freebsd kernel with SKQ
aff66c5455
than a review, this was a nice puzzle. This is supposed to be binary and source compatible with older applications that access the old FreeBSD-style three arguments to a signal handler. Except those applications that access hidden signal handler arguments bejond the documented third one. If you have applications that do, please let me know so that we take the opportunity to provide the functionality they need in a documented manner. Also except application that use 'struct sigframe' directly. You need to recompile gdb and doscmd. `make world` is recommended. Example program that demonstrates how SA_SIGINFO and old-style FreeBSD handlers (with their three args) may be used in the same process is at http://www3.cons.org/tmp/fbsd-siginfo.c Programs that use the old FreeBSD-style three arguments are easy to change to SA_SIGINFO (although they don't need to, since the old style will still work): Old args to signal handler: void handler_sn(int sig, int code, struct sigcontext *scp) New args: void handler_si(int sig, siginfo_t *si, void *third) where: old:code == new:second->si_code old:scp == &(new:si->si_scp) /* Passed by value! */ The latter is also pointed to by new:third, but accessing via si->si_scp is preferred because it is type-save. FreeBSD implementation notes: - This is just the framework to make the interface POSIX compatible. For now, no additional functionality is provided. This is supposed to happen now, starting with floating point values. - We don't use 'sigcontext_t.si_value' for now (POSIX meant it for realtime-related values). - Documentation will be updated when new functionality is added and the exact arguments passed are determined. The comments in sys/signal.h are meant to be useful. Reviewed by: BDE |

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.13 1998/09/13 09:38:34 markm Exp $ 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 and the contents of /etc. 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 with config(8) 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. 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 LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
