144f1def68SWarner LoshNOTE: FreeBSD has switched from gcc to clang. 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.

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".)

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.

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. The following modules need to be recompiled together
2228f134647SGleb Smirnoff	with kernel: carp(4), divert(4), gif(4), siftr(4), gre(4),
2238f134647SGleb Smirnoff	pf(4), ipfw(4), ng_ipfw(4), stf(4).
2248f134647SGleb Smirnoff
2258859ec84SKonstantin Belousov20121022:
2268859ec84SKonstantin Belousov	Support for non-MPSAFE filesystems was removed from VFS. The
2278859ec84SKonstantin Belousov	VFS_VERSION was bumped, all filesystem modules shall be
2288859ec84SKonstantin Belousov	recompiled.
2298859ec84SKonstantin Belousov
230e053ead0SAttilio Rao20121018:
231e053ead0SAttilio Rao	All the non-MPSAFE filesystems have been disconnected from
232e053ead0SAttilio Rao	the build. The full list includes: codafs, hpfs, ntfs, nwfs,
233e053ead0SAttilio Rao	portalfs, smbfs, xfs.
234e053ead0SAttilio Rao
23542a58907SGleb Smirnoff20121016:
23642a58907SGleb Smirnoff	The interface cloning API and ABI has changed. The following
23742a58907SGleb Smirnoff	modules need to be recompiled together with kernel:
23842a58907SGleb Smirnoff	ipfw(4), pfsync(4), pflog(4), usb(4), wlan(4), stf(4),
23942a58907SGleb Smirnoff	vlan(4), disc(4), edsc(4), if_bridge(4), gif(4), tap(4),
24042a58907SGleb Smirnoff	faith(4), epair(4), enc(4), tun(4), if_lagg(4), gre(4).
24142a58907SGleb Smirnoff
242d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko20121015:
243d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	The sdhci driver was split in two parts: sdhci (generic SD Host
244d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	Controller logic) and sdhci_pci (actual hardware driver).
245d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	No kernel config modifications are required, but if you
246d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	load sdhc as a module you must switch to sdhci_pci instead.
247d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko
2485fe58019SAttilio Rao20121014:
2495fe58019SAttilio Rao	Import the FUSE kernel and userland support into base system.
2505fe58019SAttilio Rao
251d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan20121013:
252d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan	The GNU sort(1) program has been removed since the BSD-licensed
253d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan	sort(1) has been the default for quite some time and no serious
254d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan	problems have been reported.  The corresponding WITH_GNU_SORT
25558b6d9a2SGabor Kovesdan	knob has also gone.
256d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan
25721d172a3SGleb Smirnoff20121006:
25821d172a3SGleb Smirnoff	The pfil(9) API/ABI for AF_INET family has been changed. Packet
25921d172a3SGleb Smirnoff	filtering modules: pf(4), ipfw(4), ipfilter(4) need to be recompiled
26021d172a3SGleb Smirnoff	with new kernel.
26121d172a3SGleb Smirnoff
2627b81c83cSAdrian Chadd20121001:
2637b81c83cSAdrian Chadd	The net80211(4) ABI has been changed to allow for improved driver
2647b81c83cSAdrian Chadd	PS-POLL and power-save support.  All wireless drivers need to be
2657b81c83cSAdrian Chadd	recompiled to work with the new kernel.
2667b81c83cSAdrian Chadd
267d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov20120913:
268d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
269d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
270d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
271d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	needed.  The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
272d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
273d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	configurations.
274d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov
275d6d3f01eSGleb Smirnoff20120908:
276d6d3f01eSGleb Smirnoff	The pf(4) packet filter ABI has been changed. pfctl(8) and
277d6d3f01eSGleb Smirnoff	snmp_pf module need to be recompiled to work with new kernel.
278d6d3f01eSGleb Smirnoff
2796e767defSMartin Matuska20120828:
2806e767defSMartin Matuska	A new ZFS feature flag "com.delphix:empty_bpobj" has been merged

286614e3098SMarius Strobl20120727:
287614e3098SMarius Strobl	The sparc64 ZFS loader has been changed to no longer try to auto-
288614e3098SMarius Strobl	detect ZFS providers based on diskN aliases but now requires these
289614e3098SMarius Strobl	to be explicitly listed in the OFW boot-device environment variable.

2921f13597dSJung-uk Kim	The OpenSSL has been upgraded to 1.0.1c.  Any binaries requiring
2931f13597dSJung-uk Kim	libcrypto.so.6 or libssl.so.6 must be recompiled.  Also, there are
2941f13597dSJung-uk Kim	configuration changes.  Make sure to merge /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.

302d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan20120628:
303d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	The sort utility has been replaced with BSD sort.  For now, GNU sort
304d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	is also available as "gnusort" or the default can be set back to
305d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	GNU sort by setting WITH_GNU_SORT.  In this case, BSD sort will be
306d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	installed as "bsdsort".

3082d9cf57eSMartin Matuska20120611:
3092d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged to -HEAD.
3102d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
3112d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	is superseded by "feature flags". 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.

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).

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.  This is to aid compatibility with third-party
33284db023eSJuli Mallett	software that expects this naming scheme in uname(3).  Little-endian
333474dbfb7SWarner Losh	settings are unchanged. If you are updating a big-endian mips64 machine
334474dbfb7SWarner Losh	from before this change, you may need to set MACHINE_ARCH=mips64 in
335474dbfb7SWarner Losh	your environment before the new build system will recognize your machine.

341c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub20120229:
342c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	Now unix domain sockets behave "as expected" on	nullfs(5). 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. The new behavior is one can connect to both the
347c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	lower and the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.

349ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb20120211:
350ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	The getifaddrs upgrade path broken with 20111215 has been restored.
351ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	If you have upgraded in between 20111215 and 20120209 you need to
352ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	recompile libc again with your kernel.  You still need to recompile
353ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	world to be able to configure CARP but this restriction already
354ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	comes from 20111215.

356e0e0f25bSDoug Barton20120114:
357e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	The set_rcvar() function has been removed from /etc/rc.subr.  All
358e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	base and ports rc.d scripts have been updated, so if you have a
359e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	port installed with a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d you can either
360e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	hand-edit the rcvar= line, or reinstall the port.
361e0e0f25bSDoug Barton
3625d482324SDoug Barton	An easy way to handle the mass-update of /etc/rc.d:

36590d82653SAndriy Gapon20120109:
36690d82653SAndriy Gapon	panic(9) now stops other CPUs in the SMP systems, disables interrupts
36790d82653SAndriy Gapon	on the current CPU and prevents other threads from running.
36890d82653SAndriy Gapon	This behavior can be reverted using the kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic
36990d82653SAndriy Gapon	tunable/sysctl.
37090d82653SAndriy Gapon	The new behavior can be incompatible with kern.sync_on_panic.

37208b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff20111215:
37308b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	The carp(4) facility has been changed significantly. Configuration
37408b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	of the CARP protocol via ifconfig(8) has changed, as well as format
37508b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	of CARP events submitted to devd(8) has changed. See manual pages
37608b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	for more information. The arpbalance feature of carp(4) is currently
37708b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	not supported anymore.
37808b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff
37908b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	Size of struct in_aliasreq, struct in6_aliasreq has changed. User
38008b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	utilities using SIOCAIFADDR, SIOCAIFADDR_IN6, e.g. ifconfig(8),
38108b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	need to be recompiled.

383d5d131eeSJaakko Heinonen20111122:
384d5d131eeSJaakko Heinonen	The acpi_wmi(4) status device /dev/wmistat has been renamed to
385d5d131eeSJaakko Heinonen	/dev/wmistat0.
386d5d131eeSJaakko Heinonen
387ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao20111108:
388ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao	The option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE option has been added in order to
389ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao	explicitely support non-MPSAFE filesystems.
390ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao	It is on by default for all supported platform at this present
391ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao	time.

