These features attempt to detect incorrect use of 15456b5dd8SWarner Losh system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity 16456b5dd8SWarner Losh checking and fail stop semantics. They also substantially impact 17456b5dd8SWarner Losh system performance. If you want to do performance measurement, 18456b5dd8SWarner Losh benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off. This 19456b5dd8SWarner Losh includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc 20456b5dd8SWarner Losh debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the 21456b5dd8SWarner Losh kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build 22456b5dd8SWarner Losh machines to maximize performance. (To disable malloc debugging, run 236bea5c3cSTom Rhodes ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf.) 24efc06131SSam Leffler 25*39bc9de5SLawrence Stewart20101228: 26*39bc9de5SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has been modified to allow Khelp modules to interact with 27*39bc9de5SLawrence Stewart it via helper hook points and store per-connection data in the TCP 28*39bc9de5SLawrence Stewart control block. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900029. User space tools that 29*39bc9de5SLawrence Stewart rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to 30*39bc9de5SLawrence Stewart be recompiled. 31*39bc9de5SLawrence Stewart 32efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl20101114: 33efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control support has been 34efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl added to mii(4) and bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along 35efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy() have been converted 36efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl to take advantage of it instead of using custom implementations. This 37efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl means that these drivers now no longer unconditionally advertise 38efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl support for flow control but only do so if flow control is a selected 39efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl media option. This was implemented in the generic support that way in 40efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl order to allow flow control to be switched on and off via ifconfig(8) 41efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with the PHY specific default to typically off in order to protect 42efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl from unwanted effects. Consequently, if you used flow control with 43efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl one of the above mentioned drivers you now need to explicitly enable 44efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl it, for example via: 45efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media auto mediaopt flowcontrol 46efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 47efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Along with the above mentioned changes generic support for setting 48efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 1000baseT master mode also has been added and brgphy(4), ciphy(4), 49efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy(4) have been converted to take 50efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl advantage of it. This means that these drivers now no longer take the 51efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl link0 parameter for selecting master mode but the master media option 52efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl has to be used instead, for example like in the following: 53efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master 54efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 55efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Selection of master mode now is also available with all other PHY 56efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl drivers supporting 1000baseT. 57efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 58dbc42409SLawrence Stewart20101111: 59dbc42409SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has received a significant update to add support for 60dbc42409SLawrence Stewart modularised congestion control and generally improve the clarity of 61dbc42409SLawrence Stewart congestion control decisions. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025. User 62dbc42409SLawrence Stewart space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. 63dbc42409SLawrence Stewart sockstat) need to be recompiled. 64dbc42409SLawrence Stewart 65fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow20101002: 66fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow The man(1) utility has been replaced by a new version that no longer 67fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow uses /etc/manpath.config. Please consult man.conf(5) for how to 68fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow migrate local entries to the new format. 69fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow 70337299c6SEd Maste20100928: 71337299c6SEd Maste The copyright strings printed by login(1) and sshd(8) at the time of a 72337299c6SEd Maste new connection have been removed to follow other operating systems and 73337299c6SEd Maste upstream sshd. 74337299c6SEd Maste 75f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon20100915: 76f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon A workaround for a fixed ld bug has been removed in kernel code, 77f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon so make sure that your system ld is built from sources after 78130a0815SAndriy Gapon revision 210245 from 2010-07-19 (r211583 if building head kernel 79130a0815SAndriy Gapon on stable/8, r211584 for stable/7; both from 2010-08-21). 80130a0815SAndriy Gapon A symptom of incorrect ld version is different addresses for 81130a0815SAndriy Gapon set_pcpu section and __start_set_pcpu symbol in kernel and/or modules. 82f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon 83d69eb520SRui Paulo20100913: 84d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_prefer variable in rc.conf(5) has been split into 85d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato $ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces. 86d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 87d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined 88d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato address selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8). A value 89d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato "ipv4_prefer", "ipv6_prefer" or "AUTO" can be specified. The 90d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato default is "AUTO". 