A sysctl can have a custom handler that may access data that is initialized via SYSINIT(9) or via a module event handler (also invoked via SYSINIT). Thus, it is not safe to allow access to the module's sysctl-s until the initialization is performed. Likewise, we should not allow access to teh sysctl-s after the module is uninitialized. The latter is easy to achieve by properly ordering linker_file_unregister_sysctls and linker_file_sysuninit. The former is not as easy for two reasons: - the initialization may depend on tunables which get set when sysctl-s are registered, so we need to set the tunables before running sysinit-s - the initialization may try to dynamically add more sysctl-s under statically defined sysctl nodes So, this change splits the sysctl setup into two phases. In the first phase the sysctl-s are registered as before but they are disabled and hidden from consumers. In the second phase, done after sysinit-s, normal access to the sysctl-s is enabled. The change should affect only dynamic module loading and unloading after the system boot-up. Nothing changes for sysctl-s compiled into the kernel and sysctl-s in preloaded modules.

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. 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.
