Alan Cox c70af4875e As of r257209, all architectures have defined VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE. In other
words, every architecture is now auto-sizing the kmem arena.  This revision
changes kmeminit() so that the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE becomes
mandatory and the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE becomes optional.

Replace or eliminate all existing definitions of VM_KMEM_SIZE.  With
auto-sizing enabled, VM_KMEM_SIZE effectively became an alternate spelling
for VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN on most architectures.  Use VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN for
clarity.

Change kmeminit() so that the effect of defining VM_KMEM_SIZE is similar to
that of setting the tunable vm.kmem_size.  Whereas the macros
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} have had the same effect as the tunables
vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, the effects of VM_KMEM_SIZE and vm.kmem_size
have been distinct.  In particular, whereas VM_KMEM_SIZE was overridden by
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} and vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, vm.kmem_size
was not.  Remedy this inconsistency.  Now, VM_KMEM_SIZE can be used to set
the size of the kmem arena at compile-time without that value being
overridden by auto-sizing.

Update the nearby comments to reflect the kmem submap being replaced by the
kmem arena.  Stop duplicating the auto-sizing formula in every machine-
dependent vmparam.h and place it in kmeminit() where auto-sizing takes
place.

UPDATING Subsume the functionality of MK_ATF into MK_TESTS. 2013-11-08 14:24:47 +00:00

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.