91d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 92d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces specifies whether IFDISABLED 93d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato flag (see an entry of 20090926) is set on an interface with no 94d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line. The default is "NO" for 95d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato security reason. If you want IPv6 link-local address on all 96d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato interfaces by default, set this to "YES". 97d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 98d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The old ipv6_prefer="YES" is equivalent to 99d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" and 100d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer". 101d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 102d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato20100913: 103d69eb520SRui Paulo DTrace has grown support for userland tracing. Due to this, DTrace is 104d69eb520SRui Paulo now i386 and amd64 only. 105d69eb520SRui Paulo dtruss(1) is now installed by default on those systems and a new 106d69eb520SRui Paulo kernel module is needed for userland tracing: fasttrap. 107d69eb520SRui Paulo No changes to your kernel config file are necessary to enable 108d69eb520SRui Paulo userland tracing, but you might consider adding 'STRIP=' and 109d69eb520SRui Paulo 'CFLAGS+=-fno-omit-frame-pointer' to your make.conf if you want 110d69eb520SRui Paulo to have informative userland stack traces in DTrace (ustack). 111d69eb520SRui Paulo 11240650455SRui Paulo20100725: 11340650455SRui Paulo The acpi_aiboost(4) driver has been removed in favor of the new 11440650455SRui Paulo aibs(4) driver. You should update your kernel configuration file. 11540650455SRui Paulo 1164dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan20100722: 1174dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan BSD grep has been imported to the base system and it is built by 1184dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan default. It is completely BSD licensed, highly GNU-compatible, uses 1194dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan less memory than its GNU counterpart and has a small codebase. 1204dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan However, it is slower than its GNU counterpart, which is mostly 1214dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan noticeable for larger searches, for smaller ones it is measurable 1224dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan but not significant. The reason is complex, the most important factor 1234dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan is that we lack a modern and efficient regex library and GNU 1244dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan overcomes this by optimizing the searches internally. Future work 1254dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan on improving the regex performance is planned, for the meantime, 1264dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan users that need better performance, can build GNU grep instead by 1274dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan setting the WITH_GNU_GREP knob. 1282965a453SKip Macy 1298fc25799SMartin Matuska20100713: 130c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn Due to the import of powerpc64 support, all existing powerpc kernel 131c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn configuration files must be updated with a machine directive like this: 132c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn machine powerpc powerpc 133c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 134c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn In addition, an updated config(8) is required to build powerpc kernels 135c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn after this change. 136c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 137c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn20100713: 1388fc25799SMartin Matuska A new version of ZFS (version 15) has been merged to -HEAD. 1398fc25799SMartin Matuska This version uses a python library for the following subcommands: 1408fc25799SMartin Matuska zfs allow, zfs unallow, zfs groupspace, zfs userspace. 1418fc25799SMartin Matuska For full functionality of these commands the following port must 1428fc25799SMartin Matuska be installed: sysutils/py-zfs 1438fc25799SMartin Matuska 1442965a453SKip Macy20100429: 1452965a453SKip Macy 'vm_page's are now hashed by physical address to an array of mutexes. 1462965a453SKip Macy Currently this is only used to serialize access to hold_count. Over 1472965a453SKip Macy time the page queue mutex will be peeled away. This changes the size 1482965a453SKip Macy of pmap on every architecture. And requires all callers of vm_page_hold 1492965a453SKip Macy and vm_page_unhold to be updated. 1502965a453SKip Macy 15121edb039SAlexander Leidinger20100402: 15221edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there 15321edb039SAlexander Leidinger are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also 15421edb039SAlexander Leidinger affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the 15521edb039SAlexander Leidinger compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions 15621edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF=yes"). 15721edb039SAlexander Leidinger When WITH_CTF was specified there before this was silently ignored, 15821edb039SAlexander Leidinger so make sure that WITH_CTF is not used in places which could lead 15921edb039SAlexander Leidinger to unwanted behavior. 16021edb039SAlexander Leidinger 161841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn20100311: 162841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn The kernel option COMPAT_IA32 has been replaced with COMPAT_FREEBSD32 163841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn to allow 32-bit compatibility on non-x86 platforms. All kernel 164841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn configurations on amd64 and ia64 platforms using these options must 165841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn be modified accordingly. 166841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn 167279d8efeSEd Schouten20100113: 168279d8efeSEd Schouten The utmp user accounting database has been replaced with utmpx, 169279d8efeSEd Schouten the user accounting interface standardized by POSIX. 170279d8efeSEd Schouten Unfortunately the semantics of utmp and utmpx don't match, 171279d8efeSEd Schouten making it practically impossible to support both interfaces. 172279d8efeSEd Schouten The user accounting database is used by tools like finger(1), 173279d8efeSEd Schouten last(1), talk(1), w(1) and ac(8). 174279d8efeSEd Schouten 175279d8efeSEd Schouten All applications in the base system use utmpx. This means only 176279d8efeSEd Schouten local binaries (e.g. from the ports tree) may still use these 177279d8efeSEd Schouten utmp database files. These applications must be rebuilt to make 178279d8efeSEd Schouten use of utmpx. 