Shim library that allows some BSD-specific software to be compiled and run under Linuxolator

Currently it supports libinotify andlibudev-devd under FreeBSD 13+. The library handles following BSD libc functions: devname, devname_r, kevent, kqueue, strlcat, strlcpy, sysctlnametomib, sysctlbyname. linux_libbsd.ko kmod is requred to be kld-loaded in to kernel. Following steps will build and install linux-libbsd:

Load linuxolator kernel modules in to memory

$ sudo service linux onestart

Install devel/linux-c7-devtools

$ pkg install linux-c7-devtools

Build and install linux-libbsd

$ cd linux-libbsd
$ make
$ sudo make install

Load linux_libbsd kernel module in to memory

$ sudo kldload linux_libbsd

To load kernel modules at boot time add some lines to /etc/rc.conf

$ sudo sysrc linux_enable=YES
$ sudo sysrc kld_list+=linux_libbsd
