These features attempt to detect incorrect use of 18456b5dd8SWarner Losh system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity 19456b5dd8SWarner Losh checking and fail stop semantics. They also substantially impact 20456b5dd8SWarner Losh system performance. If you want to do performance measurement, 21456b5dd8SWarner Losh benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off. This 22456b5dd8SWarner Losh includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc 23456b5dd8SWarner Losh debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the 24456b5dd8SWarner Losh kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build 2599e449f2SJason Evans machines to maximize performance. (To completely disable malloc 267d4374f6SDimitry Andric debugging, define WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/src.conf and rebuild 277d4374f6SDimitry Andric world, or to merely disable the most expensive debugging functionality 287d4374f6SDimitry Andric at runtime, run "ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".) 295ad05815SWarner Losh 30110a2fa9SLexi Winter20250823: 31*929f5966SLexi Winter The set of pkgbase packages for Kerberos and OpenSSL has changed. 32*929f5966SLexi Winter After updating past 250e77d4f0a5, you should check 'pkg orphans' 33*929f5966SLexi Winter and remove any orphaned packages, then examine the output of 34*929f5966SLexi Winter 'pkg install -r base -g FreeBSD-openssl\* FreeBSD-kerberos\*' 35*929f5966SLexi Winter and install any new packages you need. 36*929f5966SLexi Winter 37*929f5966SLexi Winter20250823: 38110a2fa9SLexi Winter To restore bridge(4)'s ABI compatibility with ifconfig from 14.x or 39110a2fa9SLexi Winter earlier, the size of struct ifbreq has changed, so you must update 40110a2fa9SLexi Winter the kernel and /sbin/ifconfig at the same time or you will not be 41110a2fa9SLexi Winter able to add interfaces to bridge. This is particularly important 42110a2fa9SLexi Winter if you require bridge for network access during boot, in which case 43110a2fa9SLexi Winter you should install the new kernel and the new /sbin/ifconfig prior 44110a2fa9SLexi Winter to rebooting. 45110a2fa9SLexi Winter 46ba487345SBojan Novković20250820: 47dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter The WITHOUT_GSSAPI src.conf knob has been removed. This was already 48dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter a no-op for MIT Kerberos, so this only affects builds which set 49dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter WITHOUT_MITKRB5=1, in which case you now always get libgssapi. 50dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter 51dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter Also, Heimdal's compile_et and libcom_err are now controlled by 52dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter WITHOUT_KERBEROS, not WITHOUT_KERBEROS_SUPPORT. This matches 53dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter the behaviour of the MIT Kerberos versions. 54dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter 55dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter20250820: 56ba487345SBojan Novković Commits 08c7dd2fbe4f and a4197ea47777 have changed the ABI between 57ba487345SBojan Novković libvmmapi and the vmm device. If using a custom kernel configuration, 58ba487345SBojan Novković please ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD14 option is included so older 59ba487345SBojan Novković versions of libvmmapi continue working as expected. 60ba487345SBojan Novković 61dc5f8c34SKyle Evans20250819: 62dc5f8c34SKyle Evans The CLEAN option has been switched back from default-on to default-off. 63dc5f8c34SKyle Evans This reverts the 20250808 change below, which had reverted the 20240729 64dc5f8c34SKyle Evans change before it. Note that some src.conf(5) options are known to break 65dc5f8c34SKyle Evans ABI or compatibility in ways that may require a clean build initially 66dc5f8c34SKyle Evans when switched. 67dc5f8c34SKyle Evans 6814b4a3f3SLexi Winter20250816: 6914b4a3f3SLexi Winter Sendmail's libmilter has been moved to its own package. If you want 7014b4a3f3SLexi Winter to compile applications that use libmilter, you should install the 7114b4a3f3SLexi Winter FreeBSD-libmilter* packages. 7214b4a3f3SLexi Winter 7314b4a3f3SLexi Winter If you only have FreeBSD-sendmail installed for applications that 7414b4a3f3SLexi Winter require libmilter, you can now remove it. 7514b4a3f3SLexi Winter 76837b13afSLexi Winter20250815: 7769af14a5SWarner Losh jemalloc 5.3.0 has been committed to the tree. 7869af14a5SWarner Losh 7969af14a5SWarner Losh20250815: 80837b13afSLexi Winter The removal of Secure RPC DES authentication notced in 20250810 81837b13afSLexi Winter has been reverted. (However, it is still non-functional.) 82837b13afSLexi Winter 83f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa20250813: 84db575840SRick Macklem Commit cce64f2e6851 changed the internal KAPI between the NFS 85db575840SRick Macklem modules. As such, all of them need to be rebuilt from sources. 86db575840SRick Macklem __FreeBSD_version has been bumped to 1500060 already today, 87db575840SRick Macklem so I will not bump it again for this. 88db575840SRick Macklem 89db575840SRick Macklem20250813: 90f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa The gpiobus_attach_bus() function has been removed. Drivers should now 91f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa use the gpiobus_add_bus() function instead. The difference being that 92f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa gpiobus_add_bus() doesn't call bus_attach_children(), calling it will 93f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa be the responsibility of the caller now. 94f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa 95084a3e1eSLexi Winter20250810: 96084a3e1eSLexi Winter Support for Secure RPC DES authentication has been removed. 97084a3e1eSLexi Winter The keyserv(8) daemon was already removed, but support for it in libc 98084a3e1eSLexi Winter has also been removed, so if you somehow still had keyserv installed, 99084a3e1eSLexi Winter it will now stop working. There is no workaround for this. Removing 100084a3e1eSLexi Winter DES is considered a feature. 101084a3e1eSLexi Winter 1026dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav20250808: 1036dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav The CLEAN option has been switched back from default-off to 1046dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav default-on. This reverts the 20240729 change below. 1056dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav 1067ed6b6b9SLexi Winter20250807: 1077ed6b6b9SLexi Winter routed(8) and route6d(8) have moved to the FreeBSD-rip package. 1087ed6b6b9SLexi Winter If you use either of these, you should install the new package. 1097ed6b6b9SLexi Winter 1103a2d4a10SRonald Klop20250806: 1113a2d4a10SRonald Klop if_epair(4) now uses ether_gen_addr(9) to generate a stable MAC 1123a2d4a10SRonald Klop address. 1133a2d4a10SRonald Klop To keep using the random address, set the loader tunable 1143a2d4a10SRonald Klop net.link.epair.ether_gen_addr=0. 1153a2d4a10SRonald Klop 11637056594SLexi Winter20250804: 11737056594SLexi Winter bsdconfig (including sysrc(8)) has moved to the new bsdconfig 11837056594SLexi Winter package. If you use pkgbase and wish to use bsdconfig, you should 11937056594SLexi Winter install FreeBSD-bsdconfig. 12037056594SLexi Winter 12174072e9fSEd Maste20250730: 12274072e9fSEd Maste The usbhid(4) USB HID driver is now enabled by default, and will be 12374072e9fSEd Maste used in preference to other USB HID drivers like ukbd(4), ums(4), and 12474072e9fSEd Maste uhid(4). Work on a FIDO/U2F driver and moused(8) is in progress. 12574072e9fSEd Maste The default is being switched now so that we can find and fix any 12674072e9fSEd Maste additional issues prior to FreeBSD 15.0. 12774072e9fSEd Maste 12874072e9fSEd Maste To revert to the previous USB HID driver behavior, set the loader 129d0144563SEd Maste tunable hw.usb.usbhid.enable=0. 13074072e9fSEd Maste 1319b3055d0SKevin Bowling20250727: 13214f57afbSLexi Winter bmake (i.e., /usr/bin/make and /usr/share/mk) has moved to a new 13314f57afbSLexi Winter package, FreeBSD-bmake. If you use pkgbase and you need make, you 13414f57afbSLexi Winter should install this package. 13514f57afbSLexi Winter 1361b7f9c58SMark Johnston20250726: 1371b7f9c58SMark Johnston amd64 kernel configurations must contain "options SMP". 1381b7f9c58SMark Johnston 139c6da58bcSLexi Winter20250725: 140c6da58bcSLexi Winter gssd(8) has been moved to a new package, FreeBSD-gssd. If you use 141c6da58bcSLexi Winter pkgbase and you need gssd, you should install this package. 142c6da58bcSLexi Winter 143962876ccSLexi Winter20250724: 144962876ccSLexi Winter The Kerberos packages which are built when WITH_MITKRB5 is enabled 145962876ccSLexi Winter have been renamed from FreeBSD-krb5* to FreeBSD-kerberos*. This 146962876ccSLexi Winter affects pkgbase users who manually enabled WITH_MITKRB5, *or* use 147962876ccSLexi Winter the default value of WITH_MITKRB5 and updated past c7da9fb90b0b 148962876ccSLexi Winter (20250721) which made WITH_MITKRB5 the default. 149962876ccSLexi Winter 150962876ccSLexi Winter In either case, if you have FreeBSD-krb5* packages installed, you 151962876ccSLexi Winter should remove them and (re)install the equivalent FreeBSD-kerberos* 152962876ccSLexi Winter packages instead. 153962876ccSLexi Winter 154c7da9fb9SCy Schubert20250721: 155c7da9fb9SCy Schubert WITH_MITKRB5 is now enabled by default. MIT KRB5 has replaced 156c7da9fb9SCy Schubert Heimdal in base. Ports that use USES=gssapi must be rebuilt. 157c7da9fb9SCy Schubert A clean buildworld is required. 158c7da9fb9SCy Schubert 159f690a2daSRick Macklem20250719: 160f690a2daSRick Macklem Commits 392a82b225 and c00baac0ab both changed the 161f690a2daSRick Macklem internal API between the NFS modules. As such, all 162f690a2daSRick Macklem these modules need to be rebuilt from sources. 163f690a2daSRick Macklem __FreeBSD_version was bumped to 1500053 for this. 164f690a2daSRick Macklem 1653fde3907SKyle Evans20250710: 1663fde3907SKyle Evans The shar(1) utility has been removed from base. The 1673fde3907SKyle Evans sysutils/freebsd-shar port was created to maintain this version of 1683fde3907SKyle Evans shar(1) past its removal from base. 1693fde3907SKyle Evans 170842da154SBjoern A. Zeeb20250704: 171842da154SBjoern A. Zeeb LinuxKPI device.h and acpi changes effecting drivers and drm-kmod. 172842da154SBjoern A.

