12cf48cc9fSKen SmithNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 9.x IS SLOW:
13456b5dd8SWarner Losh	FreeBSD 9.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
14456b5dd8SWarner Losh	and userland.  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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

283350036a0SRui Paulo	802.11s D3.03 support was committed. This is incompatible with the
284350036a0SRui Paulo	previous code, which was based on D3.0.
285350036a0SRui Paulo
2862e77c5abSHiroki Sato20090912:
2872e77c5abSHiroki Sato	A sysctl variable net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv now sets the default value
2882e77c5abSHiroki Sato	of a per-interface flag ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV, not a global knob to
2892e77c5abSHiroki Sato	control whether accepting Router Advertisement messages or not.
2902e77c5abSHiroki Sato	Also, a per-interface flag ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL has been added and
2912e77c5abSHiroki Sato	a sysctl variable net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal is its default value.
2922e77c5abSHiroki Sato	The ifconfig(8) utility now supports these flags.

298411c7658SWarner Losh20090825:
299411c7658SWarner Losh	The old tunable hw.bus.devctl_disable has been superseded by
300411c7658SWarner Losh	hw.bus.devctl_queue.  hw.bus.devctl_disable=1 in loader.conf should be
301411c7658SWarner Losh	replaced by hw.bus.devctl_queue=0.  The default for this new tunable
302411c7658SWarner Losh	is 1000.
303411c7658SWarner Losh
304dc6fbf65SAttilio Rao20090813:
305456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Remove the option STOP_NMI.  The default action is now to use NMI only
306456b5dd8SWarner Losh	for KDB via the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and
307456b5dd8SWarner Losh	maintain stop_cpus() to just use a normal IPI_STOP on ia32 and amd64.

312dc6fbf65SAttilio Rao
3133ca3047aSKen Smith20090719:
314456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Bump the shared library version numbers for all libraries that do not
315456b5dd8SWarner Losh	use symbol versioning as part of the 8.0-RELEASE cycle.  Bump
316456b5dd8SWarner Losh	__FreeBSD_version to 800105.
3173ca3047aSKen Smith
318eddfbb76SRobert Watson20090714:
319456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Due to changes in the implementation of virtual network stack support,
320456b5dd8SWarner Losh	all network-related kernel modules must be recompiled.  As this change
321456b5dd8SWarner Losh	breaks the ABI, bump __FreeBSD_version to 800104.
322eddfbb76SRobert Watson
323237fbe0aSLawrence Stewart20090713:
324456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The TOE interface to the TCP syncache has been modified to remove
325456b5dd8SWarner Losh	struct tcpopt (<netinet/tcp_var.h>) from the ABI of the network stack.
326456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The cxgb driver is the only TOE consumer affected by this change, and
327456b5dd8SWarner Losh	needs to be recompiled along with the kernel. As this change breaks
328456b5dd8SWarner Losh	the ABI, bump __FreeBSD_version to 800103.
329237fbe0aSLawrence Stewart
330962ebef8SLawrence Stewart20090712:
331962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	Padding has been added to struct tcpcb, sackhint and tcpstat in
332962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	<netinet/tcp_var.h> to facilitate future MFCs and bug fixes whilst
3331733d35cSRuslan Ermilov	maintaining the ABI. However, this change breaks the ABI, so bump
334962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	__FreeBSD_version to 800102. User space tools that rely on the size of
335962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	any of these structs (e.g. sockstat) need to be recompiled.

337bab42aadSDoug Rabson20090630:
338456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The NFS_LEGACYRPC option has been removed along with the old kernel
339456b5dd8SWarner Losh	RPC implementation that this option selected. Kernel configurations
340456b5dd8SWarner Losh	may need to be adjusted.

3426cb7f168SBrooks Davis20090629:
343456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The network interface device nodes at /dev/net/<interface> have been
344456b5dd8SWarner Losh	removed.  All ioctl operations can be performed the normal way using
345456b5dd8SWarner Losh	routing sockets.  The kqueue functionality can generally be replaced
346456b5dd8SWarner Losh	with routing sockets.