179279d8efeSEd Schouten 180279d8efeSEd Schouten After the system has been upgraded, it is safe to remove the old 181279d8efeSEd Schouten log files (/var/run/utmp, /var/log/lastlog and /var/log/wtmp*), 1825ab7f1fcSEd Schouten assuming their contents is of no importance anymore. Old wtmp 1835ab7f1fcSEd Schouten databases can only be used by last(1) and ac(8) after they have 1845ab7f1fcSEd Schouten been converted to the new format using wtmpcvt(1). 185279d8efeSEd Schouten 186f7829d0dSAttilio Rao20100108: 187f7829d0dSAttilio Rao Introduce the kernel thread "deadlock resolver" (which can be enabled 188f7829d0dSAttilio Rao via the DEADLKRES option, see NOTES for more details) and the 189f7829d0dSAttilio Rao sleepq_type() function for sleepqueues. 190f7829d0dSAttilio Rao 191f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO20091202: 192f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO The rc.firewall and rc.firewall6 were unified, and 193f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO rc.firewall6 and rc.d/ip6fw were removed. 194f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO According to the removal of rc.d/ip6fw, ipv6_firewall_* rc 195f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO variables are obsoleted. Instead, the following new rc 196f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO variables are added to rc.d/ipfw: 197f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO 198f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO firewall_client_net_ipv6, firewall_simple_iif_ipv6, 199f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO firewall_simple_inet_ipv6, firewall_simple_oif_ipv6, 200f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO firewall_simple_onet_ipv6, firewall_trusted_ipv6 201f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO 202f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO The meanings correspond to the relevant IPv4 variables. 203f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO 204e409c5c8SChristian Brueffer20091125: 205e409c5c8SChristian Brueffer 8.0-RELEASE. 206e409c5c8SChristian Brueffer 207e42fc368SEd Schouten20091113: 208e42fc368SEd Schouten The default terminal emulation for syscons(4) has been changed 2094b2361f8SEd Schouten from cons25 to xterm on all platforms except pc98. This means 2104b2361f8SEd Schouten that the /etc/ttys file needs to be updated to ensure correct 2114b2361f8SEd Schouten operation of applications on the console. 212e42fc368SEd Schouten 213e42fc368SEd Schouten The terminal emulation style can be toggled per window by using 2144b2361f8SEd Schouten vidcontrol(1)'s -T flag. The TEKEN_CONS25 kernel configuration 2154b2361f8SEd Schouten options can be used to change the compile-time default back to 2164b2361f8SEd Schouten cons25. 217e42fc368SEd Schouten 218e42fc368SEd Schouten To prevent graphical artifacts, make sure the TERM environment 219e42fc368SEd Schouten variable is set to match the terminal emulation that is being 220e42fc368SEd Schouten performed by syscons(4). 221e42fc368SEd Schouten 22207ddebb5SRui Paulo20091109: 22307ddebb5SRui Paulo The layout of the structure ieee80211req_scan_result has changed. 22407ddebb5SRui Paulo Applications that require wireless scan results (e.g. ifconfig(8)) 22507ddebb5SRui Paulo from net80211 need to be recompiled. 22607ddebb5SRui Paulo 22796b4300cSDoug Barton Applications such as wpa_supplicant(8) may require a full world 22896b4300cSDoug Barton build without using NO_CLEAN in order to get synchronized with the 22996b4300cSDoug Barton new structure. 23096b4300cSDoug Barton 23163b49c2bSRui Paulo20091025: 23263b49c2bSRui Paulo The iwn(4) driver has been updated to support the 5000 and 5150 series. 23363b49c2bSRui Paulo There's one kernel module for each firmware. Adding "device iwnfw" 23463b49c2bSRui Paulo to the kernel configuration file means including all three firmware 23563b49c2bSRui Paulo images inside the kernel. If you want to include just the one for 23663b49c2bSRui Paulo your wireless card, use the the devices iwn4965fw, iwn5000fw or 23763b49c2bSRui Paulo iwn5150fw. 23863b49c2bSRui Paulo 2392e77c5abSHiroki Sato20090926: 2402e77c5abSHiroki Sato The rc.d/network_ipv6, IPv6 configuration script has been integrated 2412e77c5abSHiroki Sato into rc.d/netif. The changes are the following: 2422e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2432e77c5abSHiroki Sato 1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF 2442e77c5abSHiroki Sato for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used. 2452e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head. 2462e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2472e77c5abSHiroki Sato Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not 2482e77c5abSHiroki Sato understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases. 2492e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2502e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but 2512e77c5abSHiroki Sato they are obsolete. 2522e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2532e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and 2542e77c5abSHiroki Sato "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead. 2552e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2562e77c5abSHiroki Sato If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and 2572e77c5abSHiroki Sato all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the 2582e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility. 2592e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2602e77c5abSHiroki Sato 3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6 2612e77c5abSHiroki Sato functionality of interfaces with no corresponding 2622e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag, 2632e77c5abSHiroki Sato and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8) 2642e77c5abSHiroki Sato is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details). 2652e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the 2662e77c5abSHiroki Sato disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by 2672e77c5abSHiroki Sato using ifconfig(8) like: 2682e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2692e77c5abSHiroki Sato ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled 2702e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2712e77c5abSHiroki Sato If YES, the default address selection policy is set as 2722e77c5abSHiroki Sato IPv6-preferred. 2732e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2742e77c5abSHiroki Sato The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO. 2752e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2762e77c5abSHiroki Sato 4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages, 2772e77c5abSHiroki Sato define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8) 2782e77c5abSHiroki Sato scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes 2792e77c5abSHiroki Sato UP. The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC 2802e77c5abSHiroki Sato (State-Less Address AutoConfiguration). 2812e77c5abSHiroki Sato 282350036a0SRui Paulo20090922: 283350036a0SRui Paulo 802.11s D3.03 support was committed.

