CVS commit: src/sys/rump

[Antti Kantee <pooka%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   pooka
Date:           Thu Nov 26 09:50:38 UTC 2009

Modified Files:
        src/sys/rump/include/rump: rumpuser.h
        src/sys/rump/librump/rumpkern: rump.c
        src/sys/rump/librump/rumpuser: rumpuser_dl.c

Log Message:
Build the kernel symbol table in rumpuser bootstrap and feed it to
the rump kernel.  After this change it is possible to use the
in-kernel linker and rump_sys_modctl() to load kernel modules at
runtime.

Previously loading modules at runtime was possible only through
using the host system ld.so.  Note that it is still preferred to
use shared libs when possible, since they are PIC and n virtual
kernels will only require one copy of r/o segments.  However, when
there is no access to source code, a binary kernel module is the
only thing available ...
