144f1def68SWarner LoshNOTE: FreeBSD has switched from gcc to clang. If you have trouble bootstrapping
15a46954e2SWarner Loshfrom older versions of FreeBSD, try WITHOUT_CLANG and WITH_GCC to bootstrap to
16a8f2a2b9SEd Mastethe tip of head, and then rebuild without this option. The bootstrap process
17a8f2a2b9SEd Mastefrom older version of current across the gcc/clang cutover is a bit fragile.

19ae940db1SGlen BarberNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 12.x IS SLOW:
20981b538fSGlen Barber	FreeBSD 12.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
21456b5dd8SWarner Losh	and userland.  These features attempt to detect incorrect use of
22456b5dd8SWarner Losh	system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity
23456b5dd8SWarner Losh	checking and fail stop semantics.  They also substantially impact
24456b5dd8SWarner Losh	system performance.  If you want to do performance measurement,
25456b5dd8SWarner Losh	benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off.  This
26456b5dd8SWarner Losh	includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc
27456b5dd8SWarner Losh	debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the
28456b5dd8SWarner Losh	kernel.  Many developers choose to disable these features on build
2999e449f2SJason Evans	machines to maximize performance.  (To completely disable malloc
3099e449f2SJason Evans	debugging, define MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf, or to merely
3199e449f2SJason Evans	disable the most expensive debugging functionality run
32fca3dcdfSWarner Losh	"ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".)

355ad05815SWarner Losh****************************** SPECIAL WARNING: ******************************
365ad05815SWarner Losh
375ad05815SWarner Losh	Due to a bug in some versions of clang that's very hard to workaround in
385ad05815SWarner Losh	the upgrade process, to upgrade to -current you must first upgrade
39fca3dcdfSWarner Losh	either stable/9 after r286035 or stable/10 after r286033 (including
40fca3dcdfSWarner Losh	10.3-RELEASE) or current after r286007 (including stable/11 and
41fca3dcdfSWarner Losh	11.0-RELEASE). These revisions post-date the 10.2 and 9.3 releases, so
42fca3dcdfSWarner Losh	you'll need to take the unusual step of upgrading to the tip of the
43fca3dcdfSWarner Losh	stable branch before moving to 11 or -current via a source upgrade.
4490136961SWarner Losh	stable/11 and 11.0-RELEASE have working newer compiler. This differs
4590136961SWarner Losh	from the historical situation where one could upgrade from anywhere on
4690136961SWarner Losh	the last couple of stable branches, so be careful.
4790136961SWarner Losh
4890136961SWarner Losh	If you're running a hybrid system on 9.x or 10.x with an updated clang
4990136961SWarner Losh	compiler or are using an supported external toolchain, the build system
5090136961SWarner Losh	will allow the upgrade. Otherwise it will print a reminder.

525ad05815SWarner Losh****************************** SPECIAL WARNING: ******************************
53efc06131SSam Leffler
54*9dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170623:
555ab191c4SWarner Losh	Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This
565ab191c4SWarner Losh	will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
575ab191c4SWarner Losh	fashion.  This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
585ab191c4SWarner Losh	upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
595ab191c4SWarner Losh	the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
60*9dd39fd6SWarner Losh	enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations. There is an
61*9dd39fd6SWarner Losh	issue with dependencies which may not properly rebuild everything needed
62*9dd39fd6SWarner Losh	when doing a NO_CLEAN build. Removing *stat*o in lib/libc obj tree is
63*9dd39fd6SWarner Losh	sufficient to avoid this issue.
64*9dd39fd6SWarner Losh
65*9dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170620:
66*9dd39fd6SWarner Losh	Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler). Set WITH_GPL_DTC
67*9dd39fd6SWarner Losh	if you require the GPL compiler.
685ab191c4SWarner Losh
6933ecebd1SRick Macklem20170618:
7033ecebd1SRick Macklem	The internal ABI used for communication between the NFS kernel modules
7133ecebd1SRick Macklem	was changed by r320085, so __FreeBSD_version was bumped to
7233ecebd1SRick Macklem	ensure all the NFS related modules are updated together.
7333ecebd1SRick Macklem
749a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov20170617:
759a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	The ABI of struct event was changed by extending the data
769a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	member to 64bit and adding ext fields.  For upgrade, same
779a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be
789a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	followed.
799a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov
80472c2b48SEd Maste20170531:
81472c2b48SEd Maste	The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base. To render manpages
82472c2b48SEd Maste	which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff
83472c2b48SEd Maste	from ports (and recommends to install it).
84472c2b48SEd Maste	To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the
85472c2b48SEd Maste	heirloom doctools roff toolchain from ports via pkg install groff or
86472c2b48SEd Maste	via pkg install heirloom-doctools.
87472c2b48SEd Maste
889949595eSAdrian Chadd20170524:
899949595eSAdrian Chadd	The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
909949595eSAdrian Chadd	smaller runtime footprint builds.  This is useful for embedded systems
919949595eSAdrian Chadd	which only require one chipset support.
929949595eSAdrian Chadd
939949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
949949595eSAdrian Chadd
959949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath_load="YES"
969949595eSAdrian Chadd
979949595eSAdrian Chadd	This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
989949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
999949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
1009949595eSAdrian Chadd
1019949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
1029949595eSAdrian Chadd	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
1039949595eSAdrian Chadd
1049949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_hal
1059949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load the chip modules in question
1069949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
1079949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_main
1089949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
1099949595eSAdrian Chadd	  bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.
1109949595eSAdrian Chadd