As long as no more than 16 groups per process are used, 367456b5dd8SWarner Losh no changes should be visible. When more than 16 groups are used, old 368456b5dd8SWarner Losh binaries may fail if they call getgroups() or getgrouplist() with 369456b5dd8SWarner Losh statically sized storage. Recompiling will work around this, but 370456b5dd8SWarner Losh applications should be modified to use dynamically allocated storage 371456b5dd8SWarner Losh for group arrays as POSIX.1-2008 does not cap an implementation's 372456b5dd8SWarner Losh number of supported groups at NGROUPS_MAX+1 as previous versions did. 373838d9858SBrooks Davis 374456b5dd8SWarner Losh NFS and portalfs mounts may also be affected as the list of groups is 375456b5dd8SWarner Losh truncated to 16. Users of NFS who use more than 16 groups, should 376456b5dd8SWarner Losh take care that negative group permissions are not used on the exported 377456b5dd8SWarner Losh file systems as they will not be reliable unless a GSSAPI based 378456b5dd8SWarner Losh authentication method is used. 379838d9858SBrooks Davis 380651175c9SAttilio Rao20090616: 381456b5dd8SWarner Losh The compiling option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS has been introduced.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 47033cde130SBruce M Simpson The implementation of SSM within FreeBSD's IPv6 stack closely 47133cde130SBruce M Simpson follows the IPv4 implementation. 47233cde130SBruce M Simpson 47333cde130SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers: 47433cde130SBruce M Simpson 47533cde130SBruce M Simpson * The most important changes are that the ip6_output() and 47633cde130SBruce M Simpson ip6_input() paths no longer take the IN6_MULTI_LOCK, 47733cde130SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 47833cde130SBruce M Simpson 47933cde130SBruce M Simpson * As with the changes to the IPv4 stack to support SSM, filtering 48033cde130SBruce M Simpson of inbound multicast traffic must now be performed by transport 48133cde130SBruce M Simpson protocols within the IPv6 stack. This does not apply to TCP and 48233cde130SBruce M Simpson SCTP, however, it does apply to UDP in IPv6 and raw IPv6. 48333cde130SBruce M Simpson 48433cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KPIs used by IPv6 multicast are similar to those used by 48533cde130SBruce M Simpson the IPv4 stack, with the following differences: 48633cde130SBruce M Simpson * im6o_mc_filter() is analogous to imo_multicast_filter(). 48733cde130SBruce M Simpson * The legacy KAME entry points in6_joingroup and in6_leavegroup() 48833cde130SBruce M Simpson are shimmed to in6_mc_join() and in6_mc_leave() respectively. 48933cde130SBruce M Simpson * IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI() has been deprecated and removed. 49033cde130SBruce M Simpson * IPv6 relies on MLD for the DAD mechanism. KAME's internal KPIs 49133cde130SBruce M Simpson for MLDv1 have an additional 'timer' argument which is used to 49233cde130SBruce M Simpson jitter the initial membership report for the solicited-node 49333cde130SBruce M Simpson multicast membership on-link. 49433cde130SBruce M Simpson * This is not strictly needed for MLDv2, which already jitters 49533cde130SBruce M Simpson its report transmissions. However, the 'timer' argument is 49633cde130SBruce M Simpson preserved in case MLDv1 is active on the interface. 49733cde130SBruce M Simpson 49833cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KAME linked-list based IPv6 membership implementation has 49933cde130SBruce M Simpson been refactored to use a vector similar to that used by the IPv4 50033cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 50133cde130SBruce M Simpson Code which maintains a list of its own multicast memberships 50233cde130SBruce M Simpson internally, e.g. carp, has been updated to reflect the new 50333cde130SBruce M Simpson semantics. 50433cde130SBruce M Simpson 50533cde130SBruce M Simpson * There is a known Lock Order Reversal (LOR) due to in6_setscope() 50633cde130SBruce M Simpson acquiring the IF_AFDATA_LOCK and being called within ip6_output(). 