Bill Paul c788ca3e3c Recently, it was reported to me that you could provoke a double fault
panic with the NDISulator if you did "ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1/24,"
whereas "ifconfig ndis0 10.0.0.1/24 up" worked fine. The double fault
was caused by the ifconfig thread running out of kernel stack space.
(This was partly due to the NDIsulator using a couple of big buffers on
the stack, but even after fixing that the double fault persisted.)

It turns out that ndis_init() is called in both cases, but in the first
case the code path passes through ieee80211_ioctl(), and it turns out
ieee80211_ioctl() consumes a whopping 2400 bytes of stack space.
Apparently, gcc -O2 causes the ieee80211_ioctl_get80211() routine to
be inlined into ieee80211_ioctl(), and for some reason which I do not
fully understand, this causes ieee80211_ioctl() to consume an extra 2K
of stack space.

To prevent this overly agressive optimization, ieee80211_ioctl_get80211()
is now declared with __attribute__ ((noinline)). With this change,
ieee80211_ioctl() now only reserves about 200 bytes of stack instead of 2400.

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
``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.
