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*663dea3dSAndriy Gapon20130726:
35*663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	Behavior of devfs rules path matching has been changed.
36*663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	Pattern is now always matched against fully qualified devfs
37*663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	path and slash characters must be explicitly matched by
38*663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	slashes in pattern (FNM_PATHNAME). Rulesets involving devfs
39*663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	subdirectories must be reviewed.
40*663dea3dSAndriy Gapon
4146e95f64SAndrew Turner20130716:
4246e95f64SAndrew Turner	The default ARM ABI has changed to the ARM EABI. The old ABI is
4346e95f64SAndrew Turner	incompatible with the ARM EABI and all programs and modules will
4446e95f64SAndrew Turner	need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
4546e95f64SAndrew Turner
4646e95f64SAndrew Turner	To keep using the old ABI ensure the WITHOUT_ARM_EABI knob is set.
4746e95f64SAndrew Turner
4846e95f64SAndrew Turner	NOTE: Support for the old ABI will be removed in the future and
4946e95f64SAndrew Turner	users are advised to upgrade.
5046e95f64SAndrew Turner
51b40e2b6dSAndrey V. Elsukov20130709:
529b953f2cSBaptiste Daroussin	pkg_install has been disconnected from the build if you really need it
539b953f2cSBaptiste Daroussin	you should add WITH_PKGTOOLS in your src.conf(5).
549b953f2cSBaptiste Daroussin
559b953f2cSBaptiste Daroussin20130709:
56b40e2b6dSAndrey V. Elsukov	Most of network statistics structures were changed to be able
57b40e2b6dSAndrey V. Elsukov	keep 64-bits counters. Thus all tools, that work with networking
58aa011413SRui Paulo	statistics, must be rebuilt (netstat(1), bsnmpd(1), etc.)
59b40e2b6dSAndrey V. Elsukov
6003630b54SSimon J. Gerraty20130629:
6103630b54SSimon J. Gerraty	Fix targets that run multiple make's to use && rather than ;
6203630b54SSimon J. Gerraty	so that subsequent steps depend on success of previous.
6303630b54SSimon J. Gerraty
6403630b54SSimon J. Gerraty	NOTE: if building 'universe' with -j* on stable/8 or stable/9
6503630b54SSimon J. Gerraty	it would be better to start the build using bmake, to avoid
6603630b54SSimon J. Gerraty	overloading the machine.
6703630b54SSimon J. Gerraty
685b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav20130618:
695b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav	Fix a bug that allowed a tracing process (e.g. gdb) to write
705b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav	to a memory-mapped file in the traced process's address space
715b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav	even if neither the traced process nor the tracing process had
725b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav	write access to that file.
735b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav
741cbff2a9SEitan Adler20130615:
751cbff2a9SEitan Adler	CVS has been removed from the base system.  An exact copy
761cbff2a9SEitan Adler	of the code is available from the devel/cvs port.
771cbff2a9SEitan Adler
78ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty20130613:
79ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty	Some people report the following error after the switch to bmake:
80ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty
81ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty		make: illegal option -- J
82ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty		usage: make [-BPSXeiknpqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable]
83ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty			...
84ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty		*** [buildworld] Error code 2
85ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty
86ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty	this likely due to an old instance of make in
87ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty	${MAKEPATH} (${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/make.${MACHINE})
88ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty	which src/Makefile will use that blindly, if it exists, so if
89ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty	you see the above error:
90ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty
91ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty		rm -rf `make -V MAKEPATH`
92ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty
93ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty	should resolve it.
94ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty
95ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty20130516:
96ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	Use bmake by default.
97ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via
98ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	-DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old
99ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE.
100ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty
101ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command
102ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the
103ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	command line.  Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer
104ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent
105ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	behavior in parallel build.
106ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty
10732164d53SDag-Erling Smørgrav20130429:
10832164d53SDag-Erling Smørgrav        Fix a bug that allows NFS clients to issue READDIR on files.
10932164d53SDag-Erling Smørgrav
110562a9d58SSteven Hartland20130426:
111850163e4SEitan Adler	The WITHOUT_IDEA option has been removed because
112850163e4SEitan Adler	the IDEA patent expired.
113850163e4SEitan Adler
114850163e4SEitan Adler20130426:
115562a9d58SSteven Hartland	The sysctl which controls TRIM support under ZFS has been renamed
116562a9d58SSteven Hartland	from vfs.zfs.trim_disable -> vfs.zfs.trim.enabled and has been
117562a9d58SSteven Hartland	enabled by default.
118562a9d58SSteven Hartland
11920e0cc0aSBrooks Davis20130425:
12020e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	The mergemaster command now uses the default MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
12120e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	rather than creating it's own in the temporary directory in
12220e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	order allow access to bootstrapped versions of tools such as
12320e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	install and mtree.  When upgrading from version of FreeBSD where
12420e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	the install command does not support -l, you will need to
12520e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	install a new mergemaster command if mergemaster -p is required.
12620e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	This can be accomplished with the command (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster
12720e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	&& make install).
12820e0cc0aSBrooks Davis
1299a95a7caSAlexander Motin20130404:
1309a95a7caSAlexander Motin	Legacy ATA stack, disabled and replaced by new CAM-based one since
1319a95a7caSAlexander Motin	FreeBSD 9.0, completely removed from the sources.  Kernel modules
1329a95a7caSAlexander Motin	atadisk and atapi*, user-level tools atacontrol and burncd are
1339a95a7caSAlexander Motin	removed.  Kernel option `options ATA_CAM` is now permanently enabled
1349a95a7caSAlexander Motin	and removed.
1359a95a7caSAlexander Motin
1365ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker20130319:
1375ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker	SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK flags have been added to socket(2)
1385ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker	and socketpair(2). Software, in particular Kerberos, may
1395ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker	automatically detect and use these during building. The resulting
1405ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker	binaries will not work on older kernels.
1415ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker
142105421ffSMarius Strobl20130308:
143105421ffSMarius Strobl	CTL_DISABLE has also been added to the sparc64 GENERIC (for further
144105421ffSMarius Strobl	information, see the respective 20130304 entry).
145105421ffSMarius Strobl
1463a45b478SKenneth D. Merry20130304:
14723d44ab5SDavide Italiano	Recent commits to callout(9) changed the size of struct callout,
14823d44ab5SDavide Italiano	so the KBI is probably heavily disturbed. Also, some functions
14923d44ab5SDavide Italiano	in callout(9)/sleep(9)/sleepqueue(9)/condvar(9) KPIs were replaced
15023d44ab5SDavide Italiano	by macros. Every kernel module using it won't load, so rebuild
15123d44ab5SDavide Italiano	is requested.
15223d44ab5SDavide Italiano
1533a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	The ctl device has been re-enabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64,
1543a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	but does not initialize by default (because of the new CTL_DISABLE
1553a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	option) to save memory.  To re-enable it, remove the CTL_DISABLE
1563a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	option from the kernel config file or set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0
1573a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	in /boot/loader.conf.
1583a45b478SKenneth D. Merry
159fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd20130301:
160fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	The ctl device has been disabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64.
161fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	This was done due to the extra memory being allocated at system
162fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	initialisation time by the ctl driver which was only used if
163fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	a CAM target device was created.  This makes a FreeBSD system
164fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	unusable on 128MB or less of RAM.
165fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd
16620a011d5SXin LI20130208:
16720a011d5SXin LI	A new compression method (lz4) has been merged to -HEAD.  Please
16820a011d5SXin LI	refer to zpool-features(7) for more information.
16920a011d5SXin LI
17020a011d5SXin LI	Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
17120a011d5SXin LI	on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
17220a011d5SXin LI
1732dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan20130129:
1742dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed
1752dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch.
1762dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default,
1772dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild
1782d329593SGabor Kovesdan	and install world with the WITH_BSD_PATCH knob set.
1792dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan
180fe06cae7SBrooks Davis20130121:
181fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	Due to the use of the new -l option to install(1) during build
182fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	and install, you must take care not to directly set the INSTALL
183fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	make variable in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf, or on the
1848c5836c3SEitan Adler	command line.  If you wish to use the -C flag for all installs
185fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	you may be able to add INSTALL+=-C to /etc/make.conf or
186fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	/etc/src.conf.
187fe06cae7SBrooks Davis
188f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis20130118:
189f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an
190f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	argument that is a file or path to append logs to.  In the
191f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line
192f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	and the command line contained at least two files and a target
193f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	directory the first file will have logs appended to it.  The -M
1944cf5de80SGlen Barber	option served little practical purpose in the last decade so its
1954cf5de80SGlen Barber	use is expected to be extremely rare.
196f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis
1973fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon20121223:
1983fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon	After switching to Clang as the default compiler some users of ZFS
1993fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon	on i386 systems started to experience stack overflow kernel panics.
2003fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon	Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=4' in such configurations.
2013fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon
202efec959cSJaakko Heinonen20121222:
203efec959cSJaakko Heinonen	GEOM_LABEL now mangles label names read from file system metadata.
204efec959cSJaakko Heinonen	Mangling affect labels containing spaces, non-printable characters,
205efec959cSJaakko Heinonen	'%' or '"'. Device names in /etc/fstab and other places may need to
206efec959cSJaakko Heinonen	be updated.
207efec959cSJaakko Heinonen
20811631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek20121217:
20911631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek	By default, only the 10 most recent kernel dumps will be saved.  To
21011631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek	restore the previous behaviour (no limit on the number of kernel dumps
21111631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek	stored in the dump directory) add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
21211631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek
21311631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek		savecore_flags=""
21411631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek
215e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson20121201:
216e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson	With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
217e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson	depended on during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
218e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson	the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
219e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson
220b91dc775SHiroki Sato20121117:
221b91dc775SHiroki Sato	The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now
222b91dc775SHiroki Sato	filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via
223b91dc775SHiroki Sato	sysctl or routing socket.  This means the KAME-specific embedded scope
224b91dc775SHiroki Sato	id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application.
225b91dc775SHiroki Sato	This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid.
226b91dc775SHiroki Sato	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025.
227b91dc775SHiroki Sato
2285b6478b0SBrooks Davis20121105:
2295b6478b0SBrooks Davis	On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default.
2305b6478b0SBrooks Davis	This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang
2315b6478b0SBrooks Davis	and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++,
2325b6478b0SBrooks Davis	and /usr/bin/cpp.  To disable this behavior and revert to building
233da0e842aSWarner Losh	with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC. Really old versions
234da0e842aSWarner Losh	of current may need to bootstrap WITHOUT_CLANG first if the clang
235da0e842aSWarner Losh	build fails (its compatibility window doesn't extend to the 9 stable
236da0e842aSWarner Losh	branch point).
2375b6478b0SBrooks Davis
238ffdbf9daSAndrey V. Elsukov20121102:
239a971b547SAndrey V. Elsukov	The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD kernel option has been removed. Its
240ffdbf9daSAndrey V. Elsukov	functionality now turned on by default.
241a971b547SAndrey V. Elsukov
2428f134647SGleb Smirnoff20121023:
243cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	The ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option has been removed and
244cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	split into SOCKET_SEND_COW and SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP.
245cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	NB: SOCKET_SEND_COW uses the VM page based copy-on-write
246cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	mechanism which is not safe and may result in kernel crashes.
247cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	NB: The SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP mechanism is useless as no current
248cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	driver supports disposeable external page sized mbuf storage.
249cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	Proper replacements for both zero-copy mechanisms are under
250cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	consideration and will eventually lead to complete removal
251cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	of the two kernel options.
252cb69178dSAndre Oppermann
253cb69178dSAndre Oppermann20121023:
2548f134647SGleb Smirnoff	The IPv4 network stack has been converted to network byte
2558f134647SGleb Smirnoff	order. The following modules need to be recompiled together
2568f134647SGleb Smirnoff	with kernel: carp(4), divert(4), gif(4), siftr(4), gre(4),
2578f134647SGleb Smirnoff	pf(4), ipfw(4), ng_ipfw(4), stf(4).
2588f134647SGleb Smirnoff
2598859ec84SKonstantin Belousov20121022:
2608859ec84SKonstantin Belousov	Support for non-MPSAFE filesystems was removed from VFS. The
2618859ec84SKonstantin Belousov	VFS_VERSION was bumped, all filesystem modules shall be
2628859ec84SKonstantin Belousov	recompiled.
2638859ec84SKonstantin Belousov
264e053ead0SAttilio Rao20121018:
265e053ead0SAttilio Rao	All the non-MPSAFE filesystems have been disconnected from
266e053ead0SAttilio Rao	the build. The full list includes: codafs, hpfs, ntfs, nwfs,
267e053ead0SAttilio Rao	portalfs, smbfs, xfs.
268e053ead0SAttilio Rao
26942a58907SGleb Smirnoff20121016:
27042a58907SGleb Smirnoff	The interface cloning API and ABI has changed. The following
27142a58907SGleb Smirnoff	modules need to be recompiled together with kernel:
27242a58907SGleb Smirnoff	ipfw(4), pfsync(4), pflog(4), usb(4), wlan(4), stf(4),
27342a58907SGleb Smirnoff	vlan(4), disc(4), edsc(4), if_bridge(4), gif(4), tap(4),
27442a58907SGleb Smirnoff	faith(4), epair(4), enc(4), tun(4), if_lagg(4), gre(4).
27542a58907SGleb Smirnoff
276d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko20121015:
277d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	The sdhci driver was split in two parts: sdhci (generic SD Host
278d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	Controller logic) and sdhci_pci (actual hardware driver).
279d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	No kernel config modifications are required, but if you
280d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	load sdhc as a module you must switch to sdhci_pci instead.
281d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko
2825fe58019SAttilio Rao20121014:

