a heavily stripped down FreeBSD/i386 (brutally stripped down actually) to attempt to get a stable base to start from. There is a lot missing still. Worth noting: - The kernel runs at 1GB in order to cheat with the pmap code. pmap uses a variation of the PAE code in order to avoid having to worry about 4 levels of page tables yet. - It boots in 64 bit "long mode" with a tiny trampoline embedded in the i386 loader. This simplifies locore.s greatly. - There are still quite a few fragments of i386-specific code that have not been translated yet, and some that I cheated and wrote dumb C versions of (bcopy etc). - It has both int 0x80 for syscalls (but using registers for argument passing, as is native on the amd64 ABI), and the 'syscall' instruction for syscalls. int 0x80 preserves all registers, 'syscall' does not. - I have tried to minimize looking at the NetBSD code, except in a couple of places (eg: to find which register they use to replace the trashed %rcx register in the syscall instruction). As a result, there is not a lot of similarity. I did look at NetBSD a few times while debugging to get some ideas about what I might have done wrong in my first attempt.
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 ``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.
