infrastructure. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than what
we've been using so far. The following rules apply to this:
o BSD component names should be capitalised
o Layer names should be taken from the non-CA set for now. We
may elect to add some new BSD-specific layers later.
- Make it possible to turn off selective debugging flags or layers
by listing them in debug.acpi.layer or debug.acpi.level prefixed
with !.
- Fully implement support for avoiding nodes in the ACPI namespace.
Nodes may be listed in the debug.acpi.avoid environment variable;
these nodes and all their children will be ignored (although still
scanned over) by ACPI functions which scan the namespace. Multiple
nodes can be specified, separated by whitespace.
- Implement support for selectively disabling ACPI subsystem components
via the debug.acpi.disable environment variable. The following
components can be disabled:
o bus creation/scanning of the ACPI 'bus'
o children attachment of children to the ACPI 'bus'
o button the acpi_button control-method button driver
o ec the acpi_ec embedded-controller driver
o isa acpi replacement of PnP BIOS for ISA device discovery
o lid the control-method lid switch driver
o pci pci root-bus discovery
o processor CPU power/speed management
o thermal system temperature detection and control
o timer ACPI timecounter
Multiple components may be disabled by specifying their name(s)
separated by whitespace.
- Add support for ioctl registration. ACPI subsystem components may
register ioctl handlers with the /dev/acpi generic ioctl handler,
allowing us to avoid the need for a multitude of /dev/acpi* control
devices, etc.
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/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 have to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. 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 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.