285d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan20121013:
286d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan	The GNU sort(1) program has been removed since the BSD-licensed
287d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan	sort(1) has been the default for quite some time and no serious
288d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan	problems have been reported.  The corresponding WITH_GNU_SORT
28958b6d9a2SGabor Kovesdan	knob has also gone.

29121d172a3SGleb Smirnoff20121006:
29221d172a3SGleb Smirnoff	The pfil(9) API/ABI for AF_INET family has been changed. Packet
29321d172a3SGleb Smirnoff	filtering modules: pf(4), ipfw(4), ipfilter(4) need to be recompiled
29421d172a3SGleb Smirnoff	with new kernel.
29521d172a3SGleb Smirnoff
2967b81c83cSAdrian Chadd20121001:
2977b81c83cSAdrian Chadd	The net80211(4) ABI has been changed to allow for improved driver
2987b81c83cSAdrian Chadd	PS-POLL and power-save support.  All wireless drivers need to be
2997b81c83cSAdrian Chadd	recompiled to work with the new kernel.
3007b81c83cSAdrian Chadd
301d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov20120913:
302d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
303d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
304d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
305d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	needed.  The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
306d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
307d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	configurations.
308d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov
309d6d3f01eSGleb Smirnoff20120908:
310d6d3f01eSGleb Smirnoff	The pf(4) packet filter ABI has been changed. pfctl(8) and
311d6d3f01eSGleb Smirnoff	snmp_pf module need to be recompiled to work with new kernel.
312d6d3f01eSGleb Smirnoff
3136e767defSMartin Matuska20120828:
3146e767defSMartin Matuska	A new ZFS feature flag "com.delphix:empty_bpobj" has been merged
3156e767defSMartin Matuska	to -HEAD. Pools that have empty_bpobj in active state can not be
3166e767defSMartin Matuska	imported read-write with ZFS implementations that do not support
3176e767defSMartin Matuska	this feature. For more information read the zpool-features(5)

320614e3098SMarius Strobl20120727:
321614e3098SMarius Strobl	The sparc64 ZFS loader has been changed to no longer try to auto-
322614e3098SMarius Strobl	detect ZFS providers based on diskN aliases but now requires these
323614e3098SMarius Strobl	to be explicitly listed in the OFW boot-device environment variable.

3257e003b0aSChristian Brueffer20120712:
3261f13597dSJung-uk Kim	The OpenSSL has been upgraded to 1.0.1c.  Any binaries requiring
3271f13597dSJung-uk Kim	libcrypto.so.6 or libssl.so.6 must be recompiled.  Also, there are
3281f13597dSJung-uk Kim	configuration changes.  Make sure to merge /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.
3291f13597dSJung-uk Kim
3301f13597dSJung-uk Kim20120712:
3317e003b0aSChristian Brueffer	The following sysctls and tunables have been renamed for consistency
3327e003b0aSChristian Brueffer	with other variables:
3337e003b0aSChristian Brueffer	  kern.cam.da.da_send_ordered   -> kern.cam.da.send_ordered

336d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan20120628:
337d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	The sort utility has been replaced with BSD sort.  For now, GNU sort
338d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	is also available as "gnusort" or the default can be set back to
339d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	GNU sort by setting WITH_GNU_SORT.  In this case, BSD sort will be
340d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	installed as "bsdsort".
341d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan
3422d9cf57eSMartin Matuska20120611:
3432d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged to -HEAD.
3442d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
3452d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
3462d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
3472d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	pools. The first read-only compatible "feature flag" for ZFS pools
3482d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	is named "com.delphix:async_destroy". For more information
3492d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	read the new zpool-features(5) manual page.
3502d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
3512d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	on upgrading boot ZFS pools.

353d1675e38SJason Evans20120417:
354d1675e38SJason Evans	The malloc(3) implementation embedded in libc now uses sources imported
355d1675e38SJason Evans	as contrib/jemalloc.  The most disruptive API change is to
356d1675e38SJason Evans	/etc/malloc.conf.  If your system has an old-style /etc/malloc.conf,
357d1675e38SJason Evans	delete it prior to installworld, and optionally re-create it using the
358d1675e38SJason Evans	new format after rebooting.  See malloc.conf(5) for details
359d1675e38SJason Evans	(specifically the TUNING section and the "opt.*" entries in the MALLCTL
360d1675e38SJason Evans	NAMESPACE section).

36284db023eSJuli Mallett20120328:
36384db023eSJuli Mallett	Big-endian MIPS TARGET_ARCH values no longer end in "eb".  mips64eb
36484db023eSJuli Mallett	is now spelled mips64.  mipsn32eb is now spelled mipsn32.  mipseb is
36584db023eSJuli Mallett	now spelled mips.  This is to aid compatibility with third-party
36684db023eSJuli Mallett	software that expects this naming scheme in uname(3).  Little-endian
367474dbfb7SWarner Losh	settings are unchanged. If you are updating a big-endian mips64 machine
368474dbfb7SWarner Losh	from before this change, you may need to set MACHINE_ARCH=mips64 in
369474dbfb7SWarner Losh	your environment before the new build system will recognize your machine.
37084db023eSJuli Mallett
3719c170fd1SAttilio Rao20120306:
3729c170fd1SAttilio Rao	Disable by default the option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE for all supported
3739c170fd1SAttilio Rao	platforms.
3749c170fd1SAttilio Rao
375c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub20120229:
376c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	Now unix domain sockets behave "as expected" on	nullfs(5). Previously
377c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	nullfs(5) did not pass through all behaviours to the underlying layer,
378c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	as a result if we bound to a socket on the lower layer we could connect
379c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	only to the lower path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect
380c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	only to	the upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the
381c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	lower and the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.
382c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub
383ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb20120211:
384ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	The getifaddrs upgrade path broken with 20111215 has been restored.
385ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	If you have upgraded in between 20111215 and 20120209 you need to
386ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	recompile libc again with your kernel.  You still need to recompile
387ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	world to be able to configure CARP but this restriction already
388ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	comes from 20111215.
389ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb
390e0e0f25bSDoug Barton20120114:
391e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	The set_rcvar() function has been removed from /etc/rc.subr.  All
392e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	base and ports rc.d scripts have been updated, so if you have a
393e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	port installed with a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d you can either
394e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	hand-edit the rcvar= line, or reinstall the port.
395e0e0f25bSDoug Barton
3965d482324SDoug Barton	An easy way to handle the mass-update of /etc/rc.d:
3975d482324SDoug Barton	rm /etc/rc.d/* && mergemaster -i

39990d82653SAndriy Gapon20120109:
40090d82653SAndriy Gapon	panic(9) now stops other CPUs in the SMP systems, disables interrupts
40190d82653SAndriy Gapon	on the current CPU and prevents other threads from running.
40290d82653SAndriy Gapon	This behavior can be reverted using the kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic
40390d82653SAndriy Gapon	tunable/sysctl.
40490d82653SAndriy Gapon	The new behavior can be incompatible with kern.sync_on_panic.
40590d82653SAndriy Gapon
40608b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff20111215:
40708b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	The carp(4) facility has been changed significantly. Configuration
40808b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	of the CARP protocol via ifconfig(8) has changed, as well as format
40908b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	of CARP events submitted to devd(8) has changed. See manual pages
41008b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	for more information. The arpbalance feature of carp(4) is currently
41108b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	not supported anymore.
41208b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff
41308b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	Size of struct in_aliasreq, struct in6_aliasreq has changed. User
41408b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	utilities using SIOCAIFADDR, SIOCAIFADDR_IN6, e.g. ifconfig(8),
41508b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	need to be recompiled.

