15a53ce3fcSGlen BarberNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 14.x IS SLOW:
16af3993c9SLi-Wen Hsu	FreeBSD 14.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
17456b5dd8SWarner Losh	and userland.  These features attempt to detect incorrect use of
18456b5dd8SWarner Losh	system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity
19456b5dd8SWarner Losh	checking and fail stop semantics.  They also substantially impact
20456b5dd8SWarner Losh	system performance.  If you want to do performance measurement,
21456b5dd8SWarner Losh	benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off.  This
22456b5dd8SWarner Losh	includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc
23456b5dd8SWarner Losh	debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the
24456b5dd8SWarner Losh	kernel.  Many developers choose to disable these features on build
2599e449f2SJason Evans	machines to maximize performance.  (To completely disable malloc
267d4374f6SDimitry Andric	debugging, define WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/src.conf and rebuild
277d4374f6SDimitry Andric	world, or to merely disable the most expensive debugging functionality
287d4374f6SDimitry Andric	at runtime, run "ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".)

30*5860696eSRick Macklem20210611:
31*5860696eSRick Macklem	Commit e1a907a25cfa changed the internal KAPI between the krpc
32*5860696eSRick Macklem	and nfsserver.  As such, both modules must be rebuilt from
33*5860696eSRick Macklem	sources.  Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400022.
34*5860696eSRick Macklem
35b3823943SWarner Losh20210608:
36f530cce5SEd Maste	The vendor/openzfs branch was renamed to vendor/openzfs/legacy to
37b3823943SWarner Losh	start tracking OpenZFS upstream more closely. Please see
38b3823943SWarner Loshhttps://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-current/2021-June/000153.html
39b3823943SWarner Losh	for details on how to correct any errors that might result. The
40b3823943SWarner Losh	short version is that you need to remove the old branch locally:
41b3823943SWarner Losh	    git update-ref -d refs/remotes/freebsd/vendor/openzfs
42b3823943SWarner Losh	(assuming your upstream origin is named 'freebsd').
43b3823943SWarner Losh
44d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb20210525:
45d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb	Commits 17accc08ae15 and de102f870501 add new files to LinuxKPI
46d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb	which break drm-kmod.  In addition various other additions where
47d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb	comitted. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400015 to be able to detect this.
48d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb
491c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot20210513:
501c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	Commit ca179c4d74f2 changed the package in which the OpenSSL
511c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	libraries and utilities are packaged.
5228ce2012SEmmanuel Vadot	It is recommended for pkgbase user to do:
531c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	pkg install -f FreeBSD-openssl
541c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	before pkg upgrade otherwise some dependencies might not be met
551c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	and pkg will stop working as libssl will not be present anymore
561c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	on the system.
571c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot
5801bad87aSRick Macklem20210426:
5901bad87aSRick Macklem	Commit 875977314881 changed the internal KAPI between
6001bad87aSRick Macklem	the nfsd and nfscommon modules.  As such these modules
6101bad87aSRick Macklem	need to be rebuilt from sources.
6201bad87aSRick Macklem	Without this patch in your NFSv4.1/4.2 server, enabling
6301bad87aSRick Macklem	delegations by setting vfs.nfsd.issue_delegations non-zero
6401bad87aSRick Macklem	is not recommended.
6501bad87aSRick Macklem
6668b7d9b5SRick Macklem20210411:
6768b7d9b5SRick Macklem	Commit 7763814fc9c2 changed the internal KAPI between
6868b7d9b5SRick Macklem	the krpc and NFS.  As such, the krpc, nfscommon and
6968b7d9b5SRick Macklem	nfscl modules must all be rebuilt from sources.
70d647d0d4SRick Macklem	Without this patch, NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts should not
71d647d0d4SRick Macklem	be done with the nfscbd(8) daemon running, to avoid
72d647d0d4SRick Macklem	needing a working back channel for server->client RPCs.
7368b7d9b5SRick Macklem
742b98ea2eSRick Macklem20210330:
752b98ea2eSRick Macklem	Commit 01ae8969a9ee fixed the NFSv4.1/4.2 server so that it
762b98ea2eSRick Macklem	handles binding of the back channel as required by RFC5661.
772b98ea2eSRick Macklem	Until this patch is in your server, avoid use of the "nconnects"
782b98ea2eSRick Macklem	mount option for Linux NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
792b98ea2eSRick Macklem
80ba7ede0bSEd Maste20210225:
81ba7ede0bSEd Maste	For 64-bit architectures the base system is now built with Position
82ba7ede0bSEd Maste	Independent Executable (PIE) support enabled by default.  It may be
83ba7ede0bSEd Maste	disabled using the WITHOUT_PIE knob.  A clean build is required.
84ba7ede0bSEd Maste
85d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb20210128:
86d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb	Various LinuxKPI functionality was added which conflicts with DRM.
87d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb	Please update your drm-kmod port to after the __FreeBSD_verison 1400003
88d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb	update.
89d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb
90429c7d1aSWarner Losh20210108:
91429c7d1aSWarner Losh	PC Card attachments for all devices have been removed. In the case of
92429c7d1aSWarner Losh	wi and cmx, the entire drivers were removed because they were only
93429c7d1aSWarner Losh	PC Card devices. FreeBSD_version 1300134 should be used for this
94429c7d1aSWarner Losh	since it was bumped so recently.
95429c7d1aSWarner Losh
9681098ca8SVladimir Kondratyev20210107:
97a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	Transport-independent parts of HID support have been split off the USB
98a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	code in to separate subsystem.  Kernel configs which include one of
99a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	ums, ukbd, uhid, atp, wsp, wmt, uaudio, ugold or ucycom drivers should
100a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	be updated with adding of "device hid" line.
101a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev
102009c1100SBaptiste Daroussin20210105:
103bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin	ncurses installation has been modified to only keep the widechar
104bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin	enabled version.  Incremental build is broken for that change, so it
105bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin	requires a clean build.
106bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin
107878d5341SWarner Losh20201223:
108878d5341SWarner Losh	The FreeBSD project has migrated from Subversion to Git. Temporary
109878d5341SWarner Losh	instructions can be found at
110878d5341SWarner Losh	https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/src-cvt.md
111878d5341SWarner Losh	and other documents in that repo.
112878d5341SWarner Losh
113228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni20201216:
114228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	The services database has been updated to cover more of the basic
115228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	services expected in a modern system. The database is big enough
116228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	that it will cause issues in mergemaster in Releases previous to
117228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	12.2 and 11.3, or in very old current systems from before r358154.
118228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni
1191c0ea326SEd Maste20201215:
1201c0ea326SEd Maste	Obsolete in-tree GDB 6.1.1 has been removed.  GDB (including kgdb)
1211c0ea326SEd Maste	may be installed from ports or packages.
1221c0ea326SEd Maste
1233cde9171SAlan Somers20201124:
1243cde9171SAlan Somers	ping6 has been merged into ping.  It can now be called as "ping -6".
1253cde9171SAlan Somers	See ping(8) for details.
1263cde9171SAlan Somers
1272d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov20201108:
1282d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov	Default value of net.add_addr_allfibs has been changed to 0.
1292d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov	If you have multi-fib configuration and rely on existence of all
1302d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov	interface routes in every fib, you need to set the above sysctl to 1.
131993d2d4bSJens Schweikhardt
132a97cfe08SStefan Eßer20201030:
1337afa1a75SStefan Eßer	The internal pre-processor in the calendar(1) program has been
1347afa1a75SStefan Eßer	extended to support more C pre-processor commands (e.g. #ifdef, #else,
1357afa1a75SStefan Eßer	and #undef) and to detect unbalanced conditional statements.
1367afa1a75SStefan Eßer	Error messages have been extended to include the filename and line
1377afa1a75SStefan Eßer	number if processing stops to help fixing malformed data files.
1387afa1a75SStefan Eßer
139a97cfe08SStefan Eßer20201026:
140d20d6550SWarner Losh	All the data files for the calendar(1) program, except calendar.freebsd,
141d20d6550SWarner Losh	have been moved to the deskutils/calendar-data port, much like the
142d20d6550SWarner Losh	jewish calendar entries were moved to deskutils/hebcal years ago. After
143d20d6550SWarner Losh	make delete-old-files, you need to install it to retain full
144d20d6550SWarner Losh	functionality. calendar(1) will issue a reminder for files it can't
145d20d6550SWarner Losh	find.
146d20d6550SWarner Losh
1477e46dafaSWarner Losh20200923:
1487e46dafaSWarner Losh	LINT files are no longer generated. We now include the relevant NOTES
1497e46dafaSWarner Losh	files. Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases.
1500d948bffSLi-Wen Hsu	        find sys -name LINT\* -delete
1517e46dafaSWarner Losh	is suggested across this commit	to remove the generated	LINT files.
1527e46dafaSWarner Losh
1537e46dafaSWarner Losh	If you have tried to update with generated files there, the svn
1547e46dafaSWarner Losh	command you want to un-auger the tree is
1557e46dafaSWarner Losh		cd sys/amd64/conf
1567e46dafaSWarner Losh		svn revert -R .
1577e46dafaSWarner Losh	and then do the above find from the top level. Substitute 'amd64'
1587e46dafaSWarner Losh	above with where the error message indicates a conflict.
1597e46dafaSWarner Losh
1603c41ca88SWarner Losh20200824:
1615db7b015SMatt Macy	OpenZFS support has been integrated. Do not upgrade root pools until
1625db7b015SMatt Macy	the loader is updated to support zstd. Furthermore, we caution against
1635db7b015SMatt Macy	'zpool upgrade' for the next few weeks. The change should be transparent
1645db7b015SMatt Macy	unless you  want to use new features.
16513e4dbd2SMatt Macy
166d0fba0c5SWarner Losh	Not all "NO_CLEAN" build scenarios work across these changes. Many
167d0fba0c5SWarner Losh	scenarios have been tested and fixed, but rebuilding kernels without
168d0fba0c5SWarner Losh	rebuilding world may fail.
169d0fba0c5SWarner Losh
170f03478b1SWarner Losh	The ZFS cache file has moved from /boot to /etc to match the OpenZFS
171de209fe1SRyan Moeller	upstream default. A fallback to /boot has been added for mountroot.
172de209fe1SRyan Moeller
173de209fe1SRyan Moeller	Pool auto import behavior at boot has been moved from the kernel module
174de209fe1SRyan Moeller	to an explicit "zpool import -a" in one of the rc scripts enabled by
175de209fe1SRyan Moeller	zfs_enable=YES. This means your non-root zpools won't auto import until
176de209fe1SRyan Moeller	you upgrade your /etc/rc.d files.
177f03478b1SWarner Losh
178ea007feeSWarner Losh20200824:
1793c41ca88SWarner Losh	The resume code now notifies devd with the 'kernel' system
1803c41ca88SWarner Losh	rather than the old 'kern' subsystem to be consistent with
1813c41ca88SWarner Losh	other use. The old notification will be created as well, but
1823c41ca88SWarner Losh	will be removed prior to FreeBSD 14.0.
1833c41ca88SWarner Losh
18471bba112SRick Macklem20200821:
18571bba112SRick Macklem	r362275 changed the internal API between the kernel RPC and the
18671bba112SRick Macklem	NFS modules. As such, all the modules must be recompiled from
18771bba112SRick Macklem	sources.
18871bba112SRick Macklem
189a371e791SRick Macklem20200817:
190a371e791SRick Macklem	r364330 modified the internal API used between the NFS modules.
191a371e791SRick Macklem	As such, all the NFS modules must be re-compiled from sources.
192a371e791SRick Macklem
193e61154c4SDimitry Andric20200816:
194b0e89accSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
195b0e89accSDimitry Andric	been upgraded to 11.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
196b0e89accSDimitry Andric	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
197b0e89accSDimitry Andric	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
198b0e89accSDimitry Andric
1996d56f524SRick Macklem20200810:
2006d56f524SRick Macklem	r364092 modified the internal ABI used between the kernel NFS
2016d56f524SRick Macklem	modules.  As such, all of these modules need to be rebuilt
2026d56f524SRick Macklem	from sources, so a version bump was done.
2036d56f524SRick Macklem
20433176cdcSWarner Losh20200807:
20533176cdcSWarner Losh	Makefile.inc has been updated to work around the issue documented in
20633176cdcSWarner Losh	20200729. It was a case where the optimization of using symbolic links
20733176cdcSWarner Losh	to point to binaries created a situation where we'd run new binaries
20833176cdcSWarner Losh	with old libraries starting midway through the installworld process.
20933176cdcSWarner Losh
210d2090a40SKyle Evans20200729:
211d2090a40SKyle Evans	r363679 has redefined some undefined behavior in regcomp(3); notably,
212d2090a40SKyle Evans	extraneous escapes of most ordinary characters will no longer be
213d2090a40SKyle Evans	accepted.  An exp-run has identified all of the problems with this in
214d2090a40SKyle Evans	ports, but other non-ports software may need extra escapes removed to
215d2090a40SKyle Evans	continue to function.
216d2090a40SKyle Evans
217d6391a26SKyle Evans	Because of this change, installworld may encounter the following error
218d6391a26SKyle Evans	from rtld: Undefined symbol "regcomp@FBSD_1.6" -- It is imperative that
219d6391a26SKyle Evans	you do not halt installworld. Instead, let it run to completion (whether
220d6391a26SKyle Evans	successful or not) and run installworld once more.
221d6391a26SKyle Evans
222c2caa342SStefan Eßer20200627:
223dee0d87cSWarner Losh	A new implementation of bc and dc has been imported in r362681. This
224c2caa342SStefan Eßer	implementation corrects non-conformant behavior of the previous bc
225c2caa342SStefan Eßer	and adds GNU bc compatible options. It offers a number of extensions,
226c2caa342SStefan Eßer	is much faster on large values, and has support for message catalogs
227c2caa342SStefan Eßer	(a number of languages are already supported, contributions of further
228c2caa342SStefan Eßer	languages welcome). The option WITHOUT_GH_BC can be used to build the
229c2caa342SStefan Eßer	world with the previous versions of bc and dc.
230c2caa342SStefan Eßer
231a9813b6bSRick Macklem20200625:
232a9813b6bSRick Macklem	r362639 changed the internal API used between the NFS kernel modules.
233a9813b6bSRick Macklem	As such, they all need to be rebuilt from sources.
234a9813b6bSRick Macklem
235be8f8ca2SRick Macklem20200613:
236be8f8ca2SRick Macklem	r362158 changed the arguments for VFS_CHECKEXP().  As such, any
237be8f8ca2SRick Macklem	out of tree file systems need to be modified and rebuilt.
238be8f8ca2SRick Macklem	Also, any file systems that are modules must be rebuilt.
239be8f8ca2SRick Macklem
2409b16365fSKyle Evans20200604:
2419b16365fSKyle Evans	read(2) of a directory fd is now rejected by default.  root may
2429b16365fSKyle Evans	re-enable it for system root only on non-ZFS filesystems with the
2439b16365fSKyle Evans	security.bsd.allow_read_dir sysctl(8) MIB if
2449b16365fSKyle Evans	security.bsd.suser_enabled=1.
2459b16365fSKyle Evans
2469b16365fSKyle Evans	It may be advised to setup aliases for grep to default to `-d skip` if
2479b16365fSKyle Evans	commonly non-recursively grepping a list that includes directories and
2489b16365fSKyle Evans	the potential for the resulting stderr output is not tolerable.  Example
2499b16365fSKyle Evans	aliases are now installed, commented out, in /root/.cshrc and

