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.

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".)

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). The format that syslogd(8) uses to
3008129693eSEd Schouten	store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems
3018129693eSEd Schouten	remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these
3028129693eSEd Schouten	purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the
3038129693eSEd Schouten	future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are
3048129693eSEd Schouten	thus expected to continue to function as before.
3058129693eSEd Schouten
3068129693eSEd Schouten	__FreeBSD_version has been incremented to 1200061 to denote this
3078129693eSEd Schouten	change.

31772bf324cSBenno Rice	The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for
31872bf324cSBenno Rice	release was updated to use this. This may mean that makefs must be
31972bf324cSBenno Rice	updated before "make cdrom" can be run in the release directory. This
32072bf324cSBenno Rice	should be as simple as:

556472c2b48SEd Maste	which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff
557472c2b48SEd Maste	from ports (and recommends to install it).
558472c2b48SEd Maste	To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the
559472c2b48SEd Maste	heirloom doctools roff toolchain from ports via pkg install groff or
560472c2b48SEd Maste	via pkg install heirloom-doctools.

5629949595eSAdrian Chadd20170524:
5639949595eSAdrian Chadd	The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
5649949595eSAdrian Chadd	smaller runtime footprint builds.  This is useful for embedded systems
5659949595eSAdrian Chadd	which only require one chipset support.
5669949595eSAdrian Chadd
5679949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
5689949595eSAdrian Chadd
5699949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath_load="YES"
5709949595eSAdrian Chadd
5719949595eSAdrian Chadd	This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
5729949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
5739949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
5749949595eSAdrian Chadd
5759949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
5769949595eSAdrian Chadd	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
5779949595eSAdrian Chadd
5789949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_hal
5799949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load the chip modules in question
5809949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
5819949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_main
5829949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
5839949595eSAdrian Chadd	  bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.

587b149eba4SEd Maste20170523:
588b149eba4SEd Maste	The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
589dcfffd04SEd Maste	a number of types to 64 bits.  Upgrading in place requires care and
590dcfffd04SEd Maste	adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
591dcfffd04SEd Maste
592dcfffd04SEd Maste	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
593dcfffd04SEd Maste	COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
594dcfffd04SEd Maste	system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
595dcfffd04SEd Maste
596dcfffd04SEd Maste	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
597dcfffd04SEd Maste	artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*".   Then, carefully follow the
598dcfffd04SEd Maste	full procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild
599dcfffd04SEd Maste	everything and install it on the current system."  Specifically,
600dcfffd04SEd Maste	a reboot is required after installing the new kernel before
601dcfffd04SEd Maste	installing world.

608a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin20170420:
609a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff has been replaced by a BSD licensed diff. Some features of GNU
610a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	diff has not been implemented, if those are needed a newer version of
611a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff is available via the diffutils package under the gdiff name.
612a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin
6135810e45bSCy Schubert20170413:
6145810e45bSCy Schubert	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
6155810e45bSCy Schubert	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
6165810e45bSCy Schubert	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
617a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
6185810e45bSCy Schubert	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
6195810e45bSCy Schubert	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
6200cad3ecaSCy Schubert	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
6215810e45bSCy Schubert
6221bf5e133SEd Maste20170407:
6231bf5e133SEd Maste	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
6241bf5e133SEd Maste	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be
6251bf5e133SEd Maste	installed. To continue using aarch64-binutils, set
6261bf5e133SEd Maste	CROSS_BINUTILS_PREFIX=/usr/local/aarch64-freebsd/bin .

62828da7a25SBryan Drewery20170405:
62928da7a25SBryan Drewery	The UDP optimization in entry 20160818 that added the sysctl
63028da7a25SBryan Drewery	net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast has been reverted.  L2 broadcast
63128da7a25SBryan Drewery	packets will no longer be treated as L3 broadcast packets.

