!! Owners of EISA-equipped Alpha machines are requested to at least
!! boot-test a 6-BETA build and report back to the Alpha list. Thanks!

This kernel config briefly describes some of the major MAC policies
available on FreeBSD. The hope is that this will raise the awareness
about MAC and get more people interested.

FreeBSD based on aue(4) it was picked by OpenBSD, then from OpenBSD ported
to NetBSD and finally NetBSD version merged with original one goes into
FreeBSD.

This is mentioned in the Handbook but it is not as obvious to new
users why bpf is needed compared to the other largely self-explanatory
items in GENERIC.

compile option. All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.
If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over. This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.
Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.
their own directory and module, leaving the MD parts in the MD
area (the MD parts _are_ part of the modules). /dev/mem and /dev/io
are now loadable modules, thus taking us one step further towards
a kernel created entirely out of modules. Of course, there is nothing
preventing the kernel from having these statically compiled.
it's in the way even more. Basicly: remove all alpha specific console
support from gfb(4), sio(4) and syscons(4). Rewrite the alpha console
initialization to be identical to all other platforms. In a nutshell:
call cninit().
The platform specific code now only sets or clears RB_SERIAL and thus
automaticly causes the right console to be selected.
sio.c:
o Replace the remote GDB hacks and use the GDB debug port interface
instead.
o Make debugging code conditional upon KDB instead of DDB.
o Call kdb_alt_break() instead of db_alt_break().
o Call kdb_enter() instead of breakpoint().
o Remove the ugly compatibility of using the console as the debug
port.
of "dumb" PCI-based serial/parallel boards get a hint how to enable

I wasn't sure about the ia64, pc98, powerpc, and sparc64 archs whether
they'd support puc(4) or not.
Without this option it is not possible to omit the driver from the
configuration file and successfully build a kernel.
This option is specific to alpha.
ethernet controller. The driver has been tested with the LinkSys
USB200M adapter. I know for a fact that there are other devices out
there with this chip but don't have all the USB vendor/device IDs.
Note: I'm not sure if this will force the driver to end up in the
install kernel image or not. Special magic needs to be done to exclude
it to keep the boot floppies from bloating again, someone please
advise.
Fixed memory leak in the "nodevice" option implementation.
Use these instead of sed(1) in MD NOTES.
Use a single makefile (sys/conf/makeLINT.mk) to generate
LINT for all architectures. (Previous versions missed
the LINT dependency on Makefile, and i386 version also
missed the dependency on ${NOTES}.)
Fixed bugs in the previous NOTES conversion using the
"nodevice" token and sed(1):
- i386 LINT lost "device pst".
- pc98 LINT lost SC_*, MAXCONS and KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOAD
options, and got needless DPT_* options.
- Added nooptions PPC_DEBUG, PPC_PROBE_CHIPSET, KBD_INSTALL_CDEV
to sparc64 LINT so that it has a chance to config(8).
This basically returns us to where we were before.
time and there's no indication that it will improve anytime soon.
By removing support for SimOS it is possible to build LINT on
Alpha, which is considered more important at the moment.
