- Unify bus reset/probe sequence. Whenever bus attached at boot or later, CAM will automatically reset and scan it. It allows to remove duplicate code from many drivers. - Any bus, attached before CAM completed it's boot-time initialization, will equally join to the process, delaying boot if needed. - New kern.cam.boot_delay loader tunable should help controllers that are still unable to register their buses in time (such as slow USB/ PCCard/ CardBus devices), by adding one more event to wait on boot. - To allow synchronization between different CAM levels, concept of requests priorities was extended. Priorities now split between several "run levels". Device can be freezed at specified level, allowing higher priority requests to pass. For example, no payload requests allowed, until PMP driver enable port. ATA XPT negotiate transfer parameters, periph driver configure caching and so on. - Frozen requests are no more counted by request allocation scheduler. It fixes deadlocks, when frozen low priority payload requests occupying slots, required by higher levels to manage theit execution. - Two last changes were holding proper ATA reinitialization and error recovery implementation. Now it is done: SATA controllers and Port Multipliers now implement automatic hot-plug and should correctly recover from timeouts and bus resets. - Improve SCSI error recovery for devices on buses without automatic sense reporting, such as ATAPI or USB. For example, it allows CAM to wait, while CD drive loads disk, instead of immediately return error status. - Decapitalize diagnostic messages and make them more readable and sensible. - Teach PMP driver to limit maximum speed on fan-out ports. - Make boot wait for PMP scan completes, and make rescan more reliable. - Fix pass driver, to return CCB to user level in case of error. - Increase number of retries in cd driver, as device may return several UAs. |

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.
