Add support for "interrupt driven configuration hooks". A component of the kernel can register a hook, most likely during auto-configuration, and receive a callback once interrupt services are available. This callback will occur before the root and dump devices are configured, so the configuration task can affect the selection of those two devices or complete any tasks that need to be performed prior to launching init. System boot is posponed so long as a hook is registered. The hook owner is responsible for removing the hook once their task is complete or the system boot can continue. kern_acct.c kern_clock.c kern_exit.c kern_synch.c kern_time.c: Change the interface and implementation for the kernel callout service. The new implemntaion is based on the work of Adam M. Costello and George Varghese, published in a technical report entitled "Redesigning the BSD Callout and Timer Facilities". The interface used in FreeBSD is a little different than the one outlined in the paper. The new function prototypes are: struct callout_handle timeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg, int ticks); void untimeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg, struct callout_handle handle); If a client wishes to remove a timeout, it must store the callout_handle returned by timeout and pass it to untimeout. The new implementation gives 0(1) insert and removal of callouts making this interface scale well even for applications that keep 100s of callouts outstanding. See the updated timeout.9 man page for more details. |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.10 1997/02/23 09:18:39 peter Exp $ 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 and the contents of /etc. 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 with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/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 LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
