As an aside, I compared non-device-specific options in sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC and sys/arm64/conf/std.arm64. Aside from this BLOAT_KERNEL_WITH_EXTERR the following differences exist:

arm64 only

  • CC_CUBIC
  • VFP
  • LINUX_BOOT_ABI
  • PERTHREAD_SSP
  • Commented-out sanitizer support e.g. KCOV

amd64 only

  • COMPAT_FREEBSD4 through COMPAT_FREEBSD10
  • NETGDB
  • IOMMU
  • COMPAT_LINUXKPI

  • CC_CUBIC
  • VFP
  • LINUX_BOOT_ABI
  • PERTHREAD_SSP

These 3 are arm64 specific

  • Commented-out sanitizer support e.g. KCOV

amd64 only

  • COMPAT_FREEBSD4 through COMPAT_FREEBSD10

No need for these as neither arm64 nor armv7 were supported until 11.0 and 12.0 respectively.

  • NETGDB
  • IOMMU

IOMMU needs work before we can enable it by default on arm64.

  • COMPAT_LINUXKPI
