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

30*64e6e1e4SCeri Davies202106xx:
31*64e6e1e4SCeri Davies	The directory "blacklisted" under /usr/share/certs/ has been
32*64e6e1e4SCeri Davies	renamed to "untrusted".
33*64e6e1e4SCeri Davies
345860696eSRick Macklem20210611:
357cf9caf2SWarner Losh	svnlite has been removed from base. Should you need svn for any reason
367cf9caf2SWarner Losh	please install the svn package or port.
377cf9caf2SWarner Losh
387cf9caf2SWarner Losh20210611:
395860696eSRick Macklem	Commit e1a907a25cfa changed the internal KAPI between the krpc
405860696eSRick Macklem	and nfsserver.  As such, both modules must be rebuilt from
415860696eSRick Macklem	sources.  Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400022.
425860696eSRick Macklem
437cf9caf2SWarner Losh20210610:
447cf9caf2SWarner Losh	The an(4) driver has been removed from FreeBSD.
457cf9caf2SWarner Losh
46b3823943SWarner Losh20210608:
47f530cce5SEd Maste	The vendor/openzfs branch was renamed to vendor/openzfs/legacy to
48b3823943SWarner Losh	start tracking OpenZFS upstream more closely. Please see
49b3823943SWarner Loshhttps://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-current/2021-June/000153.html
50b3823943SWarner Losh	for details on how to correct any errors that might result. The
51b3823943SWarner Losh	short version is that you need to remove the old branch locally:
52b3823943SWarner Losh	    git update-ref -d refs/remotes/freebsd/vendor/openzfs
53b3823943SWarner Losh	(assuming your upstream origin is named 'freebsd').