420d5d131eeSJaakko Heinonen
421ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao20111108:
422ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao	The option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE option has been added in order to
423ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao	explicitely support non-MPSAFE filesystems.
424ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao	It is on by default for all supported platform at this present
425ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao	time.
426ed1f6dc2SAttilio Rao
427a9ab459bSMarius Strobl20111101:
428a9ab459bSMarius Strobl	The broken amd(4) driver has been replaced with esp(4) in the amd64,
429a9ab459bSMarius Strobl	i386 and pc98 GENERIC kernel configuration files.

4348a3b6cc1SKen Smith20110923:
4358a3b6cc1SKen Smith	The stable/9 branch created in subversion.  This corresponds to the
4368a3b6cc1SKen Smith	RELENG_9 branch in CVS.
4378a3b6cc1SKen Smith
4384d30adc4SRick Macklem20110913:
4394d30adc4SRick Macklem	This commit modifies vfs_register() so that it uses a hash
4404d30adc4SRick Macklem	calculation to set vfc_typenum, which is enabled by default.
4414d30adc4SRick Macklem	The first time a system is booted after this change, the
4424d30adc4SRick Macklem	vfc_typenum values will change for all file systems. The
4434d30adc4SRick Macklem	main effect of this is a change to the NFS server file handles
4444d30adc4SRick Macklem	for file systems that use vfc_typenum in their fsid, such as ZFS.
4454d30adc4SRick Macklem	It will, however, prevent vfc_typenum from changing when file
4464d30adc4SRick Macklem	systems are loaded in a different order for subsequent reboots.
4474d30adc4SRick Macklem	To disable this, you can set vfs.typenumhash=0 in /boot/loader.conf
4484d30adc4SRick Macklem	until you are ready to remount all NFS clients after a reboot.
4494d30adc4SRick Macklem
4507596eb48SKonstantin Belousov20110828:
4517596eb48SKonstantin Belousov	Bump the shared library version numbers for libraries that
4527596eb48SKonstantin Belousov	do not use symbol versioning, have changed the ABI compared
4537596eb48SKonstantin Belousov	to stable/8 and which shared library version was not bumped.
4547596eb48SKonstantin Belousov	Done as part of 9.0-RELEASE cycle.

45674d0c46dSRobert Watson20110815:
45774d0c46dSRobert Watson	During the merge of Capsicum features, the fget(9) KPI was modified.
45874d0c46dSRobert Watson	This may require the rebuilding of out-of-tree device drivers --
45974d0c46dSRobert Watson	issues have been reported specifically with the nVidia device driver.
46074d0c46dSRobert Watson	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 900041.
46174d0c46dSRobert Watson
46274d0c46dSRobert Watson	Also, there is a period between 20110811 and 20110814 where the
46374d0c46dSRobert Watson	special devices /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} did not work correctly.
46474d0c46dSRobert Watson	Building world from a kernel during that window may not work.

466e0bfbfceSBjoern A. Zeeb20110628:
467e0bfbfceSBjoern A. Zeeb	The packet filter (pf) code has been updated to OpenBSD 4.5.
468e0bfbfceSBjoern A. Zeeb	You need to update userland tools to be in sync with kernel.
46970d57756SBjoern A. Zeeb	This update breaks backward compatibility with earlier pfsync(4)
47070d57756SBjoern A. Zeeb	versions.  Care must be taken when updating redundant firewall setups.
471e0bfbfceSBjoern A. Zeeb
472234dab4aSAndriy Gapon20110608:
473234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	The following sysctls and tunables are retired on x86 platforms:
474234dab4aSAndriy Gapon		machdep.hlt_cpus
475234dab4aSAndriy Gapon		machdep.hlt_logical_cpus
476234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	The following sysctl is retired:
477234dab4aSAndriy Gapon		machdep.hyperthreading_allowed
478234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	The sysctls were supposed to provide a way to dynamically offline and
479234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	online selected CPUs on x86 platforms, but the implementation has not
480234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	been reliable especially with SCHED_ULE scheduler.
481234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	machdep.hyperthreading_allowed tunable is still available to ignore
482234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	hyperthreading CPUs at OS level.
483234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	Individual CPUs can be disabled using hint.lapic.X.disabled tunable,
484234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	where X is an APIC ID of a CPU.  Be advised, though, that disabling
485234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	CPUs in non-uniform fashion will result in non-uniform topology and
486234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	may lead to sub-optimal system performance with SCHED_ULE, which is
487234dab4aSAndriy Gapon	a default scheduler.

493ec49fe39SBjoern A. Zeeb20110531:
494ec49fe39SBjoern A. Zeeb	Changes to ifconfig(8) for dynamic address family detection mandate
495ec49fe39SBjoern A. Zeeb	that you are running a kernel of 20110525 or later.  Make sure to

5024a58ecccSMarius Strobl20110503:
5034a58ecccSMarius Strobl	Several KPI breaking changes have been committed to the mii(4) layer,
5044a58ecccSMarius Strobl	the PHY drivers and consequently some Ethernet drivers using mii(4).
5054a58ecccSMarius Strobl	This means that miibus.ko and the modules of the affected Ethernet
5064a58ecccSMarius Strobl	drivers need to be recompiled.
5074a58ecccSMarius Strobl
5084a58ecccSMarius Strobl	Note to kernel developers: Given that the OUI bit reversion problem
5094a58ecccSMarius Strobl	was fixed as part of these changes all mii(4) commits related to OUIs,
5104a58ecccSMarius Strobl	i.e. to sys/dev/mii/miidevs, PHY driver probing and vendor specific
5114a58ecccSMarius Strobl	handling, no longer can be merged verbatim to stable/8 and previous
5124a58ecccSMarius Strobl	branches.

514f9dfbfa1SAdrian Chadd20110430:
515f9dfbfa1SAdrian Chadd	Users of the Atheros AR71xx SoC code now need to add 'device ar71xx_pci'
516f9dfbfa1SAdrian Chadd	into their kernel configurations along with 'device pci'.
517f9dfbfa1SAdrian Chadd
5184309e17aSRick Macklem20110427:
5194309e17aSRick Macklem	The default NFS client is now the new NFS client, so fstype "newnfs"
5204309e17aSRick Macklem	is now "nfs" and the regular/old NFS client is now fstype "oldnfs".
5214309e17aSRick Macklem	Although mounts via fstype "nfs" will usually work without userland
5224309e17aSRick Macklem	changes, it is recommended that the mount(8) and mount_nfs(8)
5234309e17aSRick Macklem	commands be rebuilt from sources and that a link to mount_nfs called
5244309e17aSRick Macklem	mount_oldnfs be created. The new client is compiled into the
5254309e17aSRick Macklem	kernel with "options NFSCL" and this is needed for diskless root
5264309e17aSRick Macklem	file systems. The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use
5274309e17aSRick Macklem	NFSCL and NFSD (the new server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER.
5284309e17aSRick Macklem	To use the regular/old client, you can "mount -t oldnfs ...". For
5294309e17aSRick Macklem	a diskless root file system, you must also include a line like:
5304309e17aSRick Macklem
5314309e17aSRick Macklem	vfs.root.mountfrom="oldnfs:"
5324309e17aSRick Macklem
5334309e17aSRick Macklem	in the boot/loader.conf on the root fs on the NFS server to make
5344309e17aSRick Macklem	a diskless root fs use the old client.
5354309e17aSRick Macklem
53697b53e36SAlexander Motin20110424:
53797b53e36SAlexander Motin	The GENERIC kernels for all architectures now default to the new
53897b53e36SAlexander Motin	CAM-based ATA stack. It means that all legacy ATA drivers were
53997b53e36SAlexander Motin	removed and replaced by respective CAM drivers. If you are using
54097b53e36SAlexander Motin	ATA device names in /etc/fstab or other places, make sure to update
54197b53e36SAlexander Motin	them respectively (adX -> adaY, acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY,
542ddfddf12SAlexander Motin	where 'Y's are the sequential numbers starting from zero for each type
543ddfddf12SAlexander Motin	in order of detection, unless configured otherwise with tunables,
5440d307e09SAlexander Motin	see cam(4)). There will be symbolic links created in /dev/ to map
5450d307e09SAlexander Motin	old adX devices to the respective adaY. They should provide basic
5460d307e09SAlexander Motin	compatibility for file systems mounting in most cases, but they do
5470d307e09SAlexander Motin	not support old user-level APIs and do not have respective providers
5480d307e09SAlexander Motin	in GEOM. Consider using updated management tools with new device names.
5490d307e09SAlexander Motin
5500d307e09SAlexander Motin	It is possible to load devices ahci, ata, siis and mvs as modules,
5510d307e09SAlexander Motin	but option ATA_CAM should remain in kernel configuration to make ata
5520d307e09SAlexander Motin	module work as CAM driver supporting legacy ATA controllers. Device ata
5530d307e09SAlexander Motin	still can be used in modular fashion (atacore + ...). Modules atadisk
5540d307e09SAlexander Motin	and atapi* are not used and won't affect operation in ATA_CAM mode.
5555d4ac622SAlexander Motin	Note that to use CAM-based ATA kernel should include CAM devices

55997b53e36SAlexander Motin	ataraid(4) functionality is now supported by the RAID GEOM class.
56097b53e36SAlexander Motin	To use it you can load geom_raid kernel module and use graid(8) tool

607ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	is the last available version under GPLv2.  It brings a number of new
608ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	features, such as support for newer x86 CPU's (with SSE-3, SSSE-3, SSE
609ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	4.1 and SSE 4.2), better support for powerpc64, a number of new
610ce8fb931SDimitry Andric	directives, and lots of other small improvements.  See the ChangeLog

61476f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	IPsec's HMAC_SHA256-512 support has been fixed to be RFC4868
61576f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	compliant, and will now use half of hash for authentication.
61676f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	This will break interoperability with all stacks (including all
61776f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	actual FreeBSD versions) who implement
61876f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	draft-ietf-ipsec-ciph-sha-256-00 (they use 96 bits of hash for
61976f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	authentication).
62076f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan	The only workaround with such peers is to use another HMAC

6404c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn	with the previous version, but the libdialog associated with it has
6414c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn	a largely incompatible API. As such, the original version of libdialog
6424c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn	will be kept temporarily as libodialog, until its base system consumers

66139bc9de5SLawrence Stewart	The TCP stack has been modified to allow Khelp modules to interact with
66239bc9de5SLawrence Stewart	it via helper hook points and store per-connection data in the TCP
66339bc9de5SLawrence Stewart	control block. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900029. User space tools that

667efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl20101114:
668efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	Generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control support has been
669efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	added to mii(4) and bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along
670efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy() have been converted
671efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	to take advantage of it instead of using custom implementations.  This
672efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	means that these drivers now no longer unconditionally advertise
673efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	support for flow control but only do so if flow control is a selected
674efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	media option.  This was implemented in the generic support that way in
675efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	order to allow flow control to be switched on and off via ifconfig(8)
676efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	with the PHY specific default to typically off in order to protect
677efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	from unwanted effects.  Consequently, if you used flow control with
678efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	one of the above mentioned drivers you now need to explicitly enable
679efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	it, for example via:
680efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl		ifconfig bge0 media auto mediaopt flowcontrol
681efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl
682efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	Along with the above mentioned changes generic support for setting
683efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	1000baseT master mode also has been added and brgphy(4), ciphy(4),
684efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy(4) have been converted to take
685efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	advantage of it.  This means that these drivers now no longer take the
686efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	link0 parameter for selecting master mode but the master media option
687efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	has to be used instead, for example like in the following:
688efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl		ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master
689efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl
690efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	Selection of master mode now is also available with all other PHY
691efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl	drivers supporting 1000baseT.

