These features attempt to detect incorrect use of 15456b5dd8SWarner Losh system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity 16456b5dd8SWarner Losh checking and fail stop semantics. They also substantially impact 17456b5dd8SWarner Losh system performance. If you want to do performance measurement, 18456b5dd8SWarner Losh benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off. This 19456b5dd8SWarner Losh includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc 20456b5dd8SWarner Losh debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the 21456b5dd8SWarner Losh kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build 22456b5dd8SWarner Losh machines to maximize performance. (To disable malloc debugging, run 236bea5c3cSTom Rhodes ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf.) 24efc06131SSam Leffler 254c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn20110112: 261eae8811SMatthew D Fleming A SYSCTL_[ADD_]UQUAD was added for unsigned uint64_t pointers, 271eae8811SMatthew D Fleming symmetric with the existing SYSCTL_[ADD_]QUAD. Type checking 281eae8811SMatthew D Fleming for scalar sysctls is defined but disabled. Code that needs 291eae8811SMatthew D Fleming UQUAD to pass the type checking that must compile on older 301eae8811SMatthew D Fleming systems where the define is not present can check against 311eae8811SMatthew D Fleming __FreeBSD_version >= 900030. 321eae8811SMatthew D Fleming 334c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn The system dialog(1) has been replaced with a new version previously 344c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn in ports as devel/cdialog. dialog(1) is mostly command-line compatible 354c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn with the previous version, but the libdialog associated with it has 364c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn a largely incompatible API. As such, the original version of libdialog 374c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn will be kept temporarily as libodialog, until its base system consumers 384c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn are replaced or updated. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900030. 394c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn 40e4f64803SWarner Losh20110103: 41e4f64803SWarner Losh If you are trying to run make universe on a -stable system, and you get 42e4f64803SWarner Losh the following warning: 43*7b57aa33SRebecca Cran "Makefile", line 356: "Target architecture for i386/conf/GENERIC 44*7b57aa33SRebecca Cran unknown. config(8) likely too old." 45e4f64803SWarner Losh or something similar to it, then you must upgrade your -stable system 46e4f64803SWarner Losh to 8.2-Release or newer (really, any time after r210146 7/15/2010 in 47e4f64803SWarner Losh stable/8) or build the config from the latest stable/8 branch and 48e4f64803SWarner Losh install it on your system. 49e4f64803SWarner Losh 50e4f64803SWarner Losh Prior to this date, building a current universe on 8-stable system from 51e4f64803SWarner Losh between 7/15/2010 and 1/2/2011 would result in a weird shell parsing 52*7b57aa33SRebecca Cran error in the first kernel build phase. A new config on those old 53*7b57aa33SRebecca Cran systems will fix that problem for older versions of -current. 54e4f64803SWarner Losh 5539bc9de5SLawrence Stewart20101228: 5639bc9de5SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has been modified to allow Khelp modules to interact with 5739bc9de5SLawrence Stewart it via helper hook points and store per-connection data in the TCP 5839bc9de5SLawrence Stewart control block. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900029. User space tools that 5939bc9de5SLawrence Stewart rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to 6039bc9de5SLawrence Stewart be recompiled. 6139bc9de5SLawrence Stewart 62efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl20101114: 63efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control support has been 64efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl added to mii(4) and bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along 65efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy() have been converted 66efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl to take advantage of it instead of using custom implementations. This 67efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl means that these drivers now no longer unconditionally advertise 68efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl support for flow control but only do so if flow control is a selected 69efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl media option. This was implemented in the generic support that way in 70efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl order to allow flow control to be switched on and off via ifconfig(8) 71efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with the PHY specific default to typically off in order to protect 72efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl from unwanted effects. Consequently, if you used flow control with 73efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl one of the above mentioned drivers you now need to explicitly enable 74efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl it, for example via: 75efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media auto mediaopt flowcontrol 76efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 77efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Along with the above mentioned changes generic support for setting 78efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 1000baseT master mode also has been added and brgphy(4), ciphy(4), 79efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy(4) have been converted to take 80efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl advantage of it. This means that these drivers now no longer take the 81efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl link0 parameter for selecting master mode but the master media option 82efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl has to be used instead, for example like in the following: 83efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master 84efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 85efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Selection of master mode now is also available with all other PHY 86efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl drivers supporting 1000baseT. 87efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 88dbc42409SLawrence Stewart20101111: 89dbc42409SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has received a significant update to add support for 90dbc42409SLawrence Stewart modularised congestion control and generally improve the clarity of 91dbc42409SLawrence Stewart congestion control decisions. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025. User 92dbc42409SLawrence Stewart space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. 93dbc42409SLawrence Stewart sockstat) need to be recompiled. 94dbc42409SLawrence Stewart 95fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow20101002: 96fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow The man(1) utility has been replaced by a new version that no longer 97fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow uses /etc/manpath.config. Please consult man.conf(5) for how to 98fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow migrate local entries to the new format. 99fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow 100337299c6SEd Maste20100928: 101337299c6SEd Maste The copyright strings printed by login(1) and sshd(8) at the time of a 102337299c6SEd Maste new connection have been removed to follow other operating systems and 103337299c6SEd Maste upstream sshd. 104337299c6SEd Maste 105f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon20100915: 106f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon A workaround for a fixed ld bug has been removed in kernel code, 107f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon so make sure that your system ld is built from sources after 108130a0815SAndriy Gapon revision 210245 from 2010-07-19 (r211583 if building head kernel 109130a0815SAndriy Gapon on stable/8, r211584 for stable/7; both from 2010-08-21). 110130a0815SAndriy Gapon A symptom of incorrect ld version is different addresses for 111130a0815SAndriy Gapon set_pcpu section and __start_set_pcpu symbol in kernel and/or modules. 112f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon 113d69eb520SRui Paulo20100913: 114d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_prefer variable in rc.conf(5) has been split into 115d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato $ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces. 116d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 117d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined 118d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato address selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8). A value 119d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato "ipv4_prefer", "ipv6_prefer" or "AUTO" can be specified. The 120d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato default is "AUTO". 121d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 122d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces specifies whether IFDISABLED 123d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato flag (see an entry of 20090926) is set on an interface with no 124d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line. The default is "NO" for 125d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato security reason. If you want IPv6 link-local address on all 126d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato interfaces by default, set this to "YES". 127d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 128d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The old ipv6_prefer="YES" is equivalent to 129d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" and 130d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer". 131d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 132d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato20100913: 133d69eb520SRui Paulo DTrace has grown support for userland tracing. Due to this, DTrace is 134d69eb520SRui Paulo now i386 and amd64 only. 135d69eb520SRui Paulo dtruss(1) is now installed by default on those systems and a new 136d69eb520SRui Paulo kernel module is needed for userland tracing: fasttrap. 137d69eb520SRui Paulo No changes to your kernel config file are necessary to enable 138d69eb520SRui Paulo userland tracing, but you might consider adding 'STRIP=' and 139d69eb520SRui Paulo 'CFLAGS+=-fno-omit-frame-pointer' to your make.conf if you want 140d69eb520SRui Paulo to have informative userland stack traces in DTrace (ustack). 141d69eb520SRui Paulo 14240650455SRui Paulo20100725: 14340650455SRui Paulo The acpi_aiboost(4) driver has been removed in favor of the new 14440650455SRui Paulo aibs(4) driver. You should update your kernel configuration file. 14540650455SRui Paulo 1464dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan20100722: 1474dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan BSD grep has been imported to the base system and it is built by 1484dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan default. It is completely BSD licensed, highly GNU-compatible, uses 1494dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan less memory than its GNU counterpart and has a small codebase. 1504dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan However, it is slower than its GNU counterpart, which is mostly 1514dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan noticeable for larger searches, for smaller ones it is measurable 1524dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan but not significant. The reason is complex, the most important factor 1534dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan is that we lack a modern and efficient regex library and GNU 1544dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan overcomes this by optimizing the searches internally. Future work 1554dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan on improving the regex performance is planned, for the meantime, 1564dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan users that need better performance, can build GNU grep instead by 1574dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan setting the WITH_GNU_GREP knob. 1582965a453SKip Macy 1598fc25799SMartin Matuska20100713: 160c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn Due to the import of powerpc64 support, all existing powerpc kernel 161c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn configuration files must be updated with a machine directive like this: 162c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn machine powerpc powerpc 163c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 164c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn In addition, an updated config(8) is required to build powerpc kernels 165c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn after this change. 166c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 167c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn20100713: 1688fc25799SMartin Matuska A new version of ZFS (version 15) has been merged to -HEAD. 1698fc25799SMartin Matuska This version uses a python library for the following subcommands: 1708fc25799SMartin Matuska zfs allow, zfs unallow, zfs groupspace, zfs userspace. 1718fc25799SMartin Matuska For full functionality of these commands the following port must 1728fc25799SMartin Matuska be installed: sysutils/py-zfs 1738fc25799SMartin Matuska 1742965a453SKip Macy20100429: 1752965a453SKip Macy 'vm_page's are now hashed by physical address to an array of mutexes. 