FreeBSD detects serial ports twice: First, very early in the boot
process, in order to obtain a usable console; and second, during
the device probe/attach process. When a UART is discovered during
device probing, FreeBSD attempts to determine whether it is a
device which was already being used as a console; without this,
the console doesn't work in userland.
Unfortunately it's possible for a UART to be mapped to a different
location in memory when it is discovered on a bus than it has when
it is announced via the ACPI SPCR table; this breaks the matching
process, which relies on comparing bus addresses.
To address this, we introduce a concept of "unique" serial devices,
i.e. devices which are guaranteed to be present *only once* on any
system. If we discover one of these during device probing, we can
match it to a same-PCI-vendor-and-device-numbers console which was
announced via the ACPI SPCR table, regardless of the differing bus
addresses.
At present, the only unique serial device is the "Amazon PCI serial
device" (vendor 0x1d0f, device 0x8250) found in some EC2 instances.
This unbreaks the serial console on those systems.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory. Additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information.
The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7), config(8), https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html, and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables.