2580d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen20200512:
2590d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen	Support for obsolete compilers has been removed from the build system.
2600d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen	Clang 6 and GCC 6.4 are the minimum supported versions.
2610d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen
262277cd398SKyle Evans20200424:
263679c46f0SKyle Evans	closefrom(2) has been moved under COMPAT12, and replaced in libc with a
264679c46f0SKyle Evans	stub that calls close_range(2).  If using a custom kernel configuration,
265679c46f0SKyle Evans	you may want to ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD12 option is included, as
266679c46f0SKyle Evans	a slightly older -CURRENT userland and older FreeBSD userlands may not
267679c46f0SKyle Evans	be functional without closefrom(2).

269d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot20200414:
270d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	Upstream DTS from Linux 5.6 was merged and they now have the SID
271d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	and THS (Secure ID controller and THermal Sensor) node present.
272d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	The DTB overlays have now been removed from the tree for the H3/H5 and
273d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	A64 SoCs and the aw_sid and aw_thermal driver have been updated to
274d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	deal with upstream DTS. If you are using those overlays you need to
275d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	remove them from loader.conf and update the DTBs on the FAT partition.

29157f80467SEd Maste20200229:
292134b3783SEd Maste	The WITH_GPL_DTC option has been removed.  The BSD-licenced device tree
293134b3783SEd Maste	compiler in usr.bin/dtc is used on all architectures which use dtc, and
294134b3783SEd Maste	the GPL dtc is available (if needed) from the sysutils/dtc port.
295134b3783SEd Maste
29657f80467SEd Maste20200229:
297c4501804SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_LLVM_LIBUNWIND option has been removed.  LLVM's libunwind
298c4501804SEd Maste	is used by all supported CPU architectures.
299c4501804SEd Maste
300c4501804SEd Maste20200229:
30157f80467SEd Maste	GCC 4.2.1 has been removed from the tree.  The WITH_GCC,
30257f80467SEd Maste	WITH_GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and WITH_GNUCXX options are no longer available.
30357f80467SEd Maste	Users who wish to build FreeBSD with GCC must use the external toolchain

306eeb3204fSBaptiste Daroussin20200220:
307f57ea22cSBaptiste Daroussin	ncurses has been updated to a newer version (6.2-20200215). Given the ABI
308eeb3204fSBaptiste Daroussin	has changed, users will have to rebuild all the ports that are linked to
309eeb3204fSBaptiste Daroussin	ncurses.

31110108cb6SBjoern A. Zeeb20200217:
31210108cb6SBjoern A. Zeeb	The size of struct vnet and the magic cookie have changed.
31310108cb6SBjoern A. Zeeb	Users need to recompile libkvm and all modules using VIMAGE
31410108cb6SBjoern A. Zeeb	together with their new kernel.
31510108cb6SBjoern A. Zeeb
316d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis20200212:
317d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	Defining the long deprecated NO_CTF, NO_DEBUG_FILES, NO_INSTALLLIB,
318d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	NO_MAN, NO_PROFILE, and NO_WARNS variables is now an error.  Update
319d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	your Makefiles and scripts to define MK_<var>=no instead as required.
320d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis
321d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	One exception to this is that program or library Makefiles should
322d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	define MAN to empty rather than setting MK_MAN=no.
323d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis
324778b6225SJohn Baldwin20200108:
325778b6225SJohn Baldwin	Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler and LLD the default

332778b6225SJohn Baldwin
3335a0a8597SEd Maste20200104:
3345a0a8597SEd Maste	GCC 4.2.1 is now not built by default, as part of the GCC 4.2.1
3355a0a8597SEd Maste	retirement plan.  Specifically, the GCC, GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and GNUCXX
3365a0a8597SEd Maste	options default to off for all supported CPU architectures.  As a
3375a0a8597SEd Maste	short-term transition aid they may be enabled via WITH_* options.
3385a0a8597SEd Maste	GCC 4.2.1 is expected to be removed from the tree on 2020-03-31.
3395a0a8597SEd Maste
340eb4977bdSWarner Losh20200102:
341eb4977bdSWarner Losh	Support for armv5 has been disconnected and is being removed. The
342eb4977bdSWarner Losh	machine combination MACHINE=arm MACHINE_ARCH=arm is no longer valid.
343eb4977bdSWarner Losh	You must now use a MACHINE_ARCH of armv6 or armv7. The default
344eb4977bdSWarner Losh	MACHINE_ARCH for MACHINE=arm is now armv7.
345eb4977bdSWarner Losh
3463ee1d5bbSConrad Meyer20191226:
347bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits	Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler for all powerpc architectures.
348bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits	LLD is now the default linker for powerpc64.  The change for powerpc64
349bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits	also includes a change to the ELFv2 ABI, incompatible with the existing
350bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits	ABI.
351bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits
352bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits20191226:

361a51b1f3fSRick Macklem20191212:
362a51b1f3fSRick Macklem	r355677 has modified the internal interface used between the
363a51b1f3fSRick Macklem	NFS modules in the kernel. As such, they must all be upgraded
364a51b1f3fSRick Macklem	simultaneously. I will do a version bump for this.
365a51b1f3fSRick Macklem
3666d69608cSKyle Evans20191205:
3676d69608cSKyle Evans	The root certificates of the Mozilla CA Certificate Store have been
3686d69608cSKyle Evans	imported into the base system and can be managed with the certctl(8)
3696d69608cSKyle Evans	utility.  If you have installed the security/ca_root_nss port or package
3706d69608cSKyle Evans	with the ETCSYMLINK option (the default), be advised that there may be
3716d69608cSKyle Evans	differences between those included in the port and those included in
3726d69608cSKyle Evans	base due to differences in nss branch used as well as general update
3736d69608cSKyle Evans	frequency.  Note also that certctl(8) cannot manage certs in the
3746d69608cSKyle Evans	format used by the security/ca_root_nss port.
3756d69608cSKyle Evans
3765882cf71SEd Maste20191120:
3775882cf71SEd Maste	The amd(8) automount daemon has been disabled by default, and will be
3785882cf71SEd Maste	removed in the future.  As of FreeBSD 10.1 the autofs(5) is available
3795882cf71SEd Maste	for automounting.
3805882cf71SEd Maste
3816b33973bSAndriy Gapon20191107:
3826b33973bSAndriy Gapon	The nctgpio and wbwd drivers have been moved to the superio bus.
3836b33973bSAndriy Gapon	If you have one of these drivers in a kernel configuration, then
3846b33973bSAndriy Gapon	you should add device superio to it.  If you use one of these drivers
3856b33973bSAndriy Gapon	as a module and you compile a custom set of modules, then you should
3866b33973bSAndriy Gapon	add superio to the set.
3876b33973bSAndriy Gapon
3883d501333SKyle Evans20191021:
38919e09f44SGleb Smirnoff	KPIs for network drivers to access interface addresses have changed.
39019e09f44SGleb Smirnoff	Users need to recompile NIC driver modules together with kernel.
39119e09f44SGleb Smirnoff
39219e09f44SGleb Smirnoff20191021:
3933d501333SKyle Evans	The net.link.tap.user_open sysctl no longer prevents user opening of
3943d501333SKyle Evans	already created /dev/tapNN devices.  Access is still controlled by
3953d501333SKyle Evans	node permissions, just like tun devices.  The net.link.tap.user_open
3963d501333SKyle Evans	sysctl is now used only to allow users to perform devfs cloning of
3973d501333SKyle Evans	tap devices, and the subsequent open may not succeed if the user is not
3983d501333SKyle Evans	in the appropriate group.  This sysctl may be deprecated/removed
3993d501333SKyle Evans	completely in the future.
4003d501333SKyle Evans
40138c0ca14SDimitry Andric20191009:
40255b92c5fSWarner Losh	mips, powerpc, and sparc64 are no longer built as part of
40355b92c5fSWarner Losh	universe / tinderbox unless MAKE_OBSOLETE_GCC is defined. If
40455b92c5fSWarner Losh	not defined, mips, powerpc, and sparc64 builds will look for
40555b92c5fSWarner Losh	the xtoolchain binaries and if installed use them for universe
40655b92c5fSWarner Losh	builds. As llvm 9.0 becomes vetted for these architectures, they
40755b92c5fSWarner Losh	will be removed from the list.
40855b92c5fSWarner Losh
40955b92c5fSWarner Losh20191009:
410063e3a6dSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
411063e3a6dSDimitry Andric	been upgraded to 9.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for

4159923b641SEd Maste20191003:
4169923b641SEd Maste	The hpt27xx, hptmv, hptnr, and hptrr drivers have been removed from
4179923b641SEd Maste	GENERIC.  They are available as modules and can be loaded by adding
4189923b641SEd Maste	to /boot/loader.conf hpt27xx_load="YES", hptmv_load="YES",
4199923b641SEd Maste	hptnr_load="YES", or hptrr_load="YES", respectively.
4209923b641SEd Maste
421854cab51SCy Schubert20190913:
422854cab51SCy Schubert	ntpd no longer by default locks its pages in memory, allowing them
423854cab51SCy Schubert	to be paged out by the kernel. Use rlimit memlock to restore
424854cab51SCy Schubert	historic BSD behaviour. For example, add "rlimit memlock 32"
425854cab51SCy Schubert	to ntp.conf to lock up to 32 MB of ntpd address space in memory.
426854cab51SCy Schubert
427208ae7b7SAlan Somers20190823:
428208ae7b7SAlan Somers	Several of ping6's options have been renamed for better consistency
429208ae7b7SAlan Somers	with ping.  If you use any of -ARWXaghmrtwx, you must update your
430208ae7b7SAlan Somers	scripts.  See ping6(8) for details.
431208ae7b7SAlan Somers
432a63915c2SAlan Somers20190727:
433bad4c94dSAlan Somers	The vfs.fusefs.sync_unmount and vfs.fusefs.init_backgrounded sysctls
434bad4c94dSAlan Somers	and the "-o sync_unmount" and "-o init_backgrounded" mount options have
435bad4c94dSAlan Somers	been removed from mount_fusefs(8).  You can safely remove them from
436bad4c94dSAlan Somers	your scripts, because they had no effect.
437bad4c94dSAlan Somers
438fcefa6efSAlan Somers	The vfs.fusefs.fix_broken_io, vfs.fusefs.sync_resize,
439435ecf40SAlan Somers	vfs.fusefs.refresh_size, vfs.fusefs.mmap_enable,
440435ecf40SAlan Somers	vfs.fusefs.reclaim_revoked, and vfs.fusefs.data_cache_invalidate
441435ecf40SAlan Somers	sysctls have been removed.  If you felt the need to set any of them to
442435ecf40SAlan Somers	a non-default value, please tell asomers@FreeBSD.org why.
4434abf8766SAlan Somers
444fbcfc75aSIan Lepore20190713:
445a97202f1SIan Lepore	Default permissions on the /var/account/acct file (and copies of it
446a97202f1SIan Lepore	rotated by periodic daily scripts) are changed from 0644 to 0640
447a97202f1SIan Lepore	because the file contains sensitive information that should not be
448a97202f1SIan Lepore	world-readable.  If the /var/account directory must be created by
449a97202f1SIan Lepore	rc.d/accounting, the mode used is now 0750.  Admins who use the
450a97202f1SIan Lepore	accounting feature are encouraged to change the mode of an existing
451a97202f1SIan Lepore	/var/account directory to 0750 or 0700.
452fbcfc75aSIan Lepore
453c363b16cSConrad Meyer20190620:
45458b5b90dSConrad Meyer	Entropy collection and the /dev/random device are no longer optional
45558b5b90dSConrad Meyer	components.  The "device random" option has been removed.
456c363b16cSConrad Meyer	Implementations of distilling algorithms can still be made loadable
457c363b16cSConrad Meyer	with "options RANDOM_LOADABLE" (e.g., random_fortuna.ko).

