Marius Strobl 338199fe88 - Since critical sections no longer raise the processor interrupt level to
above what's used for fast interrupts, only interrupts with the level of
  the interrupt which led to calling intr_fast() (which is used with both
  fast and ithread interrupts) are blocked while in that function. Thus
  intr_fast() can be preempted by a fast interrupt (which are of a higher
  level than ithread interrupts) while servicing an ithread interrupt. This
  can lead to a stale pointer to the head of the active interrupt requests
  list when back in the ithread interrupt invocation of intr_fast(), in turn
  resulting in corruption of the interrupt request lists and consequently
  in a panic. Solve this be turning off interrupts in intr_fast() before
  reading the pointer to the head of the active list rather than after. [1]
- Add a KASSERT in intr_fast() which asserts that ir_func is non-zero before
  calling it. [1]
- Increment interrupt stats after calling the handlers rather than before.
  This reduces the delay until direct and fast handlers are serviced, in my
  testings by 30% on average for the direct tick interrupt handler, in turn
  resulting in less clock drift.

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.
