If you have trouble bootstrapping 156eeab389SWarner Loshfrom older versions of FreeBSD, try WITHOUT_CLANG to bootstrap to the tip of 16da0e842aSWarner Loshhead, and then rebuild without this option. The bootstrap process from 17da0e842aSWarner Losholder version of current is a bit fragile. 184f1def68SWarner Losh 198a3b6cc1SKen SmithNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 10.x IS SLOW: 208a3b6cc1SKen Smith FreeBSD 10.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 3299e449f2SJason Evans "ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".) 33efc06131SSam Leffler 34*b40e2b6dSAndrey V. Elsukov20130709: 35*b40e2b6dSAndrey V. Elsukov Most of network statistics structures were changed to be able 36*b40e2b6dSAndrey V. Elsukov keep 64-bits counters. Thus all tools, that work with networking 37*b40e2b6dSAndrey V. Elsukov statistics, must be rebuilded (netstat(1), bsnmpd(1), etc.) 38*b40e2b6dSAndrey V. Elsukov 3903630b54SSimon J. Gerraty20130629: 4003630b54SSimon J. Gerraty Fix targets that run multiple make's to use && rather than ; 4103630b54SSimon J. Gerraty so that subsequent steps depend on success of previous. 4203630b54SSimon J. Gerraty 4303630b54SSimon J. Gerraty NOTE: if building 'universe' with -j* on stable/8 or stable/9 4403630b54SSimon J. Gerraty it would be better to start the build using bmake, to avoid 4503630b54SSimon J. Gerraty overloading the machine. 4603630b54SSimon J. Gerraty 475b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav20130618: 485b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav Fix a bug that allowed a tracing process (e.g. gdb) to write 495b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav to a memory-mapped file in the traced process's address space 505b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav even if neither the traced process nor the tracing process had 515b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav write access to that file. 525b3e0257SDag-Erling Smørgrav 531cbff2a9SEitan Adler20130615: 541cbff2a9SEitan Adler CVS has been removed from the base system. An exact copy 551cbff2a9SEitan Adler of the code is available from the devel/cvs port. 561cbff2a9SEitan Adler 57ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty20130613: 58ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty Some people report the following error after the switch to bmake: 59ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 60ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty make: illegal option -- J 61ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty usage: make [-BPSXeiknpqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable] 62ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty ... 63ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty *** [buildworld] Error code 2 64ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 65ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty this likely due to an old instance of make in 66ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty ${MAKEPATH} (${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/make.${MACHINE}) 67ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty which src/Makefile will use that blindly, if it exists, so if 68ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty you see the above error: 69ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 70ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty rm -rf `make -V MAKEPATH` 71ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 72ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty should resolve it. 73ba10b444SSimon J. Gerraty 74ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty20130516: 75ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty Use bmake by default. 76ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via 77ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty -DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old 78ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE. 79ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty 80ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command 81ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the 82ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty command line. Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer 83ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent 84ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty behavior in parallel build. 85ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty 8632164d53SDag-Erling Smørgrav20130429: 8732164d53SDag-Erling Smørgrav Fix a bug that allows NFS clients to issue READDIR on files. 8832164d53SDag-Erling Smørgrav 89562a9d58SSteven Hartland20130426: 90850163e4SEitan Adler The WITHOUT_IDEA option has been removed because 91850163e4SEitan Adler the IDEA patent expired. 92850163e4SEitan Adler 93850163e4SEitan Adler20130426: 94562a9d58SSteven Hartland The sysctl which controls TRIM support under ZFS has been renamed 95562a9d58SSteven Hartland from vfs.zfs.trim_disable -> vfs.zfs.trim.enabled and has been 96562a9d58SSteven Hartland enabled by default. 97562a9d58SSteven Hartland 9820e0cc0aSBrooks Davis20130425: 9920e0cc0aSBrooks Davis The mergemaster command now uses the default MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX 10020e0cc0aSBrooks Davis rather than creating it's own in the temporary directory in 10120e0cc0aSBrooks Davis order allow access to bootstrapped versions of tools such as 10220e0cc0aSBrooks Davis install and mtree. When upgrading from version of FreeBSD where 10320e0cc0aSBrooks Davis the install command does not support -l, you will need to 10420e0cc0aSBrooks Davis install a new mergemaster command if mergemaster -p is required. 10520e0cc0aSBrooks Davis This can be accomplished with the command (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster 10620e0cc0aSBrooks Davis && make install). 