freebsd kernel with SKQ
59f69ba49f
After disscussing things I have decided to take the easy and consistent 90% solution instead of aiming for the very involved 99% solution. If we allow forceful unmounts of DEVFS we need to decide how to handle the devices which are in use through this filesystem at the time. We cannot just readopt the open devices in the main /dev instance since that would open us to security issues. For the majority of the devices, this is relatively straightforward as we can just pretend they got revoke(2)'ed. Some devices get tricky: /dev/console and /dev/tty for instance does a sort of recursive open of the real console device. Other devices may be mmap'ed (kill the processes ?). And then there are disk devices which are mounted. The correct thing here would be to recursively unmount the filesystems mounte from devices from our DEVFS instance (forcefully) and if this succeeds, complete the forcefully unmount of DEVFS. But if one of the forceful unmounts fail we cannot complete the forceful unmount of DEVFS, but we are likely to already have severed a lot of stuff in the process of trying. Event attempting this would be a lot of code for a very far out corner-case which most people would never see or get in touch with. It's just not worth it. |

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.