697dbc42409SLawrence Stewart	space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g.

711f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon	A workaround for a fixed ld bug has been removed in kernel code,
712f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon	so make sure that your system ld is built from sources after
713130a0815SAndriy Gapon	revision 210245 from 2010-07-19 (r211583 if building head kernel
714130a0815SAndriy Gapon	on stable/8, r211584 for stable/7; both from 2010-08-21).
715130a0815SAndriy Gapon	A symptom of incorrect ld version is different addresses for

719d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	The $ipv6_prefer variable in rc.conf(5) has been split into
720d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	$ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
721d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato
722d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined
723d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	address selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8).  A value
724d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	"ipv4_prefer", "ipv6_prefer" or "AUTO" can be specified.  The
725d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	default is "AUTO".
726d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato
727d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	The $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces specifies whether IFDISABLED
728d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	flag (see an entry of 20090926) is set on an interface with no
729d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line.  The default is "NO" for
730d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	security reason.  If you want IPv6 link-local address on all
731d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	interfaces by default, set this to "YES".
732d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato
733d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	The old ipv6_prefer="YES" is equivalent to
734d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" and
735d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato	ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer".

740d69eb520SRui Paulo	dtruss(1) is now installed by default on those systems and a new
741d69eb520SRui Paulo	kernel module is needed for userland tracing: fasttrap.
742d69eb520SRui Paulo	No changes to your kernel config file are necessary to enable
743d69eb520SRui Paulo	userland tracing, but you might consider adding 'STRIP=' and
744d69eb520SRui Paulo	'CFLAGS+=-fno-omit-frame-pointer' to your make.conf if you want

7524dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	BSD grep has been imported to the base system and it is built by
7534dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	default.  It is completely BSD licensed, highly GNU-compatible, uses
7544dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	less memory than its GNU counterpart and has a small codebase.
7554dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	However, it is slower than its GNU counterpart, which is mostly
7564dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	noticeable for larger searches, for smaller ones it is measurable
7574dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	but not significant.  The reason is complex, the most important factor
7584dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	is that we lack a modern and efficient regex library and GNU
7594dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	overcomes this by optimizing the searches internally.  Future work
7604dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	on improving the regex performance is planned, for the meantime,
7614dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	users that need better performance, can build GNU grep instead by
7624dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan	setting the WITH_GNU_GREP knob.

804279d8efeSEd Schouten	the user accounting interface standardized by POSIX.
805279d8efeSEd Schouten	Unfortunately the semantics of utmp and utmpx don't match,
806279d8efeSEd Schouten	making it practically impossible to support both interfaces.
807279d8efeSEd Schouten	The user accounting database is used by tools like finger(1),

809279d8efeSEd Schouten
810279d8efeSEd Schouten	All applications in the base system use utmpx.  This means only
811279d8efeSEd Schouten	local binaries (e.g. from the ports tree) may still use these
812279d8efeSEd Schouten	utmp database files.  These applications must be rebuilt to make
813279d8efeSEd Schouten	use of utmpx.
814279d8efeSEd Schouten
815279d8efeSEd Schouten	After the system has been upgraded, it is safe to remove the old

827f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO	The rc.firewall and rc.firewall6 were unified, and
828f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO	rc.firewall6 and rc.d/ip6fw were removed.
829f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO	According to the removal of rc.d/ip6fw, ipv6_firewall_* rc
830f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO	variables are obsoleted.  Instead, the following new rc
831f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO	variables are added to rc.d/ipfw:
832f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO
833f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO		firewall_client_net_ipv6, firewall_simple_iif_ipv6,
834f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO		firewall_simple_inet_ipv6, firewall_simple_oif_ipv6,

842e42fc368SEd Schouten20091113:
843e42fc368SEd Schouten	The default terminal emulation for syscons(4) has been changed
8444b2361f8SEd Schouten	from cons25 to xterm on all platforms except pc98.  This means
8454b2361f8SEd Schouten	that the /etc/ttys file needs to be updated to ensure correct
8464b2361f8SEd Schouten	operation of applications on the console.
847e42fc368SEd Schouten
848e42fc368SEd Schouten	The terminal emulation style can be toggled per window by using
8494b2361f8SEd Schouten	vidcontrol(1)'s -T flag.  The TEKEN_CONS25 kernel configuration
8504b2361f8SEd Schouten	options can be used to change the compile-time default back to
8514b2361f8SEd Schouten	cons25.
852e42fc368SEd Schouten
853e42fc368SEd Schouten	To prevent graphical artifacts, make sure the TERM environment
854e42fc368SEd Schouten	variable is set to match the terminal emulation that is being
855e42fc368SEd Schouten	performed by syscons(4).

85707ddebb5SRui Paulo20091109:
85807ddebb5SRui Paulo	The layout of the structure ieee80211req_scan_result has changed.
85907ddebb5SRui Paulo	Applications that require wireless scan results (e.g. ifconfig(8))
86007ddebb5SRui Paulo	from net80211 need to be recompiled.
86107ddebb5SRui Paulo
86296b4300cSDoug Barton	Applications such as wpa_supplicant(8) may require a full world
86396b4300cSDoug Barton	build without using NO_CLEAN in order to get synchronized with the

86663b49c2bSRui Paulo20091025:
86763b49c2bSRui Paulo	The iwn(4) driver has been updated to support the 5000 and 5150 series.
86863b49c2bSRui Paulo	There's one kernel module for each firmware. Adding "device iwnfw"
86963b49c2bSRui Paulo	to the kernel configuration file means including all three firmware
87063b49c2bSRui Paulo	images inside the kernel. If you want to include just the one for
87136daf049SEitan Adler	your wireless card, use the devices iwn4965fw, iwn5000fw or
87263b49c2bSRui Paulo	iwn5150fw.