1762965a453SKip Macy Currently this is only used to serialize access to hold_count. Over 1772965a453SKip Macy time the page queue mutex will be peeled away. This changes the size 1782965a453SKip Macy of pmap on every architecture. And requires all callers of vm_page_hold 1792965a453SKip Macy and vm_page_unhold to be updated. 1802965a453SKip Macy 18121edb039SAlexander Leidinger20100402: 18221edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there 18321edb039SAlexander Leidinger are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also 18421edb039SAlexander Leidinger affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the 18521edb039SAlexander Leidinger compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions 18621edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF=yes"). 18721edb039SAlexander Leidinger When WITH_CTF was specified there before this was silently ignored, 18821edb039SAlexander Leidinger so make sure that WITH_CTF is not used in places which could lead 18921edb039SAlexander Leidinger to unwanted behavior. 19021edb039SAlexander Leidinger 191841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn20100311: 192841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn The kernel option COMPAT_IA32 has been replaced with COMPAT_FREEBSD32 193841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn to allow 32-bit compatibility on non-x86 platforms. All kernel 194841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn configurations on amd64 and ia64 platforms using these options must 195841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn be modified accordingly. 196841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn 197279d8efeSEd Schouten20100113: 198279d8efeSEd Schouten The utmp user accounting database has been replaced with utmpx, 199279d8efeSEd Schouten the user accounting interface standardized by POSIX. 200279d8efeSEd Schouten Unfortunately the semantics of utmp and utmpx don't match, 201279d8efeSEd Schouten making it practically impossible to support both interfaces. 202279d8efeSEd Schouten The user accounting database is used by tools like finger(1), 203279d8efeSEd Schouten last(1), talk(1), w(1) and ac(8). 204279d8efeSEd Schouten 205279d8efeSEd Schouten All applications in the base system use utmpx. This means only 206279d8efeSEd Schouten local binaries (e.g. from the ports tree) may still use these 207279d8efeSEd Schouten utmp database files. These applications must be rebuilt to make 208279d8efeSEd Schouten use of utmpx. 209279d8efeSEd Schouten 210279d8efeSEd Schouten After the system has been upgraded, it is safe to remove the old 211279d8efeSEd Schouten log files (/var/run/utmp, /var/log/lastlog and /var/log/wtmp*), 2125ab7f1fcSEd Schouten assuming their contents is of no importance anymore. Old wtmp 2135ab7f1fcSEd Schouten databases can only be used by last(1) and ac(8) after they have 2145ab7f1fcSEd Schouten been converted to the new format using wtmpcvt(1). 215279d8efeSEd Schouten 216f7829d0dSAttilio Rao20100108: 217f7829d0dSAttilio Rao Introduce the kernel thread "deadlock resolver" (which can be enabled 218f7829d0dSAttilio Rao via the DEADLKRES option, see NOTES for more details) and the 219f7829d0dSAttilio Rao sleepq_type() function for sleepqueues. 220f7829d0dSAttilio Rao 221f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO20091202: 222f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO The rc.firewall and rc.firewall6 were unified, and 223f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO rc.firewall6 and rc.d/ip6fw were removed. 224f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO According to the removal of rc.d/ip6fw, ipv6_firewall_* rc 225f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO variables are obsoleted.

If you want to include just the one for 26663b49c2bSRui Paulo your wireless card, use the the devices iwn4965fw, iwn5000fw or 26763b49c2bSRui Paulo iwn5150fw. 26863b49c2bSRui Paulo 2692e77c5abSHiroki Sato20090926: 2702e77c5abSHiroki Sato The rc.d/network_ipv6, IPv6 configuration script has been integrated 2712e77c5abSHiroki Sato into rc.d/netif. The changes are the following: 2722e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2732e77c5abSHiroki Sato 1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF 2742e77c5abSHiroki Sato for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used. 2752e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head. 2762e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2772e77c5abSHiroki Sato Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not 2782e77c5abSHiroki Sato understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases. 2792e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2802e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but 2812e77c5abSHiroki Sato they are obsolete. 2822e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2832e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and 2842e77c5abSHiroki Sato "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead. 2852e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2862e77c5abSHiroki Sato If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and 2872e77c5abSHiroki Sato all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the 2882e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility. 2892e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2902e77c5abSHiroki Sato 3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6 2912e77c5abSHiroki Sato functionality of interfaces with no corresponding 2922e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag, 2932e77c5abSHiroki Sato and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8) 2942e77c5abSHiroki Sato is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details). 2952e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the 2962e77c5abSHiroki Sato disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by 2972e77c5abSHiroki Sato using ifconfig(8) like: 2982e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2992e77c5abSHiroki Sato ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled 3002e77c5abSHiroki Sato 3012e77c5abSHiroki Sato If YES, the default address selection policy is set as 3022e77c5abSHiroki Sato IPv6-preferred. 3032e77c5abSHiroki Sato 3042e77c5abSHiroki Sato The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO. 3052e77c5abSHiroki Sato 3062e77c5abSHiroki Sato 4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages, 3072e77c5abSHiroki Sato define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8) 3082e77c5abSHiroki Sato scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes 3092e77c5abSHiroki Sato UP. The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC 3102e77c5abSHiroki Sato (State-Less Address AutoConfiguration). 3112e77c5abSHiroki Sato 312350036a0SRui Paulo20090922: 313350036a0SRui Paulo 802.11s D3.03 support was committed.

