This change will let us to have full configuration of a running kernel
available in sysctl:
sysctl -b kern.conftxt
The same configuration is also contained within the kernel image. It can be
obtained with:
config -x <kernelfile>
Current functionality lets you to quickly recover kernel configuration, by
simply redirecting output from commands presented above and starting kernel
build procedure. "include" statements are also honored, which means options
and devices from included files are also included.
Please note that comments from configuration files are not preserved by
default. In order to preserve them, you can use -C flag for config(8). This
will bring configuration file and included files literally; however,
redirection to a file no longer works directly.

- The code that creates hints.c and env.c from the skeleton files
moved into separate functions.
- Sanity checks for missing "ident" and "cputype" directives moved
into main(), alongside the existing check for "machine".

much later than before, and it is now after we do a mkdir ../compile/FILE.
As a result, if you do 'config DOESNOTEXIST', it now creates the directory
../config/DOESNOTEXIST. It did not do that before. If DEFAULTS does not
exist, it still fails early before any permanent changes.
This shameless hack restores the old behavior of ensuring the config file
actually exists before mkdiring its counterpart directory.
Now I can rmdir ../compile/D and it will stay dead, after my fingers keep
sabotaging me with 'config D<tab><enter>'. (Some of my kernel names
started with D, which used to be 1-character unique and my fingers knew
this very well...)

had to bump the version because the old parser would choke on | in the new
'or' syntax and consider that a device.

Don't keep duplicate files in the files list just to
mark the device as "known" later. XXX: Since the
device list isn't unique (there can be two "device foo"
directives, as this the case with LINT+DEFAULTS), we
have to traverse it all to mark all copies of the same
device as "used", but this is not worse than it was.
Clarify that it is not like the shlib versions, and not like param.h's
__FreeBSD_version/osreldate either.
When config(8) was actively changing a while back, the interface between
config and the build system (eg: /sys/conf/files.* and Makefile.*) was
changing rapidly. configvers is a version number of that interface.
User specified config files do not have a version number. The decision
about whether a user supplied config file is syntactically valid or not
belongs to the parser and sanity checks, not an arbitary number.
directory before the specified config file. This is implemented by
opening DEFAULTS as stdin if it exists, and if so resetting stdin to the
actual config file when DEFAULTS is fully parsed via yywrap(). In short,
this lets us create DEFAULTS kernel configs in /sys/<arch>/conf that can
enable certain options or devices by default and allow users to disable
them via 'nooptions' or 'nodevice' rather than having to create kludge
NO_FOO options.

allows us to specify the machine_arch as well as machine. If
specified then a second link will be made, similar to machine, from
$MACHINE_ARCH to $S/$MACHINE_ARCH/include.
This is for ports where MACHINE != MACHINE_ARCH (pc98 today, others in
the future?).

Bump configvers.h from 500013 to 600000.
Remove heuristics that tried to parse "device ed5" as 5 units of the ed
device. This broke things like the snd_emu10k1 device, which required
quotes to make it parse right. The no-longer-needed quotes have been
removed from NOTES, GENERIC etc. eg, I've removed the quotes from:
device snd_maestro
device "snd_maestro3"
device snd_mss
I believe everything will still compile and work after this.

early and the parser was expecting a SEMICOLON in the included file
instead of after the filename in the include directive.

from .c files. Actually, this is overkill, as the .ln file targets
are assumed from .? (any) files. This is not a problem in practice,
merely a bit untidy, as the linting rules DTRT. See the sys/conf/*
and sys/mk/* files for usage.
and due to buffering they would sometimes come out after the actual
error message when mkheaders() failed due to an unknown device, so you'd
get an error messages followed by 20 or 30 lines of harmless warnings.
There are lots of other warning messages in config(8) that are printed
on stdout, but these were the most egregious (at least with LINT).
Fixed memory leak in the "nodevice" option implementation.
Use these instead of sed(1) in MD NOTES.
Use a single makefile (sys/conf/makeLINT.mk) to generate
LINT for all architectures. (Previous versions missed
the LINT dependency on Makefile, and i386 version also
missed the dependency on ${NOTES}.)
Fixed bugs in the previous NOTES conversion using the
"nodevice" token and sed(1):
- i386 LINT lost "device pst".
- pc98 LINT lost SC_*, MAXCONS and KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOAD
options, and got needless DPT_* options.
- Added nooptions PPC_DEBUG, PPC_PROBE_CHIPSET, KBD_INSTALL_CDEV
to sparc64 LINT so that it has a chance to config(8).
This basically returns us to where we were before.
(PROFLEVEL) to kern.pre.mk so that it is easier to manage. Bumped config
version to match.
Moved the check for cputype being configured to a less bogus place in
mkmakefile.c.
It doesn't actually do it yet though. This adds a flag to config so
that we can exclude certain vendor files from this even when the rest
of the kernel has it on. make -DNO_WERROR would also bypass all of it.

to be included into this one. This works the same way as #include
does in C; as far as the user is concerned, the included file is
inlined into the current one.
Since config(8) is no longer limited to working on one user-supplied
file, printing just a line number in an error message is not
sufficient. The new global variable yyfile represents the file
currently being parsed, and must be printed as well.