10720e0cc0aSBrooks Davis 1089a95a7caSAlexander Motin20130404: 1099a95a7caSAlexander Motin Legacy ATA stack, disabled and replaced by new CAM-based one since 1109a95a7caSAlexander Motin FreeBSD 9.0, completely removed from the sources. Kernel modules 1119a95a7caSAlexander Motin atadisk and atapi*, user-level tools atacontrol and burncd are 1129a95a7caSAlexander Motin removed. Kernel option `options ATA_CAM` is now permanently enabled 1139a95a7caSAlexander Motin and removed. 1149a95a7caSAlexander Motin 1155ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker20130319: 1165ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK flags have been added to socket(2) 1175ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker and socketpair(2). Software, in particular Kerberos, may 1185ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker automatically detect and use these during building. The resulting 1195ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker binaries will not work on older kernels. 1205ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker 121105421ffSMarius Strobl20130308: 122105421ffSMarius Strobl CTL_DISABLE has also been added to the sparc64 GENERIC (for further 123105421ffSMarius Strobl information, see the respective 20130304 entry). 124105421ffSMarius Strobl 1253a45b478SKenneth D. Merry20130304: 12623d44ab5SDavide Italiano Recent commits to callout(9) changed the size of struct callout, 12723d44ab5SDavide Italiano so the KBI is probably heavily disturbed. Also, some functions 12823d44ab5SDavide Italiano in callout(9)/sleep(9)/sleepqueue(9)/condvar(9) KPIs were replaced 12923d44ab5SDavide Italiano by macros. Every kernel module using it won't load, so rebuild 13023d44ab5SDavide Italiano is requested. 13123d44ab5SDavide Italiano 1323a45b478SKenneth D. Merry The ctl device has been re-enabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64, 1333a45b478SKenneth D. Merry but does not initialize by default (because of the new CTL_DISABLE 1343a45b478SKenneth D. Merry option) to save memory. To re-enable it, remove the CTL_DISABLE 1353a45b478SKenneth D. Merry option from the kernel config file or set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0 1363a45b478SKenneth D. Merry in /boot/loader.conf. 1373a45b478SKenneth D. Merry 138fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd20130301: 139fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd The ctl device has been disabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64. 140fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd This was done due to the extra memory being allocated at system 141fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd initialisation time by the ctl driver which was only used if 142fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd a CAM target device was created. This makes a FreeBSD system 143fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd unusable on 128MB or less of RAM. 144fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd 14520a011d5SXin LI20130208: 14620a011d5SXin LI A new compression method (lz4) has been merged to -HEAD. Please 14720a011d5SXin LI refer to zpool-features(7) for more information. 14820a011d5SXin LI 14920a011d5SXin LI Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information 15020a011d5SXin LI on upgrading boot ZFS pools. 15120a011d5SXin LI 1522dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan20130129: 1532dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed 1542dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch. 1552dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default, 1562dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild 1572d329593SGabor Kovesdan and install world with the WITH_BSD_PATCH knob set. 1582dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan 159fe06cae7SBrooks Davis20130121: 160fe06cae7SBrooks Davis Due to the use of the new -l option to install(1) during build 161fe06cae7SBrooks Davis and install, you must take care not to directly set the INSTALL 162fe06cae7SBrooks Davis make variable in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf, or on the 1638c5836c3SEitan Adler command line. If you wish to use the -C flag for all installs 164fe06cae7SBrooks Davis you may be able to add INSTALL+=-C to /etc/make.conf or 165fe06cae7SBrooks Davis /etc/src.conf. 166fe06cae7SBrooks Davis 167f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis20130118: 168f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an 169f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis argument that is a file or path to append logs to. In the 170f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line 171f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis and the command line contained at least two files and a target 172f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis directory the first file will have logs appended to it. The -M 1734cf5de80SGlen Barber option served little practical purpose in the last decade so its 1744cf5de80SGlen Barber use is expected to be extremely rare. 175f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis 1763fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon20121223: 1773fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon After switching to Clang as the default compiler some users of ZFS 1783fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon on i386 systems started to experience stack overflow kernel panics. 1793fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=4' in such configurations. 1803fea4e6bSAndriy Gapon 181efec959cSJaakko Heinonen20121222: 182efec959cSJaakko Heinonen GEOM_LABEL now mangles label names read from file system metadata. 183efec959cSJaakko Heinonen Mangling affect labels containing spaces, non-printable characters, 184efec959cSJaakko Heinonen '%' or '"'.

