freebsd kernel with SKQ

maintainers. After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF section. With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only looks at the EI_OSABI header field. Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for Linux static binaries branded in our old method. * * For a short period of time, ``ld'' will also brand ELF binaries * using our old method. This is so people can still use kernel.old * with a new world. This support will be removed before 5.0-RELEASE, * and may not last anywhere upto the actual release. My expiration * time for this is about 6mo. * |

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 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).