1129949595eSAdrian Chadd
113b149eba4SEd Maste20170523:
114b149eba4SEd Maste	The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
115dcfffd04SEd Maste	a number of types to 64 bits.  Upgrading in place requires care and
116dcfffd04SEd Maste	adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
117dcfffd04SEd Maste
118dcfffd04SEd Maste	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
119dcfffd04SEd Maste	COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
120dcfffd04SEd Maste	system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
121dcfffd04SEd Maste
122dcfffd04SEd Maste	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
123dcfffd04SEd Maste	artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*".   Then, carefully follow the
124dcfffd04SEd Maste	full procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild
125dcfffd04SEd Maste	everything and install it on the current system."  Specifically,
126dcfffd04SEd Maste	a reboot is required after installing the new kernel before
127dcfffd04SEd Maste	installing world.
128b149eba4SEd Maste
129a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis20170424:
130a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	The NATM framework including the en(4), fatm(4), hatm(4), and
131a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	patm(4) devices has been removed.  Consumers should plan a
132a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	migration before the end-of-life date for FreeBSD 11.
133a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis
134a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin20170420:
135a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff has been replaced by a BSD licensed diff. Some features of GNU
136a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	diff has not been implemented, if those are needed a newer version of
137a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff is available via the diffutils package under the gdiff name.
138a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin
1395810e45bSCy Schubert20170413:
1405810e45bSCy Schubert	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
1415810e45bSCy Schubert	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
1425810e45bSCy Schubert	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
143a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
1445810e45bSCy Schubert	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
1455810e45bSCy Schubert	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
1460cad3ecaSCy Schubert	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
1475810e45bSCy Schubert
1481bf5e133SEd Maste20170407:
1491bf5e133SEd Maste	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
1501bf5e133SEd Maste	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be
1511bf5e133SEd Maste	installed. To continue using aarch64-binutils, set
1521bf5e133SEd Maste	CROSS_BINUTILS_PREFIX=/usr/local/aarch64-freebsd/bin .
1531bf5e133SEd Maste
15428da7a25SBryan Drewery20170405:
15528da7a25SBryan Drewery	The UDP optimization in entry 20160818 that added the sysctl
15628da7a25SBryan Drewery	net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast has been reverted.  L2 broadcast
15728da7a25SBryan Drewery	packets will no longer be treated as L3 broadcast packets.
15828da7a25SBryan Drewery
1596ebc1b7bSSteven Hartland20170331:
1604d806fc6SSteven Hartland	Binds and sends to the loopback addresses, IPv6 and IPv4, will now
1616ebc1b7bSSteven Hartland	use any explicitly assigned loopback address available in the jail
1624d806fc6SSteven Hartland	instead of using the first assigned address of the jail.
1636ebc1b7bSSteven Hartland
1640458b265SEnji Cooper20170329:
1650458b265SEnji Cooper	The ctl.ko module no longer implements the iSCSI target frontend:
1660458b265SEnji Cooper	cfiscsi.ko does instead.
1670458b265SEnji Cooper
1680458b265SEnji Cooper	If building cfiscsi.ko as a kernel module, the module can be loaded
1690458b265SEnji Cooper	via one of the following methods:
1700458b265SEnji Cooper	- `cfiscsi_load="YES"` in loader.conf(5).
1710458b265SEnji Cooper	- Add `cfiscsi` to `$kld_list` in rc.conf(5).
1720458b265SEnji Cooper	- ctladm(8)/ctld(8), when compiled with iSCSI support
1730458b265SEnji Cooper	  (`WITH_ISCSI=yes` in src.conf(5))
1740458b265SEnji Cooper
1750458b265SEnji Cooper	Please see cfiscsi(4) for more details.
1760458b265SEnji Cooper
17772dec079SMarius Strobl20170316:
17872dec079SMarius Strobl	The mmcsd.ko module now additionally depends on geom_flashmap.ko.
17972dec079SMarius Strobl	Also, mmc.ko and mmcsd.ko need to be a matching pair built from the
18072dec079SMarius Strobl	same source (previously, the dependency of mmcsd.ko on mmc.ko was
18172dec079SMarius Strobl	missing, but mmcsd.ko now will refuse to load if it is incompatible
18272dec079SMarius Strobl	with mmc.ko).
18372dec079SMarius Strobl
1846ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov20170315:
1856ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	The syntax of ipfw(8) named states was changed to avoid ambiguity.
1866ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	If you have used named states in the firewall rules, you need to modify
1876ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	them after installworld and before rebooting. Now named states must
1886ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	be prefixed with colon.
1896ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov
1903bbe3f67SBaptiste Daroussin20170311:
191f7c23774SEmmanuel Vadot	The old drm (sys/dev/drm/) drivers for i915 and radeon have been
192f7c23774SEmmanuel Vadot	removed as the userland we provide cannot use them. The KMS version
193a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	(sys/dev/drm2) supports the same hardware.
194f7c23774SEmmanuel Vadot
195e1bb2a82SDimitry Andric20170302:
196617b5f75SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 4.0.0.
197617b5f75SDimitry Andric	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
198617b5f75SDimitry Andric	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
199617b5f75SDimitry Andric
200e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon20170221:
201e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	The code that provides support for ZFS .zfs/ directory functionality
202e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	has been reimplemented.  It's not possible now to create a snapshot
203e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	by mkdir under .zfs/snapshot/.  That should be the only user visible
204e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	change.
205e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon
20618f447edSWarner Losh20170216:
20718f447edSWarner Losh	EISA bus support has been removed. The WITH_EISA option is no longer
20818f447edSWarner Losh	valid.
20918f447edSWarner Losh
21018f447edSWarner Losh20170215:
21118f447edSWarner Losh	MCA bus support has been removed.
21218f447edSWarner Losh
213f52e4bdfSEd Maste20170127:
214f52e4bdfSEd Maste	The WITH_LLD_AS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_AS_LD build knobs have been renamed
215f52e4bdfSEd Maste	WITH_LLD_IS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_IS_LD, for consistency with CLANG_IS_CC.
216f52e4bdfSEd Maste
217062a4b8cSSean Bruno20170112:
218062a4b8cSSean Bruno	The EM_MULTIQUEUE kernel configuration option is deprecated now that
219062a4b8cSSean Bruno	the em(4) driver conforms to iflib specifications.
220062a4b8cSSean Bruno
221f2d6ace4SSean Bruno20170109:
222f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	The igb(4), em(4) and lem(4) ethernet drivers are now implemented via
223f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	IFLIB.  If you have a custom kernel configuration that excludes em(4)
224f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	but you use igb(4), you need to re-add em(4) to your custom configuration.
225f2d6ace4SSean Bruno
2264644fe91SDimitry Andric20161217:
22745bd65d6SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 3.9.1.
22845bd65d6SDimitry Andric	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
22945bd65d6SDimitry Andric	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
23045bd65d6SDimitry Andric
2317736f1a9SDimitry Andric20161124:
2327736f1a9SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 3.9.0.
2337736f1a9SDimitry Andric	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
2347736f1a9SDimitry Andric	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
2357736f1a9SDimitry Andric
2364026b447SJustin Hibbits20161119:
2374026b447SJustin Hibbits	The layout of the pmap structure has changed for powerpc to put the pmap
2384026b447SJustin Hibbits	statistics at the front for all CPU variations.  libkvm(3) and all tools
2394026b447SJustin Hibbits	that link against it need to be recompiled.
2404026b447SJustin Hibbits
241448897d3SAndriy Gapon20161030:
242448897d3SAndriy Gapon	isl(4) and cyapa(4) drivers now require a new driver,
243448897d3SAndriy Gapon	chromebook_platform(4), to work properly on Chromebook-class hardware.
244448897d3SAndriy Gapon	On other types of hardware the drivers may need to be configured using
245448897d3SAndriy Gapon	device hints.  Please see the corresponding manual pages for details.
246448897d3SAndriy Gapon
2472616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk20161017:
2482616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	The urtwn(4) driver was merged into rtwn(4) and now consists of
2492616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	rtwn(4) main module + rtwn_usb(4) and rtwn_pci(4) bus-specific
2502616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	parts.
2512616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	Also, firmware for RTL8188CE was renamed due to possible name
2522616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	conflict (rtwnrtl8192cU(B) -> rtwnrtl8192cE(B))
2532616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk
254a0135a1eSBaptiste Daroussin20161015:
255963d6c18SBaptiste Daroussin	GNU rcs has been removed from base.  It is available as packages:
256a0135a1eSBaptiste Daroussin	- rcs: Latest GPLv3 GNU rcs version.
25731b54b30SBaptiste Daroussin	- rcs57: Copy of the latest version of GNU rcs (GPLv2) before it was
25831b54b30SBaptiste Daroussin	removed from base.
259a0135a1eSBaptiste Daroussin
260bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney20161008:
261bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	Use of the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd, or cc_vegas congestion control
262bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	modules now requires that the kernel configuration contain the
263bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	TCP_HHOOK option. (This option is included in the GENERIC kernel.)
264bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney
2659ce3c6b0SEd Maste20161003:
2669ce3c6b0SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY src.conf(5) knob has been retired.
2679ce3c6b0SEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy is always installed as /usr/bin/objcopy.
2689ce3c6b0SEd Maste
269bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar20160924:
270bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
271bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
272bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file
273bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	systems.  On those file systems, foo.So is the same file as foo.so.
274bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar
2755b71d899SBaptiste Daroussin20160918:
276f902d06cSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU rcs has been turned off by default.  It can (temporarily) be built
2770adf2bc8SBaptiste Daroussin	again by adding WITH_RCS knob in src.conf.
278452e1889SBaptiste Daroussin	Otherwise, GNU rcs is available from packages:

28506b93667SConrad Meyer20160908:
28606b93667SConrad Meyer	The queue(3) debugging macro, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG, has been split into
28706b93667SConrad Meyer	two separate components, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRACE and
28806b93667SConrad Meyer	QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRASH.  Define both for the original

2911c828193SNavdeep Parhar20160824:
2921c828193SNavdeep Parhar	r304787 changed some ioctl interfaces between the iSCSI userspace
2931c828193SNavdeep Parhar	programs and the kernel.  ctladm, ctld, iscsictl, and iscsid must be
2941c828193SNavdeep Parhar	rebuilt to work with new kernels.  __FreeBSD_version has been bumped
2951c828193SNavdeep Parhar	to 1200005.

2973e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil20160818:
29828da7a25SBryan Drewery	The UDP receive code has been updated to only treat incoming UDP
29928da7a25SBryan Drewery	packets that were addressed to an L2 broadcast address as L3
30028da7a25SBryan Drewery	broadcast packets.  It is not expected that this will affect any
30128da7a25SBryan Drewery	standards-conforming UDP application.  The new behaviour can be
30228da7a25SBryan Drewery	disabled by setting the sysctl net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast to
30328da7a25SBryan Drewery	0.
30428da7a25SBryan Drewery
30528da7a25SBryan Drewery20160818:
3063e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil	Remove the openbsd_poll system call.
3073e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
3083e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil
309ddc2f805SBrooks Davis20160622:
310678243ffSBrooks Davis	The libc stub for the pipe(2) system call has been replaced with
311f0db8553SBrooks Davis	a wrapper that calls the pipe2(2) system call and the pipe(2)
312f0db8553SBrooks Davis	system call is now only implemented by the kernels that include
313f0db8553SBrooks Davis	"options COMPAT_FREEBSD10" in their config file (this is the
314f0db8553SBrooks Davis	default).  Users should ensure that this option is enabled in
315f0db8553SBrooks Davis	their kernel or upgrade userspace to r302092 before upgrading their
316f0db8553SBrooks Davis	kernel.