6380458b265SEnji Cooper20170329:
6390458b265SEnji Cooper	The ctl.ko module no longer implements the iSCSI target frontend:
6400458b265SEnji Cooper	cfiscsi.ko does instead.
6410458b265SEnji Cooper
6420458b265SEnji Cooper	If building cfiscsi.ko as a kernel module, the module can be loaded
6430458b265SEnji Cooper	via one of the following methods:
6440458b265SEnji Cooper	- `cfiscsi_load="YES"` in loader.conf(5).
6450458b265SEnji Cooper	- Add `cfiscsi` to `$kld_list` in rc.conf(5).
6460458b265SEnji Cooper	- ctladm(8)/ctld(8), when compiled with iSCSI support
6470458b265SEnji Cooper	  (`WITH_ISCSI=yes` in src.conf(5))

65172dec079SMarius Strobl20170316:
65272dec079SMarius Strobl	The mmcsd.ko module now additionally depends on geom_flashmap.ko.
65372dec079SMarius Strobl	Also, mmc.ko and mmcsd.ko need to be a matching pair built from the
65472dec079SMarius Strobl	same source (previously, the dependency of mmcsd.ko on mmc.ko was
65572dec079SMarius Strobl	missing, but mmcsd.ko now will refuse to load if it is incompatible
65672dec079SMarius Strobl	with mmc.ko).

6586ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov20170315:
6596ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	The syntax of ipfw(8) named states was changed to avoid ambiguity.
6606ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	If you have used named states in the firewall rules, you need to modify
6616ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	them after installworld and before rebooting. Now named states must
6626ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	be prefixed with colon.

675e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	The code that provides support for ZFS .zfs/ directory functionality
676e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	has been reimplemented.  It's not possible now to create a snapshot
677e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	by mkdir under .zfs/snapshot/.  That should be the only user visible
678e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	change.

694062a4b8cSSean Bruno
695f2d6ace4SSean Bruno20170109:
696f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	The igb(4), em(4) and lem(4) ethernet drivers are now implemented via
697f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	IFLIB.  If you have a custom kernel configuration that excludes em(4)
698f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	but you use igb(4), you need to re-add em(4) to your custom configuration.

7104026b447SJustin Hibbits20161119:
7114026b447SJustin Hibbits	The layout of the pmap structure has changed for powerpc to put the pmap
7124026b447SJustin Hibbits	statistics at the front for all CPU variations.  libkvm(3) and all tools

715448897d3SAndriy Gapon20161030:
716448897d3SAndriy Gapon	isl(4) and cyapa(4) drivers now require a new driver,
717448897d3SAndriy Gapon	chromebook_platform(4), to work properly on Chromebook-class hardware.
718448897d3SAndriy Gapon	On other types of hardware the drivers may need to be configured using

744bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
745bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
746bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file

7651c828193SNavdeep Parhar20160824:
7661c828193SNavdeep Parhar	r304787 changed some ioctl interfaces between the iSCSI userspace
7671c828193SNavdeep Parhar	programs and the kernel.  ctladm, ctld, iscsictl, and iscsid must be

7713e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil20160818:
77241029db1SRyan Stone	The UDP receive code has been updated to only treat incoming UDP
77341029db1SRyan Stone	packets that were addressed to an L2 broadcast address as L3
77441029db1SRyan Stone	broadcast packets.  It is not expected that this will affect any

787678243ffSBrooks Davis	The libc stub for the pipe(2) system call has been replaced with
788f0db8553SBrooks Davis	a wrapper that calls the pipe2(2) system call and the pipe(2)
789f0db8553SBrooks Davis	system call is now only implemented by the kernels that include
790f0db8553SBrooks Davis	"options COMPAT_FREEBSD10" in their config file (this is the
791f0db8553SBrooks Davis	default).  Users should ensure that this option is enabled in

