objcopy bug is now solved and I can't remember how this used to work anyway.
Use strip instead.
If you need to debug freeldr
- set SEPARATE_DBG cmake var to TRUE
- use qemu GDB stub
- In GDB : add-symbol-file <build_dir>/symbols/freeldr_pe.exe
This splits MM_MAX_PAGE into the maximum addressable PFN (which is 2^20-1 on x86, 2^26-1 on x86PAE and 2^36-1 on x64) and the maximum mapped/accessible virtual memory MM_MAX_PAGE_LOADER (which is 4 GB on x86, since paging is disabled, but only 1 GB on x64, since only that much is identity-mapped).
This fixes the recursion when pci.sys attempts to get PCI bridge children
devices, which in fact are non-existing.
Note that the problem in pci.sys itself also deserves a separate fix.

We can already restart reading the whole file if seeking backward,
and there is currently no more use case of backward seek.
By doing so, we gain 1MB of memory when using PXE.
at runtime from the boot selection menu or from FREELDR.INI.

For a proper override of the options by new user options, specify the
/SIFOPTIONSOVERRIDE switch in addition. Otherwise, user options are
merged with those retrieved from TXTSETUP.SIF, with priority given to
the former ones.
- Update the documentation for the 'ReactOSSetup' OS type in the
FREELDR.INI file template.
- Use a different prompt in the custom boot options editor for the
'ReactOSSetup' OS type, with adequate explanation.
- Get rid of the ReactOS-specific TXTSETUP.SIF 'DbgOsLoadOptions' value,
and use instead the Windows-compatible 'SetupDebugOptions' value that
is added to the other load options when debugging is to be enabled.
- Introduce a set of NtLdrGet(Next)Option(Ex) helpers that allow
retrieving respectively, the "next" option in an options string,
and retrieving a given named option in such an options string,
by correctly parsing that string.
Valid syntaxes:
/OPTION1 /OPTION2/OPTION3 OPTION4 /OPTION5(=...) ...
Options separators are slashes, or whitespace (space, tab), mandatory
if no slash is used, and otherwise optional.
- Use these functions wherever NT load options are being parsed.
- Simplify the parsing of /DEBUGPORT=... using these functions.
- When parsing the /HAL=... or /KERNEL=... options, only the first
encountered one is taken into account, any other ones are discarded.
- When parsing the other load options, only their first occurrences are
taken into account, any other repetitions are discarded.
* The NOPAE option overrides any previous PAE option.
* Any NOEXECUTE(=) option should override any previous
NOEXECUTE=ALWAYSOFF (or equivalently, EXECUTE) option.
This parameter is not needed since it's possible to determine, from
within this function, whether or not we are in Setup mode, by just
looking for the presence of a non NULL LoaderBlock->SetupLdrBlock.
At line 263 a 'pop es' is missing before 'ret' in ReadCHS() function,

Also turn off debug messages to screen before setting up the CPU (To print a character to the screen on some ports the MMIO access should be executed, so it throws an exception).

