These features attempt to detect 1469f7bcf3SWarner Losh incorrect use of system primitives, and encourage loud failure 1569f7bcf3SWarner Losh through extra sanity checking and fail stop semantics. They 1669f7bcf3SWarner Losh also substantially impact system performance. If you want to 1769f7bcf3SWarner Losh do performance measurement, benchmarking, and optimization, 1869f7bcf3SWarner Losh you'll want to turn them off. This includes various WITNESS- 1969f7bcf3SWarner Losh related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc debugging flags 2069f7bcf3SWarner Losh in userland, and various verbose features in the kernel. Many 2169f7bcf3SWarner Losh developers choose to disable these features on build machines 22a19f8ddaSDavid E. O'Brien to maximize performance. 237c0435b9SKip Macy20061110: 247c0435b9SKip Macy The MUTEX_PROFILING option has been renamed to LOCK_PROFILING. 257c0435b9SKip Macy The lockmgr object layout has been changed as a result of having 267c0435b9SKip Macy a lock_object embedded in it. As a consequence all file system 277c0435b9SKip Macy kernel modules must be re-compiled. The mutex profiling man page 287c0435b9SKip Macy has not yet been updated to reflect this change. 29c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien 30013d6d8cSJohn Birrell20061026: 318460a577SJohn Birrell KSE in the kernel has now been made optional and turned on by 32013d6d8cSJohn Birrell default. Use 'nooption KSE' in your kernel config to turn it 33013d6d8cSJohn Birrell off. All kernel modules *must* be recompiled after this change. 34013d6d8cSJohn Birrell There-after, modules from a KSE kernel should be compatible with 35013d6d8cSJohn Birrell modules from a NOKSE kernel due to the temporary padding fields 36013d6d8cSJohn Birrell added to 'struct proc'. 378460a577SJohn Birrell 3813b3ebf1SBruce M Simpson20060929: 3913b3ebf1SBruce M Simpson mrouted and its utilities have been removed from the base system. 4013b3ebf1SBruce M Simpson 41014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov20060927: 42014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov Some ioctl(2) command codes have changed. Full backward ABI 43014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov compatibility is provided if the "options COMPAT_FREEBSD6" is 44014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov present in the kernel configuration file. Make sure to add 45014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov this option to your kernel config file, or recompile X.Org 46014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov and the rest of ports; otherwise they may refuse to work. 47014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov 48481544f3SBruce M Simpson20060924: 49481544f3SBruce M Simpson tcpslice has been removed from the base system. 50481544f3SBruce M Simpson 5160206edeSRuslan Ermilov20060913: 5260206edeSRuslan Ermilov The sizes of struct tcpcb (and struct xtcpcb) have changed due to 5360206edeSRuslan Ermilov the rewrite of TCP syncookies. Tools like netstat, sockstat, and 5460206edeSRuslan Ermilov systat needs to be rebuilt. 5560206edeSRuslan Ermilov 5650bdd720SSam Leffler20060903: 5750bdd720SSam Leffler libpcap updated to v0.9.4 and tcpdump to v3.9.4 5850bdd720SSam Leffler 593b4109aaSJulian Elischer20060816: 603b4109aaSJulian Elischer The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD_EXTENDED option is gone and the behaviour 615f738ae6SMaxim Konovalov for IPFIREWALL_FORWARD is now as it was before when it was first 623b4109aaSJulian Elischer committed and for years after. The behaviour is now ON. 633b4109aaSJulian Elischer 64c8450a54SJung-uk Kim20060725: 65c8450a54SJung-uk Kim enigma(1)/crypt(1) utility has been changed on 64 bit architectures. 66c8450a54SJung-uk Kim Now it can decrypt files created from different architectures. 67c8450a54SJung-uk Kim Unfortunately, it is no longer able to decrypt a cipher text 68c8450a54SJung-uk Kim generated with an older version on 64 bit architectures. 69c8450a54SJung-uk Kim If you have such a file, you need old utility to decrypt it. 70c8450a54SJung-uk Kim 715d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst20060709: 725d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst The interface version of the i4b kernel part has changed. So 735d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst after updating the kernel sources and compiling a new kernel, 745d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst the i4b user space tools in "/usr/src/usr.sbin/i4b" must also 755d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst be rebuilt, and vice versa. 765d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst 7744a8277bSRink Springer20060627: 7844a8277bSRink Springer The XBOX kernel now defaults to the nfe(4) driver instead of 7944a8277bSRink Springer the nve(4) driver. Please update your configuration 8044a8277bSRink Springer accordingly. 