To 18729d0bcfdSCy Schubert and install MIT KRB5, add WITH_MITKRB5=yes to /etc/src.conf. This 18829d0bcfdSCy Schubert will build and install MIT KRB5 1.21.3. And it will remove Heimdal 18929d0bcfdSCy Schubert 1.5.2 when delete-old and delete-old-libs are run. To revert back 19029d0bcfdSCy Schubert simply buildworld/installworld again with delete-old-libs and 19129d0bcfdSCy Schubert delete-old. 19229d0bcfdSCy Schubert 19329d0bcfdSCy Schubert At the moment we only know of a couple of ports that might be 19429d0bcfdSCy Schubert affected. Adjusting libmap.conf does not circumvent runtime issues. 19529d0bcfdSCy Schubert The few affected ports must be rebuilt. A successful exp-run will be 19629d0bcfdSCy Schubert run before MIT KRB5 becomes default. 19729d0bcfdSCy Schubert 19829d0bcfdSCy Schubert Those using the KDC in FreeBSD base may wish to wait. The Heimdal 19929d0bcfdSCy Schubert HDB is incompatible with the MIT KRB5 KDC. The migration procedure 20029d0bcfdSCy Schubert is a little involved. 20129d0bcfdSCy Schubert 202a02180cfSBjoern A. Zeeb20250603: 203a02180cfSBjoern A. Zeeb LinuxKPI dma-mapping.h were pulled into the tree from drm-kmod. 204a02180cfSBjoern A.

It now treats AH headers on IPv4 just 208311ad5bcSKristof Provost like AH headers on IPv6 and skips over them, allowing filtering on the inner 209311ad5bcSKristof Provost protocol. 210311ad5bcSKristof Provost 211311ad5bcSKristof Provost20250527: 212311ad5bcSKristof Provost pf now blocks IPv6 packets with a hop-by-hop or destination options header by 213311ad5bcSKristof Provost default. Such packets can be passed by adding "allow-opts" to the rule. IPv6 214311ad5bcSKristof Provost options are now handled just like their IPv4 counterparts. 215311ad5bcSKristof Provost 216311ad5bcSKristof Provost20250527: 217f947f58cSLexi Winter The CAM target layer userland, i.e. ctld(8), ctladm(8) and ctlstat(8), 218f947f58cSLexi Winter has moved to the new FreeBSD-ctl package. If you use pkgbase and you 219f947f58cSLexi Winter need the CAM Target Layer, you should install the new package. 220f947f58cSLexi Winter 221f947f58cSLexi Winter Development-related tools (e.g. ar and nm) have moved to the new 222f947f58cSLexi Winter "FreeBSD-toolchain" package, which subsumes and obsoletes the 223f947f58cSLexi Winter existing "FreeBSD-elftoolchain" package. If you use pkgbase and 224f947f58cSLexi Winter need to compile software, you should install the new package and 225f947f58cSLexi Winter ensure the old FreeBSD-elftoolchain* packages are completely removed. 22676a61252SLexi Winter 227c485a58fSZhenlei Huang20250521: 228c485a58fSZhenlei Huang Commit e64fe5ad3a23 removed in6_maxmtu and its setter in6_setmaxmtu(). 229c485a58fSZhenlei Huang in6_maxmtu is used to store the max IPv6 MTU of all interfaces, 230c485a58fSZhenlei Huang however it does not have any in-tree consumers since the introduction 231c485a58fSZhenlei Huang from the KAME project. The removal should have little impact, and the 232c485a58fSZhenlei Huang max IPv6 MTU can be easily retrieved by iterating over all the attached 233c485a58fSZhenlei Huang interface if 3rd party modules need it. 234c485a58fSZhenlei Huang 23596af6ac7SRick Macklem20250515: 23696af6ac7SRick Macklem Commit 772258c89f28 changed the internal API between the nfscommon 23796af6ac7SRick Macklem and nfscl modules.

Previously newreno 7219ad859daSGordon Tetlow was automatically built in through direct reference. As of 722b8d60729SRandall Stewart this commit you are required to declare at least one congestion 7239ad859daSGordon Tetlow control module (e.g. 'options CC_NEWRENO') and to also declare a 724b8d60729SRandall Stewart default using the CC_DEFAULT option (e.g. options CC_DEFAULT="newreno\"). 725bde57090SGordon Bergling The GENERIC configuration includes CC_NEWRENO and defines newreno 726b8d60729SRandall Stewart as the default. If no congestion control option is built into the 727b8d60729SRandall Stewart kernel and you are including networking, the kernel compile will 728b8d60729SRandall Stewart fail.

In the case of 91317101a25SAlexander Leidinger wi and cmx, the entire drivers were removed because they were only 91417101a25SAlexander Leidinger PC Card devices. FreeBSD_version 1300134 should be used for this 91517101a25SAlexander Leidinger since it was bumped so recently. 91617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 91717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20210107: 91817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Transport-independent parts of HID support have been split off the USB 91917101a25SAlexander Leidinger code in to separate subsystem. Kernel configs which include one of 92017101a25SAlexander Leidinger ums, ukbd, uhid, atp, wsp, wmt, uaudio, ugold or ucycom drivers should 92117101a25SAlexander Leidinger be updated with adding of "device hid" line. 92217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 92317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20210105: 92417101a25SAlexander Leidinger ncurses installation has been modified to only keep the widechar 92517101a25SAlexander Leidinger enabled version. Incremental build is broken for that change, so it 92617101a25SAlexander Leidinger requires a clean build. 92717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 92817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201223: 92917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The FreeBSD project has migrated from Subversion to Git.

The database is big enough 93717101a25SAlexander Leidinger that it will cause issues in mergemaster in Releases previous to 93817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 12.2 and 11.3, or in very old current systems from before r358154. 93917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 94017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201215: 94117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Obsolete in-tree GDB 6.1.1 has been removed.

It can now be called as "ping -6". 94617101a25SAlexander Leidinger See ping(8) for details. 94717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 94817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201108: 94917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Default value of net.add_addr_allfibs has been changed to 0. 95017101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you have multi-fib configuration and rely on existence of all 95117101a25SAlexander Leidinger interface routes in every fib, you need to set the above sysctl to 1. 95217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 95317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201030: 95417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The internal pre-processor in the calendar(1) program has been 95517101a25SAlexander Leidinger extended to support more C pre-processor commands (e.g. #ifdef, #else, 95617101a25SAlexander Leidinger and #undef) and to detect unbalanced conditional statements. 95717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Error messages have been extended to include the filename and line 95817101a25SAlexander Leidinger number if processing stops to help fixing malformed data files. 95917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 96017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201026: 96117101a25SAlexander Leidinger All the data files for the calendar(1) program, except calendar.freebsd, 96217101a25SAlexander Leidinger have been moved to the deskutils/calendar-data port, much like the 96317101a25SAlexander Leidinger jewish calendar entries were moved to deskutils/hebcal years ago. After 96417101a25SAlexander Leidinger make delete-old-files, you need to install it to retain full 96517101a25SAlexander Leidinger functionality. calendar(1) will issue a reminder for files it can't 96617101a25SAlexander Leidinger find. 96717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 96817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200923: 96917101a25SAlexander Leidinger LINT files are no longer generated. We now include the relevant NOTES 97017101a25SAlexander Leidinger files. Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases. 97117101a25SAlexander Leidinger find sys -name LINT\* -delete 97217101a25SAlexander Leidinger is suggested across this commit to remove the generated LINT files. 97317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 97417101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you have tried to update with generated files there, the svn 97517101a25SAlexander Leidinger command you want to un-auger the tree is 97617101a25SAlexander Leidinger cd sys/amd64/conf 97717101a25SAlexander Leidinger svn revert -R . 97817101a25SAlexander Leidinger and then do the above find from the top level. Substitute 'amd64' 97917101a25SAlexander Leidinger above with where the error message indicates a conflict. 98017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 98117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200824: 98217101a25SAlexander Leidinger OpenZFS support has been integrated. Do not upgrade root pools until 98317101a25SAlexander Leidinger the loader is updated to support zstd. Furthermore, we caution against 98417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'zpool upgrade' for the next few weeks. The change should be transparent 98517101a25SAlexander Leidinger unless you want to use new features. 98617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 98717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Not all "NO_CLEAN" build scenarios work across these changes. Many 98817101a25SAlexander Leidinger scenarios have been tested and fixed, but rebuilding kernels without 98917101a25SAlexander Leidinger rebuilding world may fail. 99017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 99117101a25SAlexander Leidinger The ZFS cache file has moved from /boot to /etc to match the OpenZFS 99217101a25SAlexander Leidinger upstream default. A fallback to /boot has been added for mountroot. 99317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 99417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Pool auto import behavior at boot has been moved from the kernel module 99517101a25SAlexander Leidinger to an explicit "zpool import -a" in one of the rc scripts enabled by 99617101a25SAlexander Leidinger zfs_enable=YES. This means your non-root zpools won't auto import until 99717101a25SAlexander Leidinger you upgrade your /etc/rc.d files. 99817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 99917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200824: 100017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The resume code now notifies devd with the 'kernel' system 100117101a25SAlexander Leidinger rather than the old 'kern' subsystem to be consistent with 100217101a25SAlexander Leidinger other use. The old notification will be created as well, but 100317101a25SAlexander Leidinger will be removed prior to FreeBSD 14.0. 100417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 100517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200821: 100617101a25SAlexander Leidinger r362275 changed the internal API between the kernel RPC and the 100717101a25SAlexander Leidinger NFS modules. As such, all the modules must be recompiled from 100817101a25SAlexander Leidinger sources. 100917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 101017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200817: 101117101a25SAlexander Leidinger r364330 modified the internal API used between the NFS modules. 101217101a25SAlexander Leidinger As such, all the NFS modules must be re-compiled from sources. 101317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 101417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200816: 101517101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 101617101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 11.0.0. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 101717101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 101817101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 101917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 102017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200810: 102117101a25SAlexander Leidinger r364092 modified the internal ABI used between the kernel NFS 102217101a25SAlexander Leidinger modules. As such, all of these modules need to be rebuilt 102317101a25SAlexander Leidinger from sources, so a version bump was done. 102417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 102517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200807: 102617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Makefile.inc has been updated to work around the issue documented in 102717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 20200729. It was a case where the optimization of using symbolic links 102817101a25SAlexander Leidinger to point to binaries created a situation where we'd run new binaries 102917101a25SAlexander Leidinger with old libraries starting midway through the installworld process. 103017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 103117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200729: 103217101a25SAlexander Leidinger r363679 has redefined some undefined behavior in regcomp(3); notably, 103317101a25SAlexander Leidinger extraneous escapes of most ordinary characters will no longer be 103417101a25SAlexander Leidinger accepted. An exp-run has identified all of the problems with this in 103517101a25SAlexander Leidinger ports, but other non-ports software may need extra escapes removed to 103617101a25SAlexander Leidinger continue to function. 103717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 103817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Because of this change, installworld may encounter the following error 103917101a25SAlexander Leidinger from rtld: Undefined symbol "regcomp@FBSD_1.6" -- It is imperative that 104017101a25SAlexander Leidinger you do not halt installworld. Instead, let it run to completion (whether 104117101a25SAlexander Leidinger successful or not) and run installworld once more. 104217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 104317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200627: 104417101a25SAlexander Leidinger A new implementation of bc and dc has been imported in r362681. This 104517101a25SAlexander Leidinger implementation corrects non-conformant behavior of the previous bc 104617101a25SAlexander Leidinger and adds GNU bc compatible options. It offers a number of extensions, 104717101a25SAlexander Leidinger is much faster on large values, and has support for message catalogs 104817101a25SAlexander Leidinger (a number of languages are already supported, contributions of further 104917101a25SAlexander Leidinger languages welcome). The option WITHOUT_GH_BC can be used to build the 105017101a25SAlexander Leidinger world with the previous versions of bc and dc. 105117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 105217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200625: 105317101a25SAlexander Leidinger r362639 changed the internal API used between the NFS kernel modules. 