If you have trouble bootstrapping 156eeab389SWarner Loshfrom older versions of FreeBSD, try WITHOUT_CLANG to bootstrap to the tip of 16da0e842aSWarner Loshhead, and then rebuild without this option. The bootstrap process from 17da0e842aSWarner Losholder version of current is a bit fragile. 184f1def68SWarner Losh 198a3b6cc1SKen SmithNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 10.x IS SLOW: 208a3b6cc1SKen Smith FreeBSD 10.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel 21456b5dd8SWarner Losh and userland. These features attempt to detect incorrect use of 22456b5dd8SWarner Losh system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity 23456b5dd8SWarner Losh checking and fail stop semantics. They also substantially impact 24456b5dd8SWarner Losh system performance. If you want to do performance measurement, 25456b5dd8SWarner Losh benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off. This 26456b5dd8SWarner Losh includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc 27456b5dd8SWarner Losh debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the 28456b5dd8SWarner Losh kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build 2999e449f2SJason Evans machines to maximize performance. (To completely disable malloc 3099e449f2SJason Evans debugging, define MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf, or to merely 3199e449f2SJason Evans disable the most expensive debugging functionality run 3299e449f2SJason Evans "ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".) 33efc06131SSam Leffler 34*5b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav20130618: 35*5b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav Fix a bug that allowed a tracing process (e.g. gdb) to write 36*5b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav to a memory-mapped file in the traced process's address space 37*5b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav even if neither the traced process nor the tracing process had 38*5b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav write access to that file. 39*5b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav 401cbff2a9SEitan Adler20130615: 411cbff2a9SEitan Adler CVS has been removed from the base system. An exact copy 421cbff2a9SEitan Adler of the code is available from the devel/cvs port. 431cbff2a9SEitan Adler 44ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty20130613: 45ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty Some people report the following error after the switch to bmake: 46ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 47ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty make: illegal option -- J 48ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty usage: make [-BPSXeiknpqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable] 49ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty ... 50ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty *** [buildworld] Error code 2 51ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 52ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty this likely due to an old instance of make in 53ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty ${MAKEPATH} (${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/make.${MACHINE}) 54ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty which src/Makefile will use that blindly, if it exists, so if 55ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty you see the above error: 56ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 57ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty rm -rf `make -V MAKEPATH` 58ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 59ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty should resolve it. 60ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 61ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty20130516: 62ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty Use bmake by default. 63ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via 64ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty -DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old 65ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE. 66ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty 67ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command 68ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the 69ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty command line. Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer 70ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent 71ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty behavior in parallel build. 72ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty 7332164d53SDag-Erling Smørgrav20130429: 7432164d53SDag-Erling Smørgrav Fix a bug that allows NFS clients to issue READDIR on files. 7532164d53SDag-Erling Smørgrav 76562a9d58SSteven Hartland20130426: 77850163e4SEitan Adler The WITHOUT_IDEA option has been removed because 78850163e4SEitan Adler the IDEA patent expired. 79850163e4SEitan Adler 80850163e4SEitan Adler20130426: 81562a9d58SSteven Hartland The sysctl which controls TRIM support under ZFS has been renamed 82562a9d58SSteven Hartland from vfs.zfs.trim_disable -> vfs.zfs.trim.enabled and has been 83562a9d58SSteven Hartland enabled by default. 84562a9d58SSteven Hartland 8520e0cc0aSBrooks Davis20130425: 8620e0cc0aSBrooks Davis The mergemaster command now uses the default MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX 8720e0cc0aSBrooks Davis rather than creating it's own in the temporary directory in 8820e0cc0aSBrooks Davis order allow access to bootstrapped versions of tools such as 8920e0cc0aSBrooks Davis install and mtree. When upgrading from version of FreeBSD where 9020e0cc0aSBrooks Davis the install command does not support -l, you will need to 9120e0cc0aSBrooks Davis install a new mergemaster command if mergemaster -p is required. 9220e0cc0aSBrooks Davis This can be accomplished with the command (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster 9320e0cc0aSBrooks Davis && make install). 9420e0cc0aSBrooks Davis 959a95a7caSAlexander Motin20130404: 969a95a7caSAlexander Motin Legacy ATA stack, disabled and replaced by new CAM-based one since 979a95a7caSAlexander Motin FreeBSD 9.0, completely removed from the sources. Kernel modules 989a95a7caSAlexander Motin atadisk and atapi*, user-level tools atacontrol and burncd are 999a95a7caSAlexander Motin removed. Kernel option `options ATA_CAM` is now permanently enabled 1009a95a7caSAlexander Motin and removed. 1019a95a7caSAlexander Motin 1025ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker20130319: 1035ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK flags have been added to socket(2) 1045ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker and socketpair(2). Software, in particular Kerberos, may 1055ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker automatically detect and use these during building. The resulting 1065ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker binaries will not work on older kernels. 1075ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker 108105421ffSMarius Strobl20130308: 109105421ffSMarius Strobl CTL_DISABLE has also been added to the sparc64 GENERIC (for further 110105421ffSMarius Strobl information, see the respective 20130304 entry). 111105421ffSMarius Strobl 1123a45b478SKenneth D. Merry20130304: 11323d44ab5SDavide Italiano Recent commits to callout(9) changed the size of struct callout, 11423d44ab5SDavide Italiano so the KBI is probably heavily disturbed. Also, some functions 11523d44ab5SDavide Italiano in callout(9)/sleep(9)/sleepqueue(9)/condvar(9) KPIs were replaced 11623d44ab5SDavide Italiano by macros. Every kernel module using it won't load, so rebuild 11723d44ab5SDavide Italiano is requested. 11823d44ab5SDavide Italiano 1193a45b478SKenneth D. Merry The ctl device has been re-enabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64, 1203a45b478SKenneth D. Merry but does not initialize by default (because of the new CTL_DISABLE 1213a45b478SKenneth D. Merry option) to save memory. To re-enable it, remove the CTL_DISABLE 1223a45b478SKenneth D. Merry option from the kernel config file or set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0 1233a45b478SKenneth D. Merry in /boot/loader.conf. 1243a45b478SKenneth D. Merry 125fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd20130301: 126fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd The ctl device has been disabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64. 127fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd This was done due to the extra memory being allocated at system 128fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd initialisation time by the ctl driver which was only used if 129fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd a CAM target device was created. This makes a FreeBSD system 130fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd unusable on 128MB or less of RAM. 131fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd 13220a011d5SXin LI20130208: 13320a011d5SXin LI A new compression method (lz4) has been merged to -HEAD. Please 13420a011d5SXin LI refer to zpool-features(7) for more information. 13520a011d5SXin LI 13620a011d5SXin LI Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information 13720a011d5SXin LI on upgrading boot ZFS pools. 13820a011d5SXin LI 1392dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan20130129: 1402dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed 1412dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch. 1422dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default, 1432dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild 1442d329593SGabor Kovesdan and install world with the WITH_BSD_PATCH knob set. 1452dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan 146fe06cae7SBrooks Davis20130121: 147fe06cae7SBrooks Davis Due to the use of the new -l option to install(1) during build 148fe06cae7SBrooks Davis and install, you must take care not to directly set the INSTALL 149fe06cae7SBrooks Davis make variable in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf, or on the 1508c5836c3SEitan Adler command line. If you wish to use the -C flag for all installs 151fe06cae7SBrooks Davis you may be able to add INSTALL+=-C to /etc/make.conf or 152fe06cae7SBrooks Davis /etc/src.conf. 153fe06cae7SBrooks Davis 154f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis20130118: 155f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an 156f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis argument that is a file or path to append logs to. In the 157f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line 158f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis and the command line contained at least two files and a target 159f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis directory the first file will have logs appended to it. The -M 1604cf5de80SGlen Barber option served little practical purpose in the last decade so its 1614cf5de80SGlen Barber use is expected to be extremely rare. 162f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis 1633fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon20121223: 1643fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon After switching to Clang as the default compiler some users of ZFS 1653fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon on i386 systems started to experience stack overflow kernel panics. 1663fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=4' in such configurations. 1673fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon 168efec959cSJaakko Heinonen20121222: 169efec959cSJaakko Heinonen GEOM_LABEL now mangles label names read from file system metadata. 170efec959cSJaakko Heinonen Mangling affect labels containing spaces, non-printable characters, 171efec959cSJaakko Heinonen '%' or '"'. Device names in /etc/fstab and other places may need to 172efec959cSJaakko Heinonen be updated. 173efec959cSJaakko Heinonen 17411631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek20121217: 17511631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek By default, only the 10 most recent kernel dumps will be saved. To 17611631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek restore the previous behaviour (no limit on the number of kernel dumps 17711631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek stored in the dump directory) add the following line to /etc/rc.conf: 17811631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek 17911631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek savecore_flags="" 18011631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek 181e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson20121201: 182e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now 183e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson depended on during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add 184e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook. 185e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson 186b91dc775SHiroki Sato20121117: 187b91dc775SHiroki Sato The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now 188b91dc775SHiroki Sato filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via 189b91dc775SHiroki Sato sysctl or routing socket. This means the KAME-specific embedded scope 190b91dc775SHiroki Sato id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application. 191b91dc775SHiroki Sato This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid. 192b91dc775SHiroki Sato __FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025. 193b91dc775SHiroki Sato 1945b6478b0SBrooks Davis20121105: 1955b6478b0SBrooks Davis On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default. 1965b6478b0SBrooks Davis This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang 1975b6478b0SBrooks Davis and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++, 1985b6478b0SBrooks Davis and /usr/bin/cpp. To disable this behavior and revert to building 199da0e842aSWarner Losh with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC. Really old versions 200da0e842aSWarner Losh of current may need to bootstrap WITHOUT_CLANG first if the clang 201da0e842aSWarner Losh build fails (its compatibility window doesn't extend to the 9 stable 202da0e842aSWarner Losh branch point). 2035b6478b0SBrooks Davis 204ffdbf9daSAndrey V. Elsukov20121102: 205a971b547SAndrey V. Elsukov The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD kernel option has been removed. Its 206ffdbf9daSAndrey V. Elsukov functionality now turned on by default. 207a971b547SAndrey V. Elsukov 2088f134647SGleb Smirnoff20121023: 209cb69178dSAndre Oppermann The ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option has been removed and 210cb69178dSAndre Oppermann split into SOCKET_SEND_COW and SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP. 211cb69178dSAndre Oppermann NB: SOCKET_SEND_COW uses the VM page based copy-on-write 212cb69178dSAndre Oppermann mechanism which is not safe and may result in kernel crashes. 213cb69178dSAndre Oppermann NB: The SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP mechanism is useless as no current 214cb69178dSAndre Oppermann driver supports disposeable external page sized mbuf storage. 215cb69178dSAndre Oppermann Proper replacements for both zero-copy mechanisms are under 216cb69178dSAndre Oppermann consideration and will eventually lead to complete removal 217cb69178dSAndre Oppermann of the two kernel options. 218cb69178dSAndre Oppermann 219cb69178dSAndre Oppermann20121023: 2208f134647SGleb Smirnoff The IPv4 network stack has been converted to network byte 2218f134647SGleb Smirnoff order.