8742e77c5abSHiroki Sato20090926:
8752e77c5abSHiroki Sato	The rc.d/network_ipv6, IPv6 configuration script has been integrated
8762e77c5abSHiroki Sato	into rc.d/netif.  The changes are the following:
8772e77c5abSHiroki Sato
8782e77c5abSHiroki Sato	1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF
8792e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   for IPv4.  For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used.
8802e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head.
8812e77c5abSHiroki Sato
8822e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not
8832e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   understand what you are doing.  It is not needed in most cases.
8842e77c5abSHiroki Sato
8852e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but
8862e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   they are obsolete.
8872e77c5abSHiroki Sato
8882e77c5abSHiroki Sato	2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete.  Use $ipv6_prefer and
8892e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead.
8902e77c5abSHiroki Sato
8912e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and
8922e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the
8932e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   $ifconfig_IF_ipv6.  These are for backward compatibility.
8942e77c5abSHiroki Sato
8952e77c5abSHiroki Sato	3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added.  If NO, IPv6
8962e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   functionality of interfaces with no corresponding
8972e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag,
8982e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8)
8992e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details).
9002e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the
9012e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by
9022e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   using ifconfig(8) like:
9032e77c5abSHiroki Sato
9042e77c5abSHiroki Sato		ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled
9052e77c5abSHiroki Sato
9062e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   If YES, the default address selection policy is set as
9072e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   IPv6-preferred.
9082e77c5abSHiroki Sato
9092e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO.
9102e77c5abSHiroki Sato
9112e77c5abSHiroki Sato	4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages,
9122e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6.  The rc(8)
9132e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes
9142e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   UP.  The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC
9152e77c5abSHiroki Sato	   (State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).
9162e77c5abSHiroki Sato
917350036a0SRui Paulo20090922:
918350036a0SRui Paulo	802.11s D3.03 support was committed. This is incompatible with the
919350036a0SRui Paulo	previous code, which was based on D3.0.
920350036a0SRui Paulo
9212e77c5abSHiroki Sato20090912:
9222e77c5abSHiroki Sato	A sysctl variable net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv now sets the default value
9232e77c5abSHiroki Sato	of a per-interface flag ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV, not a global knob to
9242e77c5abSHiroki Sato	control whether accepting Router Advertisement messages or not.
9252e77c5abSHiroki Sato	Also, a per-interface flag ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL has been added and
9262e77c5abSHiroki Sato	a sysctl variable net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal is its default value.
9272e77c5abSHiroki Sato	The ifconfig(8) utility now supports these flags.
9282e77c5abSHiroki Sato
92963e1d3dfSPawel Jakub Dawidek20090910:
93063e1d3dfSPawel Jakub Dawidek	ZFS snapshots are now mounted with MNT_IGNORE flag. Use -v option for
93163e1d3dfSPawel Jakub Dawidek	mount(8) and -a option for df(1) to see them.
93263e1d3dfSPawel Jakub Dawidek
933411c7658SWarner Losh20090825:
934411c7658SWarner Losh	The old tunable hw.bus.devctl_disable has been superseded by
935411c7658SWarner Losh	hw.bus.devctl_queue.  hw.bus.devctl_disable=1 in loader.conf should be
936411c7658SWarner Losh	replaced by hw.bus.devctl_queue=0.  The default for this new tunable
937411c7658SWarner Losh	is 1000.
938411c7658SWarner Losh
939dc6fbf65SAttilio Rao20090813:
940456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Remove the option STOP_NMI.  The default action is now to use NMI only
941456b5dd8SWarner Losh	for KDB via the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and
942456b5dd8SWarner Losh	maintain stop_cpus() to just use a normal IPI_STOP on ia32 and amd64.
943456b5dd8SWarner Losh
944456b5dd8SWarner Losh20090803:
945f6a4f4b5SWarner Losh	The stable/8 branch created in subversion.  This corresponds to the
946f6a4f4b5SWarner Losh	RELENG_8 branch in CVS.
947dc6fbf65SAttilio Rao
9483ca3047aSKen Smith20090719:
949456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Bump the shared library version numbers for all libraries that do not
950456b5dd8SWarner Losh	use symbol versioning as part of the 8.0-RELEASE cycle.  Bump
951456b5dd8SWarner Losh	__FreeBSD_version to 800105.
9523ca3047aSKen Smith
953eddfbb76SRobert Watson20090714:
954456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Due to changes in the implementation of virtual network stack support,
955456b5dd8SWarner Losh	all network-related kernel modules must be recompiled.  As this change
956456b5dd8SWarner Losh	breaks the ABI, bump __FreeBSD_version to 800104.
957eddfbb76SRobert Watson
958237fbe0aSLawrence Stewart20090713:
959456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The TOE interface to the TCP syncache has been modified to remove
960456b5dd8SWarner Losh	struct tcpopt (<netinet/tcp_var.h>) from the ABI of the network stack.
961456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The cxgb driver is the only TOE consumer affected by this change, and
962456b5dd8SWarner Losh	needs to be recompiled along with the kernel. As this change breaks
963456b5dd8SWarner Losh	the ABI, bump __FreeBSD_version to 800103.
964237fbe0aSLawrence Stewart
965962ebef8SLawrence Stewart20090712:
966962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	Padding has been added to struct tcpcb, sackhint and tcpstat in
967962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	<netinet/tcp_var.h> to facilitate future MFCs and bug fixes whilst
9681733d35cSRuslan Ermilov	maintaining the ABI. However, this change breaks the ABI, so bump
969962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	__FreeBSD_version to 800102. User space tools that rely on the size of
970962ebef8SLawrence Stewart	any of these structs (e.g. sockstat) need to be recompiled.
971962ebef8SLawrence Stewart
972bab42aadSDoug Rabson20090630:
973456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The NFS_LEGACYRPC option has been removed along with the old kernel
974456b5dd8SWarner Losh	RPC implementation that this option selected. Kernel configurations
975456b5dd8SWarner Losh	may need to be adjusted.
976bab42aadSDoug Rabson
9776cb7f168SBrooks Davis20090629:
978456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The network interface device nodes at /dev/net/<interface> have been
979456b5dd8SWarner Losh	removed.  All ioctl operations can be performed the normal way using
980456b5dd8SWarner Losh	routing sockets.  The kqueue functionality can generally be replaced
981456b5dd8SWarner Losh	with routing sockets.
9826cb7f168SBrooks Davis
983944bc81dSMarc Fonvieille20090628:
984456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The documentation from the FreeBSD Documentation Project (Handbook,
985456b5dd8SWarner Losh	FAQ, etc.) is now installed via packages by sysinstall(8) and under
986456b5dd8SWarner Losh	the /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd directory instead of /usr/share/doc.
987944bc81dSMarc Fonvieille
988f5e4c105SJohn Baldwin20090624:
989456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The ABI of various structures related to the SYSV IPC API have been
990456b5dd8SWarner Losh	changed.  As a result, the COMPAT_FREEBSD[456] and COMPAT_43 kernel
991456b5dd8SWarner Losh	options now all require COMPAT_FREEBSD7.  Bump __FreeBSD_version to
992456b5dd8SWarner Losh	800100.
993f5e4c105SJohn Baldwin
994b58ea5f3SBjoern A. Zeeb20090622:
995456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Layout of struct vnet has changed as routing related variables were
996456b5dd8SWarner Losh	moved to their own Vimage module. Modules need to be recompiled.  Bump
997456b5dd8SWarner Losh	__FreeBSD_version to 800099.
998b58ea5f3SBjoern A. Zeeb
999838d9858SBrooks Davis20090619:
1000456b5dd8SWarner Losh	NGROUPS_MAX and NGROUPS have been increased from 16 to 1023 and 1024
1001456b5dd8SWarner Losh	respectively.  As long as no more than 16 groups per process are used,
1002456b5dd8SWarner Losh	no changes should be visible.  When more than 16 groups are used, old
1003456b5dd8SWarner Losh	binaries may fail if they call getgroups() or getgrouplist() with
1004456b5dd8SWarner Losh	statically sized storage.  Recompiling will work around this, but
1005456b5dd8SWarner Losh	applications should be modified to use dynamically allocated storage
1006456b5dd8SWarner Losh	for group arrays as POSIX.1-2008 does not cap an implementation's
1007456b5dd8SWarner Losh	number of supported groups at NGROUPS_MAX+1 as previous versions did.
1008838d9858SBrooks Davis
1009456b5dd8SWarner Losh	NFS and portalfs mounts may also be affected as the list of groups is
1010456b5dd8SWarner Losh	truncated to 16.  Users of NFS who use more than 16 groups, should
1011456b5dd8SWarner Losh	take care that negative group permissions are not used on the exported
1012456b5dd8SWarner Losh	file systems as they will not be reliable unless a GSSAPI based
1013456b5dd8SWarner Losh	authentication method is used.
1014838d9858SBrooks Davis
1015651175c9SAttilio Rao20090616:
1016456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The compiling option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS has been introduced.  This
1017456b5dd8SWarner Losh	option compiles in the support for adaptive spinning for lockmgrs
1018456b5dd8SWarner Losh	which want to enable it.  The lockinit() function now accepts the flag
1019456b5dd8SWarner Losh	LK_ADAPTIVE in order to make the lock object subject to adaptive
1020456b5dd8SWarner Losh	spinning when both held in write and read mode.
1021651175c9SAttilio Rao
10222c727cb9SSam Leffler20090613:
1023456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The layout of the structure returned by IEEE80211_IOC_STA_INFO has
1024456b5dd8SWarner Losh	changed.  User applications that use this ioctl need to be rebuilt.
10252c727cb9SSam Leffler
1026f089869fSMarko Zec20090611:
1027456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The layout of struct thread has changed.  Kernel and modules need to

1029f089869fSMarko Zec
1030bc29160dSMarko Zec20090608:
1031456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The layout of structs ifnet, domain, protosw and vnet_net has changed.
1032456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Kernel modules need to be rebuilt.  Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800097.
1033bc29160dSMarko Zec
103489f98d57SEd Schouten20090602:
103589f98d57SEd Schouten	window(1) has been removed from the base system. It can now be
103689f98d57SEd Schouten	installed from ports. The port is called misc/window.
103789f98d57SEd Schouten
1038c2c2a7c1SBjoern A. Zeeb20090601:
1039456b5dd8SWarner Losh	The way we are storing and accessing `routing table' entries has
1040456b5dd8SWarner Losh	changed. Programs reading the FIB, like netstat, need to be
1041456b5dd8SWarner Losh	re-compiled.
1042c2c2a7c1SBjoern A. Zeeb
1043529cb8e3SRobert Watson20090601:
1044529cb8e3SRobert Watson	A new netisr implementation has been added for FreeBSD 8.  Network
1045529cb8e3SRobert Watson	file system modules, such as igmp, ipdivert, and others, should be
1046529cb8e3SRobert Watson	rebuilt.
1047529cb8e3SRobert Watson	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800096.
1048529cb8e3SRobert Watson
10492a61ba47SEdward Tomasz Napierala20090530:
1050456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Remove the tunable/sysctl debug.mpsafevfs as its initial purpose is no
1051456b5dd8SWarner Losh	more valid.
1052faef64ccSAttilio Rao
1053faef64ccSAttilio Rao20090530:
10542a61ba47SEdward Tomasz Napierala	Add VOP_ACCESSX(9).  File system modules need to be rebuilt.
10552a61ba47SEdward Tomasz Napierala	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800094.
10562a61ba47SEdward Tomasz Napierala
1057b89fed67SEdward Tomasz Napierala20090529:
1058456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Add mnt_xflag field to 'struct mount'.  File system modules need to be
1059456b5dd8SWarner Losh	rebuilt.
1060b89fed67SEdward Tomasz Napierala	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800093.
1061b89fed67SEdward Tomasz Napierala
10621ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao20090528:
10631ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao	The compiling option ADAPTIVE_SX has been retired while it has been
10641ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao	introduced the option NO_ADAPTIVE_SX which handles the reversed logic.
10651ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao	The KPI for sx_init_flags() changes as accepting flags:
1066456b5dd8SWarner Losh	SX_ADAPTIVESPIN flag has been retired while the SX_NOADAPTIVE flag has
1067456b5dd8SWarner Losh	been introduced in order to handle the reversed logic.
10681ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800092.
10691ae1c2a3SAttilio Rao
10700304c731SJamie Gritton20090527:
10710304c731SJamie Gritton	Add support for hierarchical jails.  Remove global securelevel.
10720304c731SJamie Gritton	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800091.

1074dfc79e89SEdwin Groothuis20090523:
107537f17770SMarko Zec	The layout of struct vnet_net has changed, therefore modules
107637f17770SMarko Zec	need to be rebuilt.
107737f17770SMarko Zec	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800090.
107837f17770SMarko Zec
107937f17770SMarko Zec20090523:

108323790ac0SSam Leffler20090520:
10849360ae40SAndrew Thompson	The sysctl tree for the usb stack has renamed from hw.usb2.* to
10859360ae40SAndrew Thompson	hw.usb.* and is now consistent again with previous releases.
10869360ae40SAndrew Thompson
10879360ae40SAndrew Thompson20090520:
1088456b5dd8SWarner Losh	802.11 monitor mode support was revised and driver api's were changed.
1089456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Drivers dependent on net80211 now support DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO instead
1090456b5dd8SWarner Losh	of DLT_IEEE802_11.  No user-visible data structures were changed but
1091456b5dd8SWarner Losh	applications that use DLT_IEEE802_11 may require changes.

