freebsd kernel with SKQ
Go to file
bde cfb07f1e1b Fixed interrupt unmasking for child processes which I broke in
rev.1.10 two years ago.  Children continued to run at splhigh()
after returning from vm_fork().  This mainly affected kernel
processes and init.  For ordinary processes, interrupts are normally
unmasked a few instructions later after fork() returns (it may be
important for syscall() not to reschedule the child processes).
Kernel processes had workarounds for the problem.  Init manages to
start because some routines "know" that it is safe to go to sleep
despite their caller starting them at a high ipl.  Then its ipl
gets fixed on its first normal return from a syscall.

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.  Please see the top of the Makefile 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).