105417101a25SAlexander Leidinger As such, they all need to be rebuilt from sources. 105517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 105617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200613: 105717101a25SAlexander Leidinger r362158 changed the arguments for VFS_CHECKEXP(). As such, any 105817101a25SAlexander Leidinger out of tree file systems need to be modified and rebuilt. 105917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Also, any file systems that are modules must be rebuilt. 106017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 106117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200604: 106217101a25SAlexander Leidinger read(2) of a directory fd is now rejected by default. root may 106317101a25SAlexander Leidinger re-enable it for system root only on non-ZFS filesystems with the 106417101a25SAlexander Leidinger security.bsd.allow_read_dir sysctl(8) MIB if 106517101a25SAlexander Leidinger security.bsd.suser_enabled=1. 106617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 106717101a25SAlexander Leidinger It may be advised to setup aliases for grep to default to `-d skip` if 106817101a25SAlexander Leidinger commonly non-recursively grepping a list that includes directories and 106917101a25SAlexander Leidinger the potential for the resulting stderr output is not tolerable. Example 107017101a25SAlexander Leidinger aliases are now installed, commented out, in /root/.cshrc and 107117101a25SAlexander Leidinger /root/.shrc. 107217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 107317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200523: 107417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 107517101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 10.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 107617101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 107717101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 107817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 107917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200512: 108017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Support for obsolete compilers has been removed from the build system. 108117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang 6 and GCC 6.4 are the minimum supported versions. 108217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 108317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200424: 108417101a25SAlexander Leidinger closefrom(2) has been moved under COMPAT12, and replaced in libc with a 108517101a25SAlexander Leidinger stub that calls close_range(2). If using a custom kernel configuration, 108617101a25SAlexander Leidinger you may want to ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD12 option is included, as 108717101a25SAlexander Leidinger a slightly older -CURRENT userland and older FreeBSD userlands may not 108817101a25SAlexander Leidinger be functional without closefrom(2). 108917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 109017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200414: 109117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Upstream DTS from Linux 5.6 was merged and they now have the SID 109217101a25SAlexander Leidinger and THS (Secure ID controller and THermal Sensor) node present. 109317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The DTB overlays have now been removed from the tree for the H3/H5 and 109417101a25SAlexander Leidinger A64 SoCs and the aw_sid and aw_thermal driver have been updated to 109517101a25SAlexander Leidinger deal with upstream DTS. If you are using those overlays you need to 109617101a25SAlexander Leidinger remove them from loader.conf and update the DTBs on the FAT partition. 109717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 109817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200310: 109917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 110017101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 10.0.0. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 110117101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 110217101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 110317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 110417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200309: 110517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The amd(8) automount daemon has been removed from the source tree. 110617101a25SAlexander Leidinger As of FreeBSD 10.1 autofs(5) is the preferred tool for automounting. 110717101a25SAlexander Leidinger amd is still available in the sysutils/am-utils port. 110817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 110917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200301: 111017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Removed brooktree driver (bktr.4) from the tree. 111117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 111217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200229: 111317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The WITH_GPL_DTC option has been removed. The BSD-licenced device tree 111417101a25SAlexander Leidinger compiler in usr.bin/dtc is used on all architectures which use dtc, and 111517101a25SAlexander Leidinger the GPL dtc is available (if needed) from the sysutils/dtc port. 111617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 111717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200229: 111817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The WITHOUT_LLVM_LIBUNWIND option has been removed. LLVM's libunwind 111917101a25SAlexander Leidinger is used by all supported CPU architectures. 112017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 112117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200229: 112217101a25SAlexander Leidinger GCC 4.2.1 has been removed from the tree. The WITH_GCC, 112317101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITH_GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and WITH_GNUCXX options are no longer available. 112417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Users who wish to build FreeBSD with GCC must use the external toolchain 112517101a25SAlexander Leidinger ports or packages. 112617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 112717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200220: 112817101a25SAlexander Leidinger ncurses has been updated to a newer version (6.2-20200215). Given the ABI 112917101a25SAlexander Leidinger has changed, users will have to rebuild all the ports that are linked to 113017101a25SAlexander Leidinger ncurses. 113117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 113217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200217: 113317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The size of struct vnet and the magic cookie have changed. 113417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Users need to recompile libkvm and all modules using VIMAGE 113517101a25SAlexander Leidinger together with their new kernel. 113617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 113717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200212: 113817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Defining the long deprecated NO_CTF, NO_DEBUG_FILES, NO_INSTALLLIB, 113917101a25SAlexander Leidinger NO_MAN, NO_PROFILE, and NO_WARNS variables is now an error. Update 114017101a25SAlexander Leidinger your Makefiles and scripts to define MK_<var>=no instead as required. 114117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 114217101a25SAlexander Leidinger One exception to this is that program or library Makefiles should 114317101a25SAlexander Leidinger define MAN to empty rather than setting MK_MAN=no. 114417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 114517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200108: 114617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler and LLD the default 114717101a25SAlexander Leidinger linker for riscv64. 114817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 114917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200107: 115017101a25SAlexander Leidinger make universe no longer uses GCC 4.2.1 on any architectures. 115117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Architectures not supported by in-tree Clang/LLVM require an 115217101a25SAlexander Leidinger external toolchain package. 115317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 115417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200104: 115517101a25SAlexander Leidinger GCC 4.2.1 is now not built by default, as part of the GCC 4.2.1 115617101a25SAlexander Leidinger retirement plan. Specifically, the GCC, GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and GNUCXX 115717101a25SAlexander Leidinger options default to off for all supported CPU architectures. As a 115817101a25SAlexander Leidinger short-term transition aid they may be enabled via WITH_* options. 115917101a25SAlexander Leidinger GCC 4.2.1 is expected to be removed from the tree on 2020-03-31. 116017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 116117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200102: 116217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Support for armv5 has been disconnected and is being removed. The 116317101a25SAlexander Leidinger machine combination MACHINE=arm MACHINE_ARCH=arm is no longer valid. 116417101a25SAlexander Leidinger You must now use a MACHINE_ARCH of armv6 or armv7. The default 116517101a25SAlexander Leidinger MACHINE_ARCH for MACHINE=arm is now armv7. 116617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 116717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191226: 116817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler for all powerpc architectures. 116917101a25SAlexander Leidinger LLD is now the default linker for powerpc64. The change for powerpc64 117017101a25SAlexander Leidinger also includes a change to the ELFv2 ABI, incompatible with the existing 117117101a25SAlexander Leidinger ABI. 117217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 117317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191226: 117417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Kernel-loadable random(4) modules are no longer unloadable. 117517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 117617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191222: 117717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 117817101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 9.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 117917101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 118017101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 118117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 118217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191212: 118317101a25SAlexander Leidinger r355677 has modified the internal interface used between the 118417101a25SAlexander Leidinger NFS modules in the kernel. As such, they must all be upgraded 118517101a25SAlexander Leidinger simultaneously. I will do a version bump for this. 118617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 118717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191205: 118817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The root certificates of the Mozilla CA Certificate Store have been 118917101a25SAlexander Leidinger imported into the base system and can be managed with the certctl(8) 119017101a25SAlexander Leidinger utility. If you have installed the security/ca_root_nss port or package 119117101a25SAlexander Leidinger with the ETCSYMLINK option (the default), be advised that there may be 119217101a25SAlexander Leidinger differences between those included in the port and those included in 119317101a25SAlexander Leidinger base due to differences in nss branch used as well as general update 119417101a25SAlexander Leidinger frequency. Note also that certctl(8) cannot manage certs in the 119517101a25SAlexander Leidinger format used by the security/ca_root_nss port. 119617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 119717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191120: 119817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The amd(8) automount daemon has been disabled by default, and will be 119917101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed in the future. As of FreeBSD 10.1 the autofs(5) is available 120017101a25SAlexander Leidinger for automounting. 120117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 120217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191107: 120317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The nctgpio and wbwd drivers have been moved to the superio bus. 120417101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you have one of these drivers in a kernel configuration, then 120517101a25SAlexander Leidinger you should add device superio to it. If you use one of these drivers 120617101a25SAlexander Leidinger as a module and you compile a custom set of modules, then you should 120717101a25SAlexander Leidinger add superio to the set. 120817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 120917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191021: 121017101a25SAlexander Leidinger KPIs for network drivers to access interface addresses have changed. 121117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Users need to recompile NIC driver modules together with kernel. 121217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 121317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191021: 121417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The net.link.tap.user_open sysctl no longer prevents user opening of 121517101a25SAlexander Leidinger already created /dev/tapNN devices. Access is still controlled by 121617101a25SAlexander Leidinger node permissions, just like tun devices. The net.link.tap.user_open 121717101a25SAlexander Leidinger sysctl is now used only to allow users to perform devfs cloning of 121817101a25SAlexander Leidinger tap devices, and the subsequent open may not succeed if the user is not 121917101a25SAlexander Leidinger in the appropriate group. This sysctl may be deprecated/removed 122017101a25SAlexander Leidinger completely in the future. 