318583febf4SAlan Somers20160527:
319583febf4SAlan Somers	CAM will now strip leading spaces from SCSI disks' serial numbers.
320fb9b2ab1SBryan Drewery	This will affect users who create UFS filesystems on SCSI disks using
321583febf4SAlan Somers	those disk's diskid device nodes.  For example, if /etc/fstab
322583febf4SAlan Somers	previously contained a line like
323583febf4SAlan Somers	"/dev/diskid/DISK-%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ABCDEFG0123456", you should
324583febf4SAlan Somers	change it to "/dev/diskid/DISK-ABCDEFG0123456".  Users of geom
325ab5d7fb1SAlan Somers	transforms like gmirror may also be affected.  ZFS users should
326583febf4SAlan Somers	generally be fine.
327583febf4SAlan Somers
3281b82e02fSAlan Somers20160523:
3291b82e02fSAlan Somers	The bitstring(3) API has been updated with new functionality and
3301b82e02fSAlan Somers	improved performance.  But it is binary-incompatible with the old API.
3311b82e02fSAlan Somers	Objects built with the new headers may not be linked against objects
3321b82e02fSAlan Somers	built with the old headers.

33494098ab7SAndrew Turner20160520:
33594098ab7SAndrew Turner	The brk and sbrk functions have been removed from libc on arm64.
33694098ab7SAndrew Turner	Binutils from ports has been updated to not link to these
33794098ab7SAndrew Turner	functions and should be updated to the latest version before
33894098ab7SAndrew Turner	installing a new libc.

3402c0e9e2aSWarner Losh20160517:
3412c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	The armv6 port now defaults to hard float ABI. Limited support
3422c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	for running both hardfloat and soft float on the same system
3432c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	is available using the libraries installed with -DWITH_LIBSOFT.
3442c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	This has only been tested as an upgrade path for installworld
3452c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	and packages may fail or need manual intervention to run. New
3462c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	packages will be needed.
3472c0e9e2aSWarner Losh
348957fc425SIan Lepore	To update an existing self-hosted armv6hf system, you must add

3525f0263c1SJohn Baldwin20160510:
3535f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	Kernel modules compiled outside of a kernel build now default to
3545f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	installing to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.  Many kernel
3555f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	modules built this way (such as those in ports) already overrode
3565f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	KMODDIR explicitly to install into /boot/modules.  However,
3575f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	manually building and installing a module from /sys/modules will
3585f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	now install to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.

36013694b35SWarner Losh20160414:
361a1743365SWarner Losh	The CAM I/O scheduler has been committed to the kernel. There should be
362a1743365SWarner Losh	no user visible impact. This does enable NCQ Trim on ada SSDs. While the
363a1743365SWarner Losh	list of known rogues that claim support for this but actually corrupt
364a1743365SWarner Losh	data is believed to be complete, be on the lookout for data
365a1743365SWarner Losh	corruption. The known rogue list is believed to be complete:
366a1743365SWarner Losh
367a1743365SWarner Losh		o Crucial MX100, M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
368a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M510 and M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
369a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M500 prior to MU07 firmware
370a1743365SWarner Losh		o Samsung 830, 840, and 850 all firmwares
371a1743365SWarner Losh		o FCCT M500 all firmwares
372a1743365SWarner Losh
373a1743365SWarner Losh	Crucial has firmware http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware
374a1743365SWarner Losh	with working NCQ TRIM. For Micron branded drives, see your sales rep for
375a1743365SWarner Losh	updated firmware. Black listed drives will work correctly because these
376a1743365SWarner Losh	drives work correctly so long as no NCQ TRIMs are sent to them. Given
377a1743365SWarner Losh	this list is the same as found in Linux, it's believed there are no
378a1743365SWarner Losh	other rogues in the market place. All other models from the above
379a1743365SWarner Losh	vendors work.
380a1743365SWarner Losh
381a1743365SWarner Losh	To be safe, if you are at all concerned, you can quirk each of your
382a1743365SWarner Losh	drives to prevent NCQ from being sent by setting:
383a1743365SWarner Losh		kern.cam.ada.X.quirks="0x2"
384a1743365SWarner Losh	in loader.conf. If the drive requires the 4k sector quirk, set the
385a1743365SWarner Losh	quirks entry to 0x3.

387497e8091SBryan Drewery20160330:
388497e8091SBryan Drewery	The FAST_DEPEND build option has been removed and its functionality is
389497e8091SBryan Drewery	now the one true way.  The old mkdep(1) style of 'make depend' has
390497e8091SBryan Drewery	been removed.  See 20160311 for further details.
391497e8091SBryan Drewery
392da1b038aSJustin Hibbits20160317:
393da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	Resource range types have grown from unsigned long to uintmax_t.  All
394da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	drivers, and anything using libdevinfo, need to be recompiled.
395da1b038aSJustin Hibbits
396d783b170SBryan Drewery20160311:
397d783b170SBryan Drewery	WITH_FAST_DEPEND is now enabled by default for in-tree and out-of-tree
398d783b170SBryan Drewery	builds.  It no longer runs mkdep(1) during 'make depend', and the
399d783b170SBryan Drewery	'make depend' stage can safely be skipped now as it is auto ran
400d783b170SBryan Drewery	when building 'make all' and will generate all SRCS and DPSRCS before
401d783b170SBryan Drewery	building anything else.  Dependencies are gathered at compile time with
402d783b170SBryan Drewery	-MF flags kept in separate .depend files per object file.  Users should
403d783b170SBryan Drewery	run 'make cleandepend' once if using -DNO_CLEAN to clean out older
404d783b170SBryan Drewery	stale .depend files.

406c834228bSDimitry Andric20160306:
407c834228bSDimitry Andric	On amd64, clang 3.8.0 can now insert sections of type AMD64_UNWIND into
408c834228bSDimitry Andric	kernel modules.  Therefore, if you load any kernel modules at boot time,
409c834228bSDimitry Andric	please install the boot loaders after you install the kernel, but before
410c834228bSDimitry Andric	rebooting, e.g.:
411c834228bSDimitry Andric
412c834228bSDimitry Andric	make buildworld
413c834228bSDimitry Andric	make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

420e74e149fSDimitry Andric20160305:
421e74e149fSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb and compiler-rt have been upgraded to 3.8.0.  Please
422e74e149fSDimitry Andric	see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and

4258b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin20160301:
4268b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	The AIO subsystem is now a standard part of the kernel.  The
4278b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	VFS_AIO kernel option and aio.ko kernel module have been removed.
4288b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	Due to stability concerns, asynchronous I/O requests are only
4298b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	permitted on sockets and raw disks by default.  To enable
4308b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	asynchronous I/O requests on all file types, set the
4318b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl to a non-zero value.
4328b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin
433de463b29SEd Maste20160226:
434ca8b902aSEd Maste	The ELF object manipulation tool objcopy is now provided by the
435ca8b902aSEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain project rather than by GNU binutils. It should be a
436ca8b902aSEd Maste	drop-in replacement, with the addition of arm64 support. The
437ca8b902aSEd Maste	(temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set
438ca8b902aSEd Maste	to obtain the GNU version if necessary.
439ca8b902aSEd Maste
440d4b9233aSAlan Somers20160129:
441d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Building ZFS pools on top of zvols is prohibited by default.  That
442d4b9233aSAlan Somers	feature has never worked safely; it's always been prone to deadlocks.
443d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Using a zvol as the backing store for a VM guest's virtual disk will
444d4b9233aSAlan Somers	still work, even if the guest is using ZFS.  Legacy behavior can be
445d4b9233aSAlan Somers	restored by setting vfs.zfs.vol.recursive=1.
446d4b9233aSAlan Somers
44760c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav20160119:
44860c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	The NONE and HPN patches has been removed from OpenSSH.  They are
44960c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	still available in the security/openssh-portable port.
45060c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav
4513bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo20160113:
4523bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	With the addition of ypldap(8), a new _ypldap user is now required
4533bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add the user
4543bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
4553bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo
4564d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin20151216:
4574d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	The tftp loader (pxeboot) now uses the option root-path directive. As a
4584d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	consequence it no longer looks for a pxeboot.4th file on the tftp
4594d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	server. Instead it uses the regular /boot infrastructure as with the
4604d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	other loaders.
4614d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin
462ca7e5285SWarner Losh20151211:
463ca7e5285SWarner Losh	The code to start recording plug and play data into the modules has
464ca7e5285SWarner Losh	been committed. While the old tools will properly build a new kernel,
465ca7e5285SWarner Losh	a number of warnings about "unknown metadata record 4" will be produced
466ca7e5285SWarner Losh	for an older kldxref. To avoid such warnings, make sure to rebuild
467ca7e5285SWarner Losh	the kernel toolchain (or world). Make sure that you have r292078 or
468ca7e5285SWarner Losh	later when trying to build 292077 or later before rebuilding.
469ca7e5285SWarner Losh
470015dfda6SEd Maste20151207:
471015dfda6SEd Maste	Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
472015dfda6SEd Maste	installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
473015dfda6SEd Maste	requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
474015dfda6SEd Maste	world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
475015dfda6SEd Maste	in src.conf(5).
476015dfda6SEd Maste
47733ba1088SRick Macklem20151130:
47833ba1088SRick Macklem	r291527 changed the internal interface between the nfsd.ko and
47933ba1088SRick Macklem	nfscommon.ko modules. As such, they must both be upgraded to-gether.
48033ba1088SRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
48133ba1088SRick Macklem
482af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin20151108:
483af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	Add support for unicode collation strings leads to a change of
484af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	order of files listed by ls(1) for example. To get back to the old
485af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	behaviour, set LC_COLLATE environment variable to "C".
486af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin
4870492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	Databases administrators will need to reindex their databases given
4880492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	collation results will be different.
4890492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin
49010b5202eSBaptiste Daroussin	Due to a bug in install(1) it is recommended to remove the ancient

