improved modularity and extensibility.
In the new architecture, a directed graph of argument-matching
objects (match objects) expresses the set of feasible ifconfig
statements. Match objects are labelled by subroutines that provide
the statement semantics.
Many IPv4, IPv6, 802.11, tunnel, and media configurations have been
tested.
AppleTalk, ISO, carp(4), agr(4), and vlan(4) configuration need
testing.
test module after the introduction of bsd.kmodule.mk. The files list was
inconsistent with the new module structure and the Makefile did not use the
correct variable to specify the installation of the module. Hi ad@!
made in series, even if make's "-j" flag requests multiple parallel
jobs. This is useful on systems that exhibit poor performance when
running multiple parallel disk-intensive operations. The default is
MAKETARS_SERIAL=NO, which will obey the "-j" flag passed to the make
command.
Requested in tech-toolchain. Reverts the change made in revision 1.56.
aps(4), finsio(4), itesio(4), nsclpcsio(4), smsc(4) and ug(4).
These drivers aren't enabled in GENERIC kernels, so having the LKMs
in base will simplify future testing.
already put dmesg on there, and the prep install kernels don't have KERNFS
defined anyhow. A quick test shows it's cheaper to use dmesg than kernfs:
1528511 +kernfs +mount_kernfs -dmesg
1524332 +dmesg -kernfs -mount_kernfs
- Make MULTIPROCESSOR mandatory on i386.
Installation changes:
- Update installation section of release notes to match reality.
- Rename INSTALL to INSTALL_FLOPPY, retire INSTALL_LARGE.
- Build INSTALL kernel from GENERIC, like on amd64.
- Update boot menu to allow disabling ACPI and/or SMP.
- Remove GENERIC.NOACPI from the installed kernel list.
- TODO: install default boot.cfg in etc.tgz.
- TODO: possibly enable PCI fixup stuff at runtime if ACPI is disabled.
Build changes:
- No longer build ALL, it's for verification, is slow to build and the
build process is already crippled by the number of kernels built.
- No longer build GENERIC.NOACPI.