50733cde130SBruce M Simpson Whilst MLDv2 tries to avoid this otherwise benign LOR, it is an 50833cde130SBruce M Simpson implementation constraint which needs to be addressed in HEAD. 50933cde130SBruce M Simpson 51033cde130SBruce M Simpson For application developers: 51133cde130SBruce M Simpson 51233cde130SBruce M Simpson * The changes are broadly similar to those made for the IPv4 51333cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 51433cde130SBruce M Simpson 51533cde130SBruce M Simpson * The use of IPv4 and IPv6 multicast socket options on the same 51633cde130SBruce M Simpson socket, using mapped addresses, HAS NOT been tested or supported. 51733cde130SBruce M Simpson 51833cde130SBruce M Simpson * There are a number of issues with the implementation of various 51933cde130SBruce M Simpson IPv6 multicast APIs which need to be resolved in the API surface 52033cde130SBruce M Simpson before the implementation is fully compatible with KAME userland 52133cde130SBruce M Simpson use, and these are mostly to do with interface index treatment. 52233cde130SBruce M Simpson 52333cde130SBruce M Simpson * The literature available discusses the use of either the delta / ASM 52433cde130SBruce M Simpson API with setsockopt(2)/getsockopt(2), or the full-state / ASM API 52533cde130SBruce M Simpson using setsourcefilter(3)/getsourcefilter(3). For more information 52633cde130SBruce M Simpson please refer to RFC 3768, 'Socket Interface Extensions for 52733cde130SBruce M Simpson Multicast Source Filters'. 52833cde130SBruce M Simpson 52933cde130SBruce M Simpson * Applications which use the published RFC 3678 APIs should be fine. 53033cde130SBruce M Simpson 53133cde130SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators: 53233cde130SBruce M Simpson 53333cde130SBruce M Simpson * The mtest(8) utility has been refactored to support IPv6, in 53433cde130SBruce M Simpson addition to IPv4. Interface addresses are no longer accepted 53533cde130SBruce M Simpson as arguments, their names must be used instead. The utility 53633cde130SBruce M Simpson will map the interface name to its first IPv4 address as 53733cde130SBruce M Simpson returned by getifaddrs(3). 53833cde130SBruce M Simpson 53933cde130SBruce M Simpson * The ifmcstat(8) utility has also been updated to print the MLDv2 54033cde130SBruce M Simpson endpoint state and source filter lists via sysctl(3). 54133cde130SBruce M Simpson 54233cde130SBruce M Simpson * The net.inet6.ip6.mcast.loop sysctl may be tuned to 0 to disable 54333cde130SBruce M Simpson loopback of IPv6 multicast datagrams by default; it defaults to 1 54433cde130SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. Disabling multicast loopback is 54533cde130SBruce M Simpson recommended for optimal system performance. 54633cde130SBruce M Simpson 54733cde130SBruce M Simpson * The IPv6 MROUTING code has been changed to examine this sysctl 54833cde130SBruce M Simpson instead of attempting to perform a group lookup before looping 54933cde130SBruce M Simpson back forwarded datagrams. 55033cde130SBruce M Simpson 55133cde130SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084. 55233cde130SBruce M Simpson 5538b8bf775SRobert Watson20090422: 554131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin Implement low-level Bluetooth HCI API. 555131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800083. 556131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin 5578b8bf775SRobert Watson20090419: 5588b8bf775SRobert Watson The layout of struct malloc_type, used by modules to register new 5598b8bf775SRobert Watson memory allocation types, has changed.

The "c" partition is now implicit, covers the whole 6099a07b548SIvan Voras top-level drive and cannot be (mis)used by users. 6109a07b548SIvan Voras 6119a07b548SIvan Voras General: Kernel dumps are now not allowed to be written to devices 6129a07b548SIvan Voras whose partition types indicate they are meant to be used for file 6139a07b548SIvan Voras systems (or, in case of MSDOS partitions, as something else than 6149a07b548SIvan Voras the "386BSD" type). 6159a07b548SIvan Voras 6169a07b548SIvan Voras Most of these changes date approximately from 200812. 617781d043cSIvan Voras 618443fc317SBruce M Simpson20090319: 6192b78d306SAndrew Thompson The uscanner(4) driver has been removed from the kernel.