122117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 122217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191009: 122317101a25SAlexander Leidinger mips, powerpc, and sparc64 are no longer built as part of 122417101a25SAlexander Leidinger universe / tinderbox unless MAKE_OBSOLETE_GCC is defined. If 122517101a25SAlexander Leidinger not defined, mips, powerpc, and sparc64 builds will look for 122617101a25SAlexander Leidinger the xtoolchain binaries and if installed use them for universe 122717101a25SAlexander Leidinger builds. As llvm 9.0 becomes vetted for these architectures, they 122817101a25SAlexander Leidinger will be removed from the list. 122917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 123017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191009: 123117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 123217101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 9.0.0. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 123317101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 123417101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 123517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 123617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191003: 123717101a25SAlexander Leidinger The hpt27xx, hptmv, hptnr, and hptrr drivers have been removed from 123817101a25SAlexander Leidinger GENERIC. They are available as modules and can be loaded by adding 123917101a25SAlexander Leidinger to /boot/loader.conf hpt27xx_load="YES", hptmv_load="YES", 124017101a25SAlexander Leidinger hptnr_load="YES", or hptrr_load="YES", respectively. 124117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 124217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190913: 124317101a25SAlexander Leidinger ntpd no longer by default locks its pages in memory, allowing them 124417101a25SAlexander Leidinger to be paged out by the kernel. Use rlimit memlock to restore 124517101a25SAlexander Leidinger historic BSD behaviour. For example, add "rlimit memlock 32" 124617101a25SAlexander Leidinger to ntp.conf to lock up to 32 MB of ntpd address space in memory. 124717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 124817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190823: 124917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Several of ping6's options have been renamed for better consistency 125017101a25SAlexander Leidinger with ping. If you use any of -ARWXaghmrtwx, you must update your 125117101a25SAlexander Leidinger scripts. See ping6(8) for details. 125217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 125317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190727: 125417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The vfs.fusefs.sync_unmount and vfs.fusefs.init_backgrounded sysctls 125517101a25SAlexander Leidinger and the "-o sync_unmount" and "-o init_backgrounded" mount options have 125617101a25SAlexander Leidinger been removed from mount_fusefs(8). You can safely remove them from 125717101a25SAlexander Leidinger your scripts, because they had no effect. 125817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 125917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The vfs.fusefs.fix_broken_io, vfs.fusefs.sync_resize, 126017101a25SAlexander Leidinger vfs.fusefs.refresh_size, vfs.fusefs.mmap_enable, 126117101a25SAlexander Leidinger vfs.fusefs.reclaim_revoked, and vfs.fusefs.data_cache_invalidate 126217101a25SAlexander Leidinger sysctls have been removed. If you felt the need to set any of them to 126317101a25SAlexander Leidinger a non-default value, please tell asomers@FreeBSD.org why. 126417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 126517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190713: 126617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Default permissions on the /var/account/acct file (and copies of it 126717101a25SAlexander Leidinger rotated by periodic daily scripts) are changed from 0644 to 0640 126817101a25SAlexander Leidinger because the file contains sensitive information that should not be 126917101a25SAlexander Leidinger world-readable. If the /var/account directory must be created by 127017101a25SAlexander Leidinger rc.d/accounting, the mode used is now 0750. Admins who use the 127117101a25SAlexander Leidinger accounting feature are encouraged to change the mode of an existing 127217101a25SAlexander Leidinger /var/account directory to 0750 or 0700. 127317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 127417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190620: 127517101a25SAlexander Leidinger Entropy collection and the /dev/random device are no longer optional 127617101a25SAlexander Leidinger components. The "device random" option has been removed. 127717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Implementations of distilling algorithms can still be made loadable 127817101a25SAlexander Leidinger with "options RANDOM_LOADABLE" (e.g., random_fortuna.ko). 127917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 128017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190612: 128117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 128217101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 8.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 128317101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 128417101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 128517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 128617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190608: 128717101a25SAlexander Leidinger A fix was applied to i386 kernel modules to avoid panics with 128817101a25SAlexander Leidinger dpcpu or vnet. Users need to recompile i386 kernel modules 128917101a25SAlexander Leidinger having pcpu or vnet sections or they will refuse to load. 129017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 129117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190513: 129217101a25SAlexander Leidinger User-wired pages now have their own counter, 129317101a25SAlexander Leidinger vm.stats.vm.v_user_wire_count. The vm.max_wired sysctl was renamed 129417101a25SAlexander Leidinger to vm.max_user_wired and changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned 129517101a25SAlexander Leidinger long. bhyve VMs wired with the -S are now subject to the user 129617101a25SAlexander Leidinger wiring limit; the vm.max_user_wired sysctl may need to be tuned to 129717101a25SAlexander Leidinger avoid running into the limit. 129817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 129917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190507: 130017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The IPSEC option has been removed from GENERIC. Users requiring 130117101a25SAlexander Leidinger ipsec(4) must now load the ipsec(4) kernel module. 130217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 130317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190507: 130417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The tap(4) driver has been folded into tun(4), and the module has been 130517101a25SAlexander Leidinger renamed to tuntap. You should update any kld_list="if_tap" or 130617101a25SAlexander Leidinger kld_list="if_tun" entries in /etc/rc.conf, if_tap_load="YES" or 130717101a25SAlexander Leidinger if_tun_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf to load the if_tuntap 130817101a25SAlexander Leidinger module instead, and "device tap" or "device tun" entries in kernel 130917101a25SAlexander Leidinger config files to select the tuntap device instead. 131017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 131117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190418: 131217101a25SAlexander Leidinger The following knobs have been added related to tradeoffs between 131317101a25SAlexander Leidinger safe use of the random device and availability in the absence of 131417101a25SAlexander Leidinger entropy: 131517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 131617101a25SAlexander Leidinger kern.random.initial_seeding.bypass_before_seeding: tunable; set 131717101a25SAlexander Leidinger non-zero to bypass the random device prior to seeding, or zero to 131817101a25SAlexander Leidinger block random requests until the random device is initially seeded. 131917101a25SAlexander Leidinger For now, set to 1 (unsafe) by default to restore pre-r346250 boot 132017101a25SAlexander Leidinger availability properties. 132117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 132217101a25SAlexander Leidinger kern.random.initial_seeding.read_random_bypassed_before_seeding: 132317101a25SAlexander Leidinger read-only diagnostic sysctl that is set when bypass is enabled and 132417101a25SAlexander Leidinger read_random(9) is bypassed, to enable programmatic handling of this 132517101a25SAlexander Leidinger initial condition, if desired. 132617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 132717101a25SAlexander Leidinger kern.random.initial_seeding.arc4random_bypassed_before_seeding: 132817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Similar to the above, but for arc4random(9) initial seeding. 132917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 133017101a25SAlexander Leidinger kern.random.initial_seeding.disable_bypass_warnings: tunable; set 133117101a25SAlexander Leidinger non-zero to disable warnings in dmesg when the same conditions are 133217101a25SAlexander Leidinger met as for the diagnostic sysctls above. Defaults to zero, i.e., 133317101a25SAlexander Leidinger produce warnings in dmesg when the conditions are met. 133417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 133517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190416: 133617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The loadable random module KPI has changed; the random_infra_init() 133717101a25SAlexander Leidinger routine now requires a 3rd function pointer for a bool (*)(void) 133817101a25SAlexander Leidinger method that returns true if the random device is seeded (and 133917101a25SAlexander Leidinger therefore unblocked). 134017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 134117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190404: 134217101a25SAlexander Leidinger r345895 reverts r320698. This implies that an nfsuserd(8) daemon 134317101a25SAlexander Leidinger built from head sources between r320757 (July 6, 2017) and 134417101a25SAlexander Leidinger r338192 (Aug. 22, 2018) will not work unless the "-use-udpsock" 134517101a25SAlexander Leidinger is added to the command line. 134617101a25SAlexander Leidinger nfsuserd daemons built from head sources that are post-r338192 are 134717101a25SAlexander Leidinger not affected and should continue to work. 134817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 134917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190320: 135017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The fuse(4) module has been renamed to fusefs(4) for consistency with 135117101a25SAlexander Leidinger other filesystems. You should update any kld_load="fuse" entries in 135217101a25SAlexander Leidinger /etc/rc.conf, fuse_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf, and 135317101a25SAlexander Leidinger "options FUSE" entries in kernel config files. 135417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 135517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190304: 135617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 135717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 8.0.0. Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about 135817101a25SAlexander Leidinger prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 135917101a25SAlexander Leidinger or higher. 136017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 136117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190226: 136217101a25SAlexander Leidinger geom_uzip(4) depends on the new module xz. If geom_uzip is statically 136317101a25SAlexander Leidinger compiled into your custom kernel, add 'device xz' statement to the 136417101a25SAlexander Leidinger kernel config. 136517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 136617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190219: 136717101a25SAlexander Leidinger drm and drm2 have been removed from the tree. Please see 136817101a25SAlexander Leidinger https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics for the latest information on 136917101a25SAlexander Leidinger migrating to the drm ports. 137017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 137117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190131: 137217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Iflib is no longer unconditionally compiled into the kernel. Drivers 137317101a25SAlexander Leidinger using iflib and statically compiled into the kernel, now require 137417101a25SAlexander Leidinger the 'device iflib' config option. For the same drivers loaded as 137517101a25SAlexander Leidinger modules on kernels not having 'device iflib', the iflib.ko module 137617101a25SAlexander Leidinger is loaded automatically. 137717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 137817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190125: 137917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The IEEE80211_AMPDU_AGE and AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 kernel configuration 138017101a25SAlexander Leidinger options no longer exist since r343219 and r343427 respectively; 138117101a25SAlexander Leidinger nothing uses them, so they should be just removed from custom 138217101a25SAlexander Leidinger kernel config files. 138317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 138417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181230: 138517101a25SAlexander Leidinger r342635 changes the way efibootmgr(8) works by requiring users to add 138617101a25SAlexander Leidinger the -b (bootnum) parameter for commands where the bootnum was previously 138717101a25SAlexander Leidinger specified with each option. For example 'efibootmgr -B 0001' is now 138817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'efibootmgr -B -b 0001'. 138917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 139017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181220: 139117101a25SAlexander Leidinger r342286 modifies the NFSv4 server so that it obeys vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport 139217101a25SAlexander Leidinger in the same as it is applied to NFSv2 and 3. This implies that NFSv4 139317101a25SAlexander Leidinger servers that have vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport set will only allow mounts 139417101a25SAlexander Leidinger from clients using a reserved port. Since both the FreeBSD and Linux 139517101a25SAlexander Leidinger NFSv4 clients use reserved ports by default, this should not affect 139617101a25SAlexander Leidinger most NFSv4 mounts. 