To 18911631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek restore the previous behaviour (no limit on the number of kernel dumps 19011631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek stored in the dump directory) add the following line to /etc/rc.conf: 19111631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek 19211631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek savecore_flags="" 19311631ad0SPawel Jakub Dawidek 194e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson20121201: 195e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now 196e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson depended on during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add 197e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook. 198e0fb6dc3SRobert Watson 199b91dc775SHiroki Sato20121117: 200b91dc775SHiroki Sato The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now 201b91dc775SHiroki Sato filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via 202b91dc775SHiroki Sato sysctl or routing socket. This means the KAME-specific embedded scope 203b91dc775SHiroki Sato id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application. 204b91dc775SHiroki Sato This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid. 205b91dc775SHiroki Sato __FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025. 206b91dc775SHiroki Sato 2075b6478b0SBrooks Davis20121105: 2085b6478b0SBrooks Davis On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default. 2095b6478b0SBrooks Davis This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang 2105b6478b0SBrooks Davis and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++, 2115b6478b0SBrooks Davis and /usr/bin/cpp. To disable this behavior and revert to building 212da0e842aSWarner Losh with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC. Really old versions 213da0e842aSWarner Losh of current may need to bootstrap WITHOUT_CLANG first if the clang 214da0e842aSWarner Losh build fails (its compatibility window doesn't extend to the 9 stable 215da0e842aSWarner Losh branch point). 2165b6478b0SBrooks Davis 217ffdbf9daSAndrey V. Elsukov20121102: 218a971b547SAndrey V. Elsukov The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD kernel option has been removed. Its 219ffdbf9daSAndrey V. Elsukov functionality now turned on by default. 220a971b547SAndrey V. Elsukov 2218f134647SGleb Smirnoff20121023: 222cb69178dSAndre Oppermann The ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option has been removed and 223cb69178dSAndre Oppermann split into SOCKET_SEND_COW and SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP. 224cb69178dSAndre Oppermann NB: SOCKET_SEND_COW uses the VM page based copy-on-write 225cb69178dSAndre Oppermann mechanism which is not safe and may result in kernel crashes. 226cb69178dSAndre Oppermann NB: The SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP mechanism is useless as no current 227cb69178dSAndre Oppermann driver supports disposeable external page sized mbuf storage. 228cb69178dSAndre Oppermann Proper replacements for both zero-copy mechanisms are under 229cb69178dSAndre Oppermann consideration and will eventually lead to complete removal 230cb69178dSAndre Oppermann of the two kernel options. 231cb69178dSAndre Oppermann 232cb69178dSAndre Oppermann20121023: 2338f134647SGleb Smirnoff The IPv4 network stack has been converted to network byte 2348f134647SGleb Smirnoff order.

This concept enables forward 3252d9cf57eSMartin Matuska compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS 3262d9cf57eSMartin Matuska pools. The first read-only compatible "feature flag" for ZFS pools 3272d9cf57eSMartin Matuska is named "com.delphix:async_destroy".