In particular, if_ar, if_sr, and network device 6341df14375SRobert Watson drivers from the old (legacy) USB stack can no longer be built or 6351df14375SRobert Watson used. 6361df14375SRobert Watson 637e667034dSRui Paulo20090313: 6387e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan POSIX.1 Native Language Support (NLS) has been enabled in libc and 6397e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan a bunch of new language catalog files have also been added. 6407e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan This means that some common libc messages are now localized and 6417e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan they depend on the LC_MESSAGES environmental variable. 6427e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan 6437e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan20090313: 644e667034dSRui Paulo The k8temp(4) driver has been renamed to amdtemp(4) since 6458fb1e038SDavid E.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 650d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 651d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers, the most important changes are that the 652d10910e6SBruce M Simpson ip_output() and ip_input() paths no longer take the IN_MULTI_LOCK(), 653d10910e6SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 654d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 655d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transport protocols (UDP, Raw IP) are now responsible for filtering 656d10910e6SBruce M Simpson inbound multicast traffic according to group membership and source 657d10910e6SBruce M Simpson filters. The imo_multicast_filter() KPI exists for this purpose. 658d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transports which do not use multicast (SCTP, TCP) already reject 659d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast by default. Forwarding and receive performance may improve 660d10910e6SBruce M Simpson as a mutex acquisition is no longer needed in the ip_input() 661d10910e6SBruce M Simpson low-level input path. in_addmulti() and in_delmulti() are shimmed 662d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to new KPIs which exist to support SSM in-kernel. 663d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 664d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For application developers, it is recommended that loopback of 665d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast datagrams be disabled for best performance, as this 666d10910e6SBruce M Simpson will still cause the lock to be taken for each looped-back 667d10910e6SBruce M Simpson datagram transmission. The net.inet.ip.mcast.loop sysctl may 668d10910e6SBruce M Simpson be tuned to 0 to disable loopback by default; it defaults to 1 669d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. 670d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 671d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators, to obtain best performance with 672d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast reception and multiple groups, it is always recommended 673d10910e6SBruce M Simpson that a card with a suitably precise hash filter is used. Hash 674d10910e6SBruce M Simpson collisions will still result in the lock being taken within the 675d10910e6SBruce M Simpson transport protocol input path to check group membership. 676d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 677d10910e6SBruce M Simpson If deploying FreeBSD in an environment with IGMP snooping switches, 678d10910e6SBruce M Simpson it is recommended that the net.inet.igmp.sendlocal sysctl remain 679d10910e6SBruce M Simpson enabled; this forces 224.0.0.0/24 group membership to be announced 680d10910e6SBruce M Simpson via IGMP. 681d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 682d10910e6SBruce M Simpson The size of 'struct igmpstat' has changed; netstat needs to be 683d10910e6SBruce M Simpson recompiled to reflect this. 684d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800070. 685d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 686d10910e6SBruce M Simpson20090309: 687a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson libusb20.so.1 is now installed as libusb.so.1 and the ports system 688a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson updated to use it.

This means the 904f4d811f0SEd Schouten onboard serial port will now most likely be called "ttyu0" 905f4d811f0SEd Schouten instead of "ttyd0". You may need to reconfigure applications to 906f4d811f0SEd Schouten use the new device names. 907f4d811f0SEd Schouten 908db96ec0bSEd Schouten When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update 909db96ec0bSEd Schouten /boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel. 910db96ec0bSEd Schouten If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints 911db96ec0bSEd Schouten at the loader prompt: 912db96ec0bSEd Schouten 913db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.at="isa" 914db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" 915db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" 916db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.irq="4" 917db96ec0bSEd Schouten boot -s 918db96ec0bSEd Schouten 919bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar20080609: 920bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar The gpt(8) utility has been removed.