795583febf4SAlan Somers20160527:
796583febf4SAlan Somers	CAM will now strip leading spaces from SCSI disks' serial numbers.
797fb9b2ab1SBryan Drewery	This will affect users who create UFS filesystems on SCSI disks using
798583febf4SAlan Somers	those disk's diskid device nodes.  For example, if /etc/fstab
799583febf4SAlan Somers	previously contained a line like
800583febf4SAlan Somers	"/dev/diskid/DISK-%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ABCDEFG0123456", you should
801583febf4SAlan Somers	change it to "/dev/diskid/DISK-ABCDEFG0123456".  Users of geom

8172c0e9e2aSWarner Losh20160517:
8182c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	The armv6 port now defaults to hard float ABI. Limited support
8192c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	for running both hardfloat and soft float on the same system
8202c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	is available using the libraries installed with -DWITH_LIBSOFT.

8325f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	modules built this way (such as those in ports) already overrode
8335f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	KMODDIR explicitly to install into /boot/modules.  However,
8345f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	manually building and installing a module from /sys/modules will
8355f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	now install to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.

838a1743365SWarner Losh	The CAM I/O scheduler has been committed to the kernel. There should be
839a1743365SWarner Losh	no user visible impact. This does enable NCQ Trim on ada SSDs. While the
840a1743365SWarner Losh	list of known rogues that claim support for this but actually corrupt
841a1743365SWarner Losh	data is believed to be complete, be on the lookout for data
842a1743365SWarner Losh	corruption. The known rogue list is believed to be complete:
843a1743365SWarner Losh
844a1743365SWarner Losh		o Crucial MX100, M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
845a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M510 and M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
846a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M500 prior to MU07 firmware
847a1743365SWarner Losh		o Samsung 830, 840, and 850 all firmwares
848a1743365SWarner Losh		o FCCT M500 all firmwares
849a1743365SWarner Losh
850a1743365SWarner Losh	Crucial has firmware http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware
851a1743365SWarner Losh	with working NCQ TRIM. For Micron branded drives, see your sales rep for
852a1743365SWarner Losh	updated firmware. Black listed drives will work correctly because these
853a1743365SWarner Losh	drives work correctly so long as no NCQ TRIMs are sent to them. Given
854a1743365SWarner Losh	this list is the same as found in Linux, it's believed there are no
855a1743365SWarner Losh	other rogues in the market place. All other models from the above
856a1743365SWarner Losh	vendors work.
857a1743365SWarner Losh
858a1743365SWarner Losh	To be safe, if you are at all concerned, you can quirk each of your
859a1743365SWarner Losh	drives to prevent NCQ from being sent by setting:
860a1743365SWarner Losh		kern.cam.ada.X.quirks="0x2"
861a1743365SWarner Losh	in loader.conf. If the drive requires the 4k sector quirk, set the

864497e8091SBryan Drewery20160330:
865497e8091SBryan Drewery	The FAST_DEPEND build option has been removed and its functionality is
866497e8091SBryan Drewery	now the one true way.  The old mkdep(1) style of 'make depend' has
867497e8091SBryan Drewery	been removed.  See 20160311 for further details.
868497e8091SBryan Drewery
869da1b038aSJustin Hibbits20160317:
870da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	Resource range types have grown from unsigned long to uintmax_t.  All
871da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	drivers, and anything using libdevinfo, need to be recompiled.
872da1b038aSJustin Hibbits
873d783b170SBryan Drewery20160311:
874d783b170SBryan Drewery	WITH_FAST_DEPEND is now enabled by default for in-tree and out-of-tree
875d783b170SBryan Drewery	builds.  It no longer runs mkdep(1) during 'make depend', and the
876d783b170SBryan Drewery	'make depend' stage can safely be skipped now as it is auto ran
877d783b170SBryan Drewery	when building 'make all' and will generate all SRCS and DPSRCS before
878d783b170SBryan Drewery	building anything else.  Dependencies are gathered at compile time with
879d783b170SBryan Drewery	-MF flags kept in separate .depend files per object file.  Users should
880d783b170SBryan Drewery	run 'make cleandepend' once if using -DNO_CLEAN to clean out older
881d783b170SBryan Drewery	stale .depend files.