139717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 139817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181219: 139917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The XLP config has been removed. We can't support 64-bit atomics in this 140017101a25SAlexander Leidinger kernel because it is running in 32-bit mode. XLP users must transition 140117101a25SAlexander Leidinger to running a 64-bit kernel (XLP64 or XLPN32). 140217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 140317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The mips GXEMUL support has been removed from FreeBSD. MALTA* + qemu is 140417101a25SAlexander Leidinger the preferred emulator today and we don't need two different ones. 140517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 140617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The old sibyte / swarm / Broadcom BCM1250 support has been 140717101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed from the mips port. 140817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 140917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181211: 141017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 141117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 7.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about 141217101a25SAlexander Leidinger prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 141317101a25SAlexander Leidinger or higher. 141417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 141517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181211: 141617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Remove the timed and netdate programs from the base tree. Setting 141717101a25SAlexander Leidinger the time with these daemons has been obsolete for over a decade. 141817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 141917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181126: 142017101a25SAlexander Leidinger On amd64, arm64 and armv7 (architectures that install LLVM's ld.lld 142117101a25SAlexander Leidinger linker as /usr/bin/ld) GNU ld is no longer installed as ld.bfd, as 142217101a25SAlexander Leidinger it produces broken binaries when ifuncs are in use. Users needing 142317101a25SAlexander Leidinger GNU ld should install the binutils port or package. 142417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 142517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181123: 142617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The BSD crtbegin and crtend code has been enabled by default. It has 142717101a25SAlexander Leidinger had extensive testing on amd64, arm64, and i386. It can be disabled 142817101a25SAlexander Leidinger by building a world with -DWITHOUT_BSD_CRTBEGIN. 142917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 143017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181115: 143117101a25SAlexander Leidinger The set of CTM commands (ctm, ctm_smail, ctm_rmail, ctm_dequeue) 143217101a25SAlexander Leidinger has been converted to a port (misc/ctm) and will be removed from 143317101a25SAlexander Leidinger FreeBSD-13. It is available as a package (ctm) for all supported 143417101a25SAlexander Leidinger FreeBSD versions. 143517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 143617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181110: 143717101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default newsyslog.conf(5) file has been changed to only include 143817101a25SAlexander Leidinger files in /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ and /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ if 143917101a25SAlexander Leidinger the filenames end in '.conf' and do not begin with a '.'. 144017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 144117101a25SAlexander Leidinger You should check the configuration files in these two directories match 144217101a25SAlexander Leidinger this naming convention. You can verify which configuration files are 144317101a25SAlexander Leidinger being included using the command: 144417101a25SAlexander Leidinger $ newsyslog -Nrv 144517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 1446cb0259b6SWarner Losh20181019: 1447cb0259b6SWarner Losh Stable/12 was branched created. 1448cb0259b6SWarner Losh 144917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181015: 145017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. Now, amd64 users should 145117101a25SAlexander Leidinger just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install 145217101a25SAlexander Leidinger drm-legacy-kmod. 145317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 145417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with 145517101a25SAlexander Leidinger drm-kmod. For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need 145617101a25SAlexander Leidinger to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older 145717101a25SAlexander Leidinger than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can 145817101a25SAlexander Leidinger only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the 145917101a25SAlexander Leidinger market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you 146017101a25SAlexander Leidinger have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use 146117101a25SAlexander Leidinger that as you will get better support. 146217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 146317101a25SAlexander Leidinger Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined 146417101a25SAlexander Leidinger elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base 146517101a25SAlexander Leidinger soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package 146617101a25SAlexander Leidinger asap and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org. 146717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 146817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add 146917101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty 147017101a25SAlexander Leidinger cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver 147117101a25SAlexander Leidinger loading from X11 startup. These will become the defaults in 13-current 147217101a25SAlexander Leidinger shortly. 147317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 147417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181012: 147517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The ixlv(4) driver has been renamed to iavf(4). As a consequence, 147617101a25SAlexander Leidinger custom kernel and module loading configuration files must be updated 147717101a25SAlexander Leidinger accordingly. Moreover, interfaces previous presented as ixlvN to the 147817101a25SAlexander Leidinger system are now exposed as iavfN and network configuration files must 147917101a25SAlexander Leidinger be adjusted as necessary. 148017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 148117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181009: 148217101a25SAlexander Leidinger OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1. This update included 148317101a25SAlexander Leidinger additional various API changes throughout the base system. It is 148417101a25SAlexander Leidinger important to rebuild third-party software after upgrading. The value 148517101a25SAlexander Leidinger of __FreeBSD_version has been bumped accordingly. 148617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 148717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181006: 148817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The legacy DRM modules and drivers have now been added to the loader's 148917101a25SAlexander Leidinger module blacklist, in favor of loading them with kld_list in rc.conf(5). 149017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The module blacklist may be overridden with the loader.conf(5) 149117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'module_blacklist' variable, but loading them via rc.conf(5) is strongly 149217101a25SAlexander Leidinger encouraged. 149317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 149417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181002: 149517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The cam(4) based nda(4) driver will be used over nvd(4) by default on 149617101a25SAlexander Leidinger powerpc64. You may set 'options NVME_USE_NVD=1' in your kernel conf or 149717101a25SAlexander Leidinger loader tunable 'hw.nvme.use_nvd=1' if you wish to use the existing 149817101a25SAlexander Leidinger driver. Make sure to edit /boot/etc/kboot.conf and fstab to use the 149917101a25SAlexander Leidinger nda device name. 150017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 150117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180913: 150217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for 150317101a25SAlexander Leidinger FreeBSD 12.0. This eliminates build metadata such as the user, 150417101a25SAlexander Leidinger host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree 150517101a25SAlexander Leidinger corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system. 150617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The previous behavior can be obtained by setting the /etc/src.conf 150717101a25SAlexander Leidinger knob WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD. 150817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 150917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180826: 151017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The Yarrow CSPRNG has been removed from the kernel as it has not been 151117101a25SAlexander Leidinger supported by its designers since at least 2003. Fortuna has been the 151217101a25SAlexander Leidinger default since FreeBSD-11. 151317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 151417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180822: 151517101a25SAlexander Leidinger devctl freeze/thaw have gone into the tree, the rc scripts have been 151617101a25SAlexander Leidinger updated to use them and devmatch has been changed. You should update 151717101a25SAlexander Leidinger kernel, userland and rc scripts all at the same time. 151817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 151917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180818: 152017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua. 152117101a25SAlexander Leidinger LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default 152217101a25SAlexander Leidinger interpreter. If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set 152317101a25SAlexander Leidinger LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in 152417101a25SAlexander Leidinger src.conf for the build. This will create default hard links between 152517101a25SAlexander Leidinger loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default. 152617101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi. 152717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 152817101a25SAlexander Leidinger bhyve uses userboot.so. It remains 4th-only until some issues are solved 152917101a25SAlexander Leidinger regarding coexisting with multiple versions of FreeBSD are resolved. 153017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 153117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180815: 153217101a25SAlexander Leidinger ls(1) now respects the COLORTERM environment variable used in other 153317101a25SAlexander Leidinger systems and software to indicate that a colored terminal is both 153417101a25SAlexander Leidinger supported and desired. If ls(1) is suddenly emitting colors, they may 153517101a25SAlexander Leidinger be disabled again by either removing the unwanted COLORTERM from your 153617101a25SAlexander Leidinger environment, or using `ls --color=never`. The ls(1) specific CLICOLOR 153717101a25SAlexander Leidinger may not be observed in a future release. 153817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 153917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180808: 154017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default pager for most commands has been changed to "less". To 154117101a25SAlexander Leidinger restore the old behavior, set PAGER="more" and MANPAGER="more -s" in 154217101a25SAlexander Leidinger your environment. 154317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 154417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180731: 154517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The jedec_ts(4) driver has been removed. A superset of its functionality 154617101a25SAlexander Leidinger is available in the jedec_dimm(4) driver, and the manpage for that 154717101a25SAlexander Leidinger driver includes migration instructions. If you have "device jedec_ts" 154817101a25SAlexander Leidinger in your kernel configuration file, it must be removed. 154917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 155017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180730: 155117101a25SAlexander Leidinger amd64/GENERIC now has EFI runtime services, EFIRT, enabled by default. 155217101a25SAlexander Leidinger This should have no effect if the kernel is booted via BIOS/legacy boot. 155317101a25SAlexander Leidinger EFIRT may be disabled via a loader tunable, efi.rt.disabled, if a system 155417101a25SAlexander Leidinger has a buggy firmware that prevents a successful boot due to use of 155517101a25SAlexander Leidinger runtime services. 155617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 155717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180727: 155817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Atmel AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9, Cavium CNS 11xx and XScale 155917101a25SAlexander Leidinger support has been removed from the tree. These ports were 156017101a25SAlexander Leidinger obsolete and/or known to be broken for many years. 156117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 156217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180723: 156317101a25SAlexander Leidinger loader.efi has been augmented to participate more fully in the 156417101a25SAlexander Leidinger UEFI boot manager protocol. loader.efi will now look at the 156517101a25SAlexander Leidinger BootXXXX environment variable to determine if a specific kernel 156617101a25SAlexander Leidinger or root partition was specified. XXXX is derived from BootCurrent. 