Please read that file before running portupgrade. 132c724730SWarner Losh 144f1def68SWarner LoshNOTE: FreeBSD has switched from gcc to clang. If you have trouble bootstrapping 15a46954e2SWarner Loshfrom older versions of FreeBSD, try WITHOUT_CLANG and WITH_GCC to bootstrap to 16a8f2a2b9SEd Mastethe tip of head, and then rebuild without this option. The bootstrap process 17a8f2a2b9SEd Mastefrom older version of current across the gcc/clang cutover is a bit fragile. 184f1def68SWarner Losh 19ae940db1SGlen BarberNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 12.x IS SLOW: 20981b538fSGlen Barber FreeBSD 12.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel 21456b5dd8SWarner Losh and userland. These features attempt to detect incorrect use of 22456b5dd8SWarner Losh system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity 23456b5dd8SWarner Losh checking and fail stop semantics. They also substantially impact 24456b5dd8SWarner Losh system performance. If you want to do performance measurement, 25456b5dd8SWarner Losh benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off. This 26456b5dd8SWarner Losh includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc 27456b5dd8SWarner Losh debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the 28456b5dd8SWarner Losh kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build 2999e449f2SJason Evans machines to maximize performance. (To completely disable malloc 3099e449f2SJason Evans debugging, define MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf, or to merely 3199e449f2SJason Evans disable the most expensive debugging functionality run 32fca3dcdfSWarner Losh "ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".) 335ad05815SWarner Losh 34*1da7787fSGlen Barber20181009: 35*1da7787fSGlen Barber OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1. This update included 36*1da7787fSGlen Barber additional various API changes througout the base system. It is 37*1da7787fSGlen Barber important to rebuild third-party software after upgrading. The value 38*1da7787fSGlen Barber of __FreeBSD_version has been bumped accordingly. 39*1da7787fSGlen Barber 40532dc172SKyle Evans20181006: 41532dc172SKyle Evans The legacy DRM modules and drivers have now been added to the loader's 42532dc172SKyle Evans module blacklist, in favor of loading them with kld_list in rc.conf(5). 43532dc172SKyle Evans The module blacklist may be overridden with the loader.conf(5) 44532dc172SKyle Evans 'module_blacklist' variable, but loading them via rc.conf(5) is strongly 45532dc172SKyle Evans encouraged. 46532dc172SKyle Evans 478ac2f3baSKevin Bowling20181002: 488ac2f3baSKevin Bowling The cam(4) based nda(4) driver will be used over nvd(4) by default on 498ac2f3baSKevin Bowling powerpc64. You may set 'options NVME_USE_NVD=1' in your kernel conf or 508ac2f3baSKevin Bowling loader tunable 'hw.nvme.use_nvd=1' if you wish to use the existing 518ac2f3baSKevin Bowling driver. Make sure to edit /boot/etc/kboot.conf and fstab to use the 528ac2f3baSKevin Bowling nda device name. 538ac2f3baSKevin Bowling 548d66f7beSEd Maste20180913: 558d66f7beSEd Maste Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for 568d66f7beSEd Maste FreeBSD 12.0. This eliminates build metadata such as the user, 578d66f7beSEd Maste host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree 588d66f7beSEd Maste corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system. 598d66f7beSEd Maste The previous behavior can be obtained by setting the /etc/src.conf 608d66f7beSEd Maste knob WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD. 618d66f7beSEd Maste 6219fa89e9SMark Murray20180826: 6319fa89e9SMark Murray The Yarrow CSPRNG has been removed from the kernel as it has not been 6419fa89e9SMark Murray supported by its designers since at least 2003. Fortuna has been the 6519fa89e9SMark Murray default since FreeBSD-11. 6619fa89e9SMark Murray 670fb707ecSWarner Losh20180822: 680fb707ecSWarner Losh devctl freeze/thaw have gone into the tree, the rc scripts have been 6984b9dfe4SWarner Losh updated to use them and devmatch has been changed. You should update 7084b9dfe4SWarner Losh kernel, userland and rc scripts all at the same time. 7184b9dfe4SWarner Losh 72f9f8ac94SKyle Evans20180818: 73f9f8ac94SKyle Evans The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua. 74f9f8ac94SKyle Evans LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default 75f9f8ac94SKyle Evans interpreter. If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set 76f9f8ac94SKyle Evans LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in 77f9f8ac94SKyle Evans src.conf for the build. This will create default hard links between 78f9f8ac94SKyle Evans loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default. 