This concept enables forward 3122d9cf57eSMartin Matuska compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS 3132d9cf57eSMartin Matuska pools. The first read-only compatible "feature flag" for ZFS pools 3142d9cf57eSMartin Matuska is named "com.delphix:async_destroy". For more information 3152d9cf57eSMartin Matuska read the new zpool-features(5) manual page. 3162d9cf57eSMartin Matuska Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information 3172d9cf57eSMartin Matuska on upgrading boot ZFS pools. 3182d9cf57eSMartin Matuska 319d1675e38SJason Evans20120417: 320d1675e38SJason Evans The malloc(3) implementation embedded in libc now uses sources imported 321d1675e38SJason Evans as contrib/jemalloc. The most disruptive API change is to 322d1675e38SJason Evans /etc/malloc.conf. If your system has an old-style /etc/malloc.conf, 323d1675e38SJason Evans delete it prior to installworld, and optionally re-create it using the 324d1675e38SJason Evans new format after rebooting. See malloc.conf(5) for details 325d1675e38SJason Evans (specifically the TUNING section and the "opt.*" entries in the MALLCTL 326d1675e38SJason Evans NAMESPACE section). 327d1675e38SJason Evans 32884db023eSJuli Mallett20120328: 32984db023eSJuli Mallett Big-endian MIPS TARGET_ARCH values no longer end in "eb". mips64eb 33084db023eSJuli Mallett is now spelled mips64. mipsn32eb is now spelled mipsn32. mipseb is 33184db023eSJuli Mallett now spelled mips.

