Robert Watson 4cf7545589 Attempt to make break-to-debugger and alternative break-to-debugger more
accessible:

(1) Always compile in support for breaking into the debugger if options
    KDB is present in the kernel.

(2) Disable both by default, but allow them to be enabled via tunables
    and sysctls debug.kdb.break_to_debugger and
    debug.kdb.alt_break_to_debugger.

(3) options BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and options ALT_BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER continue
    to behave as before -- only now instead of compiling in
    break-to-debugger support, they change the default values of the
    above sysctls to enable those features by default.  Current kernel
    configurations should, therefore, continue to behave as expected.

(4) Migrate alternative break-to-debugger state machine logic out of
    individual device drivers into centralised KDB code.  This has a
    number of upsides, but also one downside: it's now tricky to release
    sio spin locks when entering the debugger, so we don't.  However,
    similar logic does not exist in other device drivers, including uart.

(5) dcons requires some special handling; unlike other console types, it
    allows overriding KDB's own debugger selection, so we need a new
    interface to KDB to allow that to work.

GENERIC kernels in -CURRENT will now support break-to-debugger as long as
appropriate boot/run-time options are set, which should improve the
debuggability of BETA kernels significantly.

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.