79f9f8ac94SKyle Evans If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi. 80f9f8ac94SKyle Evans 81295506bfSWarner Losh bhyve uses userboot.so. It remains 4th-only until some issues are solved 82295506bfSWarner Losh regarding coexisting with multiple versions of FreeBSD are resolved. 83295506bfSWarner Losh 8472ad696aSKyle Evans20180815: 8572ad696aSKyle Evans ls(1) now respects the COLORTERM environment variable used in other 8672ad696aSKyle Evans systems and software to indicate that a colored terminal is both 8772ad696aSKyle Evans supported and desired. If ls(1) is suddenly emitting colors, they may 88e10ba800SKyle Evans be disabled again by either removing the unwanted COLORTERM from your 89e10ba800SKyle Evans environment, or using `ls --color=never`. The ls(1) specific CLICOLOR 90e10ba800SKyle Evans may not be observed in a future release. 9172ad696aSKyle Evans 9247cc9ee1SAlan Somers20180808: 9347cc9ee1SAlan Somers The default pager for most commands has been changed to "less". To 9447cc9ee1SAlan Somers restore the old behavior, set PAGER="more" and MANPAGER="more -s" in 9547cc9ee1SAlan Somers your environment. 9647cc9ee1SAlan Somers 97b5988450SRavi Pokala20180731: 98b5988450SRavi Pokala The jedec_ts(4) driver has been removed. A superset of its functionality 99b5988450SRavi Pokala is available in the jedec_dimm(4) driver, and the manpage for that 100b5988450SRavi Pokala driver includes migration instructions. If you have "device jedec_ts" 101b5988450SRavi Pokala in your kernel configuration file, it must be removed. 102b5988450SRavi Pokala 103164138e7SKyle Evans20180730: 104164138e7SKyle Evans amd64/GENERIC now has EFI runtime services, EFIRT, enabled by default. 105dfa6eec2SKyle Evans This should have no effect if the kernel is booted via BIOS/legacy boot. 1061ddc8a8eSKyle Evans EFIRT may be disabled via a loader tunable, efi.rt.disabled, if a system 107164138e7SKyle Evans has a buggy firmware that prevents a successful boot due to use of 108164138e7SKyle Evans runtime services. 109164138e7SKyle Evans 110411e4219SWarner Losh20180727: 111411e4219SWarner Losh Atmel AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9, Cavium CNS 11xx and XScale 112411e4219SWarner Losh support has been removed from the tree. These ports were 113411e4219SWarner Losh obsolete and/or known to be broken for many years. 114411e4219SWarner Losh 115b43c6042SWarner Losh20180723: 116b43c6042SWarner Losh loader.efi has been augmented to participate more fully in the 117663472dfSWarner Losh UEFI boot manager protocol. loader.efi will now look at the 118663472dfSWarner Losh BootXXXX environment variable to determine if a specific kernel 119663472dfSWarner Losh or root partition was specified. XXXX is derived from BootCurrent. 120663472dfSWarner Losh efibootmgr(8) manages these standard UEFI variables. 121b43c6042SWarner Losh 122d397afa3SWarner Losh20180720: 123d397afa3SWarner Losh zfsloader's functionality has now been folded into loader. 1245f9d7aafSEd Maste zfsloader is no longer necessary once you've updated your 1253b741022SWarner Losh boot blocks. For a transition period, we will install a 1263b741022SWarner Losh hardlink for zfsloader to loader to allow a smooth transition 1273b741022SWarner Losh until the boot blocks can be updated (hard link because old 1283b741022SWarner Losh zfs boot blocks don't understand symlinks). 129d397afa3SWarner Losh 130d0e46652SIan Lepore20180719: 131c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot ARM64 now have efifb support, if you want to have serial console 132c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot on your arm64 board when an screen is connected and the bootloader 133c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot setup a frambuffer for us to use, just add : 134c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot boot_serial=YES 135c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot boot_multicons=YES 136c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot in /boot/loader.conf 137c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot For Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI) users, this is needed even if you don't have 138c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot an screen connected as the firmware will setup a framebuffer are that 139c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot u-boot will expose as an EFI framebuffer. 