manu | Add support for USB-to-serial adapter in UEFI bootstrap.
This change lets UEFI bootstrap use any UEFI supported serial port. com0 to com3 remain used for EISA based serial ports. com4 and over are used for serial ports based on something else (USB, PCI or whatever).
Support for non-EISA serial ports may be provided by UEFI. An open source UEFI driver exists for FTDI FT232R USB-to-serial adapter.
The change also introduce the kconsdev command, to select the kernel console device without altering the bootstrap console device. This useful because the device names can differ in bootstrap and kernel. For instance an USB-to-serial device could be com4 in boostrap and ucom0 for the kernel.
An upcoming change will add console suport to ucom(4).

1.35 | 20-May-2025 |
pgoyette | Historically (prior to supporting the KERNEL_DIR build option), the boot-commands ``boot file'' and ``boot /file'' were equivalent and attempted to execute the same set of files. (In the boot-loader, all path (filename) lookups start at the root directory whether or not a leading slash is present.)
However, with the recent addition of support for the KERNEL_DIR option, the leading slash character resulted in skipping the attempt to load /file/kernel and /file/kernel.gz, and thus the boot loader will not attempt to boot from a new KERNEL_DIR environment if the leading slash is present. This commit restores attempting to load these files, thus making these two boot-commands once again equivalent in both legacy and KERNEL_DIR environments..
Changes were tested on both i386 (biosboot/qemu) and amd64 (both biosboot/qemu and efiboot/bare-metal). Correct behavior was observed using the filenames printed by a preexisting printf(). The output from ``boot'' commands without arguments was also confirmed to meet expectations, and commands other than ``boot'' continued to work as expected.
As discussed on tech-kern, port-i386, and port-amd64 mailing lists. The more extensive documentation requested by riastradh@ should have been dealt with more than five years ago with the initial KERNEL_DIR commit; this commit doesn't pretend to meet that request. As noted by kre@, the changes being made here are minor/trivial and highly unlikely to break anything. These changes only affect booting in new KERNEL_DIR environments; "legacy" environments are not affected.

manu | Remove XXX todo marker left by mistake
|
1.28 | 05-May-2023 |
manu | Add a SELFRELOC kernel option for the sake of documentation clarity.
Instead of telling that x86/boot(8) reloc command needs a kernel able to self relocate, we can tell it needs a kernel built with the SELFRELOC option. This keeps the reader from wondering what could make a kernel able to self relocate.

1.27 | 24-Apr-2023 |
manu | Merge x86 boot options in x86/boot(8) and add undocumented UEFI options
We were supposed to keep the option list in x86/boot(8), x86/dosoot(8) and x86/pxeboot(8) in sync, but it did not happen, hence it may work better with all the options in x86/boot(8). Also add the undocumented UEFI boot options.

Add multiboot 2 support to x86 bootloaders
multiboot 2 is required to boot Xen on an EFI system.
This also require a kernel patch for properly discovering the ACPI RSDP, which is available after 20190912, in src/sys/arch/x86/acpi/acpi_machdep.c 1.26-1.28
There are a few missing bit in this multiboot 2 implementation (which are unused by Xen): - Header tags Address, Freambuffer, and Relocatable are ignored - Tags APM and Network are not provided - Tags ACPI old and ACP new are only provided for ACPI boot - Tag boot device does not provides the subpart (BSD disklabel partition)
Notes: - multiboot2 is disabled in dosboot, otherwise the binary gets too big and build fails. - in src/sys/arch/i386/stand/efiboot, consinit() is renamed as efi_consinit() to avoid prototype conflicts in src/sys/sys/systm.h
Remove debug define.
It remained there unseen because it was misspelled!
Remove obsoeolete BUGS note that UEFI bootloader does not support multiboot
Add new multiboot2.h header.

Add reloc keyworkd to let EFI bootstrap load amd64 kernel at any address
EFI bootstrap assumes it can copy the amd64 kernel to its ELF load address (that is KERNTEXTOFF - KERNBASE = 0x200000), but it can clash with previous UEFI memory allocation, as described here: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2023/04/07/msg028833.html
This change adds a reloc keyword for controling where the EFI boostrap will copy the kernel image. Possible values are: default - the default and prior behavior, copy at 0x200000. none - do not copy and use the kernel image where it was loaded. address - specify an explicit address where to copy the kernel.
This comes with an amd64 kernel patch that makes it self-relocatable. It first discover where it was loaded in memory, and if this is different than the expected 0x200000, hhe the kernel relocates itself and start over at the right address.
Merge x86 boot options in x86/boot(8) and add undocumented UEFI options
We were supposed to keep the option list in x86/boot(8), x86/dosoot(8) and x86/pxeboot(8) in sync, but it did not happen, hence it may work better with all the options in x86/boot(8). Also add the undocumented UEFI boot options.
Add a SELFRELOC kernel option for the sake of documentation clarity. Instead of telling that x86/boot(8) reloc command needs a kernel able to self relocate, we can tell it needs a kernel built with the SELFRELOC option. This keeps the reader from wondering what could make a kernel able to self relocate.

Add multiboot 2 support to x86 bootloaders
multiboot 2 is required to boot Xen on an EFI system.
This also require a kernel patch for properly discovering the ACPI RSDP, which is available after 20190912, in src/sys/arch/x86/acpi/acpi_machdep.c 1.26-1.28
There are a few missing bit in this multiboot 2 implementation (which are unused by Xen): - Header tags Address, Freambuffer, and Relocatable are ignored - Tags APM and Network are not provided - Tags ACPI old and ACP new are only provided for ACPI boot - Tag boot device does not provides the subpart (BSD disklabel partition) Notes: - multiboot2 is disabled in dosboot, otherwise the binary gets too big and build fails. - in src/sys/arch/i386/stand/efiboot, consinit() is renamed as efi_consinit() to avoid prototype conflicts in src/sys/sys/systm.h
Remove debug define.
It remained there unseen because it was misspelled!

The size of allocation is the size of the structure biosdisk, not the size of a pointer.

Direct reader to shell documentation generally, rather than csh(1) specifically.
Mention variables OLDPWD and PWD.
Move the text that explains that cd(1) is a shell built-in to the very beginning of the description where it can be seen prominently.
Improve formatting.

Remove workaround for ancient HTML generation code. Use EXIT STATUS and .Ex.

Add reloc keyworkd to let EFI bootstrap load amd64 kernel at any address
EFI bootstrap assumes it can copy the amd64 kernel to its ELF load address (that is KERNTEXTOFF - KERNBASE = 0x200000), but it can clash with previous UEFI memory allocation, as described here: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2023/04/07/msg028833.html
This change adds a reloc keyword for controling where the EFI boostrap will copy the kernel image. Possible values are: default - the default and prior behavior, copy at 0x200000. none - do not copy and use the kernel image where it was loaded. address - specify an explicit address where to copy the kernel.
This comes with an amd64 kernel patch that makes it self-relocatable. It first discover where it was loaded in memory, and if this is different than the expected 0x200000, hhe the kernel relocates itself and start over at the right address.
Merge x86 boot options in x86/boot(8) and add undocumented UEFI options
We were supposed to keep the option list in x86/boot(8), x86/dosoot(8) and x86/pxeboot(8) in sync, but it did not happen, hence it may work better with all the options in x86/boot(8). Also add the undocumented UEFI boot options.
Add a SELFRELOC kernel option for the sake of documentation clarity. Instead of telling that x86/boot(8) reloc command needs a kernel able to self relocate, we can tell it needs a kernel built with the SELFRELOC option. This keeps the reader from wondering what could make a kernel able to self relocate.