883c834228bSDimitry Andric20160306:
884c834228bSDimitry Andric	On amd64, clang 3.8.0 can now insert sections of type AMD64_UNWIND into
885c834228bSDimitry Andric	kernel modules.  Therefore, if you load any kernel modules at boot time,
886c834228bSDimitry Andric	please install the boot loaders after you install the kernel, but before
887c834228bSDimitry Andric	rebooting, e.g.:
888c834228bSDimitry Andric
889c834228bSDimitry Andric	make buildworld
890779f392bSJohn Baldwin	make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

898e74e149fSDimitry Andric20160305:
899e74e149fSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb and compiler-rt have been upgraded to 3.8.0.  Please
900e74e149fSDimitry Andric	see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and

9038b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin20160301:
9048b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	The AIO subsystem is now a standard part of the kernel.  The
9058b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	VFS_AIO kernel option and aio.ko kernel module have been removed.
9068b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	Due to stability concerns, asynchronous I/O requests are only
9078b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	permitted on sockets and raw disks by default.  To enable
9088b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	asynchronous I/O requests on all file types, set the
9098b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl to a non-zero value.

911de463b29SEd Maste20160226:
912ca8b902aSEd Maste	The ELF object manipulation tool objcopy is now provided by the
913ca8b902aSEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain project rather than by GNU binutils. It should be a
914ca8b902aSEd Maste	drop-in replacement, with the addition of arm64 support. The
915ca8b902aSEd Maste	(temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set
916ca8b902aSEd Maste	to obtain the GNU version if necessary.

918d4b9233aSAlan Somers20160129:
919d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Building ZFS pools on top of zvols is prohibited by default.  That
920d4b9233aSAlan Somers	feature has never worked safely; it's always been prone to deadlocks.
921d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Using a zvol as the backing store for a VM guest's virtual disk will
922d4b9233aSAlan Somers	still work, even if the guest is using ZFS.  Legacy behavior can be
923d4b9233aSAlan Somers	restored by setting vfs.zfs.vol.recursive=1.

9293bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo20160113:
9303bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	With the addition of ypldap(8), a new _ypldap user is now required
9313bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add the user
9323bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.

9344d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin20151216:
9354d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	The tftp loader (pxeboot) now uses the option root-path directive. As a
9364d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	consequence it no longer looks for a pxeboot.4th file on the tftp
9374d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	server. Instead it uses the regular /boot infrastructure as with the
9384d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	other loaders.

940ca7e5285SWarner Losh20151211:
941ca7e5285SWarner Losh	The code to start recording plug and play data into the modules has
942ca7e5285SWarner Losh	been committed. While the old tools will properly build a new kernel,
943ca7e5285SWarner Losh	a number of warnings about "unknown metadata record 4" will be produced
944ca7e5285SWarner Losh	for an older kldxref. To avoid such warnings, make sure to rebuild
945ca7e5285SWarner Losh	the kernel toolchain (or world). Make sure that you have r292078 or
946ca7e5285SWarner Losh	later when trying to build 292077 or later before rebuilding.
947ca7e5285SWarner Losh
948015dfda6SEd Maste20151207:
949015dfda6SEd Maste	Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
950015dfda6SEd Maste	installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
951015dfda6SEd Maste	requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
952015dfda6SEd Maste	world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
953015dfda6SEd Maste	in src.conf(5).