499ebda5173SAlexander Motin20151020:
500ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Qlogic 24xx/25xx firmware images were updated from 5.5.0 to 7.3.0.
501ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Kernel modules isp_2400_multi and isp_2500_multi were removed and
502ebda5173SAlexander Motin	should be replaced with isp_2400 and isp_2500 modules respectively.
503ebda5173SAlexander Motin
50456585ab5SBryan Drewery20151017:
50556585ab5SBryan Drewery	The build previously allowed using 'make -n' to not recurse into
50656585ab5SBryan Drewery	sub-directories while showing what commands would be executed, and
50756585ab5SBryan Drewery	'make -n -n' to recursively show commands.  Now 'make -n' will recurse
50856585ab5SBryan Drewery	and 'make -N' will not.
50956585ab5SBryan Drewery
510ff446b05SPeter Wemm20151012:
511ff446b05SPeter Wemm	If you specify SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF in make.conf, mergemaster
512ff446b05SPeter Wemm	and etcupdate will now use this file. A custom sendmail.cf is now
513ff446b05SPeter Wemm	updated via this mechanism rather than via installworld.  If you had
514ff446b05SPeter Wemm	excluded sendmail.cf in mergemaster.rc or etcupdate.conf, you may
515ff446b05SPeter Wemm	want to remove the exclusion or change it to "always install".
516ff446b05SPeter Wemm	/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is now managed the same way regardless of
517ff446b05SPeter Wemm	whether SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF is used.  If you are not using
518ff446b05SPeter Wemm	SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF there should be no change in behavior.
519ff446b05SPeter Wemm
5204a3760baSAlexander Motin20151011:
5214a3760baSAlexander Motin	Compatibility shims for legacy ATA device names have been removed.
5224a3760baSAlexander Motin	It includes ATA_STATIC_ID kernel option, kern.cam.ada.legacy_aliases

5315882166bSEd Maste20150924:
53205117b57SEd Maste	Kernel debug files have been moved to /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/,
53305117b57SEd Maste	and renamed from .symbols to .debug. This reduces the size requirements
53405117b57SEd Maste	on the boot partition or file system and provides consistency with
53505117b57SEd Maste	userland debug files.
53605117b57SEd Maste
53705117b57SEd Maste	When using the supported kernel installation method the
53805117b57SEd Maste	/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel directory will be renamed (to kernel.old)
53905117b57SEd Maste	as is done with /boot/kernel.
54005117b57SEd Maste
54105117b57SEd Maste	Developers wishing to maintain the historical behavior of installing

5478ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	used to check presence of a parent interface in the list, so old
5488ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	scripts would fail to start wireless networking. Thus, etcupdate(3)
5498ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	or mergemaster(8) run is required after kernel update, to update your

558646041a8SMark Murray	Kernel-loadable modules for the random(4) device are back. To use
559646041a8SMark Murray	them, the kernel must have

562646041a8SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_LOADABLE
563646041a8SMark Murray
564646041a8SMark Murray	kldload(8) can then be used to load random_fortuna.ko
565646041a8SMark Murray	or random_yarrow.ko. Please note that due to the indirect
566646041a8SMark Murray	function calls that the loadable modules need to provide,
567646041a8SMark Murray	the build-in variants will be slightly more efficient.
568646041a8SMark Murray
569646041a8SMark Murray	The random(4) kernel option RANDOM_DUMMY has been retired due to

578e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	The polarity of Pulse Per Second (PPS) capture events with the
579e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	uart(4) driver has been corrected.  Prior to this change the PPS
580e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	"assert" event corresponded to the trailing edge of a positive PPS
581e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	pulse and the "clear" event was the leading edge of the next pulse.
582e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
583e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	As the width of a PPS pulse in a typical GPS receiver is on the
584e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	order of 1 millisecond, most users will not notice any significant
585e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	difference with this change.
586e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
587e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	Anyone who has compensated for the historical polarity reversal by
588e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	configuring a negative offset equal to the pulse width will need to
589e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	remove that workaround.

6091635369eSSteven Hartland20150728:
61068d5f492SSteven Hartland	As ZFS requires more kernel stack pages than is the default on some

6131635369eSSteven Hartland
6141635369eSSteven Hartland	Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=X' where X is greater
6151635369eSSteven Hartland	than or equal to ZFS_MIN_KSTACK_PAGES i.e. 4 in such configurations.

617ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro20150706:
618ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail has been updated to 8.15.2.  Starting with FreeBSD 11.0
619ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	and sendmail 8.15, sendmail uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by
620ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	default, i.e., they will not contain "::".  For example, instead
621ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	of ::1, it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1.  This permits a zero subnet
622ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	to have a more specific match, such as different map entries for
623ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0.  This change requires that configuration
624ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	data (including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset, etc.) must
625ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	use the same format, so make certain such configuration data is
626ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	upgrading.  As a very simple check search for patterns like
627ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'.  To return to the old
628ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	behavior, set the m4 option confUSE_COMPRESSED_IPV6_ADDRESSES or
629ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	the cf option UseCompressedIPv6Addresses.

631d1b06863SMark Murray20150630:
632d1b06863SMark Murray	The default kernel entropy-processing algorithm is now
633d1b06863SMark Murray	Fortuna, replacing Yarrow.
6346f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
635d1b06863SMark Murray	Assuming you have 'device random' in your kernel config
636d1b06863SMark Murray	file, the configurations allow a kernel option to override
637d1b06863SMark Murray	this default. You may choose *ONE* of:
6386f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
639d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_YARROW	# Legacy /dev/random algorithm.
640d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_DUMMY	# Blocking-only driver.
6416f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
642d1b06863SMark Murray	If you have neither, you get Fortuna.  For most people,
643d1b06863SMark Murray	read no further, Fortuna will give a /dev/random that works
644d1b06863SMark Murray	like it always used to, and the difference will be irrelevant.
6456f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
646d1b06863SMark Murray	If you remove 'device random', you get *NO* kernel-processed
64702dcb6e0SEitan Adler	entropy at all. This may be acceptable to folks building
648d1b06863SMark Murray	embedded systems, but has complications. Carry on reading,
649d1b06863SMark Murray	and it is assumed you know what you need.
650d1b06863SMark Murray
651d1b06863SMark Murray	*PLEASE* read random(4) and random(9) if you are in the
65202dcb6e0SEitan Adler	habit of tweaking kernel configs, and/or if you are a member
653d1b06863SMark Murray	of the embedded community, wanting specific and not-usual
654d1b06863SMark Murray	behaviour from your security subsystems.
655d1b06863SMark Murray
656d1b06863SMark Murray	NOTE!! If you use RANDOM_DUMMY and/or have no 'device
657d1b06863SMark Murray	random', you will NOT have a functioning /dev/random, and
658d1b06863SMark Murray	many cryptographic features will not work, including SSH.
659d1b06863SMark Murray	You may also find strange behaviour from the random(3) set
660d1b06863SMark Murray	of library functions, in particular sranddev(3), srandomdev(3)
661d1b06863SMark Murray	and arc4random(3). The reason for this is that the KERN_ARND
662d1b06863SMark Murray	sysctl only returns entropy if it thinks it has some to
663d1b06863SMark Murray	share, and with RANDOM_DUMMY or no 'device random' this
664d1b06863SMark Murray	will never happen.