55d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb20210525:
56d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb	Commits 17accc08ae15 and de102f870501 add new files to LinuxKPI
57d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb	which break drm-kmod.  In addition various other additions where
58d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb	comitted. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400015 to be able to detect this.
59d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb
601c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot20210513:
611c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	Commit ca179c4d74f2 changed the package in which the OpenSSL
621c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	libraries and utilities are packaged.
6328ce2012SEmmanuel Vadot	It is recommended for pkgbase user to do:
641c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	pkg install -f FreeBSD-openssl
651c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	before pkg upgrade otherwise some dependencies might not be met
661c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	and pkg will stop working as libssl will not be present anymore
671c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	on the system.
681c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot
6901bad87aSRick Macklem20210426:
7001bad87aSRick Macklem	Commit 875977314881 changed the internal KAPI between
7101bad87aSRick Macklem	the nfsd and nfscommon modules.  As such these modules
7201bad87aSRick Macklem	need to be rebuilt from sources.
7301bad87aSRick Macklem	Without this patch in your NFSv4.1/4.2 server, enabling
7401bad87aSRick Macklem	delegations by setting vfs.nfsd.issue_delegations non-zero
7501bad87aSRick Macklem	is not recommended.
7601bad87aSRick Macklem
7768b7d9b5SRick Macklem20210411:
7868b7d9b5SRick Macklem	Commit 7763814fc9c2 changed the internal KAPI between
7968b7d9b5SRick Macklem	the krpc and NFS.  As such, the krpc, nfscommon and
8068b7d9b5SRick Macklem	nfscl modules must all be rebuilt from sources.
81d647d0d4SRick Macklem	Without this patch, NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts should not
82d647d0d4SRick Macklem	be done with the nfscbd(8) daemon running, to avoid
83d647d0d4SRick Macklem	needing a working back channel for server->client RPCs.
8468b7d9b5SRick Macklem
852b98ea2eSRick Macklem20210330:
862b98ea2eSRick Macklem	Commit 01ae8969a9ee fixed the NFSv4.1/4.2 server so that it
872b98ea2eSRick Macklem	handles binding of the back channel as required by RFC5661.
882b98ea2eSRick Macklem	Until this patch is in your server, avoid use of the "nconnects"
892b98ea2eSRick Macklem	mount option for Linux NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
902b98ea2eSRick Macklem
91ba7ede0bSEd Maste20210225:
92ba7ede0bSEd Maste	For 64-bit architectures the base system is now built with Position
93ba7ede0bSEd Maste	Independent Executable (PIE) support enabled by default.  It may be
94ba7ede0bSEd Maste	disabled using the WITHOUT_PIE knob.  A clean build is required.
95ba7ede0bSEd Maste
96d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb20210128:
97d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb	Various LinuxKPI functionality was added which conflicts with DRM.
98d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb	Please update your drm-kmod port to after the __FreeBSD_verison 1400003
99d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb	update.
100d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb
101429c7d1aSWarner Losh20210108:
102429c7d1aSWarner Losh	PC Card attachments for all devices have been removed. In the case of
103429c7d1aSWarner Losh	wi and cmx, the entire drivers were removed because they were only
104429c7d1aSWarner Losh	PC Card devices. FreeBSD_version 1300134 should be used for this
105429c7d1aSWarner Losh	since it was bumped so recently.
106429c7d1aSWarner Losh
10781098ca8SVladimir Kondratyev20210107:
108a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	Transport-independent parts of HID support have been split off the USB
109a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	code in to separate subsystem.  Kernel configs which include one of
110a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	ums, ukbd, uhid, atp, wsp, wmt, uaudio, ugold or ucycom drivers should
111a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	be updated with adding of "device hid" line.
112a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev
113009c1100SBaptiste Daroussin20210105:
114bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin	ncurses installation has been modified to only keep the widechar
115bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin	enabled version.  Incremental build is broken for that change, so it
116bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin	requires a clean build.
117bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin
118878d5341SWarner Losh20201223:
119878d5341SWarner Losh	The FreeBSD project has migrated from Subversion to Git. Temporary
120878d5341SWarner Losh	instructions can be found at
121878d5341SWarner Losh	https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/src-cvt.md
122878d5341SWarner Losh	and other documents in that repo.
123878d5341SWarner Losh
124228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni20201216:
125228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	The services database has been updated to cover more of the basic
126228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	services expected in a modern system. The database is big enough
127228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	that it will cause issues in mergemaster in Releases previous to
128228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	12.2 and 11.3, or in very old current systems from before r358154.
129228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni
1301c0ea326SEd Maste20201215:
1311c0ea326SEd Maste	Obsolete in-tree GDB 6.1.1 has been removed.  GDB (including kgdb)
1321c0ea326SEd Maste	may be installed from ports or packages.
1331c0ea326SEd Maste
1343cde9171SAlan Somers20201124:
1353cde9171SAlan Somers	ping6 has been merged into ping.  It can now be called as "ping -6".
1363cde9171SAlan Somers	See ping(8) for details.
1373cde9171SAlan Somers
1382d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov20201108:
1392d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov	Default value of net.add_addr_allfibs has been changed to 0.
1402d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov	If you have multi-fib configuration and rely on existence of all
1412d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov	interface routes in every fib, you need to set the above sysctl to 1.
142993d2d4bSJens Schweikhardt
143a97cfe08SStefan Eßer20201030:
1447afa1a75SStefan Eßer	The internal pre-processor in the calendar(1) program has been
1457afa1a75SStefan Eßer	extended to support more C pre-processor commands (e.g. #ifdef, #else,
1467afa1a75SStefan Eßer	and #undef) and to detect unbalanced conditional statements.
1477afa1a75SStefan Eßer	Error messages have been extended to include the filename and line
1487afa1a75SStefan Eßer	number if processing stops to help fixing malformed data files.
1497afa1a75SStefan Eßer
150a97cfe08SStefan Eßer20201026:
151d20d6550SWarner Losh	All the data files for the calendar(1) program, except calendar.freebsd,
152d20d6550SWarner Losh	have been moved to the deskutils/calendar-data port, much like the
153d20d6550SWarner Losh	jewish calendar entries were moved to deskutils/hebcal years ago. After
154d20d6550SWarner Losh	make delete-old-files, you need to install it to retain full
155d20d6550SWarner Losh	functionality. calendar(1) will issue a reminder for files it can't
156d20d6550SWarner Losh	find.
157d20d6550SWarner Losh
1587e46dafaSWarner Losh20200923:
1597e46dafaSWarner Losh	LINT files are no longer generated. We now include the relevant NOTES
1607e46dafaSWarner Losh	files. Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases.
1610d948bffSLi-Wen Hsu	        find sys -name LINT\* -delete
1627e46dafaSWarner Losh	is suggested across this commit	to remove the generated	LINT files.
1637e46dafaSWarner Losh
1647e46dafaSWarner Losh	If you have tried to update with generated files there, the svn
1657e46dafaSWarner Losh	command you want to un-auger the tree is
1667e46dafaSWarner Losh		cd sys/amd64/conf
1677e46dafaSWarner Losh		svn revert -R .
1687e46dafaSWarner Losh	and then do the above find from the top level. Substitute 'amd64'
1697e46dafaSWarner Losh	above with where the error message indicates a conflict.
1707e46dafaSWarner Losh
1713c41ca88SWarner Losh20200824:
1725db7b015SMatt Macy	OpenZFS support has been integrated. Do not upgrade root pools until
1735db7b015SMatt Macy	the loader is updated to support zstd. Furthermore, we caution against
1745db7b015SMatt Macy	'zpool upgrade' for the next few weeks. The change should be transparent
1755db7b015SMatt Macy	unless you  want to use new features.
17613e4dbd2SMatt Macy
177d0fba0c5SWarner Losh	Not all "NO_CLEAN" build scenarios work across these changes. Many
178d0fba0c5SWarner Losh	scenarios have been tested and fixed, but rebuilding kernels without
179d0fba0c5SWarner Losh	rebuilding world may fail.
180d0fba0c5SWarner Losh
181f03478b1SWarner Losh	The ZFS cache file has moved from /boot to /etc to match the OpenZFS
182de209fe1SRyan Moeller	upstream default. A fallback to /boot has been added for mountroot.
183de209fe1SRyan Moeller
184de209fe1SRyan Moeller	Pool auto import behavior at boot has been moved from the kernel module
185de209fe1SRyan Moeller	to an explicit "zpool import -a" in one of the rc scripts enabled by
186de209fe1SRyan Moeller	zfs_enable=YES. This means your non-root zpools won't auto import until
187de209fe1SRyan Moeller	you upgrade your /etc/rc.d files.
188f03478b1SWarner Losh
189ea007feeSWarner Losh20200824:
1903c41ca88SWarner Losh	The resume code now notifies devd with the 'kernel' system
1913c41ca88SWarner Losh	rather than the old 'kern' subsystem to be consistent with
1923c41ca88SWarner Losh	other use. The old notification will be created as well, but
1933c41ca88SWarner Losh	will be removed prior to FreeBSD 14.0.
1943c41ca88SWarner Losh
19571bba112SRick Macklem20200821:
19671bba112SRick Macklem	r362275 changed the internal API between the kernel RPC and the
19771bba112SRick Macklem	NFS modules. As such, all the modules must be recompiled from
19871bba112SRick Macklem	sources.
19971bba112SRick Macklem
200a371e791SRick Macklem20200817:
201a371e791SRick Macklem	r364330 modified the internal API used between the NFS modules.
202a371e791SRick Macklem	As such, all the NFS modules must be re-compiled from sources.
203a371e791SRick Macklem
204e61154c4SDimitry Andric20200816:
205b0e89accSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
206b0e89accSDimitry Andric	been upgraded to 11.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
207b0e89accSDimitry Andric	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
208b0e89accSDimitry Andric	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
209b0e89accSDimitry Andric
2106d56f524SRick Macklem20200810:
2116d56f524SRick Macklem	r364092 modified the internal ABI used between the kernel NFS
2126d56f524SRick Macklem	modules.  As such, all of these modules need to be rebuilt
2136d56f524SRick Macklem	from sources, so a version bump was done.
2146d56f524SRick Macklem
21533176cdcSWarner Losh20200807:
21633176cdcSWarner Losh	Makefile.inc has been updated to work around the issue documented in
21733176cdcSWarner Losh	20200729. It was a case where the optimization of using symbolic links
21833176cdcSWarner Losh	to point to binaries created a situation where we'd run new binaries
21933176cdcSWarner Losh	with old libraries starting midway through the installworld process.
22033176cdcSWarner Losh
221d2090a40SKyle Evans20200729:
222d2090a40SKyle Evans	r363679 has redefined some undefined behavior in regcomp(3); notably,
223d2090a40SKyle Evans	extraneous escapes of most ordinary characters will no longer be
224d2090a40SKyle Evans	accepted.  An exp-run has identified all of the problems with this in
225d2090a40SKyle Evans	ports, but other non-ports software may need extra escapes removed to
226d2090a40SKyle Evans	continue to function.
227d2090a40SKyle Evans
228d6391a26SKyle Evans	Because of this change, installworld may encounter the following error
229d6391a26SKyle Evans	from rtld: Undefined symbol "regcomp@FBSD_1.6" -- It is imperative that
230d6391a26SKyle Evans	you do not halt installworld. Instead, let it run to completion (whether
231d6391a26SKyle Evans	successful or not) and run installworld once more.
232d6391a26SKyle Evans
233c2caa342SStefan Eßer20200627:
234dee0d87cSWarner Losh	A new implementation of bc and dc has been imported in r362681. This
235c2caa342SStefan Eßer	implementation corrects non-conformant behavior of the previous bc
236c2caa342SStefan Eßer	and adds GNU bc compatible options. It offers a number of extensions,
237c2caa342SStefan Eßer	is much faster on large values, and has support for message catalogs
238c2caa342SStefan Eßer	(a number of languages are already supported, contributions of further
239c2caa342SStefan Eßer	languages welcome). The option WITHOUT_GH_BC can be used to build the
240c2caa342SStefan Eßer	world with the previous versions of bc and dc.
241c2caa342SStefan Eßer
242a9813b6bSRick Macklem20200625:
243a9813b6bSRick Macklem	r362639 changed the internal API used between the NFS kernel modules.
244a9813b6bSRick Macklem	As such, they all need to be rebuilt from sources.
245a9813b6bSRick Macklem
246be8f8ca2SRick Macklem20200613:
247be8f8ca2SRick Macklem	r362158 changed the arguments for VFS_CHECKEXP().  As such, any
248be8f8ca2SRick Macklem	out of tree file systems need to be modified and rebuilt.
249be8f8ca2SRick Macklem	Also, any file systems that are modules must be rebuilt.
250be8f8ca2SRick Macklem
2519b16365fSKyle Evans20200604:
2529b16365fSKyle Evans	read(2) of a directory fd is now rejected by default.  root may
2539b16365fSKyle Evans	re-enable it for system root only on non-ZFS filesystems with the
2549b16365fSKyle Evans	security.bsd.allow_read_dir sysctl(8) MIB if
2559b16365fSKyle Evans	security.bsd.suser_enabled=1.
2569b16365fSKyle Evans
2579b16365fSKyle Evans	It may be advised to setup aliases for grep to default to `-d skip` if
2589b16365fSKyle Evans	commonly non-recursively grepping a list that includes directories and
2599b16365fSKyle Evans	the potential for the resulting stderr output is not tolerable.  Example
2609b16365fSKyle Evans	aliases are now installed, commented out, in /root/.cshrc and
2619b16365fSKyle Evans	/root/.shrc.

263d65cd7a5SDimitry Andric20200523:
264d65cd7a5SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
265d65cd7a5SDimitry Andric	been upgraded to 10.0.1.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for

2690d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen20200512:
2700d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen	Support for obsolete compilers has been removed from the build system.
2710d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen	Clang 6 and GCC 6.4 are the minimum supported versions.
2720d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen
273277cd398SKyle Evans20200424:
274679c46f0SKyle Evans	closefrom(2) has been moved under COMPAT12, and replaced in libc with a
275679c46f0SKyle Evans	stub that calls close_range(2).  If using a custom kernel configuration,
276679c46f0SKyle Evans	you may want to ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD12 option is included, as
277679c46f0SKyle Evans	a slightly older -CURRENT userland and older FreeBSD userlands may not
278679c46f0SKyle Evans	be functional without closefrom(2).
279679c46f0SKyle Evans

283d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	The DTB overlays have now been removed from the tree for the H3/H5 and
284d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	A64 SoCs and the aw_sid and aw_thermal driver have been updated to
285d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	deal with upstream DTS. If you are using those overlays you need to
286d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	remove them from loader.conf and update the DTBs on the FAT partition.