393a9ab459bSMarius Strobl20111101:
394a9ab459bSMarius Strobl	The broken amd(4) driver has been replaced with esp(4) in the amd64,
395a9ab459bSMarius Strobl	i386 and pc98 GENERIC kernel configuration files.

4008a3b6cc1SKen Smith20110923:
4018a3b6cc1SKen Smith	The stable/9 branch created in subversion.  This corresponds to the
4028a3b6cc1SKen Smith	RELENG_9 branch in CVS.
4038a3b6cc1SKen Smith
4044d30adc4SRick Macklem20110913:
4054d30adc4SRick Macklem	This commit modifies vfs_register() so that it uses a hash
4064d30adc4SRick Macklem	calculation to set vfc_typenum, which is enabled by default.
4074d30adc4SRick Macklem	The first time a system is booted after this change, the
4084d30adc4SRick Macklem	vfc_typenum values will change for all file systems. The
4094d30adc4SRick Macklem	main effect of this is a change to the NFS server file handles
4104d30adc4SRick Macklem	for file systems that use vfc_typenum in their fsid, such as ZFS.
4114d30adc4SRick Macklem	It will, however, prevent vfc_typenum from changing when file
4124d30adc4SRick Macklem	systems are loaded in a different order for subsequent reboots.
4134d30adc4SRick Macklem	To disable this, you can set vfs.typenumhash=0 in /boot/loader.conf
4144d30adc4SRick Macklem	until you are ready to remount all NFS clients after a reboot.
4154d30adc4SRick Macklem
4167596eb48SKonstantin Belousov20110828:
4177596eb48SKonstantin Belousov	Bump the shared library version numbers for libraries that
4187596eb48SKonstantin Belousov	do not use symbol versioning, have changed the ABI compared
4197596eb48SKonstantin Belousov	to stable/8 and which shared library version was not bumped.
4207596eb48SKonstantin Belousov	Done as part of 9.0-RELEASE cycle.
4217596eb48SKonstantin Belousov
42274d0c46dSRobert Watson20110815:
42374d0c46dSRobert Watson	During the merge of Capsicum features, the fget(9) KPI was modified.
42474d0c46dSRobert Watson	This may require the rebuilding of out-of-tree device drivers --
42574d0c46dSRobert Watson	issues have been reported specifically with the nVidia device driver.
42674d0c46dSRobert Watson	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 900041.
42774d0c46dSRobert Watson
42874d0c46dSRobert Watson	Also, there is a period between 20110811 and 20110814 where the
42974d0c46dSRobert Watson	special devices /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} did not work correctly.
43074d0c46dSRobert Watson	Building world from a kernel during that window may not work.

432e0bfbfceSBjoern A. Zeeb20110628:
433e0bfbfceSBjoern A. Zeeb	The packet filter (pf) code has been updated to OpenBSD 4.5.
434e0bfbfceSBjoern A. Zeeb	You need to update userland tools to be in sync with kernel.
43570d57756SBjoern A. Zeeb	This update breaks backward compatibility with earlier pfsync(4)
43670d57756SBjoern A. Zeeb	versions.  Care must be taken when updating redundant firewall setups.
437e0bfbfceSBjoern A. Zeeb
438234dab4aSAndriy Gapon20110608:
439234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	The following sysctls and tunables are retired on x86 platforms:
440234dab4aSAndriy Gapon		machdep.hlt_cpus
441234dab4aSAndriy Gapon		machdep.hlt_logical_cpus
442234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	The following sysctl is retired:
443234dab4aSAndriy Gapon		machdep.hyperthreading_allowed
444234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	The sysctls were supposed to provide a way to dynamically offline and
445234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	online selected CPUs on x86 platforms, but the implementation has not
446234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	been reliable especially with SCHED_ULE scheduler.
447234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	machdep.hyperthreading_allowed tunable is still available to ignore
448234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	hyperthreading CPUs at OS level.
449234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	Individual CPUs can be disabled using hint.lapic.X.disabled tunable,
450234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	where X is an APIC ID of a CPU.  Be advised, though, that disabling
451234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	CPUs in non-uniform fashion will result in non-uniform topology and
452234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	may lead to sub-optimal system performance with SCHED_ULE, which is
453234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	a default scheduler.

455f0fcb367SAttilio Rao20110607:
456f0fcb367SAttilio Rao	cpumask_t type is retired and cpuset_t is used in order to describe

459ec49fe39SBjoern A. Zeeb20110531:
460ec49fe39SBjoern A. Zeeb	Changes to ifconfig(8) for dynamic address family detection mandate
461ec49fe39SBjoern A. Zeeb	that you are running a kernel of 20110525 or later.  Make sure to
462ec49fe39SBjoern A. Zeeb	follow the update procedure to boot a new kernel before installing
463ec49fe39SBjoern A. Zeeb	world.

4674b547324SAttilio Rao
4684a58ecccSMarius Strobl20110503:
4694a58ecccSMarius Strobl	Several KPI breaking changes have been committed to the mii(4) layer,
4704a58ecccSMarius Strobl	the PHY drivers and consequently some Ethernet drivers using mii(4).
4714a58ecccSMarius Strobl	This means that miibus.ko and the modules of the affected Ethernet
4724a58ecccSMarius Strobl	drivers need to be recompiled.
4734a58ecccSMarius Strobl
4744a58ecccSMarius Strobl	Note to kernel developers: Given that the OUI bit reversion problem
4754a58ecccSMarius Strobl	was fixed as part of these changes all mii(4) commits related to OUIs,
4764a58ecccSMarius Strobl	i.e. to sys/dev/mii/miidevs, PHY driver probing and vendor specific
4774a58ecccSMarius Strobl	handling, no longer can be merged verbatim to stable/8 and previous
4784a58ecccSMarius Strobl	branches.
4794a58ecccSMarius Strobl
480f9dfbfa1SAdrian Chadd20110430:
481f9dfbfa1SAdrian Chadd	Users of the Atheros AR71xx SoC code now need to add 'device ar71xx_pci'
482f9dfbfa1SAdrian Chadd	into their kernel configurations along with 'device pci'.
483f9dfbfa1SAdrian Chadd
4844309e17aSRick Macklem20110427:
4854309e17aSRick Macklem	The default NFS client is now the new NFS client, so fstype "newnfs"
4864309e17aSRick Macklem	is now "nfs" and the regular/old NFS client is now fstype "oldnfs".
4874309e17aSRick Macklem	Although mounts via fstype "nfs" will usually work without userland
4884309e17aSRick Macklem	changes, it is recommended that the mount(8) and mount_nfs(8)
4894309e17aSRick Macklem	commands be rebuilt from sources and that a link to mount_nfs called
4904309e17aSRick Macklem	mount_oldnfs be created. The new client is compiled into the
4914309e17aSRick Macklem	kernel with "options NFSCL" and this is needed for diskless root
4924309e17aSRick Macklem	file systems. The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use
4934309e17aSRick Macklem	NFSCL and NFSD (the new server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER.
4944309e17aSRick Macklem	To use the regular/old client, you can "mount -t oldnfs ...". For
4954309e17aSRick Macklem	a diskless root file system, you must also include a line like:
4964309e17aSRick Macklem
4974309e17aSRick Macklem	vfs.root.mountfrom="oldnfs:"
4984309e17aSRick Macklem
4994309e17aSRick Macklem	in the boot/loader.conf on the root fs on the NFS server to make
5004309e17aSRick Macklem	a diskless root fs use the old client.
5014309e17aSRick Macklem
50297b53e36SAlexander Motin20110424:
50397b53e36SAlexander Motin	The GENERIC kernels for all architectures now default to the new
50497b53e36SAlexander Motin	CAM-based ATA stack. 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)). There will be symbolic links created in /dev/ to map
5110d307e09SAlexander Motin	old adX devices to the respective adaY. They should provide basic
5120d307e09SAlexander Motin	compatibility for file systems mounting in most cases, but they do
5130d307e09SAlexander Motin	not support old user-level APIs and do not have respective providers
5140d307e09SAlexander Motin	in GEOM. Consider using updated management tools with new device names.
5150d307e09SAlexander Motin
5160d307e09SAlexander Motin	It is possible to load devices ahci, ata, siis and mvs as modules,
5170d307e09SAlexander Motin	but option ATA_CAM should remain in kernel configuration to make ata
5180d307e09SAlexander Motin	module work as CAM driver supporting legacy ATA controllers. Device ata
5190d307e09SAlexander Motin	still can be used in modular fashion (atacore + ...). Modules atadisk
5200d307e09SAlexander Motin	and atapi* are not used and won't affect operation in ATA_CAM mode.
5215d4ac622SAlexander Motin	Note that to use CAM-based ATA kernel should include CAM devices
5225d4ac622SAlexander Motin	scbus, pass, da (or explicitly ada), cd and optionally others. All of
5235d4ac622SAlexander Motin	them are parts of the cam module.
52497b53e36SAlexander Motin
52597b53e36SAlexander Motin	ataraid(4) functionality is now supported by the RAID GEOM class.
52697b53e36SAlexander Motin	To use it you can load geom_raid kernel module and use graid(8) tool
52797b53e36SAlexander Motin	for management. Instead of /dev/arX device names, use /dev/raid/rX.
52897b53e36SAlexander Motin
52997b53e36SAlexander Motin	No kernel config options or code have been removed, so if a problem
53097b53e36SAlexander Motin	arises, please report it and optionally revert to the old ATA stack.
53197b53e36SAlexander Motin	In order to do it you can remove from the kernel config:
53297b53e36SAlexander Motin	    options        ATA_CAM
53397b53e36SAlexander Motin	    device         ahci
53497b53e36SAlexander Motin	    device         mvs
53597b53e36SAlexander Motin	    device         siis
53697b53e36SAlexander Motin	, and instead add back:
53797b53e36SAlexander Motin	    device         atadisk         # ATA disk drives
53897b53e36SAlexander Motin	    device         ataraid         # ATA RAID drives
53997b53e36SAlexander Motin	    device         atapicd         # ATAPI CDROM drives
54097b53e36SAlexander Motin	    device         atapifd         # ATAPI floppy drives

