r341101:
powerpcspe: Don't crash the loader on ubldr with SPE instructions.

-msoft-float seems to be insufficient for disabling the SPE on powerpcspe.
Force it off with -mno-spe as well. This prevents a crash in ubldr on
powerpcspe.

r341231:
loader: command_bcache() should print unsigned values

All bcache counters are unsigned.

r341276:
When handling CMD_CRIT error set command_errmsg to NULL after we dump it out,
so that it does not result in error message printed twice.

OK load doodoo
can't find 'doodoo'
can't find 'doodoo'
OK

r341329:
loader.efi: fix EFI getchar() for multiple consoles

This fix is ported from illumos (issue #9970), the analysis and initial
implementation was done by John Levon.

See also: https://www.illumos.org/issues/9970

Currently, efi_cons_getchar() will wait for a key. While this seems to make
sense, the implementation of getchar() in common/console.c will loop across
getchar() for all consoles without doing ischar() first.

This means that if we've configured multiple consoles, we can't input into
the serial, as getchar() will be sat waiting for input only from efi_console.c

This patch does implement a bit more generic key buffer to support
translation of input keys, and we use generic efi_readkey() to reduce
duplication from calls from getchar() and poll().

r341433:
Move inclusion of src.opts.mk later.

src.opts.mk includes bsd.own.mk. This in turn defines CTFCONVERT_CMD
depending on the MK_CTF value. We then set MK_CTF to no, which has no
real effect. The solution is to set all the MK_foo values before
including src.opts.mk.

This should stop the cdboot binary from exploding in size for releases
built WITH_CTF=yes in src.conf.

r341780:
powerpc/ubldr: Teach powerpc's ubldr to boot 64-bit kernels

This is just a copy of powerpc/ofw's ppc64_elf_freebsd.c modified to fit
ubldr's boot format.

r342054:
Print an error message in efi_main.c if we can't allocate memory for the heap

With the default Qemu parameters, only 128MB RAM gets given to a VM. This causes
the loader to be unable to allocate the 64MB it needs for the heap. This change
makes the cause of the error more obvious.

r342055:
Cast error message in efi_main.c to CHAR16* to avoid build error

r342721:
loader.efi: update memmap command to recognize new attributes

Also move memory type to string translation to libefi for later use.

r342742:
loader.efi: efi variable rework and lsefi command added

This update does add diag and debug capabilities to interpret the efi
variables, configuration and protocols (lsefi).

The side effect is that we add/update bunch of related headers.

r342840:
Create MK_LOADER_VERBOSE and connect it to ELF_VERBOSE in the loader
code.

r343008:
Add Dell Chromebook to the list of devices with E820 extmem quirk enabled

Just like for Acer C270 chromebook the E820 extmem workaround is required for
FreeBSD to boot on Dell chromebook.

r343225:
Unbreak mip64 build after r328437

Add exit and getchar functions to beri/boot2 code. They are required by
panic_action functin introduced in r328437

# 344411 21-Feb-2019 kevans

MFC r336431: stand: Fix UEFI console scrolling

Remove bogus attempt to simulate scrolling. It's not needed and messes
up serial output. Setting the cursor position after every character is
inefficient, and causes all lines to be over-printed in the serial
console for the boot loader. Allow the terminal to do the emulation.

This isn't completely perfect when the size of the terminal attached
to the serial port isn't the same as 80x25 to match the viedoe console
(or whatever the video console is). While imperfect still, these
changes make it much better.

This makes the serial port useful with UEFI.

MFC r331475: loader consoles: Implement SGR 24, 25

Mostly for completeness sake- implement 24 (no underline) and 25 (no blink)

r331440:
Match broken style of vidconsole.c

This particular function uses a broken mix of indentation styles. Match it
for the newly added SGR 22 bits.


# 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.

Print the newline character along with the carriage return when TERM_EMU is
disabled. Without this we print all lines over top of each other.

# 301702 08-Jun-2016 andrew

Allow libefi to be built with TERM_EMU undefined. There were a few places
where we assumed TERM_EMU was defined but didn't check. Fix these by also
including them under the ifdefs.

As HO is called from loader we need a null implementation so loader.efi
doesn't need to know which version of libefi it is building against.

Enable warnings in EFI boot code

Set WARNS if not set for EFI boot code and fix the issues highlighted by
setting it.

Most components are set to WARNS level 6 with few being left at lower
levels due to the amount of changes needed to fix at higher levels.

Error types fixed:
* Missing / invalid casts
* Missing inner structs
* Unused vars
* Missing static for internal only funcs
* Missing prototypes
* Alignment changes
* Use of uninitialised vars
* Unknown pragma (intrinsic)
* Missing types etc due to missing includes
* printf formatting types

Reset the text attributes when initializing the console. The EFI
loader typically doesn't do this so that we end up booting the
with whatever the EFI loader has set it to last.

Use __FBSDID rather than rcsid[].

In efi_cons_poll we check if a key is present (pending) by checking
the signaled state of the apropriate event. As a side-effect of
checking the event, it's signaled state is cleared if it was set.
In efi_cons_getchar we used to wait for the apropriate event to be
signaled before reading a character. This however does not work if
we poll before reading the characteri, such as during autoboot. On
a more compliant EFI implementation this resulted in the behaviour
that hitting a key during autoboot would stop the countdown, but
would then wait for a new character to arrive instead of reading
the already pending key that stopped the countdown.

The correct behaviour for efi_cons_getchar is to try to read a key
and if none is pending, to wait for the apropriate event to signal
the arrival of a new key.

Note that with the previous behaviour, the second key would determine
how the autoboot was interrupted. This would indicate that the first
key got lost. This indicates that EFI does not necessarily maintain
a queue of pending keys. FWIW...

First approximation of an ia64 EFI loader. Not functional.
