Rename the kernel.signal.coredump devctl notification
to kern.signal.coredump and document it in devd.conf(5).
At this point we invoke both kernel.signal.coredump
and kern.signal.coredump, for backwards compatibility.

Diff Detail
Event TimelineComment Actions Without renaming we would have both "kern" and "kernel". In devd.conf(5) man page we already have the "kern" top-level, described as "Events related to the kernel"; leaving the old name would require adding a new top level "kernel" - described as "Also events related to the kernel", I guess? Comment Actions Yes, the event should be not renamed. It is unfortunate that we have this inconsistency, but I do not see a documentation issue strong enough to warrant the a) the breakage of the interface or b) doubling of the events sent on the core dump. |