95533ba1088SRick Macklem20151130:
95633ba1088SRick Macklem	r291527 changed the internal interface between the nfsd.ko and
95733ba1088SRick Macklem	nfscommon.ko modules. As such, they must both be upgraded to-gether.
95833ba1088SRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
95933ba1088SRick Macklem
960af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin20151108:
961af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	Add support for unicode collation strings leads to a change of
962af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	order of files listed by ls(1) for example. To get back to the old
963af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	behaviour, set LC_COLLATE environment variable to "C".
964af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin
9650492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	Databases administrators will need to reindex their databases given
9660492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	collation results will be different.
9670492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin
96810b5202eSBaptiste Daroussin	Due to a bug in install(1) it is recommended to remove the ancient

977ebda5173SAlexander Motin20151020:
978ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Qlogic 24xx/25xx firmware images were updated from 5.5.0 to 7.3.0.
979ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Kernel modules isp_2400_multi and isp_2500_multi were removed and
980ebda5173SAlexander Motin	should be replaced with isp_2400 and isp_2500 modules respectively.
981ebda5173SAlexander Motin
98256585ab5SBryan Drewery20151017:
98356585ab5SBryan Drewery	The build previously allowed using 'make -n' to not recurse into
98456585ab5SBryan Drewery	sub-directories while showing what commands would be executed, and
98556585ab5SBryan Drewery	'make -n -n' to recursively show commands.  Now 'make -n' will recurse
98656585ab5SBryan Drewery	and 'make -N' will not.
98756585ab5SBryan Drewery
988ff446b05SPeter Wemm20151012:
989ff446b05SPeter Wemm	If you specify SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF in make.conf, mergemaster
990ff446b05SPeter Wemm	and etcupdate will now use this file. A custom sendmail.cf is now
991ff446b05SPeter Wemm	updated via this mechanism rather than via installworld.  If you had
992ff446b05SPeter Wemm	excluded sendmail.cf in mergemaster.rc or etcupdate.conf, you may
993ff446b05SPeter Wemm	want to remove the exclusion or change it to "always install".
994ff446b05SPeter Wemm	/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is now managed the same way regardless of
995ff446b05SPeter Wemm	whether SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF is used.  If you are not using
996ff446b05SPeter Wemm	SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF there should be no change in behavior.
997ff446b05SPeter Wemm
9984a3760baSAlexander Motin20151011:
9994a3760baSAlexander Motin	Compatibility shims for legacy ATA device names have been removed.
10004a3760baSAlexander Motin	It includes ATA_STATIC_ID kernel option, kern.cam.ada.legacy_aliases

10095882166bSEd Maste20150924:
101005117b57SEd Maste	Kernel debug files have been moved to /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/,
101105117b57SEd Maste	and renamed from .symbols to .debug. This reduces the size requirements
101205117b57SEd Maste	on the boot partition or file system and provides consistency with
101305117b57SEd Maste	userland debug files.
101405117b57SEd Maste
101505117b57SEd Maste	When using the supported kernel installation method the
101605117b57SEd Maste	/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel directory will be renamed (to kernel.old)
101705117b57SEd Maste	as is done with /boot/kernel.
101805117b57SEd Maste
101905117b57SEd Maste	Developers wishing to maintain the historical behavior of installing

102264b3b4d6SKristof Provost20150827:
10238ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	The wireless drivers had undergone changes that remove the 'parent
10248ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	interface' from the ifconfig -l output. The rc.d network scripts
10258ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	used to check presence of a parent interface in the list, so old
10268ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	scripts would fail to start wireless networking. Thus, etcupdate(3)
10278ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	or mergemaster(8) run is required after kernel update, to update your
10288ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	rc.d scripts in /etc.

1035646041a8SMark Murray20150817:
1036646041a8SMark Murray	Kernel-loadable modules for the random(4) device are back. To use
1037646041a8SMark Murray	them, the kernel must have

1041646041a8SMark Murray
1042646041a8SMark Murray	kldload(8) can then be used to load random_fortuna.ko
1043646041a8SMark Murray	or random_yarrow.ko. Please note that due to the indirect
1044646041a8SMark Murray	function calls that the loadable modules need to provide,
1045646041a8SMark Murray	the build-in variants will be slightly more efficient.
1046646041a8SMark Murray
1047646041a8SMark Murray	The random(4) kernel option RANDOM_DUMMY has been retired due to
1048646041a8SMark Murray	unpopularity. It was not all that useful anyway.