110233cde130SBruce M Simpson20090429:
110333cde130SBruce M Simpson	MLDv2 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged
110433cde130SBruce M Simpson	to the IPv6 stack. VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used.
110533cde130SBruce M Simpson	The implementation of SSM within FreeBSD's IPv6 stack closely
110633cde130SBruce M Simpson	follows the IPv4 implementation.
110733cde130SBruce M Simpson
110833cde130SBruce M Simpson	For kernel developers:
110933cde130SBruce M Simpson
111033cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The most important changes are that the ip6_output() and
111133cde130SBruce M Simpson	  ip6_input() paths no longer take the IN6_MULTI_LOCK,
111233cde130SBruce M Simpson	  and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex.
111333cde130SBruce M Simpson
111433cde130SBruce M Simpson	* As with the changes to the IPv4 stack to support SSM, filtering
111533cde130SBruce M Simpson	  of inbound multicast traffic must now be performed by transport
111633cde130SBruce M Simpson	  protocols within the IPv6 stack. This does not apply to TCP and
111733cde130SBruce M Simpson	  SCTP, however, it does apply to UDP in IPv6 and raw IPv6.
111833cde130SBruce M Simpson
111933cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The KPIs used by IPv6 multicast are similar to those used by
112033cde130SBruce M Simpson	  the IPv4 stack, with the following differences:
112133cde130SBruce M Simpson	   * im6o_mc_filter() is analogous to imo_multicast_filter().
112233cde130SBruce M Simpson	   * The legacy KAME entry points in6_joingroup and in6_leavegroup()
112333cde130SBruce M Simpson	     are shimmed to in6_mc_join() and in6_mc_leave() respectively.
112433cde130SBruce M Simpson	   * IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI() has been deprecated and removed.
112533cde130SBruce M Simpson	   * IPv6 relies on MLD for the DAD mechanism. KAME's internal KPIs
112633cde130SBruce M Simpson	     for MLDv1 have an additional 'timer' argument which is used to
112733cde130SBruce M Simpson	     jitter the initial membership report for the solicited-node
112833cde130SBruce M Simpson	     multicast membership on-link.
112933cde130SBruce M Simpson	   * This is not strictly needed for MLDv2, which already jitters
113033cde130SBruce M Simpson	     its report transmissions.  However, the 'timer' argument is
113133cde130SBruce M Simpson	     preserved in case MLDv1 is active on the interface.
113233cde130SBruce M Simpson
113333cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The KAME linked-list based IPv6 membership implementation has
113433cde130SBruce M Simpson	  been refactored to use a vector similar to that used by the IPv4
113533cde130SBruce M Simpson	  stack.
113633cde130SBruce M Simpson	  Code which maintains a list of its own multicast memberships
113733cde130SBruce M Simpson	  internally, e.g. carp, has been updated to reflect the new
113833cde130SBruce M Simpson	  semantics.
113933cde130SBruce M Simpson
114033cde130SBruce M Simpson	* There is a known Lock Order Reversal (LOR) due to in6_setscope()
114133cde130SBruce M Simpson	  acquiring the IF_AFDATA_LOCK and being called within ip6_output().
114233cde130SBruce M Simpson	  Whilst MLDv2 tries to avoid this otherwise benign LOR, it is an
114333cde130SBruce M Simpson	  implementation constraint which needs to be addressed in HEAD.
114433cde130SBruce M Simpson
114533cde130SBruce M Simpson	For application developers:
114633cde130SBruce M Simpson
114733cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The changes are broadly similar to those made for the IPv4
114833cde130SBruce M Simpson	  stack.
114933cde130SBruce M Simpson
115033cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The use of IPv4 and IPv6 multicast socket options on the same
115133cde130SBruce M Simpson	  socket, using mapped addresses, HAS NOT been tested or supported.
115233cde130SBruce M Simpson
115333cde130SBruce M Simpson	* There are a number of issues with the implementation of various
115433cde130SBruce M Simpson	  IPv6 multicast APIs which need to be resolved in the API surface
115533cde130SBruce M Simpson	  before the implementation is fully compatible with KAME userland
115633cde130SBruce M Simpson	  use, and these are mostly to do with interface index treatment.
115733cde130SBruce M Simpson
115833cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The literature available discusses the use of either the delta / ASM
115933cde130SBruce M Simpson	  API with setsockopt(2)/getsockopt(2), or the full-state / ASM API
116033cde130SBruce M Simpson	  using setsourcefilter(3)/getsourcefilter(3). For more information
116133cde130SBruce M Simpson	  please refer to RFC 3768, 'Socket Interface Extensions for
116233cde130SBruce M Simpson	  Multicast Source Filters'.
116333cde130SBruce M Simpson
116433cde130SBruce M Simpson	* Applications which use the published RFC 3678 APIs should be fine.
116533cde130SBruce M Simpson
116633cde130SBruce M Simpson	For systems administrators:
116733cde130SBruce M Simpson
116833cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The mtest(8) utility has been refactored to support IPv6, in
116933cde130SBruce M Simpson	  addition to IPv4. Interface addresses are no longer accepted
117033cde130SBruce M Simpson	  as arguments, their names must be used instead. The utility
117133cde130SBruce M Simpson	  will map the interface name to its first IPv4 address as
117233cde130SBruce M Simpson	  returned by getifaddrs(3).
117333cde130SBruce M Simpson
117433cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The ifmcstat(8) utility has also been updated to print the MLDv2
117533cde130SBruce M Simpson	  endpoint state and source filter lists via sysctl(3).
117633cde130SBruce M Simpson
117733cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The net.inet6.ip6.mcast.loop sysctl may be tuned to 0 to disable
117833cde130SBruce M Simpson	  loopback of IPv6 multicast datagrams by default; it defaults to 1
117933cde130SBruce M Simpson	  to preserve the existing behaviour. Disabling multicast loopback is
118033cde130SBruce M Simpson	  recommended for optimal system performance.
118133cde130SBruce M Simpson
118233cde130SBruce M Simpson	* The IPv6 MROUTING code has been changed to examine this sysctl
118333cde130SBruce M Simpson	  instead of attempting to perform a group lookup before looping
118433cde130SBruce M Simpson	  back forwarded datagrams.
118533cde130SBruce M Simpson
118633cde130SBruce M Simpson	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084.

11928b8bf775SRobert Watson20090419:
11938b8bf775SRobert Watson	The layout of struct malloc_type, used by modules to register new
11948b8bf775SRobert Watson	memory allocation types, has changed.  Most modules will need to
11958b8bf775SRobert Watson	be rebuilt or panics may be experienced.

1207de4ab55eSKip Macy	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800079.
1208de4ab55eSKip Macy
1209427ac07fSKip Macy20090414:
1210427ac07fSKip Macy	The size of rt_metrics_lite and by extension rtentry has changed.
1211427ac07fSKip Macy	Networking administration apps will need to be recompiled.
1212427ac07fSKip Macy	The route command now supports show as an alias for get, weighting
1213427ac07fSKip Macy	of routes, sticky and nostick flags to alter the behavior of stateful
1214427ac07fSKip Macy	load balancing.
1215427ac07fSKip Macy	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800078.

121787437955SMaksim Yevmenkin20090408:
121887437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	Do not use Giant for kbdmux(4) locking. This is wrong and
121987437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	apparently causing more problems than it solves. This will
122087437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	re-open the issue where interrupt handlers may race with
122187437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	kbdmux(4) in polling mode. Typical symptoms include (but
122287437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	not limited to) duplicated and/or missing characters when
122387437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	low level console functions (such as gets) are used while
122487437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	interrupts are enabled (for example geli password prompt,
122587437955SMaksim Yevmenkin	mountroot prompt etc.). Disabling kbdmux(4) may help.

12272f6a1858SMarko Zec20090407:
12282f6a1858SMarko Zec	The size of structs vnet_net, vnet_inet and vnet_ipfw has changed;
12292f6a1858SMarko Zec	kernel modules referencing any of the above need to be recompiled.

1232781d043cSIvan Voras20090320:
1233781d043cSIvan Voras	GEOM_PART has become the default partition slicer for storage devices,
1234781d043cSIvan Voras	replacing GEOM_MBR, GEOM_BSD, GEOM_PC98 and GEOM_GPT slicers. It
12359a07b548SIvan Voras	introduces some changes:
12369a07b548SIvan Voras
12379a07b548SIvan Voras	MSDOS/EBR: the devices created from MSDOS extended partition entries
12389a07b548SIvan Voras	(EBR) can be named differently than with GEOM_MBR and are now symlinks
12399a07b548SIvan Voras	to devices with offset-based names. fstabs may need to be modified.
12409a07b548SIvan Voras
12419a07b548SIvan Voras	BSD: the "geometry does not match label" warning is harmless in most
12429a07b548SIvan Voras	cases but it points to problems in file system misalignment with
12439a07b548SIvan Voras	disk geometry. The "c" partition is now implicit, covers the whole
12449a07b548SIvan Voras	top-level drive and cannot be (mis)used by users.
12459a07b548SIvan Voras
12469a07b548SIvan Voras	General: Kernel dumps are now not allowed to be written to devices
12479a07b548SIvan Voras	whose partition types indicate they are meant to be used for file
12489a07b548SIvan Voras	systems (or, in case of MSDOS partitions, as something else than
12499a07b548SIvan Voras	the "386BSD" type).
12509a07b548SIvan Voras
12519a07b548SIvan Voras	Most of these changes date approximately from 200812.
1252781d043cSIvan Voras
1253443fc317SBruce M Simpson20090319:
12542b78d306SAndrew Thompson	The uscanner(4) driver has been removed from the kernel. This follows
12552b78d306SAndrew Thompson	Linux removing theirs in 2.6 and making libusb the default interface
12562b78d306SAndrew Thompson	(supported by sane).
12572b78d306SAndrew Thompson
12582b78d306SAndrew Thompson20090319:
1259443fc317SBruce M Simpson	The multicast forwarding code has been cleaned up. netstat(1)
1260443fc317SBruce M Simpson	only relies on KVM now for printing bandwidth upcall meters.
1261443fc317SBruce M Simpson	The IPv4 and IPv6 modules are split into ip_mroute_mod and
1262443fc317SBruce M Simpson	ip6_mroute_mod respectively. The config(5) options for statically
1263443fc317SBruce M Simpson	compiling this code remain the same, i.e. 'options MROUTING'.
1264443fc317SBruce M Simpson
12651df14375SRobert Watson20090315:
12661df14375SRobert Watson	Support for the IFF_NEEDSGIANT network interface flag has been
12671df14375SRobert Watson	removed, which means that non-MPSAFE network device drivers are no
12681df14375SRobert Watson	longer supported.  In particular, if_ar, if_sr, and network device
12691df14375SRobert Watson	drivers from the old (legacy) USB stack can no longer be built or
12701df14375SRobert Watson	used.
12711df14375SRobert Watson
1272e667034dSRui Paulo20090313:
12737e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan	POSIX.1 Native Language Support (NLS) has been enabled in libc and
12747e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan	a bunch of new language catalog files have also been added.
12757e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan	This means that some common libc messages are now localized and
12767e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan	they depend on the LC_MESSAGES environmental variable.
12777e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan
12787e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan20090313:
1279e667034dSRui Paulo	The k8temp(4) driver has been renamed to amdtemp(4) since
12808fb1e038SDavid E. O'Brien	support for Family 10 and Family 11 CPU families was added.
1281e667034dSRui Paulo
1282a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson20090309:
1283d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	IGMPv3 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged
1284d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	to the IPv4 stack. VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used.
1285d10910e6SBruce M Simpson
1286d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	For kernel developers, the most important changes are that the
1287d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	ip_output() and ip_input() paths no longer take the IN_MULTI_LOCK(),
1288d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex.
1289d10910e6SBruce M Simpson
1290d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	Transport protocols (UDP, Raw IP) are now responsible for filtering
1291d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	inbound multicast traffic according to group membership and source
1292d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	filters. The imo_multicast_filter() KPI exists for this purpose.
1293d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	Transports which do not use multicast (SCTP, TCP) already reject
1294d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	multicast by default. Forwarding and receive performance may improve
1295d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	as a mutex acquisition is no longer needed in the ip_input()
1296d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	low-level input path.  in_addmulti() and in_delmulti() are shimmed
1297d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	to new KPIs which exist to support SSM in-kernel.
1298d10910e6SBruce M Simpson
1299d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	For application developers, it is recommended that loopback of
1300d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	multicast datagrams be disabled for best performance, as this
1301d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	will still cause the lock to be taken for each looped-back
1302d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	datagram transmission. The net.inet.ip.mcast.loop sysctl may
1303d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	be tuned to 0 to disable loopback by default; it defaults to 1
1304d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	to preserve the existing behaviour.
1305d10910e6SBruce M Simpson
1306d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	For systems administrators, to obtain best performance with
1307d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	multicast reception and multiple groups, it is always recommended
1308d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	that a card with a suitably precise hash filter is used. Hash
1309d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	collisions will still result in the lock being taken within the
1310d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	transport protocol input path to check group membership.
1311d10910e6SBruce M Simpson
1312d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	If deploying FreeBSD in an environment with IGMP snooping switches,
1313d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	it is recommended that the net.inet.igmp.sendlocal sysctl remain
1314d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	enabled; this forces 224.0.0.0/24 group membership to be announced
1315d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	via IGMP.
1316d10910e6SBruce M Simpson
1317d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	The size of 'struct igmpstat' has changed; netstat needs to be
1318d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	recompiled to reflect this.
1319d10910e6SBruce M Simpson	Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800070.
1320d10910e6SBruce M Simpson
1321d10910e6SBruce M Simpson20090309:
1322a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson	libusb20.so.1 is now installed as libusb.so.1 and the ports system
1323a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson	updated to use it. This requires a buildworld/installworld in order to
1324a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson	update the library and dependencies (usbconfig, etc). Its advisable to
1325cb2fe9b1SStanislav Sedov	rebuild all ports which uses libusb. More specific directions are given
13260ee5826eSAndrew Thompson	in the ports collection UPDATING file. Any /etc/libmap.conf entries for