As long as no more than 16 groups per process are used, 397456b5dd8SWarner Losh no changes should be visible. When more than 16 groups are used, old 398456b5dd8SWarner Losh binaries may fail if they call getgroups() or getgrouplist() with 399456b5dd8SWarner Losh statically sized storage. Recompiling will work around this, but 400456b5dd8SWarner Losh applications should be modified to use dynamically allocated storage 401456b5dd8SWarner Losh for group arrays as POSIX.1-2008 does not cap an implementation's 402456b5dd8SWarner Losh number of supported groups at NGROUPS_MAX+1 as previous versions did. 403838d9858SBrooks Davis 404456b5dd8SWarner Losh NFS and portalfs mounts may also be affected as the list of groups is 405456b5dd8SWarner Losh truncated to 16. Users of NFS who use more than 16 groups, should 406456b5dd8SWarner Losh take care that negative group permissions are not used on the exported 407456b5dd8SWarner Losh file systems as they will not be reliable unless a GSSAPI based 408456b5dd8SWarner Losh authentication method is used. 409838d9858SBrooks Davis 410651175c9SAttilio Rao20090616: 411456b5dd8SWarner Losh The compiling option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS has been introduced.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 50033cde130SBruce M Simpson The implementation of SSM within FreeBSD's IPv6 stack closely 50133cde130SBruce M Simpson follows the IPv4 implementation. 50233cde130SBruce M Simpson 50333cde130SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers: 50433cde130SBruce M Simpson 50533cde130SBruce M Simpson * The most important changes are that the ip6_output() and 50633cde130SBruce M Simpson ip6_input() paths no longer take the IN6_MULTI_LOCK, 50733cde130SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 50833cde130SBruce M Simpson 50933cde130SBruce M Simpson * As with the changes to the IPv4 stack to support SSM, filtering 51033cde130SBruce M Simpson of inbound multicast traffic must now be performed by transport 51133cde130SBruce M Simpson protocols within the IPv6 stack. This does not apply to TCP and 51233cde130SBruce M Simpson SCTP, however, it does apply to UDP in IPv6 and raw IPv6. 51333cde130SBruce M Simpson 51433cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KPIs used by IPv6 multicast are similar to those used by 51533cde130SBruce M Simpson the IPv4 stack, with the following differences: 51633cde130SBruce M Simpson * im6o_mc_filter() is analogous to imo_multicast_filter(). 51733cde130SBruce M Simpson * The legacy KAME entry points in6_joingroup and in6_leavegroup() 51833cde130SBruce M Simpson are shimmed to in6_mc_join() and in6_mc_leave() respectively. 51933cde130SBruce M Simpson * IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI() has been deprecated and removed. 52033cde130SBruce M Simpson * IPv6 relies on MLD for the DAD mechanism. KAME's internal KPIs 52133cde130SBruce M Simpson for MLDv1 have an additional 'timer' argument which is used to 52233cde130SBruce M Simpson jitter the initial membership report for the solicited-node 52333cde130SBruce M Simpson multicast membership on-link. 52433cde130SBruce M Simpson * This is not strictly needed for MLDv2, which already jitters 52533cde130SBruce M Simpson its report transmissions. However, the 'timer' argument is 52633cde130SBruce M Simpson preserved in case MLDv1 is active on the interface. 52733cde130SBruce M Simpson 52833cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KAME linked-list based IPv6 membership implementation has 52933cde130SBruce M Simpson been refactored to use a vector similar to that used by the IPv4 53033cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 53133cde130SBruce M Simpson Code which maintains a list of its own multicast memberships 53233cde130SBruce M Simpson internally, e.g. carp, has been updated to reflect the new 53333cde130SBruce M Simpson semantics. 53433cde130SBruce M Simpson 53533cde130SBruce M Simpson * There is a known Lock Order Reversal (LOR) due to in6_setscope() 53633cde130SBruce M Simpson acquiring the IF_AFDATA_LOCK and being called within ip6_output(). 53733cde130SBruce M Simpson Whilst MLDv2 tries to avoid this otherwise benign LOR, it is an 53833cde130SBruce M Simpson implementation constraint which needs to be addressed in HEAD. 53933cde130SBruce M Simpson 54033cde130SBruce M Simpson For application developers: 54133cde130SBruce M Simpson 54233cde130SBruce M Simpson * The changes are broadly similar to those made for the IPv4 54333cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 54433cde130SBruce M Simpson 54533cde130SBruce M Simpson * The use of IPv4 and IPv6 multicast socket options on the same 54633cde130SBruce M Simpson socket, using mapped addresses, HAS NOT been tested or supported. 54733cde130SBruce M Simpson 54833cde130SBruce M Simpson * There are a number of issues with the implementation of various 54933cde130SBruce M Simpson IPv6 multicast APIs which need to be resolved in the API surface 55033cde130SBruce M Simpson before the implementation is fully compatible with KAME userland 55133cde130SBruce M Simpson use, and these are mostly to do with interface index treatment. 