Previously 343c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub nullfs(5) did not pass through all behaviours to the underlying layer, 344c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub as a result if we bound to a socket on the lower layer we could connect 345c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub only to the lower path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect 346c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub only to the upper path.

It means that all legacy ATA drivers were 50597b53e36SAlexander Motin removed and replaced by respective CAM drivers. If you are using 50697b53e36SAlexander Motin ATA device names in /etc/fstab or other places, make sure to update 50797b53e36SAlexander Motin them respectively (adX -> adaY, acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY, 508ddfddf12SAlexander Motin where 'Y's are the sequential numbers starting from zero for each type 509ddfddf12SAlexander Motin in order of detection, unless configured otherwise with tunables, 5100d307e09SAlexander Motin see cam(4)).

As such, the original version of libdialog 6084c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn will be kept temporarily as libodialog, until its base system consumers 6094c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn are replaced or updated.

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900029. User space tools that 63039bc9de5SLawrence Stewart rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to 63139bc9de5SLawrence Stewart be recompiled. 63239bc9de5SLawrence Stewart 633efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl20101114: 634efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control support has been 635efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl added to mii(4) and bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along 636efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy() have been converted 637efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl to take advantage of it instead of using custom implementations. This 638efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl means that these drivers now no longer unconditionally advertise 639efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl support for flow control but only do so if flow control is a selected 640efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl media option. This was implemented in the generic support that way in 641efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl order to allow flow control to be switched on and off via ifconfig(8) 642efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with the PHY specific default to typically off in order to protect 643efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl from unwanted effects. Consequently, if you used flow control with 644efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl one of the above mentioned drivers you now need to explicitly enable 645efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl it, for example via: 646efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media auto mediaopt flowcontrol 647efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 648efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Along with the above mentioned changes generic support for setting 649efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 1000baseT master mode also has been added and brgphy(4), ciphy(4), 650efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy(4) have been converted to take 651efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl advantage of it. This means that these drivers now no longer take the 652efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl link0 parameter for selecting master mode but the master media option 653efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl has to be used instead, for example like in the following: 654efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master 655efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 656efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Selection of master mode now is also available with all other PHY 657efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl drivers supporting 1000baseT. 658efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 659dbc42409SLawrence Stewart20101111: 660dbc42409SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has received a significant update to add support for 661dbc42409SLawrence Stewart modularised congestion control and generally improve the clarity of 662dbc42409SLawrence Stewart congestion control decisions. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025. User 663dbc42409SLawrence Stewart space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. 664dbc42409SLawrence Stewart sockstat) need to be recompiled. 665dbc42409SLawrence Stewart 666fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow20101002: 667fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow The man(1) utility has been replaced by a new version that no longer 668fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow uses /etc/manpath.config.