348944bc81dSMarc Fonvieille20090628:
349456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The documentation from the FreeBSD Documentation Project (Handbook,
350456b5dd8SWarner Losh	FAQ, etc.) is now installed via packages by sysinstall(8) and under
351456b5dd8SWarner Losh	the /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd directory instead of /usr/share/doc.
352944bc81dSMarc Fonvieille
353f5e4c105SJohn Baldwin20090624:
354456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The ABI of various structures related to the SYSV IPC API have been
355456b5dd8SWarner Losh	changed.  As a result, the COMPAT_FREEBSD[456] and COMPAT_43 kernel
356456b5dd8SWarner Losh	options now all require COMPAT_FREEBSD7.  Bump __FreeBSD_version to
357456b5dd8SWarner Losh	800100.
358f5e4c105SJohn Baldwin
359b58ea5f3SBjoern A. Zeeb20090622:
360456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Layout of struct vnet has changed as routing related variables were
361456b5dd8SWarner Losh	moved to their own Vimage module. Modules need to be recompiled.  Bump
362456b5dd8SWarner Losh	__FreeBSD_version to 800099.
363b58ea5f3SBjoern A. Zeeb
364838d9858SBrooks Davis20090619:
365456b5dd8SWarner Losh	NGROUPS_MAX and NGROUPS have been increased from 16 to 1023 and 1024
366456b5dd8SWarner Losh	respectively.  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.  This
382456b5dd8SWarner Losh	option compiles in the support for adaptive spinning for lockmgrs
383456b5dd8SWarner Losh	which want to enable it.  The lockinit() function now accepts the flag
384456b5dd8SWarner Losh	LK_ADAPTIVE in order to make the lock object subject to adaptive
385456b5dd8SWarner Losh	spinning when both held in write and read mode.

403c2c2a7c1SBjoern A. Zeeb20090601:
404456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The way we are storing and accessing `routing table' entries has
405456b5dd8SWarner Losh	changed. Programs reading the FIB, like netstat, need to be

46733cde130SBruce M Simpson20090429:
46833cde130SBruce M Simpson	MLDv2 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged
46933cde130SBruce M Simpson	to the IPv6 stack. 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.

569773b573aSKip Macy20090415:
570de4ab55eSKip Macy	Add an llentry to struct route and struct route_in6. Modules
571de4ab55eSKip Macy	embedding a struct route will need to be recompiled.

58287437955SMaksim Yevmenkin20090408:
58387437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	Do not use Giant for kbdmux(4) locking. This is wrong and
58487437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	apparently causing more problems than it solves. This will
58587437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	re-open the issue where interrupt handlers may race with
58687437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	kbdmux(4) in polling mode. Typical symptoms include (but
58787437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	not limited to) duplicated and/or missing characters when
58887437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	low level console functions (such as gets) are used while
58987437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	interrupts are enabled (for example geli password prompt,
59087437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	mountroot prompt etc.). Disabling kbdmux(4) may help.

5922f6a1858SMarko Zec20090407:
5932f6a1858SMarko Zec	The size of structs vnet_net, vnet_inet and vnet_ipfw has changed;
5942f6a1858SMarko Zec	kernel modules referencing any of the above need to be recompiled.
5952f6a1858SMarko Zec	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800075.