140c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot 141c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot20180719: 142d0e46652SIan Lepore New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123). Be sure to run mergemaster 143d0e46652SIan Lepore or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on 1440d77d170SIan Lepore existing systems. Do not skip the "mergemaster -Fp" step before 1450d77d170SIan Lepore installworld, as described in the update procedures near the bottom 1460d77d170SIan Lepore of this document. Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd 147d0e46652SIan Lepore if the new mac_ntpd(4) policy is available, unless ntpd_flags or 148d0e46652SIan Lepore the ntp config file contain options that change file/dir locations. 149d0e46652SIan Lepore When such options (e.g., "statsdir" or "crypto") are used, ntpd can 150d0e46652SIan Lepore still be run as non-root by setting ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf, after 151d0e46652SIan Lepore taking steps to ensure that all required files/dirs are accessible 152d0e46652SIan Lepore by the ntpd user. 153d0e46652SIan Lepore 154dbe8ed38SWarner Losh20180717: 155dbe8ed38SWarner Losh Big endian arm support has been removed. 156dbe8ed38SWarner Losh 15744314c35SKyle Evans20180711: 15844314c35SKyle Evans The static environment setup in kernel configs is no longer mutually 15944314c35SKyle Evans exclusive with the loader(8) environment by default. In order to 16044314c35SKyle Evans restore the previous default behavior of disabling the loader(8) 16144314c35SKyle Evans environment if a static environment is present, you must specify 16244314c35SKyle Evans loader_env.disabled=1 in the static environment. 16344314c35SKyle Evans 164f38b68aeSBrooks Davis20180705: 165f38b68aeSBrooks Davis The ABI of syscalls used by management tools like sockstat and 166f38b68aeSBrooks Davis netstat has been broken to allow 32-bit binaries to work on 167f38b68aeSBrooks Davis 64-bit kernels without modification. These programs will need 168f38b68aeSBrooks Davis to match the kernel in order to function. External programs may 169f38b68aeSBrooks Davis require minor modifications to accommodate a change of type in 170f38b68aeSBrooks Davis structures from pointers to 64-bit virtual addresses. 171f38b68aeSBrooks Davis 172f4b36404SMatt Macy20180702: 173f4b36404SMatt Macy On i386 and amd64 atomics are now inlined. Out of tree modules using 174f4b36404SMatt Macy atomics will need to be rebuilt. 175f4b36404SMatt Macy 1760dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski20180701: 1770dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski The '%I' format in the kern.corefile sysctl limits the number of 1780dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski core files that a process can generate to the number stored in the 1790dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski debug.ncores sysctl. The '%I' format is replaced by the single digit 1800dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski index. Previously, if all indexes were taken the kernel would overwrite 1810dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski only a core file with the highest index in a filename. 1820dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free 1830dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski index or if all slots are taken it will overwrite the oldest one. 1845ad05815SWarner Losh 18555458465SDimitry Andric20180630: 18655458465SDimitry Andric Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 18755458465SDimitry Andric 6.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about 18855458465SDimitry Andric prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 18955458465SDimitry Andric or higher. 19055458465SDimitry Andric 1912fd8cef4SWarner Losh20180628: 1922fd8cef4SWarner Losh r335753 introduced a new quoting method. However, etc/devd/devmatch.conf 1932fd8cef4SWarner Losh needed to be changed to work with it. This change was made with r335763 1942fd8cef4SWarner Losh and requires a mergemaster / etcupdate / etc to update the installed file. 1952fd8cef4SWarner Losh 196fa986e33SRick Macklem20180612: 197fa986e33SRick Macklem r334930 changed the interface between the NFS modules, so they all 198fa986e33SRick Macklem need to be rebuilt. r335018 did a __FreeBSD_version bump for this. 199fa986e33SRick Macklem 2000bf7cdd5SWarner Losh20180530: 2016f282e72SEd Maste As of r334391 lld is the default amd64 system linker; it is installed 2026f282e72SEd Maste as /usr/bin/ld. Kernel build workarounds (see 20180510 entry) are no 2036f282e72SEd Maste longer necessary. 