Zeeb 9334dcedde3SJulian Elischer20080509: 9344dcedde3SJulian Elischer I have checked in code to support multiple routing tables. 935032e0bf8SMaxim Konovalov See the man pages setfib(1) and setfib(2). 9364dcedde3SJulian Elischer This is a hopefully backwards compatible version, 9374dcedde3SJulian Elischer but to make use of it you need to compile your kernel 9384dcedde3SJulian Elischer with options ROUTETABLES=2 (or more up to 16). 9394dcedde3SJulian Elischer 940de570baaSSam Leffler20080420: 941de570baaSSam Leffler The 802.11 wireless support was redone to enable multi-bss 942de570baaSSam Leffler operation on devices that are capable. The underlying device 943de570baaSSam Leffler is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are 944de570baaSSam Leffler cloned with ifconfig. This requires changes to rc.conf files. 9455318f840SWarner Losh For example, change: 9465318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" 9475318f840SWarner Losh to 9485318f840SWarner Losh wlans_ath0=wlan0 9495318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" 9500f95e625SWarner Losh see rc.conf(5) for more details. In addition, mergemaster of 9510f95e625SWarner Losh /etc/rc.d is highly recommended. Simultaneous update of userland 9520f95e625SWarner Losh and kernel wouldn't hurt either. 953de570baaSSam Leffler 954de570baaSSam Leffler As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta 955de570baaSSam Leffler modules were merged into the base wlan module. All references 956de570baaSSam Leffler to these modules (e.g. in kernel config files) must be removed. 957de570baaSSam Leffler 958ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim20080408: 959ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim psm(4) has gained write(2) support in native operation level. 960ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim Arbitrary commands can be written to /dev/psm%d and status can 961ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim be read back from it. Therefore, an application is responsible 962ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim for status validation and error recovery.

This affects libkvm 9778775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar and any executables that link against libkvm and use the 9788775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar kvm_getprocs() function. In particular, but not exclusively, 9798775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar it affects ps(1), fstat(1), pkill(1), systat(1), top(1) and w(1). 9808775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar The effects are minimal, but it's advisable to upgrade world 9818775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar nonetheless. 9828775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar 983df09ebc0SJack F Vogel20080229: 984df09ebc0SJack F Vogel The latest em driver no longer has support in it for the 985df09ebc0SJack F Vogel 82575 adapter, this is now moved to the igb driver. The 986df09ebc0SJack F Vogel split was done to make new features that are incompatible 987df09ebc0SJack F Vogel with older hardware easier to do. 988df09ebc0SJack F Vogel 9891669d8afSAndrew Thompson20080220: 9901669d8afSAndrew Thompson The new geom_lvm(4) geom class has been renamed to geom_linux_lvm(4), 9911669d8afSAndrew Thompson likewise the kernel option is now GEOM_LINUX_LVM. 9921669d8afSAndrew Thompson 9932427fa19SKris Kennaway20080211: 9942427fa19SKris Kennaway The default NFS mount mode has changed from UDP to TCP for 9952427fa19SKris Kennaway increased reliability.

The old fts(3) ABI is preserved 100748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy through symbol versioning in libc, so third-party binaries 100848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy using fts(3) should still work, although they will not take 100948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy advantage of the extended types. At the same time, some 101048aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy third-party software might fail to build after this change 101148aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy due to unportable assumptions made in its source code about 101248aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy fts(3) structure members. Such software should be fixed 101348aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy by its vendor or, in the worst case, in the ports tree. 101448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy FreeBSD_version 800015 marks this change for the unlikely 101548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy case that a portable fix is impossible. 101648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy 101751dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov20080123: 10188015f45cSWarner Losh To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running 101951dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov FreeBSD not older than 6.0-RELEASE. Upgrading to -current 10208015f45cSWarner Losh from 5.x now requires a stop over at RELENG_6 or RELENG_7 systems. 10218015f45cSWarner Losh 1022ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato20071128: 1023ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato The ADAPTIVE_GIANT kernel option has been retired because its 1024ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato functionality is the default now. 1025ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato 1026e393af84SMarius Strobl20071118: 1027e393af84SMarius Strobl The AT keyboard emulation of sunkbd(4) has been turned on 1028e393af84SMarius Strobl by default. In order to make the special symbols of the Sun 1029e393af84SMarius Strobl keyboards driven by sunkbd(4) work under X these now have 1030e393af84SMarius Strobl to be configured the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven 1031e393af84SMarius Strobl by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation), f.e.: 1032e393af84SMarius Strobl 1033e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbLayout" "us" 1034e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbRules" "xorg" 1035e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbSymbols" "pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+us" 1036e393af84SMarius Strobl 103733d3fffaSMarius Strobl20071024: 103833d3fffaSMarius Strobl It has been decided that it is desirable to provide ABI 103933d3fffaSMarius Strobl backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of the 104033d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was 104133d3fffaSMarius Strobl broken with the introduction of PCI domain support (see the 104233d3fffaSMarius Strobl 20070930 entry). Unfortunately, this required the ABI of 104333d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF to be broken again in order to be able to 104433d3fffaSMarius Strobl provide backwards compatibility to the old version of that 104533d3fffaSMarius Strobl IOCTL. Thus consumers of PCIOCGETCONF have to be recompiled 104633d3fffaSMarius Strobl again. As for prominent ports this affects neither pciutils 104733d3fffaSMarius Strobl nor xorg-server this time, the hal port needs to be rebuilt 104833d3fffaSMarius Strobl however. 