This enables tracing of I/O 24 requests through the CAM layer without relying on fragile function 25 boundary tracing. See dtrace_cam(4) for details. 26 27b8c99e7d912f: 28 The tdestroy(3) function was added to libc. The tdestroy() function 29 destroys a whole search tree, freeing all allocated nodes. 30 314bf8ce037dc8: 32 The rge(4) driver was added, ported from OpenBSD. This provides 33 support for RealTek RTL8125, RTL8126 and RTL8127 PCIe Ethernet 34 controllers. 35 36cbc6f7e941e4: 37 bhyve(8)'s VNC device can now listen on a unix(4) socket for VNC client 38 connections. 39 4039ee24182b92: 41 An rc(8) service can now be started as a specific user for auditing 42 purposes by setting the <service>_audit_user rc.conf(5) variable. 43 44dcb0790bad43: 45 A setaudit(8) utility was added to the base system. This provides a 46 simple command-line wrapper for the setaudit(2) and setaudit_addr(2) 47 system calls. 48 498e3fd450cc53, 949cff4dceff, 0e724de9ed6f, 9f49f436a9ec, e35191ccf3b3: 50 Add support for an extension to NFSv4.2 (RFCnnnn) that 51 supports handling of POSIX draft ACLs via getfacl(1)/setfacl(1). 52 53dbac191956f9, fe21dbf70aa8: 54 Support for the kcmp(2) system call and fcntl(F_DUPFD_QUERY) for Linux 55 binaries. 56 57a86dc94b84d1: 58 tzdata2025c was imported. 59 60a98e5d785001: 61 Add strdupa(3) and strndupa(3) macros for compatability with glibc. 62 63e967a2a03677: 64 divert socket compat removal, consumers must use PF_DIVERT instead of 65 PF_INET. 66 674453ec5b8716b, 2a3b1641756a: 68 The reboot(8) and halt(8) commands now perform a graceful shutdown similar 69 to the shutdown(8) command including invoking rc.d scripts to shutdown 70 services. The fastboot(8) and fasthalt(8) commands still perform a "fast" 71 reboot or shutdown. 72 73d9788eabffa4: 74 ipfilter cannot be used in a jail by default. 75 760ff0c19e7f70: 77 ipfs(8) is no longer built by default. 78 79575efcfff22f: 80 sendfile(2)'s SF_SYNC flag was removed. 81 82057dae35ffc6, 51a01f3debff, ca3e47b0ea68: 83 hwpmc(4) support for Intel Alder Lake 6-B7, 6-BA, and 6-BF CPU 84 hwpmc(4) support for Intel Emerald Rapids CPUs 85 hwpmc(4) support for Intel Alder Lake-N CPUs 86 871ecf01065b45: 88 New library libuvmem provides the vmem(9) API to userspace applications. 89 90b6cad334e64: 91 Make game controller devices accessible by members of the "game" group 92 by default. 93 94791c531402bd: 95 Add driver for Feature Integration Technology Inc. (aka Fintek) F81232 96 USB to serial devices. 97 98ec0cd287f55f: 99 Support for NVMe/TCP offload on Chelsio T7 adapters. The nvmf_che(4) 100 module enables T7 adapters to process NVMe/TCP PDUs directly similar to 101 the PDU offload provided by cxgbei(4) for iSCSI. 102
