These features attempt to detect 1469f7bcf3SWarner Losh incorrect use of system primitives, and encourage loud failure 1569f7bcf3SWarner Losh through extra sanity checking and fail stop semantics. They 1669f7bcf3SWarner Losh also substantially impact system performance. If you want to 1769f7bcf3SWarner Losh do performance measurement, benchmarking, and optimization, 1869f7bcf3SWarner Losh you'll want to turn them off. This includes various WITNESS- 1969f7bcf3SWarner Losh related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc debugging flags 2069f7bcf3SWarner Losh in userland, and various verbose features in the kernel. Many 2169f7bcf3SWarner Losh developers choose to disable these features on build machines 22a19f8ddaSDavid E. O'Brien to maximize performance. 231d7e99caSJohn Baldwin 24a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues20061122: 25a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues The following binaries have been disconnected from the build: 26a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues mount_devfs, mount_ext2fs, mount_fdescfs, mount_procfs, mount_linprocfs, 27a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues and mount_std. The functionality of these programs has been 28a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues moved into the mount program. For example, to mount a devfs 29a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues filesystem, instead of using mount_devfs, use: "mount -t devfs". 30a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues This does not affect entries in /etc/fstab, since entries in 31a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues /etc/fstab are always processed with "mount -t fstype". 32a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues 331d7e99caSJohn Baldwin20061113: 341d7e99caSJohn Baldwin Support for PCI Message Signalled Interrupts on i386 and amd64 351d7e99caSJohn Baldwin has been added to the kernel and various drivers will soon be 361d7e99caSJohn Baldwin updated to use MSI when it is available. If there are any problems, 371d7e99caSJohn Baldwin MSI can be disabled completely by setting the 'hw.pci.enable_msi' 381d7e99caSJohn Baldwin and 'hw.pci.enable_msix' tunables to 0 in the loader. 391d7e99caSJohn Baldwin 407c0435b9SKip Macy20061110: 417c0435b9SKip Macy The MUTEX_PROFILING option has been renamed to LOCK_PROFILING. 427c0435b9SKip Macy The lockmgr object layout has been changed as a result of having 437c0435b9SKip Macy a lock_object embedded in it. As a consequence all file system 447c0435b9SKip Macy kernel modules must be re-compiled. The mutex profiling man page 457c0435b9SKip Macy has not yet been updated to reflect this change. 46c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien 47013d6d8cSJohn Birrell20061026: 488460a577SJohn Birrell KSE in the kernel has now been made optional and turned on by 49013d6d8cSJohn Birrell default. Use 'nooption KSE' in your kernel config to turn it 50013d6d8cSJohn Birrell off. All kernel modules *must* be recompiled after this change. 51013d6d8cSJohn Birrell There-after, modules from a KSE kernel should be compatible with 52013d6d8cSJohn Birrell modules from a NOKSE kernel due to the temporary padding fields 53013d6d8cSJohn Birrell added to 'struct proc'. 548460a577SJohn Birrell 5513b3ebf1SBruce M Simpson20060929: 5613b3ebf1SBruce M Simpson mrouted and its utilities have been removed from the base system. 5713b3ebf1SBruce M Simpson 58014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov20060927: 59014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov Some ioctl(2) command codes have changed. Full backward ABI 60014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov compatibility is provided if the "options COMPAT_FREEBSD6" is 61014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov present in the kernel configuration file. Make sure to add 62014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov this option to your kernel config file, or recompile X.Org 63014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov and the rest of ports; otherwise they may refuse to work. 64014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov 65481544f3SBruce M Simpson20060924: 66481544f3SBruce M Simpson tcpslice has been removed from the base system. 67481544f3SBruce M Simpson 6860206edeSRuslan Ermilov20060913: 6960206edeSRuslan Ermilov The sizes of struct tcpcb (and struct xtcpcb) have changed due to 7060206edeSRuslan Ermilov the rewrite of TCP syncookies. Tools like netstat, sockstat, and 7160206edeSRuslan Ermilov systat needs to be rebuilt. 7260206edeSRuslan Ermilov 7350bdd720SSam Leffler20060903: 7450bdd720SSam Leffler libpcap updated to v0.9.4 and tcpdump to v3.9.4 7550bdd720SSam Leffler 763b4109aaSJulian Elischer20060816: 773b4109aaSJulian Elischer The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD_EXTENDED option is gone and the behaviour 785f738ae6SMaxim Konovalov for IPFIREWALL_FORWARD is now as it was before when it was first 793b4109aaSJulian Elischer committed and for years after. The behaviour is now ON. 803b4109aaSJulian Elischer 81c8450a54SJung-uk Kim20060725: 82c8450a54SJung-uk Kim enigma(1)/crypt(1) utility has been changed on 64 bit architectures. 83c8450a54SJung-uk Kim Now it can decrypt files created from different architectures. 84c8450a54SJung-uk Kim Unfortunately, it is no longer able to decrypt a cipher text 85c8450a54SJung-uk Kim generated with an older version on 64 bit architectures. 