freebsd kernel with SKQ
a231723cc0
The current Xen console driver is crashing very quickly when using it on an ARM guest. This is because the console lock is recursive and it may lead to recursion on the tty lock and/or corrupt the ring pointer. Furthermore, the console lock is not always taken where it should be and has to be released too early because of the way the console has been designed. Over the years, code has been modified to support various new features but the driver has not been reworked. This new driver has been rewritten with the idea of only having a small set of specific function to write either via the shared ring or the hypercall interface. Note that HVM support has been left aside for now because it requires additional features which are not yet supported. A follow-up patch will be sent with HVM guest support. List of items that may be good to have but not mandatory: - Avoid to flush for each character written when using the tty - Support multiple consoles Submitted by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@citrix.com> Reviewed by: royger Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D3698 Sponsored by: Citrix Systems R&D |

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. See build(7) and 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. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. 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 kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
