Default branch: MAIN

Note that manually loaded modules are not auto-unloaded.

Sync with HEAD

Notify that the file system has to be mounted first before modules can
be loaded from it.

ok pgoyette@

Update module_autoload to say that a .plist file will be loaded, and if
that .plist contains noautoload=true then the system will refuse to load
the module.

Fix xref; module(4) -> module(7).

Xref module(4).

Remove boilerplate in CODE REFERENCES on file paths.
Describe in intro(9) how to read paths in the CODE REFERENCES section.

Rename the autoloaded property list from <module>.prop to <module>.plist
as discussed on tech-kern.

Sync with HEAD (-D20101022).

note that MODULE_CLASS_SECMODEL is also automatically deregistered when being unloaded

Few small nits.

Put a valid date here - no more placeholder.

Define a set of new kernel locking primitives to implement the recursive
kernconfig_mutex.  Update module subsystem to use this mutex rather than
its own internal (non-recursive) mutex.  Make module_autoload() do its
own locking to be consistent with the rest of the module_xxx() calls.
Update module(9) man page appropriately.

As discussed on tech-kern over the last few weeks.

Welcome to NetBSD 5.99.39 !

Note that, for MODULE_CLASS_SECMODEL, the class is not ignored.  Rather,
we will automatically call secmodel_register() for these modules.

filesystem -> file system

Sync with HEAD.

file module.9 was added on branch uebayasi-xip on 2010-08-17 06:41:05 +0000

A few corrections:

- the return value from modcmd(MODULE_CMD_FINI) is not ignored;
  the module is only unloaded if the return value is 0
- if loading a module fails, the dependents won't be unloaded until
  the auto_unload timer goes off
- clarify that <module>.prop is merged with the dictionary passed
  in by modctl()
- clarify that other parts of the kernel shouldn't normally call
  module_unload()
- add some more source references and mention routines expected to
  be supplied by architecture dependent code

Sort sections, remove trailing whitespace.

Add an Authors section

We usually write "file system", so change it to this version here.
Also, fix a typo, and remove a line only consisting of ".Fn ".

Add documentation for the various module system initialization routines.

Remove trailing whitespace, and mark up file name suffix.

Filling in a few more gaps.

Add documentation for module_find_section()

Fix typo.

Improvements to wording, grammar, and markup.

Unimplemented modcmd() routines should return ENOTTY, not zero.

Improve markup, add documentation for the module's modcmd() interface

Crap - another typo.

Minor grammar nits.

Make a first pass at documenting the module(9) subsystem.

XXX This is by no means complete, but it is a beginning.
