X-BeenThere: freebsd-arch@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussion related to FreeBSD architecture List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2011 09:08:22 -0000 Hi, are there reasons which prevent the addition of KDTRACE_HOOKS (and makeoptions WITH_CTF=yes) to GENERIC? AFAIR the KDTRACE_HOOKS part was specially (re)written to not include CDDL code into the kernel and allow to load all the CDDL parts as a module. I also assume that the data the ctf tools add to the object files falls not within the license of the tool themself. In case we get the critical mass in favour of this, which architectures (besides amd64 and i386) are supported?
