|       <p>Historically, FreeBSD has limited the number of supplemental | ||||
| 	groups per process to 15 (NGROUPS_MAX was incorrectly declared to be | ||||
| 	16).  In FreeBSD 8.0 we raised the limit to 1023, which should be | ||||
| 	sufficient for most users and will be acceptably efficient for | ||||
| 	incorrectly written applications that statically allocate | ||||
| 	NGROUPS_MAX + 1 entries.</p> | ||||
| 
 | ||||
|       <p>Because some systems such as Linux 2.6 support a larger | ||||
| 	group limit, we have further relaxed this restriction in -CURRENT and | ||||
| 	made kern.ngroups a tunable value, which supports values between 1023 | ||||
| 	and INT_MAX - 1.  We plan to merge this to 8-STABLE before | ||||
| 	8.1-RELEASE.</p> | ||||

|       <p>The purpose of this project is to provide FreeBSD with support for the | ||||
| 	Flattened Device Tree (FDT) technology, the a mechanism for describing | ||||
| 	computer hardware resources, which cannot be probed or self enumerated, in | ||||
| 	a uniform and portable way. The primary consumer of this technology are | ||||
| 	embedded FreeBSD platforms (ARM, AVR32, MIPS, PowerPC), where a lot of | ||||
| 	designs are based on similar chips, but have different assignment of pins, | ||||
| 	memory layout, addresses bindings, interrupts routing and other resources.</p> | ||||
| 
 | ||||

|

| 	  <li>integrated FDT resources representation with newbus (fdtbus | ||||
| 	    and simplebus drivers)</li> | ||||
| 	</ul> | ||||