The most disruptive API change is to 335d1675e38SJason Evans /etc/malloc.conf. If your system has an old-style /etc/malloc.conf, 336d1675e38SJason Evans delete it prior to installworld, and optionally re-create it using the 337d1675e38SJason Evans new format after rebooting. See malloc.conf(5) for details 338d1675e38SJason Evans (specifically the TUNING section and the "opt.*" entries in the MALLCTL 339d1675e38SJason Evans NAMESPACE section). 340d1675e38SJason Evans 34184db023eSJuli Mallett20120328: 34284db023eSJuli Mallett Big-endian MIPS TARGET_ARCH values no longer end in "eb". mips64eb 34384db023eSJuli Mallett is now spelled mips64. mipsn32eb is now spelled mipsn32. mipseb is 34484db023eSJuli Mallett now spelled mips. This is to aid compatibility with third-party 34584db023eSJuli Mallett software that expects this naming scheme in uname(3). Little-endian 346474dbfb7SWarner Losh settings are unchanged. If you are updating a big-endian mips64 machine 347474dbfb7SWarner Losh from before this change, you may need to set MACHINE_ARCH=mips64 in 348474dbfb7SWarner Losh your environment before the new build system will recognize your machine. 34984db023eSJuli Mallett 3509c170fd1SAttilio Rao20120306: 3519c170fd1SAttilio Rao Disable by default the option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE for all supported 3529c170fd1SAttilio Rao platforms. 3539c170fd1SAttilio Rao 354c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub20120229: 355c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub Now unix domain sockets behave "as expected" on nullfs(5). Previously 356c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub nullfs(5) did not pass through all behaviours to the underlying layer, 357c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub as a result if we bound to a socket on the lower layer we could connect 358c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub only to the lower path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect 359c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub only to the upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the 360c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub lower and the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to. 361c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub 362ca1672daSBjoern A.

The 4224d30adc4SRick Macklem main effect of this is a change to the NFS server file handles 4234d30adc4SRick Macklem for file systems that use vfc_typenum in their fsid, such as ZFS. 4244d30adc4SRick Macklem It will, however, prevent vfc_typenum from changing when file 4254d30adc4SRick Macklem systems are loaded in a different order for subsequent reboots. 4264d30adc4SRick Macklem To disable this, you can set vfs.typenumhash=0 in /boot/loader.conf 4274d30adc4SRick Macklem until you are ready to remount all NFS clients after a reboot. 4284d30adc4SRick Macklem 4297596eb48SKonstantin Belousov20110828: 4307596eb48SKonstantin Belousov Bump the shared library version numbers for libraries that 4317596eb48SKonstantin Belousov do not use symbol versioning, have changed the ABI compared 4327596eb48SKonstantin Belousov to stable/8 and which shared library version was not bumped. 4337596eb48SKonstantin Belousov Done as part of 9.0-RELEASE cycle. 4347596eb48SKonstantin Belousov 43574d0c46dSRobert Watson20110815: 43674d0c46dSRobert Watson During the merge of Capsicum features, the fget(9) KPI was modified. 43774d0c46dSRobert Watson This may require the rebuilding of out-of-tree device drivers -- 43874d0c46dSRobert Watson issues have been reported specifically with the nVidia device driver. 43974d0c46dSRobert Watson __FreeBSD_version is bumped to 900041. 44074d0c46dSRobert Watson 44174d0c46dSRobert Watson Also, there is a period between 20110811 and 20110814 where the 44274d0c46dSRobert Watson special devices /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} did not work correctly. 44374d0c46dSRobert Watson Building world from a kernel during that window may not work. 44474d0c46dSRobert Watson 445e0bfbfceSBjoern A.

The new client is compiled into the 5044309e17aSRick Macklem kernel with "options NFSCL" and this is needed for diskless root 5054309e17aSRick Macklem file systems. The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use 5064309e17aSRick Macklem NFSCL and NFSD (the new server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER. 5074309e17aSRick Macklem To use the regular/old client, you can "mount -t oldnfs ...". For 5084309e17aSRick Macklem a diskless root file system, you must also include a line like: 5094309e17aSRick Macklem 5104309e17aSRick Macklem vfs.root.mountfrom="oldnfs:" 5114309e17aSRick Macklem 5124309e17aSRick Macklem in the boot/loader.conf on the root fs on the NFS server to make 5134309e17aSRick Macklem a diskless root fs use the old client. 5144309e17aSRick Macklem 51597b53e36SAlexander Motin20110424: 51697b53e36SAlexander Motin The GENERIC kernels for all architectures now default to the new 51797b53e36SAlexander Motin CAM-based ATA stack. It means that all legacy ATA drivers were 51897b53e36SAlexander Motin removed and replaced by respective CAM drivers. If you are using 51997b53e36SAlexander Motin ATA device names in /etc/fstab or other places, make sure to update 52097b53e36SAlexander Motin them respectively (adX -> adaY, acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY, 521ddfddf12SAlexander Motin where 'Y's are the sequential numbers starting from zero for each type 522ddfddf12SAlexander Motin in order of detection, unless configured otherwise with tunables, 5230d307e09SAlexander Motin see cam(4)). There will be symbolic links created in /dev/ to map 5240d307e09SAlexander Motin old adX devices to the respective adaY. They should provide basic 5250d307e09SAlexander Motin compatibility for file systems mounting in most cases, but they do 5260d307e09SAlexander Motin not support old user-level APIs and do not have respective providers 5270d307e09SAlexander Motin in GEOM. Consider using updated management tools with new device names. 