13319f960e98SKonstantin Belousov	memory segment of size > 2 GB on the 64-bit architectures.
13329f960e98SKonstantin Belousov	Due to a limitation of the existing ABI, the shm_segsz member
133365067cc8SKonstantin Belousov	of the struct shmid_ds, returned by shmctl(IPC_STAT) call is
1334813bb2c9SJoel Dahl	wrong for large segments. Note that limits must be explicitly

134571e9286cSAndrew Thompson20090223:
134671e9286cSAndrew Thompson	The new USB2 stack has now been permanently moved in and all kernel and
1347200dcf9aSAndrew Thompson	module names reverted to their previous values (eg, usb, ehci, ohci,
13489c1e15b5SAndrew Thompson	ums, ...).  The old usb stack can be compiled in by prefixing the name
134971e9286cSAndrew Thompson	with the letter 'o', the old usb modules have been removed.
1350a709c9a6SWarner Losh	Updating entry 20090216 for xorg and 20090215 for libmap may still

1353553bf6a4SMike Makonnen20090217:
1354553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	The rc.conf(5) option if_up_delay has been renamed to
1355553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	defaultroute_delay to better reflect its purpose. If you have
1356553bf6a4SMike Makonnen	customized this setting in /etc/rc.conf you need to update it to

1358553bf6a4SMike Makonnen
1359bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson20090216:
1360bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
1361bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	yet work with USB2. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
1362bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	add
1363bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson		Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
1364bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson	to your ServerLayout section.  This will cause X to use the configured

138121293e70SAndrew Thompson20090209:
138221293e70SAndrew Thompson	All USB ethernet devices now attach as interfaces under the name ueN
138321293e70SAndrew Thompson	(eg. ue0). This is to provide a predictable name as vendors often
138421293e70SAndrew Thompson	change usb chipsets in a product without notice.

138614943437SJohn Baldwin20090203:
138714943437SJohn Baldwin	The ichsmb(4) driver has been changed to require SMBus slave
138814943437SJohn Baldwin	addresses be left-justified (xxxxxxx0b) rather than right-justified.
138914943437SJohn Baldwin	All of the other SMBus controller drivers require left-justified
139014943437SJohn Baldwin	slave addresses, so this change makes all the drivers provide the
139114943437SJohn Baldwin	same interface.

139874f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	NTFS has been removed from GENERIC kernel on amd64 to match
139974f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	GENERIC on i386. Should not cause any issues since mount_ntfs(8)
140074f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	will load ntfs.ko module automatically when NTFS support is
140174f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	actually needed, unless ntfs.ko is not installed or security
140274f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	level prohibits loading kernel modules. If either is the case,
140374f91fb9SMaxim Sobolev	"options NTFS" has to be added into kernel config.

140724cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	New field in struct tcpcb breaks ABI, so bump __FreeBSD_version to
140824cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	800061. User space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in
140924cb0f22SLawrence Stewart	tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to be recompiled.

14256e6b3f7cSQing Li20081214:
14266e6b3f7cSQing Li	__FreeBSD_version 800059 incorporates the new arp-v2 rewrite.
14276e6b3f7cSQing Li	RTF_CLONING, RTF_LLINFO and RTF_WASCLONED flags are eliminated.
14286e6b3f7cSQing Li	The new code reduced struct rtentry{} by 16 bytes on 32-bit
14296e6b3f7cSQing Li	architecture and 40 bytes on 64-bit architecture. The userland
14306e6b3f7cSQing Li	applications "arp" and "ndp" have been updated accordingly.
14316e6b3f7cSQing Li	The output from "netstat -r" shows only routing entries and

143433644623SSam Leffler20081130:
143533644623SSam Leffler	__FreeBSD_version 800057 marks the switchover from the
143633644623SSam Leffler	binary ath hal to source code. Users must add the line:

144333644623SSam Leffler
144433644623SSam Leffler	The ath_hal module no longer exists; the code is now compiled
144533644623SSam Leffler	together with the driver in the ath module.  It is now
144633644623SSam Leffler	possible to tailor chip support (i.e. reduce the set of chips
144733644623SSam Leffler	and thereby the code size); consult ath_hal(4) for details.
144833644623SSam Leffler
1449db7f0b97SKip Macy20081121:
1450db7f0b97SKip Macy	__FreeBSD_version 800054 adds memory barriers to
1451db7f0b97SKip Macy	<machine/atomic.h>, new interfaces to ifnet to facilitate
1452db7f0b97SKip Macy	multiple hardware transmit queues for cards that support
1453db7f0b97SKip Macy	them, and a lock-less ring-buffer implementation to

1457de2e1b35SXin LI20081117:
1458de2e1b35SXin LI	A new version of ZFS (version 13) has been merged to -HEAD.
1459de3a91a0SXin LI	This version has zpool attribute "listsnapshots" off by
1460de3a91a0SXin LI	default, which means "zfs list" does not show snapshots,
1461de2e1b35SXin LI	and is the same as Solaris behavior.

1466e91c7c81SJoseph Koshy20081009:
1467d8135f4aSNick Hibma	The uhci, ohci, ehci and slhci USB Host controller drivers have
1468d8135f4aSNick Hibma	been put into separate modules. If you load the usb module
1469d8135f4aSNick Hibma	separately through loader.conf you will need to load the
1470d8135f4aSNick Hibma	appropriate *hci module as well. E.g. for a UHCI-based USB 2.0
1471d8135f4aSNick Hibma	controller add the following to loader.conf:
1472d8135f4aSNick Hibma
1473d8135f4aSNick Hibma		uhci_load="YES"
1474d8135f4aSNick Hibma		ehci_load="YES"

1476d8135f4aSNick Hibma20081009:
1477e91c7c81SJoseph Koshy	The ABI used by the PMC toolset has changed.  Please keep
1478e91c7c81SJoseph Koshy	userland (libpmc(3)) and the kernel module (hwpmc(4)) in
1479e91c7c81SJoseph Koshy	sync.

1481b868265dSAlexander Motin20081009:
1482b868265dSAlexander Motin	atapci kernel module now includes only generic PCI ATA
1483b868265dSAlexander Motin	driver. AHCI driver moved to ataahci kernel module.
1484b868265dSAlexander Motin	All vendor-specific code moved into separate kernel modules:

1490bc093719SEd Schouten20080820:
1491bc093719SEd Schouten	The TTY subsystem of the kernel has been replaced by a new
1492bc093719SEd Schouten	implementation, which provides better scalability and an
1493bc093719SEd Schouten	improved driver model. Most common drivers have been migrated to
1494bc093719SEd Schouten	the new TTY subsystem, while others have not. The following
1495bc093719SEd Schouten	drivers have not yet been ported to the new TTY layer:
1496bc093719SEd Schouten
1497bc093719SEd Schouten	PCI/ISA:
149866e7dc38SEd Schouten		cy, digi, rc, rp, sio
1499bc093719SEd Schouten
1500bc093719SEd Schouten	USB:

1503bc093719SEd Schouten	Line disciplines:
1504bc093719SEd Schouten		ng_h4, ng_tty, ppp, sl, snp
1505bc093719SEd Schouten
1506bc093719SEd Schouten	Adding these drivers to your kernel configuration file shall
1507bc093719SEd Schouten	cause compilation to fail.
1508bc093719SEd Schouten
15099d965219SOllivier Robert20080818:
15109d965219SOllivier Robert	ntpd has been upgraded to 4.2.4p5.
15119d965219SOllivier Robert
1512eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav20080801:
1513eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	OpenSSH has been upgraded to 5.1p1.
1514eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav
1515eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	For many years, FreeBSD's version of OpenSSH preferred DSA
1516eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	over RSA for host and user authentication keys.  With this
1517eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	upgrade, we've switched to the vendor's default of RSA over
1518eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	DSA.  This may cause upgraded clients to warn about unknown
1519eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	host keys even for previously known hosts.  Users should
1520eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	follow the usual procedure for verifying host keys before
1521eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	accepting the RSA key.
1522eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav
1523eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	This can be circumvented by setting the "HostKeyAlgorithms"
1524eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	option to "ssh-dss,ssh-rsa" in ~/.ssh/config or on the ssh
1525eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	command line.
1526eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav
1527737d990aSXin LI	Please note that the sequence of keys offered for
1528737d990aSXin LI	authentication has been changed as well.  You may want to
1529737d990aSXin LI	specify IdentityFile in a different order to revert this
1530737d990aSXin LI	behavior.
1531737d990aSXin LI
1532f4d811f0SEd Schouten20080713:
1533f4d811f0SEd Schouten	The sio(4) driver has been removed from the i386 and amd64
1534f4d811f0SEd Schouten	kernel configuration files. This means uart(4) is now the
1535f4d811f0SEd Schouten	default serial port driver on those platforms as well.
1536f4d811f0SEd Schouten
1537f4d811f0SEd Schouten	To prevent collisions with the sio(4) driver, the uart(4) driver
1538f4d811f0SEd Schouten	uses different names for its device nodes. This means the
1539f4d811f0SEd Schouten	onboard serial port will now most likely be called "ttyu0"
1540f4d811f0SEd Schouten	instead of "ttyd0". You may need to reconfigure applications to
1541f4d811f0SEd Schouten	use the new device names.
1542f4d811f0SEd Schouten
1543db96ec0bSEd Schouten	When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update
1544db96ec0bSEd Schouten	/boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel.
1545db96ec0bSEd Schouten	If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints
1546db96ec0bSEd Schouten	at the loader prompt:
1547db96ec0bSEd Schouten
1548db96ec0bSEd Schouten		set hint.uart.0.at="isa"
1549db96ec0bSEd Schouten		set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8"
1550db96ec0bSEd Schouten		set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10"

15684dcedde3SJulian Elischer20080509:
15694dcedde3SJulian Elischer	I have checked in code to support multiple routing tables.
1570032e0bf8SMaxim Konovalov	See the man pages setfib(1) and setfib(2).
15714dcedde3SJulian Elischer	This is a hopefully backwards compatible version,
15724dcedde3SJulian Elischer	but to make use of it you need to compile your kernel
15734dcedde3SJulian Elischer	with options ROUTETABLES=2 (or more up to 16).