5432a85df8cSRick Macklem20110423:
5442a85df8cSRick Macklem	The default NFS server has been changed to the new server, which
5452a85df8cSRick Macklem	was referred to as the experimental server. If you need to switch
5462a85df8cSRick Macklem	back to the old NFS server, you must now put the "-o" option on
5472a85df8cSRick Macklem	both the mountd and nfsd commands. This can be done using the
5482a85df8cSRick Macklem	mountd_flags and nfs_server_flags rc.conf variables until an

55266f3a31fSDimitry Andric	The GNU Objective-C runtime library (libobjc), and other Objective-C
55366f3a31fSDimitry Andric	related components have been removed from the base system.  If you
55466f3a31fSDimitry Andric	require an Objective-C library, please use one of the available ports.

5561c62cc63SAdrian Chadd20110331:
5571c62cc63SAdrian Chadd	ath(4) has been split into bus- and device- modules. if_ath contains
5581c62cc63SAdrian Chadd	the HAL, the TX rate control and the network device code. if_ath_pci
5591c62cc63SAdrian Chadd	contains the PCI bus glue. For Atheros MIPS embedded systems, if_ath_ahb
5601c62cc63SAdrian Chadd	contains the AHB glue. Users need to load both if_ath_pci and if_ath
5611c62cc63SAdrian Chadd	in order to use ath on everything else.
5621c62cc63SAdrian Chadd
5631c62cc63SAdrian Chadd	TO REPEAT: if_ath_ahb is not needed for normal users. Normal users only
5641c62cc63SAdrian Chadd	need to load if_ath and if_ath_pci for ath(4) operation.

5670a4b5285SNathan Whitehorn	As part of the replacement of sysinstall, the process of building
5680a4b5285SNathan Whitehorn	release media has changed significantly. For details, please re-read
5690a4b5285SNathan Whitehorn	release(7), which has been updated to reflect the new build process.

572ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	GNU binutils 2.17.50 (as of 2007-07-03) has been merged to -HEAD.  This
573ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	is the last available version under GPLv2.  It brings a number of new
574ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	features, such as support for newer x86 CPU's (with SSE-3, SSSE-3, SSE
575ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	4.1 and SSE 4.2), better support for powerpc64, a number of new
576ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	directives, and lots of other small improvements.  See the ChangeLog
577ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	file in contrib/binutils for the full details.

579ce8fb931SDimitry Andric20110218:
58076f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	IPsec's HMAC_SHA256-512 support has been fixed to be RFC4868
58176f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	compliant, and will now use half of hash for authentication.
58276f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	This will break interoperability with all stacks (including all
58376f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	actual FreeBSD versions) who implement
58476f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	draft-ietf-ipsec-ciph-sha-256-00 (they use 96 bits of hash for
58576f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	authentication).
58676f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	The only workaround with such peers is to use another HMAC
58776f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	algorithm for IPsec ("phase 2") authentication.

58913434232SMatthew D Fleming20110207:
59013434232SMatthew D Fleming	Remove the uio_yield prototype and symbol.  This function has
59113434232SMatthew D Fleming	been misnamed since it was introduced and should not be
59213434232SMatthew D Fleming	globally exposed with this name.  The equivalent functionality
59313434232SMatthew D Fleming	is now available using kern_yield(curthread->td_user_pri).
59413434232SMatthew D Fleming	The function remains undocumented.

5964c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn20110112:
5971eae8811SMatthew D Fleming	A SYSCTL_[ADD_]UQUAD was added for unsigned uint64_t pointers,
5981eae8811SMatthew D Fleming	symmetric with the existing SYSCTL_[ADD_]QUAD.  Type checking
5991eae8811SMatthew D Fleming	for scalar sysctls is defined but disabled.  Code that needs
6001eae8811SMatthew D Fleming	UQUAD to pass the type checking that must compile on older
6011eae8811SMatthew D Fleming	systems where the define is not present can check against
6021eae8811SMatthew D Fleming	__FreeBSD_version >= 900030.
6031eae8811SMatthew D Fleming
6044c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn	The system dialog(1) has been replaced with a new version previously
6054c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn	in ports as devel/cdialog. dialog(1) is mostly command-line compatible
6064c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn	with the previous version, but the libdialog associated with it has
6074c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn	a largely incompatible API. 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 900030.

611e4f64803SWarner Losh20110103:
612e4f64803SWarner Losh	If you are trying to run make universe on a -stable system, and you get
613e4f64803SWarner Losh	the following warning:
6147b57aa33SRebecca Cran	"Makefile", line 356: "Target architecture for i386/conf/GENERIC
6157b57aa33SRebecca Cran	unknown.  config(8) likely too old."
616e4f64803SWarner Losh	or something similar to it, then you must upgrade your -stable system
617e4f64803SWarner Losh	to 8.2-Release or newer (really, any time after r210146 7/15/2010 in
618e4f64803SWarner Losh	stable/8) or build the config from the latest stable/8 branch and
619e4f64803SWarner Losh	install it on your system.
620e4f64803SWarner Losh
621e4f64803SWarner Losh	Prior to this date, building a current universe on 8-stable system from
622e4f64803SWarner Losh	between 7/15/2010 and 1/2/2011 would result in a weird shell parsing
6237b57aa33SRebecca Cran	error in the first kernel build phase.  A new config on those old
6247b57aa33SRebecca Cran	systems will fix that problem for older versions of -current.

62639bc9de5SLawrence Stewart20101228:
62739bc9de5SLawrence Stewart	The TCP stack has been modified to allow Khelp modules to interact with
62839bc9de5SLawrence Stewart	it via helper hook points and store per-connection data in the TCP
62939bc9de5SLawrence Stewart	control block. 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.

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.

666fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow20101002:
667fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow	The man(1) utility has been replaced by a new version that no longer
668fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow	uses /etc/manpath.config. Please consult man.conf(5) for how to
669fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow	migrate local entries to the new format.

