at runtime and to support distributing additional kernels: o remove kernel from the base tarball o add new kernel tarballs o build + package both SMP and GENERIC kernels when an <arch>/conf/SMP config file is present o add sysinstall support for multiple kernels o update sysinstall to probe for the number of cpus on a system and auto-select smp/up kernel accordingly o add a post-kernels install hook to fixup /boot/kernel o add -ldevinfo to boot crunch for sysinstall's cpu probing logic Notes: 1. On HEAD this code is not currently used because GENERIC kernels include SMP. This work is mainly intended for RELENG_6 where the GENERIC kernel is UP. If HEAD changes to match then just enable WITH_SMP in sysinstall/Makefile. 2. The cpu probing support is done with acpi and MPTable; this means some systems will require work for auto-detection to work. 3. The handling of /boot/kernel may need to be revisited; for now we rename one kernel at the last moment (SMP if installed, otherwise GENERIC). There are other, possibly better, approaches. Lots of help from ru, emaste, scottl, and jhb. |