8144a8277bSRink Springer 82647ef1a9SMarius Strobl20060514: 83647ef1a9SMarius Strobl The i386-only lnc(4) driver for the AMD Am7900 LANCE and Am79C9xx 84647ef1a9SMarius Strobl PCnet family of NICs has been removed. The new le(4) driver serves 85647ef1a9SMarius Strobl as an equivalent but cross-platform replacement with the pcn(4) 86647ef1a9SMarius Strobl driver still providing performance-optimized support for the subset 87647ef1a9SMarius Strobl of AMD Am79C971 PCnet-FAST and greater chips as before. 88647ef1a9SMarius Strobl 899f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas20060511: 909f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas The machdep.* sysctls and the adjkerntz utility have been 919f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas modified a bit. The new adjkerntz utility uses the new 929f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas sysctl names and sysctlbyname() calls, so it may be impossible 939f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas to run an old /sbin/adjkerntz utility in single-user mode 949f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas with a new kernel. Replace the `adjkerntz -i' step before 959f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas `make installworld' with: 969f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas 979f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/adjkerntz/adjkerntz -i 989f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas 999f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas and proceed as usual with the rest of the installworld-stage 1009f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas steps. Otherwise, you risk installing binaries with their 1019f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas timestamp set several hours in the future, especially if 1029f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas you are running with local time set to GMT+X hours. 1039f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas 104a0a9755eSMax Laier20060412: 105a0a9755eSMax Laier The ip6fw utility has been removed. The behavior provided by 106a0a9755eSMax Laier ip6fw has been in ipfw2 for a good while and the rc.d scripts 1074919094eSChristian Brueffer have been updated to deal with it. There are some rules that 108a0a9755eSMax Laier might not migrate cleanly. Use rc.firewall6 as a template to 109a0a9755eSMax Laier rewrite rules. 110a0a9755eSMax Laier 111ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar20060428: 112ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar The puc(4) driver has been overhauled. The ebus(4) and sbus(4) 113ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar attachments have been removed. Make sure to configure scc(4) 114ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar on sparc64. Note also that by default puc(4) will use uart(4) 115ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar and not sio(4) for serial ports because interrupt handling has 116ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar been optimized for multi-port serial cards and only uart(4) 117ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar implements the interface to support it. 118ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar 119ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar20060330: 120ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar The scc(4) driver replaces puc(4) for Serial Communications 121ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar Controllers (SCCs) like the Siemens SAB82532 and the Zilog 122ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar Z8530. On sparc64, it is advised to add scc(4) to the kernel 123ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar configuration to make sure that the serial ports remain 124ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar functional. 125ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar 126c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov20060317: 127c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov Most world/kernel related NO_* build options changed names. 128c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov New knobs have common prefixes WITHOUT_*/WITH_* (modelled 129c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov after FreeBSD ports) and should be set in /etc/src.conf 130c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov (the src.conf(5) manpage is provided). Full backwards 131c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov compatibility is maintained for the time being though it's 132c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov highly recommended to start moving old options out of the 133c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov system-wide /etc/make.conf file into the new /etc/src.conf 134c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov while also properly renaming them. More conversions will 135c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov likely follow.