A value 690d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato "ipv4_prefer", "ipv6_prefer" or "AUTO" can be specified. The 691d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato default is "AUTO". 692d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 693d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces specifies whether IFDISABLED 694d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato flag (see an entry of 20090926) is set on an interface with no 695d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line. The default is "NO" for 696d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato security reason. If you want IPv6 link-local address on all 697d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato interfaces by default, set this to "YES". 698d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 699d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The old ipv6_prefer="YES" is equivalent to 700d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" and 701d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer". 702d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 703d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato20100913: 704d69eb520SRui Paulo DTrace has grown support for userland tracing.

It is completely BSD licensed, highly GNU-compatible, uses 7204dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan less memory than its GNU counterpart and has a small codebase. 7214dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan However, it is slower than its GNU counterpart, which is mostly 7224dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan noticeable for larger searches, for smaller ones it is measurable 7234dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan but not significant. The reason is complex, the most important factor 7244dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan is that we lack a modern and efficient regex library and GNU 7254dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan overcomes this by optimizing the searches internally. Future work 7264dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan on improving the regex performance is planned, for the meantime, 7274dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan users that need better performance, can build GNU grep instead by 7284dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan setting the WITH_GNU_GREP knob. 7292965a453SKip Macy 7308fc25799SMartin Matuska20100713: 731c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn Due to the import of powerpc64 support, all existing powerpc kernel 732c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn configuration files must be updated with a machine directive like this: 733c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn machine powerpc powerpc 734c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 735c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn In addition, an updated config(8) is required to build powerpc kernels 736c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn after this change. 737c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 738c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn20100713: 7398fc25799SMartin Matuska A new version of ZFS (version 15) has been merged to -HEAD. 7408fc25799SMartin Matuska This version uses a python library for the following subcommands: 7418fc25799SMartin Matuska zfs allow, zfs unallow, zfs groupspace, zfs userspace. 7428fc25799SMartin Matuska For full functionality of these commands the following port must 7438fc25799SMartin Matuska be installed: sysutils/py-zfs 7448fc25799SMartin Matuska 7452965a453SKip Macy20100429: 7462965a453SKip Macy 'vm_page's are now hashed by physical address to an array of mutexes. 7472965a453SKip Macy Currently this is only used to serialize access to hold_count.

The changes are the following: 8432e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8442e77c5abSHiroki Sato 1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF 8452e77c5abSHiroki Sato for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used. 8462e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head. 8472e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8482e77c5abSHiroki Sato Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not 8492e77c5abSHiroki Sato understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases. 8502e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8512e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but 8522e77c5abSHiroki Sato they are obsolete. 8532e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8542e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and 8552e77c5abSHiroki Sato "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead. 8562e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8572e77c5abSHiroki Sato If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and 8582e77c5abSHiroki Sato all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the 8592e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility. 8602e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8612e77c5abSHiroki Sato 3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6 8622e77c5abSHiroki Sato functionality of interfaces with no corresponding 8632e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag, 8642e77c5abSHiroki Sato and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8) 8652e77c5abSHiroki Sato is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details). 8662e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the 8672e77c5abSHiroki Sato disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by 8682e77c5abSHiroki Sato using ifconfig(8) like: 8692e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8702e77c5abSHiroki Sato ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled 8712e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8722e77c5abSHiroki Sato If YES, the default address selection policy is set as 8732e77c5abSHiroki Sato IPv6-preferred. 8742e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8752e77c5abSHiroki Sato The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO. 8762e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8772e77c5abSHiroki Sato 4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages, 8782e77c5abSHiroki Sato define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6.