5280d307e09SAlexander Motin 5290d307e09SAlexander Motin It is possible to load devices ahci, ata, siis and mvs as modules, 5300d307e09SAlexander Motin but option ATA_CAM should remain in kernel configuration to make ata 5310d307e09SAlexander Motin module work as CAM driver supporting legacy ATA controllers. Device ata 5320d307e09SAlexander Motin still can be used in modular fashion (atacore + ...). Modules atadisk 5330d307e09SAlexander Motin and atapi* are not used and won't affect operation in ATA_CAM mode. 5345d4ac622SAlexander Motin Note that to use CAM-based ATA kernel should include CAM devices 5355d4ac622SAlexander Motin scbus, pass, da (or explicitly ada), cd and optionally others. All of 5365d4ac622SAlexander Motin them are parts of the cam module. 53797b53e36SAlexander Motin 53897b53e36SAlexander Motin ataraid(4) functionality is now supported by the RAID GEOM class. 53997b53e36SAlexander Motin To use it you can load geom_raid kernel module and use graid(8) tool 54097b53e36SAlexander Motin for management.

See the ChangeLog 590ce8fb931SDimitry Andric file in contrib/binutils for the full details. 591ce8fb931SDimitry Andric 592ce8fb931SDimitry Andric20110218: 59376f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan IPsec's HMAC_SHA256-512 support has been fixed to be RFC4868 59476f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan compliant, and will now use half of hash for authentication. 59576f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan This will break interoperability with all stacks (including all 59676f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan actual FreeBSD versions) who implement 59776f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan draft-ietf-ipsec-ciph-sha-256-00 (they use 96 bits of hash for 59876f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan authentication). 59976f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan The only workaround with such peers is to use another HMAC 60076f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan algorithm for IPsec ("phase 2") authentication. 60176f9415bSVANHULLEBUS Yvan 60213434232SMatthew D Fleming20110207: 60313434232SMatthew D Fleming Remove the uio_yield prototype and symbol. This function has 60413434232SMatthew D Fleming been misnamed since it was introduced and should not be 60513434232SMatthew D Fleming globally exposed with this name. The equivalent functionality 60613434232SMatthew D Fleming is now available using kern_yield(curthread->td_user_pri). 60713434232SMatthew D Fleming The function remains undocumented. 60813434232SMatthew D Fleming 6094c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn20110112: 6101eae8811SMatthew D Fleming A SYSCTL_[ADD_]UQUAD was added for unsigned uint64_t pointers, 6111eae8811SMatthew D Fleming symmetric with the existing SYSCTL_[ADD_]QUAD. Type checking 6121eae8811SMatthew D Fleming for scalar sysctls is defined but disabled. Code that needs 6131eae8811SMatthew D Fleming UQUAD to pass the type checking that must compile on older 6141eae8811SMatthew D Fleming systems where the define is not present can check against 6151eae8811SMatthew D Fleming __FreeBSD_version >= 900030. 6161eae8811SMatthew D Fleming 6174c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn The system dialog(1) has been replaced with a new version previously 6184c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn in ports as devel/cdialog. dialog(1) is mostly command-line compatible 6194c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn with the previous version, but the libdialog associated with it has 6204c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn a largely incompatible API. As such, the original version of libdialog 6214c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn will be kept temporarily as libodialog, until its base system consumers 6224c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn are replaced or updated. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900030. 6234c8945a0SNathan Whitehorn 624e4f64803SWarner Losh20110103: 625e4f64803SWarner Losh If you are trying to run make universe on a -stable system, and you get 626e4f64803SWarner Losh the following warning: 6277b57aa33SRebecca Cran "Makefile", line 356: "Target architecture for i386/conf/GENERIC 6287b57aa33SRebecca Cran unknown. config(8) likely too old." 629e4f64803SWarner Losh or something similar to it, then you must upgrade your -stable system 630e4f64803SWarner Losh to 8.2-Release or newer (really, any time after r210146 7/15/2010 in 631e4f64803SWarner Losh stable/8) or build the config from the latest stable/8 branch and 632e4f64803SWarner Losh install it on your system. 633e4f64803SWarner Losh 634e4f64803SWarner Losh Prior to this date, building a current universe on 8-stable system from 635e4f64803SWarner Losh between 7/15/2010 and 1/2/2011 would result in a weird shell parsing 6367b57aa33SRebecca Cran error in the first kernel build phase. A new config on those old 6377b57aa33SRebecca Cran systems will fix that problem for older versions of -current. 638e4f64803SWarner Losh 63939bc9de5SLawrence Stewart20101228: 64039bc9de5SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has been modified to allow Khelp modules to interact with 64139bc9de5SLawrence Stewart it via helper hook points and store per-connection data in the TCP 64239bc9de5SLawrence Stewart control block. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900029. User space tools that 64339bc9de5SLawrence Stewart rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to 64439bc9de5SLawrence Stewart be recompiled. 64539bc9de5SLawrence Stewart 646efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl20101114: 647efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control support has been 648efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl added to mii(4) and bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along 649efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy() have been converted 650efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl to take advantage of it instead of using custom implementations. This 651efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl means that these drivers now no longer unconditionally advertise 652efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl support for flow control but only do so if flow control is a selected 653efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl media option. This was implemented in the generic support that way in 654efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl order to allow flow control to be switched on and off via ifconfig(8) 655efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with the PHY specific default to typically off in order to protect 656efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl from unwanted effects. Consequently, if you used flow control with 657efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl one of the above mentioned drivers you now need to explicitly enable 658efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl it, for example via: 659efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media auto mediaopt flowcontrol 660efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 661efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Along with the above mentioned changes generic support for setting 662efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 1000baseT master mode also has been added and brgphy(4), ciphy(4), 663efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy(4) have been converted to take 664efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl advantage of it. This means that these drivers now no longer take the 665efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl link0 parameter for selecting master mode but the master media option 666efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl has to be used instead, for example like in the following: 667efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master 668efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 669efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Selection of master mode now is also available with all other PHY 670efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl drivers supporting 1000baseT. 671efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 672dbc42409SLawrence Stewart20101111: 673dbc42409SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has received a significant update to add support for 674dbc42409SLawrence Stewart modularised congestion control and generally improve the clarity of 675dbc42409SLawrence Stewart congestion control decisions. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025. User 676dbc42409SLawrence Stewart space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. 677dbc42409SLawrence Stewart sockstat) need to be recompiled. 678dbc42409SLawrence Stewart 679fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow20101002: 680fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow The man(1) utility has been replaced by a new version that no longer 681fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow uses /etc/manpath.config.

A value 703d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato "ipv4_prefer", "ipv6_prefer" or "AUTO" can be specified. The 704d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato default is "AUTO". 705d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 706d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces specifies whether IFDISABLED 707d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato flag (see an entry of 20090926) is set on an interface with no 708d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line. The default is "NO" for 709d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato security reason. If you want IPv6 link-local address on all 710d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato interfaces by default, set this to "YES". 711d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 712d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The old ipv6_prefer="YES" is equivalent to 713d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" and 714d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer". 715d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 716d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato20100913: 717d69eb520SRui Paulo DTrace has grown support for userland tracing. Due to this, DTrace is 718d69eb520SRui Paulo now i386 and amd64 only. 719d69eb520SRui Paulo dtruss(1) is now installed by default on those systems and a new 720d69eb520SRui Paulo kernel module is needed for userland tracing: fasttrap. 721d69eb520SRui Paulo No changes to your kernel config file are necessary to enable 722d69eb520SRui Paulo userland tracing, but you might consider adding 'STRIP=' and 723d69eb520SRui Paulo 'CFLAGS+=-fno-omit-frame-pointer' to your make.conf if you want 724d69eb520SRui Paulo to have informative userland stack traces in DTrace (ustack). 725d69eb520SRui Paulo 72640650455SRui Paulo20100725: 72740650455SRui Paulo The acpi_aiboost(4) driver has been removed in favor of the new 72840650455SRui Paulo aibs(4) driver.