1055e7dbaf58SIan Lepore20150810:
1056e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	The polarity of Pulse Per Second (PPS) capture events with the
1057e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	uart(4) driver has been corrected.  Prior to this change the PPS
1058e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	"assert" event corresponded to the trailing edge of a positive PPS
1059e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	pulse and the "clear" event was the leading edge of the next pulse.
1060e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1061e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	As the width of a PPS pulse in a typical GPS receiver is on the
1062e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	order of 1 millisecond, most users will not notice any significant
1063e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	difference with this change.
1064e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1065e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	Anyone who has compensated for the historical polarity reversal by
1066e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	configuring a negative offset equal to the pulse width will need to
1067e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	remove that workaround.

10871635369eSSteven Hartland20150728:
108868d5f492SSteven Hartland	As ZFS requires more kernel stack pages than is the default on some
10891635369eSSteven Hartland	architectures e.g. i386, it now warns if KSTACK_PAGES is less than

1095ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro20150706:
1096ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail has been updated to 8.15.2.  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

1105ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'.  To return to the old
1106ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	behavior, set the m4 option confUSE_COMPRESSED_IPV6_ADDRESSES or

1110d1b06863SMark Murray	The default kernel entropy-processing algorithm is now
1111d1b06863SMark Murray	Fortuna, replacing Yarrow.
11126f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1113d1b06863SMark Murray	Assuming you have 'device random' in your kernel config
1114d1b06863SMark Murray	file, the configurations allow a kernel option to override
1115d1b06863SMark Murray	this default. You may choose *ONE* of:
11166f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1117d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_YARROW	# Legacy /dev/random algorithm.
1118d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_DUMMY	# Blocking-only driver.
11196f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1120d1b06863SMark Murray	If you have neither, you get Fortuna.  For most people,
1121d1b06863SMark Murray	read no further, Fortuna will give a /dev/random that works
1122d1b06863SMark Murray	like it always used to, and the difference will be irrelevant.
11236f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1124d1b06863SMark Murray	If you remove 'device random', you get *NO* kernel-processed
112502dcb6e0SEitan Adler	entropy at all. This may be acceptable to folks building
1126d1b06863SMark Murray	embedded systems, but has complications. Carry on reading,
1127d1b06863SMark Murray	and it is assumed you know what you need.
1128d1b06863SMark Murray
1129d1b06863SMark Murray	*PLEASE* read random(4) and random(9) if you are in the
113002dcb6e0SEitan Adler	habit of tweaking kernel configs, and/or if you are a member
1131d1b06863SMark Murray	of the embedded community, wanting specific and not-usual
1132d1b06863SMark Murray	behaviour from your security subsystems.
1133d1b06863SMark Murray
1134d1b06863SMark Murray	NOTE!! 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.

1293143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm and lldb have been upgraded to 3.5.0 release.
1294143c11b4SDimitry Andric
12950ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	As of this release, a prerequisite for building clang, llvm and lldb is
12960ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	a C++11 capable compiler and C++11 standard library.  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.

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.

148985d60e68SDimitry Andric20140512:

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.

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.

15302bb08298SWarner Losh20140418:
15312bb08298SWarner Losh	The YES_HESIOD knob has been removed. It has been obsolete for
15322bb08298SWarner Losh	a decade. Please move to using WITH_HESIOD instead or your builds
15332bb08298SWarner Losh	will silently lack HESIOD.

15354c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar20140405:
15364c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
15374c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	of the low-level console. 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. E.g:
15474c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	    ttyu0  "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"  vt100  on  secure

1549ea9ed3d8SAlexander Motin20140306:

1554a9fd2218SWarner Losh20140226:
1555a9fd2218SWarner Losh	Switched back to the GPL dtc compiler due to updates in the upstream
1556a9fd2218SWarner Losh	dts files not being supported by the BSDL dtc compiler. You will need
1557a9fd2218SWarner Losh	to rebuild your kernel toolchain to pick up the new compiler. Core dumps
1558a9fd2218SWarner Losh	may result while building dtb files during a kernel build if you fail
1559a9fd2218SWarner Losh	to do so. Set WITHOUT_GPL_DTC if you require the BSDL compiler.