3776d69608cSKyle Evans20191205:
3786d69608cSKyle Evans	The root certificates of the Mozilla CA Certificate Store have been
3796d69608cSKyle Evans	imported into the base system and can be managed with the certctl(8)
3806d69608cSKyle Evans	utility.  If you have installed the security/ca_root_nss port or package
3816d69608cSKyle Evans	with the ETCSYMLINK option (the default), be advised that there may be
3826d69608cSKyle Evans	differences between those included in the port and those included in
3836d69608cSKyle Evans	base due to differences in nss branch used as well as general update
3846d69608cSKyle Evans	frequency.  Note also that certctl(8) cannot manage certs in the

3926b33973bSAndriy Gapon20191107:
3936b33973bSAndriy Gapon	The nctgpio and wbwd drivers have been moved to the superio bus.
3946b33973bSAndriy Gapon	If you have one of these drivers in a kernel configuration, then
3956b33973bSAndriy Gapon	you should add device superio to it.  If you use one of these drivers
3966b33973bSAndriy Gapon	as a module and you compile a custom set of modules, then you should
3976b33973bSAndriy Gapon	add superio to the set.

40219e09f44SGleb Smirnoff
40319e09f44SGleb Smirnoff20191021:
4043d501333SKyle Evans	The net.link.tap.user_open sysctl no longer prevents user opening of
4053d501333SKyle Evans	already created /dev/tapNN devices.  Access is still controlled by
4063d501333SKyle Evans	node permissions, just like tun devices.  The net.link.tap.user_open
4073d501333SKyle Evans	sysctl is now used only to allow users to perform devfs cloning of
4083d501333SKyle Evans	tap devices, and the subsequent open may not succeed if the user is not
4093d501333SKyle Evans	in the appropriate group.  This sysctl may be deprecated/removed

455fbcfc75aSIan Lepore20190713:
456a97202f1SIan Lepore	Default permissions on the /var/account/acct file (and copies of it
457a97202f1SIan Lepore	rotated by periodic daily scripts) are changed from 0644 to 0640
458a97202f1SIan Lepore	because the file contains sensitive information that should not be
459a97202f1SIan Lepore	world-readable.  If the /var/account directory must be created by

481aa0a8933SMark Johnston20190513:
482aa0a8933SMark Johnston	User-wired pages now have their own counter,
483aa0a8933SMark Johnston	vm.stats.vm.v_user_wire_count.  The vm.max_wired sysctl was renamed
484aa0a8933SMark Johnston	to vm.max_user_wired and changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned
485aa0a8933SMark Johnston	long.  bhyve VMs wired with the -S are now subject to the user
486aa0a8933SMark Johnston	wiring limit; the vm.max_user_wired sysctl may need to be tuned to
487aa0a8933SMark Johnston	avoid running into the limit.

493542970faSAndrew Gallatin20190507:
494251a32b5SKyle Evans	The tap(4) driver has been folded into tun(4), and the module has been
49515e9beb7SKyle Evans	renamed to tuntap.  You should update any kld_list="if_tap" or

5013782136fSConrad Meyer20190418:
5023782136fSConrad Meyer	The following knobs have been added related to tradeoffs between
5033782136fSConrad Meyer	safe use of the random device and availability in the absence of
5043782136fSConrad Meyer	entropy:
5053782136fSConrad Meyer
5063782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.bypass_before_seeding: tunable; set
5073782136fSConrad Meyer	non-zero to bypass the random device prior to seeding, or zero to
5083782136fSConrad Meyer	block random requests until the random device is initially seeded.
5093782136fSConrad Meyer	For now, set to 1 (unsafe) by default to restore pre-r346250 boot
5103782136fSConrad Meyer	availability properties.
5113782136fSConrad Meyer
5123782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.read_random_bypassed_before_seeding:
5133782136fSConrad Meyer	read-only diagnostic sysctl that is set when bypass is enabled and
5143782136fSConrad Meyer	read_random(9) is bypassed, to enable programmatic handling of this
5153782136fSConrad Meyer	initial condition, if desired.
5163782136fSConrad Meyer
5173782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.arc4random_bypassed_before_seeding:

525f3d2512dSConrad Meyer20190416:
526f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	The loadable random module KPI has changed; the random_infra_init()
527f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	routine now requires a 3rd function pointer for a bool (*)(void)

580d493fe42SRick Macklem20181220:
581d493fe42SRick Macklem	r342286 modifies the NFSv4 server so that it obeys vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport
582d493fe42SRick Macklem	in the same as it is applied to NFSv2 and 3.  This implies that NFSv4
583d493fe42SRick Macklem	servers that have vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport set will only allow mounts
584d493fe42SRick Macklem	from clients using a reserved port#. Since both the FreeBSD and Linux
585d493fe42SRick Macklem	NFSv4 clients use reserved port#s by default, this should not affect

636468002c5SWarner Losh20181015:
637468002c5SWarner Losh	Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. Now, amd64 users should
638468002c5SWarner Losh	just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install
639468002c5SWarner Losh	drm-legacy-kmod.
640468002c5SWarner Losh
641468002c5SWarner Losh	Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with
642468002c5SWarner Losh	drm-kmod.  For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need
643468002c5SWarner Losh	to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older
644468002c5SWarner Losh	than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can
645468002c5SWarner Losh	only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the
646468002c5SWarner Losh	market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you
647468002c5SWarner Losh	have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use
648468002c5SWarner Losh	that as you will get better support.
649468002c5SWarner Losh
650468002c5SWarner Losh	Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined
651468002c5SWarner Losh	elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base
652274cfcd7SWarner Losh	soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package
653274cfcd7SWarner Losh	asap and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org.
654468002c5SWarner Losh
655468002c5SWarner Losh	Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add
656468002c5SWarner Losh	WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty
657468002c5SWarner Losh	cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver

661b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl20181012:
662b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl	The ixlv(4) driver has been renamed to iavf(4).  As a consequence,
663b34bb3bfSMarius Strobl	custom kernel and module loading configuration files must be updated

677532dc172SKyle Evans	The module blacklist may be overridden with the loader.conf(5)

6888d66f7beSEd Maste20180913:
6898d66f7beSEd Maste	Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for
6908d66f7beSEd Maste	FreeBSD 12.0.  This eliminates build metadata such as the user,
6918d66f7beSEd Maste	host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree
6928d66f7beSEd Maste	corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system.

706f9f8ac94SKyle Evans20180818:
707f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua.
708f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default
709f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	interpreter.  If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set
710f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in
711f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	src.conf for the build.  This will create default hard links between
712f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default.
713f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi.
714f9f8ac94SKyle Evans
715295506bfSWarner Losh	bhyve uses userboot.so. It remains 4th-only until some issues are solved

72072ad696aSKyle Evans	systems and software to indicate that a colored terminal is both
72172ad696aSKyle Evans	supported and desired.  If ls(1) is suddenly emitting colors, they may
722e10ba800SKyle Evans	be disabled again by either removing the unwanted COLORTERM from your
723e10ba800SKyle Evans	environment, or using `ls --color=never`.  The ls(1) specific CLICOLOR
724e10ba800SKyle Evans	may not be observed in a future release.

72647cc9ee1SAlan Somers20180808:
72747cc9ee1SAlan Somers	The default pager for most commands has been changed to "less".  To

733b5988450SRavi Pokala	is available in the jedec_dimm(4) driver, and the manpage for that
734b5988450SRavi Pokala	driver includes migration instructions. If you have "device jedec_ts"

737164138e7SKyle Evans20180730:
738164138e7SKyle Evans	amd64/GENERIC now has EFI runtime services, EFIRT, enabled by default.
739dfa6eec2SKyle Evans	This should have no effect if the kernel is booted via BIOS/legacy boot.
7401ddc8a8eSKyle Evans	EFIRT may be disabled via a loader tunable, efi.rt.disabled, if a system

8140dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	index. Previously, if all indexes were taken the kernel would overwrite
8150dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	only a core file with the highest index in a filename.
8160dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free

8262fd8cef4SWarner Losh	r335753 introduced a new quoting method. However, etc/devd/devmatch.conf
8272fd8cef4SWarner Losh	needed to be changed to work with it. This change was made with r335763
828274cfcd7SWarner Losh	and requires a mergemaster / etcupdate / etc to update the installed

8406f282e72SEd Maste20180530:
8410bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	The kernel / userland interface for devinfo changed, so you'll
8420bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	need a new kernel and userland as a pair for it to work (rebuilding
8430bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	lib/libdevinfo is all that's required). devinfo and devmatch will
8440bf7cdd5SWarner Losh	not work, but everything else will when there's a mismatch.

