If a peripheral driver (e.g. da, sa, cd) is added or removed from the
peripheral driver list while an unrelated peripheral driver instance (e.g.
da0, sa5, cd2) is going away and is inside camperiphfree(), we could
dereference an invalid pointer.
When peripheral drivers are added or removed (see periphdriver_register()
and periphdriver_unregister()), the peripheral driver array is resized
and existing entries are moved.
Although we hold the topology lock while we traverse the peripheral driver
list, we retain a pointer to the location of the peripheral driver pointer
and then drop the topology lock. So we are still vulnerable to the list
getting moved around while the lock is dropped.
To solve the problem, cache a copy of the peripheral driver pointer. If
its storage location in the list changes while we have the lock dropped, it
won't have any effect.
This doesn't solve the issue that peripheral drivers ("da", "cd", as opposed
to individual instances like "da0", "cd0") are not generally part of a
reference counting scheme to guard against deregistering them while there
are instances active. The caller (generally the person unloading a module)
has to be aware of active drivers and not unload something that is in use.
sys/cam/cam_periph.c:
In camperiphfree(), cache a pointer to the peripheral driver
instance to avoid holding a pointer to an invalid memory location
in the event that the peripheral driver list changes while we have
the topology lock dropped.

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and 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. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information.
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 kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