The latter can be loaded as the 3dfx_linux.ko 14605ab391fSYaroslav Tykhiy kernel module. Loading it alone should suffice to get 3dfx support 14705ab391fSYaroslav Tykhiy for Linux apps because it will pull in 3dfx.ko and linux.ko through 14805ab391fSYaroslav Tykhiy its dependencies. 149375ce679SYaroslav Tykhiy 15019dc3462SWarner Losh20060204: 15119dc3462SWarner Losh The 'audit' group was added to support the new auditing functionality 15219dc3462SWarner Losh in the base system. Be sure to follow the directions for updating, 15319dc3462SWarner Losh including the requirement to run mergemaster -p. 15419dc3462SWarner Losh 155dc422d87SYaroslav Tykhiy20060201: 156dc422d87SYaroslav Tykhiy The kernel ABI to file system modules was changed on i386. 157dc422d87SYaroslav Tykhiy Please make sure that your kernel and modules are in sync. 158dc422d87SYaroslav Tykhiy 159347daa0fSJulian Elischer20060118: 160347daa0fSJulian Elischer This actually occured some time ago, but installing the kernel 161347daa0fSJulian Elischer now also installs a bunch of symbol files for the kernel modules. 1626aa6311fSPav Lucistnik This increases the size of /boot/kernel to about 67Mbytes. You 163347daa0fSJulian Elischer will need twice this if you will eventually back this up to kernel.old 164347daa0fSJulian Elischer on your next install. 165347daa0fSJulian Elischer If you have a shortage of room in your root partition, you should add 166347daa0fSJulian Elischer -DINSTALL_NODEBUG to your make arguments or add INSTALL_NODEBUG="yes" 167347daa0fSJulian Elischer to your /etc/make.conf. 168347daa0fSJulian Elischer 169cc61a0b1SJason Evans20060113: 170cc61a0b1SJason Evans libc's malloc implementation has been replaced. This change has the 171cc61a0b1SJason Evans potential to uncover application bugs that previously went unnoticed. 172cc61a0b1SJason Evans See the malloc(3) manual page for more details. 173cc61a0b1SJason Evans 1747f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff20060112: 1757f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff The generic netgraph(4) cookie has been changed. If you upgrade 1767f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff kernel passing this point, you also need to upgrade userland 1777f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff and netgraph(4) utilities like ports/net/mpd or ports/net/mpd4. 1787f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff 1796bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin20060106: 18090482dafSJohn Baldwin si(4)'s device files now contain the unit number. 18190482dafSJohn Baldwin Uses of {cua,tty}A[0-9a-f] should be replaced by {cua,tty}A0[0-9a-f]. 18290482dafSJohn Baldwin 18390482dafSJohn Baldwin20060106: 1846bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin The kernel ABI was mostly destroyed due to a change in the size 1856bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin of struct lock_object which is nested in other structures such 1866bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin as mutexes which are nested in all sorts of other structures. 1876bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin Make sure your kernel and modules are in sync. 1886bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin 18952a16db3SAlexander Leidinger20051231: 19052a16db3SAlexander Leidinger The page coloring algorithm in the VM subsystem was converted 19152a16db3SAlexander Leidinger from tuning with kernel options to autotuning. Please remove 19252a16db3SAlexander Leidinger any PQ_* option except PQ_NOOPT from your kernel config. 19352a16db3SAlexander Leidinger 1946dba929aSSam Leffler20051211: 1956dba929aSSam Leffler The net80211-related tools in the tools/tools/ath directory 1966dba929aSSam Leffler have been moved to tools/tools/net80211 and renamed with a 1976dba929aSSam Leffler "wlan" prefix. Scripts that use them should be adjusted 1986dba929aSSam Leffler accordingly. 1996dba929aSSam Leffler 200a0cdeaecSDoug Barton20051202: 201a0cdeaecSDoug Barton Scripts in the local_startup directories (as defined in 202a0cdeaecSDoug Barton /etc/defaults/rc.conf) that have the new rc.d semantics will 203a0cdeaecSDoug Barton now be run as part of the base system rcorder. If there are 204a0cdeaecSDoug Barton errors or problems with one of these local scripts, it could 205a0cdeaecSDoug Barton cause boot problems. If you encounter such problems, boot in 206a0cdeaecSDoug Barton single user mode, remove that script from the */rc.d directory. 207a0cdeaecSDoug Barton Please report the problem to the port's maintainer, and the 208a0cdeaecSDoug Barton freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list. 209a0cdeaecSDoug Barton 210b090e4ceSGleb Smirnoff20051129: 211a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues The nodev mount option was deprecated in RELENG_6 (where it 212a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues was a no-op), and is now unsupported. If you have nodev or dev listed 213a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues in /etc/fstab, remove it, otherwise it will result in a mount error. 