Use Warner Losh's "hint" driver to decode ascii strings to fill the
resource table at boot time.
config(8) no longer generates an ioconf.c table - ie: the configuration
no longer has to be compiled into the kernel. You can reconfigure your
isa devices with the likes of this at loader(8) time:
set hint.ed.0.port=0x320
userconfig will be rewritten to use this style interface one day and will
move to /boot/userconfig.4th or something like that.
It is still possible to statically compile in a set of hints into a kernel
if you do not wish to use loader(8). See the "hints" directive in GENERIC
as an example.
All device wiring has been moved out of config(8). There is a set of
helper scripts (see i386/conf/gethints.pl, and the same for alpha and pc98)
that extract the 'at isa? port foo irq bar' from the old files and produces
a hints file. If you install this file as /boot/device.hints (and update
/boot/defaults/loader.conf - You can do a build/install in sys/boot) then
loader will load it automatically for you. You can also compile in the
hints directly with: hints "device.hints" as well.
There are a few things that I'm not too happy with yet. Under this scheme,
things like LINT would no longer be useful as "documentation" of settings.
I have renamed this file to 'NOTES' and stored the example hints strings
in it. However... this is not something that config(8) understands, so
there is a script that extracts the build-specific data from the
documentation file (NOTES) to produce a LINT that can be config'ed and
built. A stack of man4 pages will need updating. :-/
Also, since there is no longer a difference between 'device' and
'pseudo-device' I collapsed the two together, and the resulting 'device'
takes a 'number of units' for devices that still have it statically
allocated. eg: 'device fe 4' will compile the fe driver with NFE set
to 4. You can then set hints for 4 units (0 - 3). Also note that
'device fe0' will be interpreted as "zero units of 'fe'" which would be
bad, so there is a config warning for this. This is only needed for
old drivers that still have static limits on numbers of units.
All the statically limited drivers that I could find were marked.
Please exercise EXTREME CAUTION when transitioning!

config(8). This commit allows control of the creation of the
#include "foo.h" files. We now only create them explicitly when needed.
BTW; these are mostly bad because they usually imply static limits on
numbers of units for devices. eg: struct mysoftc sc[NFOO];
These static limits have Got To Go.
This would mean that we could move files.alpha, files.i386, files.pc98
etc all next to conf/files, and the various Makefiles next to each
other. This should go a long way towards committers "seeing" the
Alpha etc stuff and remembering to update that too as it would be
right next to the i386 config files. Note this does not include
the GENERIC etc files as they can't be shared. I haven't actually
moved the files, but the support is here for it. It still supports
the per-machine conf directories so that folks working on a new arch
can just distribute a subdir of files.
files in a 'files.XXX' file, config allows non-FreeBSD source files
with the same name as a FreeBSD source file to override the latter,
and in this situation it issues a warning.
However, if one of the user-specified files is actually a FreeBSD
source file (perhaps your kernel has some custom option that requires
that file), config mistakenly thinks it's a completely new file
and goes ahead and overrides all previous information for that file
(and issues the warning).
Fix this.

directory than the default one. If the option is not given, then the
output of config is exactly as before. Only when an alternate output
directory has been specified will config modify its behavior.
Additional changed:
o Remove the now conflicting and unused NODEV define. It
conflicts with NODEV in sys/param.h.
o Rename the now conflicting MACHINE token to ARCH. It
conflicts with MACHINE in sys/param.h.
o Fix some easy style bugs.
o Fix some easy grammar bugs in the manpage.

- make this work: options FOO123=456 *without quotes*
- grumble (but accept) vector xxxintr, and tty/net/bio/cam flags.
- complain if a device is specified twice (eg: 2 x psm0)
- don't require quotes around: port IO_COM2
- recognize negative numbers. (ie: options CAM_DEBUG_UNIT=-1)
- GC some more unused stuff (we don't have composite disks from config(8)).
- various other nits (snprintf paranoia etc)
I zapped the MACHINE_MIPS stuff, it isn't likely to be useful apart from
recognition of the machine name. It would be reasonable to expect new
ports would look something like the alpha/i386 from a config perspective.