830143c11b4SDimitry Andric	powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be
831143c11b4SDimitry Andric	built (with clang) and installed first.  If both clang and libc++ are
832143c11b4SDimitry Andric	missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++.
833143c11b4SDimitry Andric
834143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow
835143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the instructions for 9.x above.
836143c11b4SDimitry Andric
8370ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by
8380ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	default, and do not build clang.
8390ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
8400ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to
8410ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all.  In those
8420ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround.
8430ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
844143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which
845143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the following are most likely to appear:
846143c11b4SDimitry Andric
847143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wabsolute-value
848143c11b4SDimitry Andric
849143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This warns in two cases, for both C and C++:
850143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned
851143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was
852143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  intended.  The code should be fixed, if at all possible.  If you are
853143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without
854143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit
855143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  cast, or disable the warning.
856143c11b4SDimitry Andric
857143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called
858143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation.
859143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please
860143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted
861143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  side-effects.
862143c11b4SDimitry Andric
863143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wtautological-undefined-compare and
864143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wundefined-bool-conversion
865143c11b4SDimitry Andric
866143c11b4SDimitry Andric	These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while
867143c11b4SDimitry Andric	'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code.  However, there is
868143c11b4SDimitry Andric	some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this
869143c11b4SDimitry Andric	feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions.
870143c11b4SDimitry Andric
871143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Squid and openjdk do this, for example.  The warning can be turned off
872143c11b4SDimitry Andric	for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result
873143c11b4SDimitry Andric	in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are
874143c11b4SDimitry Andric	unreachable could be optimized away.
875143c11b4SDimitry Andric
8760b327b63SRick Macklem20141222:
8770b327b63SRick Macklem	The old NFS client and server (kernel options NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER)

8885f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	such hierarchies and without SUBDIR entries in the parent

9012d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
9022d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf,
9032d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	most probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will
9042d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	indicate what you need to do.
9052d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
9062d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to

935243d6a50SSean Bruno
936232490c6SNathan Whitehorn20140729:
937232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	The ofwfb driver, used to provide a graphics console on PowerPC when
93874342541SChristian Brueffer	using vt(4), no longer allows mmap() of all physical memory. This
939232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	will prevent Xorg on PowerPC with some ATI graphics cards from
940232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	initializing properly unless x11-servers/xorg-server is updated to

97318aa7fccSRick Macklem20140701:
97418aa7fccSRick Macklem	Commit r268115 has added NFSv4.1 server support, merged from
97518aa7fccSRick Macklem	projects/nfsv4.1-server.  Since this includes changes to the
97618aa7fccSRick Macklem	internal interfaces between the NFS related modules, a full
97718aa7fccSRick Macklem	build of the kernel and modules will be necessary.
97818aa7fccSRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped.

980824a9093SEd Maste20140629:
981824a9093SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_VT_SUPPORT kernel config knob has been renamed
982824a9093SEd Maste	WITHOUT_VT.  (The other _SUPPORT knobs have a consistent meaning

98538b72f8cSAlexander Motin20140619:
98638b72f8cSAlexander Motin	Maximal length of the serial number in CTL was increased from 16 to
98738b72f8cSAlexander Motin	64 chars, that breaks ABI.  All CTL-related tools, such as ctladm
98838b72f8cSAlexander Motin	and ctld, need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
98938b72f8cSAlexander Motin
990727a7ce8SJulio Merino20140606:
991727a7ce8SJulio Merino	The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and
992727a7ce8SJulio Merino	1 respectively to match the upstream numbers.  They were out of
993727a7ce8SJulio Merino	sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the
994727a7ce8SJulio Merino	upstream versions were not respected.  These libraries are private
995727a7ce8SJulio Merino	and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a
996727a7ce8SJulio Merino	non-issue.  However, unclean source trees will yield broken test
997727a7ce8SJulio Merino	programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a
998727a7ce8SJulio Merino	"make installworld".
999727a7ce8SJulio Merino
10008c7ec47aSJulio Merino	Additionally, the atf-sh binary was made private by moving it into
10018c7ec47aSJulio Merino	/usr/libexec/.  Already-built shell test programs will keep the
10028c7ec47aSJulio Merino	path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old"
10038c7ec47aSJulio Merino	is run.
10048c7ec47aSJulio Merino
1005727a7ce8SJulio Merino	If you are using WITH_TESTS=yes (not the default), wipe the object
1006727a7ce8SJulio Merino	tree and rebuild from scratch to prevent spurious test failures.
10078c7ec47aSJulio Merino	This is only needed once: the misnumbered libraries and misplaced
10088c7ec47aSJulio Merino	binaries have been added to OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc so they will
10098c7ec47aSJulio Merino	be removed during a clean upgrade.

101185d60e68SDimitry Andric20140512:

1014fa114234SWarner Losh20140508:
1015fa114234SWarner Losh	We bogusly installed src.opts.mk in /usr/share/mk. This file should
1016fa114234SWarner Losh	be removed to avoid issues in the future (and has been added to
1017fa114234SWarner Losh	ObsoleteFiles.inc).
1018fa114234SWarner Losh
1019a46954e2SWarner Losh20140505:
1020a46954e2SWarner Losh	/etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the
1021a46954e2SWarner Losh	past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old
1022a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this
1023a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf
1024a46954e2SWarner Losh	(which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the
1025a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual
102659a24370SWarner Losh	directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that.
1027a46954e2SWarner Losh	Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios,
102855b76981SWarner Losh	other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of
102955b76981SWarner Losh	temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld
103059a24370SWarner Losh	as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this
103159a24370SWarner Losh	setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree.
1032a46954e2SWarner Losh
1033bd871f14SWarner Losh	One side effect of all this cleaning up is that bsd.compiler.mk
1034bd871f14SWarner Losh	is no longer implicitly included by bsd.own.mk. If you wish to
1035bd871f14SWarner Losh	use COMPILER_TYPE, you must now explicitly include bsd.compiler.mk
1036bd871f14SWarner Losh	as well.

1042e9aba509SEnji Cooper20140424:
1043e9aba509SEnji Cooper	The knob WITHOUT_VI was added to the base system, which controls
1044e9aba509SEnji Cooper	building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1)
1045e9aba509SEnji Cooper	in order to reorder files share/termcap and didn't build ex(1) as a
1046e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build tool, so building/installing with WITH_VI is highly advised for
1047e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build hosts for older releases.
1048e9aba509SEnji Cooper
1049e9aba509SEnji Cooper	This issue has been fixed in stable/9 and stable/10 in r277022 and
1050e9aba509SEnji Cooper	r276991, respectively.

10542bb08298SWarner Losh	a decade. Please move to using WITH_HESIOD instead or your builds
10552bb08298SWarner Losh	will silently lack HESIOD.

10574c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar20140405:
10584c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
10594c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	of the low-level console. Previously the uart(4) driver prevented
10604c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL
10614c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make
10624c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	changes to the serial console port without having to reboot.
10634c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is
10644c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal
10654c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact.
10664c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the
10674c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to
1068086036aaSMarcel Moolenaar	preserve the previous behaviour. E.g:
10694c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	    ttyu0  "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"  vt100  on  secure

1078a9fd2218SWarner Losh	dts files not being supported by the BSDL dtc compiler. You will need
1079a9fd2218SWarner Losh	to rebuild your kernel toolchain to pick up the new compiler. Core dumps
1080a9fd2218SWarner Losh	may result while building dtb files during a kernel build if you fail

10919f23d19aSDimitry Andric	An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
10929f23d19aSDimitry Andric	This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built

11035e4b8b0dSXin LI	OpenSSH is now built with sandbox support, and will use sandbox as
11045e4b8b0dSXin LI	the default privilege separation method.  This requires Capsicum
11055e4b8b0dSXin LI	capability mode support in kernel.

1107d1166b82SKai Wang20140128:
11082e503d34SKai Wang	The libelf and libdwarf libraries have been updated to newer
11092e503d34SKai Wang	versions from upstream. Shared library version numbers for
11102e503d34SKai Wang	these two libraries were bumped. Any ports or binaries
11112e503d34SKai Wang	requiring these two libraries should be recompiled.
11122e503d34SKai Wang	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1100006.

1114d7efee23SJulio Merino20140110:
1115d7efee23SJulio Merino	If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile
1116d7efee23SJulio Merino	instead of providing an explicit one, this would prevent such
1117d7efee23SJulio Merino	Makefile from providing its own Kyuafile in the future during
1118d7efee23SJulio Merino	NO_CLEAN builds.  This has been fixed in the Makefiles but manual
1119d7efee23SJulio Merino	intervention is needed to clean an objdir if you use NO_CLEAN:
1120d7efee23SJulio Merino	  # find /usr/obj -name Kyuafile | xargs rm -f

11222773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk20131213:
11232773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The behavior of gss_pseudo_random() for the krb5 mechanism
11242773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	has changed, for applications requesting a longer random string
11252773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.
11262773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	In particular, the random string produced from a session key of
11272773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	enctype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 or aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 will
11282773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	be different at the 17th octet and later, after this change.
11292773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The counter used in the PRF+ construction is now encoded as a
11302773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	big-endian integer in accordance with RFC 4402.
11312773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1100004.

