144f1def68SWarner LoshNOTE: FreeBSD has switched from gcc to clang. If you have trouble bootstrapping
15a46954e2SWarner Loshfrom older versions of FreeBSD, try WITHOUT_CLANG and WITH_GCC to bootstrap to
16a8f2a2b9SEd Mastethe tip of head, and then rebuild without this option. The bootstrap process
17a8f2a2b9SEd Mastefrom older version of current across the gcc/clang cutover is a bit fragile.

19b9583179SGlen BarberNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 13.x IS SLOW:
20b9583179SGlen Barber	FreeBSD 13.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
21456b5dd8SWarner Losh	and userland.  These features attempt to detect incorrect use of
22456b5dd8SWarner Losh	system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity
23456b5dd8SWarner Losh	checking and fail stop semantics.  They also substantially impact
24456b5dd8SWarner Losh	system performance.  If you want to do performance measurement,
25456b5dd8SWarner Losh	benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off.  This
26456b5dd8SWarner Losh	includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc
27456b5dd8SWarner Losh	debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the
28456b5dd8SWarner Losh	kernel.  Many developers choose to disable these features on build
2999e449f2SJason Evans	machines to maximize performance.  (To completely disable malloc
3099e449f2SJason Evans	debugging, define MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf, or to merely
3199e449f2SJason Evans	disable the most expensive debugging functionality run
32fca3dcdfSWarner Losh	"ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".)

34*468002c5SWarner Losh20181015:
35*468002c5SWarner Losh	Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. Now, amd64 users should
36*468002c5SWarner Losh	just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install
37*468002c5SWarner Losh	drm-legacy-kmod.
38*468002c5SWarner Losh
39*468002c5SWarner Losh	Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with
40*468002c5SWarner Losh	drm-kmod.  For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need
41*468002c5SWarner Losh	to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older
42*468002c5SWarner Losh	than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can
43*468002c5SWarner Losh	only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the
44*468002c5SWarner Losh	market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you
45*468002c5SWarner Losh	have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use
46*468002c5SWarner Losh	that as you will get better support.
47*468002c5SWarner Losh
48*468002c5SWarner Losh	Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined
49*468002c5SWarner Losh	elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base
50*468002c5SWarner Losh	soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package asap
51*468002c5SWarner Losh	and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org.
52*468002c5SWarner Losh
53*468002c5SWarner Losh	Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add
54*468002c5SWarner Losh	WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty
55*468002c5SWarner Losh	cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver
56*468002c5SWarner Losh	loading from X11 startup. These will become the defaults in 13-current
57*468002c5SWarner Losh	shortly.
58*468002c5SWarner Losh
591da7787fSGlen Barber20181009:
601da7787fSGlen Barber	OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1.  This update included
611da7787fSGlen Barber	additional various API changes througout the base system.  It is
621da7787fSGlen Barber	important to rebuild third-party software after upgrading.  The value
631da7787fSGlen Barber	of __FreeBSD_version has been bumped accordingly.
641da7787fSGlen Barber
65532dc172SKyle Evans20181006:
66532dc172SKyle Evans	The legacy DRM modules and drivers have now been added to the loader's
67532dc172SKyle Evans	module blacklist, in favor of loading them with kld_list in rc.conf(5).
68532dc172SKyle Evans	The module blacklist may be overridden with the loader.conf(5)
69532dc172SKyle Evans	'module_blacklist' variable, but loading them via rc.conf(5) is strongly
70532dc172SKyle Evans	encouraged.
71532dc172SKyle Evans
728ac2f3baSKevin Bowling20181002:
738ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	The cam(4) based nda(4) driver will be used over nvd(4) by default on
748ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	powerpc64. You may set 'options NVME_USE_NVD=1' in your kernel conf or
758ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	loader tunable 'hw.nvme.use_nvd=1' if you wish to use the existing
768ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	driver.  Make sure to edit /boot/etc/kboot.conf and fstab to use the
778ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	nda device name.
788ac2f3baSKevin Bowling
798d66f7beSEd Maste20180913:
808d66f7beSEd Maste	Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for
818d66f7beSEd Maste	FreeBSD 12.0.  This eliminates build metadata such as the user,
828d66f7beSEd Maste	host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree
838d66f7beSEd Maste	corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system.
848d66f7beSEd Maste	The previous behavior can be obtained by setting the /etc/src.conf
858d66f7beSEd Maste	knob WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD.
868d66f7beSEd Maste
8719fa89e9SMark Murray20180826:
8819fa89e9SMark Murray	The Yarrow CSPRNG has been removed from the kernel as it has not been
8919fa89e9SMark Murray	supported by its designers since at least 2003. Fortuna has been the
9019fa89e9SMark Murray	default since FreeBSD-11.
9119fa89e9SMark Murray
920fb707ecSWarner Losh20180822:
930fb707ecSWarner Losh	devctl freeze/thaw have gone into the tree, the rc scripts have been
9484b9dfe4SWarner Losh	updated to use them and devmatch has been changed.  You should update
9584b9dfe4SWarner Losh	kernel, userland and rc scripts all at the same time.
9684b9dfe4SWarner Losh
97f9f8ac94SKyle Evans20180818:
98f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua.
99f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default
100f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	interpreter.  If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set
101f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in
102f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	src.conf for the build.  This will create default hard links between
103f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default.
104f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi.
105f9f8ac94SKyle Evans
106295506bfSWarner Losh	bhyve uses userboot.so. It remains 4th-only until some issues are solved
107295506bfSWarner Losh	regarding coexisting with multiple versions of FreeBSD are resolved.
108295506bfSWarner Losh
10972ad696aSKyle Evans20180815:
11072ad696aSKyle Evans	ls(1) now respects the COLORTERM environment variable used in other
11172ad696aSKyle Evans	systems and software to indicate that a colored terminal is both
11272ad696aSKyle Evans	supported and desired.  If ls(1) is suddenly emitting colors, they may
113e10ba800SKyle Evans	be disabled again by either removing the unwanted COLORTERM from your
114e10ba800SKyle Evans	environment, or using `ls --color=never`.  The ls(1) specific CLICOLOR
115e10ba800SKyle Evans	may not be observed in a future release.
11672ad696aSKyle Evans
11747cc9ee1SAlan Somers20180808:
11847cc9ee1SAlan Somers	The default pager for most commands has been changed to "less".  To
11947cc9ee1SAlan Somers	restore the old behavior, set PAGER="more" and MANPAGER="more -s" in
12047cc9ee1SAlan Somers	your environment.
12147cc9ee1SAlan Somers
122b5988450SRavi Pokala20180731:
123b5988450SRavi Pokala	The jedec_ts(4) driver has been removed. A superset of its functionality
124b5988450SRavi Pokala	is available in the jedec_dimm(4) driver, and the manpage for that
125b5988450SRavi Pokala	driver includes migration instructions. If you have "device jedec_ts"
126b5988450SRavi Pokala	in your kernel configuration file, it must be removed.
127b5988450SRavi Pokala
128164138e7SKyle Evans20180730:
129164138e7SKyle Evans	amd64/GENERIC now has EFI runtime services, EFIRT, enabled by default.
130dfa6eec2SKyle Evans	This should have no effect if the kernel is booted via BIOS/legacy boot.
1311ddc8a8eSKyle Evans	EFIRT may be disabled via a loader tunable, efi.rt.disabled, if a system
132164138e7SKyle Evans	has a buggy firmware that prevents a successful boot due to use of
133164138e7SKyle Evans	runtime services.
134164138e7SKyle Evans
135411e4219SWarner Losh20180727:
136411e4219SWarner Losh	Atmel AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9, Cavium CNS 11xx and XScale
137411e4219SWarner Losh	support has been removed from the tree. These ports were
138411e4219SWarner Losh	obsolete and/or known to be broken for many years.
139411e4219SWarner Losh
140b43c6042SWarner Losh20180723:
141b43c6042SWarner Losh	loader.efi has been augmented to participate more fully in the
142663472dfSWarner Losh	UEFI boot manager protocol. loader.efi will now look at the
143663472dfSWarner Losh	BootXXXX environment variable to determine if a specific kernel
144663472dfSWarner Losh	or root partition was specified. XXXX is derived from BootCurrent.
145663472dfSWarner Losh	efibootmgr(8) manages these standard UEFI variables.
146b43c6042SWarner Losh
147d397afa3SWarner Losh20180720:
148d397afa3SWarner Losh	zfsloader's functionality has now been folded into loader.
1495f9d7aafSEd Maste	zfsloader is no longer necessary once you've updated your
1503b741022SWarner Losh	boot blocks. For a transition period, we will install a
1513b741022SWarner Losh	hardlink for zfsloader to loader to allow a smooth transition
1523b741022SWarner Losh	until the boot blocks can be updated (hard link because old
1533b741022SWarner Losh	zfs boot blocks don't understand symlinks).
154d397afa3SWarner Losh
155d0e46652SIan Lepore20180719:
156c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	ARM64 now have efifb support, if you want to have serial console
157c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	on your arm64 board when an screen is connected and the bootloader
158c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	setup a frambuffer for us to use, just add :
159c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	boot_serial=YES
160c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	boot_multicons=YES
161c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	in /boot/loader.conf
162c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	For Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI) users, this is needed even if you don't have
163c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	an screen connected as the firmware will setup a framebuffer are that
164c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	u-boot will expose as an EFI framebuffer.
165c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot
166c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot20180719:
167d0e46652SIan Lepore	New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123).  Be sure to run mergemaster
168d0e46652SIan Lepore	or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on
1690d77d170SIan Lepore	existing systems.  Do not skip the "mergemaster -Fp" step before
1700d77d170SIan Lepore	installworld, as described in the update procedures near the bottom
1710d77d170SIan Lepore	of this document.  Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd
172d0e46652SIan Lepore	if the new mac_ntpd(4) policy is available, unless ntpd_flags or
173d0e46652SIan Lepore	the ntp config file contain options that change file/dir locations.
174d0e46652SIan Lepore	When such options (e.g., "statsdir" or "crypto") are used, ntpd can
175d0e46652SIan Lepore	still be run as non-root by setting ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf, after
176d0e46652SIan Lepore	taking steps to ensure that all required files/dirs are accessible
177d0e46652SIan Lepore	by the ntpd user.
178d0e46652SIan Lepore
179dbe8ed38SWarner Losh20180717:
180dbe8ed38SWarner Losh	Big endian arm support has been removed.
181dbe8ed38SWarner Losh
18244314c35SKyle Evans20180711:
18344314c35SKyle Evans	The static environment setup in kernel configs is no longer mutually
18444314c35SKyle Evans	exclusive with the loader(8) environment by default.  In order to
18544314c35SKyle Evans	restore the previous default behavior of disabling the loader(8)
18644314c35SKyle Evans	environment if a static environment is present, you must specify
18744314c35SKyle Evans	loader_env.disabled=1 in the static environment.
18844314c35SKyle Evans
189f38b68aeSBrooks Davis20180705:
190f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	The ABI of syscalls used by management tools like sockstat and
191f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	netstat has been broken to allow 32-bit binaries to work on
192f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	64-bit kernels without modification.  These programs will need
193f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	to match the kernel in order to function.  External programs may
194f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	require minor modifications to accommodate a change of type in
195f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	structures from pointers to 64-bit virtual addresses.
196f38b68aeSBrooks Davis
197f4b36404SMatt Macy20180702:
198f4b36404SMatt Macy	On i386 and amd64 atomics are now inlined. Out of tree modules using
199f4b36404SMatt Macy	atomics will need to be rebuilt.
200f4b36404SMatt Macy
2010dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski20180701:
2020dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	The '%I' format in the kern.corefile sysctl limits the number of
2030dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	core files that a process can generate to the number stored in the
2040dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	debug.ncores sysctl. The '%I' format is replaced by the single digit
2050dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	index. Previously, if all indexes were taken the kernel would overwrite
2060dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	only a core file with the highest index in a filename.
2070dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free
2080dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	index or if all slots are taken it will overwrite the oldest one.