86c8450a54SJung-uk Kim If you have such a file, you need old utility to decrypt it. 87c8450a54SJung-uk Kim 885d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst20060709: 895d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst The interface version of the i4b kernel part has changed. So 905d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst after updating the kernel sources and compiling a new kernel, 915d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst the i4b user space tools in "/usr/src/usr.sbin/i4b" must also 925d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst be rebuilt, and vice versa. 935d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst 9444a8277bSRink Springer20060627: 9544a8277bSRink Springer The XBOX kernel now defaults to the nfe(4) driver instead of 9644a8277bSRink Springer the nve(4) driver. Please update your configuration 9744a8277bSRink Springer accordingly. 9844a8277bSRink Springer 99647ef1a9SMarius Strobl20060514: 100647ef1a9SMarius Strobl The i386-only lnc(4) driver for the AMD Am7900 LANCE and Am79C9xx 101647ef1a9SMarius Strobl PCnet family of NICs has been removed. The new le(4) driver serves 102647ef1a9SMarius Strobl as an equivalent but cross-platform replacement with the pcn(4) 103647ef1a9SMarius Strobl driver still providing performance-optimized support for the subset 104647ef1a9SMarius Strobl of AMD Am79C971 PCnet-FAST and greater chips as before. 105647ef1a9SMarius Strobl 1069f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas20060511: 1079f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas The machdep.* sysctls and the adjkerntz utility have been 1089f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas modified a bit. The new adjkerntz utility uses the new 1099f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas sysctl names and sysctlbyname() calls, so it may be impossible 1109f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas to run an old /sbin/adjkerntz utility in single-user mode 1119f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas with a new kernel. Replace the `adjkerntz -i' step before 1129f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas `make installworld' with: 1139f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas 1149f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/adjkerntz/adjkerntz -i 1159f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas 1169f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas and proceed as usual with the rest of the installworld-stage 1179f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas steps. Otherwise, you risk installing binaries with their 1189f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas timestamp set several hours in the future, especially if 1199f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas you are running with local time set to GMT+X hours. 1209f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas 121a0a9755eSMax Laier20060412: 122a0a9755eSMax Laier The ip6fw utility has been removed. The behavior provided by 123a0a9755eSMax Laier ip6fw has been in ipfw2 for a good while and the rc.d scripts 1244919094eSChristian Brueffer have been updated to deal with it. There are some rules that 125a0a9755eSMax Laier might not migrate cleanly. Use rc.firewall6 as a template to 126a0a9755eSMax Laier rewrite rules. 127a0a9755eSMax Laier 128ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar20060428: 129ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar The puc(4) driver has been overhauled. The ebus(4) and sbus(4) 130ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar attachments have been removed. Make sure to configure scc(4) 131ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar on sparc64. Note also that by default puc(4) will use uart(4) 132ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar and not sio(4) for serial ports because interrupt handling has 133ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar been optimized for multi-port serial cards and only uart(4) 134ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar implements the interface to support it. 135ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar 136ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar20060330: 137ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar The scc(4) driver replaces puc(4) for Serial Communications 138ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar Controllers (SCCs) like the Siemens SAB82532 and the Zilog 139ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar Z8530. On sparc64, it is advised to add scc(4) to the kernel 140ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar configuration to make sure that the serial ports remain 141ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar functional. 142ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar 143c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov20060317: 144c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov Most world/kernel related NO_* build options changed names. 145c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov New knobs have common prefixes WITHOUT_*/WITH_* (modelled 146c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov after FreeBSD ports) and should be set in /etc/src.conf 147c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov (the src.conf(5) manpage is provided). Full backwards 148c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov compatibility is maintained for the time being though it's 149c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov highly recommended to start moving old options out of the 150c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov system-wide /etc/make.conf file into the new /etc/src.conf 151c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov while also properly renaming them. More conversions will 152c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov likely follow.

