systems. Of note: - Implement a direct mapped region using 2MB pages. This eliminates the need for temporary mappings when getting ptes. This supports up to 512GB of physical memory for now. This should be enough for a while. - Implement a 4-tier page table system. Most of the infrastructure is there for 128TB of userland virtual address space, but only 512GB is presently enabled due to a mystery bug somewhere. The design of this was heavily inspired by the alpha pmap.c. - The kernel is moved into the negative address space(!). - The kernel has 2GB of KVM available. - Provide a uma memory allocator to use the direct map region to take advantage of the 2MB TLBs. - Fixed some assumptions in the bus_space macros about the ability to fit virtual addresses in an 'int'. Notable missing things: - pmap_growkernel() should be able to grow to 512GB of KVM by expanding downwards below kernbase. The kernel must be at the top 2GB of the negative address space because of gcc code generation strategies. - need to fix the >512GB user vm code. Approved by: re (blanket)
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 ``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.
