Detailed commit messages:

r258741: Note that libstand is 32-bit on amd64 and powerpc64

r261568: Build libstand as a 64-bit library on amd64

  The 32-bit bootloaders now link against libstand.a in
  sys/boot/libstand32, so there is no need to force /usr/lib/libstand.a
  to be 32-bit.

r261603: Don't force efi to a 32-bit build on amd64

r261668: Build libstand as a 64-bit library on ppc64

  The 32-bit bootloaders now link against libstand.a in
  sys/boot/libstand32, so there is no need to force /usr/lib/libstand.a
  to be 32-bit.

  This is equivalent to r261568 for amd64.

r263115: Add amd64 EFI headers

r263117: Connect 64-bit boot ficl to the build

  It is not yet used, but this will ensure it doesn't get broken.

r263968: Use EFI types for EFI values (silences warnings).

  EFI UINTN is actually a 64-bit type on 64-bit processors.

r264078: Put each source file on a separate line

  This will simplify rebasing the amd64 UEFI patch set.

r264087: Build boot/ficl as 64-bit library on amd64

  The 32-bit bootloaders on amd64 now use the 32-bit version in ficl32,
  as is done with libstand32.  The native 64-bit ficl will be used by the
  upcoming UEFI loader.

r264088: Merge efilib changes from projects/uefi

  r247216: Add the ability for a device to have an "alias" handle.

  r247379: Fix network device registration.

  r247380: Adjust our load device when we boot from CD under UEFI.

    The process for booting from a CD under UEFI involves adding a FAT
    filesystem containing your loader code as an El Torito boot image.
    When UEFI detects this, it provides a block IO instance that points
    at the FAT filesystem as a child of the device that represents the CD
    itself. The problem being that the CD device is flagged as a "raw
    device" while the boot image is flagged as a "logical partition".
    The existing EFI partition code only looks for logical partitions and
    so the CD filesystem was rendered invisible.

    To fix this, check the type of each block IO device. If it's found to
    be a CD, and thus an El Torito boot image, look up its parent device
    and add that instead so that the loader will then load the kernel from
    the CD filesystem.  This is done by using the handle for the boot
    filesystem as an alias.

    Something similar to this will be required for booting from other media
    as well as the loader will live in the EFI system partition, not on the
    partition containing the kernel.

  r247381: Remove a scatalogical debug printf that crept in.

r264092: Add -fPIC for amd64

r264095: Support UEFI booting on amd64 via loader.efi

  This is largely the work from the projects/uefi branch, with some
  additional refinements.  This is derived from (and replaces) the
  original i386 efi implementation; i386 support will be restored later.

  Specific revisions of note from projects/uefi:

  r246231:

    Add necessary code to hand off from loader to an amd64 kernel.

  r246335:

    Grab the EFI memory map and store it as module metadata on the kernel.

    This is the same approach used to provide the BIOS SMAP to the kernel.

  r246336:

    Pass the ACPI table metadata via hints so the kernel ACPI code can
    find them.

  r246608:

    Rework copy routines to ensure we always use memory allocated via EFI.

    The previous code assumed it could copy wherever it liked. This is not
    the case. The approach taken by this code is pretty ham-fisted in that
    it simply allocates a large (32MB) buffer area and stages into that,
    then copies the whole area into place when it's time to execute. A more
    elegant solution could be used but this works for now.

  r247214:

    Fix a number of problems preventing proper handover to the kernel.

    There were two issues at play here. Firstly, there was nothing
    preventing UEFI from placing the loader code above 1GB in RAM. This
    meant that when we switched in the page tables the kernel expects to
    be running on, we are suddenly unmapped and things no longer work. We
    solve this by making our trampoline code not dependent on being at any
    given position and simply copying it to a "safe" location before
    calling it.

    Secondly, UEFI could allocate our stack wherever it wants. As it
    happened on my PC, that was right where I was copying the kernel to.
    This did not cause happiness. The solution to this was to also switch
    to a temporary stack in a safe location before performing the final
    copy of the loaded kernel.

  r247216:

    Use the UEFI Graphics Output Protocol to get the parameters of the
    framebuffer.

r264115: Fix printf format mismatches

r264132: Connect sys/boot/amd64 to the build

r264208: Do not build the amd64 UEFI loader with GCC

  The UEFI loader causes buildworld to fail when building with (in-tree)
  GCC, due to a typedef redefinition.  As it happens the in-tree GCC
  cannot successfully build the UEFI loader anyhow, as it does not support
  __attribute__((ms_abi)).  Thus, just avoid trying to build it with GCC,
  rather than disconnecting it from the build until the underlying issue
  is fixed.

r264261: Correct a variable's type for 64-bit Ficl

  FICL_INT is long.

r264262: Fix printf args for 64-bit archs

r264263: Add explicit casts to quiet warnings in libefi

r264319: Fix EFI loader object tree creation on 9.x build hosts

  Previously ${COMPILER_TYPE} was checked in sys/boot/amd64, and the efi
  subdirectory was skipped altogether for gcc (since GCC does not support
  a required attribute).  However, during the early buildworld stages
  ${COMPILER_TYPE} is the existing system compiler (i.e., gcc on 9.x build
  hosts), not the compiler that will eventually be used.  This caused
  "make obj" to skip the efi subdirectory.  In later build stages
  ${COMPILER_TYPE} is "clang", and then the efi loader would attempt to
  build in the source directory.

r265028 (dteske): Disable the beastie menu for EFI console ...

  which doesn't support ANSI codes (so things like `at-xy', `clear', and
  other commands don't work making it impossible to generate a living
  menu).

r265057 (nwhitehorn): Turn off various fancy instruction sets...

  as well as deduplicate some options.  This makes the EFI loader build
  work with CPUTYPE=native in make.conf on my Core i5.

r268974 (sbruno): Supress clang warning for FreeBSD printf %b and %D formats

Allow customization of the brand displayed in the boot menu.
If the user specifies in /boot/loader.conf:

    loader_brand="mycustom-brand"

Then "mycustom-brand" will be executed instead of "fbsd-logo".