21055458465SDimitry Andric20180630:
21155458465SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to
21255458465SDimitry Andric	6.0.1.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about
21355458465SDimitry Andric	prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0
21455458465SDimitry Andric	or higher.
21555458465SDimitry Andric
2162fd8cef4SWarner Losh20180628:
2172fd8cef4SWarner Losh	r335753 introduced a new quoting method. However, etc/devd/devmatch.conf
2182fd8cef4SWarner Losh	needed to be changed to work with it. This change was made with r335763
2192fd8cef4SWarner Losh	and requires a mergemaster / etcupdate / etc to update the installed file.
2202fd8cef4SWarner Losh
221fa986e33SRick Macklem20180612:
222fa986e33SRick Macklem	r334930 changed the interface between the NFS modules, so they all
223fa986e33SRick Macklem	need to be rebuilt.  r335018 did a __FreeBSD_version bump for this.
224fa986e33SRick Macklem
2250bf7cdd5SWarner Losh20180530:
2266f282e72SEd Maste	As of r334391 lld is the default amd64 system linker; it is installed
2276f282e72SEd Maste	as /usr/bin/ld.  Kernel build workarounds (see 20180510 entry) are no
2286f282e72SEd Maste	longer necessary.
2296f282e72SEd Maste
2306f282e72SEd Maste20180530:
2310bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	The kernel / userland interface for devinfo changed, so you'll
2320bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	need a new kernel and userland as a pair for it to work (rebuilding
2330bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	lib/libdevinfo is all that's required). devinfo and devmatch will
2340bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	not work, but everything else will when there's a mismatch.
2350bf7cdd5SWarner Losh
2367e1a13f4SMatt Macy20180523:
2377e1a13f4SMatt Macy	The on-disk format for hwpmc callchain records has changed to include
2387e1a13f4SMatt Macy	threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets
2397e1a13f4SMatt Macy	and thus requires that libpmcstat be rebuilt before using a kernel
2407e1a13f4SMatt Macy	later than r334108.
2417e1a13f4SMatt Macy
2426f78fad3SSean Bruno20180517:
2436f78fad3SSean Bruno	The vxge(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was introduced into
2446f78fad3SSean Bruno	HEAD one week before the Exar left the Ethernet market and is not
2456f78fad3SSean Bruno	known to be used.  If you have device vxge in your kernel config file
2466f78fad3SSean Bruno	it must be removed.
2476f78fad3SSean Bruno
2486e258ed3SWarner Losh20180510:
249eb8831b9SWarner Losh	The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a
250eb8831b9SWarner Losh	working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default
251eb8831b9SWarner Losh	on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However,
252eb8831b9SWarner Losh	it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional
253eb8831b9SWarner Losh	way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for
254eb8831b9SWarner Losh	binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement
255eb8831b9SWarner Losh	will go away.
256eb8831b9SWarner Losh
2576f282e72SEd Maste	NOTE: As of r334391 lld is the default system linker on amd64, and no
2586f282e72SEd Maste	workaround is necessary.
2596f282e72SEd Maste
26057b49365SSean Bruno20180508:
26157b49365SSean Bruno	The nxge(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was for PCI-X 10g
26257b49365SSean Bruno	cards made by s2io/Neterion.  The company was aquired by Exar and
26357b49365SSean Bruno	no longer sells or supports Ethernet products.  If you have device
26457b49365SSean Bruno	nxge in your kernel config file it must be removed.
26557b49365SSean Bruno
266ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps20180504:
267ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	The tz database (tzdb) has been updated to 2018e.  This version more
268ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	correctly models time stamps in time zones with negative DST such as
269ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and
270ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	Africa/Windhoek (1994/2017).  This does not affect the UT offsets, only
271ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	time zone abbreviations and the tm_isdst flag.
272ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps
2732695c9c1SSean Bruno20180502:
2742695c9c1SSean Bruno	The ixgb(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was for an early and
2752695c9c1SSean Bruno	uncommon legacy PCI 10GbE for a single ASIC, Intel 82597EX. Intel
2762695c9c1SSean Bruno	quickly shifted to the long lived ixgbe family.  If you have device
2772695c9c1SSean Bruno	ixgb in your kernel config file it must be removed.