2046f282e72SEd Maste 2056f282e72SEd Maste20180530: 2060bf7cdd5SWarner Losh The kernel / userland interface for devinfo changed, so you'll 2070bf7cdd5SWarner Losh need a new kernel and userland as a pair for it to work (rebuilding 2080bf7cdd5SWarner Losh lib/libdevinfo is all that's required). devinfo and devmatch will 2090bf7cdd5SWarner Losh not work, but everything else will when there's a mismatch. 2100bf7cdd5SWarner Losh 2117e1a13f4SMatt Macy20180523: 2127e1a13f4SMatt Macy The on-disk format for hwpmc callchain records has changed to include 2137e1a13f4SMatt Macy threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets 2147e1a13f4SMatt Macy and thus requires that libpmcstat be rebuilt before using a kernel 2157e1a13f4SMatt Macy later than r334108. 2167e1a13f4SMatt Macy 2176f78fad3SSean Bruno20180517: 2186f78fad3SSean Bruno The vxge(4) driver has been removed. This driver was introduced into 2196f78fad3SSean Bruno HEAD one week before the Exar left the Ethernet market and is not 2206f78fad3SSean Bruno known to be used. If you have device vxge in your kernel config file 2216f78fad3SSean Bruno it must be removed. 2226f78fad3SSean Bruno 2236e258ed3SWarner Losh20180510: 224eb8831b9SWarner Losh The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a 225eb8831b9SWarner Losh working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default 226eb8831b9SWarner Losh on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However, 227eb8831b9SWarner Losh it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional 228eb8831b9SWarner Losh way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for 229eb8831b9SWarner Losh binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement 230eb8831b9SWarner Losh will go away. 231eb8831b9SWarner Losh 2326f282e72SEd Maste NOTE: As of r334391 lld is the default system linker on amd64, and no 2336f282e72SEd Maste workaround is necessary. 2346f282e72SEd Maste 23557b49365SSean Bruno20180508: 23657b49365SSean Bruno The nxge(4) driver has been removed. This driver was for PCI-X 10g 23757b49365SSean Bruno cards made by s2io/Neterion. The company was aquired by Exar and 23857b49365SSean Bruno no longer sells or supports Ethernet products. If you have device 23957b49365SSean Bruno nxge in your kernel config file it must be removed. 24057b49365SSean Bruno 241ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps20180504: 242ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps The tz database (tzdb) has been updated to 2018e. This version more 243ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps correctly models time stamps in time zones with negative DST such as 244ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and 245ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps Africa/Windhoek (1994/2017). This does not affect the UT offsets, only 246ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps time zone abbreviations and the tm_isdst flag. 247ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps 2482695c9c1SSean Bruno20180502: 2492695c9c1SSean Bruno The ixgb(4) driver has been removed. This driver was for an early and 2502695c9c1SSean Bruno uncommon legacy PCI 10GbE for a single ASIC, Intel 82597EX. Intel 2512695c9c1SSean Bruno quickly shifted to the long lived ixgbe family. If you have device 2522695c9c1SSean Bruno ixgb in your kernel config file it must be removed. 2532695c9c1SSean Bruno 254e6a376d1SEd Maste20180501: 255e6a376d1SEd Maste The lmc(4) driver has been removed. This was a WAN interface 256e6a376d1SEd Maste card that was already reportedly rare in 2003, and had an ambiguous 257e6a376d1SEd Maste license. If you have device lmc in your kernel config file it must 258e6a376d1SEd Maste be removed. 259e6a376d1SEd Maste 2603a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis20180413: 2613a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis Support for Arcnet networks has been removed. If you have device 2623a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis arcnet or device cm in your kernel config file they must be 2633a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis removed. 