tsar_boot:

  • Important optimization in the reset_elf_loader function.
  • Implementation of pread function which uses bytes addressing to read disk.
  • pread function alternates between direct tranfer from disk to memory and from disk to a memory cache block based on alignment of byte address, i.e., when file offset is aligned to disk block (512 bytes), pread uses DMA capacity of disk to transfer directly to memory, otherwise it passes before by a memory cache block and then performs a memcpy to transfer data to final destination.
  • the cache block used by pread function, allows to treat succeeding reads on the same block without accessing the disk.

[292]8 * ELF program segments in the appropriate memory address using as information
[586]9 * the virtual address read from the .elf file.