676f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon20100915:
677f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon	A workaround for a fixed ld bug has been removed in kernel code,
678f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon	so make sure that your system ld is built from sources after
679130a0815SAndriy Gapon	revision 210245 from 2010-07-19 (r211583 if building head kernel
680130a0815SAndriy Gapon	on stable/8, r211584 for stable/7; both from 2010-08-21).
681130a0815SAndriy Gapon	A symptom of incorrect ld version is different addresses for
682130a0815SAndriy Gapon	set_pcpu section and __start_set_pcpu symbol in kernel and/or modules.
683f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon
684d69eb520SRui Paulo20100913:
685d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	The $ipv6_prefer variable in rc.conf(5) has been split into
686d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	$ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
687d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato
688d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined
689d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	address selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8).  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".

704d69eb520SRui Paulo	DTrace has grown support for userland tracing. Due to this, DTrace is
705d69eb520SRui Paulo	now i386 and amd64 only.
706d69eb520SRui Paulo	dtruss(1) is now installed by default on those systems and a new
707d69eb520SRui Paulo	kernel module is needed for userland tracing: fasttrap.
708d69eb520SRui Paulo	No changes to your kernel config file are necessary to enable
709d69eb520SRui Paulo	userland tracing, but you might consider adding 'STRIP=' and
710d69eb520SRui Paulo	'CFLAGS+=-fno-omit-frame-pointer' to your make.conf if you want
711d69eb520SRui Paulo	to have informative userland stack traces in DTrace (ustack).

71340650455SRui Paulo20100725:
71440650455SRui Paulo	The acpi_aiboost(4) driver has been removed in favor of the new

7174dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan20100722:
7184dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	BSD grep has been imported to the base system and it is built by
7194dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	default.  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.

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.

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

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. Over
7482965a453SKip Macy	time the page queue mutex will be peeled away. This changes the size
7492965a453SKip Macy	of pmap on every architecture. And requires all callers of vm_page_hold
7502965a453SKip Macy	and vm_page_unhold to be updated.

75221edb039SAlexander Leidinger20100402:
75321edb039SAlexander Leidinger	WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there
75421edb039SAlexander Leidinger	are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also
75521edb039SAlexander Leidinger	affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the
75621edb039SAlexander Leidinger	compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions
75721edb039SAlexander Leidinger	WITH_CTF=yes").
75821edb039SAlexander Leidinger	When WITH_CTF was specified there before this was silently ignored,
75921edb039SAlexander Leidinger	so make sure that WITH_CTF is not used in places which could lead
76021edb039SAlexander Leidinger	to unwanted behavior.

762841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn20100311:
763841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn	The kernel option COMPAT_IA32 has been replaced with COMPAT_FREEBSD32
764841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn	to allow 32-bit compatibility on non-x86 platforms. All kernel
765841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn	configurations on amd64 and ia64 platforms using these options must
766841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn	be modified accordingly.

768279d8efeSEd Schouten20100113:
769279d8efeSEd Schouten	The utmp user accounting database has been replaced with utmpx,
770279d8efeSEd Schouten	the user accounting interface standardized by POSIX.
771279d8efeSEd Schouten	Unfortunately the semantics of utmp and utmpx don't match,
772279d8efeSEd Schouten	making it practically impossible to support both interfaces.
773279d8efeSEd Schouten	The user accounting database is used by tools like finger(1),
774279d8efeSEd Schouten	last(1), talk(1), w(1) and ac(8).
775279d8efeSEd Schouten
776279d8efeSEd Schouten	All applications in the base system use utmpx.  This means only
777279d8efeSEd Schouten	local binaries (e.g. from the ports tree) may still use these
778279d8efeSEd Schouten	utmp database files.  These applications must be rebuilt to make
779279d8efeSEd Schouten	use of utmpx.
780279d8efeSEd Schouten
781279d8efeSEd Schouten	After the system has been upgraded, it is safe to remove the old
782279d8efeSEd Schouten	log files (/var/run/utmp, /var/log/lastlog and /var/log/wtmp*),
7835ab7f1fcSEd Schouten	assuming their contents is of no importance anymore.  Old wtmp
7845ab7f1fcSEd Schouten	databases can only be used by last(1) and ac(8) after they have

794f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO	rc.firewall6 and rc.d/ip6fw were removed.
795f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO	According to the removal of rc.d/ip6fw, ipv6_firewall_* rc
796f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO	variables are obsoleted.  Instead, the following new rc

809e42fc368SEd Schouten	The default terminal emulation for syscons(4) has been changed
8104b2361f8SEd Schouten	from cons25 to xterm on all platforms except pc98.  This means
8114b2361f8SEd Schouten	that the /etc/ttys file needs to be updated to ensure correct
8124b2361f8SEd Schouten	operation of applications on the console.
813e42fc368SEd Schouten
814e42fc368SEd Schouten	The terminal emulation style can be toggled per window by using
8154b2361f8SEd Schouten	vidcontrol(1)'s -T flag.  The TEKEN_CONS25 kernel configuration
8164b2361f8SEd Schouten	options can be used to change the compile-time default back to

82507ddebb5SRui Paulo	Applications that require wireless scan results (e.g. ifconfig(8))
82607ddebb5SRui Paulo	from net80211 need to be recompiled.
82707ddebb5SRui Paulo
82896b4300cSDoug Barton	Applications such as wpa_supplicant(8) may require a full world
82996b4300cSDoug Barton	build without using NO_CLEAN in order to get synchronized with the
83096b4300cSDoug Barton	new structure.