4654c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb20190608:
4664c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb	A fix was applied to i386 kernel modules to avoid panics with
4674c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb	dpcpu or vnet.  Users need to recompile i386 kernel modules
4684c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb	having pcpu or vnet sections or they will refuse to load.
4694c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb
470aa0a8933SMark Johnston20190513:
471aa0a8933SMark Johnston	User-wired pages now have their own counter,
472aa0a8933SMark Johnston	vm.stats.vm.v_user_wire_count.  The vm.max_wired sysctl was renamed
473aa0a8933SMark Johnston	to vm.max_user_wired and changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned
474aa0a8933SMark Johnston	long.  bhyve VMs wired with the -S are now subject to the user
475aa0a8933SMark Johnston	wiring limit; the vm.max_user_wired sysctl may need to be tuned to
476aa0a8933SMark Johnston	avoid running into the limit.
477aa0a8933SMark Johnston
478251a32b5SKyle Evans20190507:
479542970faSAndrew Gallatin	The IPSEC option has been removed from GENERIC.  Users requiring
480542970faSAndrew Gallatin	ipsec(4) must now load the ipsec(4) kernel module.
481542970faSAndrew Gallatin
482542970faSAndrew Gallatin20190507:
483251a32b5SKyle Evans	The tap(4) driver has been folded into tun(4), and the module has been
48415e9beb7SKyle Evans	renamed to tuntap.  You should update any kld_list="if_tap" or
48515e9beb7SKyle Evans	kld_list="if_tun" entries in /etc/rc.conf, if_tap_load="YES" or
486251a32b5SKyle Evans	if_tun_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf to load the if_tuntap
487251a32b5SKyle Evans	module instead, and "device tap" or "device tun" entries in kernel
488251a32b5SKyle Evans	config files to select the tuntap device instead.
489251a32b5SKyle Evans
4903782136fSConrad Meyer20190418:
4913782136fSConrad Meyer	The following knobs have been added related to tradeoffs between
4923782136fSConrad Meyer	safe use of the random device and availability in the absence of
4933782136fSConrad Meyer	entropy:
4943782136fSConrad Meyer
4953782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.bypass_before_seeding: tunable; set
4963782136fSConrad Meyer	non-zero to bypass the random device prior to seeding, or zero to
4973782136fSConrad Meyer	block random requests until the random device is initially seeded.
4983782136fSConrad Meyer	For now, set to 1 (unsafe) by default to restore pre-r346250 boot
4993782136fSConrad Meyer	availability properties.
5003782136fSConrad Meyer
5013782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.read_random_bypassed_before_seeding:
5023782136fSConrad Meyer	read-only diagnostic sysctl that is set when bypass is enabled and
5033782136fSConrad Meyer	read_random(9) is bypassed, to enable programmatic handling of this
5043782136fSConrad Meyer	initial condition, if desired.
5053782136fSConrad Meyer
5063782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.arc4random_bypassed_before_seeding:
5073782136fSConrad Meyer	Similar to the above, but for for arc4random(9) initial seeding.
5083782136fSConrad Meyer
5093782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.disable_bypass_warnings: tunable; set
5103782136fSConrad Meyer	non-zero to disable warnings in dmesg when the same conditions are
5113782136fSConrad Meyer	met as for the diagnostic sysctls above.  Defaults to zero, i.e.,

5133782136fSConrad Meyer
514f3d2512dSConrad Meyer20190416:
515f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	The loadable random module KPI has changed; the random_infra_init()
516f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	routine now requires a 3rd function pointer for a bool (*)(void)
517f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	method that returns true if the random device is seeded (and
518f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	therefore unblocked).

520bcf55f64SRick Macklem20190404:
521bcf55f64SRick Macklem	r345895 reverts r320698. This implies that an nfsuserd(8) daemon
522bcf55f64SRick Macklem	built from head sources between r320757 (July 6, 2017) and
523bcf55f64SRick Macklem	r338192 (Aug. 22, 2018) will not work unless the "-use-udpsock"
524bcf55f64SRick Macklem	is added to the command line.
525bcf55f64SRick Macklem	nfsuserd daemons built from head sources that are post-r338192 are
526bcf55f64SRick Macklem	not affected and should continue to work.
527bcf55f64SRick Macklem
528123af6ecSAlan Somers20190320:
529123af6ecSAlan Somers	The fuse(4) module has been renamed to fusefs(4) for consistency with
530123af6ecSAlan Somers	other filesystems.  You should update any kld_load="fuse" entries in
531123af6ecSAlan Somers	/etc/rc.conf, fuse_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf, and
53282455a33SJens Schweikhardt	"options FUSE" entries in kernel config files.

551c75f49f7SKonstantin Belousov	Iflib is no longer unconditionally compiled into the kernel.  Drivers
552c75f49f7SKonstantin Belousov	using iflib and statically compiled into the kernel, now require
553c75f49f7SKonstantin Belousov	the 'device iflib' config option.  For the same drivers loaded as
554c75f49f7SKonstantin Belousov	modules on kernels not having 'device iflib', the iflib.ko module
555c75f49f7SKonstantin Belousov	is loaded automatically.

5585864456dSAndriy Voskoboinyk	The IEEE80211_AMPDU_AGE and AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 kernel configuration
5595864456dSAndriy Voskoboinyk	options no longer exist since r343219 and r343427 respectively;
5605864456dSAndriy Voskoboinyk	nothing uses them, so they should be just removed from custom
5615864456dSAndriy Voskoboinyk	kernel config files.

56383a41dd0SRebecca Cran20181230:
56483a41dd0SRebecca Cran	r342635 changes the way efibootmgr(8) works by requiring users to add
56583a41dd0SRebecca Cran	the -b (bootnum) parameter for commands where the bootnum was previously
56683a41dd0SRebecca Cran	specified with each option. For example 'efibootmgr -B 0001' is now
56783a41dd0SRebecca Cran	'efibootmgr -B -b 0001'.

569d493fe42SRick Macklem20181220:
570d493fe42SRick Macklem	r342286 modifies the NFSv4 server so that it obeys vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport
571d493fe42SRick Macklem	in the same as it is applied to NFSv2 and 3.  This implies that NFSv4
572d493fe42SRick Macklem	servers that have vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport set will only allow mounts
573d493fe42SRick Macklem	from clients using a reserved port#. Since both the FreeBSD and Linux
574d493fe42SRick Macklem	NFSv4 clients use reserved port#s by default, this should not affect
575d493fe42SRick Macklem	most NFSv4 mounts.

577beab3c4bSWarner Losh20181219:
57831733a7dSWarner Losh	The XLP config has been removed. We can't support 64-bit atomics in this
57931733a7dSWarner Losh	kernel because it is running in 32-bit mode. XLP users must transition
58031733a7dSWarner Losh	to running a 64-bit kernel (XLP64 or XLPN32).
58131733a7dSWarner Losh
58231733a7dSWarner Losh	The mips GXEMUL support has been removed from FreeBSD. MALTA* + qemu is
58331733a7dSWarner Losh	the preferred emulator today and we don't need two different ones.
58431733a7dSWarner Losh
5850bb183edSWarner Losh	The old sibyte / swarm / Broadcom BCM1250 support has been
5860bb183edSWarner Losh	removed from the mips port.

59453fc043dSGeorge V. Neville-Neil20181211:
59553fc043dSGeorge V. Neville-Neil	Remove the timed and netdate programs from the base tree.  Setting
59682455a33SJens Schweikhardt	the time with these daemons has been obsolete for over a decade.
59753fc043dSGeorge V. Neville-Neil
598df27a97eSEd Maste20181126:
599df27a97eSEd Maste	On amd64, arm64 and armv7 (architectures that install LLVM's ld.lld
600df27a97eSEd Maste	linker as /usr/bin/ld) GNU ld is no longer installed as ld.bfd, as
601df27a97eSEd Maste	it produces broken binaries when ifuncs are in use.  Users needing
602df27a97eSEd Maste	GNU ld should install the binutils port or package.

60430c5db2bSAndrew Turner20181123:
60530c5db2bSAndrew Turner	The BSD crtbegin and crtend code has been enabled by default. It has
60630c5db2bSAndrew Turner	had extensive testing on amd64, arm64, and i386. It can be disabled
60730c5db2bSAndrew Turner	by building a world with -DWITHOUT_BSD_CRTBEGIN.
60830c5db2bSAndrew Turner
60918946268SStefan Eßer20181115:
61018946268SStefan Eßer	The set of CTM commands (ctm, ctm_smail, ctm_rmail, ctm_dequeue)
61118946268SStefan Eßer	has been converted to a port (misc/ctm) and will be removed from
61218946268SStefan Eßer	FreeBSD-13.  It is available as a package (ctm) for all supported
61318946268SStefan Eßer	FreeBSD versions.
61418946268SStefan Eßer
6159c66c1dfSBen Woods20181110:
6169c66c1dfSBen Woods	The default newsyslog.conf(5) file has been changed to only include
6179c66c1dfSBen Woods	files in /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ and /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ if
6189c66c1dfSBen Woods	the filenames end in '.conf' and do not begin with a '.'.
6199c66c1dfSBen Woods
6209c66c1dfSBen Woods	You should check the configuration files in these two directories match
6219c66c1dfSBen Woods	this naming convention. You can verify which configuration files are
6229c66c1dfSBen Woods	being included using the command:
6239c66c1dfSBen Woods		$ newsyslog -Nrv