55233cde130SBruce M Simpson 55333cde130SBruce M Simpson * The literature available discusses the use of either the delta / ASM 55433cde130SBruce M Simpson API with setsockopt(2)/getsockopt(2), or the full-state / ASM API 55533cde130SBruce M Simpson using setsourcefilter(3)/getsourcefilter(3). For more information 55633cde130SBruce M Simpson please refer to RFC 3768, 'Socket Interface Extensions for 55733cde130SBruce M Simpson Multicast Source Filters'. 55833cde130SBruce M Simpson 55933cde130SBruce M Simpson * Applications which use the published RFC 3678 APIs should be fine. 56033cde130SBruce M Simpson 56133cde130SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators: 56233cde130SBruce M Simpson 56333cde130SBruce M Simpson * The mtest(8) utility has been refactored to support IPv6, in 56433cde130SBruce M Simpson addition to IPv4. Interface addresses are no longer accepted 56533cde130SBruce M Simpson as arguments, their names must be used instead. The utility 56633cde130SBruce M Simpson will map the interface name to its first IPv4 address as 56733cde130SBruce M Simpson returned by getifaddrs(3). 56833cde130SBruce M Simpson 56933cde130SBruce M Simpson * The ifmcstat(8) utility has also been updated to print the MLDv2 57033cde130SBruce M Simpson endpoint state and source filter lists via sysctl(3). 57133cde130SBruce M Simpson 57233cde130SBruce M Simpson * The net.inet6.ip6.mcast.loop sysctl may be tuned to 0 to disable 57333cde130SBruce M Simpson loopback of IPv6 multicast datagrams by default; it defaults to 1 57433cde130SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. Disabling multicast loopback is 57533cde130SBruce M Simpson recommended for optimal system performance. 57633cde130SBruce M Simpson 57733cde130SBruce M Simpson * The IPv6 MROUTING code has been changed to examine this sysctl 57833cde130SBruce M Simpson instead of attempting to perform a group lookup before looping 57933cde130SBruce M Simpson back forwarded datagrams. 58033cde130SBruce M Simpson 58133cde130SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084. 58233cde130SBruce M Simpson 5838b8bf775SRobert Watson20090422: 584131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin Implement low-level Bluetooth HCI API. 585131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800083. 586131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin 5878b8bf775SRobert Watson20090419: 5888b8bf775SRobert Watson The layout of struct malloc_type, used by modules to register new 5898b8bf775SRobert Watson memory allocation types, has changed.

Typical symptoms include (but 61787437955SMaksim Yevmenkin not limited to) duplicated and/or missing characters when 61887437955SMaksim Yevmenkin low level console functions (such as gets) are used while 61987437955SMaksim Yevmenkin interrupts are enabled (for example geli password prompt, 62087437955SMaksim Yevmenkin mountroot prompt etc.). Disabling kbdmux(4) may help. 62187437955SMaksim Yevmenkin 6222f6a1858SMarko Zec20090407: 6232f6a1858SMarko Zec The size of structs vnet_net, vnet_inet and vnet_ipfw has changed; 6242f6a1858SMarko Zec kernel modules referencing any of the above need to be recompiled. 6252f6a1858SMarko Zec Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800075. 6262f6a1858SMarko Zec 627781d043cSIvan Voras20090320: 628781d043cSIvan Voras GEOM_PART has become the default partition slicer for storage devices, 629781d043cSIvan Voras replacing GEOM_MBR, GEOM_BSD, GEOM_PC98 and GEOM_GPT slicers. It 6309a07b548SIvan Voras introduces some changes: 6319a07b548SIvan Voras 6329a07b548SIvan Voras MSDOS/EBR: the devices created from MSDOS extended partition entries 6339a07b548SIvan Voras (EBR) can be named differently than with GEOM_MBR and are now symlinks 6349a07b548SIvan Voras to devices with offset-based names. fstabs may need to be modified. 6359a07b548SIvan Voras 6369a07b548SIvan Voras BSD: the "geometry does not match label" warning is harmless in most 6379a07b548SIvan Voras cases but it points to problems in file system misalignment with 6389a07b548SIvan Voras disk geometry. The "c" partition is now implicit, covers the whole 6399a07b548SIvan Voras top-level drive and cannot be (mis)used by users. 6409a07b548SIvan Voras 6419a07b548SIvan Voras General: Kernel dumps are now not allowed to be written to devices 6429a07b548SIvan Voras whose partition types indicate they are meant to be used for file 6439a07b548SIvan Voras systems (or, in case of MSDOS partitions, as something else than 6449a07b548SIvan Voras the "386BSD" type). 6459a07b548SIvan Voras 6469a07b548SIvan Voras Most of these changes date approximately from 200812. 647781d043cSIvan Voras 648443fc317SBruce M Simpson20090319: 6492b78d306SAndrew Thompson The uscanner(4) driver has been removed from the kernel.