83263b49c2bSRui Paulo20091025:
83363b49c2bSRui Paulo	The iwn(4) driver has been updated to support the 5000 and 5150 series.
83463b49c2bSRui Paulo	There's one kernel module for each firmware. Adding "device iwnfw"
83563b49c2bSRui Paulo	to the kernel configuration file means including all three firmware
83663b49c2bSRui Paulo	images inside the kernel. If you want to include just the one for
83736daf049SEitan Adler	your wireless card, use the devices iwn4965fw, iwn5000fw or
83863b49c2bSRui Paulo	iwn5150fw.
83963b49c2bSRui Paulo
8402e77c5abSHiroki Sato20090926:
8412e77c5abSHiroki Sato	The rc.d/network_ipv6, IPv6 configuration script has been integrated
8422e77c5abSHiroki Sato	into rc.d/netif.  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.  The rc(8)
8792e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes
8802e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   UP.  The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC
8812e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   (State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).
8822e77c5abSHiroki Sato
883350036a0SRui Paulo20090922:
884350036a0SRui Paulo	802.11s D3.03 support was committed. This is incompatible with the
885350036a0SRui Paulo	previous code, which was based on D3.0.
886350036a0SRui Paulo
8872e77c5abSHiroki Sato20090912:
8882e77c5abSHiroki Sato	A sysctl variable net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv now sets the default value
8892e77c5abSHiroki Sato	of a per-interface flag ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV, not a global knob to
8902e77c5abSHiroki Sato	control whether accepting Router Advertisement messages or not.
8912e77c5abSHiroki Sato	Also, a per-interface flag ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL has been added and
8922e77c5abSHiroki Sato	a sysctl variable net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal is its default value.
8932e77c5abSHiroki Sato	The ifconfig(8) utility now supports these flags.
8942e77c5abSHiroki Sato
89563e1d3dfSPawel Jakub Dawidek20090910:
89663e1d3dfSPawel Jakub Dawidek	ZFS snapshots are now mounted with MNT_IGNORE flag. Use -v option for
89763e1d3dfSPawel Jakub Dawidek	mount(8) and -a option for df(1) to see them.
89863e1d3dfSPawel Jakub Dawidek
899411c7658SWarner Losh20090825:
900411c7658SWarner Losh	The old tunable hw.bus.devctl_disable has been superseded by
901411c7658SWarner Losh	hw.bus.devctl_queue.  hw.bus.devctl_disable=1 in loader.conf should be
902411c7658SWarner Losh	replaced by hw.bus.devctl_queue=0.  The default for this new tunable
903411c7658SWarner Losh	is 1000.
904411c7658SWarner Losh
905dc6fbf65SAttilio Rao20090813:
906456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Remove the option STOP_NMI.  The default action is now to use NMI only
907456b5dd8SWarner Losh	for KDB via the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and
908456b5dd8SWarner Losh	maintain stop_cpus() to just use a normal IPI_STOP on ia32 and amd64.
909456b5dd8SWarner Losh
910456b5dd8SWarner Losh20090803:
911f6a4f4b5SWarner Losh	The stable/8 branch created in subversion.  This corresponds to the
912f6a4f4b5SWarner Losh	RELENG_8 branch in CVS.
913dc6fbf65SAttilio Rao
9143ca3047aSKen Smith20090719:
915456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Bump the shared library version numbers for all libraries that do not
916456b5dd8SWarner Losh	use symbol versioning as part of the 8.0-RELEASE cycle.  Bump
917456b5dd8SWarner Losh	__FreeBSD_version to 800105.
9183ca3047aSKen Smith
919eddfbb76SRobert Watson20090714:
920456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Due to changes in the implementation of virtual network stack support,
921456b5dd8SWarner Losh	all network-related kernel modules must be recompiled.  As this change
922456b5dd8SWarner Losh	breaks the ABI, bump __FreeBSD_version to 800104.
923eddfbb76SRobert Watson
924237fbe0aSLawrence Stewart20090713:
925456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The TOE interface to the TCP syncache has been modified to remove
926456b5dd8SWarner Losh	struct tcpopt (<netinet/tcp_var.h>) from the ABI of the network stack.
927456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The cxgb driver is the only TOE consumer affected by this change, and
928456b5dd8SWarner Losh	needs to be recompiled along with the kernel. As this change breaks
929456b5dd8SWarner Losh	the ABI, bump __FreeBSD_version to 800103.
930237fbe0aSLawrence Stewart
931962ebef8SLawrence Stewart20090712:
932962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	Padding has been added to struct tcpcb, sackhint and tcpstat in
933962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	<netinet/tcp_var.h> to facilitate future MFCs and bug fixes whilst
9341733d35cSRuslan Ermilov	maintaining the ABI. However, this change breaks the ABI, so bump
935962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	__FreeBSD_version to 800102. User space tools that rely on the size of
936962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	any of these structs (e.g. sockstat) need to be recompiled.
937962ebef8SLawrence Stewart
938bab42aadSDoug Rabson20090630:
939456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The NFS_LEGACYRPC option has been removed along with the old kernel
940456b5dd8SWarner Losh	RPC implementation that this option selected. Kernel configurations
941456b5dd8SWarner Losh	may need to be adjusted.
942bab42aadSDoug Rabson
9436cb7f168SBrooks Davis20090629:
944456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The network interface device nodes at /dev/net/<interface> have been
945456b5dd8SWarner Losh	removed.  All ioctl operations can be performed the normal way using
946456b5dd8SWarner Losh	routing sockets.  The kqueue functionality can generally be replaced
947456b5dd8SWarner Losh	with routing sockets.
9486cb7f168SBrooks Davis
949944bc81dSMarc Fonvieille20090628:
950456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The documentation from the FreeBSD Documentation Project (Handbook,
951456b5dd8SWarner Losh	FAQ, etc.) is now installed via packages by sysinstall(8) and under
952456b5dd8SWarner Losh	the /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd directory instead of /usr/share/doc.
953944bc81dSMarc Fonvieille
954f5e4c105SJohn Baldwin20090624:
955456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The ABI of various structures related to the SYSV IPC API have been
956456b5dd8SWarner Losh	changed.  As a result, the COMPAT_FREEBSD[456] and COMPAT_43 kernel
957456b5dd8SWarner Losh	options now all require COMPAT_FREEBSD7.  Bump __FreeBSD_version to
958456b5dd8SWarner Losh	800100.
959f5e4c105SJohn Baldwin
960b58ea5f3SBjoern A. Zeeb20090622:
961456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Layout of struct vnet has changed as routing related variables were
962456b5dd8SWarner Losh	moved to their own Vimage module. Modules need to be recompiled.  Bump
963456b5dd8SWarner Losh	__FreeBSD_version to 800099.
964b58ea5f3SBjoern A. Zeeb
965838d9858SBrooks Davis20090619:
966456b5dd8SWarner Losh	NGROUPS_MAX and NGROUPS have been increased from 16 to 1023 and 1024
967456b5dd8SWarner Losh	respectively.  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.  The lockinit() function now accepts the flag
985456b5dd8SWarner Losh	LK_ADAPTIVE in order to make the lock object subject to adaptive
986456b5dd8SWarner Losh	spinning when both held in write and read mode.
987651175c9SAttilio Rao
9882c727cb9SSam Leffler20090613:
989456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The layout of the structure returned by IEEE80211_IOC_STA_INFO has
990456b5dd8SWarner Losh	changed.  User applications that use this ioctl need to be rebuilt.
9912c727cb9SSam Leffler
992f089869fSMarko Zec20090611:
993456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The layout of struct thread has changed.  Kernel and modules need to
994456b5dd8SWarner Losh	be rebuilt.
995f089869fSMarko Zec
996bc29160dSMarko Zec20090608:
997456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The layout of structs ifnet, domain, protosw and vnet_net has changed.
998456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Kernel modules need to be rebuilt.  Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800097.
999bc29160dSMarko Zec
100089f98d57SEd Schouten20090602:
100189f98d57SEd Schouten	window(1) has been removed from the base system. It can now be
100289f98d57SEd Schouten	installed from ports. The port is called misc/window.
100389f98d57SEd Schouten
1004c2c2a7c1SBjoern A. Zeeb20090601:
1005456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The way we are storing and accessing `routing table' entries has
1006456b5dd8SWarner Losh	changed. Programs reading the FIB, like netstat, need to be
1007456b5dd8SWarner Losh	re-compiled.
1008c2c2a7c1SBjoern A. Zeeb
1009529cb8e3SRobert Watson20090601:
1010529cb8e3SRobert Watson	A new netisr implementation has been added for FreeBSD 8.  Network
1011529cb8e3SRobert Watson	file system modules, such as igmp, ipdivert, and others, should be
1012529cb8e3SRobert Watson	rebuilt.
1013529cb8e3SRobert Watson	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800096.
1014529cb8e3SRobert Watson
10152a61ba47SEdward Tomasz Napierala20090530:
1016456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Remove the tunable/sysctl debug.mpsafevfs as its initial purpose is no
1017456b5dd8SWarner Losh	more valid.
1018faef64ccSAttilio Rao
1019faef64ccSAttilio Rao20090530:
10202a61ba47SEdward Tomasz Napierala	Add VOP_ACCESSX(9).  File system modules need to be rebuilt.
10212a61ba47SEdward Tomasz Napierala	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800094.
10222a61ba47SEdward Tomasz Napierala
1023b89fed67SEdward Tomasz Napierala20090529:
1024456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Add mnt_xflag field to 'struct mount'.  File system modules need to be
1025456b5dd8SWarner Losh	rebuilt.
1026b89fed67SEdward Tomasz Napierala	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800093.
1027b89fed67SEdward Tomasz Napierala
10281ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao20090528:
10291ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao	The compiling option ADAPTIVE_SX has been retired while it has been
10301ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao	introduced the option NO_ADAPTIVE_SX which handles the reversed logic.
10311ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao	The KPI for sx_init_flags() changes as accepting flags:
1032456b5dd8SWarner Losh	SX_ADAPTIVESPIN flag has been retired while the SX_NOADAPTIVE flag has
1033456b5dd8SWarner Losh	been introduced in order to handle the reversed logic.
10341ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800092.
10351ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao
10360304c731SJamie Gritton20090527:
10370304c731SJamie Gritton	Add support for hierarchical jails.  Remove global securelevel.
10380304c731SJamie Gritton	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800091.
10390304c731SJamie Gritton
1040dfc79e89SEdwin Groothuis20090523:
104137f17770SMarko Zec	The layout of struct vnet_net has changed, therefore modules
104237f17770SMarko Zec	need to be rebuilt.
104337f17770SMarko Zec	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800090.
104437f17770SMarko Zec
104537f17770SMarko Zec20090523:
1046456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The newly imported zic(8) produces a new format in the output. Please