The latter can be loaded as the 3dfx_linux.ko 16305ab391fSYaroslav Tykhiy kernel module. Loading it alone should suffice to get 3dfx support 16405ab391fSYaroslav Tykhiy for Linux apps because it will pull in 3dfx.ko and linux.ko through 16505ab391fSYaroslav Tykhiy its dependencies. 166375ce679SYaroslav Tykhiy 16719dc3462SWarner Losh20060204: 16819dc3462SWarner Losh The 'audit' group was added to support the new auditing functionality 16919dc3462SWarner Losh in the base system. Be sure to follow the directions for updating, 17019dc3462SWarner Losh including the requirement to run mergemaster -p. 17119dc3462SWarner Losh 172dc422d87SYaroslav Tykhiy20060201: 173dc422d87SYaroslav Tykhiy The kernel ABI to file system modules was changed on i386. 174dc422d87SYaroslav Tykhiy Please make sure that your kernel and modules are in sync. 175dc422d87SYaroslav Tykhiy 176347daa0fSJulian Elischer20060118: 177347daa0fSJulian Elischer This actually occured some time ago, but installing the kernel 178347daa0fSJulian Elischer now also installs a bunch of symbol files for the kernel modules. 1796aa6311fSPav Lucistnik This increases the size of /boot/kernel to about 67Mbytes. You 180347daa0fSJulian Elischer will need twice this if you will eventually back this up to kernel.old 181347daa0fSJulian Elischer on your next install. 182347daa0fSJulian Elischer If you have a shortage of room in your root partition, you should add 183347daa0fSJulian Elischer -DINSTALL_NODEBUG to your make arguments or add INSTALL_NODEBUG="yes" 184347daa0fSJulian Elischer to your /etc/make.conf. 185347daa0fSJulian Elischer 186cc61a0b1SJason Evans20060113: 187cc61a0b1SJason Evans libc's malloc implementation has been replaced. This change has the 188cc61a0b1SJason Evans potential to uncover application bugs that previously went unnoticed. 189cc61a0b1SJason Evans See the malloc(3) manual page for more details. 190cc61a0b1SJason Evans 1917f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff20060112: 1927f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff The generic netgraph(4) cookie has been changed. If you upgrade 1937f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff kernel passing this point, you also need to upgrade userland 1947f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff and netgraph(4) utilities like ports/net/mpd or ports/net/mpd4. 1957f4faad8SGleb Smirnoff 1966bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin20060106: 19790482dafSJohn Baldwin si(4)'s device files now contain the unit number. 19890482dafSJohn Baldwin Uses of {cua,tty}A[0-9a-f] should be replaced by {cua,tty}A0[0-9a-f]. 19990482dafSJohn Baldwin 20090482dafSJohn Baldwin20060106: 2016bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin The kernel ABI was mostly destroyed due to a change in the size 2026bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin of struct lock_object which is nested in other structures such 2036bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin as mutexes which are nested in all sorts of other structures. 2046bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin Make sure your kernel and modules are in sync. 2056bed9d9eSJohn Baldwin 20652a16db3SAlexander Leidinger20051231: 20752a16db3SAlexander Leidinger The page coloring algorithm in the VM subsystem was converted 20852a16db3SAlexander Leidinger from tuning with kernel options to autotuning. Please remove 20952a16db3SAlexander Leidinger any PQ_* option except PQ_NOOPT from your kernel config. 21052a16db3SAlexander Leidinger 2116dba929aSSam Leffler20051211: 2126dba929aSSam Leffler The net80211-related tools in the tools/tools/ath directory 2136dba929aSSam Leffler have been moved to tools/tools/net80211 and renamed with a 2146dba929aSSam Leffler "wlan" prefix. Scripts that use them should be adjusted 2156dba929aSSam Leffler accordingly. 2166dba929aSSam Leffler 217a0cdeaecSDoug Barton20051202: 218a0cdeaecSDoug Barton Scripts in the local_startup directories (as defined in 219a0cdeaecSDoug Barton /etc/defaults/rc.conf) that have the new rc.d semantics will 220a0cdeaecSDoug Barton now be run as part of the base system rcorder. If there are 221a0cdeaecSDoug Barton errors or problems with one of these local scripts, it could 222a0cdeaecSDoug Barton cause boot problems. If you encounter such problems, boot in 223a0cdeaecSDoug Barton single user mode, remove that script from the */rc.d directory. 