156717101a25SAlexander Leidinger efibootmgr(8) manages these standard UEFI variables. 156817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 156917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180720: 157017101a25SAlexander Leidinger zfsloader's functionality has now been folded into loader. 157117101a25SAlexander Leidinger zfsloader is no longer necessary once you've updated your 157217101a25SAlexander Leidinger boot blocks. For a transition period, we will install a 157317101a25SAlexander Leidinger hardlink for zfsloader to loader to allow a smooth transition 157417101a25SAlexander Leidinger until the boot blocks can be updated (hard link because old 157517101a25SAlexander Leidinger zfs boot blocks don't understand symlinks). 157617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 157717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180719: 157817101a25SAlexander Leidinger ARM64 now have efifb support, if you want to have serial console 157917101a25SAlexander Leidinger on your arm64 board when an screen is connected and the bootloader 158017101a25SAlexander Leidinger setup a frame buffer for us to use, just add : 158117101a25SAlexander Leidinger boot_serial=YES 158217101a25SAlexander Leidinger boot_multicons=YES 158317101a25SAlexander Leidinger in /boot/loader.conf 158417101a25SAlexander Leidinger For Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI) users, this is needed even if you don't have 158517101a25SAlexander Leidinger an screen connected as the firmware will setup a frame buffer are that 158617101a25SAlexander Leidinger u-boot will expose as an EFI frame buffer. 158717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 158817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180719: 158917101a25SAlexander Leidinger New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123). Be sure to run mergemaster 159017101a25SAlexander Leidinger or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on 159117101a25SAlexander Leidinger existing systems. Do not skip the "mergemaster -Fp" step before 159217101a25SAlexander Leidinger installworld, as described in the update procedures near the bottom 159317101a25SAlexander Leidinger of this document. Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd 159417101a25SAlexander Leidinger if the new mac_ntpd(4) policy is available, unless ntpd_flags or 159517101a25SAlexander Leidinger the ntp config file contain options that change file/dir locations. 159617101a25SAlexander Leidinger When such options (e.g., "statsdir" or "crypto") are used, ntpd can 159717101a25SAlexander Leidinger still be run as non-root by setting ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf, after 159817101a25SAlexander Leidinger taking steps to ensure that all required files/dirs are accessible 159917101a25SAlexander Leidinger by the ntpd user. 160017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 160117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180717: 160217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Big endian arm support has been removed. 160317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 160417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180711: 160517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The static environment setup in kernel configs is no longer mutually 160617101a25SAlexander Leidinger exclusive with the loader(8) environment by default. In order to 160717101a25SAlexander Leidinger restore the previous default behavior of disabling the loader(8) 160817101a25SAlexander Leidinger environment if a static environment is present, you must specify 160917101a25SAlexander Leidinger loader_env.disabled=1 in the static environment. 161017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 161117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180705: 161217101a25SAlexander Leidinger The ABI of syscalls used by management tools like sockstat and 161317101a25SAlexander Leidinger netstat has been broken to allow 32-bit binaries to work on 161417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 64-bit kernels without modification. These programs will need 161517101a25SAlexander Leidinger to match the kernel in order to function. External programs may 161617101a25SAlexander Leidinger require minor modifications to accommodate a change of type in 161717101a25SAlexander Leidinger structures from pointers to 64-bit virtual addresses. 161817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 161917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180702: 162017101a25SAlexander Leidinger On i386 and amd64 atomics are now inlined. Out of tree modules using 162117101a25SAlexander Leidinger atomics will need to be rebuilt. 162217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 162317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180701: 162417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The '%I' format in the kern.corefile sysctl limits the number of 162517101a25SAlexander Leidinger core files that a process can generate to the number stored in the 162617101a25SAlexander Leidinger debug.ncores sysctl. The '%I' format is replaced by the single digit 162717101a25SAlexander Leidinger index. Previously, if all indexes were taken the kernel would overwrite 162817101a25SAlexander Leidinger only a core file with the highest index in a filename. 162917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free 163017101a25SAlexander Leidinger index or if all slots are taken it will overwrite the oldest one. 163117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 163217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180630: 163317101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 163417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 6.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about 163517101a25SAlexander Leidinger prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 163617101a25SAlexander Leidinger or higher. 163717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 163817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180628: 163917101a25SAlexander Leidinger r335753 introduced a new quoting method. However, etc/devd/devmatch.conf 164017101a25SAlexander Leidinger needed to be changed to work with it. This change was made with r335763 164117101a25SAlexander Leidinger and requires a mergemaster / etcupdate / etc to update the installed 164217101a25SAlexander Leidinger file. 164317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 164417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180612: 164517101a25SAlexander Leidinger r334930 changed the interface between the NFS modules, so they all 164617101a25SAlexander Leidinger need to be rebuilt. r335018 did a __FreeBSD_version bump for this. 164717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 164817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180530: 164917101a25SAlexander Leidinger As of r334391 lld is the default amd64 system linker; it is installed 165017101a25SAlexander Leidinger as /usr/bin/ld. Kernel build workarounds (see 20180510 entry) are no 165117101a25SAlexander Leidinger longer necessary. 165217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 165317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180530: 165417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The kernel / userland interface for devinfo changed, so you'll 165517101a25SAlexander Leidinger need a new kernel and userland as a pair for it to work (rebuilding 165617101a25SAlexander Leidinger lib/libdevinfo is all that's required). devinfo and devmatch will 165717101a25SAlexander Leidinger not work, but everything else will when there's a mismatch. 165817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 165917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180523: 166017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The on-disk format for hwpmc callchain records has changed to include 166117101a25SAlexander Leidinger threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets 166217101a25SAlexander Leidinger and thus requires that libpmcstat be rebuilt before using a kernel 166317101a25SAlexander Leidinger later than r334108. 166417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 166517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180517: 166617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The vxge(4) driver has been removed. This driver was introduced into 166717101a25SAlexander Leidinger HEAD one week before the Exar left the Ethernet market and is not 166817101a25SAlexander Leidinger known to be used. If you have device vxge in your kernel config file 166917101a25SAlexander Leidinger it must be removed. 167017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 167117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180510: 167217101a25SAlexander Leidinger The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a 167317101a25SAlexander Leidinger working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default 167417101a25SAlexander Leidinger on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However, 167517101a25SAlexander Leidinger it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional 167617101a25SAlexander Leidinger way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for 167717101a25SAlexander Leidinger binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement 167817101a25SAlexander Leidinger will go away. 167917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 168017101a25SAlexander Leidinger NOTE: As of r334391 lld is the default system linker on amd64, and no 168117101a25SAlexander Leidinger workaround is necessary. 168217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 168317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180508: 168417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The nxge(4) driver has been removed. This driver was for PCI-X 10g 168517101a25SAlexander Leidinger cards made by s2io/Neterion. The company was acquired by Exar and 168617101a25SAlexander Leidinger no longer sells or supports Ethernet products. If you have device 168717101a25SAlexander Leidinger nxge in your kernel config file it must be removed. 168817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 168917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180504: 169017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The tz database (tzdb) has been updated to 2018e. This version more 169117101a25SAlexander Leidinger correctly models time stamps in time zones with negative DST such as 169217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and 169317101a25SAlexander Leidinger Africa/Windhoek (1994/2017). This does not affect the UT offsets, only 169417101a25SAlexander Leidinger time zone abbreviations and the tm_isdst flag. 169517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 169617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180502: 169717101a25SAlexander Leidinger The ixgb(4) driver has been removed. This driver was for an early and 169817101a25SAlexander Leidinger uncommon legacy PCI 10GbE for a single ASIC, Intel 82597EX. Intel 169917101a25SAlexander Leidinger quickly shifted to the long lived ixgbe family. If you have device 170017101a25SAlexander Leidinger ixgb in your kernel config file it must be removed. 170117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 170217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180501: 170317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The lmc(4) driver has been removed. This was a WAN interface 170417101a25SAlexander Leidinger card that was already reportedly rare in 2003, and had an ambiguous 170517101a25SAlexander Leidinger license. If you have device lmc in your kernel config file it must 170617101a25SAlexander Leidinger be removed. 170717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 170817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180413: 170917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Support for Arcnet networks has been removed. If you have device 171017101a25SAlexander Leidinger arcnet or device cm in your kernel config file they must be 171117101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed. 171217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 171317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180411: 171417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Support for FDDI networks has been removed. If you have device 171517101a25SAlexander Leidinger fddi or device fpa in your kernel config file they must be 171617101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed. 171717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 171817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180406: 171917101a25SAlexander Leidinger In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the 172017101a25SAlexander Leidinger syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted 172117101a25SAlexander Leidinger log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients 172217101a25SAlexander Leidinger may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers, 172317101a25SAlexander Leidinger microseconds and time zone offsets. 172417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 172517101a25SAlexander Leidinger Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to 172617101a25SAlexander Leidinger send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging 172717101a25SAlexander Leidinger daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no 172817101a25SAlexander Leidinger negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are 172917101a25SAlexander Leidinger updated at the same time. On systems using a different system 173017101a25SAlexander Leidinger logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration 173117101a25SAlexander Leidinger adjustments, depending on the software used. 173217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 173317101a25SAlexander Leidinger When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local 173417101a25SAlexander Leidinger input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages: 173517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 173617101a25SAlexander Leidinger source src { 173717101a25SAlexander Leidinger unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol)); 173817101a25SAlexander Leidinger } 173917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 174017101a25SAlexander Leidinger When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option 174117101a25SAlexander Leidinger of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the 174217101a25SAlexander Leidinger regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline: 174317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 174417101a25SAlexander Leidinger module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off") 174517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 174617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Do note that these changes only affect communication between local 174717101a25SAlexander Leidinger applications and syslogd(8). The format that syslogd(8) uses to 174817101a25SAlexander Leidinger store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems 174917101a25SAlexander Leidinger remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these 175017101a25SAlexander Leidinger purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the 175117101a25SAlexander Leidinger future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are 175217101a25SAlexander Leidinger thus expected to continue to function as before. 