Set kldxref_enable="YES" for ARM images Authored by trasz on Feb 27 2018, 4:32 PM. Tags None Referenced Files
Details Set kldxref_enable="YES" for ARM images. Without this, the images are missing the /boot/kernel/linker.hints file, which breaks loading some of the modules with dependencies, eg cfiscsi.ko. It would be better to run kldxref(8) when building the images, but at this point that tool cannot handle files for architectures other than its own. Note that I don't really have a way to test this change, so any help here would be welcome. This fixes https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=218166.

Event TimelineComment Actions Now I think about this, I think we should actually just change the default. The reason is that it's required for every image that's being cross-built (kldxref(1) cannot handle files from non-native architectures); for ones that are not cross-built (ie amd64) having it on by default won't do anything - the script is noop if the linker.hints already exists. It will result in a message during boot, however; I have another review (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D14694) that should fix it. |