625468002c5SWarner Losh20181015:
626468002c5SWarner Losh	Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. Now, amd64 users should
627468002c5SWarner Losh	just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install
628468002c5SWarner Losh	drm-legacy-kmod.
629468002c5SWarner Losh
630468002c5SWarner Losh	Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with
631468002c5SWarner Losh	drm-kmod.  For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need
632468002c5SWarner Losh	to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older
633468002c5SWarner Losh	than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can
634468002c5SWarner Losh	only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the
635468002c5SWarner Losh	market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you
636468002c5SWarner Losh	have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use
637468002c5SWarner Losh	that as you will get better support.
638468002c5SWarner Losh
639468002c5SWarner Losh	Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined
640468002c5SWarner Losh	elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base
641274cfcd7SWarner Losh	soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package
642274cfcd7SWarner Losh	asap and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org.
643468002c5SWarner Losh
644468002c5SWarner Losh	Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add
645468002c5SWarner Losh	WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty
646468002c5SWarner Losh	cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver
647468002c5SWarner Losh	loading from X11 startup. These will become the defaults in 13-current
648468002c5SWarner Losh	shortly.
649468002c5SWarner Losh
650b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl20181012:
651b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl	The ixlv(4) driver has been renamed to iavf(4).  As a consequence,
652b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl	custom kernel and module loading configuration files must be updated
653b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl	accordingly.  Moreover, interfaces previous presented as ixlvN to the
654b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl	system are now exposed as iavfN and network configuration files must
655b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl	be adjusted as necessary.
656b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl
6571da7787fSGlen Barber20181009:
6581da7787fSGlen Barber	OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1.  This update included
65982455a33SJens Schweikhardt	additional various API changes throughout the base system.  It is
6601da7787fSGlen Barber	important to rebuild third-party software after upgrading.  The value
6611da7787fSGlen Barber	of __FreeBSD_version has been bumped accordingly.
6621da7787fSGlen Barber
663532dc172SKyle Evans20181006:
664532dc172SKyle Evans	The legacy DRM modules and drivers have now been added to the loader's
665532dc172SKyle Evans	module blacklist, in favor of loading them with kld_list in rc.conf(5).
666532dc172SKyle Evans	The module blacklist may be overridden with the loader.conf(5)
667532dc172SKyle Evans	'module_blacklist' variable, but loading them via rc.conf(5) is strongly
668532dc172SKyle Evans	encouraged.
669532dc172SKyle Evans
6708ac2f3baSKevin Bowling20181002:
6718ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	The cam(4) based nda(4) driver will be used over nvd(4) by default on
6728ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	powerpc64. You may set 'options NVME_USE_NVD=1' in your kernel conf or
6738ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	loader tunable 'hw.nvme.use_nvd=1' if you wish to use the existing
6748ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	driver.  Make sure to edit /boot/etc/kboot.conf and fstab to use the
6758ac2f3baSKevin Bowling	nda device name.
6768ac2f3baSKevin Bowling
6778d66f7beSEd Maste20180913:
6788d66f7beSEd Maste	Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for
6798d66f7beSEd Maste	FreeBSD 12.0.  This eliminates build metadata such as the user,
6808d66f7beSEd Maste	host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree
6818d66f7beSEd Maste	corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system.
6828d66f7beSEd Maste	The previous behavior can be obtained by setting the /etc/src.conf
6838d66f7beSEd Maste	knob WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD.
6848d66f7beSEd Maste
68519fa89e9SMark Murray20180826:
68619fa89e9SMark Murray	The Yarrow CSPRNG has been removed from the kernel as it has not been
68719fa89e9SMark Murray	supported by its designers since at least 2003. Fortuna has been the
68819fa89e9SMark Murray	default since FreeBSD-11.
68919fa89e9SMark Murray
6900fb707ecSWarner Losh20180822:
6910fb707ecSWarner Losh	devctl freeze/thaw have gone into the tree, the rc scripts have been
69284b9dfe4SWarner Losh	updated to use them and devmatch has been changed.  You should update
69384b9dfe4SWarner Losh	kernel, userland and rc scripts all at the same time.
69484b9dfe4SWarner Losh
695f9f8ac94SKyle Evans20180818:
696f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua.
697f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default
698f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	interpreter.  If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set
699f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in
700f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	src.conf for the build.  This will create default hard links between
701f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default.
702f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi.
703f9f8ac94SKyle Evans
704295506bfSWarner Losh	bhyve uses userboot.so. It remains 4th-only until some issues are solved
705295506bfSWarner Losh	regarding coexisting with multiple versions of FreeBSD are resolved.
706295506bfSWarner Losh
70772ad696aSKyle Evans20180815:
70872ad696aSKyle Evans	ls(1) now respects the COLORTERM environment variable used in other
70972ad696aSKyle Evans	systems and software to indicate that a colored terminal is both
71072ad696aSKyle Evans	supported and desired.  If ls(1) is suddenly emitting colors, they may
711e10ba800SKyle Evans	be disabled again by either removing the unwanted COLORTERM from your
712e10ba800SKyle Evans	environment, or using `ls --color=never`.  The ls(1) specific CLICOLOR
713e10ba800SKyle Evans	may not be observed in a future release.
71472ad696aSKyle Evans
71547cc9ee1SAlan Somers20180808:
71647cc9ee1SAlan Somers	The default pager for most commands has been changed to "less".  To
71747cc9ee1SAlan Somers	restore the old behavior, set PAGER="more" and MANPAGER="more -s" in
71847cc9ee1SAlan Somers	your environment.
71947cc9ee1SAlan Somers
720b5988450SRavi Pokala20180731:
721b5988450SRavi Pokala	The jedec_ts(4) driver has been removed. A superset of its functionality
722b5988450SRavi Pokala	is available in the jedec_dimm(4) driver, and the manpage for that
723b5988450SRavi Pokala	driver includes migration instructions. If you have "device jedec_ts"
724b5988450SRavi Pokala	in your kernel configuration file, it must be removed.
725b5988450SRavi Pokala
726164138e7SKyle Evans20180730:
727164138e7SKyle Evans	amd64/GENERIC now has EFI runtime services, EFIRT, enabled by default.
728dfa6eec2SKyle Evans	This should have no effect if the kernel is booted via BIOS/legacy boot.
7291ddc8a8eSKyle Evans	EFIRT may be disabled via a loader tunable, efi.rt.disabled, if a system
730164138e7SKyle Evans	has a buggy firmware that prevents a successful boot due to use of
731164138e7SKyle Evans	runtime services.
732164138e7SKyle Evans
733411e4219SWarner Losh20180727:
734411e4219SWarner Losh	Atmel AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9, Cavium CNS 11xx and XScale
735411e4219SWarner Losh	support has been removed from the tree. These ports were
736411e4219SWarner Losh	obsolete and/or known to be broken for many years.
737411e4219SWarner Losh
738b43c6042SWarner Losh20180723:
739b43c6042SWarner Losh	loader.efi has been augmented to participate more fully in the
740663472dfSWarner Losh	UEFI boot manager protocol. loader.efi will now look at the
741663472dfSWarner Losh	BootXXXX environment variable to determine if a specific kernel
742663472dfSWarner Losh	or root partition was specified. XXXX is derived from BootCurrent.
743663472dfSWarner Losh	efibootmgr(8) manages these standard UEFI variables.
744b43c6042SWarner Losh
745d397afa3SWarner Losh20180720:
746d397afa3SWarner Losh	zfsloader's functionality has now been folded into loader.
7475f9d7aafSEd Maste	zfsloader is no longer necessary once you've updated your
7483b741022SWarner Losh	boot blocks. For a transition period, we will install a
7493b741022SWarner Losh	hardlink for zfsloader to loader to allow a smooth transition
7503b741022SWarner Losh	until the boot blocks can be updated (hard link because old
7513b741022SWarner Losh	zfs boot blocks don't understand symlinks).
752d397afa3SWarner Losh
753d0e46652SIan Lepore20180719:
754c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	ARM64 now have efifb support, if you want to have serial console
755c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	on your arm64 board when an screen is connected and the bootloader
756deb17a3bSWarner Losh	setup a frame buffer for us to use, just add :
757c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	boot_serial=YES
758c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	boot_multicons=YES
759c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	in /boot/loader.conf
760c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	For Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI) users, this is needed even if you don't have
761c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	an screen connected as the firmware will setup a frame buffer are that
762c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot	u-boot will expose as an EFI frame buffer.

764c59a544eSEmmanuel Vadot20180719:
765d0e46652SIan Lepore	New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123).  Be sure to run mergemaster
766d0e46652SIan Lepore	or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on
7670d77d170SIan Lepore	existing systems.  Do not skip the "mergemaster -Fp" step before
7680d77d170SIan Lepore	installworld, as described in the update procedures near the bottom
7690d77d170SIan Lepore	of this document.  Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd
770d0e46652SIan Lepore	if the new mac_ntpd(4) policy is available, unless ntpd_flags or
771d0e46652SIan Lepore	the ntp config file contain options that change file/dir locations.
772d0e46652SIan Lepore	When such options (e.g., "statsdir" or "crypto") are used, ntpd can
773d0e46652SIan Lepore	still be run as non-root by setting ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf, after
774d0e46652SIan Lepore	taking steps to ensure that all required files/dirs are accessible
775d0e46652SIan Lepore	by the ntpd user.

78044314c35SKyle Evans20180711:
78144314c35SKyle Evans	The static environment setup in kernel configs is no longer mutually
78244314c35SKyle Evans	exclusive with the loader(8) environment by default.  In order to
78344314c35SKyle Evans	restore the previous default behavior of disabling the loader(8)
78444314c35SKyle Evans	environment if a static environment is present, you must specify
78544314c35SKyle Evans	loader_env.disabled=1 in the static environment.

787f38b68aeSBrooks Davis20180705:
788f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	The ABI of syscalls used by management tools like sockstat and
789f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	netstat has been broken to allow 32-bit binaries to work on
790f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	64-bit kernels without modification.  These programs will need
791f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	to match the kernel in order to function.  External programs may
792f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	require minor modifications to accommodate a change of type in
793f38b68aeSBrooks Davis	structures from pointers to 64-bit virtual addresses.

7990dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski20180701:
8000dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	The '%I' format in the kern.corefile sysctl limits the number of
8010dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	core files that a process can generate to the number stored in the
8020dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	debug.ncores sysctl. The '%I' format is replaced by the single digit
8030dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	index. Previously, if all indexes were taken the kernel would overwrite
8040dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	only a core file with the highest index in a filename.
8050dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free
8060dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	index or if all slots are taken it will overwrite the oldest one.

821fa986e33SRick Macklem	r334930 changed the interface between the NFS modules, so they all

8256f282e72SEd Maste	As of r334391 lld is the default amd64 system linker; it is installed
8266f282e72SEd Maste	as /usr/bin/ld.  Kernel build workarounds (see 20180510 entry) are no
8276f282e72SEd Maste	longer necessary.

8300bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	The kernel / userland interface for devinfo changed, so you'll
8310bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	need a new kernel and userland as a pair for it to work (rebuilding
8320bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	lib/libdevinfo is all that's required). devinfo and devmatch will
8330bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	not work, but everything else will when there's a mismatch.

8357e1a13f4SMatt Macy20180523:
8367e1a13f4SMatt Macy	The on-disk format for hwpmc callchain records has changed to include
8377e1a13f4SMatt Macy	threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets
8387e1a13f4SMatt Macy	and thus requires that libpmcstat be rebuilt before using a kernel
8397e1a13f4SMatt Macy	later than r334108.

8416f78fad3SSean Bruno20180517:
8426f78fad3SSean Bruno	The vxge(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was introduced into
8436f78fad3SSean Bruno	HEAD one week before the Exar left the Ethernet market and is not
8446f78fad3SSean Bruno	known to be used.  If you have device vxge in your kernel config file
8456f78fad3SSean Bruno	it must be removed.

8476e258ed3SWarner Losh20180510:
848eb8831b9SWarner Losh	The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a
849eb8831b9SWarner Losh	working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default
850eb8831b9SWarner Losh	on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However,
851eb8831b9SWarner Losh	it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional
852eb8831b9SWarner Losh	way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for
853eb8831b9SWarner Losh	binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement
854eb8831b9SWarner Losh	will go away.
855eb8831b9SWarner Losh
8566f282e72SEd Maste	NOTE: As of r334391 lld is the default system linker on amd64, and no
8576f282e72SEd Maste	workaround is necessary.

86182455a33SJens Schweikhardt	cards made by s2io/Neterion.  The company was acquired by Exar and
86257b49365SSean Bruno	no longer sells or supports Ethernet products.  If you have device

865ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps20180504:
866ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	The tz database (tzdb) has been updated to 2018e.  This version more
867ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	correctly models time stamps in time zones with negative DST such as
868ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and
869ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	Africa/Windhoek (1994/2017).  This does not affect the UT offsets, only

8722695c9c1SSean Bruno20180502:
8732695c9c1SSean Bruno	The ixgb(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was for an early and
8742695c9c1SSean Bruno	uncommon legacy PCI 10GbE for a single ASIC, Intel 82597EX. Intel
8752695c9c1SSean Bruno	quickly shifted to the long lived ixgbe family.  If you have device

878e6a376d1SEd Maste20180501:
879e6a376d1SEd Maste	The lmc(4) driver has been removed.  This was a WAN interface
880e6a376d1SEd Maste	card that was already reportedly rare in 2003, and had an ambiguous
881e6a376d1SEd Maste	license.  If you have device lmc in your kernel config file it must
882e6a376d1SEd Maste	be removed.

