load a kernel, and only proceed with the wait prompt after that
succeeds. If it fails, it will abort immediately.

While I understand some may think this behavior undesirable, I think
it is, overall, the best thing to do, even if we do not consider the
aesthetic issue. Notice that anyone using the default loader.rc
already has the kernel loaded before autoboot.

On unload, unset kernelname.

Separate the code that tries to load a kernel from the list of options
to the function loadakernel(). It is used by both boot() and
autoboot().

Delay calling the device cleanup routines until the absolute last

# 60490 13-May-2000 obrien

The loader was written so that if /kernel was missing /kernel.old would
be booted. Due to a bug, this wasn't happening.

There is still a lesser bug in that the loader decides which file to boot
after the 10sec count down. This means the bootfile listed in the count
down in is wrong in the case where the loader will boot /kernel.old.

Walk around the end of all the silly guessing of device types and unit

via the environment variable vfs.root.mountfrom.

- VERBOSE_LS is obsolete, as the heap is much better behaved now.
- Don't whine about nodes we can't stat(); these are usually

- Autoboot is now controlled by $autoboot_delay, which is a value
in seconds or NO to disable autoboot.
- Don't autoboot at the end of boot.conf if we have already tried.
- Add a 'read' command to complement 'echo'. Both are still hidden.
- Improve the 'source' command/function so that it is possible to
source scripts off removable media. The entire script is read and
saved before beginning execution. Script lines beginning with
'@' will not be echoed when being executed. Script execution will
normally terminate at the first error, however if the script line
begins with '-' this behaviour is overriden for that command.

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.