224a0cdeaecSDoug Barton Please report the problem to the port's maintainer, and the 225a0cdeaecSDoug Barton freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list. 226a0cdeaecSDoug Barton 227b090e4ceSGleb Smirnoff20051129: 228a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues The nodev mount option was deprecated in RELENG_6 (where it 229a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues was a no-op), and is now unsupported. If you have nodev or dev listed 230a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues in /etc/fstab, remove it, otherwise it will result in a mount error. 231a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues 232a358ddbbSCraig Rodrigues20051129: 233b090e4ceSGleb Smirnoff ABI between ipfw(4) and ipfw(8) has been changed. You need 234b090e4ceSGleb Smirnoff to rebuild ipfw(8) when rebuilding kernel. 235b090e4ceSGleb Smirnoff 236d6b4b3b3SDavid E. O'Brien20051108: 237d6b4b3b3SDavid E. O'Brien rp(4)'s device files now contain the unit number. 238d6b4b3b3SDavid E. O'Brien Uses of {cua,tty}R[0-9a-f] should be replaced by {cua,tty}R0[0-9a-f]. 239d6b4b3b3SDavid E. O'Brien 240a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy20051029: 241a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy /etc/rc.d/ppp-user has been renamed to /etc/rc.d/ppp. 242a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy Its /etc/rc.conf.d configuration file has been `ppp' from 243a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy the beginning, and hence there is no need to touch it. 244a52364d5SYaroslav Tykhiy 245fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy20051014: 246fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy Now most modules get their build-time options from the kernel 247fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy configuration file. A few modules still have fixed options 248fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy due to their non-conformant implementation, but they will be 249fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy corrected eventually. You may need to review the options of 250fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy the modules in use, explicitly specify the non-default options 251fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy in the kernel configuration file, and rebuild the kernel and 252fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy modules afterwards. 253fc18f73dSYaroslav Tykhiy 254114d09d8SGleb Smirnoff20051001: 255114d09d8SGleb Smirnoff kern.polling.enable sysctl MIB is now deprecated. Use ifconfig(8) 256114d09d8SGleb Smirnoff to turn polling(4) on your interfaces. 257114d09d8SGleb Smirnoff 258b6de9e91SMax Laier20050927: 259b6de9e91SMax Laier The old bridge(4) implementation was retired. The new 260b6de9e91SMax Laier if_bridge(4) serves as a full functional replacement. 261b6de9e91SMax Laier 262bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO20050722: 263bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO The ai_addrlen of a struct addrinfo was changed to a socklen_t 264bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO to conform to POSIX-2001. This change broke an ABI 265bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO compatibility on 64 bit architecture. You have to recompile 266bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO userland programs that use getaddrinfo(3) on 64 bit 267bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO architecture. 268bb518265SHajimu UMEMOTO 26999b22782SKen Smith20050711: 27099b22782SKen Smith RELENG_6 branched here. 27199b22782SKen Smith 2727657f595SBrooks Davis20050629: 2737657f595SBrooks Davis The pccard_ifconfig rc.conf variable has been removed and a new 2747657f595SBrooks Davis variable, ifconfig_DEFAULT has been introduced. Unlike 2757657f595SBrooks Davis pccard_ifconfig, ifconfig_DEFAULT applies to ALL interfaces that 2767657f595SBrooks Davis do not have ifconfig_ifn entries rather than just those in 2777657f595SBrooks Davis removable_interfaces. 2787657f595SBrooks Davis 279d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav20050616: 280d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav Some previous versions of PAM have permitted the use of 281d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav non-absolute paths in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/* when referring 282d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav to third party PAM modules in /usr/local/lib. A change has been 283d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav made to require the use of absolute paths in order to avoid 284d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav ambiguity and dependence on library path configuration, which may 285d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav affect existing configurations. 