279e6a376d1SEd Maste20180501:
280e6a376d1SEd Maste	The lmc(4) driver has been removed.  This was a WAN interface
281e6a376d1SEd Maste	card that was already reportedly rare in 2003, and had an ambiguous
282e6a376d1SEd Maste	license.  If you have device lmc in your kernel config file it must
283e6a376d1SEd Maste	be removed.

2853a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis20180413:
2863a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis	Support for Arcnet networks has been removed.  If you have device
2873a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis	arcnet or device cm in your kernel config file they must be
2883a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis	removed.

2900437c8e3SBrooks Davis20180411:
2910437c8e3SBrooks Davis	Support for FDDI networks has been removed.  If you have device

2958129693eSEd Schouten20180406:
2968129693eSEd Schouten	In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the
2978129693eSEd Schouten	syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted
2988129693eSEd Schouten	log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients
2998129693eSEd Schouten	may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers,
3008129693eSEd Schouten	microseconds and time zone offsets.
3018129693eSEd Schouten
3028129693eSEd Schouten	Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to
3038129693eSEd Schouten	send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging
3048129693eSEd Schouten	daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no
3058129693eSEd Schouten	negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are
3068129693eSEd Schouten	updated at the same time. On systems using a different system
3078129693eSEd Schouten	logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration
3088129693eSEd Schouten	adjustments, depending on the software used.
3098129693eSEd Schouten
3108129693eSEd Schouten	When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local
3118129693eSEd Schouten	input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages:
3128129693eSEd Schouten
3138129693eSEd Schouten		source src {
3148129693eSEd Schouten			unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol));
3158129693eSEd Schouten		}
3168129693eSEd Schouten
3178129693eSEd Schouten	When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option
3188129693eSEd Schouten	of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the
3198129693eSEd Schouten	regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline:
3208129693eSEd Schouten
3218129693eSEd Schouten		module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off")
3228129693eSEd Schouten
3238129693eSEd Schouten	Do note that these changes only affect communication between local
3248129693eSEd Schouten	applications and syslogd(8). The format that syslogd(8) uses to
3258129693eSEd Schouten	store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems
3268129693eSEd Schouten	remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these
3278129693eSEd Schouten	purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the
3288129693eSEd Schouten	future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are
3298129693eSEd Schouten	thus expected to continue to function as before.
3308129693eSEd Schouten
3318129693eSEd Schouten	__FreeBSD_version has been incremented to 1200061 to denote this
3328129693eSEd Schouten	change.
3338129693eSEd Schouten
334c53b0251SBrooks Davis20180328:
33569f0fecbSBrooks Davis	Support for token ring networks has been removed. If you
33669f0fecbSBrooks Davis	have "device token" in your kernel config you should remove
33769f0fecbSBrooks Davis	it. No device drivers supported token ring.
33869f0fecbSBrooks Davis
33972bf324cSBenno Rice20180323:
34072bf324cSBenno Rice	makefs was modified to be able to tag ISO9660 El Torito boot catalog
34172bf324cSBenno Rice	entries as EFI instead of overloading the i386 tag as done previously.
34272bf324cSBenno Rice	The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for
34372bf324cSBenno Rice	release was updated to use this. This may mean that makefs must be
34472bf324cSBenno Rice	updated before "make cdrom" can be run in the release directory. This
34572bf324cSBenno Rice	should be as simple as:
34672bf324cSBenno Rice
34772bf324cSBenno Rice		$ cd $SRCDIR/usr.sbin/makefs
34872bf324cSBenno Rice		$ make depend all install

40186375a7eSWarner Losh20171214:
40286375a7eSWarner Losh	r362593 broke ZFS + GELI support for reasons unknown. However,
40386375a7eSWarner Losh	it also broke ZFS support generally, so GELI has been turned off
404e02f5a18SJens Schweikhardt	by default as the lesser evil in r326857. If you boot off ZFS and/or

5569dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170623:
5575ab191c4SWarner Losh	Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This
5585ab191c4SWarner Losh	will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
5595ab191c4SWarner Losh	fashion.  This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
5605ab191c4SWarner Losh	upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
5615ab191c4SWarner Losh	the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
562a28412b0SEd Maste	enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations.
5639dd39fd6SWarner Losh
5649dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170620:
5659dd39fd6SWarner Losh	Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler). Set WITH_GPL_DTC

56833ecebd1SRick Macklem20170618:
56933ecebd1SRick Macklem	The internal ABI used for communication between the NFS kernel modules
57033ecebd1SRick Macklem	was changed by r320085, so __FreeBSD_version was bumped to
57133ecebd1SRick Macklem	ensure all the NFS related modules are updated together.

