Alan Cox e1de0706a0 In a few places, like the implementation of ptrace(), a thread may call
upon pmap_enter() to create a mapping within a different address space,
i.e., not the thread's own address space.  On i386, this entails the
creation of a temporary mapping to the affected page table page (PTP).  In
general, pmap_enter() will read from this PTP, allocate a PV entry, and
write to this PTP.  The trouble comes when the system is short of memory.
In order to allocate a new PV entry, an older PV entry has to be
reclaimed.  Reclaiming a PV entry involves destroying a mapping, which
requires access to the affected PTP.  Thus, the PTP mapped at the
beginning of pmap_enter() is no longer mapped at the end of pmap_enter(),
which leads to pmap_enter() modifying the wrong PTP.  To address this
problem, pmap_pv_reclaim() is changed to use an alternate method of
mapping PTPs.

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.