214a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues 215a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues20051129: 216b090e4ceSGleb Smirnoff ABI between ipfw(4) and ipfw(8) has been changed. You need 217b090e4ceSGleb Smirnoff to rebuild ipfw(8) when rebuilding kernel. 218b090e4ceSGleb Smirnoff 219d6b4b3b3SDavid E. O'Brien20051108: 220d6b4b3b3SDavid E. O'Brien rp(4)'s device files now contain the unit number. 221d6b4b3b3SDavid E. O'Brien Uses of {cua,tty}R[0-9a-f] should be replaced by {cua,tty}R0[0-9a-f]. 222d6b4b3b3SDavid E. O'Brien 223a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy20051029: 224a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy /etc/rc.d/ppp-user has been renamed to /etc/rc.d/ppp. 225a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy Its /etc/rc.conf.d configuration file has been `ppp' from 226a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy the beginning, and hence there is no need to touch it. 227a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy 228fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy20051014: 229fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy Now most modules get their build-time options from the kernel 230fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy configuration file. A few modules still have fixed options 231fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy due to their non-conformant implementation, but they will be 232fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy corrected eventually. You may need to review the options of 233fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy the modules in use, explicitly specify the non-default options 234fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy in the kernel configuration file, and rebuild the kernel and 235fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy modules afterwards. 236fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy 237114d09d8SGleb Smirnoff20051001: 238114d09d8SGleb Smirnoff kern.polling.enable sysctl MIB is now deprecated. Use ifconfig(8) 239114d09d8SGleb Smirnoff to turn polling(4) on your interfaces. 240114d09d8SGleb Smirnoff 241b6de9e91SMax Laier20050927: 242b6de9e91SMax Laier The old bridge(4) implementation was retired. The new 243b6de9e91SMax Laier if_bridge(4) serves as a full functional replacement. 244b6de9e91SMax Laier 245bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO20050722: 246bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO The ai_addrlen of a struct addrinfo was changed to a socklen_t 247bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO to conform to POSIX-2001. This change broke an ABI 248bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO compatibility on 64 bit architecture. You have to recompile 249bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO userland programs that use getaddrinfo(3) on 64 bit 250bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO architecture. 251bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO 25299b22782SKen Smith20050711: 25399b22782SKen Smith RELENG_6 branched here. 25499b22782SKen Smith 2557657f595SBrooks Davis20050629: 2567657f595SBrooks Davis The pccard_ifconfig rc.conf variable has been removed and a new 2577657f595SBrooks Davis variable, ifconfig_DEFAULT has been introduced. Unlike 2587657f595SBrooks Davis pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT applies to ALL interfaces that 2597657f595SBrooks Davis do not have ifconfig_ifn entries rather than just those in 2607657f595SBrooks Davis removable_interfaces. 2617657f595SBrooks Davis 262d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav20050616: 263d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav Some previous versions of PAM have permitted the use of 264d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav non-absolute paths in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/* when referring 265d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav to third party PAM modules in /usr/local/lib. A change has been 266d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav made to require the use of absolute paths in order to avoid 267d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav ambiguity and dependence on library path configuration, which may 268d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav affect existing configurations. 