5739a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov20170617:
5749a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	The ABI of struct event was changed by extending the data
5759a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	member to 64bit and adding ext fields.  For upgrade, same
5769a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be
5779a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	followed.

579472c2b48SEd Maste20170531:
580472c2b48SEd Maste	The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base. To render manpages
581472c2b48SEd Maste	which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff
582472c2b48SEd Maste	from ports (and recommends to install it).
583472c2b48SEd Maste	To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the

5879949595eSAdrian Chadd20170524:
5889949595eSAdrian Chadd	The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
5899949595eSAdrian Chadd	smaller runtime footprint builds.  This is useful for embedded systems
5909949595eSAdrian Chadd	which only require one chipset support.
5919949595eSAdrian Chadd
5929949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
5939949595eSAdrian Chadd
5949949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath_load="YES"
5959949595eSAdrian Chadd
5969949595eSAdrian Chadd	This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
5979949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
5989949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
5999949595eSAdrian Chadd
6009949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
6019949595eSAdrian Chadd	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
6029949595eSAdrian Chadd
6039949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_hal
6049949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load the chip modules in question
6059949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
6069949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_main
6079949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular

612b149eba4SEd Maste20170523:
613b149eba4SEd Maste	The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
614dcfffd04SEd Maste	a number of types to 64 bits.  Upgrading in place requires care and
615dcfffd04SEd Maste	adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
616dcfffd04SEd Maste
617dcfffd04SEd Maste	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
618dcfffd04SEd Maste	COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
619dcfffd04SEd Maste	system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
620dcfffd04SEd Maste
621dcfffd04SEd Maste	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
622dcfffd04SEd Maste	artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*".   Then, carefully follow the
623dcfffd04SEd Maste	full procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild
624dcfffd04SEd Maste	everything and install it on the current system."  Specifically,
625dcfffd04SEd Maste	a reboot is required after installing the new kernel before
626dcfffd04SEd Maste	installing world.

633a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin20170420:
634a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff has been replaced by a BSD licensed diff. Some features of GNU
635a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	diff has not been implemented, if those are needed a newer version of
636a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff is available via the diffutils package under the gdiff name.

6385810e45bSCy Schubert20170413:
6395810e45bSCy Schubert	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
6405810e45bSCy Schubert	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
6415810e45bSCy Schubert	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
642a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
6435810e45bSCy Schubert	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
6445810e45bSCy Schubert	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
6450cad3ecaSCy Schubert	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
6465810e45bSCy Schubert
6471bf5e133SEd Maste20170407:
6481bf5e133SEd Maste	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
6491bf5e133SEd Maste	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be
6501bf5e133SEd Maste	installed. To continue using aarch64-binutils, set

6630458b265SEnji Cooper20170329:
6640458b265SEnji Cooper	The ctl.ko module no longer implements the iSCSI target frontend:
6650458b265SEnji Cooper	cfiscsi.ko does instead.
6660458b265SEnji Cooper
6670458b265SEnji Cooper	If building cfiscsi.ko as a kernel module, the module can be loaded
6680458b265SEnji Cooper	via one of the following methods:
6690458b265SEnji Cooper	- `cfiscsi_load="YES"` in loader.conf(5).
6700458b265SEnji Cooper	- Add `cfiscsi` to `$kld_list` in rc.conf(5).
6710458b265SEnji Cooper	- ctladm(8)/ctld(8), when compiled with iSCSI support

67672dec079SMarius Strobl20170316:
67772dec079SMarius Strobl	The mmcsd.ko module now additionally depends on geom_flashmap.ko.
67872dec079SMarius Strobl	Also, mmc.ko and mmcsd.ko need to be a matching pair built from the
67972dec079SMarius Strobl	same source (previously, the dependency of mmcsd.ko on mmc.ko was
68072dec079SMarius Strobl	missing, but mmcsd.ko now will refuse to load if it is incompatible

6836ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov20170315:
6846ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	The syntax of ipfw(8) named states was changed to avoid ambiguity.
6856ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	If you have used named states in the firewall rules, you need to modify
6866ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	them after installworld and before rebooting. Now named states must

8301b82e02fSAlan Somers20160523:
8311b82e02fSAlan Somers	The bitstring(3) API has been updated with new functionality and
8321b82e02fSAlan Somers	improved performance.  But it is binary-incompatible with the old API.
8331b82e02fSAlan Somers	Objects built with the new headers may not be linked against objects
8341b82e02fSAlan Somers	built with the old headers.

83694098ab7SAndrew Turner20160520:
83794098ab7SAndrew Turner	The brk and sbrk functions have been removed from libc on arm64.
83894098ab7SAndrew Turner	Binutils from ports has been updated to not link to these
83994098ab7SAndrew Turner	functions and should be updated to the latest version before
84094098ab7SAndrew Turner	installing a new libc.

8422c0e9e2aSWarner Losh20160517:
8432c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	The armv6 port now defaults to hard float ABI. Limited support
8442c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	for running both hardfloat and soft float on the same system
8452c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	is available using the libraries installed with -DWITH_LIBSOFT.
8462c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	This has only been tested as an upgrade path for installworld
8472c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	and packages may fail or need manual intervention to run. New
8482c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	packages will be needed.
8492c0e9e2aSWarner Losh
850957fc425SIan Lepore	To update an existing self-hosted armv6hf system, you must add
851957fc425SIan Lepore	TARGET_ARCH=armv6 on the make command line for both the build
852957fc425SIan Lepore	and the install steps.

8545f0263c1SJohn Baldwin20160510:
8555f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	Kernel modules compiled outside of a kernel build now default to
8565f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	installing to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.  Many kernel
8575f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	modules built this way (such as those in ports) already overrode
8585f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	KMODDIR explicitly to install into /boot/modules.  However,
8595f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	manually building and installing a module from /sys/modules will
8605f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	now install to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.