8948129693eSEd Schouten20180406:
8958129693eSEd Schouten	In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the
8968129693eSEd Schouten	syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted
8978129693eSEd Schouten	log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients
8988129693eSEd Schouten	may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers,
8998129693eSEd Schouten	microseconds and time zone offsets.
9008129693eSEd Schouten
9018129693eSEd Schouten	Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to
9028129693eSEd Schouten	send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging
9038129693eSEd Schouten	daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no
9048129693eSEd Schouten	negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are
9058129693eSEd Schouten	updated at the same time. On systems using a different system
9068129693eSEd Schouten	logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration
9078129693eSEd Schouten	adjustments, depending on the software used.
9088129693eSEd Schouten
9098129693eSEd Schouten	When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local
9108129693eSEd Schouten	input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages:
9118129693eSEd Schouten
9128129693eSEd Schouten		source src {
9138129693eSEd Schouten			unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol));
9148129693eSEd Schouten		}
9158129693eSEd Schouten
9168129693eSEd Schouten	When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option
9178129693eSEd Schouten	of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the
9188129693eSEd Schouten	regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline:
9198129693eSEd Schouten
9208129693eSEd Schouten		module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off")
9218129693eSEd Schouten
9228129693eSEd Schouten	Do note that these changes only affect communication between local
9238129693eSEd Schouten	applications and syslogd(8). The format that syslogd(8) uses to
9248129693eSEd Schouten	store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems
9258129693eSEd Schouten	remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these
9268129693eSEd Schouten	purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the
9278129693eSEd Schouten	future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are
9288129693eSEd Schouten	thus expected to continue to function as before.
9298129693eSEd Schouten
9308129693eSEd Schouten	__FreeBSD_version has been incremented to 1200061 to denote this
9318129693eSEd Schouten	change.
9328129693eSEd Schouten
933c53b0251SBrooks Davis20180328:
93469f0fecbSBrooks Davis	Support for token ring networks has been removed. If you
93569f0fecbSBrooks Davis	have "device token" in your kernel config you should remove
93669f0fecbSBrooks Davis	it. No device drivers supported token ring.
93769f0fecbSBrooks Davis
93872bf324cSBenno Rice20180323:
93972bf324cSBenno Rice	makefs was modified to be able to tag ISO9660 El Torito boot catalog
94072bf324cSBenno Rice	entries as EFI instead of overloading the i386 tag as done previously.
94172bf324cSBenno Rice	The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for
94272bf324cSBenno Rice	release was updated to use this. This may mean that makefs must be
94372bf324cSBenno Rice	updated before "make cdrom" can be run in the release directory. This
94472bf324cSBenno Rice	should be as simple as:
94572bf324cSBenno Rice
94672bf324cSBenno Rice		$ cd $SRCDIR/usr.sbin/makefs

1098992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	"make check" behavior (made in ^/head@r295380) has been changed to
1099992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	execute from a limited sandbox, as opposed to executing from
1100992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	${TESTSDIR}.
1101992f1a8eSEnji Cooper
1102992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	Behavioral changes:
1103992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	- The "beforecheck" and "aftercheck" targets are now specified.
1104992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	- ${CHECKDIR} (added in commit noted above) has been removed.
1105992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	- Legacy behavior can be enabled by setting
1106992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	  WITHOUT_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX in src.conf(5) or the environment.
1107992f1a8eSEnji Cooper
1108992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	If the limited sandbox mode is enabled, "make check" will execute
1109992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	"make distribution", then install, execute the tests, and clean up the
1110992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	sandbox if successful.
1111992f1a8eSEnji Cooper
1112992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	The "make distribution" and "make install" targets are typically run as
1113992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	root to set appropriate permissions and ownership at installation time.
1114992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	The end-user should set "WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER" in src.conf(5) or the
1115992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	environment if executing "make check" with limited sandbox mode using
1116992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	an unprivileged user.

11182f401b0aSKirk McKusick20170808:
11192f401b0aSKirk McKusick	Since the switch to GPT disk labels, fsck for UFS/FFS has been
11202f401b0aSKirk McKusick	unable to automatically find alternate superblocks. As of r322297,
11212f401b0aSKirk McKusick	the information needed to find alternate superblocks has been
11222f401b0aSKirk McKusick	moved to the end of the area reserved for the boot block.
11232f401b0aSKirk McKusick	Filesystems created with a newfs of this vintage or later
11242f401b0aSKirk McKusick	will create the recovery information. If you have a filesystem
11252f401b0aSKirk McKusick	created prior to this change and wish to have a recovery block
11262f401b0aSKirk McKusick	created for your filesystem, you can do so by running fsck in
112744c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	foreground mode (i.e., do not use the -p or -y options). As it
11282f401b0aSKirk McKusick	starts, fsck will ask ``SAVE DATA TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS''
11292f401b0aSKirk McKusick	to which you should answer yes.

1131d10cef38SRick Macklem20170728:
1132d10cef38SRick Macklem	As of r321665, an NFSv4 server configuration that services
1133d10cef38SRick Macklem	Kerberos mounts or clients that do not support the uid/gid in
1134d10cef38SRick Macklem	owner/owner_group string capability, must explicitly enable
1135d10cef38SRick Macklem	the nfsuserd daemon by adding nfsuserd_enable="YES" to the

1147fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits20170625:
1148fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	The FreeBSD/powerpc platform now uses a 64-bit type for time_t.  This is
1149fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must
1150fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	be careful when performing source upgrades.  It is best to run
1151fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live
1152fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition.  Additionally, all ports
1153fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	must be recompiled.  powerpc64 is largely unaffected, except in the case
1154fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	of 32-bit compatibility.  All 32-bit binaries will be affected.
1155fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits
11569dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170623:
11575ab191c4SWarner Losh	Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This
11585ab191c4SWarner Losh	will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
11595ab191c4SWarner Losh	fashion.  This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
11605ab191c4SWarner Losh	upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
11615ab191c4SWarner Losh	the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
1162a28412b0SEd Maste	enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations.
11639dd39fd6SWarner Losh
11649dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170620:
11659dd39fd6SWarner Losh	Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler). Set WITH_GPL_DTC
11669dd39fd6SWarner Losh	if you require the GPL compiler.
11675ab191c4SWarner Losh
116833ecebd1SRick Macklem20170618:
116933ecebd1SRick Macklem	The internal ABI used for communication between the NFS kernel modules
117033ecebd1SRick Macklem	was changed by r320085, so __FreeBSD_version was bumped to
117133ecebd1SRick Macklem	ensure all the NFS related modules are updated together.
117233ecebd1SRick Macklem
11739a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov20170617:
11749a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	The ABI of struct event was changed by extending the data
11759a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	member to 64bit and adding ext fields.  For upgrade, same
11769a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be
11779a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	followed.

1179472c2b48SEd Maste20170531:
1180472c2b48SEd Maste	The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base. To render manpages
1181472c2b48SEd Maste	which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff
1182472c2b48SEd Maste	from ports (and recommends to install it).
1183472c2b48SEd Maste	To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the
1184472c2b48SEd Maste	heirloom doctools roff toolchain from ports via pkg install groff or
1185472c2b48SEd Maste	via pkg install heirloom-doctools.

11879949595eSAdrian Chadd20170524:
11889949595eSAdrian Chadd	The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
11899949595eSAdrian Chadd	smaller runtime footprint builds.  This is useful for embedded systems
11909949595eSAdrian Chadd	which only require one chipset support.
11919949595eSAdrian Chadd
11929949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
11939949595eSAdrian Chadd
11949949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath_load="YES"
11959949595eSAdrian Chadd
11969949595eSAdrian Chadd	This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
11979949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
11989949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
11999949595eSAdrian Chadd
12009949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
12019949595eSAdrian Chadd	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
12029949595eSAdrian Chadd
12039949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_hal
12049949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load the chip modules in question
12059949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
12069949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_main
12079949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
12089949595eSAdrian Chadd	  bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.

1212b149eba4SEd Maste20170523:
1213b149eba4SEd Maste	The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
1214dcfffd04SEd Maste	a number of types to 64 bits.  Upgrading in place requires care and
1215dcfffd04SEd Maste	adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
1216dcfffd04SEd Maste
1217dcfffd04SEd Maste	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
1218dcfffd04SEd Maste	COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
1219dcfffd04SEd Maste	system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
1220dcfffd04SEd Maste
1221dcfffd04SEd Maste	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
1222359d22d4SWarner Losh	artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*".  Then, carefully follow the full
1223359d22d4SWarner Losh	procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild everything and
1224359d22d4SWarner Losh	install it on the current system."  Specifically, a reboot is required
1225359d22d4SWarner Losh	after installing the new kernel before installing world. While an
1226359d22d4SWarner Losh	installworld normally works by accident from multiuser after rebooting
1227359d22d4SWarner Losh	the proper kernel, there are many cases where this will fail across this
1228359d22d4SWarner Losh	upgrade and installworld from single user is required.

1235a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin20170420:
1236a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff has been replaced by a BSD licensed diff. Some features of GNU
1237a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	diff has not been implemented, if those are needed a newer version of

12405810e45bSCy Schubert20170413:
12415810e45bSCy Schubert	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
12425810e45bSCy Schubert	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
12435810e45bSCy Schubert	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
1244a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
12455810e45bSCy Schubert	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
12465810e45bSCy Schubert	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
12470cad3ecaSCy Schubert	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
12485810e45bSCy Schubert
12491bf5e133SEd Maste20170407:
12501bf5e133SEd Maste	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
12511bf5e133SEd Maste	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be

127972dec079SMarius Strobl	The mmcsd.ko module now additionally depends on geom_flashmap.ko.
128072dec079SMarius Strobl	Also, mmc.ko and mmcsd.ko need to be a matching pair built from the
128172dec079SMarius Strobl	same source (previously, the dependency of mmcsd.ko on mmc.ko was
128272dec079SMarius Strobl	missing, but mmcsd.ko now will refuse to load if it is incompatible

12866ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	The syntax of ipfw(8) named states was changed to avoid ambiguity.
12876ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	If you have used named states in the firewall rules, you need to modify

1363bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	Use of the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd, or cc_vegas congestion control
1364bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	modules now requires that the kernel configuration contain the
1365bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	TCP_HHOOK option. (This option is included in the GENERIC kernel.)
1366bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney
13679ce3c6b0SEd Maste20161003:
13689ce3c6b0SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY src.conf(5) knob has been retired.
13699ce3c6b0SEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy is always installed as /usr/bin/objcopy.
13709ce3c6b0SEd Maste
1371bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar20160924:
1372bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
1373bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
1374bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file
1375bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	systems.  On those file systems, foo.So is the same file as foo.so.

13775b71d899SBaptiste Daroussin20160918:
1378f902d06cSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU rcs has been turned off by default.  It can (temporarily) be built
13790adf2bc8SBaptiste Daroussin	again by adding WITH_RCS knob in src.conf.
1380452e1889SBaptiste Daroussin	Otherwise, GNU rcs is available from packages:
1381452e1889SBaptiste Daroussin	- rcs: Latest GPLv3 GNU rcs version.
1382452e1889SBaptiste Daroussin	- rcs57: Copy of the latest version of GNU rcs (GPLv2) from base.

138706b93667SConrad Meyer20160908:
138806b93667SConrad Meyer	The queue(3) debugging macro, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG, has been split into
138906b93667SConrad Meyer	two separate components, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRACE and
139006b93667SConrad Meyer	QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRASH.  Define both for the original
139106b93667SConrad Meyer	QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG behavior.

13931c828193SNavdeep Parhar20160824:
13941c828193SNavdeep Parhar	r304787 changed some ioctl interfaces between the iSCSI userspace
13951c828193SNavdeep Parhar	programs and the kernel.  ctladm, ctld, iscsictl, and iscsid must be
13961c828193SNavdeep Parhar	rebuilt to work with new kernels.  __FreeBSD_version has been bumped
13971c828193SNavdeep Parhar	to 1200005.
13981c828193SNavdeep Parhar
13993e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil20160818:
140041029db1SRyan Stone	The UDP receive code has been updated to only treat incoming UDP
140141029db1SRyan Stone	packets that were addressed to an L2 broadcast address as L3
140241029db1SRyan Stone	broadcast packets.  It is not expected that this will affect any
140341029db1SRyan Stone	standards-conforming UDP application.  The new behaviour can be
140441029db1SRyan Stone	disabled by setting the sysctl net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast to
140541029db1SRyan Stone	0.
140641029db1SRyan Stone
140741029db1SRyan Stone20160818:
14083e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil	Remove the openbsd_poll system call.
14093e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
14103e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil
14117bca8056SPeter Jeremy20160708:
14127bca8056SPeter Jeremy	The stable/11 branch has been created from head@r302406.
14137bca8056SPeter Jeremy
1414ddc2f805SBrooks Davis20160622:
1415678243ffSBrooks Davis	The libc stub for the pipe(2) system call has been replaced with
1416f0db8553SBrooks Davis	a wrapper that calls the pipe2(2) system call and the pipe(2)
1417f0db8553SBrooks Davis	system call is now only implemented by the kernels that include
1418f0db8553SBrooks Davis	"options COMPAT_FREEBSD10" in their config file (this is the
1419f0db8553SBrooks Davis	default).  Users should ensure that this option is enabled in
1420f0db8553SBrooks Davis	their kernel or upgrade userspace to r302092 before upgrading their
1421f0db8553SBrooks Davis	kernel.
1422ddc2f805SBrooks Davis
1423583febf4SAlan Somers20160527:
1424583febf4SAlan Somers	CAM will now strip leading spaces from SCSI disks' serial numbers.
1425fb9b2ab1SBryan Drewery	This will affect users who create UFS filesystems on SCSI disks using
1426583febf4SAlan Somers	those disk's diskid device nodes.  For example, if /etc/fstab
1427583febf4SAlan Somers	previously contained a line like
1428583febf4SAlan Somers	"/dev/diskid/DISK-%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ABCDEFG0123456", you should
1429583febf4SAlan Somers	change it to "/dev/diskid/DISK-ABCDEFG0123456".  Users of geom
1430ab5d7fb1SAlan Somers	transforms like gmirror may also be affected.  ZFS users should
1431583febf4SAlan Somers	generally be fine.
1432583febf4SAlan Somers
14331b82e02fSAlan Somers20160523:
14341b82e02fSAlan Somers	The bitstring(3) API has been updated with new functionality and
14351b82e02fSAlan Somers	improved performance.  But it is binary-incompatible with the old API.
14361b82e02fSAlan Somers	Objects built with the new headers may not be linked against objects
14371b82e02fSAlan Somers	built with the old headers.
14381b82e02fSAlan Somers
143994098ab7SAndrew Turner20160520:
144094098ab7SAndrew Turner	The brk and sbrk functions have been removed from libc on arm64.
144194098ab7SAndrew Turner	Binutils from ports has been updated to not link to these
144294098ab7SAndrew Turner	functions and should be updated to the latest version before
144394098ab7SAndrew Turner	installing a new libc.
144494098ab7SAndrew Turner
14452c0e9e2aSWarner Losh20160517:
14462c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	The armv6 port now defaults to hard float ABI. Limited support
14472c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	for running both hardfloat and soft float on the same system
14482c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	is available using the libraries installed with -DWITH_LIBSOFT.
14492c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	This has only been tested as an upgrade path for installworld
14502c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	and packages may fail or need manual intervention to run. New
14512c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	packages will be needed.
14522c0e9e2aSWarner Losh
1453957fc425SIan Lepore	To update an existing self-hosted armv6hf system, you must add
1454957fc425SIan Lepore	TARGET_ARCH=armv6 on the make command line for both the build
1455957fc425SIan Lepore	and the install steps.
1456957fc425SIan Lepore
14575f0263c1SJohn Baldwin20160510:
14585f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	Kernel modules compiled outside of a kernel build now default to
14595f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	installing to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.  Many kernel
14605f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	modules built this way (such as those in ports) already overrode
14615f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	KMODDIR explicitly to install into /boot/modules.  However,
14625f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	manually building and installing a module from /sys/modules will
14635f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	now install to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.