8467e1a13f4SMatt Macy20180523:
8477e1a13f4SMatt Macy	The on-disk format for hwpmc callchain records has changed to include
8487e1a13f4SMatt Macy	threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets
8497e1a13f4SMatt Macy	and thus requires that libpmcstat be rebuilt before using a kernel
8507e1a13f4SMatt Macy	later than r334108.

8526f78fad3SSean Bruno20180517:
8536f78fad3SSean Bruno	The vxge(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was introduced into
8546f78fad3SSean Bruno	HEAD one week before the Exar left the Ethernet market and is not
8556f78fad3SSean Bruno	known to be used.  If you have device vxge in your kernel config file
8566f78fad3SSean Bruno	it must be removed.

8586e258ed3SWarner Losh20180510:
859eb8831b9SWarner Losh	The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a
860eb8831b9SWarner Losh	working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default
861eb8831b9SWarner Losh	on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However,
862eb8831b9SWarner Losh	it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional
863eb8831b9SWarner Losh	way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for
864eb8831b9SWarner Losh	binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement
865eb8831b9SWarner Losh	will go away.
866eb8831b9SWarner Losh
8676f282e72SEd Maste	NOTE: As of r334391 lld is the default system linker on amd64, and no
8686f282e72SEd Maste	workaround is necessary.

87057b49365SSean Bruno20180508:
87157b49365SSean Bruno	The nxge(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was for PCI-X 10g
87282455a33SJens Schweikhardt	cards made by s2io/Neterion.  The company was acquired by Exar and
87357b49365SSean Bruno	no longer sells or supports Ethernet products.  If you have device

876ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps20180504:
877ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	The tz database (tzdb) has been updated to 2018e.  This version more
878ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	correctly models time stamps in time zones with negative DST such as
879ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and
880ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	Africa/Windhoek (1994/2017).  This does not affect the UT offsets, only
881ba3833a8SPhilip Paeps	time zone abbreviations and the tm_isdst flag.

8832695c9c1SSean Bruno20180502:
8842695c9c1SSean Bruno	The ixgb(4) driver has been removed.  This driver was for an early and
8852695c9c1SSean Bruno	uncommon legacy PCI 10GbE for a single ASIC, Intel 82597EX. Intel
8862695c9c1SSean Bruno	quickly shifted to the long lived ixgbe family.  If you have device
8872695c9c1SSean Bruno	ixgb in your kernel config file it must be removed.

889e6a376d1SEd Maste20180501:
890e6a376d1SEd Maste	The lmc(4) driver has been removed.  This was a WAN interface
891e6a376d1SEd Maste	card that was already reportedly rare in 2003, and had an ambiguous
892e6a376d1SEd Maste	license.  If you have device lmc in your kernel config file it must
893e6a376d1SEd Maste	be removed.
894e6a376d1SEd Maste
8953a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis20180413:
8963a4fc8a8SBrooks Davis	Support for Arcnet networks has been removed.  If you have device

9040437c8e3SBrooks Davis
9058129693eSEd Schouten20180406:
9068129693eSEd Schouten	In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the
9078129693eSEd Schouten	syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted
9088129693eSEd Schouten	log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients
9098129693eSEd Schouten	may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers,
9108129693eSEd Schouten	microseconds and time zone offsets.
9118129693eSEd Schouten
9128129693eSEd Schouten	Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to
9138129693eSEd Schouten	send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging
9148129693eSEd Schouten	daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no
9158129693eSEd Schouten	negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are
9168129693eSEd Schouten	updated at the same time. On systems using a different system
9178129693eSEd Schouten	logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration
9188129693eSEd Schouten	adjustments, depending on the software used.
9198129693eSEd Schouten
9208129693eSEd Schouten	When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local
9218129693eSEd Schouten	input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages:
9228129693eSEd Schouten
9238129693eSEd Schouten		source src {
9248129693eSEd Schouten			unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol));
9258129693eSEd Schouten		}
9268129693eSEd Schouten
9278129693eSEd Schouten	When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option
9288129693eSEd Schouten	of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the
9298129693eSEd Schouten	regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline:
9308129693eSEd Schouten
9318129693eSEd Schouten		module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off")
9328129693eSEd Schouten
9338129693eSEd Schouten	Do note that these changes only affect communication between local
9348129693eSEd Schouten	applications and syslogd(8). The format that syslogd(8) uses to
9358129693eSEd Schouten	store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems
9368129693eSEd Schouten	remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these
9378129693eSEd Schouten	purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the
9388129693eSEd Schouten	future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are
9398129693eSEd Schouten	thus expected to continue to function as before.
9408129693eSEd Schouten
9418129693eSEd Schouten	__FreeBSD_version has been incremented to 1200061 to denote this
9428129693eSEd Schouten	change.
9438129693eSEd Schouten
944c53b0251SBrooks Davis20180328:
94569f0fecbSBrooks Davis	Support for token ring networks has been removed. If you
94669f0fecbSBrooks Davis	have "device token" in your kernel config you should remove
94769f0fecbSBrooks Davis	it. No device drivers supported token ring.
94869f0fecbSBrooks Davis
94972bf324cSBenno Rice20180323:
95072bf324cSBenno Rice	makefs was modified to be able to tag ISO9660 El Torito boot catalog
95172bf324cSBenno Rice	entries as EFI instead of overloading the i386 tag as done previously.
95272bf324cSBenno Rice	The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for
95372bf324cSBenno Rice	release was updated to use this. This may mean that makefs must be
95472bf324cSBenno Rice	updated before "make cdrom" can be run in the release directory. This
95572bf324cSBenno Rice	should be as simple as:
95672bf324cSBenno Rice
95772bf324cSBenno Rice		$ cd $SRCDIR/usr.sbin/makefs

96382455a33SJens Schweikhardt	Co-existence for the transition period will come shortly. Booting is a
9647cafeaa1SWarner Losh	complex environment and test coverage for Lua-enabled loaders has been

1108992f1a8eSEnji Cooper20170814:
1109992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	"make check" behavior (made in ^/head@r295380) has been changed to
1110992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	execute from a limited sandbox, as opposed to executing from
1111992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	${TESTSDIR}.
1112992f1a8eSEnji Cooper
1113992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	Behavioral changes:
1114992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	- The "beforecheck" and "aftercheck" targets are now specified.
1115992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	- ${CHECKDIR} (added in commit noted above) has been removed.
1116992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	- Legacy behavior can be enabled by setting
1117992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	  WITHOUT_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX in src.conf(5) or the environment.
1118992f1a8eSEnji Cooper
1119992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	If the limited sandbox mode is enabled, "make check" will execute
1120992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	"make distribution", then install, execute the tests, and clean up the
1121992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	sandbox if successful.
1122992f1a8eSEnji Cooper
1123992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	The "make distribution" and "make install" targets are typically run as
1124992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	root to set appropriate permissions and ownership at installation time.
1125992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	The end-user should set "WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER" in src.conf(5) or the
1126992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	environment if executing "make check" with limited sandbox mode using
1127992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	an unprivileged user.

11292f401b0aSKirk McKusick20170808:
11302f401b0aSKirk McKusick	Since the switch to GPT disk labels, fsck for UFS/FFS has been
11312f401b0aSKirk McKusick	unable to automatically find alternate superblocks. As of r322297,
11322f401b0aSKirk McKusick	the information needed to find alternate superblocks has been
11332f401b0aSKirk McKusick	moved to the end of the area reserved for the boot block.
11342f401b0aSKirk McKusick	Filesystems created with a newfs of this vintage or later
11352f401b0aSKirk McKusick	will create the recovery information. If you have a filesystem
11362f401b0aSKirk McKusick	created prior to this change and wish to have a recovery block
11372f401b0aSKirk McKusick	created for your filesystem, you can do so by running fsck in
113844c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	foreground mode (i.e., do not use the -p or -y options). As it
11392f401b0aSKirk McKusick	starts, fsck will ask ``SAVE DATA TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS''
11402f401b0aSKirk McKusick	to which you should answer yes.

