# 232619 06-Mar-2012 attilio

Disable the option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE by default on all the supported
platforms.
This will make every attempt to mount a non-mpsafe filesystem to the
kernel forbidden, unless it is expressely compiled with
VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE option.

This patch is part of the effort of killing non-MPSAFE filesystems
from the tree.

No MFC is expected for this patch.


# 227333 08-Nov-2011 attilio

Introduce the option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE and turn it on by default on
all the architectures.
The option allows to mount non-MPSAFE filesystem. Without it, the
kernel will refuse to mount a non-MPSAFE filesytem.

This patch is part of the effort of killing non-MPSAFE filesystems
from the tree.

No MFC is expected for this patch.

# 224185 18-Jul-2011 jhb

Enable NEW_PCIB by default on ia64.

Approved by: re (kib), marcel


# 202097 11-Jan-2010 marcel

Use io(4) for I/O port access on ia64, rather than through sysarch(2).
I/O port access is implemented on Itanium by reading and writing to a
special region in memory. To hide details and avoid misaligned memory
accesses, a process did I/O port reads and writes by making a MD system
call. There's one fatal problem with this approach: unprivileged access
was not being prevented. /dev/io serves that purpose on amd64/i386, so
employ it on ia64 as well. Use an ioctl for doing the actual I/O and
remove the sysarch(2) interface.

Backward compatibility is not being considered. The sysarch(2) approach
was added to support X11, but support for FreeBSD/ia64 was never fully
implemented in X11. Thus, nothing gets broken that didn't need more work
to begin with.

# 201534 04-Jan-2010 imp

Revert 200594. This file isn't intended for these sorts of things.


# 200594 16-Dec-2009 dougb

Add INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE, and a note in comments about how to also
include the comments with CONFIGARGS


# 191954 10-May-2009 kuriyama

- Use "device\t" and "options \t" for consistency.


# 178372 21-Apr-2008 phk

Make genclock standard on all platforms.

Thanks to: grehan & marcel for platform support on ia64 and ppc.


# 178222 15-Apr-2008 marcel

Use genclock for RTC handling. This eliminates the MD versions for
inittodr() and resettodr(). Have nexus double as the clock device,
because it's the firmware that provides RTC services. We could
create a special (pseudo-) device for it, but that wasn't superior
enough to actually do it. Maybe later...

# 177091 12-Mar-2008 jeff

Remove kernel support for M:N threading.

While the KSE project was quite successful in bringing threading to
FreeBSD, the M:N approach taken by the kse library was never developed
to its full potential. Backwards compatibility will be provided via
libmap.conf for dynamically linked binaries and static binaries will
be broken.


# 174326 06-Dec-2007 marcel

Add a BSD disklabel backend to g_part:
o Disklabels can have between 8 and 20 partitions (inclusive).
o No device special file is created for the raw partition.
o Switch ia64 to use this backend.
o No support for boot code yet.


# 170652 13-Jun-2007 marcel

Enable GEOM_PART_MBR by default. On ia64 this replaces GEOM_MBR.


# 166551 07-Feb-2007 marcel

Evolve the ctlreq interface added to geom_gpt into a generic
partitioning class that supports multiple schemes. Current
schemes supported are APM (Apple Partition Map) and GPT.
Change all GEOM_APPLE anf GEOM_GPT options into GEOM_PART_APM
and GEOM_PART_GPT (resp).

The ctlreq interface supports verbs to create and destroy
partitioning schemes on a disk; to add, delete and modify
partitions; and to commit or undo changes made.


# 163987 04-Nov-2006 jb

Remove the KDTRACE option again because of the complaints about having
it as a default.

For the record, the KDTRACE option caused _no_ additional source files
to be compiled in; certainly no CDDL source files. All it did was to
allow existing BSD licensed kernel files to include one or more CDDL
header files.

By removing this from DEFAULTS, the onus is on a kernel builder to add
the option to the kernel config, possibly by including GENERIC and
customising from there. It means that DTrace won't be a feature
available in FreeBSD by default, which is the way I intended it to be.

Without this option, you can't load the dtrace module (which contains
the dtrace device and the DTrace framework). This is equivalent to
requiring an option in a kernel config before you can load the linux
emulation module, for example.

I think it is a mistake to have DTrace ported to FreeBSD, but not
to have it available to everyone, all the time. The only exception
to this is the companies which distribute systems with FreeBSD embedded.
Those companies will customise their systems anyway. The KDTRACE
option was intended for them, and only them.


# 163972 04-Nov-2006 jb

Build in kernel support for loading DTrace modules by default. This
adds the hooks that DTrace modules register with, and adds a few functions
which have the dtrace_ prefix to allow the DTrace FBT (function boundary
trace) provider to avoid tracing because they are called from the DTtrace
probe context.

Unlike other forms of tracing and debug, DTrace support in the kernel
incurs negligible run-time cost.

I think the only reason why anyone wouldn't want to have kernel support
enabled for DTrace would be due to the license (CDDL) under which DTrace
is released.


# 163710 26-Oct-2006 jb

Add 'options KSE' to the kernel config DEFAULTS on all arches/machines
except sun4v.

This change makes the transition from a default to an option more
transparent and is an attempt to head off all the compliants that are
likely from people who don't read UPDATING, based on experience with
the io/mem change.

# 160444 17-Jul-2006 marcel

Move default GEOM classes from files.ia64, where they were marked
standard, to the DEFAULTS file.


# 159537 12-Jun-2006 imp

Add the ability to subset the devices that UART pulls in. This allows
the arm to compile without all the extras that don't appear, at least
not in the flavors of ARM I deal with. This helps us save about 100k.

If I've botched the available devices on a platform, please let me
know and I'll correct ASAP.


# 158124 28-Apr-2006 marcel

Rewrite of puc(4). Significant changes are:
o Properly use rman(9) to manage resources. This eliminates the
need to puc-specific hacks to rman. It also allows devinfo(8)
to be used to find out the specific assignment of resources to
serial/parallel ports.
o Compress the PCI device "database" by optimizing for the common
case and to use a procedural interface to handle the exceptions.
The procedural interface also generalizes the need to setup the
hardware (program chipsets, program clock frequencies).
o Eliminate the need for PUC_FASTINTR. Serdev devices are fast by
default and non-serdev devices are handled by the bus.
o Use the serdev I/F to collect interrupt status and to handle
interrupts across ports in priority order.
o Sync the PCI device configuration to include devices found in
NetBSD and not yet merged to FreeBSD.
o Add support for Quatech 2, 4 and 8 port UARTs.
o Add support for a couple dozen Timedia serial cards as found
in Linux.


# 152865 27-Nov-2005 ru

- Allow duplicate "machine" directives with the same arguments.
- Move existing "machine" directives to DEFAULTS.


# 152662 21-Nov-2005 jhb

Don't enable PUC_FASTINTR by default in the source. Instead, enable it
via the DEFAULTS kernel configs. This allows folks to turn it that option
off in the kernel configs if desired without having to hack the source.
This is especially useful since PUC_FASTINTR hangs the kernel boot on my
ultra60 which has two uart(4) devices hung off of a puc(4) device.

I did not enable PUC_FASTINTR by default on powerpc since powerpc does not
currently allow sharing of INTR_FAST with non-INTR_FAST like the other
archs.


# 152661 21-Nov-2005 jhb

Create DEFAULTS files for alpha, ia64, powerpc, and sparc64 and move
'device mem' over from GENERIC to DEFAULTS to be consistent with i386 and
amd64. Additionally, on ia64 enable ACPI by default since ia64 requires
acpi.
