<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>