146513694b35SWarner Losh20160414:
1466a1743365SWarner Losh	The CAM I/O scheduler has been committed to the kernel. There should be
1467a1743365SWarner Losh	no user visible impact. This does enable NCQ Trim on ada SSDs. While the
1468a1743365SWarner Losh	list of known rogues that claim support for this but actually corrupt
1469a1743365SWarner Losh	data is believed to be complete, be on the lookout for data
1470a1743365SWarner Losh	corruption. The known rogue list is believed to be complete:
1471a1743365SWarner Losh
1472a1743365SWarner Losh		o Crucial MX100, M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
1473a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M510 and M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
1474a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M500 prior to MU07 firmware
1475a1743365SWarner Losh		o Samsung 830, 840, and 850 all firmwares
1476a1743365SWarner Losh		o FCCT M500 all firmwares
1477a1743365SWarner Losh
1478a1743365SWarner Losh	Crucial has firmware http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware
1479a1743365SWarner Losh	with working NCQ TRIM. For Micron branded drives, see your sales rep for
1480a1743365SWarner Losh	updated firmware. Black listed drives will work correctly because these
1481a1743365SWarner Losh	drives work correctly so long as no NCQ TRIMs are sent to them. Given
1482a1743365SWarner Losh	this list is the same as found in Linux, it's believed there are no
1483a1743365SWarner Losh	other rogues in the market place. All other models from the above
1484a1743365SWarner Losh	vendors work.
1485a1743365SWarner Losh
1486a1743365SWarner Losh	To be safe, if you are at all concerned, you can quirk each of your
1487a1743365SWarner Losh	drives to prevent NCQ from being sent by setting:
1488a1743365SWarner Losh		kern.cam.ada.X.quirks="0x2"
1489a1743365SWarner Losh	in loader.conf. If the drive requires the 4k sector quirk, set the
1490a1743365SWarner Losh	quirks entry to 0x3.
149113694b35SWarner Losh
1492497e8091SBryan Drewery20160330:
1493497e8091SBryan Drewery	The FAST_DEPEND build option has been removed and its functionality is
1494497e8091SBryan Drewery	now the one true way.  The old mkdep(1) style of 'make depend' has
1495497e8091SBryan Drewery	been removed.  See 20160311 for further details.
1496497e8091SBryan Drewery
1497da1b038aSJustin Hibbits20160317:
1498da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	Resource range types have grown from unsigned long to uintmax_t.  All
1499da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	drivers, and anything using libdevinfo, need to be recompiled.
1500da1b038aSJustin Hibbits
1501d783b170SBryan Drewery20160311:
1502d783b170SBryan Drewery	WITH_FAST_DEPEND is now enabled by default for in-tree and out-of-tree
1503d783b170SBryan Drewery	builds.  It no longer runs mkdep(1) during 'make depend', and the
1504d783b170SBryan Drewery	'make depend' stage can safely be skipped now as it is auto ran
1505d783b170SBryan Drewery	when building 'make all' and will generate all SRCS and DPSRCS before
1506d783b170SBryan Drewery	building anything else.  Dependencies are gathered at compile time with
1507d783b170SBryan Drewery	-MF flags kept in separate .depend files per object file.  Users should
1508d783b170SBryan Drewery	run 'make cleandepend' once if using -DNO_CLEAN to clean out older
1509d783b170SBryan Drewery	stale .depend files.
1510d783b170SBryan Drewery
1511c834228bSDimitry Andric20160306:
1512c834228bSDimitry Andric	On amd64, clang 3.8.0 can now insert sections of type AMD64_UNWIND into
1513c834228bSDimitry Andric	kernel modules.  Therefore, if you load any kernel modules at boot time,
1514c834228bSDimitry Andric	please install the boot loaders after you install the kernel, but before
1515c834228bSDimitry Andric	rebooting, e.g.:
1516c834228bSDimitry Andric
1517c834228bSDimitry Andric	make buildworld
1518779f392bSJohn Baldwin	make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1519779f392bSJohn Baldwin	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1520c834228bSDimitry Andric	make -C sys/boot install
1521c834228bSDimitry Andric	<reboot in single user>
1522c834228bSDimitry Andric
1523c834228bSDimitry Andric	Then follow the usual steps, described in the General Notes section,
1524c834228bSDimitry Andric	below.
1525c834228bSDimitry Andric
1526e74e149fSDimitry Andric20160305:
1527e74e149fSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb and compiler-rt have been upgraded to 3.8.0.  Please
1528e74e149fSDimitry Andric	see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and
1529e74e149fSDimitry Andric	upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
1530e74e149fSDimitry Andric
15318b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin20160301:
15328b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	The AIO subsystem is now a standard part of the kernel.  The
15338b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	VFS_AIO kernel option and aio.ko kernel module have been removed.
15348b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	Due to stability concerns, asynchronous I/O requests are only
15358b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	permitted on sockets and raw disks by default.  To enable
15368b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	asynchronous I/O requests on all file types, set the
15378b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl to a non-zero value.
15388b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin
1539de463b29SEd Maste20160226:
1540ca8b902aSEd Maste	The ELF object manipulation tool objcopy is now provided by the
1541ca8b902aSEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain project rather than by GNU binutils. It should be a
1542ca8b902aSEd Maste	drop-in replacement, with the addition of arm64 support. The
1543ca8b902aSEd Maste	(temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set
1544ca8b902aSEd Maste	to obtain the GNU version if necessary.
1545ca8b902aSEd Maste
1546d4b9233aSAlan Somers20160129:
1547d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Building ZFS pools on top of zvols is prohibited by default.  That
1548d4b9233aSAlan Somers	feature has never worked safely; it's always been prone to deadlocks.
1549d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Using a zvol as the backing store for a VM guest's virtual disk will
1550d4b9233aSAlan Somers	still work, even if the guest is using ZFS.  Legacy behavior can be
1551d4b9233aSAlan Somers	restored by setting vfs.zfs.vol.recursive=1.
1552d4b9233aSAlan Somers
155360c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav20160119:
155460c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	The NONE and HPN patches has been removed from OpenSSH.  They are
155560c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	still available in the security/openssh-portable port.
155660c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav
15573bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo20160113:
15583bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	With the addition of ypldap(8), a new _ypldap user is now required
15593bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add the user
15603bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
15613bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo
15624d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin20151216:
15634d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	The tftp loader (pxeboot) now uses the option root-path directive. As a
15644d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	consequence it no longer looks for a pxeboot.4th file on the tftp
15654d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	server. Instead it uses the regular /boot infrastructure as with the
15664d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	other loaders.
15674d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin
1568ca7e5285SWarner Losh20151211:
1569ca7e5285SWarner Losh	The code to start recording plug and play data into the modules has
1570ca7e5285SWarner Losh	been committed. While the old tools will properly build a new kernel,
1571ca7e5285SWarner Losh	a number of warnings about "unknown metadata record 4" will be produced
1572ca7e5285SWarner Losh	for an older kldxref. To avoid such warnings, make sure to rebuild
1573ca7e5285SWarner Losh	the kernel toolchain (or world). Make sure that you have r292078 or
1574ca7e5285SWarner Losh	later when trying to build 292077 or later before rebuilding.
1575ca7e5285SWarner Losh
1576015dfda6SEd Maste20151207:
1577015dfda6SEd Maste	Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
1578015dfda6SEd Maste	installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
1579015dfda6SEd Maste	requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
1580015dfda6SEd Maste	world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
1581015dfda6SEd Maste	in src.conf(5).
1582015dfda6SEd Maste
158333ba1088SRick Macklem20151130:
158433ba1088SRick Macklem	r291527 changed the internal interface between the nfsd.ko and
158533ba1088SRick Macklem	nfscommon.ko modules. As such, they must both be upgraded to-gether.
158633ba1088SRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
158733ba1088SRick Macklem
1588af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin20151108:
1589af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	Add support for unicode collation strings leads to a change of
1590af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	order of files listed by ls(1) for example. To get back to the old
1591af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	behaviour, set LC_COLLATE environment variable to "C".
1592af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin
15930492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	Databases administrators will need to reindex their databases given
15940492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	collation results will be different.
15950492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin
159610b5202eSBaptiste Daroussin	Due to a bug in install(1) it is recommended to remove the ancient
15971300d6f1SBaptiste Daroussin	locales before running make installworld.

16017bded2dbSJung-uk Kim20151030:
16027bded2dbSJung-uk Kim	The OpenSSL has been upgraded to 1.0.2d.  Any binaries requiring
16037bded2dbSJung-uk Kim	libcrypto.so.7 or libssl.so.7 must be recompiled.

1605ebda5173SAlexander Motin20151020:
1606ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Qlogic 24xx/25xx firmware images were updated from 5.5.0 to 7.3.0.
1607ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Kernel modules isp_2400_multi and isp_2500_multi were removed and
1608ebda5173SAlexander Motin	should be replaced with isp_2400 and isp_2500 modules respectively.
1609ebda5173SAlexander Motin
161056585ab5SBryan Drewery20151017:
161156585ab5SBryan Drewery	The build previously allowed using 'make -n' to not recurse into
161256585ab5SBryan Drewery	sub-directories while showing what commands would be executed, and
161356585ab5SBryan Drewery	'make -n -n' to recursively show commands.  Now 'make -n' will recurse
161456585ab5SBryan Drewery	and 'make -N' will not.
161556585ab5SBryan Drewery
1616ff446b05SPeter Wemm20151012:
1617ff446b05SPeter Wemm	If you specify SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF in make.conf, mergemaster
1618ff446b05SPeter Wemm	and etcupdate will now use this file. A custom sendmail.cf is now
1619ff446b05SPeter Wemm	updated via this mechanism rather than via installworld.  If you had
1620ff446b05SPeter Wemm	excluded sendmail.cf in mergemaster.rc or etcupdate.conf, you may
1621ff446b05SPeter Wemm	want to remove the exclusion or change it to "always install".
1622ff446b05SPeter Wemm	/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is now managed the same way regardless of
1623ff446b05SPeter Wemm	whether SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF is used.  If you are not using
1624ff446b05SPeter Wemm	SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF there should be no change in behavior.
1625ff446b05SPeter Wemm

163805117b57SEd Maste	Kernel debug files have been moved to /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/,
163905117b57SEd Maste	and renamed from .symbols to .debug. This reduces the size requirements
164005117b57SEd Maste	on the boot partition or file system and provides consistency with
164105117b57SEd Maste	userland debug files.
164205117b57SEd Maste
164305117b57SEd Maste	When using the supported kernel installation method the
164405117b57SEd Maste	/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel directory will be renamed (to kernel.old)
164505117b57SEd Maste	as is done with /boot/kernel.
164605117b57SEd Maste
164705117b57SEd Maste	Developers wishing to maintain the historical behavior of installing

16518ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	The wireless drivers had undergone changes that remove the 'parent
16528ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	interface' from the ifconfig -l output. The rc.d network scripts
16538ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	used to check presence of a parent interface in the list, so old
16548ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	scripts would fail to start wireless networking. Thus, etcupdate(3)
16558ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	or mergemaster(8) run is required after kernel update, to update your
16568ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	rc.d scripts in /etc.