1158fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits20170625:
1159fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	The FreeBSD/powerpc platform now uses a 64-bit type for time_t.  This is
1160fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must
1161fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	be careful when performing source upgrades.  It is best to run
1162fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live
1163fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition.  Additionally, all ports
1164fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	must be recompiled.  powerpc64 is largely unaffected, except in the case
1165fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	of 32-bit compatibility.  All 32-bit binaries will be affected.
1166fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits
11679dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170623:
11685ab191c4SWarner Losh	Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This
11695ab191c4SWarner Losh	will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
11705ab191c4SWarner Losh	fashion.  This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
11715ab191c4SWarner Losh	upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
11725ab191c4SWarner Losh	the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
1173a28412b0SEd Maste	enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations.
11749dd39fd6SWarner Losh
11759dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170620:
11769dd39fd6SWarner Losh	Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler). Set WITH_GPL_DTC
11779dd39fd6SWarner Losh	if you require the GPL compiler.
11785ab191c4SWarner Losh
117933ecebd1SRick Macklem20170618:
118033ecebd1SRick Macklem	The internal ABI used for communication between the NFS kernel modules
118133ecebd1SRick Macklem	was changed by r320085, so __FreeBSD_version was bumped to
118233ecebd1SRick Macklem	ensure all the NFS related modules are updated together.

11849a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov20170617:
11859a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	The ABI of struct event was changed by extending the data
11869a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	member to 64bit and adding ext fields.  For upgrade, same
11879a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be
11889a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	followed.

1190472c2b48SEd Maste20170531:
1191472c2b48SEd Maste	The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base. To render manpages
1192472c2b48SEd Maste	which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff
1193472c2b48SEd Maste	from ports (and recommends to install it).
1194472c2b48SEd Maste	To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the

11989949595eSAdrian Chadd20170524:
11999949595eSAdrian Chadd	The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
12009949595eSAdrian Chadd	smaller runtime footprint builds.  This is useful for embedded systems
12019949595eSAdrian Chadd	which only require one chipset support.
12029949595eSAdrian Chadd
12039949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
12049949595eSAdrian Chadd
12059949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath_load="YES"
12069949595eSAdrian Chadd
12079949595eSAdrian Chadd	This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
12089949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
12099949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
12109949595eSAdrian Chadd
12119949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
12129949595eSAdrian Chadd	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
12139949595eSAdrian Chadd
12149949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_hal
12159949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load the chip modules in question
12169949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
12179949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_main
12189949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular

1223b149eba4SEd Maste20170523:
1224b149eba4SEd Maste	The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
1225dcfffd04SEd Maste	a number of types to 64 bits.  Upgrading in place requires care and
1226dcfffd04SEd Maste	adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
1227dcfffd04SEd Maste
1228dcfffd04SEd Maste	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
1229dcfffd04SEd Maste	COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
1230dcfffd04SEd Maste	system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
1231dcfffd04SEd Maste
1232dcfffd04SEd Maste	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
1233359d22d4SWarner Losh	artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*".  Then, carefully follow the full
1234359d22d4SWarner Losh	procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild everything and
1235359d22d4SWarner Losh	install it on the current system."  Specifically, a reboot is required
1236359d22d4SWarner Losh	after installing the new kernel before installing world. While an
1237359d22d4SWarner Losh	installworld normally works by accident from multiuser after rebooting
1238359d22d4SWarner Losh	the proper kernel, there are many cases where this will fail across this
1239359d22d4SWarner Losh	upgrade and installworld from single user is required.

12515810e45bSCy Schubert20170413:
12525810e45bSCy Schubert	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
12535810e45bSCy Schubert	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
12545810e45bSCy Schubert	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
1255a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
12565810e45bSCy Schubert	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
12575810e45bSCy Schubert	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
12580cad3ecaSCy Schubert	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
12595810e45bSCy Schubert
12601bf5e133SEd Maste20170407:
12611bf5e133SEd Maste	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
12621bf5e133SEd Maste	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be

1374bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	Use of the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd, or cc_vegas congestion control
1375bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	modules now requires that the kernel configuration contain the

1382bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar20160924:
1383bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
1384bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
1385bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file
1386bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	systems.  On those file systems, foo.So is the same file as foo.so.

141141029db1SRyan Stone	The UDP receive code has been updated to only treat incoming UDP
141241029db1SRyan Stone	packets that were addressed to an L2 broadcast address as L3
141341029db1SRyan Stone	broadcast packets.  It is not expected that this will affect any
141441029db1SRyan Stone	standards-conforming UDP application.  The new behaviour can be
141541029db1SRyan Stone	disabled by setting the sysctl net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast to

1425ddc2f805SBrooks Davis20160622:
1426678243ffSBrooks Davis	The libc stub for the pipe(2) system call has been replaced with
1427f0db8553SBrooks Davis	a wrapper that calls the pipe2(2) system call and the pipe(2)
1428f0db8553SBrooks Davis	system call is now only implemented by the kernels that include
1429f0db8553SBrooks Davis	"options COMPAT_FREEBSD10" in their config file (this is the
1430f0db8553SBrooks Davis	default).  Users should ensure that this option is enabled in
1431f0db8553SBrooks Davis	their kernel or upgrade userspace to r302092 before upgrading their
1432f0db8553SBrooks Davis	kernel.

1434583febf4SAlan Somers20160527:
1435583febf4SAlan Somers	CAM will now strip leading spaces from SCSI disks' serial numbers.
1436fb9b2ab1SBryan Drewery	This will affect users who create UFS filesystems on SCSI disks using
1437583febf4SAlan Somers	those disk's diskid device nodes.  For example, if /etc/fstab
1438583febf4SAlan Somers	previously contained a line like
1439583febf4SAlan Somers	"/dev/diskid/DISK-%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ABCDEFG0123456", you should
1440583febf4SAlan Somers	change it to "/dev/diskid/DISK-ABCDEFG0123456".  Users of geom
1441ab5d7fb1SAlan Somers	transforms like gmirror may also be affected.  ZFS users should
1442583febf4SAlan Somers	generally be fine.
1443583febf4SAlan Somers
14441b82e02fSAlan Somers20160523:
14451b82e02fSAlan Somers	The bitstring(3) API has been updated with new functionality and
14461b82e02fSAlan Somers	improved performance.  But it is binary-incompatible with the old API.
14471b82e02fSAlan Somers	Objects built with the new headers may not be linked against objects
14481b82e02fSAlan Somers	built with the old headers.

145094098ab7SAndrew Turner20160520:
145194098ab7SAndrew Turner	The brk and sbrk functions have been removed from libc on arm64.
145294098ab7SAndrew Turner	Binutils from ports has been updated to not link to these
145394098ab7SAndrew Turner	functions and should be updated to the latest version before
145494098ab7SAndrew Turner	installing a new libc.

14562c0e9e2aSWarner Losh20160517:
14572c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	The armv6 port now defaults to hard float ABI. Limited support
14582c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	for running both hardfloat and soft float on the same system
14592c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	is available using the libraries installed with -DWITH_LIBSOFT.
14602c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	This has only been tested as an upgrade path for installworld
14612c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	and packages may fail or need manual intervention to run. New

14685f0263c1SJohn Baldwin20160510:
14695f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	Kernel modules compiled outside of a kernel build now default to
14705f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	installing to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.  Many kernel
14715f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	modules built this way (such as those in ports) already overrode
14725f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	KMODDIR explicitly to install into /boot/modules.  However,
14735f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	manually building and installing a module from /sys/modules will
14745f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	now install to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.

147613694b35SWarner Losh20160414:
1477a1743365SWarner Losh	The CAM I/O scheduler has been committed to the kernel. There should be
1478a1743365SWarner Losh	no user visible impact. This does enable NCQ Trim on ada SSDs. While the
1479a1743365SWarner Losh	list of known rogues that claim support for this but actually corrupt
1480a1743365SWarner Losh	data is believed to be complete, be on the lookout for data
1481a1743365SWarner Losh	corruption. The known rogue list is believed to be complete:
1482a1743365SWarner Losh
1483a1743365SWarner Losh		o Crucial MX100, M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
1484a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M510 and M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
1485a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M500 prior to MU07 firmware
1486a1743365SWarner Losh		o Samsung 830, 840, and 850 all firmwares
1487a1743365SWarner Losh		o FCCT M500 all firmwares
1488a1743365SWarner Losh
1489a1743365SWarner Losh	Crucial has firmware http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware
1490a1743365SWarner Losh	with working NCQ TRIM. For Micron branded drives, see your sales rep for
1491a1743365SWarner Losh	updated firmware. Black listed drives will work correctly because these
1492a1743365SWarner Losh	drives work correctly so long as no NCQ TRIMs are sent to them. Given
1493a1743365SWarner Losh	this list is the same as found in Linux, it's believed there are no
1494a1743365SWarner Losh	other rogues in the market place. All other models from the above
1495a1743365SWarner Losh	vendors work.
1496a1743365SWarner Losh
1497a1743365SWarner Losh	To be safe, if you are at all concerned, you can quirk each of your
1498a1743365SWarner Losh	drives to prevent NCQ from being sent by setting:
1499a1743365SWarner Losh		kern.cam.ada.X.quirks="0x2"
1500a1743365SWarner Losh	in loader.conf. If the drive requires the 4k sector quirk, set the
1501a1743365SWarner Losh	quirks entry to 0x3.