104923790ac0SSam Leffler20090520:
10509360ae40SAndrew Thompson	The sysctl tree for the usb stack has renamed from hw.usb2.* to
10519360ae40SAndrew Thompson	hw.usb.* and is now consistent again with previous releases.
10529360ae40SAndrew Thompson
10539360ae40SAndrew Thompson20090520:
1054456b5dd8SWarner Losh	802.11 monitor mode support was revised and driver api's were changed.
1055456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Drivers dependent on net80211 now support DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO instead
1056456b5dd8SWarner Losh	of DLT_IEEE802_11.  No user-visible data structures were changed but
1057456b5dd8SWarner Losh	applications that use DLT_IEEE802_11 may require changes.
105823790ac0SSam Leffler	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800088.
105923790ac0SSam Leffler
1060f6dfe47aSMarko Zec20090430:
1061f6dfe47aSMarko Zec	The layout of the following structs has changed: sysctl_oid,
1062f6dfe47aSMarko Zec	socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb, syncache_head, vnet_inet,
1063f6dfe47aSMarko Zec	vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw.  Most modules need to be rebuild or
1064f6dfe47aSMarko Zec	panics may be experienced.  World rebuild is required for
1065f6dfe47aSMarko Zec	correctly checking networking state from userland.
1066f6dfe47aSMarko Zec	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800085.
1067f6dfe47aSMarko Zec
106833cde130SBruce M Simpson20090429:
106933cde130SBruce M Simpson	MLDv2 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged
107033cde130SBruce M Simpson	to the IPv6 stack. 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. The utility
113733cde130SBruce M Simpson	  will map the interface name to its first IPv4 address as
113833cde130SBruce M Simpson	  returned by getifaddrs(3).
113933cde130SBruce M Simpson
114033cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The ifmcstat(8) utility has also been updated to print the MLDv2
114133cde130SBruce M Simpson	  endpoint state and source filter lists via sysctl(3).
114233cde130SBruce M Simpson
114333cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The net.inet6.ip6.mcast.loop sysctl may be tuned to 0 to disable
114433cde130SBruce M Simpson	  loopback of IPv6 multicast datagrams by default; it defaults to 1
114533cde130SBruce M Simpson	  to preserve the existing behaviour. Disabling multicast loopback is
114633cde130SBruce M Simpson	  recommended for optimal system performance.
114733cde130SBruce M Simpson
114833cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The IPv6 MROUTING code has been changed to examine this sysctl
114933cde130SBruce M Simpson	  instead of attempting to perform a group lookup before looping
115033cde130SBruce M Simpson	  back forwarded datagrams.
115133cde130SBruce M Simpson

11598b8bf775SRobert Watson	The layout of struct malloc_type, used by modules to register new

118487437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	Do not use Giant for kbdmux(4) locking. This is wrong and
118587437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	apparently causing more problems than it solves. This will
118687437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	re-open the issue where interrupt handlers may race with
118787437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	kbdmux(4) in polling mode. Typical symptoms include (but
118887437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	not limited to) duplicated and/or missing characters when
118987437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	low level console functions (such as gets) are used while
119087437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	interrupts are enabled (for example geli password prompt,
119187437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	mountroot prompt etc.). Disabling kbdmux(4) may help.

11942f6a1858SMarko Zec	The size of structs vnet_net, vnet_inet and vnet_ipfw has changed;

1198781d043cSIvan Voras20090320:
1199781d043cSIvan Voras	GEOM_PART has become the default partition slicer for storage devices,
1200781d043cSIvan Voras	replacing GEOM_MBR, GEOM_BSD, GEOM_PC98 and GEOM_GPT slicers. 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. This follows
12212b78d306SAndrew Thompson	Linux removing theirs in 2.6 and making libusb the default interface
12222b78d306SAndrew Thompson	(supported by sane).
12232b78d306SAndrew Thompson
12242b78d306SAndrew Thompson20090319:
1225443fc317SBruce M Simpson	The multicast forwarding code has been cleaned up. netstat(1)
1226443fc317SBruce M Simpson	only relies on KVM now for printing bandwidth upcall meters.
1227443fc317SBruce M Simpson	The IPv4 and IPv6 modules are split into ip_mroute_mod and
1228443fc317SBruce M Simpson	ip6_mroute_mod respectively. The config(5) options for statically
1229443fc317SBruce M Simpson	compiling this code remain the same, i.e. 'options MROUTING'.
1230443fc317SBruce M Simpson
12311df14375SRobert Watson20090315:
12321df14375SRobert Watson	Support for the IFF_NEEDSGIANT network interface flag has been
12331df14375SRobert Watson	removed, which means that non-MPSAFE network device drivers are no
12341df14375SRobert Watson	longer supported.  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. O'Brien	support for Family 10 and Family 11 CPU families was added.
1247e667034dSRui Paulo
1248a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson20090309:
1249d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	IGMPv3 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged
1250d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	to the IPv4 stack. 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. This requires a buildworld/installworld in order to
1290a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson	update the library and dependencies (usbconfig, etc). Its advisable to
1291cb2fe9b1SStanislav Sedov	rebuild all ports which uses libusb. More specific directions are given
12920ee5826eSAndrew Thompson	in the ports collection UPDATING file. Any /etc/libmap.conf entries for
12933296f80dSAndrew Thompson	libusb are no longer required and can be removed.
1294a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson
129565067cc8SKonstantin Belousov20090302:
12969f960e98SKonstantin Belousov	A workaround is committed to allow the creation of System V shared
12979f960e98SKonstantin Belousov	memory segment of size > 2 GB on the 64-bit architectures.
12989f960e98SKonstantin Belousov	Due to a limitation of the existing ABI, the shm_segsz member
129965067cc8SKonstantin Belousov	of the struct shmid_ds, returned by shmctl(IPC_STAT) call is
1300813bb2c9SJoel Dahl	wrong for large segments. Note that limits must be explicitly
130165067cc8SKonstantin Belousov	raised to allow such segments to be created.
130265067cc8SKonstantin Belousov
1303176273eaSRobert Watson20090301:
1304176273eaSRobert Watson	The layout of struct ifnet has changed, requiring a rebuild of all

