Mark Johnston 22e406c80b Rework and simplify the ksyms(4) implementation.
- Store the symbol table contents in an anonymous swap-backed object. Have
  mmap(/dev/ksyms) map that object, and stop mapping the symbol table into
  the calling process in ksyms_open(). Previously we would cache a pointer
  to the pmap of the opening process, and mmap(/dev/ksyms) would create a
  mapping using the physical address found by a pmap lookup at the initial
  mapping address. However, this assumes that the cached pmap is valid,
  which may not be the case. [1]
- Remove the ksyms ioctl interface. It appears to have been added to work
  around a limitation in libelf that no longer exists; see r321842.
  Moreover, the interface is difficult to support and isn't present in
  illumos. Since ksyms was added specifically to support lockstat(1), it
  is expected that this removal won't have any real impact.
- Simplify ksyms_read() to avoid unnecessary copying.
- Don't call the device handle destructor if we fail to capture a snapshot
  of the kernel's symbol table. devfs will do that for us.

FreeBSD Source:

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. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

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. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.

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 kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