As long as no more than 16 groups per process are used, 968456b5dd8SWarner Losh no changes should be visible. When more than 16 groups are used, old 969456b5dd8SWarner Losh binaries may fail if they call getgroups() or getgrouplist() with 970456b5dd8SWarner Losh statically sized storage. Recompiling will work around this, but 971456b5dd8SWarner Losh applications should be modified to use dynamically allocated storage 972456b5dd8SWarner Losh for group arrays as POSIX.1-2008 does not cap an implementation's 973456b5dd8SWarner Losh number of supported groups at NGROUPS_MAX+1 as previous versions did. 974838d9858SBrooks Davis 975456b5dd8SWarner Losh NFS and portalfs mounts may also be affected as the list of groups is 976456b5dd8SWarner Losh truncated to 16. Users of NFS who use more than 16 groups, should 977456b5dd8SWarner Losh take care that negative group permissions are not used on the exported 978456b5dd8SWarner Losh file systems as they will not be reliable unless a GSSAPI based 979456b5dd8SWarner Losh authentication method is used. 980838d9858SBrooks Davis 981651175c9SAttilio Rao20090616: 982456b5dd8SWarner Losh The compiling option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS has been introduced. This 983456b5dd8SWarner Losh option compiles in the support for adaptive spinning for lockmgrs 984456b5dd8SWarner Losh which want to enable it.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 107133cde130SBruce M Simpson The implementation of SSM within FreeBSD's IPv6 stack closely 107233cde130SBruce M Simpson follows the IPv4 implementation. 107333cde130SBruce M Simpson 107433cde130SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers: 107533cde130SBruce M Simpson 107633cde130SBruce M Simpson * The most important changes are that the ip6_output() and 107733cde130SBruce M Simpson ip6_input() paths no longer take the IN6_MULTI_LOCK, 107833cde130SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 107933cde130SBruce M Simpson 108033cde130SBruce M Simpson * As with the changes to the IPv4 stack to support SSM, filtering 108133cde130SBruce M Simpson of inbound multicast traffic must now be performed by transport 108233cde130SBruce M Simpson protocols within the IPv6 stack. This does not apply to TCP and 108333cde130SBruce M Simpson SCTP, however, it does apply to UDP in IPv6 and raw IPv6. 108433cde130SBruce M Simpson 108533cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KPIs used by IPv6 multicast are similar to those used by 108633cde130SBruce M Simpson the IPv4 stack, with the following differences: 108733cde130SBruce M Simpson * im6o_mc_filter() is analogous to imo_multicast_filter(). 108833cde130SBruce M Simpson * The legacy KAME entry points in6_joingroup and in6_leavegroup() 108933cde130SBruce M Simpson are shimmed to in6_mc_join() and in6_mc_leave() respectively. 109033cde130SBruce M Simpson * IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI() has been deprecated and removed. 109133cde130SBruce M Simpson * IPv6 relies on MLD for the DAD mechanism. KAME's internal KPIs 109233cde130SBruce M Simpson for MLDv1 have an additional 'timer' argument which is used to 109333cde130SBruce M Simpson jitter the initial membership report for the solicited-node 109433cde130SBruce M Simpson multicast membership on-link. 109533cde130SBruce M Simpson * This is not strictly needed for MLDv2, which already jitters 109633cde130SBruce M Simpson its report transmissions. However, the 'timer' argument is 109733cde130SBruce M Simpson preserved in case MLDv1 is active on the interface. 109833cde130SBruce M Simpson 109933cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KAME linked-list based IPv6 membership implementation has 110033cde130SBruce M Simpson been refactored to use a vector similar to that used by the IPv4 110133cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 110233cde130SBruce M Simpson Code which maintains a list of its own multicast memberships 110333cde130SBruce M Simpson internally, e.g. carp, has been updated to reflect the new 110433cde130SBruce M Simpson semantics. 110533cde130SBruce M Simpson 110633cde130SBruce M Simpson * There is a known Lock Order Reversal (LOR) due to in6_setscope() 110733cde130SBruce M Simpson acquiring the IF_AFDATA_LOCK and being called within ip6_output(). 110833cde130SBruce M Simpson Whilst MLDv2 tries to avoid this otherwise benign LOR, it is an 110933cde130SBruce M Simpson implementation constraint which needs to be addressed in HEAD. 111033cde130SBruce M Simpson 111133cde130SBruce M Simpson For application developers: 111233cde130SBruce M Simpson 111333cde130SBruce M Simpson * The changes are broadly similar to those made for the IPv4 111433cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 111533cde130SBruce M Simpson 111633cde130SBruce M Simpson * The use of IPv4 and IPv6 multicast socket options on the same 111733cde130SBruce M Simpson socket, using mapped addresses, HAS NOT been tested or supported. 111833cde130SBruce M Simpson 111933cde130SBruce M Simpson * There are a number of issues with the implementation of various 112033cde130SBruce M Simpson IPv6 multicast APIs which need to be resolved in the API surface 112133cde130SBruce M Simpson before the implementation is fully compatible with KAME userland 112233cde130SBruce M Simpson use, and these are mostly to do with interface index treatment. 112333cde130SBruce M Simpson 112433cde130SBruce M Simpson * The literature available discusses the use of either the delta / ASM 112533cde130SBruce M Simpson API with setsockopt(2)/getsockopt(2), or the full-state / ASM API 112633cde130SBruce M Simpson using setsourcefilter(3)/getsourcefilter(3). For more information 112733cde130SBruce M Simpson please refer to RFC 3768, 'Socket Interface Extensions for 112833cde130SBruce M Simpson Multicast Source Filters'. 112933cde130SBruce M Simpson 113033cde130SBruce M Simpson * Applications which use the published RFC 3678 APIs should be fine. 113133cde130SBruce M Simpson 113233cde130SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators: 113333cde130SBruce M Simpson 113433cde130SBruce M Simpson * The mtest(8) utility has been refactored to support IPv6, in 113533cde130SBruce M Simpson addition to IPv4. Interface addresses are no longer accepted 113633cde130SBruce M Simpson as arguments, their names must be used instead.