86213694b35SWarner Losh20160414:
863a1743365SWarner Losh	The CAM I/O scheduler has been committed to the kernel. There should be
864a1743365SWarner Losh	no user visible impact. This does enable NCQ Trim on ada SSDs. While the
865a1743365SWarner Losh	list of known rogues that claim support for this but actually corrupt
866a1743365SWarner Losh	data is believed to be complete, be on the lookout for data
867a1743365SWarner Losh	corruption. The known rogue list is believed to be complete:
868a1743365SWarner Losh
869a1743365SWarner Losh		o Crucial MX100, M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
870a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M510 and M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
871a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M500 prior to MU07 firmware
872a1743365SWarner Losh		o Samsung 830, 840, and 850 all firmwares
873a1743365SWarner Losh		o FCCT M500 all firmwares
874a1743365SWarner Losh
875a1743365SWarner Losh	Crucial has firmware http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware
876a1743365SWarner Losh	with working NCQ TRIM. For Micron branded drives, see your sales rep for
877a1743365SWarner Losh	updated firmware. Black listed drives will work correctly because these
878a1743365SWarner Losh	drives work correctly so long as no NCQ TRIMs are sent to them. Given
879a1743365SWarner Losh	this list is the same as found in Linux, it's believed there are no
880a1743365SWarner Losh	other rogues in the market place. All other models from the above
881a1743365SWarner Losh	vendors work.
882a1743365SWarner Losh
883a1743365SWarner Losh	To be safe, if you are at all concerned, you can quirk each of your
884a1743365SWarner Losh	drives to prevent NCQ from being sent by setting:
885a1743365SWarner Losh		kern.cam.ada.X.quirks="0x2"
886a1743365SWarner Losh	in loader.conf. If the drive requires the 4k sector quirk, set the

889497e8091SBryan Drewery20160330:
890497e8091SBryan Drewery	The FAST_DEPEND build option has been removed and its functionality is
891497e8091SBryan Drewery	now the one true way.  The old mkdep(1) style of 'make depend' has
892497e8091SBryan Drewery	been removed.  See 20160311 for further details.
893497e8091SBryan Drewery
894da1b038aSJustin Hibbits20160317:
895da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	Resource range types have grown from unsigned long to uintmax_t.  All
896da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	drivers, and anything using libdevinfo, need to be recompiled.
897da1b038aSJustin Hibbits
898d783b170SBryan Drewery20160311:
899d783b170SBryan Drewery	WITH_FAST_DEPEND is now enabled by default for in-tree and out-of-tree
900d783b170SBryan Drewery	builds.  It no longer runs mkdep(1) during 'make depend', and the
901d783b170SBryan Drewery	'make depend' stage can safely be skipped now as it is auto ran
902d783b170SBryan Drewery	when building 'make all' and will generate all SRCS and DPSRCS before
903d783b170SBryan Drewery	building anything else.  Dependencies are gathered at compile time with
904d783b170SBryan Drewery	-MF flags kept in separate .depend files per object file.  Users should
905d783b170SBryan Drewery	run 'make cleandepend' once if using -DNO_CLEAN to clean out older
906d783b170SBryan Drewery	stale .depend files.

908c834228bSDimitry Andric20160306:
909c834228bSDimitry Andric	On amd64, clang 3.8.0 can now insert sections of type AMD64_UNWIND into
910c834228bSDimitry Andric	kernel modules.  Therefore, if you load any kernel modules at boot time,
911c834228bSDimitry Andric	please install the boot loaders after you install the kernel, but before
912c834228bSDimitry Andric	rebooting, e.g.:
913c834228bSDimitry Andric
914c834228bSDimitry Andric	make buildworld
915779f392bSJohn Baldwin	make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

923e74e149fSDimitry Andric20160305:
924e74e149fSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb and compiler-rt have been upgraded to 3.8.0.  Please
925e74e149fSDimitry Andric	see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and

9288b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin20160301:
9298b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	The AIO subsystem is now a standard part of the kernel.  The
9308b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	VFS_AIO kernel option and aio.ko kernel module have been removed.
9318b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	Due to stability concerns, asynchronous I/O requests are only
9328b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	permitted on sockets and raw disks by default.  To enable
9338b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	asynchronous I/O requests on all file types, set the
9348b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl to a non-zero value.
9358b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin
936de463b29SEd Maste20160226:
937ca8b902aSEd Maste	The ELF object manipulation tool objcopy is now provided by the
938ca8b902aSEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain project rather than by GNU binutils. It should be a
939ca8b902aSEd Maste	drop-in replacement, with the addition of arm64 support. The
940ca8b902aSEd Maste	(temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set
941ca8b902aSEd Maste	to obtain the GNU version if necessary.

943d4b9233aSAlan Somers20160129:
944d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Building ZFS pools on top of zvols is prohibited by default.  That
945d4b9233aSAlan Somers	feature has never worked safely; it's always been prone to deadlocks.
946d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Using a zvol as the backing store for a VM guest's virtual disk will
947d4b9233aSAlan Somers	still work, even if the guest is using ZFS.  Legacy behavior can be
948d4b9233aSAlan Somers	restored by setting vfs.zfs.vol.recursive=1.

95060c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav20160119:
95160c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	The NONE and HPN patches has been removed from OpenSSH.  They are

9543bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo20160113:
9553bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	With the addition of ypldap(8), a new _ypldap user is now required
9563bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add the user
9573bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
9583bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo
9594d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin20151216:
9604d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	The tftp loader (pxeboot) now uses the option root-path directive. As a
9614d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	consequence it no longer looks for a pxeboot.4th file on the tftp
9624d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	server. Instead it uses the regular /boot infrastructure as with the
9634d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	other loaders.
9644d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin
965ca7e5285SWarner Losh20151211:
966ca7e5285SWarner Losh	The code to start recording plug and play data into the modules has
967ca7e5285SWarner Losh	been committed. While the old tools will properly build a new kernel,
968ca7e5285SWarner Losh	a number of warnings about "unknown metadata record 4" will be produced
969ca7e5285SWarner Losh	for an older kldxref. To avoid such warnings, make sure to rebuild
970ca7e5285SWarner Losh	the kernel toolchain (or world). Make sure that you have r292078 or
971ca7e5285SWarner Losh	later when trying to build 292077 or later before rebuilding.
972ca7e5285SWarner Losh
973015dfda6SEd Maste20151207:
974015dfda6SEd Maste	Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
975015dfda6SEd Maste	installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
976015dfda6SEd Maste	requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
977015dfda6SEd Maste	world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
978015dfda6SEd Maste	in src.conf(5).
979015dfda6SEd Maste
98033ba1088SRick Macklem20151130:
98133ba1088SRick Macklem	r291527 changed the internal interface between the nfsd.ko and
98233ba1088SRick Macklem	nfscommon.ko modules. As such, they must both be upgraded to-gether.
98333ba1088SRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
98433ba1088SRick Macklem
985af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin20151108:
986af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	Add support for unicode collation strings leads to a change of
987af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	order of files listed by ls(1) for example. To get back to the old
988af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	behaviour, set LC_COLLATE environment variable to "C".
989af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin
9900492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	Databases administrators will need to reindex their databases given
9910492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	collation results will be different.
9920492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin
99310b5202eSBaptiste Daroussin	Due to a bug in install(1) it is recommended to remove the ancient
9941300d6f1SBaptiste Daroussin	locales before running make installworld.

