I built a kernel without the random device and tried to use the
module. I loaded it from the bootloader and the machine panic'ed on boot:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0a

Don't know what's happening here.
Gdb says:
(gdb) l* 0xfc42f824
0xfc42f824 is in name2oid (../../kern/kern_sysctl.c:621).
616 *p = '\0';
617
618 oidp = SLIST_FIRST(lsp);
619
620 while (oidp *len CTL_MAXNAME) {
621 if (strcmp(name, oidp-oid_name)) {
622 oidp = SLIST_NEXT(oidp, oid_link);
623 continue;
624 }
625 *oid++ = oidp-oid_number;
When I boot into single user mode and try to load the module after boot, this
happens:
Enter full pathname of shell or RETURN for /bin/sh:
# kldload random
panic: cpu_fork: curproc
syncing disks...
done
Uptime: 27s
I'm fairly certain this is an invalid assertion:
#ifdef DIAGNOSTIC
if (p1 != curproc)
panic("cpu_fork: curproc");
...
kthread_create forks the new thread on behalf of proc0,
error = fork1(proc0, ...
but if you loaded the module from single user mode then curproc
is most likely going to initproc and not proc0. Basically this
doesn't allow an arbitrary process to create a kernel thread.
