Bruce Evans 18d3a03e13 Backed out rev.1.49 since it had buffer overruns and only worked
accidentally.

Read buffer overruns:
The size of the target array (TSOTTA == 10) is a wrong limit to use for
scanning the source string.

Write buffer overruns:
TSOTTA is also a wrong limit to use for copying to the target buffer,
since we want to add a NUL terminator afterwards.  TSOTTA was also 1
too small for holding both the desired number of visible characters
and the NUL.

Worked accidentally:
There is error in the algorithm that tends to result in the space saved
by stripping "irq" not actually being used, but some cases worked
accidentally provided "irqN" is near the end of the source string and
"N" is only 1 digit.

Starting with 5.mumble-CURRENT, "irqN" is at the beginning of the
string on all (?) arches that have it and the accidents don't happen.
E.g. on i386's, the keyboard irq is now named
"irq1: atkbd0<bogus blank padding>" by the kernel, and this name was
converted to "1: atkb" -- not only the device number but part of the
device name has been lost --, while before 5.mumble the kernel name
was "atkbd0 irq1" and systat accidentally preserved the irq number to
give "atkbd0 1".  The ":" in the string wastes precious space, and
stripping "irq" results in descriptions starting with numbers which
makes them look too much like counts.  This commit just fixes the last
problem.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
