Hi, I'm a real novice when it comes to building kernels. Therefore, my question might seem simple but the solution is not obvious to me.
I'm compiling the opensolaris kernel source and I'm wondering if there is a documented mapping between the hardware I'm compiling on and the cpu-specific files that are chosen during compilation. When listing the directories in usr/src/uts I find the following catalogs among others: sparc sun sun4 sun4u sun4v What is the difference between sparc, sun, sun4, sun4u, and sun4v? Is there a document explaining this? So, if the machine I'm compiling on is a ultrasparc-IIi, the question is what directory or directories (sparc, sun, sun4, sun4u, or sun4v) are chosen for that particular architecture. Furthermore, what architecture-dependent files are chosen?