The config(5) options for statically 658443fc317SBruce M Simpson compiling this code remain the same, i.e. 'options MROUTING'. 659443fc317SBruce M Simpson 6601df14375SRobert Watson20090315: 6611df14375SRobert Watson Support for the IFF_NEEDSGIANT network interface flag has been 6621df14375SRobert Watson removed, which means that non-MPSAFE network device drivers are no 6631df14375SRobert Watson longer supported. In particular, if_ar, if_sr, and network device 6641df14375SRobert Watson drivers from the old (legacy) USB stack can no longer be built or 6651df14375SRobert Watson used. 6661df14375SRobert Watson 667e667034dSRui Paulo20090313: 6687e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan POSIX.1 Native Language Support (NLS) has been enabled in libc and 6697e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan a bunch of new language catalog files have also been added. 6707e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan This means that some common libc messages are now localized and 6717e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan they depend on the LC_MESSAGES environmental variable. 6727e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan 6737e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan20090313: 674e667034dSRui Paulo The k8temp(4) driver has been renamed to amdtemp(4) since 6758fb1e038SDavid E.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 680d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 681d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers, the most important changes are that the 682d10910e6SBruce M Simpson ip_output() and ip_input() paths no longer take the IN_MULTI_LOCK(), 683d10910e6SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 684d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 685d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transport protocols (UDP, Raw IP) are now responsible for filtering 686d10910e6SBruce M Simpson inbound multicast traffic according to group membership and source 687d10910e6SBruce M Simpson filters. The imo_multicast_filter() KPI exists for this purpose. 688d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transports which do not use multicast (SCTP, TCP) already reject 689d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast by default. Forwarding and receive performance may improve 690d10910e6SBruce M Simpson as a mutex acquisition is no longer needed in the ip_input() 691d10910e6SBruce M Simpson low-level input path. in_addmulti() and in_delmulti() are shimmed 692d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to new KPIs which exist to support SSM in-kernel. 693d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 694d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For application developers, it is recommended that loopback of 695d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast datagrams be disabled for best performance, as this 696d10910e6SBruce M Simpson will still cause the lock to be taken for each looped-back 697d10910e6SBruce M Simpson datagram transmission. The net.inet.ip.mcast.loop sysctl may 698d10910e6SBruce M Simpson be tuned to 0 to disable loopback by default; it defaults to 1 699d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. 700d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 701d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators, to obtain best performance with 702d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast reception and multiple groups, it is always recommended 703d10910e6SBruce M Simpson that a card with a suitably precise hash filter is used. Hash 704d10910e6SBruce M Simpson collisions will still result in the lock being taken within the 705d10910e6SBruce M Simpson transport protocol input path to check group membership. 706d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 707d10910e6SBruce M Simpson If deploying FreeBSD in an environment with IGMP snooping switches, 708d10910e6SBruce M Simpson it is recommended that the net.inet.igmp.sendlocal sysctl remain 709d10910e6SBruce M Simpson enabled; this forces 224.0.0.0/24 group membership to be announced 710d10910e6SBruce M Simpson via IGMP. 711d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 712d10910e6SBruce M Simpson The size of 'struct igmpstat' has changed; netstat needs to be 713d10910e6SBruce M Simpson recompiled to reflect this. 714d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800070. 715d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 716d10910e6SBruce M Simpson20090309: 717a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson libusb20.so.1 is now installed as libusb.so.1 and the ports system 718a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson updated to use it.

This means uart(4) is now the 930f4d811f0SEd Schouten default serial port driver on those platforms as well. 931f4d811f0SEd Schouten 932f4d811f0SEd Schouten To prevent collisions with the sio(4) driver, the uart(4) driver 933f4d811f0SEd Schouten uses different names for its device nodes. This means the 934f4d811f0SEd Schouten onboard serial port will now most likely be called "ttyu0" 935f4d811f0SEd Schouten instead of "ttyd0". You may need to reconfigure applications to 936f4d811f0SEd Schouten use the new device names. 937f4d811f0SEd Schouten 938db96ec0bSEd Schouten When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update 939db96ec0bSEd Schouten /boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel. 940db96ec0bSEd Schouten If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints 941db96ec0bSEd Schouten at the loader prompt: 942db96ec0bSEd Schouten 943db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.at="isa" 944db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" 945db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" 946db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.irq="4" 947db96ec0bSEd Schouten boot -s 948db96ec0bSEd Schouten 949bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar20080609: 950bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar The gpt(8) utility has been removed.