2643a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis 2650437c8e3SBrooks Davis20180411: 2660437c8e3SBrooks Davis Support for FDDI networks has been removed. If you have device 2670437c8e3SBrooks Davis fddi or device fpa in your kernel config file they must be 2680437c8e3SBrooks Davis removed. 2690437c8e3SBrooks Davis 2708129693eSEd Schouten20180406: 2718129693eSEd Schouten In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the 2728129693eSEd Schouten syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted 2738129693eSEd Schouten log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients 2748129693eSEd Schouten may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers, 2758129693eSEd Schouten microseconds and time zone offsets. 2768129693eSEd Schouten 2778129693eSEd Schouten Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to 2788129693eSEd Schouten send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging 2798129693eSEd Schouten daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no 2808129693eSEd Schouten negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are 2818129693eSEd Schouten updated at the same time. On systems using a different system 2828129693eSEd Schouten logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration 2838129693eSEd Schouten adjustments, depending on the software used. 2848129693eSEd Schouten 2858129693eSEd Schouten When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local 2868129693eSEd Schouten input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages: 2878129693eSEd Schouten 2888129693eSEd Schouten source src { 2898129693eSEd Schouten unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol)); 2908129693eSEd Schouten } 2918129693eSEd Schouten 2928129693eSEd Schouten When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option 2938129693eSEd Schouten of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the 2948129693eSEd Schouten regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline: 2958129693eSEd Schouten 2968129693eSEd Schouten module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off") 2978129693eSEd Schouten 2988129693eSEd Schouten Do note that these changes only affect communication between local 2998129693eSEd Schouten applications and syslogd(8).

Starting with FreeBSD 11.0 1097ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro and sendmail 8.15, sendmail uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by 1098ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro default, i.e., they will not contain "::". For example, instead 1099ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro of ::1, it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1. This permits a zero subnet 1100ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro to have a more specific match, such as different map entries for 1101ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0. This change requires that configuration 1102ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro data (including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset, etc.) must 1103ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro use the same format, so make certain such configuration data is 1104ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro upgrading. As a very simple check search for patterns like 1105ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro 'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'.

If you use RANDOM_DUMMY and/or have no 'device 1135d1b06863SMark Murray random', you will NOT have a functioning /dev/random, and 1136d1b06863SMark Murray many cryptographic features will not work, including SSH. 1137d1b06863SMark Murray You may also find strange behaviour from the random(3) set 1138d1b06863SMark Murray of library functions, in particular sranddev(3), srandomdev(3) 1139d1b06863SMark Murray and arc4random(3). The reason for this is that the KERN_ARND 1140d1b06863SMark Murray sysctl only returns entropy if it thinks it has some to 1141d1b06863SMark Murray share, and with RANDOM_DUMMY or no 'device random' this 1142d1b06863SMark Murray will never happen. 1143d1b06863SMark Murray 1144e44053b7SGregory Neil Shapiro20150623: 1145e44053b7SGregory Neil Shapiro An additional fix for the issue described in the 20150614 sendmail 114699144520SEitan Adler entry below has been committed in revision 284717. 11476f78e390SSimon J.