104933d3fffaSMarius Strobl 10503d461febSJulian Elischer20071020: 10513d461febSJulian Elischer The misnamed kthread_create() and friends have been renamed 10523d461febSJulian Elischer to kproc_create() etc. Many of the callers already 10533d461febSJulian Elischer used kproc_start().. 10543d461febSJulian Elischer I will return kthread_create() and friends in a while 10553d461febSJulian Elischer with implementations that actually create threads, not procs. 10563d461febSJulian Elischer Renaming corresponds with version 800002. 10573d461febSJulian Elischer 1058c15e0967SKen Smith20071010: 1059c15e0967SKen Smith RELENG_7 branched. 1060c15e0967SKen Smith 1061dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshCOMMON ITEMS: 1062dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1063a24eff53SWarner Losh General Notes 1064a24eff53SWarner Losh ------------- 1065456b5dd8SWarner Losh Avoid using make -j when upgrading. While generally safe, there are 1066456b5dd8SWarner Losh sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with 10671733d35cSRuslan Ermilov -j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there 1068456b5dd8SWarner Losh have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This 1069456b5dd8SWarner Losh is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one 1070456b5dd8SWarner Losh that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when 1071456b5dd8SWarner Losh several months have passed on the -current branch). 1072a24eff53SWarner Losh 10735780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 10745780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 1075456b5dd8SWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. To run 1076456b5dd8SWarner Losh your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make 1077456b5dd8SWarner Losh commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details. 10785780f3baSWarner Losh 1079456b5dd8SWarner Losh When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best 1080456b5dd8SWarner Losh to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, 1081456b5dd8SWarner Losh then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade 1082456b5dd8SWarner Losh path, and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try 1083456b5dd8SWarner Losh this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade. 1084081ff8acSDoug Barton 10858fc25799SMartin Matuska ZFS notes 10868fc25799SMartin Matuska --------- 10878fc25799SMartin Matuska When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow 10888fc25799SMartin Matuska these two steps: 10898fc25799SMartin Matuska 10908fc25799SMartin Matuska 1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block 10918fc25799SMartin Matuska (this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld") 10928fc25799SMartin Matuska 10938fc25799SMartin Matuska 2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive 10948fc25799SMartin Matuska 10958fc25799SMartin Matuska The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first 10968fc25799SMartin Matuska partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ad0: 10978fc25799SMartin Matuska "gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0" 10988fc25799SMartin Matuska 10998fc25799SMartin Matuska Non-boot pools do not need these updates. 11008fc25799SMartin Matuska 1101dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 1102dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 1103ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 11041cf0ef11SDavid E.

Failure to do this step 1214a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 1215a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 1216a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 1217a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 121850e8eca6SDoug Barton for potential gotchas. The -U option is also useful to consider. 121950e8eca6SDoug Barton See mergemaster(8) for more information. 1220a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 1221835284beSWarner Losh [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time 1222835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 1223835284beSWarner Losh step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to 1224835284beSWarner Losh install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make 1225835284beSWarner Losh install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated 1226835284beSWarner Losh from current before 20020224 or from -stable before 20020408. 1227835284beSWarner Losh 122894877c06SAlexander Leidinger [6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries 122994877c06SAlexander Leidinger can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make 123094877c06SAlexander Leidinger sure that no program is using those libraries anymore. 123194877c06SAlexander Leidinger 1232456b5dd8SWarner Losh [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to 1233456b5dd8SWarner Losh do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in 1234456b5dd8SWarner Losh your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is 1235456b5dd8SWarner Losh hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is 1236456b5dd8SWarner Losh required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. And so on 1237456b5dd8SWarner Losh for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7. 1238c74fe6afSWarner Losh 1239e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 1240e5dc5f61SWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. 1241e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 124221c075eaSWarner Losh [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have 1243e5dc5f61SWarner Losh cvs prune empty directories. 1244e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1245e5dc5f61SWarner Losh If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 1246e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 1247e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 1248e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1249e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 1250e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 1251e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 1252dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 1253dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1254f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 12551fc1a0dcSWarner Loshbreakages in tracking -current.