269d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav 270ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis20050610: 271ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis Major changes to network interface API. All drivers must be 272ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis recompiled. Drivers not in the base system will need to be 273ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis updated to the new APIs. 274ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis 275038164a1SGarance A Drosehn20050609: 276038164a1SGarance A Drosehn Changes were made to kinfo_proc in sys/user.h. Please recompile 277038164a1SGarance A Drosehn userland, or commands like `fstat', `pkill', `ps', `top' and `w' 278038164a1SGarance A Drosehn will not behave correctly. 279038164a1SGarance A Drosehn 28031f91694SJoseph Koshy The API and ABI for hwpmc(4) have changed with the addition 28131f91694SJoseph Koshy of sampling support. Please recompile lib/libpmc(3) and 28231f91694SJoseph Koshy usr.sbin/{pmcstat,pmccontrol}. 28331f91694SJoseph Koshy 284a8d23252SBrooks Davis20050606: 285a8d23252SBrooks Davis The OpenBSD dhclient was imported in place of the ISC dhclient 286a8d23252SBrooks Davis and the network interface configuration scripts were updated 287a8d23252SBrooks Davis accordingly. If you use DHCP to configure your interfaces, you 288a8d23252SBrooks Davis must now run devd. Also, DNS updating was lost so you will need 289a8d23252SBrooks Davis to find a workaround if you use this feature. 290a8d23252SBrooks Davis 29119dc3462SWarner Losh The '_dhcp' user was added to support the OpenBSD dhclient. Be 29219dc3462SWarner Losh sure to run mergemaster -p (like you are supposed to do every time 29319dc3462SWarner Losh anyway). 29419dc3462SWarner Losh 295dfa58a49SAndrew Thompson20050605: 296dfa58a49SAndrew Thompson if_bridge was added to the tree.

Specifically, if you intend to use WEP encryption 39387c9e370SSam Leffler with an 802.11 device load/configure wlan_wep; if you want to 39487c9e370SSam Leffler use WPA with the ath driver load/configure wlan_tkip, wlan_ccmp, 39587c9e370SSam Leffler and wlan_xauth as required. 39687c9e370SSam Leffler 39771c1c49aSBrian Somers20041213: 39871c1c49aSBrian Somers The behaviour of ppp(8) has changed slightly. If lqr is enabled 39971c1c49aSBrian Somers (``enable lqr''), older versions would revert to LCP ECHO mode on 40071c1c49aSBrian Somers negotiation failure. Now, ``enable echo'' is required for this 40171c1c49aSBrian Somers behaviour. The ppp version number has been bumped to 3.4.2 to 40271c1c49aSBrian Somers reflect the change. 40371c1c49aSBrian Somers 40488046524SSam Leffler20041201: 40588046524SSam Leffler The wlan support has been updated to split the crypto support 40688046524SSam Leffler into separate modules. For static WEP you must configure the 40788046524SSam Leffler wlan_wep module in your system or build and install the module 40888046524SSam Leffler in place where it can be loaded (the kernel will auto-load 40988046524SSam Leffler the module when a wep key is configured). 41088046524SSam Leffler 41188046524SSam Leffler20041201: 41288046524SSam Leffler The ath driver has been updated to split the tx rate control 41388046524SSam Leffler algorithm into a separate module. You need to include either 41488046524SSam Leffler ath_rate_onoe or ath_rate_amrr when configuring the kernel. 41588046524SSam Leffler 41681adddf3SJohn Baldwin20041116: 41781adddf3SJohn Baldwin Support for systems with an 80386 CPU has been removed.

From time to time in the 450a24eff53SWarner Losh past there have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or 451a24eff53SWarner Losh installworld. This is especially true when upgrading between 452a24eff53SWarner Losh "distant" versions (eg one that cross a major release boundary 453a24eff53SWarner Losh or several minor releases, or when several months have passed 454a24eff53SWarner Losh on the -current branch). 455a24eff53SWarner Losh 4565780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 4575780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 4585780f3baSWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. 4595780f3baSWarner Losh To run your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", 4605780f3baSWarner Losh prefix all make commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual 4615780f3baSWarner Losh page for more details. 4625780f3baSWarner Losh 463081ff8acSDoug Barton When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally 464081ff8acSDoug Barton best to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch 465081ff8acSDoug Barton first, then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested 466081ff8acSDoug Barton upgrade path, and has the highest probability of being successful. 467081ff8acSDoug Barton Please try this approach before reporting problems with a major 468081ff8acSDoug Barton version upgrade. 469081ff8acSDoug Barton 470dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 471dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 472ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 4731cf0ef11SDavid E.