This prevents ReactOS asserting when 'My computer'
is opened, while it tries to send commands to floppy drive.
Many thanks to patches author Doug Lyons.
The regression was introduced by 0.4.13-dev-1081-g
eeff926ede
patch was committed to 0.4.13rls and 0.4.14rls as well.
Today it was committed to master as well, as
the initially planned investigation for the root cause
did still not happen and we can not afford the time
to retest and workaround this over and over again.
Thank god that Oleg Dubinskiy was still around to retest
this again and confirmed it can still happen, because
unlike initially, personally I was not able to reproduce it
today anymore!
Since every release was work-arounded, we did never
expose the bug in any final release.
According to PC-9801 Bible p. 50, divisor for PIT will become unsupported in some cases after having removed the fractional part. Replace 19200 value with 9600 which is supported by both 10 MHz and 8 MHz machines.
Remove RTC switch from configure.cmd, now MSVC runtime checks are
supposed to be enabled/disabled via CMake define (-DRUNTIME_CHECKS=1)
Prepare for adding more dynamic analysis options
which implements the required functionality.
ntdll and ntoskrnl now have a wrapper for this, with SEH.
This protects the function against malformed / bad images,
whilst still being able to use the code in freeldr et al.
Idea from Thomas.
CORE-14857
- Add missing allocation check in DetectApmBios()
- Check 'PM' signature in FindApmBios()
- Properly set machine type in hardware detection
- Set Component->Key value for hard drives
- Get rid of the unused XboxBeep()
- Cast Xbox LPC I/O ports to PUCHAR
- Improve shadow rendering with VGA font
- Include ntoskrnl.h in the proper order
- Add ARC-emulation support for NEC PC-98 series
- Add global definition for PC-98 port into CMakeLists.txt
- Add floppy verison of freeldr.ini for PC-98 CD boot
- Remove now unused i386rtl.c (and it doesn't contains RTL functions nowadays).
- Separate PC beep routines out into its own file.
- Also use delay function instead of BIOS interrupts.
- Improve as well the accuracy of KeStallExecutionProcessor() by using the same HW delay function.
- Changes in device detection code:
* Properly check device signature.
* Сorrectly reset the IDE controller.
* Remove check for device type code.
- Fix CD-ROM sector read issue:
* Changed ATAPI packet opcode to be more universal (Some devices may not have READ12 support).
* Always use 2048 bytes as sector size when reading the data from a disc.
* Modify WaitForFlags() to stop polling if the error bit was set.
* Changed timeout to 31 seconds (ATA default value).
- Add more informational messages in DEBUG mode.
- Fix invalid IDE register value.
- Fix registers names.

hardware MS Xbox revision 1.3 with Philips DVD drive.
It has also been tested manually on PC with a SONY DVD drive.

The first part of PC-98 Port - https://reactos.org/wiki/PC-98
- Add FAT12 file system boot sector for NEC PC-98 series.
- Add a new build target for a PC-98 bootable floppy disk.
- Add a new sub-architecture into config.cmake.
* [FREELDR] Cache the drive geometry in the PcDiskReadLogicalSectorsCHS()
Speed up the loading time a bit.
* [FREELDR] Generalize the cache to all the geometry data + INT 13h extensions-supported status.
The data structure used is "PC_DISK_DRIVE".
- Adapt the associated functions;
- Make DiskGetExtendedDriveParameters() private to pcdisk.c
- Introduce PcDiskDriveNumberToDrive(), that is similar to the XBOX
function XboxDiskDriveNumberToDeviceUnit(), that retrieves a valid
pointer to the cached disk corresponding to the given BIOS DriveNumber.
If needed the cached data gets initialized.
- Make XboxDiskDriveNumberToDeviceUnit() simpler by just returning the
pointer to the corresponding drive, of NULL if there is none.

Triggered by a fix attempt by M.Harmstone in PR #1905.
- Introduce #defines and helper functions so as to initialize the
descriptors in a human-readable and tractable way, without magic values.
- Rework some comments.
- Document what the changes are in (Longhorn and) Vista+.
Data has been obtained through using the WinDbg command: dg 0x00 0xFF
(for example), that lists all the selectors from 0x00 to 0xFF included.
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/dg--display-selector-
for more details.
- Implement support for the "RDIMAGELENGTH" and "RDIMAGEOFFSET" boot
options. Fixes CORE-15432.
- Separate the initialization of the global gInitRamDiskBase /
gInitRamDiskSize variables from the FreeLdr command-line, and the
actual initialization of the internal variables of the RamDisk.
The latter are initialized via calls to RamDiskInitialize().
- Implement 'SeekRelative' mode in RamDiskSeek().
- Make RamDiskLoadVirtualFile() internal function that gets called by
RamDiskInitialize(), and we use the latter in the NT loader instead.