This means that to 1297143c11b4SDimitry Andric be able to successfully build the cross-tools stage of buildworld, with 1298143c11b4SDimitry Andric clang as the bootstrap compiler, your system compiler or cross compiler 1299143c11b4SDimitry Andric should either be clang 3.3 or later, or gcc 4.8 or later, and your 1300143c11b4SDimitry Andric system C++ library should be libc++, or libdstdc++ from gcc 4.8 or 1301143c11b4SDimitry Andric later. 1302143c11b4SDimitry Andric 13030ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric On any standard FreeBSD 10.x or 11.x installation, where clang and 13040ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric libc++ are on by default (that is, on x86 or arm), this should work out 13050ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric of the box. 1306143c11b4SDimitry Andric 1307143c11b4SDimitry Andric On 9.x installations where clang is enabled by default, e.g. on x86 and 1308143c11b4SDimitry Andric powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be 1309143c11b4SDimitry Andric built (with clang) and installed first. If both clang and libc++ are 1310143c11b4SDimitry Andric missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++. 1311143c11b4SDimitry Andric 1312143c11b4SDimitry Andric On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow 1313143c11b4SDimitry Andric the instructions for 9.x above. 1314143c11b4SDimitry Andric 13150ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by 13160ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric default, and do not build clang. 13170ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric 13180ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to 13190ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all. In those 13200ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround. 13210ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric 1322143c11b4SDimitry Andric This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which 1323143c11b4SDimitry Andric the following are most likely to appear: 1324143c11b4SDimitry Andric 1325143c11b4SDimitry Andric -Wabsolute-value 1326143c11b4SDimitry Andric 1327143c11b4SDimitry Andric This warns in two cases, for both C and C++: 1328143c11b4SDimitry Andric * When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned 1329143c11b4SDimitry Andric quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was 1330143c11b4SDimitry Andric intended. The code should be fixed, if at all possible. If you are 1331143c11b4SDimitry Andric sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without 1332143c11b4SDimitry Andric loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit 1333143c11b4SDimitry Andric cast, or disable the warning. 1334143c11b4SDimitry Andric 1335143c11b4SDimitry Andric * When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called 1336143c11b4SDimitry Andric abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation. 1337143c11b4SDimitry Andric If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please 1338143c11b4SDimitry Andric make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted 1339143c11b4SDimitry Andric side-effects. 1340143c11b4SDimitry Andric 1341143c11b4SDimitry Andric -Wtautological-undefined-compare and 1342143c11b4SDimitry Andric -Wundefined-bool-conversion 1343143c11b4SDimitry Andric 1344143c11b4SDimitry Andric These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while 1345143c11b4SDimitry Andric 'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code. However, there is 1346143c11b4SDimitry Andric some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this 1347143c11b4SDimitry Andric feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions. 1348143c11b4SDimitry Andric 1349143c11b4SDimitry Andric Squid and openjdk do this, for example. The warning can be turned off 1350143c11b4SDimitry Andric for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result 1351143c11b4SDimitry Andric in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are 1352143c11b4SDimitry Andric unreachable could be optimized away. 1353143c11b4SDimitry Andric 13540b327b63SRick Macklem20141222: 13550b327b63SRick Macklem The old NFS client and server (kernel options NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER) 13560b327b63SRick Macklem kernel sources have been removed. The .h files remain, since some 13570b327b63SRick Macklem utilities include them. This will need to be fixed later. 13580b327b63SRick Macklem If "mount -t oldnfs ..." is attempted, it will fail. 13590b327b63SRick Macklem If the "-o" option on mountd(8), nfsd(8) or nfsstat(1) is used, 13600b327b63SRick Macklem the utilities will report errors. 13610b327b63SRick Macklem 13625f25ee9cSBrooks Davis20141121: 13635f25ee9cSBrooks Davis The handling of LOCAL_LIB_DIRS has been altered to skip addition of 13645f25ee9cSBrooks Davis directories to top level SUBDIR variable when their parent 13655f25ee9cSBrooks Davis directory is included in LOCAL_DIRS. Users with build systems with 13665f25ee9cSBrooks Davis such hierarchies and without SUBDIR entries in the parent 13675f25ee9cSBrooks Davis directory Makefiles should add them or add the directories to 13685f25ee9cSBrooks Davis LOCAL_DIRS. 13695f25ee9cSBrooks Davis 1370603eaf79SAlexander V.