It 12019a07b548SIvan Voras introduces some changes: 12029a07b548SIvan Voras 12039a07b548SIvan Voras MSDOS/EBR: the devices created from MSDOS extended partition entries 12049a07b548SIvan Voras (EBR) can be named differently than with GEOM_MBR and are now symlinks 12059a07b548SIvan Voras to devices with offset-based names. fstabs may need to be modified. 12069a07b548SIvan Voras 12079a07b548SIvan Voras BSD: the "geometry does not match label" warning is harmless in most 12089a07b548SIvan Voras cases but it points to problems in file system misalignment with 12099a07b548SIvan Voras disk geometry. The "c" partition is now implicit, covers the whole 12109a07b548SIvan Voras top-level drive and cannot be (mis)used by users. 12119a07b548SIvan Voras 12129a07b548SIvan Voras General: Kernel dumps are now not allowed to be written to devices 12139a07b548SIvan Voras whose partition types indicate they are meant to be used for file 12149a07b548SIvan Voras systems (or, in case of MSDOS partitions, as something else than 12159a07b548SIvan Voras the "386BSD" type). 12169a07b548SIvan Voras 12179a07b548SIvan Voras Most of these changes date approximately from 200812. 1218781d043cSIvan Voras 1219443fc317SBruce M Simpson20090319: 12202b78d306SAndrew Thompson The uscanner(4) driver has been removed from the kernel.

In particular, if_ar, if_sr, and network device 12351df14375SRobert Watson drivers from the old (legacy) USB stack can no longer be built or 12361df14375SRobert Watson used. 12371df14375SRobert Watson 1238e667034dSRui Paulo20090313: 12397e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan POSIX.1 Native Language Support (NLS) has been enabled in libc and 12407e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan a bunch of new language catalog files have also been added. 12417e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan This means that some common libc messages are now localized and 12427e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan they depend on the LC_MESSAGES environmental variable. 12437e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan 12447e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan20090313: 1245e667034dSRui Paulo The k8temp(4) driver has been renamed to amdtemp(4) since 12468fb1e038SDavid E.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 1251d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1252d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers, the most important changes are that the 1253d10910e6SBruce M Simpson ip_output() and ip_input() paths no longer take the IN_MULTI_LOCK(), 1254d10910e6SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 1255d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1256d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transport protocols (UDP, Raw IP) are now responsible for filtering 1257d10910e6SBruce M Simpson inbound multicast traffic according to group membership and source 1258d10910e6SBruce M Simpson filters. The imo_multicast_filter() KPI exists for this purpose. 1259d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transports which do not use multicast (SCTP, TCP) already reject 1260d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast by default. Forwarding and receive performance may improve 1261d10910e6SBruce M Simpson as a mutex acquisition is no longer needed in the ip_input() 1262d10910e6SBruce M Simpson low-level input path. in_addmulti() and in_delmulti() are shimmed 1263d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to new KPIs which exist to support SSM in-kernel. 1264d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1265d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For application developers, it is recommended that loopback of 1266d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast datagrams be disabled for best performance, as this 1267d10910e6SBruce M Simpson will still cause the lock to be taken for each looped-back 1268d10910e6SBruce M Simpson datagram transmission. The net.inet.ip.mcast.loop sysctl may 1269d10910e6SBruce M Simpson be tuned to 0 to disable loopback by default; it defaults to 1 1270d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. 1271d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1272d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators, to obtain best performance with 1273d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast reception and multiple groups, it is always recommended 1274d10910e6SBruce M Simpson that a card with a suitably precise hash filter is used. Hash 1275d10910e6SBruce M Simpson collisions will still result in the lock being taken within the 1276d10910e6SBruce M Simpson transport protocol input path to check group membership. 1277d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1278d10910e6SBruce M Simpson If deploying FreeBSD in an environment with IGMP snooping switches, 1279d10910e6SBruce M Simpson it is recommended that the net.inet.igmp.sendlocal sysctl remain 1280d10910e6SBruce M Simpson enabled; this forces 224.0.0.0/24 group membership to be announced 1281d10910e6SBruce M Simpson via IGMP. 1282d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1283d10910e6SBruce M Simpson The size of 'struct igmpstat' has changed; netstat needs to be 1284d10910e6SBruce M Simpson recompiled to reflect this. 1285d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800070. 1286d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1287d10910e6SBruce M Simpson20090309: 1288a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson libusb20.so.1 is now installed as libusb.so.1 and the ports system 1289a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson updated to use it.

