 1.5  30-Aug-2023  christos Override these two booters with -Oz for clang since it produces smaller code
here.
 1.4  22-Jan-2020  martin branches: 1.4.24;
Clamp FAT partition size to 32 bit byte offsets to make the code small
enough to fit.
 1.3  11-Dec-2005  christos branches: 1.3.166; 1.3.172;
merge ktrace-lwp.
 1.2  13-Oct-2003  lukem branches: 1.2.4;
Instead of defining TERSE_ERROR by default (due to space constraints),
define NO_LBA_CHECK. bootxx_msdos still needs TERSE_ERROR because its
BPB is larger than the default.
 1.1  08-Oct-2003  lukem Overhaul MBR handling (part 1):

<sys/bootblock.h>:
* Added definitions for the Master Boot Record (MBR) used by
a variety of systems (primarily i386), including the format
of the BIOS Parameter Block (BPB).
This information was cribbed from a variety of sources
including <sys/disklabel_mbr.h> which this is a superset of.

As part of this, some data structure elements and #defines
were renamed to be more "namespace friendly" and consistent
with other bootblocks and MBR documentation.
Update all uses of the old names to the new names.

<sys/disklabel_mbr.h>:
* Deprecated in favor of <sys/bootblock.h> (the latter is more
"host tool" friendly).

amd64 & i386:
* Renamed /usr/mdec/bootxx_dosfs to /usr/mdec/bootxx_msdos, to
be consistent with the naming convention of the msdosfs tools.

* Removed /usr/mdec/bootxx_ufs, as it's equivalent to bootxx_ffsv1
and it's confusing to have two functionally equivalent bootblocks,
especially given that "ufs" has multiple meanings (it could be
a synonym for "ffs", or the group of ffs/lfs/ext2fs file systems).

* Rework pbr.S (the first sector of bootxx_*):
+ Ensure that BPB (bytes 11..89) and the partition table
(bytes 446..509) do not contain code.
+ Add support for booting from FAT partitions if BOOT_FROM_FAT
is defined. (Only set for bootxx_msdos).
+ Remove "dummy" partition 3; if people want to installboot(8)
these to the start of the disk they can use fdisk(8) to
create a real MBR partition table...
+ Compile with TERSE_ERROR so it fits because of the above.
Whilst this is less user friendly, I feel it's important
to have a valid partition table and BPB in the MBR/PBR.

* Renamed /usr/mdec/biosboot to /usr/mdec/boot, to be consistent
with other platforms.

* Enable SUPPORT_DOSFS in /usr/mdec/boot (stage2), so that
we can boot off FAT partitions.

* Crank version of /usr/mdec/boot to 3.1, and fix some of the other
entries in the version file.

installboot(8) (i386):
* Read the existing MBR of the filesystem and retain the BIOS
Parameter Block (BPB) in bytes 11..89 and the MBR partition
table in bytes 446..509. (Previously installboot(8) would
trash those two sections of the MBR.)

mbrlabel(8):
* Use sys/lib/libkern/xlat_mbr_fstype.c instead of homegrown code
to map the MBR partition type to the NetBSD disklabel type.


Test built "make release" for i386, and new bootblocks verified to work
(even off FAT!).

Fix the clang build by setting -z noseparate-code

Merge the OPT_SIZE flags. -Oz is not always producing smaller code that -Os,
so default to -Os for both, and we'll override where needed.

Override these two booters with -Oz for clang since it produces smaller code
here.

x86/dosboot: Allow NULL dereference to fetch command line arguments
DOS command line arguments are provided as struct psp at 0x0000;
see doscommain.c.

Recent versions of gcc and clang are clever enough to optimize code
block involving NULL dereference into ud2 insn.

Sprinkle -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks to doscommain.c to
prevent this behavior.

Note that dosboot.com for netbsd-9 and later was broken due to
this ``over optimization''. gcc 5.5.0 and clang 4.0.0 in netbsd-8
generate correct codes without this workaround.

XXX
Are there still use cases for dosboot.com? Does anyone want to
boot NetBSD from real-mode DOS in 2023?

x86/dosboot: Do not page-align data segment
4K alignment is too heavy burden for COM executable with 64K limit :)
Fix binary size overflow for clang/amd64.