1663646041a8SMark Murray20150817:
1664646041a8SMark Murray	Kernel-loadable modules for the random(4) device are back. To use
1665646041a8SMark Murray	them, the kernel must have
1666646041a8SMark Murray

1668646041a8SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_LOADABLE

1670646041a8SMark Murray	kldload(8) can then be used to load random_fortuna.ko
1671646041a8SMark Murray	or random_yarrow.ko. Please note that due to the indirect
1672646041a8SMark Murray	function calls that the loadable modules need to provide,
1673646041a8SMark Murray	the build-in variants will be slightly more efficient.
1674646041a8SMark Murray
1675646041a8SMark Murray	The random(4) kernel option RANDOM_DUMMY has been retired due to
1676646041a8SMark Murray	unpopularity. It was not all that useful anyway.

1683e7dbaf58SIan Lepore20150810:
1684e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	The polarity of Pulse Per Second (PPS) capture events with the
1685e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	uart(4) driver has been corrected.  Prior to this change the PPS
1686e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	"assert" event corresponded to the trailing edge of a positive PPS
1687e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	pulse and the "clear" event was the leading edge of the next pulse.
1688e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1689e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	As the width of a PPS pulse in a typical GPS receiver is on the
1690e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	order of 1 millisecond, most users will not notice any significant
1691e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	difference with this change.
1692e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1693e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	Anyone who has compensated for the historical polarity reversal by
1694e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	configuring a negative offset equal to the pulse width will need to
1695e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	remove that workaround.

17151635369eSSteven Hartland20150728:
171668d5f492SSteven Hartland	As ZFS requires more kernel stack pages than is the default on some
17171635369eSSteven Hartland	architectures e.g. i386, it now warns if KSTACK_PAGES is less than
17181635369eSSteven Hartland	ZFS_MIN_KSTACK_PAGES (which is 4 at the time of writing).
17191635369eSSteven Hartland
17201635369eSSteven Hartland	Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=X' where X is greater
17211635369eSSteven Hartland	than or equal to ZFS_MIN_KSTACK_PAGES i.e. 4 in such configurations.

1723ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro20150706:
1724ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail has been updated to 8.15.2.  Starting with FreeBSD 11.0
1725ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	and sendmail 8.15, sendmail uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by
1726ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	default, i.e., they will not contain "::".  For example, instead
1727ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	of ::1, it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1.  This permits a zero subnet
1728ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	to have a more specific match, such as different map entries for
1729ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0.  This change requires that configuration
1730ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	data (including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset, etc.) must
1731ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	use the same format, so make certain such configuration data is
1732ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	upgrading.  As a very simple check search for patterns like
1733ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'.  To return to the old
1734ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	behavior, set the m4 option confUSE_COMPRESSED_IPV6_ADDRESSES or
1735ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	the cf option UseCompressedIPv6Addresses.

1737d1b06863SMark Murray20150630:
1738d1b06863SMark Murray	The default kernel entropy-processing algorithm is now
1739d1b06863SMark Murray	Fortuna, replacing Yarrow.
17406f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1741d1b06863SMark Murray	Assuming you have 'device random' in your kernel config
1742d1b06863SMark Murray	file, the configurations allow a kernel option to override
1743d1b06863SMark Murray	this default. You may choose *ONE* of:
17446f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1745d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_YARROW	# Legacy /dev/random algorithm.
1746d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_DUMMY	# Blocking-only driver.
17476f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1748d1b06863SMark Murray	If you have neither, you get Fortuna.  For most people,
1749d1b06863SMark Murray	read no further, Fortuna will give a /dev/random that works
1750d1b06863SMark Murray	like it always used to, and the difference will be irrelevant.
17516f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1752d1b06863SMark Murray	If you remove 'device random', you get *NO* kernel-processed
175302dcb6e0SEitan Adler	entropy at all. This may be acceptable to folks building
1754d1b06863SMark Murray	embedded systems, but has complications. Carry on reading,
1755d1b06863SMark Murray	and it is assumed you know what you need.
1756d1b06863SMark Murray
1757d1b06863SMark Murray	*PLEASE* read random(4) and random(9) if you are in the
175802dcb6e0SEitan Adler	habit of tweaking kernel configs, and/or if you are a member
1759d1b06863SMark Murray	of the embedded community, wanting specific and not-usual
1760d1b06863SMark Murray	behaviour from your security subsystems.
1761d1b06863SMark Murray
1762d1b06863SMark Murray	NOTE!! If you use RANDOM_DUMMY and/or have no 'device
1763d1b06863SMark Murray	random', you will NOT have a functioning /dev/random, and
1764d1b06863SMark Murray	many cryptographic features will not work, including SSH.
1765d1b06863SMark Murray	You may also find strange behaviour from the random(3) set
1766d1b06863SMark Murray	of library functions, in particular sranddev(3), srandomdev(3)
1767d1b06863SMark Murray	and arc4random(3). The reason for this is that the KERN_ARND
1768d1b06863SMark Murray	sysctl only returns entropy if it thinks it has some to
1769d1b06863SMark Murray	share, and with RANDOM_DUMMY or no 'device random' this
1770d1b06863SMark Murray	will never happen.

18989cac79b3SDimitry Andric	Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.5.1 release.  This is a bugfix
18999cac79b3SDimitry Andric	only release, no new features have been added.  Please see the 20141231
19009cac79b3SDimitry Andric	entry below for information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you
19019cac79b3SDimitry Andric	are not already using 3.5.0.

1903968d62e1SEd Maste20150107:
1904968d62e1SEd Maste	ELF tools addr2line, elfcopy (strip), nm, size, and strings are now
1905968d62e1SEd Maste	taken from the ELF Tool Chain project rather than GNU binutils. They
1906968d62e1SEd Maste	should be drop-in replacements, with the addition of arm64 support.
1907968d62e1SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_ELFTOOLCHAIN_TOOLS= knob may be used to obtain the
1908f97aa232SEd Maste	binutils tools, if necessary. See 20150805 for updated information.

1910f1b3840cSDag-Erling Smørgrav20150105:
1911f1b3840cSDag-Erling Smørgrav	The default Unbound configuration now enables remote control
1912f1b3840cSDag-Erling Smørgrav	using a local socket.  Users who have already enabled the
1913f1b3840cSDag-Erling Smørgrav	local_unbound service should regenerate their configuration
1914f1b3840cSDag-Erling Smørgrav	by running "service local_unbound setup" as root.

1920143c11b4SDimitry Andric20141231:
1921143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm and lldb have been upgraded to 3.5.0 release.
1922143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19230ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	As of this release, a prerequisite for building clang, llvm and lldb is
19240ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	a C++11 capable compiler and C++11 standard library.  This means that to
1925143c11b4SDimitry Andric	be able to successfully build the cross-tools stage of buildworld, with
1926143c11b4SDimitry Andric	clang as the bootstrap compiler, your system compiler or cross compiler
1927143c11b4SDimitry Andric	should either be clang 3.3 or later, or gcc 4.8 or later, and your
1928143c11b4SDimitry Andric	system C++ library should be libc++, or libdstdc++ from gcc 4.8 or
1929143c11b4SDimitry Andric	later.
1930143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19310ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	On any standard FreeBSD 10.x or 11.x installation, where clang and
19320ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	libc++ are on by default (that is, on x86 or arm), this should work out
19330ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	of the box.
1934143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1935143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 9.x installations where clang is enabled by default, e.g. on x86 and
1936143c11b4SDimitry Andric	powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be
1937143c11b4SDimitry Andric	built (with clang) and installed first.  If both clang and libc++ are
1938143c11b4SDimitry Andric	missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++.
1939143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1940143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow
1941143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the instructions for 9.x above.
1942143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19430ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by
19440ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	default, and do not build clang.
19450ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
19460ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to
19470ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all.  In those
19480ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround.
19490ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
1950143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which
1951143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the following are most likely to appear:
1952143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1953143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wabsolute-value
1954143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1955143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This warns in two cases, for both C and C++:
1956143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned
1957143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was
1958143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  intended.  The code should be fixed, if at all possible.  If you are
1959143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without
1960143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit
1961143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  cast, or disable the warning.
1962143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1963143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called
1964143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation.
1965143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please
1966143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted
1967143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  side-effects.
1968143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1969143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wtautological-undefined-compare and
1970143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wundefined-bool-conversion
1971143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1972143c11b4SDimitry Andric	These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while
1973143c11b4SDimitry Andric	'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code.  However, there is
1974143c11b4SDimitry Andric	some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this
1975143c11b4SDimitry Andric	feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions.
1976143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1977143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Squid and openjdk do this, for example.  The warning can be turned off
1978143c11b4SDimitry Andric	for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result
1979143c11b4SDimitry Andric	in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are
1980143c11b4SDimitry Andric	unreachable could be optimized away.
1981143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19820b327b63SRick Macklem20141222:
19830b327b63SRick Macklem	The old NFS client and server (kernel options NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER)
19840b327b63SRick Macklem	kernel sources have been removed. The .h files remain, since some
19850b327b63SRick Macklem	utilities include them. This will need to be fixed later.
19860b327b63SRick Macklem	If "mount -t oldnfs ..." is attempted, it will fail.
19870b327b63SRick Macklem	If the "-o" option on mountd(8), nfsd(8) or nfsstat(1) is used,
19880b327b63SRick Macklem	the utilities will report errors.
19890b327b63SRick Macklem
19905f25ee9cSBrooks Davis20141121:
19915f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	The handling of LOCAL_LIB_DIRS has been altered to skip addition of
19925f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	directories to top level SUBDIR variable when their parent
19935f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	directory is included in LOCAL_DIRS.  Users with build systems with
19945f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	such hierarchies and without SUBDIR entries in the parent
19955f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	directory Makefiles should add them or add the directories to
19965f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	LOCAL_DIRS.
19975f25ee9cSBrooks Davis
1998603eaf79SAlexander V. Chernikov20141109:
199974342541SChristian Brueffer	faith(4) and faithd(8) have been removed from the base system. Faith
2000603eaf79SAlexander V. Chernikov	has been obsolete for a very long time.
2001603eaf79SAlexander V. Chernikov
20022d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron20141104:
20032d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	vt(4), the new console driver, is enabled by default. It brings
20042d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	support for Unicode and double-width characters, as well as
20052d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	support for UEFI and integration with the KMS kernel video
20062d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	drivers.
20072d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
20082d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf,
20092d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	most probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will
20102d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	indicate what you need to do.
20112d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
20122d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to
20132d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	syscons(4). See the wiki for up-to-date information:
20142d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	  https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
20152d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
20162d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding
20172d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	the following line to /boot/loader.conf:
20182d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	  kern.vty=sc
20192d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
2020fa809347SEnji Cooper20141102:
2021fa809347SEnji Cooper	pjdfstest has been integrated into kyua as an opt-in test suite.
202274342541SChristian Brueffer	Please see share/doc/pjdfstest/README for more details on how to
2023fa809347SEnji Cooper	execute it.
2024fa809347SEnji Cooper
2025ddd96d23SEd Maste20141009:
2026ddd96d23SEd Maste	gperf has been removed from the base system for architectures
2027ddd96d23SEd Maste	that use clang. Ports that require gperf will obtain it from the
2028ddd96d23SEd Maste	devel/gperf port.
2029ddd96d23SEd Maste
203040a8ac8fSEnji Cooper20140923:
203140a8ac8fSEnji Cooper	pjdfstest has been moved from tools/regression/pjdfstest to

2034243d6a50SSean Bruno20140922:
2035243d6a50SSean Bruno	At svn r271982, The default linux compat kernel ABI has been adjusted
2036243d6a50SSean Bruno	to 2.6.18 in support of the linux-c6 compat ports infrastructure
2037243d6a50SSean Bruno	update.  If you wish to continue using the linux-f10 compat ports,
2038243d6a50SSean Bruno	add compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 to your local sysctl.conf.  Users are
2039243d6a50SSean Bruno	encouraged to update their linux-compat packages to linux-c6 during
2040243d6a50SSean Bruno	their next update cycle.
2041243d6a50SSean Bruno
2042232490c6SNathan Whitehorn20140729:
2043232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	The ofwfb driver, used to provide a graphics console on PowerPC when
204474342541SChristian Brueffer	using vt(4), no longer allows mmap() of all physical memory. This
2045232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	will prevent Xorg on PowerPC with some ATI graphics cards from
2046232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	initializing properly unless x11-servers/xorg-server is updated to
2047232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	1.12.4_8 or newer.
2048232490c6SNathan Whitehorn
20490aafd404SWarner Losh20140723:
20500aafd404SWarner Losh	The xdev targets have been converted to using TARGET and
20510aafd404SWarner Losh	TARGET_ARCH instead of XDEV and XDEV_ARCH.
20520aafd404SWarner Losh
20530d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav20140719:
20540d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	The default unbound configuration has been modified to address
20550d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	issues with reverse lookups on networks that use private
20560d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	address ranges.  If you use the local_unbound service, run
20570d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	"service local_unbound setup" as root to regenerate your
20580d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	configuration, then "service local_unbound reload" to load the
20590d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	new configuration.