175317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 175417101a25SAlexander Leidinger __FreeBSD_version has been incremented to 1200061 to denote this 175517101a25SAlexander Leidinger change. 175617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 175717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180328: 175817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Support for token ring networks has been removed. If you 175917101a25SAlexander Leidinger have "device token" in your kernel config you should remove 176017101a25SAlexander Leidinger it. No device drivers supported token ring. 176117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 176217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180323: 176317101a25SAlexander Leidinger makefs was modified to be able to tag ISO9660 El Torito boot catalog 176417101a25SAlexander Leidinger entries as EFI instead of overloading the i386 tag as done previously. 176517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for 176617101a25SAlexander Leidinger release was updated to use this. This may mean that makefs must be 176717101a25SAlexander Leidinger updated before "make cdrom" can be run in the release directory. This 176817101a25SAlexander Leidinger should be as simple as: 176917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 177017101a25SAlexander Leidinger $ cd $SRCDIR/usr.sbin/makefs 177117101a25SAlexander Leidinger $ make depend all install 177217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 177317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180212: 177417101a25SAlexander Leidinger FreeBSD boot loader enhanced with Lua scripting. It's purely opt-in for 177517101a25SAlexander Leidinger now by building WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH in /etc/src.conf. 177617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Co-existence for the transition period will come shortly. Booting is a 177717101a25SAlexander Leidinger complex environment and test coverage for Lua-enabled loaders has been 177817101a25SAlexander Leidinger thin, so it would be prudent to assume it might not work and make 177917101a25SAlexander Leidinger provisions for backup boot methods. 178017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 178117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180211: 178217101a25SAlexander Leidinger devmatch functionality has been turned on in devd. It will automatically 178317101a25SAlexander Leidinger load drivers for unattached devices. This may cause unexpected drivers 178417101a25SAlexander Leidinger to be loaded. Please report any problems to current@ and 178517101a25SAlexander Leidinger imp@freebsd.org. 178617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 178717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180114: 178817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 178917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 6.0.0. Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about 179017101a25SAlexander Leidinger prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 179117101a25SAlexander Leidinger or higher. 179217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 179317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180110: 179417101a25SAlexander Leidinger LLVM's lld linker is now used as the FreeBSD/amd64 bootstrap linker. 179517101a25SAlexander Leidinger This means it is used to link the kernel and userland libraries and 179617101a25SAlexander Leidinger executables, but is not yet installed as /usr/bin/ld by default. 179717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 179817101a25SAlexander Leidinger To revert to ld.bfd as the bootstrap linker, in /etc/src.conf set 179917101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITHOUT_LLD_BOOTSTRAP=yes 180017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 180117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180110: 180217101a25SAlexander Leidinger On i386, pmtimer has been removed. Its functionality has been folded 180317101a25SAlexander Leidinger into apm. It was a no-op on ACPI in current for a while now (but was 180417101a25SAlexander Leidinger still needed on i386 in FreeBSD 11 and earlier). Users may need to 180517101a25SAlexander Leidinger remove it from kernel config files. 180617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 180717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180104: 180817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The use of RSS hash from the network card aka flowid has been 180917101a25SAlexander Leidinger disabled by default for lagg(4) as it's currently incompatible with 181017101a25SAlexander Leidinger the lacp and loadbalance protocols. 181117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 181217101a25SAlexander Leidinger This can be re-enabled by setting the following in loader.conf: 181317101a25SAlexander Leidinger net.link.lagg.default_use_flowid="1" 181417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 181517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180102: 181617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The SW_WATCHDOG option is no longer necessary to enable the 181717101a25SAlexander Leidinger hardclock-based software watchdog if no hardware watchdog is 181817101a25SAlexander Leidinger configured. As before, SW_WATCHDOG will cause the software 181917101a25SAlexander Leidinger watchdog to be enabled even if a hardware watchdog is configured. 182017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 182117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171215: 182217101a25SAlexander Leidinger r326887 fixes the issue described in the 20171214 UPDATING entry. 182317101a25SAlexander Leidinger r326888 flips the switch back to building GELI support always. 182417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 182517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171214: 182617101a25SAlexander Leidinger r362593 broke ZFS + GELI support for reasons unknown. However, 182717101a25SAlexander Leidinger it also broke ZFS support generally, so GELI has been turned off 182817101a25SAlexander Leidinger by default as the lesser evil in r326857. If you boot off ZFS and/or 182917101a25SAlexander Leidinger GELI, it might not be a good time to update. 183017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 183117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171125: 183217101a25SAlexander Leidinger PowerPC users must update loader(8) by rebuilding world before 183317101a25SAlexander Leidinger installing a new kernel, as the protocol connecting them has 183417101a25SAlexander Leidinger changed. Without the update, loader metadata will not be passed 183517101a25SAlexander Leidinger successfully to the kernel and users will have to enter their 183617101a25SAlexander Leidinger root partition at the kernel mountroot prompt to continue booting. 183717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Newer versions of loader can boot old kernels without issue. 183817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 183917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171110: 184017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The LOADER_FIREWIRE_SUPPORT build variable has been renamed to 184117101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITH/OUT_LOADER_FIREWIRE. LOADER_{NO_,}GELI_SUPPORT has been renamed 184217101a25SAlexander Leidinger to WITH/OUT_LOADER_GELI. 184317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 184417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171106: 184517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The naive and non-compliant support of posix_fallocate(2) in ZFS 184617101a25SAlexander Leidinger has been removed as of r325320. The system call now returns EINVAL 184717101a25SAlexander Leidinger when used on a ZFS file. Although the new behavior complies with the 184817101a25SAlexander Leidinger standard, some consumers are not prepared to cope with it. 184917101a25SAlexander Leidinger One known victim is lld prior to r325420. 185017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 185117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171102: 185217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Building in a FreeBSD src checkout will automatically create object 185317101a25SAlexander Leidinger directories now rather than store files in the current directory if 185417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'make obj' was not ran. Calling 'make obj' is no longer necessary. 185517101a25SAlexander Leidinger This feature can be disabled by setting WITHOUT_AUTO_OBJ=yes in 185617101a25SAlexander Leidinger /etc/src-env.conf (not /etc/src.conf), or passing the option in the 185717101a25SAlexander Leidinger environment. 185817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 185917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171101: 186017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default MAKEOBJDIR has changed from /usr/obj/<srcdir> for native 186117101a25SAlexander Leidinger builds, and /usr/obj/<arch>/<srcdir> for cross-builds, to a unified 186217101a25SAlexander Leidinger /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<arch>. This behavior can be changed to the old 186317101a25SAlexander Leidinger format by setting WITHOUT_UNIFIED_OBJDIR=yes in /etc/src-env.conf, 186417101a25SAlexander Leidinger the environment, or with -DWITHOUT_UNIFIED_OBJDIR when building. 186517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The UNIFIED_OBJDIR option is a transitional feature that will be 186617101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed for 12.0 release; please migrate to the new format for any 186717101a25SAlexander Leidinger tools by looking up the OBJDIR used by 'make -V .OBJDIR' means rather 186817101a25SAlexander Leidinger than hardcoding paths. 186917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 187017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171028: 187117101a25SAlexander Leidinger The native-xtools target no longer installs the files by default to the 187217101a25SAlexander Leidinger OBJDIR. Use the native-xtools-install target with a DESTDIR to install 187317101a25SAlexander Leidinger to ${DESTDIR}/${NXTP} where NXTP defaults to /nxb-bin. 187417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 187517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171021: 187617101a25SAlexander Leidinger As part of the boot loader infrastructure cleanup, LOADER_*_SUPPORT 187717101a25SAlexander Leidinger options are changing from controlling the build if defined / undefined 187817101a25SAlexander Leidinger to controlling the build with explicit 'yes' or 'no' values. They will 187917101a25SAlexander Leidinger shift to WITH/WITHOUT options to match other options in the system. 188017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 188117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171010: 188217101a25SAlexander Leidinger libstand has turned into a private library for sys/boot use only. 188317101a25SAlexander Leidinger It is no longer supported as a public interface outside of sys/boot. 188417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 188517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171005: 188617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The arm port has split armv6 into armv6 and armv7. armv7 is now 188717101a25SAlexander Leidinger a valid TARGET_ARCH/MACHINE_ARCH setting. If you have an armv7 system 188817101a25SAlexander Leidinger and are running a kernel from before r324363, you will need to add 188917101a25SAlexander Leidinger MACHINE_ARCH=armv7 to 'make buildworld' to do a native build. 189017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 189117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171003: 189217101a25SAlexander Leidinger When building multiple kernels using KERNCONF, non-existent KERNCONF 189317101a25SAlexander Leidinger files will produce an error and buildkernel will fail. Previously 189417101a25SAlexander Leidinger missing KERNCONF files silently failed giving no indication as to 189517101a25SAlexander Leidinger why, only to subsequently discover during installkernel that the 189617101a25SAlexander Leidinger desired kernel was never built in the first place. 189717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 189817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170912: 189917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default serial number format for CTL LUNs has changed. This will 190017101a25SAlexander Leidinger affect users who use /dev/diskid/* device nodes, or whose FibreChannel 190117101a25SAlexander Leidinger or iSCSI clients care about their LUNs' serial numbers. Users who 190217101a25SAlexander Leidinger require serial number stability should hardcode serial numbers in 190317101a25SAlexander Leidinger /etc/ctl.conf . 190417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 190517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170912: 190617101a25SAlexander Leidinger For 32-bit arm compiled for hard-float support, soft-floating point 190717101a25SAlexander Leidinger binaries now always get their shared libraries from 190817101a25SAlexander Leidinger LD_SOFT_LIBRARY_PATH (in the past, this was only used if 190917101a25SAlexander Leidinger /usr/libsoft also existed). Only users with a hard-float ld.so, but 191017101a25SAlexander Leidinger soft-float everything else should be affected. 191117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 191217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170826: 191317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The geli password typed at boot is now hidden.