All CTL-related tools, such as ctladm 146638b72f8cSAlexander Motin and ctld, need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel. 146738b72f8cSAlexander Motin 1468727a7ce8SJulio Merino20140606: 1469727a7ce8SJulio Merino The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and 1470727a7ce8SJulio Merino 1 respectively to match the upstream numbers. They were out of 1471727a7ce8SJulio Merino sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the 1472727a7ce8SJulio Merino upstream versions were not respected. These libraries are private 1473727a7ce8SJulio Merino and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a 1474727a7ce8SJulio Merino non-issue. However, unclean source trees will yield broken test 1475727a7ce8SJulio Merino programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a 1476727a7ce8SJulio Merino "make installworld". 1477727a7ce8SJulio Merino 14788c7ec47aSJulio Merino Additionally, the atf-sh binary was made private by moving it into 14798c7ec47aSJulio Merino /usr/libexec/. Already-built shell test programs will keep the 14808c7ec47aSJulio Merino path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old" 14818c7ec47aSJulio Merino is run. 14828c7ec47aSJulio Merino 1483727a7ce8SJulio Merino If you are using WITH_TESTS=yes (not the default), wipe the object 1484727a7ce8SJulio Merino tree and rebuild from scratch to prevent spurious test failures. 14858c7ec47aSJulio Merino This is only needed once: the misnumbered libraries and misplaced 14868c7ec47aSJulio Merino binaries have been added to OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc so they will 14878c7ec47aSJulio Merino be removed during a clean upgrade. 1488727a7ce8SJulio Merino 148985d60e68SDimitry Andric20140512: 149085d60e68SDimitry Andric Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4.1 release. 149185d60e68SDimitry Andric 1492fa114234SWarner Losh20140508: 1493fa114234SWarner Losh We bogusly installed src.opts.mk in /usr/share/mk. This file should 1494fa114234SWarner Losh be removed to avoid issues in the future (and has been added to 1495fa114234SWarner Losh ObsoleteFiles.inc). 1496fa114234SWarner Losh 1497a46954e2SWarner Losh20140505: 1498a46954e2SWarner Losh /etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the 1499a46954e2SWarner Losh past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old 1500a46954e2SWarner Losh behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this 1501a46954e2SWarner Losh behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf 1502a46954e2SWarner Losh (which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the 1503a46954e2SWarner Losh behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual 150459a24370SWarner Losh directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that. 1505a46954e2SWarner Losh Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios, 150655b76981SWarner Losh other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of 150755b76981SWarner Losh temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld 150859a24370SWarner Losh as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this 150959a24370SWarner Losh setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree. 1510a46954e2SWarner Losh 1511bd871f14SWarner Losh One side effect of all this cleaning up is that bsd.compiler.mk 1512bd871f14SWarner Losh is no longer implicitly included by bsd.own.mk. If you wish to 1513bd871f14SWarner Losh use COMPILER_TYPE, you must now explicitly include bsd.compiler.mk 1514bd871f14SWarner Losh as well. 1515bd871f14SWarner Losh 1516461dbce2SEitan Adler20140430: 1517461dbce2SEitan Adler The lindev device has been removed since /dev/full has been made a 1518461dbce2SEitan Adler standard device. __FreeBSD_version has been bumped. 1519461dbce2SEitan Adler 1520e9aba509SEnji Cooper20140424: 1521e9aba509SEnji Cooper The knob WITHOUT_VI was added to the base system, which controls 1522e9aba509SEnji Cooper building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1) 1523e9aba509SEnji Cooper in order to reorder files share/termcap and didn't build ex(1) as a 1524e9aba509SEnji Cooper build tool, so building/installing with WITH_VI is highly advised for 1525e9aba509SEnji Cooper build hosts for older releases. 1526e9aba509SEnji Cooper 1527e9aba509SEnji Cooper This issue has been fixed in stable/9 and stable/10 in r277022 and 1528e9aba509SEnji Cooper r276991, respectively. 1529e9aba509SEnji Cooper 15302bb08298SWarner Losh20140418: 15312bb08298SWarner Losh The YES_HESIOD knob has been removed.

Previously the uart(4) driver prevented 15384c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL 15394c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make 15404c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar changes to the serial console port without having to reboot. 15414c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is 15424c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal 15434c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact. 15444c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the 15454c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to 1546086036aaSMarcel Moolenaar preserve the previous behaviour.

The incompatibility 15729f23d19aSDimitry Andric has now been fixed, but any C++ applications or shared libraries built 15739f23d19aSDimitry Andric between r261283 and r261801 should be recompiled. 15749f23d19aSDimitry Andric 15755e4b8b0dSXin LI20140204: 15765e4b8b0dSXin LI OpenSSH will now ignore errors caused by kernel lacking of Capsicum 15775e4b8b0dSXin LI capability mode support.