The underlying device 973de570baaSSam Leffler is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are 974de570baaSSam Leffler cloned with ifconfig. This requires changes to rc.conf files. 9755318f840SWarner Losh For example, change: 9765318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" 9775318f840SWarner Losh to 9785318f840SWarner Losh wlans_ath0=wlan0 9795318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" 9800f95e625SWarner Losh see rc.conf(5) for more details. In addition, mergemaster of 9810f95e625SWarner Losh /etc/rc.d is highly recommended. Simultaneous update of userland 9820f95e625SWarner Losh and kernel wouldn't hurt either. 983de570baaSSam Leffler 984de570baaSSam Leffler As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta 985de570baaSSam Leffler modules were merged into the base wlan module. All references 986de570baaSSam Leffler to these modules (e.g. in kernel config files) must be removed. 987de570baaSSam Leffler 988ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim20080408: 989ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim psm(4) has gained write(2) support in native operation level. 990ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim Arbitrary commands can be written to /dev/psm%d and status can 991ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim be read back from it. Therefore, an application is responsible 992ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim for status validation and error recovery.

To 997e4c67b94SJeff Roberson run legacy applications linked against KSE libmap.conf may 998e4c67b94SJeff Roberson be used. The following libmap.conf may be used to ensure 999e4c67b94SJeff Roberson compatibility with any prior release: 1000e4c67b94SJeff Roberson 1001e4c67b94SJeff Roberson libpthread.so.1 libthr.so.1 1002e4c67b94SJeff Roberson libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2 1003e4c67b94SJeff Roberson libkse.so.3 libthr.so.3 1004e4c67b94SJeff Roberson 10058775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar20080301: 10068775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar The layout of struct vmspace has changed. This affects libkvm 10078775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar and any executables that link against libkvm and use the 10088775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar kvm_getprocs() function. In particular, but not exclusively, 10098775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar it affects ps(1), fstat(1), pkill(1), systat(1), top(1) and w(1). 10108775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar The effects are minimal, but it's advisable to upgrade world 10118775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar nonetheless. 10128775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar 1013df09ebc0SJack F Vogel20080229: 1014df09ebc0SJack F Vogel The latest em driver no longer has support in it for the 1015df09ebc0SJack F Vogel 82575 adapter, this is now moved to the igb driver. The 1016df09ebc0SJack F Vogel split was done to make new features that are incompatible 1017df09ebc0SJack F Vogel with older hardware easier to do. 1018df09ebc0SJack F Vogel 10191669d8afSAndrew Thompson20080220: 10201669d8afSAndrew Thompson The new geom_lvm(4) geom class has been renamed to geom_linux_lvm(4), 10211669d8afSAndrew Thompson likewise the kernel option is now GEOM_LINUX_LVM. 10221669d8afSAndrew Thompson 10232427fa19SKris Kennaway20080211: 10242427fa19SKris Kennaway The default NFS mount mode has changed from UDP to TCP for 10252427fa19SKris Kennaway increased reliability.

The old fts(3) ABI is preserved 103748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy through symbol versioning in libc, so third-party binaries 103848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy using fts(3) should still work, although they will not take 103948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy advantage of the extended types. At the same time, some 104048aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy third-party software might fail to build after this change 104148aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy due to unportable assumptions made in its source code about 104248aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy fts(3) structure members. Such software should be fixed 104348aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy by its vendor or, in the worst case, in the ports tree. 104448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy FreeBSD_version 800015 marks this change for the unlikely 104548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy case that a portable fix is impossible. 104648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy 104751dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov20080123: 10488015f45cSWarner Losh To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running 104951dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov FreeBSD not older than 6.0-RELEASE. Upgrading to -current 10508015f45cSWarner Losh from 5.x now requires a stop over at RELENG_6 or RELENG_7 systems. 10518015f45cSWarner Losh 1052ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato20071128: 1053ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato The ADAPTIVE_GIANT kernel option has been retired because its 1054ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato functionality is the default now. 1055ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato 1056e393af84SMarius Strobl20071118: 1057e393af84SMarius Strobl The AT keyboard emulation of sunkbd(4) has been turned on 1058e393af84SMarius Strobl by default. In order to make the special symbols of the Sun 1059e393af84SMarius Strobl keyboards driven by sunkbd(4) work under X these now have 1060e393af84SMarius Strobl to be configured the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven 1061e393af84SMarius Strobl by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation), f.e.: 1062e393af84SMarius Strobl 1063e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbLayout" "us" 1064e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbRules" "xorg" 1065e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbSymbols" "pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+us" 1066e393af84SMarius Strobl 106733d3fffaSMarius Strobl20071024: 106833d3fffaSMarius Strobl It has been decided that it is desirable to provide ABI 106933d3fffaSMarius Strobl backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of the 107033d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was 107133d3fffaSMarius Strobl broken with the introduction of PCI domain support (see the 107233d3fffaSMarius Strobl 20070930 entry). Unfortunately, this required the ABI of 107333d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF to be broken again in order to be able to 107433d3fffaSMarius Strobl provide backwards compatibility to the old version of that 107533d3fffaSMarius Strobl IOCTL. Thus consumers of PCIOCGETCONF have to be recompiled 107633d3fffaSMarius Strobl again. As for prominent ports this affects neither pciutils 107733d3fffaSMarius Strobl nor xorg-server this time, the hal port needs to be rebuilt 107833d3fffaSMarius Strobl however. 