1002ebda5173SAlexander Motin20151020:
1003ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Qlogic 24xx/25xx firmware images were updated from 5.5.0 to 7.3.0.
1004ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Kernel modules isp_2400_multi and isp_2500_multi were removed and
1005ebda5173SAlexander Motin	should be replaced with isp_2400 and isp_2500 modules respectively.
1006ebda5173SAlexander Motin
100756585ab5SBryan Drewery20151017:
100856585ab5SBryan Drewery	The build previously allowed using 'make -n' to not recurse into
100956585ab5SBryan Drewery	sub-directories while showing what commands would be executed, and
101056585ab5SBryan Drewery	'make -n -n' to recursively show commands.  Now 'make -n' will recurse
101156585ab5SBryan Drewery	and 'make -N' will not.
101256585ab5SBryan Drewery
1013ff446b05SPeter Wemm20151012:
1014ff446b05SPeter Wemm	If you specify SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF in make.conf, mergemaster
1015ff446b05SPeter Wemm	and etcupdate will now use this file. A custom sendmail.cf is now
1016ff446b05SPeter Wemm	updated via this mechanism rather than via installworld.  If you had
1017ff446b05SPeter Wemm	excluded sendmail.cf in mergemaster.rc or etcupdate.conf, you may
1018ff446b05SPeter Wemm	want to remove the exclusion or change it to "always install".
1019ff446b05SPeter Wemm	/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is now managed the same way regardless of
1020ff446b05SPeter Wemm	whether SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF is used.  If you are not using
1021ff446b05SPeter Wemm	SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF there should be no change in behavior.
1022ff446b05SPeter Wemm
10234a3760baSAlexander Motin20151011:
10244a3760baSAlexander Motin	Compatibility shims for legacy ATA device names have been removed.
10254a3760baSAlexander Motin	It includes ATA_STATIC_ID kernel option, kern.cam.ada.legacy_aliases

10345882166bSEd Maste20150924:
103505117b57SEd Maste	Kernel debug files have been moved to /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/,
103605117b57SEd Maste	and renamed from .symbols to .debug. This reduces the size requirements
103705117b57SEd Maste	on the boot partition or file system and provides consistency with
103805117b57SEd Maste	userland debug files.
103905117b57SEd Maste
104005117b57SEd Maste	When using the supported kernel installation method the
104105117b57SEd Maste	/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel directory will be renamed (to kernel.old)
104205117b57SEd Maste	as is done with /boot/kernel.
104305117b57SEd Maste
104405117b57SEd Maste	Developers wishing to maintain the historical behavior of installing

104764b3b4d6SKristof Provost20150827:
10488ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	The wireless drivers had undergone changes that remove the 'parent
10498ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	interface' from the ifconfig -l output. The rc.d network scripts
10508ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	used to check presence of a parent interface in the list, so old
10518ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	scripts would fail to start wireless networking. Thus, etcupdate(3)
10528ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	or mergemaster(8) run is required after kernel update, to update your
10538ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	rc.d scripts in /etc.
10548ed69220SGleb Smirnoff
10558ed69220SGleb Smirnoff20150827:
105664b3b4d6SKristof Provost	pf no longer supports 'scrub fragment crop' or 'scrub fragment drop-ovl'

1060646041a8SMark Murray20150817:
1061646041a8SMark Murray	Kernel-loadable modules for the random(4) device are back. To use
1062646041a8SMark Murray	them, the kernel must have
1063646041a8SMark Murray

1066646041a8SMark Murray
1067646041a8SMark Murray	kldload(8) can then be used to load random_fortuna.ko
1068646041a8SMark Murray	or random_yarrow.ko. Please note that due to the indirect
1069646041a8SMark Murray	function calls that the loadable modules need to provide,
1070646041a8SMark Murray	the build-in variants will be slightly more efficient.
1071646041a8SMark Murray
1072646041a8SMark Murray	The random(4) kernel option RANDOM_DUMMY has been retired due to
1073646041a8SMark Murray	unpopularity. It was not all that useful anyway.

10751bc28ffcSEd Maste20150813:
10761bc28ffcSEd Maste	The WITHOUT_ELFTOOLCHAIN_TOOLS src.conf(5) knob has been retired.
10771bc28ffcSEd Maste	Control over building the ELF Tool Chain tools is now provided by

1080e7dbaf58SIan Lepore20150810:
1081e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	The polarity of Pulse Per Second (PPS) capture events with the
1082e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	uart(4) driver has been corrected.  Prior to this change the PPS
1083e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	"assert" event corresponded to the trailing edge of a positive PPS
1084e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	pulse and the "clear" event was the leading edge of the next pulse.
1085e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1086e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	As the width of a PPS pulse in a typical GPS receiver is on the
1087e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	order of 1 millisecond, most users will not notice any significant
1088e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	difference with this change.
1089e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1090e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	Anyone who has compensated for the historical polarity reversal by
1091e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	configuring a negative offset equal to the pulse width will need to
1092e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	remove that workaround.

11121635369eSSteven Hartland20150728:
111368d5f492SSteven Hartland	As ZFS requires more kernel stack pages than is the default on some
11141635369eSSteven Hartland	architectures e.g. i386, it now warns if KSTACK_PAGES is less than
11151635369eSSteven Hartland	ZFS_MIN_KSTACK_PAGES (which is 4 at the time of writing).
11161635369eSSteven Hartland
11171635369eSSteven Hartland	Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=X' where X is greater
11181635369eSSteven Hartland	than or equal to ZFS_MIN_KSTACK_PAGES i.e. 4 in such configurations.

1120ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro20150706:
1121ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail has been updated to 8.15.2.  Starting with FreeBSD 11.0
1122ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	and sendmail 8.15, sendmail uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by
1123ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	default, i.e., they will not contain "::".  For example, instead
1124ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	of ::1, it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1.  This permits a zero subnet
1125ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	to have a more specific match, such as different map entries for
1126ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0.  This change requires that configuration
1127ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	data (including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset, etc.) must
1128ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	use the same format, so make certain such configuration data is
1129ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	upgrading.  As a very simple check search for patterns like
1130ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'.  To return to the old
1131ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	behavior, set the m4 option confUSE_COMPRESSED_IPV6_ADDRESSES or
1132ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	the cf option UseCompressedIPv6Addresses.

