- symbol_values checks that the symbol is indeed belonging to the correct symbol and string table pairs before looking up. (since there could be many pairs, and KLD/DDB need to find out). - different ops for files versus preload modules - the unload mechanism is different. (a preloaded module has to be deleted on unload since the in-core image is tainted by relocation and variables used) - Do not build an a.out kernel module if we're running on an elf kernel. :-) Note that it should theoretically be possible to mix a.out and elf KLD modules providing -mno-underscores was used to compile it, or some other symbol conversion takes place. - Support preload modules (even though /boot/loader doesn't yet) - Search the module path when loading files.
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.12 1998/06/30 08:08:05 jkh 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).