107933d3fffaSMarius Strobl 10803d461febSJulian Elischer20071020: 10813d461febSJulian Elischer The misnamed kthread_create() and friends have been renamed 10823d461febSJulian Elischer to kproc_create() etc. Many of the callers already 10833d461febSJulian Elischer used kproc_start().. 10843d461febSJulian Elischer I will return kthread_create() and friends in a while 10853d461febSJulian Elischer with implementations that actually create threads, not procs. 10863d461febSJulian Elischer Renaming corresponds with version 800002. 10873d461febSJulian Elischer 1088c15e0967SKen Smith20071010: 1089c15e0967SKen Smith RELENG_7 branched. 1090c15e0967SKen Smith 1091dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshCOMMON ITEMS: 1092dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1093a24eff53SWarner Losh General Notes 1094a24eff53SWarner Losh ------------- 1095456b5dd8SWarner Losh Avoid using make -j when upgrading. While generally safe, there are 1096456b5dd8SWarner Losh sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with 10971733d35cSRuslan Ermilov -j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there 1098456b5dd8SWarner Losh have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This 1099456b5dd8SWarner Losh is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one 1100456b5dd8SWarner Losh that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when 1101456b5dd8SWarner Losh several months have passed on the -current branch). 1102a24eff53SWarner Losh 11035780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 11045780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 1105456b5dd8SWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. To run 1106456b5dd8SWarner Losh your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make 1107456b5dd8SWarner Losh commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details. 11085780f3baSWarner Losh 1109456b5dd8SWarner Losh When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best 1110456b5dd8SWarner Losh to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, 1111456b5dd8SWarner Losh then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade 1112456b5dd8SWarner Losh path, and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try 1113456b5dd8SWarner Losh this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade. 1114081ff8acSDoug Barton 11158fc25799SMartin Matuska ZFS notes 11168fc25799SMartin Matuska --------- 11178fc25799SMartin Matuska When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow 11188fc25799SMartin Matuska these two steps: 11198fc25799SMartin Matuska 11208fc25799SMartin Matuska 1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block 11218fc25799SMartin Matuska (this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld") 11228fc25799SMartin Matuska 11238fc25799SMartin Matuska 2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive 11248fc25799SMartin Matuska 11258fc25799SMartin Matuska The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first 11268fc25799SMartin Matuska partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ad0: 11278fc25799SMartin Matuska "gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0" 11288fc25799SMartin Matuska 11298fc25799SMartin Matuska Non-boot pools do not need these updates. 11308fc25799SMartin Matuska 1131dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 1132dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 1133ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 11341cf0ef11SDavid E.

If in doubt, please track -stable which has 12281dece4a9SWarner Losh much fewer pitfalls. 12291dece4a9SWarner Losh 1230134d2e86SWarner Losh [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you 1231134d2e86SWarner Losh should disable them at this point so they don't crash your 1232134d2e86SWarner Losh system on reboot. 1233134d2e86SWarner Losh 1234ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do 1235ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh fsck -p 1236ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -u / 1237ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -a 12386586253aSWarner Losh cd src 123947d0d01fSWarner Losh adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time 1240f6a0ef01SWarner Losh Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that 1241f6a0ef01SWarner Losh you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. 1242ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh 1243a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step 1244a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 1245a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 1246a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 1247a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 124850e8eca6SDoug Barton for potential gotchas. The -U option is also useful to consider. 124950e8eca6SDoug Barton See mergemaster(8) for more information. 1250a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 1251835284beSWarner Losh [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time 1252835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 1253835284beSWarner Losh step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to 1254835284beSWarner Losh install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make 1255835284beSWarner Losh install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated 1256835284beSWarner Losh from current before 20020224 or from -stable before 20020408. 1257835284beSWarner Losh 125894877c06SAlexander Leidinger [6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries 125994877c06SAlexander Leidinger can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make 126094877c06SAlexander Leidinger sure that no program is using those libraries anymore. 126194877c06SAlexander Leidinger 1262456b5dd8SWarner Losh [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to 1263456b5dd8SWarner Losh do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in 1264456b5dd8SWarner Losh your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is 1265456b5dd8SWarner Losh hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is 1266456b5dd8SWarner Losh required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. And so on 1267456b5dd8SWarner Losh for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7. 1268c74fe6afSWarner Losh 1269e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 1270e5dc5f61SWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. 1271e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 127221c075eaSWarner Losh [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have 1273e5dc5f61SWarner Losh cvs prune empty directories. 1274e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1275e5dc5f61SWarner Losh If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 1276e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 1277e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 1278e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1279e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 1280e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 1281e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 1282dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 1283dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1284f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 12851fc1a0dcSWarner Loshbreakages in tracking -current.
