2 1.1 pooka
3 1.2 pooka * integrate build framework with config(1) to stop the need to
4 1.8 pooka maintain a separate build infrastructure. the remaining step
5 1.8 pooka is to rewrite the Makefiles to use source file lists generated
6 1.8 pooka with config(1) (where possible)
7 1.8 pooka + this will also benefit kernel modules
8 1.9 pooka + the patch to config(1) exists but is not in-tree. remaining work is
9 1.9 pooka modifications to files.*
10 1.4 pooka * find a better solution for rumpdefs.h, the sed "solution"
11 1.4 pooka doesn't really scale nicely
12 1.9 pooka + something toolchain-based?
13 1.9 pooka * make it possible for kernel components to define private hypercalls.
14 1.9 pooka the implementation is trivial (just do it), but the build system makes
15 1.9 pooka things very difficult (if you want to find out why, just try it).
16 1.9 pooka * the .a semantics do not make sense for rump kernel components.
17 1.8 pooka additionally, they cannot be loaded as modules since they are
18 1.8 pooka ar's instead of elf objects. make the build produce and use elf
19 1.8 pooka objects instead of archives
20 1.8 pooka * cleanup remaining uses of __ in the kernel
21 1.9 pooka * rump_syscalls.c in librump should be compiled in the client
22 1.9 pooka namespace, not the rump kernel namespace. while technically trivial,
23 1.9 pooka the build system makes this quite difficult. one option for "cheating"
24 1.9 pooka would be to put it into librumpuser which is always available for
25 1.9 pooka local clients (per definition of local client).
26 1.9 pooka * add autoconf support to librumpuser to clean up the #ifdef acrobatics
27 1.9 pooka and fix some of the issues that cannot be handled purely with static
28 1.9 pooka ifdefs (autoconf to be used for non-native builds only)