1133e01d128aSJulio Merino20131108:
1134e01d128aSJulio Merino	The WITHOUT_ATF build knob has been removed and its functionality
1135e01d128aSJulio Merino	has been subsumed into the more generic WITHOUT_TESTS.  If you were
1136e01d128aSJulio Merino	using the former to disable the build of the ATF libraries, you
1137e01d128aSJulio Merino	should change your settings to use the latter.

1139b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis20131025:
1140b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	The default version of mtree is nmtree which is obtained from
1141b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	NetBSD.  The output is generally the same, but may vary
1142b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	slightly.  If you found you need identical output adding
1143b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	"-F freebsd9" to the command line should do the trick.  For the
1144b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	time being, the old mtree is available as fmtree.

1146e3ededfaSBryan Drewery20131014:
1147e3ededfaSBryan Drewery	libbsdyml has been renamed to libyaml and moved to /usr/lib/private.
1148e3ededfaSBryan Drewery	This will break ports-mgmt/pkg. Rebuild the port, or upgrade to pkg

11599c80b8aaSWarner Losh20131010:
116084b354cbSHiroki Sato	The rc.d/jail script has been updated to support jail(8)
116184b354cbSHiroki Sato	configuration file.  The "jail_<jname>_*" rc.conf(5) variables
116284b354cbSHiroki Sato	for per-jail configuration are automatically converted to
116384b354cbSHiroki Sato	/var/run/jail.<jname>.conf before the jail(8) utility is invoked.
116484b354cbSHiroki Sato	This is transparently backward compatible.  See below about some
116584b354cbSHiroki Sato	incompatibilities and rc.conf(5) manual page for more details.
116684b354cbSHiroki Sato
116784b354cbSHiroki Sato	These variables are now deprecated in favor of jail(8) configuration
116884b354cbSHiroki Sato	file.  One can use "rc.d/jail config <jname>" command to generate
116984b354cbSHiroki Sato	a jail(8) configuration file in /var/run/jail.<jname>.conf without
117084b354cbSHiroki Sato	running the jail(8) utility.   The default pathname of the
117184b354cbSHiroki Sato	configuration file is /etc/jail.conf and can be specified by
117284b354cbSHiroki Sato	using $jail_conf or $jail_<jname>_conf variables.
117384b354cbSHiroki Sato
117484b354cbSHiroki Sato	Please note that jail_devfs_ruleset accepts an integer at
117584b354cbSHiroki Sato	this moment.  Please consider to rewrite the ruleset name
117684b354cbSHiroki Sato	with an integer.

11782d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav20130930:
11792d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav	BIND has been removed from the base system.  If all you need
11802d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav	is a local resolver, simply enable and start the local_unbound
11812d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav	service instead.  Otherwise, several versions of BIND are
11828a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	available in the ports tree.   The dns/bind99 port is one example.
11838a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues
11848a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	With this change, nslookup(1) and dig(1) are no longer in the base
1185edc144a1SCraig Rodrigues	system.  Users should instead use host(1) and drill(1) which are
11868a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	in the base system.  Alternatively, nslookup and dig can
11878a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	be obtained by installing the dns/bind-tools port.

1189665751ecSGlen Barber20130916:
1190665751ecSGlen Barber	With the addition of unbound(8), a new unbound user is now
1191665751ecSGlen Barber	required during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to
1192665751ecSGlen Barber	add the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
1193665751ecSGlen Barber
1194bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav20130911:
1195bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	OpenSSH is now built with DNSSEC support, and will by default
1196bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	silently trust signed SSHFP records.  This can be controlled with
1197bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	the VerifyHostKeyDNS client configuration setting.  DNSSEC support
1198bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	can be disabled entirely with the WITHOUT_LDNS option in src.conf.
1199bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav
1200d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall20130906:
1201d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	The GNU Compiler Collection and C++ standard library (libstdc++)
1202d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	are no longer built by default on platforms where clang is the system
1203d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	compiler.  You can enable them with the WITH_GCC and WITH_GNUCXX
1204d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	options in src.conf.
1205d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall
12064877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek20130905:
12072057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	The PROCDESC kernel option is now part of the GENERIC kernel
12082057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	configuration and is required for the rwhod(8) to work.
12092057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	If you are using custom kernel configuration, you should include
12102057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	'options PROCDESC'.
12112057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek
12122057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek20130905:
12134877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	The API and ABI related to the Capsicum framework was modified
12144877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	in backward incompatible way. The userland libraries and programs
12154877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	have to be recompiled to work with the new kernel. This includes the
12164877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	following libraries and programs, but the whole buildworld is
12174877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	advised: libc, libprocstat, dhclient, tcpdump, hastd, hastctl,
12184877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	kdump, procstat, rwho, rwhod, uniq.
12194877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek
1220c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney20130903:
1221c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney	AES-NI intrinsic support has been added to gcc.  The AES-NI module
1222c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney	has been updated to use this support.  A new gcc is required to build
1223c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney	the aesni module on both i386 and amd64.
1224c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney
122546be218dSDavid E. O'Brien20130821:
122646be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	The PADLOCK_RNG and RDRAND_RNG kernel options are now devices.
122746be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	Thus "device padlock_rng" and "device rdrand_rng" should be
122846be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	used instead of "options PADLOCK_RNG" & "options RDRAND_RNG".
122946be218dSDavid E. O'Brien
12300ff204bbSPeter Wemm20130813:
12310ff204bbSPeter Wemm	WITH_ICONV has been split into two feature sets.  WITH_ICONV now
12320ff204bbSPeter Wemm	enables just the iconv* functionality and is now on by default.
12330ff204bbSPeter Wemm	WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT enables the libiconv api and link time
1234a1ff7af0SPedro F. Giffuni	compatibility.  Set WITHOUT_ICONV to build the old way.
12350dc59c0fSPeter Wemm	If you have been using WITH_ICONV before, you will very likely
12360dc59c0fSPeter Wemm	need to turn on WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT.
12370ff204bbSPeter Wemm
1238ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato20130806:
1239c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	INVARIANTS option now enables DEBUG for code with OpenSolaris and
1240c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	Illumos origin, including ZFS.  If you have INVARIANTS in your
1241c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	kernel configuration, then there is no need to set DEBUG or ZFS_DEBUG
1242c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	explicitly.
1243c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	DEBUG used to enable witness(9) tracking of OpenSolaris (mostly ZFS)
1244c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	locks if WITNESS option was set.  Because that generated a lot of
1245c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	witness(9) reports and all of them were believed to be false
1246c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	positives, this is no longer done.  New option OPENSOLARIS_WITNESS
1247c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	can be used to achieve the previous behavior.
1248c319ea15SAndriy Gapon
1249c319ea15SAndriy Gapon20130806:
1250ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	Timer values in IPv6 data structures now use time_uptime instead
1251ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	of time_second.  Although this is not a user-visible functional
1252ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	change, userland utilities which directly use them---ndp(8),
1253ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	rtadvd(8), and rtsold(8) in the base system---need to be updated
1254ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	to r253970 or later.
1255ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato
12569d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker20130802:
12579d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	find -delete can now delete the pathnames given as arguments,
12589d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	instead of only files found below them or if the pathname did
12599d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	not contain any slashes. Formerly, the following error message
12609d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	would result:
12619d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker
12629d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	find: -delete: <path>: relative path potentially not safe
12639d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker
12649d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	Deleting the pathnames given as arguments can be prevented
12659d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	without error messages using -mindepth 1 or by changing
12669d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	directory and passing "." as argument to find. This works in the
12679d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	old as well as the new version of find.
12689d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker
1269663dea3dSAndriy Gapon20130726:
1270663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	Behavior of devfs rules path matching has been changed.
1271663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	Pattern is now always matched against fully qualified devfs
1272663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	path and slash characters must be explicitly matched by
1273663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	slashes in pattern (FNM_PATHNAME). Rulesets involving devfs
1274663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	subdirectories must be reviewed.
1275663dea3dSAndriy Gapon
127646e95f64SAndrew Turner20130716:
127746e95f64SAndrew Turner	The default ARM ABI has changed to the ARM EABI. The old ABI is
127846e95f64SAndrew Turner	incompatible with the ARM EABI and all programs and modules will
127946e95f64SAndrew Turner	need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
128046e95f64SAndrew Turner
128146e95f64SAndrew Turner	To keep using the old ABI ensure the WITHOUT_ARM_EABI knob is set.
128246e95f64SAndrew Turner
128346e95f64SAndrew Turner	NOTE: Support for the old ABI will be removed in the future and
128446e95f64SAndrew Turner	users are advised to upgrade.