1503497e8091SBryan Drewery20160330:
1504497e8091SBryan Drewery	The FAST_DEPEND build option has been removed and its functionality is
1505497e8091SBryan Drewery	now the one true way.  The old mkdep(1) style of 'make depend' has
1506497e8091SBryan Drewery	been removed.  See 20160311 for further details.
1507497e8091SBryan Drewery
1508da1b038aSJustin Hibbits20160317:
1509da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	Resource range types have grown from unsigned long to uintmax_t.  All
1510da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	drivers, and anything using libdevinfo, need to be recompiled.
1511da1b038aSJustin Hibbits
1512d783b170SBryan Drewery20160311:
1513d783b170SBryan Drewery	WITH_FAST_DEPEND is now enabled by default for in-tree and out-of-tree
1514d783b170SBryan Drewery	builds.  It no longer runs mkdep(1) during 'make depend', and the
1515d783b170SBryan Drewery	'make depend' stage can safely be skipped now as it is auto ran
1516d783b170SBryan Drewery	when building 'make all' and will generate all SRCS and DPSRCS before
1517d783b170SBryan Drewery	building anything else.  Dependencies are gathered at compile time with
1518d783b170SBryan Drewery	-MF flags kept in separate .depend files per object file.  Users should
1519d783b170SBryan Drewery	run 'make cleandepend' once if using -DNO_CLEAN to clean out older
1520d783b170SBryan Drewery	stale .depend files.

1522c834228bSDimitry Andric20160306:
1523c834228bSDimitry Andric	On amd64, clang 3.8.0 can now insert sections of type AMD64_UNWIND into
1524c834228bSDimitry Andric	kernel modules.  Therefore, if you load any kernel modules at boot time,
1525c834228bSDimitry Andric	please install the boot loaders after you install the kernel, but before
1526c834228bSDimitry Andric	rebooting, e.g.:
1527c834228bSDimitry Andric
1528c834228bSDimitry Andric	make buildworld
1529779f392bSJohn Baldwin	make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

1536c834228bSDimitry Andric
1537e74e149fSDimitry Andric20160305:
1538e74e149fSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb and compiler-rt have been upgraded to 3.8.0.  Please
1539e74e149fSDimitry Andric	see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and
1540e74e149fSDimitry Andric	upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.

15428b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin20160301:
15438b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	The AIO subsystem is now a standard part of the kernel.  The
15448b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	VFS_AIO kernel option and aio.ko kernel module have been removed.
15458b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	Due to stability concerns, asynchronous I/O requests are only
15468b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	permitted on sockets and raw disks by default.  To enable
15478b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	asynchronous I/O requests on all file types, set the
15488b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl to a non-zero value.
15498b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin
1550de463b29SEd Maste20160226:
1551ca8b902aSEd Maste	The ELF object manipulation tool objcopy is now provided by the
1552ca8b902aSEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain project rather than by GNU binutils. It should be a
1553ca8b902aSEd Maste	drop-in replacement, with the addition of arm64 support. The
1554ca8b902aSEd Maste	(temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set
1555ca8b902aSEd Maste	to obtain the GNU version if necessary.
1556ca8b902aSEd Maste
1557d4b9233aSAlan Somers20160129:
1558d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Building ZFS pools on top of zvols is prohibited by default.  That
1559d4b9233aSAlan Somers	feature has never worked safely; it's always been prone to deadlocks.
1560d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Using a zvol as the backing store for a VM guest's virtual disk will
1561d4b9233aSAlan Somers	still work, even if the guest is using ZFS.  Legacy behavior can be
1562d4b9233aSAlan Somers	restored by setting vfs.zfs.vol.recursive=1.

15683bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo20160113:
15693bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	With the addition of ypldap(8), a new _ypldap user is now required
15703bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add the user
15713bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
15723bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo
15734d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin20151216:
15744d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	The tftp loader (pxeboot) now uses the option root-path directive. As a
15754d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	consequence it no longer looks for a pxeboot.4th file on the tftp
15764d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	server. Instead it uses the regular /boot infrastructure as with the
15774d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	other loaders.
15784d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin
1579ca7e5285SWarner Losh20151211:
1580ca7e5285SWarner Losh	The code to start recording plug and play data into the modules has
1581ca7e5285SWarner Losh	been committed. While the old tools will properly build a new kernel,
1582ca7e5285SWarner Losh	a number of warnings about "unknown metadata record 4" will be produced
1583ca7e5285SWarner Losh	for an older kldxref. To avoid such warnings, make sure to rebuild
1584ca7e5285SWarner Losh	the kernel toolchain (or world). Make sure that you have r292078 or
1585ca7e5285SWarner Losh	later when trying to build 292077 or later before rebuilding.
1586ca7e5285SWarner Losh
1587015dfda6SEd Maste20151207:
1588015dfda6SEd Maste	Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
1589015dfda6SEd Maste	installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
1590015dfda6SEd Maste	requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
1591015dfda6SEd Maste	world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
1592015dfda6SEd Maste	in src.conf(5).
1593015dfda6SEd Maste
159433ba1088SRick Macklem20151130:
159533ba1088SRick Macklem	r291527 changed the internal interface between the nfsd.ko and
159633ba1088SRick Macklem	nfscommon.ko modules. As such, they must both be upgraded to-gether.
159733ba1088SRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.

1599af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin20151108:
1600af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	Add support for unicode collation strings leads to a change of
1601af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	order of files listed by ls(1) for example. To get back to the old
1602af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	behaviour, set LC_COLLATE environment variable to "C".

162156585ab5SBryan Drewery20151017:
162256585ab5SBryan Drewery	The build previously allowed using 'make -n' to not recurse into
162356585ab5SBryan Drewery	sub-directories while showing what commands would be executed, and
162456585ab5SBryan Drewery	'make -n -n' to recursively show commands.  Now 'make -n' will recurse

1631ff446b05SPeter Wemm	excluded sendmail.cf in mergemaster.rc or etcupdate.conf, you may
1632ff446b05SPeter Wemm	want to remove the exclusion or change it to "always install".

165005117b57SEd Maste	and renamed from .symbols to .debug. This reduces the size requirements
165105117b57SEd Maste	on the boot partition or file system and provides consistency with

16628ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	The wireless drivers had undergone changes that remove the 'parent

16648ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	used to check presence of a parent interface in the list, so old
16658ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	scripts would fail to start wireless networking. Thus, etcupdate(3)
16668ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	or mergemaster(8) run is required after kernel update, to update your

1675646041a8SMark Murray	Kernel-loadable modules for the random(4) device are back. To use
1676646041a8SMark Murray	them, the kernel must have

1695e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	The polarity of Pulse Per Second (PPS) capture events with the
1696e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	uart(4) driver has been corrected.  Prior to this change the PPS
1697e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	"assert" event corresponded to the trailing edge of a positive PPS
1698e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	pulse and the "clear" event was the leading edge of the next pulse.
1699e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1700e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	As the width of a PPS pulse in a typical GPS receiver is on the
1701e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	order of 1 millisecond, most users will not notice any significant
1702e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	difference with this change.
1703e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1704e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	Anyone who has compensated for the historical polarity reversal by
1705e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	configuring a negative offset equal to the pulse width will need to
1706e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	remove that workaround.

