commit d0c7d235c09fc65dbdb278e7016a96f79c6a49cc
Make the Altera JTAG UART device driver slightly more forgiving of
the foibles of a sub-par hrdware interface by increasing the timeout
for spotting JTAG polling from one to two seconds.
commit 19ed45a18832560dab967c179d83b71081c3a220
Update comment.
commit 8edfe803f033cc8e33229f99894c2b7496a44d5f
Add a comment about a device-driver race condition that could cause the BERI
pipeline to wedge awaiting JTAG in the event that both the low-level console
and the tty layer decide to write to the JTAG FIFO just before JTAG is
disconnected. Resolving this race is a bit tricky as it looks like there
isn't a way to 'give the character back' to the tty layer when we discover
the race. The easy fix is to drop the character, which we don't yet do, but
perhaps should as that is a better outcome than wedging the pipeline.
commit 2ea26cf579c9defcf31e413e7c9b0fbc159237fc
Add a comment about an inherent race with hardware in the Altera JTAG
UART's low-level console code.

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 ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: 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, 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.