1134d1b06863SMark Murray20150630:
1135d1b06863SMark Murray	The default kernel entropy-processing algorithm is now
1136d1b06863SMark Murray	Fortuna, replacing Yarrow.
11376f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1138d1b06863SMark Murray	Assuming you have 'device random' in your kernel config
1139d1b06863SMark Murray	file, the configurations allow a kernel option to override
1140d1b06863SMark Murray	this default. You may choose *ONE* of:
11416f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1142d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_YARROW	# Legacy /dev/random algorithm.
1143d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_DUMMY	# Blocking-only driver.
11446f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1145d1b06863SMark Murray	If you have neither, you get Fortuna.  For most people,
1146d1b06863SMark Murray	read no further, Fortuna will give a /dev/random that works
1147d1b06863SMark Murray	like it always used to, and the difference will be irrelevant.
11486f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1149d1b06863SMark Murray	If you remove 'device random', you get *NO* kernel-processed
115002dcb6e0SEitan Adler	entropy at all. This may be acceptable to folks building
1151d1b06863SMark Murray	embedded systems, but has complications. Carry on reading,
1152d1b06863SMark Murray	and it is assumed you know what you need.
1153d1b06863SMark Murray
1154d1b06863SMark Murray	*PLEASE* read random(4) and random(9) if you are in the
115502dcb6e0SEitan Adler	habit of tweaking kernel configs, and/or if you are a member
1156d1b06863SMark Murray	of the embedded community, wanting specific and not-usual
1157d1b06863SMark Murray	behaviour from your security subsystems.
1158d1b06863SMark Murray
1159d1b06863SMark Murray	NOTE!! If you use RANDOM_DUMMY and/or have no 'device
1160d1b06863SMark Murray	random', you will NOT have a functioning /dev/random, and
1161d1b06863SMark Murray	many cryptographic features will not work, including SSH.
1162d1b06863SMark Murray	You may also find strange behaviour from the random(3) set
1163d1b06863SMark Murray	of library functions, in particular sranddev(3), srandomdev(3)
1164d1b06863SMark Murray	and arc4random(3). The reason for this is that the KERN_ARND
1165d1b06863SMark Murray	sysctl only returns entropy if it thinks it has some to
1166d1b06863SMark Murray	share, and with RANDOM_DUMMY or no 'device random' this
1167d1b06863SMark Murray	will never happen.

1318143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm and lldb have been upgraded to 3.5.0 release.
1319143c11b4SDimitry Andric
13200ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	As of this release, a prerequisite for building clang, llvm and lldb is
13210ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	a C++11 capable compiler and C++11 standard library.  This means that to
1322143c11b4SDimitry Andric	be able to successfully build the cross-tools stage of buildworld, with
1323143c11b4SDimitry Andric	clang as the bootstrap compiler, your system compiler or cross compiler
1324143c11b4SDimitry Andric	should either be clang 3.3 or later, or gcc 4.8 or later, and your
1325143c11b4SDimitry Andric	system C++ library should be libc++, or libdstdc++ from gcc 4.8 or
1326143c11b4SDimitry Andric	later.
1327143c11b4SDimitry Andric
13280ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	On any standard FreeBSD 10.x or 11.x installation, where clang and
13290ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	libc++ are on by default (that is, on x86 or arm), this should work out
13300ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	of the box.
1331143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1332143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 9.x installations where clang is enabled by default, e.g. on x86 and
1333143c11b4SDimitry Andric	powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be
1334143c11b4SDimitry Andric	built (with clang) and installed first.  If both clang and libc++ are
1335143c11b4SDimitry Andric	missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++.
1336143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1337143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow
1338143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the instructions for 9.x above.
1339143c11b4SDimitry Andric
13400ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by
13410ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	default, and do not build clang.
13420ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
13430ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to
13440ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all.  In those
13450ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround.
13460ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
1347143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which
1348143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the following are most likely to appear:
1349143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1350143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wabsolute-value
1351143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1352143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This warns in two cases, for both C and C++:
1353143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned
1354143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was
1355143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  intended.  The code should be fixed, if at all possible.  If you are
1356143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without
1357143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit
1358143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  cast, or disable the warning.
1359143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1360143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called
1361143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation.
1362143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please
1363143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted
1364143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  side-effects.

1369143c11b4SDimitry Andric	These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while
1370143c11b4SDimitry Andric	'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code.  However, there is
1371143c11b4SDimitry Andric	some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this
1372143c11b4SDimitry Andric	feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions.
1373143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1374143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Squid and openjdk do this, for example.  The warning can be turned off
1375143c11b4SDimitry Andric	for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result
1376143c11b4SDimitry Andric	in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are
1377143c11b4SDimitry Andric	unreachable could be optimized away.

147718aa7fccSRick Macklem	Commit r268115 has added NFSv4.1 server support, merged from
147818aa7fccSRick Macklem	projects/nfsv4.1-server.  Since this includes changes to the
147918aa7fccSRick Macklem	internal interfaces between the NFS related modules, a full

1493727a7ce8SJulio Merino20140606:
1494727a7ce8SJulio Merino	The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and
1495727a7ce8SJulio Merino	1 respectively to match the upstream numbers.  They were out of
1496727a7ce8SJulio Merino	sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the
1497727a7ce8SJulio Merino	upstream versions were not respected.  These libraries are private
1498727a7ce8SJulio Merino	and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a
1499727a7ce8SJulio Merino	non-issue.  However, unclean source trees will yield broken test
1500727a7ce8SJulio Merino	programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a
1501727a7ce8SJulio Merino	"make installworld".
1502727a7ce8SJulio Merino
15038c7ec47aSJulio Merino	Additionally, the atf-sh binary was made private by moving it into
15048c7ec47aSJulio Merino	/usr/libexec/.  Already-built shell test programs will keep the
15058c7ec47aSJulio Merino	path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old"
15068c7ec47aSJulio Merino	is run.
15078c7ec47aSJulio Merino
1508727a7ce8SJulio Merino	If you are using WITH_TESTS=yes (not the default), wipe the object
1509727a7ce8SJulio Merino	tree and rebuild from scratch to prevent spurious test failures.
15108c7ec47aSJulio Merino	This is only needed once: the misnumbered libraries and misplaced
15118c7ec47aSJulio Merino	binaries have been added to OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc so they will
15128c7ec47aSJulio Merino	be removed during a clean upgrade.

151485d60e68SDimitry Andric20140512:

1517fa114234SWarner Losh20140508:
1518fa114234SWarner Losh	We bogusly installed src.opts.mk in /usr/share/mk. This file should
1519fa114234SWarner Losh	be removed to avoid issues in the future (and has been added to
1520fa114234SWarner Losh	ObsoleteFiles.inc).
1521fa114234SWarner Losh
1522a46954e2SWarner Losh20140505:
1523a46954e2SWarner Losh	/etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the
1524a46954e2SWarner Losh	past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old
1525a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this
1526a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf
1527a46954e2SWarner Losh	(which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the
1528a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual
152959a24370SWarner Losh	directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that.
1530a46954e2SWarner Losh	Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios,
153155b76981SWarner Losh	other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of
153255b76981SWarner Losh	temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld
153359a24370SWarner Losh	as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this
153459a24370SWarner Losh	setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree.
1535a46954e2SWarner Losh
1536bd871f14SWarner Losh	One side effect of all this cleaning up is that bsd.compiler.mk
1537bd871f14SWarner Losh	is no longer implicitly included by bsd.own.mk. If you wish to
1538bd871f14SWarner Losh	use COMPILER_TYPE, you must now explicitly include bsd.compiler.mk
1539bd871f14SWarner Losh	as well.