17261635369eSSteven Hartland20150728:
172768d5f492SSteven Hartland	As ZFS requires more kernel stack pages than is the default on some

1734ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro20150706:
1735ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail has been updated to 8.15.2.  Starting with FreeBSD 11.0
1736ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	and sendmail 8.15, sendmail uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by
1737ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	default, i.e., they will not contain "::".  For example, instead
1738ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	of ::1, it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1.  This permits a zero subnet
1739ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	to have a more specific match, such as different map entries for
1740ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0.  This change requires that configuration
1741ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	data (including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset, etc.) must
1742ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	use the same format, so make certain such configuration data is
1743ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	upgrading.  As a very simple check search for patterns like
1744ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'.  To return to the old
1745ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	behavior, set the m4 option confUSE_COMPRESSED_IPV6_ADDRESSES or
1746ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	the cf option UseCompressedIPv6Addresses.

1748d1b06863SMark Murray20150630:
1749d1b06863SMark Murray	The default kernel entropy-processing algorithm is now
1750d1b06863SMark Murray	Fortuna, replacing Yarrow.
17516f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1752d1b06863SMark Murray	Assuming you have 'device random' in your kernel config
1753d1b06863SMark Murray	file, the configurations allow a kernel option to override
1754d1b06863SMark Murray	this default. You may choose *ONE* of:
17556f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1756d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_YARROW	# Legacy /dev/random algorithm.
1757d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_DUMMY	# Blocking-only driver.
17586f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1759d1b06863SMark Murray	If you have neither, you get Fortuna.  For most people,
1760d1b06863SMark Murray	read no further, Fortuna will give a /dev/random that works
1761d1b06863SMark Murray	like it always used to, and the difference will be irrelevant.
17626f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1763d1b06863SMark Murray	If you remove 'device random', you get *NO* kernel-processed
176402dcb6e0SEitan Adler	entropy at all. This may be acceptable to folks building
1765d1b06863SMark Murray	embedded systems, but has complications. Carry on reading,
1766d1b06863SMark Murray	and it is assumed you know what you need.
1767d1b06863SMark Murray
1768d1b06863SMark Murray	*PLEASE* read random(4) and random(9) if you are in the
176902dcb6e0SEitan Adler	habit of tweaking kernel configs, and/or if you are a member
1770d1b06863SMark Murray	of the embedded community, wanting specific and not-usual
1771d1b06863SMark Murray	behaviour from your security subsystems.
1772d1b06863SMark Murray
1773d1b06863SMark Murray	NOTE!! If you use RANDOM_DUMMY and/or have no 'device
1774d1b06863SMark Murray	random', you will NOT have a functioning /dev/random, and
1775d1b06863SMark Murray	many cryptographic features will not work, including SSH.
1776d1b06863SMark Murray	You may also find strange behaviour from the random(3) set
1777d1b06863SMark Murray	of library functions, in particular sranddev(3), srandomdev(3)
1778d1b06863SMark Murray	and arc4random(3). The reason for this is that the KERN_ARND
1779d1b06863SMark Murray	sysctl only returns entropy if it thinks it has some to
1780d1b06863SMark Murray	share, and with RANDOM_DUMMY or no 'device random' this
1781d1b06863SMark Murray	will never happen.

1931143c11b4SDimitry Andric20141231:
1932143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm and lldb have been upgraded to 3.5.0 release.
1933143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19340ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	As of this release, a prerequisite for building clang, llvm and lldb is
19350ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	a C++11 capable compiler and C++11 standard library.  This means that to
1936143c11b4SDimitry Andric	be able to successfully build the cross-tools stage of buildworld, with
1937143c11b4SDimitry Andric	clang as the bootstrap compiler, your system compiler or cross compiler
1938143c11b4SDimitry Andric	should either be clang 3.3 or later, or gcc 4.8 or later, and your
1939143c11b4SDimitry Andric	system C++ library should be libc++, or libdstdc++ from gcc 4.8 or
1940143c11b4SDimitry Andric	later.
1941143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19420ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	On any standard FreeBSD 10.x or 11.x installation, where clang and
19430ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	libc++ are on by default (that is, on x86 or arm), this should work out
19440ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	of the box.
1945143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1946143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 9.x installations where clang is enabled by default, e.g. on x86 and
1947143c11b4SDimitry Andric	powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be
1948143c11b4SDimitry Andric	built (with clang) and installed first.  If both clang and libc++ are
1949143c11b4SDimitry Andric	missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++.
1950143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1951143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow
1952143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the instructions for 9.x above.
1953143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19540ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by
19550ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	default, and do not build clang.
19560ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
19570ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to
19580ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all.  In those
19590ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround.
19600ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
1961143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which
1962143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the following are most likely to appear:
1963143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1964143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wabsolute-value
1965143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1966143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This warns in two cases, for both C and C++:
1967143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned
1968143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was
1969143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  intended.  The code should be fixed, if at all possible.  If you are
1970143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without
1971143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit
1972143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  cast, or disable the warning.
1973143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1974143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called
1975143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation.
1976143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please
1977143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted
1978143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  side-effects.
1979143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1980143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wtautological-undefined-compare and
1981143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wundefined-bool-conversion
1982143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1983143c11b4SDimitry Andric	These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while
1984143c11b4SDimitry Andric	'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code.  However, there is
1985143c11b4SDimitry Andric	some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this
1986143c11b4SDimitry Andric	feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions.
1987143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1988143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Squid and openjdk do this, for example.  The warning can be turned off
1989143c11b4SDimitry Andric	for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result
1990143c11b4SDimitry Andric	in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are
1991143c11b4SDimitry Andric	unreachable could be optimized away.
1992143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19930b327b63SRick Macklem20141222:
19940b327b63SRick Macklem	The old NFS client and server (kernel options NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER)
19950b327b63SRick Macklem	kernel sources have been removed. The .h files remain, since some
19960b327b63SRick Macklem	utilities include them. This will need to be fixed later.
19970b327b63SRick Macklem	If "mount -t oldnfs ..." is attempted, it will fail.
19980b327b63SRick Macklem	If the "-o" option on mountd(8), nfsd(8) or nfsstat(1) is used,
19990b327b63SRick Macklem	the utilities will report errors.
20000b327b63SRick Macklem
20015f25ee9cSBrooks Davis20141121:
20025f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	The handling of LOCAL_LIB_DIRS has been altered to skip addition of
20035f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	directories to top level SUBDIR variable when their parent
20045f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	directory is included in LOCAL_DIRS.  Users with build systems with
20055f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	such hierarchies and without SUBDIR entries in the parent
20065f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	directory Makefiles should add them or add the directories to
20075f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	LOCAL_DIRS.

20132d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron20141104:
20142d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	vt(4), the new console driver, is enabled by default. It brings
20152d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	support for Unicode and double-width characters, as well as
20162d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	support for UEFI and integration with the KMS kernel video
20172d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	drivers.
20182d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
20192d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf,
20202d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	most probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will
20212d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	indicate what you need to do.
20222d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
20232d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to
20242d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	syscons(4). See the wiki for up-to-date information:
20252d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	  https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
20262d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
20272d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding

2053232490c6SNathan Whitehorn20140729:
2054232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	The ofwfb driver, used to provide a graphics console on PowerPC when
205574342541SChristian Brueffer	using vt(4), no longer allows mmap() of all physical memory. This
2056232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	will prevent Xorg on PowerPC with some ATI graphics cards from
2057232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	initializing properly unless x11-servers/xorg-server is updated to
2058232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	1.12.4_8 or newer.

209118aa7fccSRick Macklem	Commit r268115 has added NFSv4.1 server support, merged from
209218aa7fccSRick Macklem	projects/nfsv4.1-server.  Since this includes changes to the
209318aa7fccSRick Macklem	internal interfaces between the NFS related modules, a full
209418aa7fccSRick Macklem	build of the kernel and modules will be necessary.
209518aa7fccSRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped.

2097824a9093SEd Maste20140629:
2098824a9093SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_VT_SUPPORT kernel config knob has been renamed
2099824a9093SEd Maste	WITHOUT_VT.  (The other _SUPPORT knobs have a consistent meaning
2100824a9093SEd Maste	which differs from the behaviour controlled by this knob.)

