New Revision: 328835
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/328835

Log:
  Fix regression introduced in r328806, preventing boot at least on all
  PowerPC Apple hardware, and likely all Open Firmware systems.
  
  The loader would allocate memory for its heap at whatever address Open
  Firmware gave it, which would in general be the lowest unallocated address,
  usually starting a page or two above 0. As the kernel is linked at 1 MB,
  and loader insists on running the kernel at its link address, any heap
  larger than 1 MB would overlap the kernel, causing loader memory allocations
  to corrupt the kernel and vice versa.
  
  Although r328806 made this problem much worse by increasing the heap size
  to 8 MB, causing 88% of the loader heap to overlap with the kernel, the
  problem has always existed. The old heap size was 1 MB and, unless that
  started exactly at zero, which would cause other problems, some number of
  pages of the loader heap still overlapped with the kernel.
  
  This patch solves the issue in two ways and cleans up some related code:
  - Moves the loader heap inside of the loader. This guarantees that the
    heap will be contiguous with the loader and simplifies the heap
    allocation code at no cost, since the heap lives in BSS.
  - Moves the loader, previously at 28 MB and dangerously close to the kernel
    it loads, a bit higher to 44 MB. This has the effect of breaking loader
    on non-embedded PPC machines with < 48 MB of RAM, but we did not support
    those anyway.
  
  The fundamental problem is that the way loader loads ELF files is
  incredibly fragile, but that can't be fixed without fundamental
  architectural changes.