1312ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty
1313ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty	this likely due to an old instance of make in

1322ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty20130516:
1323ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	Use bmake by default.
1324ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via
1325ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	-DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old
1326ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE.
1327ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty
1328ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command
1329ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the
1330ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	command line.  Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer
1331ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent
1332ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	behavior in parallel build.

137423d44ab5SDavide Italiano	Recent commits to callout(9) changed the size of struct callout,
137523d44ab5SDavide Italiano	so the KBI is probably heavily disturbed. Also, some functions
137623d44ab5SDavide Italiano	in callout(9)/sleep(9)/sleepqueue(9)/condvar(9) KPIs were replaced
137723d44ab5SDavide Italiano	by macros. Every kernel module using it won't load, so rebuild
137823d44ab5SDavide Italiano	is requested.

13803a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	The ctl device has been re-enabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64,
13813a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	but does not initialize by default (because of the new CTL_DISABLE
13823a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	option) to save memory.  To re-enable it, remove the CTL_DISABLE
13833a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	option from the kernel config file or set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0
13843a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	in /boot/loader.conf.

1386fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd20130301:
1387fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	The ctl device has been disabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64.
1388fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	This was done due to the extra memory being allocated at system
1389fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	initialisation time by the ctl driver which was only used if
1390fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	a CAM target device was created.  This makes a FreeBSD system
1391fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	unusable on 128MB or less of RAM.

139320a011d5SXin LI20130208:

14002dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan20130129:
14012dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed
14022dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch.
14032dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default,
14042dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild
14052d329593SGabor Kovesdan	and install world with the WITH_BSD_PATCH knob set.
14062dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan
1407fe06cae7SBrooks Davis20130121:
1408fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	Due to the use of the new -l option to install(1) during build
1409fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	and install, you must take care not to directly set the INSTALL
1410fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	make variable in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf, or on the
14118c5836c3SEitan Adler	command line.  If you wish to use the -C flag for all installs
1412fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	you may be able to add INSTALL+=-C to /etc/make.conf or
1413fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	/etc/src.conf.
1414fe06cae7SBrooks Davis
1415f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis20130118:
1416f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an
1417f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	argument that is a file or path to append logs to.  In the
1418f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line
1419f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	and the command line contained at least two files and a target
1420f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	directory the first file will have logs appended to it.  The -M
14214cf5de80SGlen Barber	option served little practical purpose in the last decade so its
14224cf5de80SGlen Barber	use is expected to be extremely rare.

14243fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon20121223:
14253fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon	After switching to Clang as the default compiler some users of ZFS
14263fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon	on i386 systems started to experience stack overflow kernel panics.
14273fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon	Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=4' in such configurations.

1429efec959cSJaakko Heinonen20121222:
1430efec959cSJaakko Heinonen	GEOM_LABEL now mangles label names read from file system metadata.
1431efec959cSJaakko Heinonen	Mangling affect labels containing spaces, non-printable characters,
1432efec959cSJaakko Heinonen	'%' or '"'. Device names in /etc/fstab and other places may need to
1433efec959cSJaakko Heinonen	be updated.

143611631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek	By default, only the 10 most recent kernel dumps will be saved.  To
143711631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek	restore the previous behaviour (no limit on the number of kernel dumps
143811631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek	stored in the dump directory) add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:

1442e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson20121201:
1443e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson	With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
14440312d1caSGlen Barber	required during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to
14450312d1caSGlen Barber	add the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
1446e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson
1447b91dc775SHiroki Sato20121117:
1448b91dc775SHiroki Sato	The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now
1449b91dc775SHiroki Sato	filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via
1450b91dc775SHiroki Sato	sysctl or routing socket.  This means the KAME-specific embedded scope
1451b91dc775SHiroki Sato	id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application.
1452b91dc775SHiroki Sato	This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid.
1453b91dc775SHiroki Sato	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025.
1454b91dc775SHiroki Sato
14555b6478b0SBrooks Davis20121105:
14565b6478b0SBrooks Davis	On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default.
14575b6478b0SBrooks Davis	This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang
14585b6478b0SBrooks Davis	and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++,
14595b6478b0SBrooks Davis	and /usr/bin/cpp.  To disable this behavior and revert to building
1460da0e842aSWarner Losh	with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC. Really old versions
1461da0e842aSWarner Losh	of current may need to bootstrap WITHOUT_CLANG first if the clang
1462da0e842aSWarner Losh	build fails (its compatibility window doesn't extend to the 9 stable
1463da0e842aSWarner Losh	branch point).

1465ffdbf9daSAndrey V. Elsukov20121102:
1466a971b547SAndrey V. Elsukov	The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD kernel option has been removed. Its
1467ffdbf9daSAndrey V. Elsukov	functionality now turned on by default.
1468a971b547SAndrey V. Elsukov
14698f134647SGleb Smirnoff20121023:
1470cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	The ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option has been removed and
1471cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	split into SOCKET_SEND_COW and SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP.
1472cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	NB: SOCKET_SEND_COW uses the VM page based copy-on-write
1473cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	mechanism which is not safe and may result in kernel crashes.
1474cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	NB: The SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP mechanism is useless as no current
1475cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	driver supports disposeable external page sized mbuf storage.
1476cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	Proper replacements for both zero-copy mechanisms are under
1477cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	consideration and will eventually lead to complete removal
1478cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	of the two kernel options.

1503d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko20121015:
1504d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	The sdhci driver was split in two parts: sdhci (generic SD Host
1505d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	Controller logic) and sdhci_pci (actual hardware driver).
1506d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	No kernel config modifications are required, but if you
1507d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko	load sdhc as a module you must switch to sdhci_pci instead.
1508d6b3aaf8SOleksandr Tymoshenko
15095fe58019SAttilio Rao20121014:
15105fe58019SAttilio Rao	Import the FUSE kernel and userland support into base system.

1512d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan20121013:
1513d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan	The GNU sort(1) program has been removed since the BSD-licensed
1514d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan	sort(1) has been the default for quite some time and no serious
1515d38ae94bSGabor Kovesdan	problems have been reported.  The corresponding WITH_GNU_SORT

151821d172a3SGleb Smirnoff20121006:
151921d172a3SGleb Smirnoff	The pfil(9) API/ABI for AF_INET family has been changed. Packet
152021d172a3SGleb Smirnoff	filtering modules: pf(4), ipfw(4), ipfilter(4) need to be recompiled
152121d172a3SGleb Smirnoff	with new kernel.

15237b81c83cSAdrian Chadd20121001:
15247b81c83cSAdrian Chadd	The net80211(4) ABI has been changed to allow for improved driver
15257b81c83cSAdrian Chadd	PS-POLL and power-save support.  All wireless drivers need to be

1530d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
153146be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	Add the padlock_rng device in the custom kernel config if
1532d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	needed.  The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
153346be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	device, so the change only affects the custom kernel
1534d65043bcSKonstantin Belousov	configurations.

1547614e3098SMarius Strobl20120727:
1548614e3098SMarius Strobl	The sparc64 ZFS loader has been changed to no longer try to auto-
1549614e3098SMarius Strobl	detect ZFS providers based on diskN aliases but now requires these

15527e003b0aSChristian Brueffer20120712:
15531f13597dSJung-uk Kim	The OpenSSL has been upgraded to 1.0.1c.  Any binaries requiring
15541f13597dSJung-uk Kim	libcrypto.so.6 or libssl.so.6 must be recompiled.  Also, there are
15551f13597dSJung-uk Kim	configuration changes.  Make sure to merge /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.

1563d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan20120628:
1564d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	The sort utility has been replaced with BSD sort.  For now, GNU sort
1565d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	is also available as "gnusort" or the default can be set back to
1566d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	GNU sort by setting WITH_GNU_SORT.  In this case, BSD sort will be
1567d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan	installed as "bsdsort".
1568d22c63acSGabor Kovesdan
15692d9cf57eSMartin Matuska20120611:
15702d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged to -HEAD.
15712d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
15722d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
15732d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
15742d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	pools. The first read-only compatible "feature flag" for ZFS pools
15752d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	is named "com.delphix:async_destroy". For more information
15762d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	read the new zpool-features(5) manual page.