Modify targets for debug kernels: when -g was specified, make will
now build a debug kernel called kernel.debug, and create a stripped
version called kernel at the same time. The two targets install and
install.debug are otherwise unchanged.
Requested-by: dillon
Update man page accordingly.
2. Config complains if you use -g:
Debugging is enabled by default, there is no ned to specify the -g option
3. Config warns you if you don't use -s:
Building kernel with full debugging symbols. Do
"config -s BSD" for historic partial symbolic support.
To install the debugging kernel, do make install.debug
(BSD was the name of the config file I used; I print out the same
name).
4. Modify Makefile.i386, Makefile.alpha, Makefile.pc98 and config to
work if a kernel name other than 'kernel' is specified. This is
not absolutely necessary, but useful, and it was relatively easy.
I now have a kernel called /crapshit :-)
5. Modify Makefile.i386, Makefile.alpha, Makefile.pc98 "clean" target
to remove both the debug and normal kernel.
6. Modify all to install the stripped kernel by default and the debug
kernel if you enter "make install.debug".
7. Update version number of Makefiles and config.
define MAXUSERS in opt_param.h as directed in /sys/conf/options;
if it's not mentioned there, then define it in IDENT; never define
it in PARAM). MAXUSERS probably should be a completely normal option.
Don't define PARAM now that it is empty.
Cleaned up similar conversion of cpu directives to XXX_CPU options.
candidate for this is "npx0", more are likely to follow.
Check for pseudo-devices that are being configured, but don't appear
in any "files" file. The ``pseudo-device bpf 2'' already hit me too
often.
and the kernel will have a 'config interface version number'. If an
incompatable change is made to the kernel that requires a rebuild of
config(8) (such as the cam devtab stuff), then the version number would be
bumped in both places. If a user neglects to rebuild config, then they
will get a nagging (but non-fatal) warning that they need to rebuild
config.
version of strdup() by a macro, killed many calls to strdup(), thus
potentially wasting less malloc'ed space (their args were never be
free()ed desptie despite of being malloc'ed). Probably still a huge
memory leak at all... Also killed two totally useless variables.
I've tested it as i could, but wouldn't be surprised if unexpected
problems showed up. So watch out this space!

the profiling level in config and decide what to do in makefiles.
Makefile.i386:
Align functions to 16-byte boundaries if profiling is enabled. This
will allow a fourfold reduction in the size of the profiling buffers.
looking at a high resolution clock for each of the following events:
function call, function return, interrupt entry, interrupt exit,
and interesting branches. The differences between the times of
these events are added at appropriate places in a ordinary histogram
(as if very fast statistical profiling sampled the pc at those
places) so that ordinary gprof can be used to analyze the times.
gmon.h:
Histogram counters need to be 4 bytes for microsecond resolutions.
They will need to be larger for the 586 clock.
The comments were vax-centric and wrong even on vaxes. Does anyone
disagree?
gprof4.c:
The standard gprof should support counters of all integral sizes
and the size of the counter should be in the gmon header. This
hack will do until then. (Use gprof4 -u to examine the results
of non-statistical profiling.)
config/*:
Non-statistical profiling is configured with `config -pp'.
`config -p' still gives ordinary profiling.
kgmon/*:
Non-statistical profiling is enabled with `kgmon -B'. `kgmon -b'
still enables ordinary profiling (and distables non-statistical
profiling) if non-statistical profiling is configured.
Note that this code is dormant unless the options files exist.
Also, parsing of quoted options in the config files is improved.
What this allows, is all the options in LINT to be specified to be
configured as #defines in a file rather than on the CC command line at
kernel build time. This means that 'make depend' will catch dependencies
on actual *options*, meaning that you can run 'config' and 'make depend'
in complete safety WITHOUT removing the compile directory each time.
Unfortunately, this requires a pass over the source to get the individual
files to #include the new .h files that would be generated by config.
This has a small compile time penalty (appears up to about 2% slower)
from a "fresh" build. Of course, you should not be needing to do complete
rebuilds very often once this was completed, so it would be an overall
win for most people.
Since this code is dormant and we've got a lot of other things happening
on the kernel tree at the moment (prototypes, devfs, static declarations
etc) I am not planning on doing any changes to activate this feature just
yet.
/*
* filename [ standard | optional ] [ config-dependent ]
* [ dev* | profiling-routine ] [ device-driver] [ no-obj ]
* [ compile-with "compile rule" [no-implicit-rule] ]
* [ dependancy "dependancy-list"]
*/
I added
no-obj - This entry does not create anything linkable to the kernel.
dependancy - Add additional dependancy rules to a target.
no-implicit-rule - Don't assume .c -> .o type rules. Config is really
dumb in this area and assumes that everything is a .c file
irregarless of extention. This was the best choice really
since there may even be .c file that you don't want to follow
the standard rules.
This was all done so that the building to the aic7770 assembler and using
the aic7770 assembler in the building of the aic7770 driver could be config
dependant. I can now have an entry like this for the driver:
aic7770 optional ahc device-driver \
compile-with "${CC} $> -o $@" \
dependancy "$S/gnu/misc/aic7770/aic7770.c" \
no-obj no-implicit-rule
aic7770_seq.h optional ahc device-driver \
compile-with "${.CURDIR}/aic7770 -o $@ $S/gnu/misc/aic7770/aic7770.seq"\
dependancy "$S/gnu/misc/aic7770/aic7770.seq aic7770" \
no-obj no-implicit-rule
i386/isa/aic7770.c optional ahc device-driver \
dependancy "aic7770_seq.h"
I also added '\' escaping to newlines so that this doesn't look as gross as
it could have.