597781d043cSIvan Voras20090320:
598781d043cSIvan Voras	GEOM_PART has become the default partition slicer for storage devices,
599781d043cSIvan Voras	replacing GEOM_MBR, GEOM_BSD, GEOM_PC98 and GEOM_GPT slicers. It
6009a07b548SIvan Voras	introduces some changes:
6019a07b548SIvan Voras
6029a07b548SIvan Voras	MSDOS/EBR: the devices created from MSDOS extended partition entries
6039a07b548SIvan Voras	(EBR) can be named differently than with GEOM_MBR and are now symlinks
6049a07b548SIvan Voras	to devices with offset-based names. fstabs may need to be modified.
6059a07b548SIvan Voras
6069a07b548SIvan Voras	BSD: the "geometry does not match label" warning is harmless in most
6079a07b548SIvan Voras	cases but it points to problems in file system misalignment with
6089a07b548SIvan Voras	disk geometry. 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. This follows
6202b78d306SAndrew Thompson	Linux removing theirs in 2.6 and making libusb the default interface
6212b78d306SAndrew Thompson	(supported by sane).
6222b78d306SAndrew Thompson
6232b78d306SAndrew Thompson20090319:
624443fc317SBruce M Simpson	The multicast forwarding code has been cleaned up. netstat(1)
625443fc317SBruce M Simpson	only relies on KVM now for printing bandwidth upcall meters.
626443fc317SBruce M Simpson	The IPv4 and IPv6 modules are split into ip_mroute_mod and
627443fc317SBruce M Simpson	ip6_mroute_mod respectively. The config(5) options for statically
628443fc317SBruce M Simpson	compiling this code remain the same, i.e. 'options MROUTING'.
629443fc317SBruce M Simpson
6301df14375SRobert Watson20090315:
6311df14375SRobert Watson	Support for the IFF_NEEDSGIANT network interface flag has been
6321df14375SRobert Watson	removed, which means that non-MPSAFE network device drivers are no
6331df14375SRobert Watson	longer supported.  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. O'Brien	support for Family 10 and Family 11 CPU families was added.
646e667034dSRui Paulo
647a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson20090309:
648d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	IGMPv3 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged
649d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	to the IPv4 stack. 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 requires a buildworld/installworld in order to
689a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson	update the library and dependencies (usbconfig, etc). Its advisable to
690cb2fe9b1SStanislav Sedov	rebuild all ports which uses libusb. More specific directions are given
6910ee5826eSAndrew Thompson	in the ports collection UPDATING file. Any /etc/libmap.conf entries for
6923296f80dSAndrew Thompson	libusb are no longer required and can be removed.
693a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson
69465067cc8SKonstantin Belousov20090302:
6959f960e98SKonstantin Belousov	A workaround is committed to allow the creation of System V shared
6969f960e98SKonstantin Belousov	memory segment of size > 2 GB on the 64-bit architectures.
6979f960e98SKonstantin Belousov	Due to a limitation of the existing ABI, the shm_segsz member
69865067cc8SKonstantin Belousov	of the struct shmid_ds, returned by shmctl(IPC_STAT) call is
699813bb2c9SJoel Dahl	wrong for large segments. Note that limits must be explicitly
70065067cc8SKonstantin Belousov	raised to allow such segments to be created.
70165067cc8SKonstantin Belousov
702176273eaSRobert Watson20090301:
703176273eaSRobert Watson	The layout of struct ifnet has changed, requiring a rebuild of all
704176273eaSRobert Watson	network device driver modules.
705176273eaSRobert Watson
706a13a5664SAndrew Thompson20090227:
707a13a5664SAndrew Thompson	The /dev handling for the new USB stack has changed, a
708a13a5664SAndrew Thompson	buildworld/installworld is required for libusb20.
709a13a5664SAndrew Thompson
71071e9286cSAndrew Thompson20090223:
71171e9286cSAndrew Thompson	The new USB2 stack has now been permanently moved in and all kernel and
712200dcf9aSAndrew Thompson	module names reverted to their previous values (eg, usb, ehci, ohci,
7139c1e15b5SAndrew Thompson	ums, ...).  The old usb stack can be compiled in by prefixing the name
71471e9286cSAndrew Thompson	with the letter 'o', the old usb modules have been removed.
715a709c9a6SWarner Losh	Updating entry 20090216 for xorg and 20090215 for libmap may still
716a709c9a6SWarner Losh	apply.
71771e9286cSAndrew Thompson
718553bf6a4SMike Makonnen20090217:
719553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	The rc.conf(5) option if_up_delay has been renamed to
720553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	defaultroute_delay to better reflect its purpose. If you have
721553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	customized this setting in /etc/rc.conf you need to update it to
722553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	use the new name.
723553bf6a4SMike Makonnen
724bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson20090216:
725bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
726bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	yet work with USB2. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
727bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	add
728bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson		Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
729bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
730cbb9c89eSMaxim Konovalov	kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf.
731bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson
732e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson20090215:
733e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	The GENERIC kernels for all architectures now default to the new USB2
734e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	stack. No kernel config options or code have been removed so if a
735e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	problem arises please report it and optionally revert to the old USB
736e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	stack. If you are loading USB kernel modules or have a custom kernel
737e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	that includes GENERIC then ensure that usb names are also changed over,
738cbb9c89eSMaxim Konovalov	eg uftdi -> usb2_serial_ftdi.
739e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson
740a709c9a6SWarner Losh	Older programs linked against the ports libusb 0.1 need to be
741a709c9a6SWarner Losh	redirected to the new stack's libusb20.  /etc/libmap.conf can
742a709c9a6SWarner Losh	be used for this:
743a709c9a6SWarner Losh		# Map old usb library to new one for usb2 stack
744a709c9a6SWarner Losh		libusb-0.1.so.8	libusb20.so.1
745a709c9a6SWarner Losh
74621293e70SAndrew Thompson20090209:
74721293e70SAndrew Thompson	All USB ethernet devices now attach as interfaces under the name ueN
74821293e70SAndrew Thompson	(eg. ue0). This is to provide a predictable name as vendors often
74921293e70SAndrew Thompson	change usb chipsets in a product without notice.
75021293e70SAndrew Thompson
75114943437SJohn Baldwin20090203:
75214943437SJohn Baldwin	The ichsmb(4) driver has been changed to require SMBus slave
75314943437SJohn Baldwin	addresses be left-justified (xxxxxxx0b) rather than right-justified.
75414943437SJohn Baldwin	All of the other SMBus controller drivers require left-justified
75514943437SJohn Baldwin	slave addresses, so this change makes all the drivers provide the
75614943437SJohn Baldwin	same interface.
75714943437SJohn Baldwin
75809f8c3ffSBjoern A. Zeeb20090201:
75909f8c3ffSBjoern A. Zeeb	INET6 statistics (struct ip6stat) was updated.
76009f8c3ffSBjoern A. Zeeb	netstat(1) needs to be recompiled.
76109f8c3ffSBjoern A. Zeeb
76274f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev20090119:
76374f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	NTFS has been removed from GENERIC kernel on amd64 to match
76474f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	GENERIC on i386. Should not cause any issues since mount_ntfs(8)
76574f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	will load ntfs.ko module automatically when NTFS support is
76674f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	actually needed, unless ntfs.ko is not installed or security
76774f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	level prohibits loading kernel modules. If either is the case,
76874f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	"options NTFS" has to be added into kernel config.
76974f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev
77024cb0f22SLawrence Stewart20090115:
77124cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	TCP Appropriate Byte Counting (RFC 3465) support added to kernel.
77224cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	New field in struct tcpcb breaks ABI, so bump __FreeBSD_version to
77324cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	800061. User space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in
77424cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to be recompiled.
77524cb0f22SLawrence Stewart
7765d55747eSAlexander Motin20081225:
7775d55747eSAlexander Motin	ng_tty(4) module updated to match the new TTY subsystem.
7785d55747eSAlexander Motin	Due to API change, user-level applications must be updated.
7795d55747eSAlexander Motin	New API support added to mpd5 CVS and expected to be present
7805d55747eSAlexander Motin	in next mpd5.3 release.
7815d55747eSAlexander Motin
782efc06131SSam Leffler20081219:
783a1c64cafSSam Leffler	With __FreeBSD_version 800060 the makefs tool is part of
784a1c64cafSSam Leffler	the base system (it was a port).
785efc06131SSam Leffler
786991f8615SKip Macy20081216:
787991f8615SKip Macy	The afdata and ifnet locks have been changed from mutexes to
788991f8615SKip Macy	rwlocks, network modules will need to be re-compiled.
7891d7e99caSJohn Baldwin
7906e6b3f7cSQing Li20081214:
7916e6b3f7cSQing Li	__FreeBSD_version 800059 incorporates the new arp-v2 rewrite.
7926e6b3f7cSQing Li	RTF_CLONING, RTF_LLINFO and RTF_WASCLONED flags are eliminated.
7936e6b3f7cSQing Li	The new code reduced struct rtentry{} by 16 bytes on 32-bit
7946e6b3f7cSQing Li	architecture and 40 bytes on 64-bit architecture. The userland
7956e6b3f7cSQing Li	applications "arp" and "ndp" have been updated accordingly.
7966e6b3f7cSQing Li	The output from "netstat -r" shows only routing entries and
7976e6b3f7cSQing Li	none of the L2 information.
7986e6b3f7cSQing Li
79933644623SSam Leffler20081130:
80033644623SSam Leffler	__FreeBSD_version 800057 marks the switchover from the
80133644623SSam Leffler	binary ath hal to source code. Users must add the line:

80833644623SSam Leffler
80933644623SSam Leffler	The ath_hal module no longer exists; the code is now compiled
81033644623SSam Leffler	together with the driver in the ath module.  It is now
81133644623SSam Leffler	possible to tailor chip support (i.e. reduce the set of chips
81233644623SSam Leffler	and thereby the code size); consult ath_hal(4) for details.

814db7f0b97SKip Macy20081121:
815db7f0b97SKip Macy	__FreeBSD_version 800054 adds memory barriers to
816db7f0b97SKip Macy	<machine/atomic.h>, new interfaces to ifnet to facilitate
817db7f0b97SKip Macy	multiple hardware transmit queues for cards that support
818db7f0b97SKip Macy	them, and a lock-less ring-buffer implementation to

823de2e1b35SXin LI	A new version of ZFS (version 13) has been merged to -HEAD.
824de3a91a0SXin LI	This version has zpool attribute "listsnapshots" off by
825de3a91a0SXin LI	default, which means "zfs list" does not show snapshots,

831e91c7c81SJoseph Koshy20081009:
832d8135f4aSNick Hibma	The uhci, ohci, ehci and slhci USB Host controller drivers have
833d8135f4aSNick Hibma	been put into separate modules. If you load the usb module
834d8135f4aSNick Hibma	separately through loader.conf you will need to load the

847b868265dSAlexander Motin	atapci kernel module now includes only generic PCI ATA
848b868265dSAlexander Motin	driver. AHCI driver moved to ataahci kernel module.
849b868265dSAlexander Motin	All vendor-specific code moved into separate kernel modules:

855bc093719SEd Schouten20080820:
856bc093719SEd Schouten	The TTY subsystem of the kernel has been replaced by a new
857bc093719SEd Schouten	implementation, which provides better scalability and an
858bc093719SEd Schouten	improved driver model. Most common drivers have been migrated to
859bc093719SEd Schouten	the new TTY subsystem, while others have not. The following
860bc093719SEd Schouten	drivers have not yet been ported to the new TTY layer:
861bc093719SEd Schouten
862bc093719SEd Schouten	PCI/ISA:
86366e7dc38SEd Schouten		cy, digi, rc, rp, sio
864bc093719SEd Schouten
865bc093719SEd Schouten	USB:
86666e7dc38SEd Schouten		ubser, ucycom
867bc093719SEd Schouten
868bc093719SEd Schouten	Line disciplines:
869bc093719SEd Schouten		ng_h4, ng_tty, ppp, sl, snp
870bc093719SEd Schouten
871bc093719SEd Schouten	Adding these drivers to your kernel configuration file shall
872bc093719SEd Schouten	cause compilation to fail.

877eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav20080801:
878eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	OpenSSH has been upgraded to 5.1p1.
879eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav
880eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	For many years, FreeBSD's version of OpenSSH preferred DSA
881eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	over RSA for host and user authentication keys.  With this
882eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	upgrade, we've switched to the vendor's default of RSA over
883eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	DSA.  This may cause upgraded clients to warn about unknown
884eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	host keys even for previously known hosts.  Users should
885eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	follow the usual procedure for verifying host keys before
886eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	accepting the RSA key.
887eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav
888eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	This can be circumvented by setting the "HostKeyAlgorithms"
889eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	option to "ssh-dss,ssh-rsa" in ~/.ssh/config or on the ssh
890eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	command line.
891eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav
892737d990aSXin LI	Please note that the sequence of keys offered for
893737d990aSXin LI	authentication has been changed as well.  You may want to
894737d990aSXin LI	specify IdentityFile in a different order to revert this
895737d990aSXin LI	behavior.

897f4d811f0SEd Schouten20080713:
898f4d811f0SEd Schouten	The sio(4) driver has been removed from the i386 and amd64
899f4d811f0SEd Schouten	kernel configuration files. This means uart(4) is now the
900f4d811f0SEd Schouten	default serial port driver on those platforms as well.
901f4d811f0SEd Schouten
902f4d811f0SEd Schouten	To prevent collisions with the sio(4) driver, the uart(4) driver
903f4d811f0SEd Schouten	uses different names for its device nodes. 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"

924a47444d5SRoman Divacky	The version that Linuxulator emulates was changed from 2.4.2
925a47444d5SRoman Divacky	to 2.6.16. If you experience any problems with Linux binaries
926a47444d5SRoman Divacky	please try to set sysctl compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.2 and

9302e598474SBjoern A. Zeeb	ISDN4BSD (I4B) was removed from the src tree. You may need to
9312e598474SBjoern A. Zeeb	update a your kernel configuration and remove relevant entries.

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.

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.  It is a no-op in
963ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	other operation levels.

965e4c67b94SJeff Roberson20080312:
966e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	Support for KSE threading has been removed from the kernel.  To
967e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	run legacy applications linked against KSE libmap.conf may
968e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	be used.  The following libmap.conf may be used to ensure
969e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	compatibility with any prior release:
970e4c67b94SJeff Roberson
971e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	libpthread.so.1 libthr.so.1

9758775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar20080301:
9768775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	The layout of struct vmspace has changed. 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.

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.

9891669d8afSAndrew Thompson20080220:
9901669d8afSAndrew Thompson	The new geom_lvm(4) geom class has been renamed to geom_linux_lvm(4),

9932427fa19SKris Kennaway20080211:
9942427fa19SKris Kennaway	The default NFS mount mode has changed from UDP to TCP for
9952427fa19SKris Kennaway	increased reliability.  If you rely on (insecurely) NFS
9962427fa19SKris Kennaway	mounting across a firewall you may need to update your

10025e9f6b73SSam Leffler
100348aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy20080126:
100448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	The fts(3) structures have been changed to use adequate
100548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	integer types for their members and so to be able to cope
100648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	with huge file trees.  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.

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.

1022ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato20071128:
1023ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato	The ADAPTIVE_GIANT kernel option has been retired because its

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"

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.

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.

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.

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.

1151f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	To cross-install current onto a separate partition
1152f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	--------------------------------------------------
1153f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1154f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories.   A partition
1155f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
1156f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# size.

1175456b5dd8SWarner Losh	To upgrade in-place from 8.x-stable to current
1176f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	----------------------------------------------
1177f643de42SWarner Losh	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
117821c075eaSWarner Losh	make buildworld					[9]

1186ba26da8eSWarner Losh	<reboot>
1187ba26da8eSWarner Losh
1188fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1189fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
1190fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1191fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1192fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
1193ba26da8eSWarner Losh
11941dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
11951dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
11961dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
11971dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
11981dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.
11991dece4a9SWarner Losh
1200134d2e86SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1201134d2e86SWarner Losh	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1202134d2e86SWarner Losh	system on reboot.
1203134d2e86SWarner Losh
1204ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1205ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		fsck -p
1206ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -u /
1207ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -a
12086586253aSWarner Losh		cd src
120947d0d01fSWarner Losh		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
1210f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1211f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1212ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh
1213a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  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.
