now it uses a very dumb first-touch allocation policy. This will change in the future. - Each architecture indicates the maximum number of supported memory domains via a new VM_NDOMAIN parameter in <machine/vmparam.h>. - Each cpu now has a PCPU_GET(domain) member to indicate the memory domain a CPU belongs to. Domain values are dense and numbered from 0. - When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist (VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT) is split up into N freelists, one for each domain. The MD code is required to populate an array of mem_affinity structures. Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a domain for the range. Multiple entries may be present for a single domain. The list is terminated by an entry where all fields are zero. This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that fall in VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT into per-domain freelists. - Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is used when fulfulling a physical memory allocation. Right now the per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain. In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order the per-domain lookup lists based on the penalty for each memory domain relative to a specific domain. The lookup lists may be examined via a new vm.phys.lookup_lists sysctl. - The first-touch policy is implemented by using PCPU_GET(domain) to pick a lookup list when allocating memory.

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.