With this 1483eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav upgrade, we've switched to the vendor's default of RSA over 1484eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav DSA. This may cause upgraded clients to warn about unknown 1485eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav host keys even for previously known hosts. Users should 1486eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav follow the usual procedure for verifying host keys before 1487eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav accepting the RSA key. 1488eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav 1489eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav This can be circumvented by setting the "HostKeyAlgorithms" 1490eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav option to "ssh-dss,ssh-rsa" in ~/.ssh/config or on the ssh 1491eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav command line. 1492eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav 1493737d990aSXin LI Please note that the sequence of keys offered for 1494737d990aSXin LI authentication has been changed as well.

This means uart(4) is now the 1501f4d811f0SEd Schouten default serial port driver on those platforms as well. 1502f4d811f0SEd Schouten 1503f4d811f0SEd Schouten To prevent collisions with the sio(4) driver, the uart(4) driver 1504f4d811f0SEd Schouten uses different names for its device nodes. This means the 1505f4d811f0SEd Schouten onboard serial port will now most likely be called "ttyu0" 1506f4d811f0SEd Schouten instead of "ttyd0". You may need to reconfigure applications to 1507f4d811f0SEd Schouten use the new device names. 1508f4d811f0SEd Schouten 1509db96ec0bSEd Schouten When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update 1510db96ec0bSEd Schouten /boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel. 1511db96ec0bSEd Schouten If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints 1512db96ec0bSEd Schouten at the loader prompt: 1513db96ec0bSEd Schouten 1514db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.at="isa" 1515db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" 1516db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" 1517db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.irq="4" 1518db96ec0bSEd Schouten boot -s 1519db96ec0bSEd Schouten 1520bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar20080609: 1521bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar The gpt(8) utility has been removed.

The underlying device 1544de570baaSSam Leffler is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are 1545de570baaSSam Leffler cloned with ifconfig. This requires changes to rc.conf files. 15465318f840SWarner Losh For example, change: 15475318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" 15485318f840SWarner Losh to 15495318f840SWarner Losh wlans_ath0=wlan0 15505318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" 15510f95e625SWarner Losh see rc.conf(5) for more details. In addition, mergemaster of 15520f95e625SWarner Losh /etc/rc.d is highly recommended. Simultaneous update of userland 15530f95e625SWarner Losh and kernel wouldn't hurt either. 1554de570baaSSam Leffler 1555de570baaSSam Leffler As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta 1556de570baaSSam Leffler modules were merged into the base wlan module.

The old fts(3) ABI is preserved 160848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy through symbol versioning in libc, so third-party binaries 160948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy using fts(3) should still work, although they will not take 161048aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy advantage of the extended types. At the same time, some 161148aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy third-party software might fail to build after this change 161248aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy due to unportable assumptions made in its source code about 161348aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy fts(3) structure members. Such software should be fixed 161448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy by its vendor or, in the worst case, in the ports tree. 161548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy FreeBSD_version 800015 marks this change for the unlikely 161648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy case that a portable fix is impossible. 161748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy 161851dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov20080123: 16198015f45cSWarner Losh To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running 162051dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov FreeBSD not older than 6.0-RELEASE.