286d33db00cSDag-Erling Smørgrav 287ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis20050610: 288ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis Major changes to network interface API. All drivers must be 289ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis recompiled. Drivers not in the base system will need to be 290ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis updated to the new APIs. 291ad0fdce5SBrooks Davis 292038164a1SGarance A Drosehn20050609: 293038164a1SGarance A Drosehn Changes were made to kinfo_proc in sys/user.h. Please recompile 294038164a1SGarance A Drosehn userland, or commands like `fstat', `pkill', `ps', `top' and `w' 295038164a1SGarance A Drosehn will not behave correctly. 296038164a1SGarance A Drosehn 29731f91694SJoseph Koshy The API and ABI for hwpmc(4) have changed with the addition 29831f91694SJoseph Koshy of sampling support. Please recompile lib/libpmc(3) and 29931f91694SJoseph Koshy usr.sbin/{pmcstat,pmccontrol}. 30031f91694SJoseph Koshy 301a8d23252SBrooks Davis20050606: 302a8d23252SBrooks Davis The OpenBSD dhclient was imported in place of the ISC dhclient 303a8d23252SBrooks Davis and the network interface configuration scripts were updated 304a8d23252SBrooks Davis accordingly. If you use DHCP to configure your interfaces, you 305a8d23252SBrooks Davis must now run devd.

Specifically, if you intend to use WEP encryption 41087c9e370SSam Leffler with an 802.11 device load/configure wlan_wep; if you want to 41187c9e370SSam Leffler use WPA with the ath driver load/configure wlan_tkip, wlan_ccmp, 41287c9e370SSam Leffler and wlan_xauth as required. 41387c9e370SSam Leffler 41471c1c49aSBrian Somers20041213: 41571c1c49aSBrian Somers The behaviour of ppp(8) has changed slightly. If lqr is enabled 41671c1c49aSBrian Somers (``enable lqr''), older versions would revert to LCP ECHO mode on 41771c1c49aSBrian Somers negotiation failure. Now, ``enable echo'' is required for this 41871c1c49aSBrian Somers behaviour. The ppp version number has been bumped to 3.4.2 to 41971c1c49aSBrian Somers reflect the change. 42071c1c49aSBrian Somers 42188046524SSam Leffler20041201: 42288046524SSam Leffler The wlan support has been updated to split the crypto support 42388046524SSam Leffler into separate modules. For static WEP you must configure the 42488046524SSam Leffler wlan_wep module in your system or build and install the module 42588046524SSam Leffler in place where it can be loaded (the kernel will auto-load 42688046524SSam Leffler the module when a wep key is configured). 42788046524SSam Leffler 42888046524SSam Leffler20041201: 42988046524SSam Leffler The ath driver has been updated to split the tx rate control 43088046524SSam Leffler algorithm into a separate module. You need to include either 43188046524SSam Leffler ath_rate_onoe or ath_rate_amrr when configuring the kernel. 43288046524SSam Leffler 43381adddf3SJohn Baldwin20041116: 43481adddf3SJohn Baldwin Support for systems with an 80386 CPU has been removed.

From time to time in the 467a24eff53SWarner Losh past there have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or 468a24eff53SWarner Losh installworld. This is especially true when upgrading between 469a24eff53SWarner Losh "distant" versions (eg one that cross a major release boundary 470a24eff53SWarner Losh or several minor releases, or when several months have passed 471a24eff53SWarner Losh on the -current branch). 472a24eff53SWarner Losh 4735780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 4745780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 4755780f3baSWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. 4765780f3baSWarner Losh To run your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", 4775780f3baSWarner Losh prefix all make commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual 4785780f3baSWarner Losh page for more details. 4795780f3baSWarner Losh 480081ff8acSDoug Barton When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally 481081ff8acSDoug Barton best to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch 482081ff8acSDoug Barton first, then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested 483081ff8acSDoug Barton upgrade path, and has the highest probability of being successful. 484081ff8acSDoug Barton Please try this approach before reporting problems with a major 485081ff8acSDoug Barton version upgrade. 486081ff8acSDoug Barton 487dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 488dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 489ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 4901cf0ef11SDavid E.