1306176273eaSRobert Watson
1307a13a5664SAndrew Thompson20090227:
1308a13a5664SAndrew Thompson	The /dev handling for the new USB stack has changed, a
1309a13a5664SAndrew Thompson	buildworld/installworld is required for libusb20.
1310a13a5664SAndrew Thompson
131171e9286cSAndrew Thompson20090223:
131271e9286cSAndrew Thompson	The new USB2 stack has now been permanently moved in and all kernel and
1313200dcf9aSAndrew Thompson	module names reverted to their previous values (eg, usb, ehci, ohci,
13149c1e15b5SAndrew Thompson	ums, ...).  The old usb stack can be compiled in by prefixing the name
131571e9286cSAndrew Thompson	with the letter 'o', the old usb modules have been removed.
1316a709c9a6SWarner Losh	Updating entry 20090216 for xorg and 20090215 for libmap may still
1317a709c9a6SWarner Losh	apply.
131871e9286cSAndrew Thompson
1319553bf6a4SMike Makonnen20090217:
1320553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	The rc.conf(5) option if_up_delay has been renamed to
1321553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	defaultroute_delay to better reflect its purpose. If you have
1322553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	customized this setting in /etc/rc.conf you need to update it to
1323553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	use the new name.
1324553bf6a4SMike Makonnen
1325bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson20090216:
1326bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
1327bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	yet work with USB2. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
1328bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	add
1329bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson		Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
1330bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured
1331cbb9c89eSMaxim Konovalov	kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf.
1332bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson
1333e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson20090215:
1334e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	The GENERIC kernels for all architectures now default to the new USB2
1335e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	stack. No kernel config options or code have been removed so if a
1336e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	problem arises please report it and optionally revert to the old USB
1337e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	stack. If you are loading USB kernel modules or have a custom kernel
1338e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson	that includes GENERIC then ensure that usb names are also changed over,
1339cbb9c89eSMaxim Konovalov	eg uftdi -> usb2_serial_ftdi.
1340e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson
1341a709c9a6SWarner Losh	Older programs linked against the ports libusb 0.1 need to be
1342a709c9a6SWarner Losh	redirected to the new stack's libusb20.  /etc/libmap.conf can
1343a709c9a6SWarner Losh	be used for this:
1344a709c9a6SWarner Losh		# Map old usb library to new one for usb2 stack
1345a709c9a6SWarner Losh		libusb-0.1.so.8	libusb20.so.1
1346a709c9a6SWarner Losh
134721293e70SAndrew Thompson20090209:
134821293e70SAndrew Thompson	All USB ethernet devices now attach as interfaces under the name ueN
134921293e70SAndrew Thompson	(eg. ue0). This is to provide a predictable name as vendors often
135021293e70SAndrew Thompson	change usb chipsets in a product without notice.
135121293e70SAndrew Thompson
135214943437SJohn Baldwin20090203:
135314943437SJohn Baldwin	The ichsmb(4) driver has been changed to require SMBus slave
135414943437SJohn Baldwin	addresses be left-justified (xxxxxxx0b) rather than right-justified.
135514943437SJohn Baldwin	All of the other SMBus controller drivers require left-justified
135614943437SJohn Baldwin	slave addresses, so this change makes all the drivers provide the
135714943437SJohn Baldwin	same interface.
135814943437SJohn Baldwin
135909f8c3ffSBjoern A. Zeeb20090201:
136009f8c3ffSBjoern A. Zeeb	INET6 statistics (struct ip6stat) was updated.
136109f8c3ffSBjoern A. Zeeb	netstat(1) needs to be recompiled.
136209f8c3ffSBjoern A. Zeeb
136374f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev20090119:
136474f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	NTFS has been removed from GENERIC kernel on amd64 to match
136574f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	GENERIC on i386. Should not cause any issues since mount_ntfs(8)
136674f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	will load ntfs.ko module automatically when NTFS support is
136774f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	actually needed, unless ntfs.ko is not installed or security
136874f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	level prohibits loading kernel modules. If either is the case,
136974f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	"options NTFS" has to be added into kernel config.
137074f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev
137124cb0f22SLawrence Stewart20090115:
137224cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	TCP Appropriate Byte Counting (RFC 3465) support added to kernel.
137324cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	New field in struct tcpcb breaks ABI, so bump __FreeBSD_version to
137424cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	800061. User space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in
137524cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to be recompiled.

13775d55747eSAlexander Motin20081225:
13785d55747eSAlexander Motin	ng_tty(4) module updated to match the new TTY subsystem.
13795d55747eSAlexander Motin	Due to API change, user-level applications must be updated.
13805d55747eSAlexander Motin	New API support added to mpd5 CVS and expected to be present
13815d55747eSAlexander Motin	in next mpd5.3 release.

1383efc06131SSam Leffler20081219:
1384a1c64cafSSam Leffler	With __FreeBSD_version 800060 the makefs tool is part of
1385a1c64cafSSam Leffler	the base system (it was a port).

1387991f8615SKip Macy20081216:
1388991f8615SKip Macy	The afdata and ifnet locks have been changed from mutexes to
1389991f8615SKip Macy	rwlocks, network modules will need to be re-compiled.

13916e6b3f7cSQing Li20081214:
13926e6b3f7cSQing Li	__FreeBSD_version 800059 incorporates the new arp-v2 rewrite.
13936e6b3f7cSQing Li	RTF_CLONING, RTF_LLINFO and RTF_WASCLONED flags are eliminated.
13946e6b3f7cSQing Li	The new code reduced struct rtentry{} by 16 bytes on 32-bit
13956e6b3f7cSQing Li	architecture and 40 bytes on 64-bit architecture. The userland
13966e6b3f7cSQing Li	applications "arp" and "ndp" have been updated accordingly.
13976e6b3f7cSQing Li	The output from "netstat -r" shows only routing entries and
13986e6b3f7cSQing Li	none of the L2 information.

140033644623SSam Leffler20081130:
140133644623SSam Leffler	__FreeBSD_version 800057 marks the switchover from the
140233644623SSam Leffler	binary ath hal to source code. Users must add the line:
140333644623SSam Leffler
1404c60b227cSSam Leffler	options	AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
140533644623SSam Leffler

140833644623SSam Leffler	device	ath_hal
140933644623SSam Leffler
141033644623SSam Leffler	The ath_hal module no longer exists; the code is now compiled
141133644623SSam Leffler	together with the driver in the ath module.  It is now
141233644623SSam Leffler	possible to tailor chip support (i.e. reduce the set of chips
141333644623SSam Leffler	and thereby the code size); consult ath_hal(4) for details.
141433644623SSam Leffler
1415db7f0b97SKip Macy20081121:
1416db7f0b97SKip Macy	__FreeBSD_version 800054 adds memory barriers to
1417db7f0b97SKip Macy	<machine/atomic.h>, new interfaces to ifnet to facilitate
1418db7f0b97SKip Macy	multiple hardware transmit queues for cards that support
1419db7f0b97SKip Macy	them, and a lock-less ring-buffer implementation to
1420db7f0b97SKip Macy	enable drivers to more efficiently manage queueing of
1421db7f0b97SKip Macy	packets.

1424de2e1b35SXin LI	A new version of ZFS (version 13) has been merged to -HEAD.
1425de3a91a0SXin LI	This version has zpool attribute "listsnapshots" off by
1426de3a91a0SXin LI	default, which means "zfs list" does not show snapshots,
1427de2e1b35SXin LI	and is the same as Solaris behavior.

142902d09f79SOleg Bulyzhin20081028:
143002d09f79SOleg Bulyzhin	dummynet(4) ABI has changed. ipfw(8) needs to be recompiled.

1432e91c7c81SJoseph Koshy20081009:
1433d8135f4aSNick Hibma	The uhci, ohci, ehci and slhci USB Host controller drivers have
1434d8135f4aSNick Hibma	been put into separate modules. If you load the usb module
1435d8135f4aSNick Hibma	separately through loader.conf you will need to load the
1436d8135f4aSNick Hibma	appropriate *hci module as well. E.g. for a UHCI-based USB 2.0
1437d8135f4aSNick Hibma	controller add the following to loader.conf:
1438d8135f4aSNick Hibma
1439d8135f4aSNick Hibma		uhci_load="YES"
1440d8135f4aSNick Hibma		ehci_load="YES"

1442d8135f4aSNick Hibma20081009:
1443e91c7c81SJoseph Koshy	The ABI used by the PMC toolset has changed.  Please keep
1444e91c7c81SJoseph Koshy	userland (libpmc(3)) and the kernel module (hwpmc(4)) in
1445e91c7c81SJoseph Koshy	sync.