15689f23d19aSDimitry Andric20140212:
15699f23d19aSDimitry Andric	An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
15709f23d19aSDimitry Andric	This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built
15719f23d19aSDimitry Andric	against the previous version of libc++ to crash.  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.

15755e4b8b0dSXin LI20140204:
15765e4b8b0dSXin LI	OpenSSH will now ignore errors caused by kernel lacking of Capsicum
15775e4b8b0dSXin LI	capability mode support.  Please note that enabling the feature in
15785e4b8b0dSXin LI	kernel is still highly recommended.

15805e4b8b0dSXin LI20140131:
15815e4b8b0dSXin LI	OpenSSH is now built with sandbox support, and will use sandbox as

15872e503d34SKai Wang	versions from upstream. Shared library version numbers for
15882e503d34SKai Wang	these two libraries were bumped. Any ports or binaries
15892e503d34SKai Wang	requiring these two libraries should be recompiled.

1592d7efee23SJulio Merino20140110:
1593d7efee23SJulio Merino	If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile
1594d7efee23SJulio Merino	instead of providing an explicit one, this would prevent such
1595d7efee23SJulio Merino	Makefile from providing its own Kyuafile in the future during
1596d7efee23SJulio Merino	NO_CLEAN builds.  This has been fixed in the Makefiles but manual
1597d7efee23SJulio Merino	intervention is needed to clean an objdir if you use NO_CLEAN:

16002773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk20131213:
16012773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The behavior of gss_pseudo_random() for the krb5 mechanism
16022773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	has changed, for applications requesting a longer random string
16032773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.
16042773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	In particular, the random string produced from a session key of
16052773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	enctype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 or aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 will
16062773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	be different at the 17th octet and later, after this change.
16072773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The counter used in the PRF+ construction is now encoded as a

1612e01d128aSJulio Merino	The WITHOUT_ATF build knob has been removed and its functionality
1613e01d128aSJulio Merino	has been subsumed into the more generic WITHOUT_TESTS.  If you were
1614e01d128aSJulio Merino	using the former to disable the build of the ATF libraries, you

1641456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Avoid using make -j when upgrading.  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. Authors of new entries
16759c80b8aaSWarner Losh	should write them with this in mind.

16778fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
16788fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
16798fc25799SMartin Matuska	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
16808fc25799SMartin Matuska	these two steps:
16818fc25799SMartin Matuska
16828fc25799SMartin Matuska	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
16838fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
16848fc25799SMartin Matuska
16858fc25799SMartin Matuska	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
16868fc25799SMartin Matuska
16878fc25799SMartin Matuska	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first
168872ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
168972ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0"
16908fc25799SMartin Matuska
16918fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.

1693dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	To build a kernel
1694dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	-----------------
1695ba01eb20SWarner Losh	If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
16961cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
16971cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
16981cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien
16991cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	make kernel-toolchain
1700282e0f01SRuslan Ermilov	make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1701282e0f01SRuslan Ermilov	make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1702dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh
17032e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	To test a kernel once
17042e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	---------------------
17052e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
17062e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
17072e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	debugging information) run
17082e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
17092e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	nextboot -k testkernel

1712ba01eb20SWarner Losh	-----------------------------------------------------------
171363cb445eSWarner Losh	# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
171463cb445eSWarner Losh	# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.

1728f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	To cross-install current onto a separate partition
1729f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	--------------------------------------------------
1730f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1731f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories.   A partition
1732f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
1733f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# size.

175215974d55SGavin Atkinson	To upgrade in-place from stable to current
1753f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	----------------------------------------------
1754f643de42SWarner Losh	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>

1764ba26da8eSWarner Losh	<reboot>
1765ba26da8eSWarner Losh
1766fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1767fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  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.
