From: Raphael S. Carvalho <raphael.scarv at gmail.com> v2: Extract ADV_SIZE automatically from libinstaller/setadv.h. Calc the size of ldlinux.sys from ldlinux.bin, and check if it exceeds the limit. ldlinux.sys must fit between the bootsector and two copies of ADV whose size may vary. Thus, the size of ldlinux.sys can be at most: 65536 - 2 * ADV_SIZE - 512 (limit). Certain file systems

This patch adds support for printing messages through a debug console. QEMU, for example, supports this through the debugcon facility. The benefit is that it's *much* faster than printing over a serial port. To print to I/O port 0x402 (the default used by SeaBIOS and OVMF), add "-DDEBUG_IO_PORT=0x402 -DCORE_DEBUG=1" to the build CFLAGS. To enable a debug console in QEMU that

Merge btrfs_read_adv and xfs_read_adv into a single generic function ext_read_adv and split ext_write_adv_offset out of ext_write_adv. Use those new functions in rewrite_boot_image and btrfs_install_file where it is actually hardcoded.

Calc the size of ldlinux.sys from ldlinux.bin, and check if it exceeds the limit. ldlinux.sys must fit between the bootsector and two copies of ADV whose size may vary. Thus, the size of ldlinux.sys (limit) can be at most: 65536 - 2 * ADV_SIZE - 512. Certain file systems (such as BTRFS and UFS2) will rely on ldlinux.sys being installed on the 0-64k range, thus it can't exceed the limit,

I noticed several issues when diagnosing why pxechn.c32 didn't work in 5.01-pre3. 1) pxechn.c32, prdhcp.c32 and other modules crash Syslinux and force a reboot by executing an unresolved symbols. unload_pxe(), dns_resolv() and pxe_call() are the three. "Error: An undefined symbol was referenced" 2) In past versions, I built a debug build by having "CFLAGS += -DDEBUG=1"

Matt, ADV_SIZE is currently a constant value, but it may change in the future. So it would need some care. Regards, Raphael S. Carvalho

Provide an option to default visibility to hidden except for key symbols. This option is disabled by default and will be used by x86_64 PIE support to remove errors between compilation units. The default visibility is also enabled for external symbols that are compared as they maybe equals (start/end of sections). In this case, older versions of GCC will remove the comparison if the symbols are

Hello, Happy New Year! These patches make syslinux/linux support ext2/3/4, and it doesn't require the root privilege, I'd like to add a separate e2fs/syslinux, if that is more appropriate, it should be easy to do that. I put these patches on github so that you can easily get them in case you'd like to test them. (The repo's name is sys_tmp, which avoids confusing others, I will