In order to make the special symbols of the Sun 1630e393af84SMarius Strobl keyboards driven by sunkbd(4) work under X these now have 1631e393af84SMarius Strobl to be configured the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven 1632e393af84SMarius Strobl by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation), f.e.: 1633e393af84SMarius Strobl 1634e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbLayout" "us" 1635e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbRules" "xorg" 1636e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbSymbols" "pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+us" 1637e393af84SMarius Strobl 163833d3fffaSMarius Strobl20071024: 163933d3fffaSMarius Strobl It has been decided that it is desirable to provide ABI 164033d3fffaSMarius Strobl backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of the 164133d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was 164233d3fffaSMarius Strobl broken with the introduction of PCI domain support (see the 164333d3fffaSMarius Strobl 20070930 entry). Unfortunately, this required the ABI of 164433d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF to be broken again in order to be able to 164533d3fffaSMarius Strobl provide backwards compatibility to the old version of that 164633d3fffaSMarius Strobl IOCTL. Thus consumers of PCIOCGETCONF have to be recompiled 164733d3fffaSMarius Strobl again. As for prominent ports this affects neither pciutils 164833d3fffaSMarius Strobl nor xorg-server this time, the hal port needs to be rebuilt 164933d3fffaSMarius Strobl however. 165033d3fffaSMarius Strobl 16513d461febSJulian Elischer20071020: 16523d461febSJulian Elischer The misnamed kthread_create() and friends have been renamed 16533d461febSJulian Elischer to kproc_create() etc. Many of the callers already 16543d461febSJulian Elischer used kproc_start().. 16553d461febSJulian Elischer I will return kthread_create() and friends in a while 16563d461febSJulian Elischer with implementations that actually create threads, not procs. 16573d461febSJulian Elischer Renaming corresponds with version 800002. 16583d461febSJulian Elischer 1659c15e0967SKen Smith20071010: 1660c15e0967SKen Smith RELENG_7 branched. 1661c15e0967SKen Smith 1662dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshCOMMON ITEMS: 1663dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1664a24eff53SWarner Losh General Notes 1665a24eff53SWarner Losh ------------- 1666456b5dd8SWarner Losh Avoid using make -j when upgrading. While generally safe, there are 1667456b5dd8SWarner Losh sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with 16681733d35cSRuslan Ermilov -j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there 1669456b5dd8SWarner Losh have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This 1670456b5dd8SWarner Losh is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one 1671456b5dd8SWarner Losh that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when 1672456b5dd8SWarner Losh several months have passed on the -current branch). 1673a24eff53SWarner Losh 16745780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 16755780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 1676456b5dd8SWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. To run 1677456b5dd8SWarner Losh your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make 1678456b5dd8SWarner Losh commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details. 16795780f3baSWarner Losh 1680456b5dd8SWarner Losh When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best 1681456b5dd8SWarner Losh to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, 1682456b5dd8SWarner Losh then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade 1683456b5dd8SWarner Losh path, and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try 1684456b5dd8SWarner Losh this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade. 1685081ff8acSDoug Barton 16866eeab389SWarner Losh When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before 1687da0e842aSWarner Losh installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell 1688da0e842aSWarner Losh around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your 1689da0e842aSWarner Losh starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade. 1690da0e842aSWarner Losh 16918fc25799SMartin Matuska ZFS notes 16928fc25799SMartin Matuska --------- 16938fc25799SMartin Matuska When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow 16948fc25799SMartin Matuska these two steps: 16958fc25799SMartin Matuska 16968fc25799SMartin Matuska 1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block 16978fc25799SMartin Matuska (this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld") 16988fc25799SMartin Matuska 16998fc25799SMartin Matuska 2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive 17008fc25799SMartin Matuska 17018fc25799SMartin Matuska The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first 17028fc25799SMartin Matuska partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ad0: 17038fc25799SMartin Matuska "gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0" 17048fc25799SMartin Matuska 17058fc25799SMartin Matuska Non-boot pools do not need these updates. 17068fc25799SMartin Matuska 1707dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 1708dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 1709ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 17101cf0ef11SDavid E.

At this point in the life 1795fdb9f54dSWarner Losh cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own 1796fdb9f54dSWarner Losh to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of 1797fdb9f54dSWarner Losh the UPDATING entries. 1798ba26da8eSWarner Losh 17991dece4a9SWarner Losh Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to 18001dece4a9SWarner Losh freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update 18011dece4a9SWarner Losh your sources that you have read and understood all the recent 18021dece4a9SWarner Losh messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has 18031dece4a9SWarner Losh much fewer pitfalls. 18041dece4a9SWarner Losh 1805134d2e86SWarner Losh [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you 1806134d2e86SWarner Losh should disable them at this point so they don't crash your 1807134d2e86SWarner Losh system on reboot. 1808134d2e86SWarner Losh 1809ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do 1810ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh fsck -p 1811ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -u / 1812ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -a 18136586253aSWarner Losh cd src 181447d0d01fSWarner Losh adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time 1815f6a0ef01SWarner Losh Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that 1816f6a0ef01SWarner Losh you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. 1817ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh 1818a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step 1819a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 1820a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 1821a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 1822a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 182350e8eca6SDoug Barton for potential gotchas. The -U option is also useful to consider. 182450e8eca6SDoug Barton See mergemaster(8) for more information. 1825a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 1826835284beSWarner Losh [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time 1827835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 1828835284beSWarner Losh step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to 1829835284beSWarner Losh install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make 1830835284beSWarner Losh install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated 183120e0cc0aSBrooks Davis from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430. 1832835284beSWarner Losh 183394877c06SAlexander Leidinger [6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries 183494877c06SAlexander Leidinger can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make 183594877c06SAlexander Leidinger sure that no program is using those libraries anymore. 183694877c06SAlexander Leidinger 1837456b5dd8SWarner Losh [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to 1838456b5dd8SWarner Losh do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in 1839456b5dd8SWarner Losh your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is 1840456b5dd8SWarner Losh hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is 1841456b5dd8SWarner Losh required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. And so on 1842456b5dd8SWarner Losh for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7. 1843c74fe6afSWarner Losh 1844e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 1845e5dc5f61SWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. 1846e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 184721c075eaSWarner Losh [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have 1848e5dc5f61SWarner Losh cvs prune empty directories. 1849e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1850e5dc5f61SWarner Losh If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 1851e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 1852e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 1853e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1854e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 1855e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 1856e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 1857dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 1858dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1859f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 1860630f2154SGlen Barberbreakages in tracking -current.
