Brooks Davis 54404cfb13 In preparation for raising NGROUPS and NGROUPS_MAX, change base
system callers of getgroups(), getgrouplist(), and setgroups() to
allocate buffers dynamically.  Specifically, allocate a buffer of size
sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX)+1 (+2 in a few cases to allow for overflow).

This (or similar gymnastics) is required for the code to actually follow
the POSIX.1-2008 specification where {NGROUPS_MAX} may differ at runtime
and where getgroups may return {NGROUPS_MAX}+1 results on systems like
FreeBSD which include the primary group.

In id(1), don't pointlessly add the primary group to the list of all
groups, it is always the first result from getgroups().  In principle
the old code was more portable, but this was only done in one of the two
places where getgroups() was called to the overall effect was pointless.

Document the actual POSIX requirements in the getgroups(2) and
setgroups(2) manpages.  We do not yet support a dynamic NGROUPS, but we
may in the future.

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 ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
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, 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.
