17eea9f933 Fix bug with >256 cylinders.
Allow our functions to return a non-zero, non-error status (since the
INT 13 Extensions Check has to return the API version in the register
that is otherwise always used for the error code).

Report a non-zero API version from the INT 13 Extensions Check; GRUB
now uses extended reads.

89da833c5d init_librm() and prot_call() are now real-mode far calls.
install() now calls relocate(), moves the protected-mode code to the new
location, and calls hide_etherboot().

595f161b51 Updated to REAL_CODE().
int13_boot() now does its own segment register save and restore, ready
for the removal of segment register restoration from the libkir
generic code.

ca2519cea3 Refactored to reduce code size; now down from 1304 to 1105 bytes.
Tidied up debug messages; the log now contains one line per INT 13
operation, looking like

 INT 13,08 (80): Get drive parameters
 INT 13,02 (80): Read: C/H/S 0/47/14 = LBA 0xb9e <-> 1084:0000 (count 106)

d48d0fb1bb Add the concept of a "user pointer" (similar to the void __user * in
the kernel), which encapsulates the information needed to refer to an
external buffer.  Under normal operation, this can just be a void *
equivalent, but under -DKEEP_IT_REAL it would be a segoff_t equivalent.

Use this concept to avoid the need for bounce buffers in int13.c,
which reduces memory usage and opens up the possibility of using
multi-sector reads.

Extend the block-device API and the SCSI block device implementation
to support multi-sector reads.

Update iscsi.c to use user buffers.

Move the obsolete portions of realmode.h to old_realmode.h.

MS-DOS now boots an order of magnitude faster over iSCSI (~10 seconds
from power-up to C:> prompt in bochs).

295e11b2b0 Add INT 13,41 (extensions installation check). LILO's MBR now uses
linear calls to load the MS-DOS boot sector in my test setup.

6e42cb95bd Also capture INT 19 as a failure path, to allow for boot sectors that
don't conform to BBS (e.g. the one created by mkdosfs).

4435667a00 Add int13_boot(), to allow booting from INT 13 emulated drives. 2006-05-14 13:44:47 +00:00

d2c22ec9bb Add INT 13 emulation layer (which provides an interface to gPXE block
devices).