1580d1675e38SJason Evans20120417:
1581d1675e38SJason Evans	The malloc(3) implementation embedded in libc now uses sources imported
1582d1675e38SJason Evans	as contrib/jemalloc.  The most disruptive API change is to
1583d1675e38SJason Evans	/etc/malloc.conf.  If your system has an old-style /etc/malloc.conf,
1584d1675e38SJason Evans	delete it prior to installworld, and optionally re-create it using the
1585d1675e38SJason Evans	new format after rebooting.  See malloc.conf(5) for details
1586d1675e38SJason Evans	(specifically the TUNING section and the "opt.*" entries in the MALLCTL
1587d1675e38SJason Evans	NAMESPACE section).

158984db023eSJuli Mallett20120328:
159084db023eSJuli Mallett	Big-endian MIPS TARGET_ARCH values no longer end in "eb".  mips64eb
159184db023eSJuli Mallett	is now spelled mips64.  mipsn32eb is now spelled mipsn32.  mipseb is
159284db023eSJuli Mallett	now spelled mips.  This is to aid compatibility with third-party
159384db023eSJuli Mallett	software that expects this naming scheme in uname(3).  Little-endian
1594474dbfb7SWarner Losh	settings are unchanged. If you are updating a big-endian mips64 machine
1595474dbfb7SWarner Losh	from before this change, you may need to set MACHINE_ARCH=mips64 in
1596474dbfb7SWarner Losh	your environment before the new build system will recognize your machine.
159784db023eSJuli Mallett
15989c170fd1SAttilio Rao20120306:
15999c170fd1SAttilio Rao	Disable by default the option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE for all supported
16009c170fd1SAttilio Rao	platforms.
16019c170fd1SAttilio Rao
1602c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub20120229:
1603c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	Now unix domain sockets behave "as expected" on	nullfs(5). Previously
1604c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	nullfs(5) did not pass through all behaviours to the underlying layer,
1605c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	as a result if we bound to a socket on the lower layer we could connect
1606c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	only to the lower path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect
1607c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	only to	the upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the
1608c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	lower and the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.
1609c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub
1610ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb20120211:
1611ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	The getifaddrs upgrade path broken with 20111215 has been restored.
1612ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	If you have upgraded in between 20111215 and 20120209 you need to
1613ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	recompile libc again with your kernel.  You still need to recompile
1614ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	world to be able to configure CARP but this restriction already
1615ca1672daSBjoern A. Zeeb	comes from 20111215.

1617e0e0f25bSDoug Barton20120114:
1618e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	The set_rcvar() function has been removed from /etc/rc.subr.  All
1619e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	base and ports rc.d scripts have been updated, so if you have a
1620e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	port installed with a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d you can either
1621e0e0f25bSDoug Barton	hand-edit the rcvar= line, or reinstall the port.
1622e0e0f25bSDoug Barton
16235d482324SDoug Barton	An easy way to handle the mass-update of /etc/rc.d:

162690d82653SAndriy Gapon20120109:
162790d82653SAndriy Gapon	panic(9) now stops other CPUs in the SMP systems, disables interrupts
162890d82653SAndriy Gapon	on the current CPU and prevents other threads from running.
162990d82653SAndriy Gapon	This behavior can be reverted using the kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic
163090d82653SAndriy Gapon	tunable/sysctl.
163190d82653SAndriy Gapon	The new behavior can be incompatible with kern.sync_on_panic.

163308b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff20111215:
163408b68b0eSGleb Smirnoff	The carp(4) facility has been changed significantly. Configuration

1667a24eff53SWarner Losh	General Notes
1668a24eff53SWarner Losh	-------------
1669456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Avoid using make -j when upgrading.  While generally safe, there are
1670456b5dd8SWarner Losh	sometimes problems using -j to upgrade.  If your upgrade fails with
16711733d35cSRuslan Ermilov	-j, please try again without -j.  From time to time in the past there
1672456b5dd8SWarner Losh	have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld.  This
1673456b5dd8SWarner Losh	is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one
1674456b5dd8SWarner Losh	that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when
1675456b5dd8SWarner Losh	several months have passed on the -current branch).
1676a24eff53SWarner Losh
16775780f3baSWarner Losh	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
16785780f3baSWarner Losh	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
1679456b5dd8SWarner Losh	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
1680456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
1681456b5dd8SWarner Losh	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
16825780f3baSWarner Losh
16835ad05815SWarner Losh	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
16845ad05815SWarner Losh	upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
16855ad05815SWarner Losh	do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
16865ad05815SWarner Losh	and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try this
16875ad05815SWarner Losh	approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade.  Since
16885ad05815SWarner Losh	the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgade from
16895ad05815SWarner Losh	anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
16905ad05815SWarner Losh	last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's
16915ad05815SWarner Losh	an exception.
1692081ff8acSDoug Barton
16936eeab389SWarner Losh	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before
1694da0e842aSWarner Losh	installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell
1695da0e842aSWarner Losh	around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your
1696da0e842aSWarner Losh	starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade.
1697da0e842aSWarner Losh
16989c80b8aaSWarner Losh	This file should be read as a log of events. When a later event changes
16999c80b8aaSWarner Losh	information of a prior event, the prior event should not be deleted.
17009c80b8aaSWarner Losh	Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be
17019c80b8aaSWarner Losh	placed in the old entry. Readers of this file should also sanity check
17029c80b8aaSWarner Losh	older entries before relying on them blindly. Authors of new entries
17039c80b8aaSWarner Losh	should write them with this in mind.

17058fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
17068fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
17078fc25799SMartin Matuska	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
17088fc25799SMartin Matuska	these two steps:
17098fc25799SMartin Matuska
17108fc25799SMartin Matuska	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
17118fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
17128fc25799SMartin Matuska
17138fc25799SMartin Matuska	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
17148fc25799SMartin Matuska
17158fc25799SMartin Matuska	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first
171672ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
171772ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0"
17188fc25799SMartin Matuska
17198fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.

1721dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	To build a kernel
1722dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	-----------------
1723ba01eb20SWarner Losh	If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
17241cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
17251cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
17261cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien
17271cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	make kernel-toolchain
1728282e0f01SRuslan Ermilov	make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

17312e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	To test a kernel once
17322e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	---------------------
17332e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
17342e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
17352e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	debugging information) run
17362e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
17372e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	nextboot -k testkernel
17382e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger
1739ba01eb20SWarner Losh	To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1740ba01eb20SWarner Losh	--------------------------------------------------------------
1741456b5dd8SWarner Losh	This assumes you are already running a CURRENT system.  Replace
17420fbd2da9SKen Smith	${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1743456b5dd8SWarner Losh	"arm", "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", "powerpc", "mips", etc).

1806ba26da8eSWarner Losh
1807fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1808fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
1809fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1810fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1811fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
1812ba26da8eSWarner Losh
18131dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
18141dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
18151dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
18161dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
18171dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.
18181dece4a9SWarner Losh
1819134d2e86SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1820134d2e86SWarner Losh	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1821134d2e86SWarner Losh	system on reboot.
1822134d2e86SWarner Losh
1823ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1824ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		fsck -p
1825ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -u /
1826ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -a
18276586253aSWarner Losh		cd src
182847d0d01fSWarner Losh		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
1829f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1830f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1831ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh
1832a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
1833a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
1834a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
1835a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
1836a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
183750e8eca6SDoug Barton	for potential gotchas.  The -U option is also useful to consider.
183850e8eca6SDoug Barton	See mergemaster(8) for more information.
1839a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh
1840835284beSWarner Losh	[5] Usually this step is a noop.  However, from time to time
1841835284beSWarner Losh	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
1842835284beSWarner Losh	step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.  You may need to
1843835284beSWarner Losh	install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make
1844835284beSWarner Losh	install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
184520e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430.
1846835284beSWarner Losh
184794877c06SAlexander Leidinger	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
184894877c06SAlexander Leidinger	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
184994877c06SAlexander Leidinger	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.
185094877c06SAlexander Leidinger
1851456b5dd8SWarner Losh	[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to
1852456b5dd8SWarner Losh	do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in
1853456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your kernel.  Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is
1854456b5dd8SWarner Losh	hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is
1855456b5dd8SWarner Losh	required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.  And so on
1856456b5dd8SWarner Losh	for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7.
1857c74fe6afSWarner Losh
1858e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
1859e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	last time you updated your kernel config file.
1860e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
186121c075eaSWarner Losh	[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
1862e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	cvs prune empty directories.
1863e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1864e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
1865e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
1866e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
1867e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1868e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
1869e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
1870e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	warn if it is improperly defined.
