hi,
this diet patch=20
http://lev.vlakno.cz/~rdivacky/boot2-final-diet.patch
includes these changes:
o bunch of variables are turned into uint8_t=20
o initial setting of namep[] in lookup() is removed
as it's only overwritten a few lines down
o kname is explicitly initialized in main() as BSS
in boot2 is not zeroed
o the "fmt" dance in load() is removed
o buf in printf() is made static to save space
Please test/review this patch. John Baldwin already looked and I booted
it so it should be quite safe. I plan to commit this in a few days unless
problems are found..
thank you! roman
p.s. for those interested - with a few other changes (to llvm, not freebsd)=
we
do fit within boot2 limit :)