210238b72f8cSAlexander Motin20140619:
210338b72f8cSAlexander Motin	Maximal length of the serial number in CTL was increased from 16 to
210438b72f8cSAlexander Motin	64 chars, that breaks ABI.  All CTL-related tools, such as ctladm
210538b72f8cSAlexander Motin	and ctld, need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
210638b72f8cSAlexander Motin
2107727a7ce8SJulio Merino20140606:
2108727a7ce8SJulio Merino	The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and
2109727a7ce8SJulio Merino	1 respectively to match the upstream numbers.  They were out of
2110727a7ce8SJulio Merino	sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the
2111727a7ce8SJulio Merino	upstream versions were not respected.  These libraries are private
2112727a7ce8SJulio Merino	and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a
2113727a7ce8SJulio Merino	non-issue.  However, unclean source trees will yield broken test
2114727a7ce8SJulio Merino	programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a
2115727a7ce8SJulio Merino	"make installworld".
2116727a7ce8SJulio Merino
21178c7ec47aSJulio Merino	Additionally, the atf-sh binary was made private by moving it into
21188c7ec47aSJulio Merino	/usr/libexec/.  Already-built shell test programs will keep the
21198c7ec47aSJulio Merino	path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old"
21208c7ec47aSJulio Merino	is run.
21218c7ec47aSJulio Merino
2122727a7ce8SJulio Merino	If you are using WITH_TESTS=yes (not the default), wipe the object
2123727a7ce8SJulio Merino	tree and rebuild from scratch to prevent spurious test failures.
21248c7ec47aSJulio Merino	This is only needed once: the misnumbered libraries and misplaced
21258c7ec47aSJulio Merino	binaries have been added to OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc so they will
21268c7ec47aSJulio Merino	be removed during a clean upgrade.
2127727a7ce8SJulio Merino
212885d60e68SDimitry Andric20140512:
212985d60e68SDimitry Andric	Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4.1 release.
213085d60e68SDimitry Andric
2131fa114234SWarner Losh20140508:
2132fa114234SWarner Losh	We bogusly installed src.opts.mk in /usr/share/mk. This file should
2133fa114234SWarner Losh	be removed to avoid issues in the future (and has been added to
2134fa114234SWarner Losh	ObsoleteFiles.inc).
2135fa114234SWarner Losh
2136a46954e2SWarner Losh20140505:
2137a46954e2SWarner Losh	/etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the
2138a46954e2SWarner Losh	past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old
2139a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this
2140a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf
2141a46954e2SWarner Losh	(which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the
2142a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual
214359a24370SWarner Losh	directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that.
2144a46954e2SWarner Losh	Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios,
214555b76981SWarner Losh	other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of
214655b76981SWarner Losh	temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld
214759a24370SWarner Losh	as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this
214859a24370SWarner Losh	setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree.
2149a46954e2SWarner Losh
2150bd871f14SWarner Losh	One side effect of all this cleaning up is that bsd.compiler.mk
2151bd871f14SWarner Losh	is no longer implicitly included by bsd.own.mk. If you wish to
2152bd871f14SWarner Losh	use COMPILER_TYPE, you must now explicitly include bsd.compiler.mk
2153bd871f14SWarner Losh	as well.

2159e9aba509SEnji Cooper20140424:
2160e9aba509SEnji Cooper	The knob WITHOUT_VI was added to the base system, which controls
2161e9aba509SEnji Cooper	building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1)

21754c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
21764c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	of the low-level console. Previously the uart(4) driver prevented
21774c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL
21784c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make
21794c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	changes to the serial console port without having to reboot.
21804c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is
21814c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal
21824c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact.
21834c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the
21844c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to
2185086036aaSMarcel Moolenaar	preserve the previous behaviour. E.g:
21864c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	    ttyu0  "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"  vt100  on  secure

22089f23d19aSDimitry Andric	An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
22099f23d19aSDimitry Andric	This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built
22109f23d19aSDimitry Andric	against the previous version of libc++ to crash.  The incompatibility
22119f23d19aSDimitry Andric	has now been fixed, but any C++ applications or shared libraries built

2232d7efee23SJulio Merino	If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile

22422773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.

22442773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	enctype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 or aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 will
22452773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	be different at the 17th octet and later, after this change.

2278a24eff53SWarner Losh	General Notes
2279a24eff53SWarner Losh	-------------
22805780f3baSWarner Losh	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
22815780f3baSWarner Losh	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
2282456b5dd8SWarner Losh	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
2283456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
2284456b5dd8SWarner Losh	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
228516ae8351SEd Maste	Occasionally a build failure will occur with "make -j" due to a race
228616ae8351SEd Maste	condition.  If this happens try building again without -j, and please
228716ae8351SEd Maste	report a bug if it happens consistently.
22885780f3baSWarner Losh
22895ad05815SWarner Losh	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
22905ad05815SWarner Losh	upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
22915ad05815SWarner Losh	do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
22925ad05815SWarner Losh	and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try this
22935ad05815SWarner Losh	approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade.  Since
229444c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from
22955ad05815SWarner Losh	anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
22965ad05815SWarner Losh	last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's
22975ad05815SWarner Losh	an exception.

229956cd269eSEd Maste	The update process will emit an error on an attempt to perform a build
230056cd269eSEd Maste	or install from a FreeBSD version below the earliest supported version.
230156cd269eSEd Maste	When updating from an older version the update should be performed one
230256cd269eSEd Maste	major release at a time, including running `make delete-old` at each
230356cd269eSEd Maste	step.

23056eeab389SWarner Losh	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before

23129c80b8aaSWarner Losh	Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be

23149c80b8aaSWarner Losh	older entries before relying on them blindly. Authors of new entries

23178fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
23188fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
23198fc25799SMartin Matuska	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
23208fc25799SMartin Matuska	these two steps:
23218fc25799SMartin Matuska
23228fc25799SMartin Matuska	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
23238fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
23248fc25799SMartin Matuska
23258fc25799SMartin Matuska	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
23268fc25799SMartin Matuska
2327d8e59012SColin Percival	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the
2328d8e59012SColin Percival	freebsd-boot partition of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
2329d8e59012SColin Percival	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i $N ada0"
2330d8e59012SColin Percival	The value $N will typically be 1 (if booting from BIOS) or 2 (if
2331d8e59012SColin Percival	booting from EFI).
23328fc25799SMartin Matuska
23338fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.

2413ba26da8eSWarner Losh
24141dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to

2420d2799054SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you should disable
2421d2799054SWarner Losh	them at this point so they don't crash your system on
2422d2799054SWarner Losh	reboot. Alternatively, you should rebuild all the modules you have in
2423d2799054SWarner Losh	your system and install them as well.  If you are running -current, you
2424d2799054SWarner Losh	should seriously consider placing all sources to all the modules for
2425d2799054SWarner Losh	your system (or symlinks to them) in /usr/local/sys/modules so this
2426d2799054SWarner Losh	happens automatically. If all your modules come from ports, then adding
2427d2799054SWarner Losh	the port origin directories to PORTS_MODULES instead is also automatic
2428d2799054SWarner Losh	and effective, eg:

2443a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
2444a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
2445a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
244650e8eca6SDoug Barton	for potential gotchas.  The -U option is also useful to consider.

244944c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	[5] Usually this step is a no-op.  However, from time to time
2450835284beSWarner Losh	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
2451835284beSWarner Losh	step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.  You may need to
2452835284beSWarner Losh	install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make
2453835284beSWarner Losh	install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
245420e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430.

245694877c06SAlexander Leidinger	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
245794877c06SAlexander Leidinger	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
245894877c06SAlexander Leidinger	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.

2460ed651a74SWarner Losh	[8] The new kernel must be able to run existing binaries used by an
2461ed651a74SWarner Losh	installworld.  When upgrading across major versions, the new kernel's
2462ed651a74SWarner Losh	configuration must include the correct COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> option for
2463ed651a74SWarner Losh	existing binaries (e.g. COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to run 11.x binaries).  Failure
2464ed651a74SWarner Losh	to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A
2465ed651a74SWarner Losh	GENERIC kernel will include suitable compatibility options to run
2466ed651a74SWarner Losh	binaries from older branches.  Note that the ability to run binaries
2467ed651a74SWarner Losh	from unsupported branches is not guaranteed.
2468c74fe6afSWarner Losh
2469e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
24708ed2d94aSWarner Losh	last time you updated your kernel config file. Options also
24718ed2d94aSWarner Losh	change over time, so you may need to adjust your custom kernels
24728ed2d94aSWarner Losh	for these as well.

2474e5f5a852SEitan Adler	[9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2475e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2476e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2477e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
2478e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2479e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
2480e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	warn if it is improperly defined.