1447b868265dSAlexander Motin20081009:
1448b868265dSAlexander Motin	atapci kernel module now includes only generic PCI ATA
1449b868265dSAlexander Motin	driver. AHCI driver moved to ataahci kernel module.
1450b868265dSAlexander Motin	All vendor-specific code moved into separate kernel modules:
1451b868265dSAlexander Motin	ataacard, ataacerlabs, ataadaptec, ataamd, ataati, atacenatek,
1452b868265dSAlexander Motin	atacypress, atacyrix, atahighpoint, ataintel, ataite, atajmicron,

1456bc093719SEd Schouten20080820:
1457bc093719SEd Schouten	The TTY subsystem of the kernel has been replaced by a new
1458bc093719SEd Schouten	implementation, which provides better scalability and an
1459bc093719SEd Schouten	improved driver model. Most common drivers have been migrated to
1460bc093719SEd Schouten	the new TTY subsystem, while others have not. The following
1461bc093719SEd Schouten	drivers have not yet been ported to the new TTY layer:
1462bc093719SEd Schouten
1463bc093719SEd Schouten	PCI/ISA:
146466e7dc38SEd Schouten		cy, digi, rc, rp, sio
1465bc093719SEd Schouten
1466bc093719SEd Schouten	USB:
146766e7dc38SEd Schouten		ubser, ucycom
1468bc093719SEd Schouten
1469bc093719SEd Schouten	Line disciplines:
1470bc093719SEd Schouten		ng_h4, ng_tty, ppp, sl, snp
1471bc093719SEd Schouten
1472bc093719SEd Schouten	Adding these drivers to your kernel configuration file shall
1473bc093719SEd Schouten	cause compilation to fail.
1474bc093719SEd Schouten
14759d965219SOllivier Robert20080818:
14769d965219SOllivier Robert	ntpd has been upgraded to 4.2.4p5.
14779d965219SOllivier Robert
1478eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav20080801:
1479eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	OpenSSH has been upgraded to 5.1p1.
1480eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav
1481eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	For many years, FreeBSD's version of OpenSSH preferred DSA
1482eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	over RSA for host and user authentication keys.  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.  You may want to
1495737d990aSXin LI	specify IdentityFile in a different order to revert this
1496737d990aSXin LI	behavior.
1497737d990aSXin LI
1498f4d811f0SEd Schouten20080713:
1499f4d811f0SEd Schouten	The sio(4) driver has been removed from the i386 and amd64
1500f4d811f0SEd Schouten	kernel configuration files. 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"

1520bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar20080609:
1521bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar	The gpt(8) utility has been removed. Use gpart(8) to partition
1522bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar	disks instead.

152427f7c387SRoman Divacky20080603:
1525a47444d5SRoman Divacky	The version that Linuxulator emulates was changed from 2.4.2
1526a47444d5SRoman Divacky	to 2.6.16. If you experience any problems with Linux binaries
1527a47444d5SRoman Divacky	please try to set sysctl compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.2 and
1528a47444d5SRoman Divacky	if it fixes the problem contact emulation mailing list.

15312e598474SBjoern A. Zeeb	ISDN4BSD (I4B) was removed from the src tree. You may need to
15322e598474SBjoern A. Zeeb	update a your kernel configuration and remove relevant entries.
15332e598474SBjoern A. Zeeb
15344dcedde3SJulian Elischer20080509:
15354dcedde3SJulian Elischer	I have checked in code to support multiple routing tables.
1536032e0bf8SMaxim Konovalov	See the man pages setfib(1) and setfib(2).
15374dcedde3SJulian Elischer	This is a hopefully backwards compatible version,
15384dcedde3SJulian Elischer	but to make use of it you need to compile your kernel
15394dcedde3SJulian Elischer	with options ROUTETABLES=2 (or more up to 16).
15404dcedde3SJulian Elischer
1541de570baaSSam Leffler20080420:
1542de570baaSSam Leffler	The 802.11 wireless support was redone to enable multi-bss
1543de570baaSSam Leffler	operation on devices that are capable.  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.  All references
1557de570baaSSam Leffler	to these modules (e.g. in kernel config files) must be removed.
1558de570baaSSam Leffler
1559ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim20080408:
1560ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	psm(4) has gained write(2) support in native operation level.
1561ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	Arbitrary commands can be written to /dev/psm%d and status can
1562ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	be read back from it.  Therefore, an application is responsible
1563ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	for status validation and error recovery.  It is a no-op in
1564ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	other operation levels.
1565ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim
1566e4c67b94SJeff Roberson20080312:
1567e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	Support for KSE threading has been removed from the kernel.  To
1568e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	run legacy applications linked against KSE libmap.conf may
1569e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	be used.  The following libmap.conf may be used to ensure
1570e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	compatibility with any prior release:
1571e4c67b94SJeff Roberson
1572e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	libpthread.so.1 libthr.so.1
1573e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2

15768775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar20080301:
15778775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	The layout of struct vmspace has changed. This affects libkvm
15788775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	and any executables that link against libkvm and use the
15798775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	kvm_getprocs() function. In particular, but not exclusively,
15808775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	it affects ps(1), fstat(1), pkill(1), systat(1), top(1) and w(1).
15818775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	The effects are minimal, but it's advisable to upgrade world
15828775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	nonetheless.

1584df09ebc0SJack F Vogel20080229:
1585df09ebc0SJack F Vogel	The latest em driver no longer has support in it for the
1586df09ebc0SJack F Vogel	82575 adapter, this is now moved to the igb driver. The
1587df09ebc0SJack F Vogel	split was done to make new features that are incompatible
1588df09ebc0SJack F Vogel	with older hardware easier to do.
1589df09ebc0SJack F Vogel
15901669d8afSAndrew Thompson20080220:
15911669d8afSAndrew Thompson	The new geom_lvm(4) geom class has been renamed to geom_linux_lvm(4),

15952427fa19SKris Kennaway	The default NFS mount mode has changed from UDP to TCP for
15962427fa19SKris Kennaway	increased reliability.  If you rely on (insecurely) NFS
15972427fa19SKris Kennaway	mounting across a firewall you may need to update your

16035e9f6b73SSam Leffler
160448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy20080126:
160548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	The fts(3) structures have been changed to use adequate
160648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	integer types for their members and so to be able to cope
160748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	with huge file trees.  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.

1627e393af84SMarius Strobl20071118:
1628e393af84SMarius Strobl	The AT keyboard emulation of sunkbd(4) has been turned on
1629e393af84SMarius Strobl	by default. 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.:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. O'Brien	a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
17111cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
17121cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien
17131cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	make kernel-toolchain
1714282e0f01SRuslan Ermilov	make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1715282e0f01SRuslan Ermilov	make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1716dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh
17172e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	To test a kernel once
17182e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	---------------------
17192e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
17202e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
17212e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	debugging information) run
17222e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
17232e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	nextboot -k testkernel
17242e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger
1725ba01eb20SWarner Losh	To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1726ba01eb20SWarner Losh	--------------------------------------------------------------
1727456b5dd8SWarner Losh	This assumes you are already running a CURRENT system.  Replace
17280fbd2da9SKen Smith	${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1729456b5dd8SWarner Losh	"arm", "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", "powerpc", "mips", etc).
17300fbd2da9SKen Smith
17310fbd2da9SKen Smith	cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
173247d0d01fSWarner Losh	config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
17330fbd2da9SKen Smith	cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1734ba01eb20SWarner Losh	make depend
1735ba01eb20SWarner Losh	make
1736ba01eb20SWarner Losh	make install
1737ba01eb20SWarner Losh
1738ba01eb20SWarner Losh	If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
1739ba01eb20SWarner Losh
1740ba01eb20SWarner Losh	To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
1741ba01eb20SWarner Losh	-----------------------------------------------------------
174263cb445eSWarner Losh	# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
174363cb445eSWarner Losh	# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.

1756f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	To cross-install current onto a separate partition
1757f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	--------------------------------------------------
1758f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1759f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories.   A partition
1760f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
1761f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	# size.
1762f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy
1763f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1764f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	<boot into -stable>
1765f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	make buildworld

178015974d55SGavin Atkinson	To upgrade in-place from stable to current
1781f27b1fceSJoseph Koshy	----------------------------------------------
1782f643de42SWarner Losh	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
178321c075eaSWarner Losh	make buildworld					[9]
1784e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE		[8]

1791ba26da8eSWarner Losh	<reboot>
1792ba26da8eSWarner Losh
1793fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1794fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  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.
