Modified files:
sys/kern link_aout.c
Log:
Updates for KLD backends.
- symbol_values checks that the symbol is indeed belonging to the
correct symbol and string table pairs before looking up. (since there
could be many pairs, and KLD/DDB need to find out).
- different ops for files versus preload modules - the unload mechanism
is different. (a preloaded module has to be deleted on unload since
the in-core image is tainted by relocation and variables used)
- Do not build an a.out kernel module if we're running on an elf
kernel. :-) Note that it should theoretically be possible to
mix a.out and elf KLD modules providing -mno-underscores was used
to compile it, or some other symbol conversion takes place.
- Support preload modules (even though /boot/loader doesn't yet)
- Search the module path when loading files.