2061f4717209SBaptiste Daroussin20140709:
2062f4717209SBaptiste Daroussin	The GNU texinfo and GNU info pages are not built and installed
2063f4717209SBaptiste Daroussin	anymore, WITH_INFO knob has been added to allow to built and install
2064f4717209SBaptiste Daroussin	them again.
20652d281361SBaptiste Daroussin	UPDATE: see 20150102 entry on texinfo's removal

20678a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin20140708:
20688a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin	The GNU readline library is now an INTERNALLIB - that is, it is
20698a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin	statically linked into consumers (GDB and variants) in the base
20708a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin	system, and the shared library is no longer installed.  The
20718a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin	devel/readline port is available for third party software that
20728a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin	requires readline.

207450f73640SMarcel Moolenaar20140702:
207550f73640SMarcel Moolenaar	The Itanium architecture (ia64) has been removed from the list of
207650f73640SMarcel Moolenaar	known architectures. This is the first step in the removal of the
207750f73640SMarcel Moolenaar	architecture.
207850f73640SMarcel Moolenaar
207918aa7fccSRick Macklem20140701:
208018aa7fccSRick Macklem	Commit r268115 has added NFSv4.1 server support, merged from
208118aa7fccSRick Macklem	projects/nfsv4.1-server.  Since this includes changes to the
208218aa7fccSRick Macklem	internal interfaces between the NFS related modules, a full
208318aa7fccSRick Macklem	build of the kernel and modules will be necessary.
208418aa7fccSRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped.
208518aa7fccSRick Macklem
2086824a9093SEd Maste20140629:
2087824a9093SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_VT_SUPPORT kernel config knob has been renamed
2088824a9093SEd Maste	WITHOUT_VT.  (The other _SUPPORT knobs have a consistent meaning
2089824a9093SEd Maste	which differs from the behaviour controlled by this knob.)
2090824a9093SEd Maste
209138b72f8cSAlexander Motin20140619:
209238b72f8cSAlexander Motin	Maximal length of the serial number in CTL was increased from 16 to
209338b72f8cSAlexander Motin	64 chars, that breaks ABI.  All CTL-related tools, such as ctladm
209438b72f8cSAlexander Motin	and ctld, need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
209538b72f8cSAlexander Motin
2096727a7ce8SJulio Merino20140606:
2097727a7ce8SJulio Merino	The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and
2098727a7ce8SJulio Merino	1 respectively to match the upstream numbers.  They were out of
2099727a7ce8SJulio Merino	sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the
2100727a7ce8SJulio Merino	upstream versions were not respected.  These libraries are private
2101727a7ce8SJulio Merino	and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a
2102727a7ce8SJulio Merino	non-issue.  However, unclean source trees will yield broken test
2103727a7ce8SJulio Merino	programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a
2104727a7ce8SJulio Merino	"make installworld".
2105727a7ce8SJulio Merino
21068c7ec47aSJulio Merino	Additionally, the atf-sh binary was made private by moving it into
21078c7ec47aSJulio Merino	/usr/libexec/.  Already-built shell test programs will keep the
21088c7ec47aSJulio Merino	path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old"
21098c7ec47aSJulio Merino	is run.
21108c7ec47aSJulio Merino
2111727a7ce8SJulio Merino	If you are using WITH_TESTS=yes (not the default), wipe the object
2112727a7ce8SJulio Merino	tree and rebuild from scratch to prevent spurious test failures.
21138c7ec47aSJulio Merino	This is only needed once: the misnumbered libraries and misplaced
21148c7ec47aSJulio Merino	binaries have been added to OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc so they will
21158c7ec47aSJulio Merino	be removed during a clean upgrade.
2116727a7ce8SJulio Merino
211785d60e68SDimitry Andric20140512:
211885d60e68SDimitry Andric	Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4.1 release.
211985d60e68SDimitry Andric
2120fa114234SWarner Losh20140508:
2121fa114234SWarner Losh	We bogusly installed src.opts.mk in /usr/share/mk. This file should
2122fa114234SWarner Losh	be removed to avoid issues in the future (and has been added to
2123fa114234SWarner Losh	ObsoleteFiles.inc).
2124fa114234SWarner Losh
2125a46954e2SWarner Losh20140505:
2126a46954e2SWarner Losh	/etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the
2127a46954e2SWarner Losh	past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old
2128a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this
2129a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf
2130a46954e2SWarner Losh	(which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the
2131a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual
213259a24370SWarner Losh	directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that.
2133a46954e2SWarner Losh	Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios,
213455b76981SWarner Losh	other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of
213555b76981SWarner Losh	temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld
213659a24370SWarner Losh	as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this
213759a24370SWarner Losh	setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree.
2138a46954e2SWarner Losh
2139bd871f14SWarner Losh	One side effect of all this cleaning up is that bsd.compiler.mk
2140bd871f14SWarner Losh	is no longer implicitly included by bsd.own.mk. If you wish to
2141bd871f14SWarner Losh	use COMPILER_TYPE, you must now explicitly include bsd.compiler.mk
2142bd871f14SWarner Losh	as well.

2144461dbce2SEitan Adler20140430:
2145461dbce2SEitan Adler	The lindev device has been removed since /dev/full has been made a

2148e9aba509SEnji Cooper20140424:
2149e9aba509SEnji Cooper	The knob WITHOUT_VI was added to the base system, which controls
2150e9aba509SEnji Cooper	building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1)
2151e9aba509SEnji Cooper	in order to reorder files share/termcap and didn't build ex(1) as a
2152e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build tool, so building/installing with WITH_VI is highly advised for
2153e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build hosts for older releases.
2154e9aba509SEnji Cooper
2155e9aba509SEnji Cooper	This issue has been fixed in stable/9 and stable/10 in r277022 and
2156e9aba509SEnji Cooper	r276991, respectively.

21582bb08298SWarner Losh20140418:
21592bb08298SWarner Losh	The YES_HESIOD knob has been removed. It has been obsolete for
21602bb08298SWarner Losh	a decade. Please move to using WITH_HESIOD instead or your builds
21612bb08298SWarner Losh	will silently lack HESIOD.

21644c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
21654c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	of the low-level console. Previously the uart(4) driver prevented
21664c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL
21674c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make
21684c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	changes to the serial console port without having to reboot.
21694c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is
21704c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal
21714c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact.
21724c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the
21734c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to
2174086036aaSMarcel Moolenaar	preserve the previous behaviour. E.g:
21754c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	    ttyu0  "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"  vt100  on  secure

2184a9fd2218SWarner Losh	dts files not being supported by the BSDL dtc compiler. You will need
2185a9fd2218SWarner Losh	to rebuild your kernel toolchain to pick up the new compiler. Core dumps
2186a9fd2218SWarner Losh	may result while building dtb files during a kernel build if you fail

21979f23d19aSDimitry Andric	An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
21989f23d19aSDimitry Andric	This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built
21999f23d19aSDimitry Andric	against the previous version of libc++ to crash.  The incompatibility
22009f23d19aSDimitry Andric	has now been fixed, but any C++ applications or shared libraries built
22019f23d19aSDimitry Andric	between r261283 and r261801 should be recompiled.

2220d7efee23SJulio Merino20140110:
2221d7efee23SJulio Merino	If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile
2222d7efee23SJulio Merino	instead of providing an explicit one, this would prevent such
2223d7efee23SJulio Merino	Makefile from providing its own Kyuafile in the future during
2224d7efee23SJulio Merino	NO_CLEAN builds.  This has been fixed in the Makefiles but manual
2225d7efee23SJulio Merino	intervention is needed to clean an objdir if you use NO_CLEAN:

22292773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The behavior of gss_pseudo_random() for the krb5 mechanism
22302773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	has changed, for applications requesting a longer random string
22312773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.
22322773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	In particular, the random string produced from a session key of
22332773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	enctype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 or aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 will
22342773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	be different at the 17th octet and later, after this change.
22352773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The counter used in the PRF+ construction is now encoded as a

2267a24eff53SWarner Losh	General Notes
2268a24eff53SWarner Losh	-------------
22695780f3baSWarner Losh	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
22705780f3baSWarner Losh	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
2271456b5dd8SWarner Losh	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
2272456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
2273456b5dd8SWarner Losh	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
227416ae8351SEd Maste	Occasionally a build failure will occur with "make -j" due to a race
227516ae8351SEd Maste	condition.  If this happens try building again without -j, and please
227616ae8351SEd Maste	report a bug if it happens consistently.
22775780f3baSWarner Losh
22785ad05815SWarner Losh	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
22795ad05815SWarner Losh	upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
22805ad05815SWarner Losh	do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
22815ad05815SWarner Losh	and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try this
22825ad05815SWarner Losh	approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade.  Since
228344c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from
22845ad05815SWarner Losh	anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
22855ad05815SWarner Losh	last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's
22865ad05815SWarner Losh	an exception.

228856cd269eSEd Maste	The update process will emit an error on an attempt to perform a build
228956cd269eSEd Maste	or install from a FreeBSD version below the earliest supported version.
229056cd269eSEd Maste	When updating from an older version the update should be performed one
229156cd269eSEd Maste	major release at a time, including running `make delete-old` at each
229256cd269eSEd Maste	step.

22946eeab389SWarner Losh	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before

22999c80b8aaSWarner Losh	This file should be read as a log of events. When a later event changes

23019c80b8aaSWarner Losh	Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be
23029c80b8aaSWarner Losh	placed in the old entry. Readers of this file should also sanity check
23039c80b8aaSWarner Losh	older entries before relying on them blindly. Authors of new entries

23068fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
23078fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
23088fc25799SMartin Matuska	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
23098fc25799SMartin Matuska	these two steps:
23108fc25799SMartin Matuska
23118fc25799SMartin Matuska	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
23128fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
23138fc25799SMartin Matuska
23148fc25799SMartin Matuska	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
23158fc25799SMartin Matuska
2316d8e59012SColin Percival	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the
2317d8e59012SColin Percival	freebsd-boot partition of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
2318d8e59012SColin Percival	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i $N ada0"
2319d8e59012SColin Percival	The value $N will typically be 1 (if booting from BIOS) or 2 (if
2320d8e59012SColin Percival	booting from EFI).
23218fc25799SMartin Matuska
23228fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.

2397fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
2398fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
2399fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
2400fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
2401fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
2402ba26da8eSWarner Losh
24031dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
24041dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
24051dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
24061dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
24071dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.
24081dece4a9SWarner Losh
2409d2799054SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you should disable
2410d2799054SWarner Losh	them at this point so they don't crash your system on
2411d2799054SWarner Losh	reboot. Alternatively, you should rebuild all the modules you have in
2412d2799054SWarner Losh	your system and install them as well.  If you are running -current, you
2413d2799054SWarner Losh	should seriously consider placing all sources to all the modules for
2414d2799054SWarner Losh	your system (or symlinks to them) in /usr/local/sys/modules so this
2415d2799054SWarner Losh	happens automatically. If all your modules come from ports, then adding
2416d2799054SWarner Losh	the port origin directories to PORTS_MODULES instead is also automatic
2417d2799054SWarner Losh	and effective, eg:
2418d2799054SWarner Losh	     PORTS_MODULES+=x11/nvidia-driver

2430a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step

2433a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
2434a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists

2442835284beSWarner Losh	install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
244320e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430.

244594877c06SAlexander Leidinger	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
244694877c06SAlexander Leidinger	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
244794877c06SAlexander Leidinger	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.

2449ed651a74SWarner Losh	[8] The new kernel must be able to run existing binaries used by an
2450ed651a74SWarner Losh	installworld.  When upgrading across major versions, the new kernel's
2451ed651a74SWarner Losh	configuration must include the correct COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> option for
2452ed651a74SWarner Losh	existing binaries (e.g. COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to run 11.x binaries).  Failure
2453ed651a74SWarner Losh	to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A
2454ed651a74SWarner Losh	GENERIC kernel will include suitable compatibility options to run
2455ed651a74SWarner Losh	binaries from older branches.  Note that the ability to run binaries
2456ed651a74SWarner Losh	from unsupported branches is not guaranteed.

2458e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
24598ed2d94aSWarner Losh	last time you updated your kernel config file. Options also
24608ed2d94aSWarner Losh	change over time, so you may need to adjust your custom kernels
24618ed2d94aSWarner Losh	for these as well.

2463e5f5a852SEitan Adler	[9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2464e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2465e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2466e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
2467e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2468e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
2469e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	warn if it is improperly defined.