1575de570baaSSam Leffler20080420:
1576de570baaSSam Leffler	The 802.11 wireless support was redone to enable multi-bss
1577de570baaSSam Leffler	operation on devices that are capable.  The underlying device
1578de570baaSSam Leffler	is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are
1579de570baaSSam Leffler	cloned with ifconfig.  This requires changes to rc.conf files.
15805318f840SWarner Losh	For example, change:
15815318f840SWarner Losh		ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP"
15825318f840SWarner Losh	to
15835318f840SWarner Losh		wlans_ath0=wlan0
15845318f840SWarner Losh		ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
15850f95e625SWarner Losh	see rc.conf(5) for more details.  In addition, mergemaster of
15860f95e625SWarner Losh	/etc/rc.d is highly recommended.  Simultaneous update of userland
15870f95e625SWarner Losh	and kernel wouldn't hurt either.
1588de570baaSSam Leffler
1589de570baaSSam Leffler	As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta
1590de570baaSSam Leffler	modules were merged into the base wlan module.  All references
1591de570baaSSam Leffler	to these modules (e.g. in kernel config files) must be removed.
1592de570baaSSam Leffler
1593ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim20080408:
1594ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	psm(4) has gained write(2) support in native operation level.
1595ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	Arbitrary commands can be written to /dev/psm%d and status can
1596ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	be read back from it.  Therefore, an application is responsible
1597ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	for status validation and error recovery.  It is a no-op in
1598ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim	other operation levels.

1600e4c67b94SJeff Roberson20080312:
1601e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	Support for KSE threading has been removed from the kernel.  To
1602e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	run legacy applications linked against KSE libmap.conf may
1603e4c67b94SJeff Roberson	be used.  The following libmap.conf may be used to ensure

16108775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar20080301:
16118775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	The layout of struct vmspace has changed. This affects libkvm
16128775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	and any executables that link against libkvm and use the
16138775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	kvm_getprocs() function. In particular, but not exclusively,
16148775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	it affects ps(1), fstat(1), pkill(1), systat(1), top(1) and w(1).
16158775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	The effects are minimal, but it's advisable to upgrade world
16168775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar	nonetheless.

1618df09ebc0SJack F Vogel20080229:
1619df09ebc0SJack F Vogel	The latest em driver no longer has support in it for the
1620df09ebc0SJack F Vogel	82575 adapter, this is now moved to the igb driver. The
1621df09ebc0SJack F Vogel	split was done to make new features that are incompatible
1622df09ebc0SJack F Vogel	with older hardware easier to do.
1623df09ebc0SJack F Vogel
16241669d8afSAndrew Thompson20080220:

163848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy20080126:
163948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	The fts(3) structures have been changed to use adequate
164048aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	integer types for their members and so to be able to cope
164148aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	with huge file trees.  The old fts(3) ABI is preserved
164248aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	through symbol versioning in libc, so third-party binaries
164348aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	using fts(3) should still work, although they will not take
164448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	advantage of the extended types.  At the same time, some
164548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	third-party software might fail to build after this change
164648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	due to unportable assumptions made in its source code about
164748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	fts(3) structure members.  Such software should be fixed
164848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	by its vendor or, in the worst case, in the ports tree.
164948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	FreeBSD_version 800015 marks this change for the unlikely
165048aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy	case that a portable fix is impossible.

1662e393af84SMarius Strobl	The AT keyboard emulation of sunkbd(4) has been turned on
1663e393af84SMarius Strobl	by default. In order to make the special symbols of the Sun
1664e393af84SMarius Strobl	keyboards driven by sunkbd(4) work under X these now have
1665e393af84SMarius Strobl	to be configured the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven
1666e393af84SMarius Strobl	by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation), f.e.:
1667e393af84SMarius Strobl
1668e393af84SMarius Strobl	Option	"XkbLayout" "us"
1669e393af84SMarius Strobl	Option	"XkbRules" "xorg"

167233d3fffaSMarius Strobl20071024:
167333d3fffaSMarius Strobl	It has been decided that it is desirable to provide ABI
167433d3fffaSMarius Strobl	backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of the
167533d3fffaSMarius Strobl	PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was
167633d3fffaSMarius Strobl	broken with the introduction of PCI domain support (see the
167733d3fffaSMarius Strobl	20070930 entry). Unfortunately, this required the ABI of
167833d3fffaSMarius Strobl	PCIOCGETCONF to be broken again in order to be able to
167933d3fffaSMarius Strobl	provide backwards compatibility to the old version of that
168033d3fffaSMarius Strobl	IOCTL. Thus consumers of PCIOCGETCONF have to be recompiled
168133d3fffaSMarius Strobl	again. As for prominent ports this affects neither pciutils
168233d3fffaSMarius Strobl	nor xorg-server this time, the hal port needs to be rebuilt
168333d3fffaSMarius Strobl	however.

1698a24eff53SWarner Losh	General Notes
1699a24eff53SWarner Losh	-------------
1700456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Avoid using make -j when upgrading.  While generally safe, there are
1701456b5dd8SWarner Losh	sometimes problems using -j to upgrade.  If your upgrade fails with
17021733d35cSRuslan Ermilov	-j, please try again without -j.  From time to time in the past there
1703456b5dd8SWarner Losh	have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld.  This
1704456b5dd8SWarner Losh	is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one
1705456b5dd8SWarner Losh	that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when
1706456b5dd8SWarner Losh	several months have passed on the -current branch).
1707a24eff53SWarner Losh
17085780f3baSWarner Losh	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
17095780f3baSWarner Losh	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
1710456b5dd8SWarner Losh	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
1711456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
1712456b5dd8SWarner Losh	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
17135780f3baSWarner Losh
1714456b5dd8SWarner Losh	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best
1715456b5dd8SWarner Losh	to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first,
1716456b5dd8SWarner Losh	then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade
1717456b5dd8SWarner Losh	path, and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try
1718456b5dd8SWarner Losh	this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade.
1719081ff8acSDoug Barton
17206eeab389SWarner Losh	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before
1721da0e842aSWarner Losh	installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell
1722da0e842aSWarner Losh	around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your
1723da0e842aSWarner Losh	starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade.

17258fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
17268fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
17278fc25799SMartin Matuska	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
17288fc25799SMartin Matuska	these two steps:
17298fc25799SMartin Matuska
17308fc25799SMartin Matuska	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
17318fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
17328fc25799SMartin Matuska
17338fc25799SMartin Matuska	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
17348fc25799SMartin Matuska
17358fc25799SMartin Matuska	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first
17368fc25799SMartin Matuska	partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ad0:
17378fc25799SMartin Matuska	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0"
17388fc25799SMartin Matuska
17398fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.

1741dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	To build a kernel
1742dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	-----------------
1743ba01eb20SWarner Losh	If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
17441cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
17451cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
17461cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien
17471cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	make kernel-toolchain

17512e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	To test a kernel once
17522e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	---------------------
17532e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
17542e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
17552e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	debugging information) run
17562e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel

1759ba01eb20SWarner Losh	To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1760ba01eb20SWarner Losh	--------------------------------------------------------------
1761456b5dd8SWarner Losh	This assumes you are already running a CURRENT system.  Replace
17620fbd2da9SKen Smith	${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1763456b5dd8SWarner Losh	"arm", "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", "powerpc", "mips", etc).

1816f643de42SWarner Losh	<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
181721c075eaSWarner Losh	make buildworld					[9]

1825ba26da8eSWarner Losh	<reboot>
1826ba26da8eSWarner Losh
1827fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1828fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
1829fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1830fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1831fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
1832ba26da8eSWarner Losh
18331dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
18341dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
18351dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
18361dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
18371dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.
18381dece4a9SWarner Losh
1839134d2e86SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1840134d2e86SWarner Losh	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1841134d2e86SWarner Losh	system on reboot.
1842134d2e86SWarner Losh
1843ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1844ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		fsck -p
1845ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -u /
1846ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -a
18476586253aSWarner Losh		cd src
184847d0d01fSWarner Losh		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
1849f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1850f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1851ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh
1852a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
1853a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
1854a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
1855a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
1856a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
185750e8eca6SDoug Barton	for potential gotchas.  The -U option is also useful to consider.
185850e8eca6SDoug Barton	See mergemaster(8) for more information.
1859a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh
1860835284beSWarner Losh	[5] Usually this step is a noop.  However, from time to time
1861835284beSWarner Losh	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
1862835284beSWarner Losh	step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.  You may need to
1863835284beSWarner Losh	install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make
1864835284beSWarner Losh	install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
186520e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430.
1866835284beSWarner Losh
186794877c06SAlexander Leidinger	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
186894877c06SAlexander Leidinger	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
186994877c06SAlexander Leidinger	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.
187094877c06SAlexander Leidinger
1871456b5dd8SWarner Losh	[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to
1872456b5dd8SWarner Losh	do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in
1873456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your kernel.  Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is
1874456b5dd8SWarner Losh	hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is
1875456b5dd8SWarner Losh	required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.  And so on
1876456b5dd8SWarner Losh	for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7.
1877c74fe6afSWarner Losh
1878e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
1879e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	last time you updated your kernel config file.
1880e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
188121c075eaSWarner Losh	[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
1882e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	cvs prune empty directories.
1883e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1884e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
1885e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
1886e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
1887e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1888e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
1889e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
1890e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	warn if it is improperly defined.