1545e9aba509SEnji Cooper20140424:
1546e9aba509SEnji Cooper	The knob WITHOUT_VI was added to the base system, which controls
1547e9aba509SEnji Cooper	building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1)
1548e9aba509SEnji Cooper	in order to reorder files share/termcap and didn't build ex(1) as a
1549e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build tool, so building/installing with WITH_VI is highly advised for
1550e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build hosts for older releases.
1551e9aba509SEnji Cooper
1552e9aba509SEnji Cooper	This issue has been fixed in stable/9 and stable/10 in r277022 and

15604c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar20140405:
15614c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
15624c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	of the low-level console. Previously the uart(4) driver prevented
15634c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL
15644c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make
15654c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	changes to the serial console port without having to reboot.
15664c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is
15674c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal
15684c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact.
15694c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the
15704c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to
1571086036aaSMarcel Moolenaar	preserve the previous behaviour. E.g:
15724c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	    ttyu0  "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"  vt100  on  secure

1581a9fd2218SWarner Losh	dts files not being supported by the BSDL dtc compiler. You will need
1582a9fd2218SWarner Losh	to rebuild your kernel toolchain to pick up the new compiler. Core dumps
1583a9fd2218SWarner Losh	may result while building dtb files during a kernel build if you fail

15949f23d19aSDimitry Andric	An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
15959f23d19aSDimitry Andric	This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built

1617d7efee23SJulio Merino20140110:
1618d7efee23SJulio Merino	If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile
1619d7efee23SJulio Merino	instead of providing an explicit one, this would prevent such
1620d7efee23SJulio Merino	Makefile from providing its own Kyuafile in the future during
1621d7efee23SJulio Merino	NO_CLEAN builds.  This has been fixed in the Makefiles but manual

16262773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The behavior of gss_pseudo_random() for the krb5 mechanism
16272773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	has changed, for applications requesting a longer random string
16282773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.

1638e01d128aSJulio Merino	has been subsumed into the more generic WITHOUT_TESTS.  If you were
1639e01d128aSJulio Merino	using the former to disable the build of the ATF libraries, you
1640e01d128aSJulio Merino	should change your settings to use the latter.

1643b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	The default version of mtree is nmtree which is obtained from
1644b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	NetBSD.  The output is generally the same, but may vary
1645b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	slightly.  If you found you need identical output adding
1646b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	"-F freebsd9" to the command line should do the trick.  For the
1647b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	time being, the old mtree is available as fmtree.

1664a24eff53SWarner Losh	General Notes
1665a24eff53SWarner Losh	-------------
1666456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Avoid using make -j when upgrading.  While generally safe, there are
1667456b5dd8SWarner Losh	sometimes problems using -j to upgrade.  If your upgrade fails with
16681733d35cSRuslan Ermilov	-j, please try again without -j.  From time to time in the past there
1669456b5dd8SWarner Losh	have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld.  This
1670456b5dd8SWarner Losh	is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one
1671456b5dd8SWarner Losh	that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when
1672456b5dd8SWarner Losh	several months have passed on the -current branch).
1673a24eff53SWarner Losh
16745780f3baSWarner Losh	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
16755780f3baSWarner Losh	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
1676456b5dd8SWarner Losh	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
1677456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
1678456b5dd8SWarner Losh	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
16795780f3baSWarner Losh
16805ad05815SWarner Losh	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
16815ad05815SWarner Losh	upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
16825ad05815SWarner Losh	do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
16835ad05815SWarner Losh	and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try this
16845ad05815SWarner Losh	approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade.  Since
168544c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from
16865ad05815SWarner Losh	anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
16875ad05815SWarner Losh	last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's
16885ad05815SWarner Losh	an exception.
1689081ff8acSDoug Barton
16906eeab389SWarner Losh	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before
1691da0e842aSWarner Losh	installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell
1692da0e842aSWarner Losh	around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your
1693da0e842aSWarner Losh	starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade.
1694da0e842aSWarner Losh
16959c80b8aaSWarner Losh	This file should be read as a log of events. When a later event changes
16969c80b8aaSWarner Losh	information of a prior event, the prior event should not be deleted.
16979c80b8aaSWarner Losh	Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be
16989c80b8aaSWarner Losh	placed in the old entry. Readers of this file should also sanity check
16999c80b8aaSWarner Losh	older entries before relying on them blindly. Authors of new entries
17009c80b8aaSWarner Losh	should write them with this in mind.

17028fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
17038fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
17048fc25799SMartin Matuska	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
17058fc25799SMartin Matuska	these two steps:
17068fc25799SMartin Matuska
17078fc25799SMartin Matuska	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
17088fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
17098fc25799SMartin Matuska
17108fc25799SMartin Matuska	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
17118fc25799SMartin Matuska
17128fc25799SMartin Matuska	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first
171372ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
171472ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0"
17158fc25799SMartin Matuska
17168fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.

1718dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	To build a kernel
1719dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	-----------------
1720ba01eb20SWarner Losh	If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
17211cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
17221cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
17231cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien
17241cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	make kernel-toolchain

1727dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh
17282e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	To test a kernel once
17292e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	---------------------
17302e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
17312e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
17322e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	debugging information) run
17332e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel

1754f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	--------------------------------------------------
1755f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1756f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories.   A partition

1789ba26da8eSWarner Losh	<reboot>
1790ba26da8eSWarner Losh
1791fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1792fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
1793fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1794fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1795fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
1796ba26da8eSWarner Losh
17971dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
17981dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
17991dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
18001dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
18011dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.
18021dece4a9SWarner Losh
1803134d2e86SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1804134d2e86SWarner Losh	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1805134d2e86SWarner Losh	system on reboot.
1806134d2e86SWarner Losh
1807ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1808ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		fsck -p
1809ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -u /
1810ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -a
18116586253aSWarner Losh		cd src
181247d0d01fSWarner Losh		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
1813f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1814f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1815ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh
1816a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
1817a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
1818a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
1819a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
1820a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
182150e8eca6SDoug Barton	for potential gotchas.  The -U option is also useful to consider.
182250e8eca6SDoug Barton	See mergemaster(8) for more information.
1823a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh
182444c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	[5] Usually this step is a no-op.  However, from time to time
1825835284beSWarner Losh	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
1826835284beSWarner Losh	step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.  You may need to
1827835284beSWarner Losh	install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make
1828835284beSWarner Losh	install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
182920e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430.
1830835284beSWarner Losh
183194877c06SAlexander Leidinger	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
183294877c06SAlexander Leidinger	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
183394877c06SAlexander Leidinger	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.
183494877c06SAlexander Leidinger
1835456b5dd8SWarner Losh	[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to
1836456b5dd8SWarner Losh	do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in
1837456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your kernel.  Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is
1838456b5dd8SWarner Losh	hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is
1839456b5dd8SWarner Losh	required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.  And so on
1840456b5dd8SWarner Losh	for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7.
1841c74fe6afSWarner Losh
1842e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
1843e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	last time you updated your kernel config file.
1844e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1845e5f5a852SEitan Adler	[9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
1846e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
1847e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
1848e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1849e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
1850e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
1851e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	warn if it is improperly defined.
