Currently, 'softsig-helper -buserror' causes a SIGBUS on most platforms, but can result in SIGSEGV on FreeBSD by default (at least on 11.3-RELEASE). Skip the test on FreeBSD, until we can provide a more reliable way to generate SIGBUS. Note that when the sysctl machdep.prot_fault_translation is set to 1, 'softsig-helper -buserror' generates a SIGBUS instead of SIGSEGV, suggesting that generating a SIGBUS here is the old 'compat' behavior. When machdep.prot_fault_translation is 0 (the default), the code path in the FreeBSD kernel that dictates whether to send a SIGBUS or SIGSEGV in this situation depends on some autodetection heuristics, and so may produce different results depending on FreeBSD releases or even compiler settings (due to detection of ABI based on some ELF notes in the relevant binary). For some details on this sysctl, see <https://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2019-07-2019-09.html#Signals-delivered-on-unhandled-Page-Faults> or the FreeBSD source code. In 11.3-RELEASE, the decision to issue a SIGBUS or SIGSEGV can be found around sys/amd64/amd64/trap.c:355.

AFS is a distributed file system that enables users to share and access all of the files stored in a network of computers as easily as they access the files stored on their local machines. The file system is called distributed for this exact reason: files can reside on many different machines, but are available to users on every machine. OpenAFS 1.0 was originally released by IBM under the terms of the IBM Public License 1.0 (IPL10). For details on IPL10 see the LICENSE file in this directory. The current OpenAFS distribution is licensed under a combination of the IPL10 and many other licenses as granted by the relevant copyright holders. The LICENSE file in this directory contains more details, thought it is not a comprehensive statement. See INSTALL for information about building and installing OpenAFS on various platforms.