Extend loader_delay as-documented in beastie.4th(8) and delay.4th(8),
making it available to architectures that do not use or load the beastie
menu. This is reported to save headaches on some PPC systems where unload
followed by load does not produce the desired results wherein if-given
the opportunity to abort the initial loading sequence, you can customize
the first load.

Defer loading of kernel and modules if the beastie menu is enabled. Add a
kernel selection menu to the beastie menu. List of kernels is taken from
`kernels' in loader.conf(5) as a space (or comma) separated list of names
to display (up to 9). If not set, default value is "kernel kernel.old".

Refactor of /dev/random device. Main points include:

* Userland seeding is no longer used. This auto-seeds at boot time
on PC/Desktop setups; this may need some tweeking and intelligence
from those folks setting up embedded boxes, but the work is believed
to be minimal.

* An entropy cache is written to /entropy (even during installation)
and the kernel uses this at next boot.

* An entropy file written to /boot/entropy can be loaded by loader(8)

* Hardware sources such as rdrand are fed into Yarrow, and are no
longer available raw.

Debugging. My attempt at EVENTHANDLER(multiuser) was a failure; use
EVENTHANDLER(mountroot) instead.

This means we can't count on /var being present, so something will
need to be done about harvesting /var/db/entropy/... .

Some policy now needs to be sorted out, and a pre-sync cache needs
to be written, but apart from that we are now ready to go.

Over to review.

Looking pretty good; this mostly works now. New code includes:

preloaded entropy. Failures are soft, but announced. Untested.

* Use EVENTHANDLER to do above just before we go multiuser. Untested.

SNAPSHOT.

Simplify the malloc pools; We only need one for this device.

Simplify the harvest queue.

Marginally improve the entropy pool hashing, making it a bit faster
in the process.

Connect up the hardware "live" source harvesting. This is simplistic
for now, and will need to be made rate-adaptive.

All of the above passes a compile test but needs to be debugged.

Snapshot. This passes the build test, but has not yet been finished or debugged.

Contains:

* Refactor the hardware RNG CPU instruction sources to feed into
the software mixer. This is unfinished. The actual harvesting needs
to be sorted out. Modified by me (see below).

* Remove 'frac' parameter from random_harvest(). This was never
used and adds extra code for no good reason.

* Remove device write entropy harvesting. This provided a weak
attack vector, was not very good at bootstrapping the device. To
follow will be a replacement explicit reseed knob.

* Separate out all the RANDOM_PURE sources into separate harvest
entities. This adds some secuity in the case where more than one
is present.

* Review all the code and fix anything obviously messy or inconsistent.
Address som review concerns while I'm here, like rename the pseudo-rng
to 'dummy'.

Snapshot; Do some running repairs on entropy harvesting. More needs
to follow.

Snapshot of current work;

1) Clean up namespace; only use "Yarrow" where it is Yarrow-specific
or close enough to the Yarrow algorithm. For the rest use a neutral
name.

2) Tidy up headers; put private stuff in private places. More could
be done here.

3) Streamline the hashing/encryption; no need for a 256-bit counter;
128 bits will last for long enough.

There are bits of debug code lying around; these will be removed
at a later stage.

1) example (partially humorous random_adaptor, that I call "EXAMPLE")
 * It's not meant to be used in a real system, it's there to show how
   the basics of how to create interfaces for random_adaptors. Perhaps
   it should belong in a manual page

2) Move probe.c's functionality in to random_adaptors.c
 * rename random_ident_hardware() to random_adaptor_choose()

3) Introduce a new way to choose (or select) random_adaptors via tunable
"rngs_want" It's a list of comma separated names of adaptors, ordered
by preferences. I.e.:
rngs_want="yarrow,rdrand"

Such setting would cause yarrow to be preferred to rdrand. If neither of
them are available (or registered), then system will default to
something reasonable (currently yarrow). If yarrow is not present, then
we fall back to the adaptor that's first on the list of registered
adaptors.

4) Introduce a way where RNGs can play a role of entropy source. This is
mostly useful for HW rngs.

The way I envision this is that every HW RNG will use this
functionality by default. Functionality to disable this is also present.
I have an example of how to use this in random_adaptor_example.c (see
modload event, and init function)

5) fix kern.random.adaptors from
kern.random.adaptors: yarrowpanicblock
to
kern.random.adaptors: yarrow,panic,block

6) add kern.random.active_adaptor to indicate currently selected
adaptor:
root@freebsd04:~ # sysctl kern.random.active_adaptor
kern.random.active_adaptor: yarrow

and add support for default underride to $loader_version, acting as a way to
name a release. Release text is not displayed for the aforementioned feature
of alternate display layout (introduced in r254237); however, for all other
layouts (incl. default), the release name is displayed at lower-right.

See version.4th(8) for additional information and/or historical details.
NOTE: Also a minor edit to version.4th(8) while we're here.
