peripheral drivers can determine where in the devstat(9) list they are inserted. This requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, vmstat, rpc.rstatd, and any ports that depend on the devstat code, since the size of the devstat structure has changed. The devstat version number has been incremented as well to reflect the change. This sorts devices in the devstat list in "more interesting" to "less interesting" order. So, for instance, da devices are now more important than floppy drives, and so will appear before floppy drives in the default output from systat, iostat, vmstat, etc. The order of devices is, for now, kept in a central table in devicestat.h. If individual drivers were able to make a meaningful decision on what priority they should be at attach time, we could consider splitting the priority information out into the various drivers. For now, though, they have no way of knowing that, so it's easier to put them in an easy to find table. Also, move the checkversion() call in vmstat(8) to a more logical place. Thanks to Bruce and David O'Brien for suggestions, for reviewing this, and for putting up with the long time it has taken me to commit it. Bruce did object somewhat to the central priority table (he would rather the priorities be distributed in each driver), so his objection is duly noted here. Reviewed by: bde, obrien
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.13 1998/09/13 09:38:34 markm Exp $ 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 and the contents of /etc. 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 with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/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 LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
