One of the pieces of code that I had left alone during the development of the MPSAFE TTY layer, was tty_cons.c. This file actually has two different functions: - It contains low-level console input/output routines (cnputc(), etc). - It creates /dev/console and wraps all its cdevsw calls to the appropriate TTY. This commit reimplements the second set of functions by moving it directly into the TTY layer. /dev/console is now a character device node that's basically a regular TTY, but does a lookup of `si_drv1' each time you open it. d_write has also been changed to call log_console(). d_close() is not present, because we must make sure we don't revoke the TTY after writing a log message to it. Even though I'm not convinced this is in line with the future directions of our console code, it is a good move for now. It removes recursive locking from the top half of the TTY layer. The previous implementation called into the TTY layer with Giant held. I'm renaming tty_cons.c to kern_cons.c now. The code hardly contains any TTY related bits, so we'd better give it a less misleading name.

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.