As of r322297, 194517101a25SAlexander Leidinger the information needed to find alternate superblocks has been 194617101a25SAlexander Leidinger moved to the end of the area reserved for the boot block. 194717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Filesystems created with a newfs of this vintage or later 194817101a25SAlexander Leidinger will create the recovery information. If you have a filesystem 194917101a25SAlexander Leidinger created prior to this change and wish to have a recovery block 195017101a25SAlexander Leidinger created for your filesystem, you can do so by running fsck in 195117101a25SAlexander Leidinger foreground mode (i.e., do not use the -p or -y options). As it 195217101a25SAlexander Leidinger starts, fsck will ask ``SAVE DATA TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS'' 195317101a25SAlexander Leidinger to which you should answer yes. 195417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 195517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170728: 195617101a25SAlexander Leidinger As of r321665, an NFSv4 server configuration that services 195717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Kerberos mounts or clients that do not support the uid/gid in 195817101a25SAlexander Leidinger owner/owner_group string capability, must explicitly enable 195917101a25SAlexander Leidinger the nfsuserd daemon by adding nfsuserd_enable="YES" to the 196017101a25SAlexander Leidinger machine's /etc/rc.conf file. 196117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 196217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170722: 196317101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 5.0.0. 196417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites 196517101a25SAlexander Leidinger and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 196617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 196717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170701: 196817101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITHOUT_RCMDS is now the default.

This is 197317101a25SAlexander Leidinger a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must 197417101a25SAlexander Leidinger be careful when performing source upgrades. It is best to run 197517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live 197617101a25SAlexander Leidinger CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition. Additionally, all ports 197717101a25SAlexander Leidinger must be recompiled. powerpc64 is largely unaffected, except in the case 197817101a25SAlexander Leidinger of 32-bit compatibility. All 32-bit binaries will be affected. 197917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 198017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170623: 198117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This 198217101a25SAlexander Leidinger will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited 198317101a25SAlexander Leidinger fashion. This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the 198417101a25SAlexander Leidinger upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across 198517101a25SAlexander Leidinger the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though 198617101a25SAlexander Leidinger enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations. 198717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 198817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170620: 198917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler).

For upgrade, same 200817101a25SAlexander Leidinger precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be 200917101a25SAlexander Leidinger followed. 201017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 201117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170531: 201217101a25SAlexander Leidinger The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base. To render manpages 201317101a25SAlexander Leidinger which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff 201417101a25SAlexander Leidinger from ports (and recommends to install it). 201517101a25SAlexander Leidinger To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the 201617101a25SAlexander Leidinger heirloom doctools roff toolchain from ports via pkg install groff or 201717101a25SAlexander Leidinger via pkg install heirloom-doctools. 201817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 201917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170524: 202017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for 202117101a25SAlexander Leidinger smaller runtime footprint builds. This is useful for embedded systems 202217101a25SAlexander Leidinger which only require one chipset support. 202317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 202417101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf: 202517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 202617101a25SAlexander Leidinger if_ath_load="YES" 202717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 202817101a25SAlexander Leidinger This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci. 202917101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after 203017101a25SAlexander Leidinger if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support. 203117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 203217101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you want to selectively load things (eg on cheaper ARM/MIPS 203317101a25SAlexander Leidinger platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should: 203417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 203517101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load ath_hal 203617101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load the chip modules in question 203717101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load ath_rate, ath_dfs 203817101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load ath_main 203917101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular 204017101a25SAlexander Leidinger bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done. 204117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 204217101a25SAlexander Leidinger For further comments/feedback, poke adrian@ . 204317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 204417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170523: 204517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends 204617101a25SAlexander Leidinger a number of types to 64 bits.

Then, carefully follow the full 205517101a25SAlexander Leidinger procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild everything and 205617101a25SAlexander Leidinger install it on the current system." Specifically, a reboot is required 205717101a25SAlexander Leidinger after installing the new kernel before installing world. While an 205817101a25SAlexander Leidinger installworld normally works by accident from multiuser after rebooting 205917101a25SAlexander Leidinger the proper kernel, there are many cases where this will fail across this 206017101a25SAlexander Leidinger upgrade and installworld from single user is required. 206117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 206217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170424: 206317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The NATM framework including the en(4), fatm(4), hatm(4), and 206417101a25SAlexander Leidinger patm(4) devices has been removed.

This can happen because the make utility reads its 2257456b5dd8SWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. To run 2258456b5dd8SWarner Losh your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make 2259456b5dd8SWarner Losh commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details. 226016ae8351SEd Maste Occasionally a build failure will occur with "make -j" due to a race 226116ae8351SEd Maste condition. If this happens try building again without -j, and please 226216ae8351SEd Maste report a bug if it happens consistently. 22635780f3baSWarner Losh 22645ad05815SWarner Losh When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to 22655ad05815SWarner Losh upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then 22665ad05815SWarner Losh do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path, 22675ad05815SWarner Losh and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try this 22685ad05815SWarner Losh approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade. Since 226944c1484aSJens Schweikhardt the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from 22705ad05815SWarner Losh anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the 22715ad05815SWarner Losh last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's 22725ad05815SWarner Losh an exception. 2273081ff8acSDoug Barton 227456cd269eSEd Maste The update process will emit an error on an attempt to perform a build 227556cd269eSEd Maste or install from a FreeBSD version below the earliest supported version. 227656cd269eSEd Maste When updating from an older version the update should be performed one 227756cd269eSEd Maste major release at a time, including running `make delete-old` at each 227856cd269eSEd Maste step. 227956cd269eSEd Maste 22806eeab389SWarner Losh When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before 2281da0e842aSWarner Losh installing anything can help undo problems.

For EFI booting, see EFI notes. 23070cd61266SWarner Losh 23080cd61266SWarner Losh 3) zpool upgrade the root pool. New bootblocks will work with old 23090cd61266SWarner Losh pools, but not vice versa, so they need to be updated before any 23100cd61266SWarner Losh zpool upgrade. 23118fc25799SMartin Matuska 23128fc25799SMartin Matuska Non-boot pools do not need these updates. 23138fc25799SMartin Matuska 23140cd61266SWarner Losh EFI notes 23150cd61266SWarner Losh --------- 23160cd61266SWarner Losh 23170cd61266SWarner Losh There are two locations the boot loader can be installed into. The 23180cd61266SWarner Losh current location (and the default) is \efi\freebsd\loader.efi and using 23190cd61266SWarner Losh efibootmgr(8) to configure it. The old location, that must be used on 23200cd61266SWarner Losh deficient systems that don't honor efibootmgr(8) protocols, is the 23210cd61266SWarner Losh fallback location of \EFI\BOOT\BOOTxxx.EFI. Generally, you will copy 23220cd61266SWarner Losh /boot/loader.efi to this location, but on systems installed a long time 23230cd61266SWarner Losh ago the ESP may be too small and /boot/boot1.efi may be needed unless 23240cd61266SWarner Losh the ESP has been expanded in the meantime. 23250cd61266SWarner Losh 23260cd61266SWarner Losh Recent systems will have the ESP mounted on /boot/efi, but older ones 23270cd61266SWarner Losh may not have it mounted at all, or mounted in a different 23280cd61266SWarner Losh location. Older arm SD images with MBR used /boot/msdos as the 23290cd61266SWarner Losh mountpoint. The ESP is a MSDOS filesystem. 23300cd61266SWarner Losh 23310cd61266SWarner Losh The EFI boot loader rarely needs to be updated. For ZFS booting, 23320cd61266SWarner Losh however, you must update loader.efi before you do 'zpool upgrade' the 23330cd61266SWarner Losh root zpool, otherwise the old loader.efi may reject the upgraded zpool 23340cd61266SWarner Losh since it does not automatically understand some new features. 23350cd61266SWarner Losh 23360cd61266SWarner Losh See loader.efi(8) and uefi(8) for more details. 23370cd61266SWarner Losh 2338dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 2339dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 2340ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 23411cf0ef11SDavid E.

If all your modules come from ports, then adding 2434d2799054SWarner Losh the port origin directories to PORTS_MODULES instead is also automatic 2435d2799054SWarner Losh and effective, eg: 2436dcef6ce8SAlexander Ziaee PORTS_MODULES+=graphics/drm-kmod graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod 2437134d2e86SWarner Losh 2438ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee [2] To make complete dumps on zfs(4), use bectl(8), which 2439ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee creates bootable snapshots of configurable depth that are 2440ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee selectable via the bootloader. For ufs(4), use dump(8) and 2441ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee restore(8). 2442ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee 2443ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do 2444ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh fsck -p 2445ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -u / 2446ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -a 24478ed2d94aSWarner Losh sh /etc/rc.d/zfs start # mount zfs filesystem, if needed 24488ed2d94aSWarner Losh cd src # full path to source 244947d0d01fSWarner Losh adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time 2450d2799054SWarner Losh Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that you boot 2451d2799054SWarner Losh into single user mode to do the installworld. 2452ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh 2453a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step 2454a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 2455a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 2456a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 2457a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 2458e641c29aSDries Michiels for potential gotchas. See etcupdate(8) for more information. 2459a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 246044c1484aSJens Schweikhardt [5] Usually this step is a no-op. However, from time to time 2461835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 2462e641c29aSDries Michiels step. 2463835284beSWarner Losh 246494877c06SAlexander Leidinger [6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries 246594877c06SAlexander Leidinger can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make 246694877c06SAlexander Leidinger sure that no program is using those libraries anymore. 246794877c06SAlexander Leidinger 2468ed651a74SWarner Losh [8] The new kernel must be able to run existing binaries used by an 2469ed651a74SWarner Losh installworld. When upgrading across major versions, the new kernel's 2470ed651a74SWarner Losh configuration must include the correct COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> option for 2471ed651a74SWarner Losh existing binaries (e.g. COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to run 11.x binaries). Failure 2472ed651a74SWarner Losh to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A 2473ed651a74SWarner Losh GENERIC kernel will include suitable compatibility options to run 2474ed651a74SWarner Losh binaries from older branches. Note that the ability to run binaries 2475ed651a74SWarner Losh from unsupported branches is not guaranteed. 2476c74fe6afSWarner Losh 2477e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 24788ed2d94aSWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. Options also 24798ed2d94aSWarner Losh change over time, so you may need to adjust your custom kernels 24808ed2d94aSWarner Losh for these as well. 2481e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 2482e5f5a852SEitan Adler [9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 2483e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 2484e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 2485e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 2486e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 2487e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 2488e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 2489dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 2490dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 2491f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 2492630f2154SGlen Barberbreakages in tracking -current.