While generally safe, there are 1642456b5dd8SWarner Losh sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with 16431733d35cSRuslan Ermilov -j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there 1644456b5dd8SWarner Losh have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This 1645456b5dd8SWarner Losh is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one 1646456b5dd8SWarner Losh that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when 1647456b5dd8SWarner Losh several months have passed on the -current branch). 1648a24eff53SWarner Losh 16495780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 16505780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 1651456b5dd8SWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. To run 1652456b5dd8SWarner Losh your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make 1653456b5dd8SWarner Losh commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details. 16545780f3baSWarner Losh 16555ad05815SWarner Losh When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to 16565ad05815SWarner Losh upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then 16575ad05815SWarner Losh do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path, 16585ad05815SWarner Losh and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try this 16595ad05815SWarner Losh approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade. Since 166044c1484aSJens Schweikhardt the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from 16615ad05815SWarner Losh anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the 16625ad05815SWarner Losh last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's 16635ad05815SWarner Losh an exception. 1664081ff8acSDoug Barton 16656eeab389SWarner Losh When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before 1666da0e842aSWarner Losh installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell 1667da0e842aSWarner Losh around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your 1668da0e842aSWarner Losh starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade. 1669da0e842aSWarner Losh 16709c80b8aaSWarner Losh This file should be read as a log of events. When a later event changes 16719c80b8aaSWarner Losh information of a prior event, the prior event should not be deleted. 16729c80b8aaSWarner Losh Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be 16739c80b8aaSWarner Losh placed in the old entry. Readers of this file should also sanity check 16749c80b8aaSWarner Losh older entries before relying on them blindly.

At this point in the life 1768fdb9f54dSWarner Losh cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own 1769fdb9f54dSWarner Losh to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of 1770fdb9f54dSWarner Losh the UPDATING entries. 1771ba26da8eSWarner Losh 17721dece4a9SWarner Losh Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to 17731dece4a9SWarner Losh freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update 17741dece4a9SWarner Losh your sources that you have read and understood all the recent 17751dece4a9SWarner Losh messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has 17761dece4a9SWarner Losh much fewer pitfalls. 17771dece4a9SWarner Losh 1778134d2e86SWarner Losh [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you 1779134d2e86SWarner Losh should disable them at this point so they don't crash your 1780134d2e86SWarner Losh system on reboot. 1781134d2e86SWarner Losh 1782ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do 1783ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh fsck -p 1784ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -u / 1785ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -a 17866586253aSWarner Losh cd src 178747d0d01fSWarner Losh adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time 1788f6a0ef01SWarner Losh Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that 1789f6a0ef01SWarner Losh you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. 1790ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh 1791a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step 1792a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 1793a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 1794a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 1795a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 179650e8eca6SDoug Barton for potential gotchas. The -U option is also useful to consider. 179750e8eca6SDoug Barton See mergemaster(8) for more information. 1798a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 179944c1484aSJens Schweikhardt [5] Usually this step is a no-op. However, from time to time 1800835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 1801835284beSWarner Losh step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to 1802835284beSWarner Losh install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make 1803835284beSWarner Losh install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated 180420e0cc0aSBrooks Davis from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430. 1805835284beSWarner Losh 180694877c06SAlexander Leidinger [6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries 180794877c06SAlexander Leidinger can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make 180894877c06SAlexander Leidinger sure that no program is using those libraries anymore. 180994877c06SAlexander Leidinger 1810456b5dd8SWarner Losh [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to 1811456b5dd8SWarner Losh do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in 1812456b5dd8SWarner Losh your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is 1813456b5dd8SWarner Losh hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is 1814456b5dd8SWarner Losh required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. And so on 1815456b5dd8SWarner Losh for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7. 1816c74fe6afSWarner Losh 1817e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 1818e5dc5f61SWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. 1819e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1820e5f5a852SEitan Adler [9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 1821e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 1822e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 1823e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1824e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 1825e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 1826e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 1827dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 1828dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1829f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 1830630f2154SGlen Barberbreakages in tracking -current.