It is completely BSD licensed, highly GNU-compatible, uses 7334dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan less memory than its GNU counterpart and has a small codebase. 7344dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan However, it is slower than its GNU counterpart, which is mostly 7354dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan noticeable for larger searches, for smaller ones it is measurable 7364dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan but not significant. The reason is complex, the most important factor 7374dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan is that we lack a modern and efficient regex library and GNU 7384dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan overcomes this by optimizing the searches internally. Future work 7394dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan on improving the regex performance is planned, for the meantime, 7404dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan users that need better performance, can build GNU grep instead by 7414dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan setting the WITH_GNU_GREP knob. 7422965a453SKip Macy 7438fc25799SMartin Matuska20100713: 744c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn Due to the import of powerpc64 support, all existing powerpc kernel 745c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn configuration files must be updated with a machine directive like this: 746c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn machine powerpc powerpc 747c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 748c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn In addition, an updated config(8) is required to build powerpc kernels 749c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn after this change. 750c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 751c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn20100713: 7528fc25799SMartin Matuska A new version of ZFS (version 15) has been merged to -HEAD. 7538fc25799SMartin Matuska This version uses a python library for the following subcommands: 7548fc25799SMartin Matuska zfs allow, zfs unallow, zfs groupspace, zfs userspace. 7558fc25799SMartin Matuska For full functionality of these commands the following port must 7568fc25799SMartin Matuska be installed: sysutils/py-zfs 7578fc25799SMartin Matuska 7582965a453SKip Macy20100429: 7592965a453SKip Macy 'vm_page's are now hashed by physical address to an array of mutexes. 7602965a453SKip Macy Currently this is only used to serialize access to hold_count. Over 7612965a453SKip Macy time the page queue mutex will be peeled away. This changes the size 7622965a453SKip Macy of pmap on every architecture. And requires all callers of vm_page_hold 7632965a453SKip Macy and vm_page_unhold to be updated. 7642965a453SKip Macy 76521edb039SAlexander Leidinger20100402: 76621edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there 76721edb039SAlexander Leidinger are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also 76821edb039SAlexander Leidinger affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the 76921edb039SAlexander Leidinger compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions 77021edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF=yes"). 77121edb039SAlexander Leidinger When WITH_CTF was specified there before this was silently ignored, 77221edb039SAlexander Leidinger so make sure that WITH_CTF is not used in places which could lead 77321edb039SAlexander Leidinger to unwanted behavior. 77421edb039SAlexander Leidinger 775841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn20100311: 776841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn The kernel option COMPAT_IA32 has been replaced with COMPAT_FREEBSD32 777841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn to allow 32-bit compatibility on non-x86 platforms. All kernel 778841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn configurations on amd64 and ia64 platforms using these options must 779841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn be modified accordingly. 780841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn 781279d8efeSEd Schouten20100113: 782279d8efeSEd Schouten The utmp user accounting database has been replaced with utmpx, 783279d8efeSEd Schouten the user accounting interface standardized by POSIX. 784279d8efeSEd Schouten Unfortunately the semantics of utmp and utmpx don't match, 785279d8efeSEd Schouten making it practically impossible to support both interfaces. 786279d8efeSEd Schouten The user accounting database is used by tools like finger(1), 787279d8efeSEd Schouten last(1), talk(1), w(1) and ac(8). 788279d8efeSEd Schouten 789279d8efeSEd Schouten All applications in the base system use utmpx. This means only 790279d8efeSEd Schouten local binaries (e.g. from the ports tree) may still use these 791279d8efeSEd Schouten utmp database files. These applications must be rebuilt to make 792279d8efeSEd Schouten use of utmpx. 793279d8efeSEd Schouten 794279d8efeSEd Schouten After the system has been upgraded, it is safe to remove the old 795279d8efeSEd Schouten log files (/var/run/utmp, /var/log/lastlog and /var/log/wtmp*), 7965ab7f1fcSEd Schouten assuming their contents is of no importance anymore. Old wtmp 7975ab7f1fcSEd Schouten databases can only be used by last(1) and ac(8) after they have 7985ab7f1fcSEd Schouten been converted to the new format using wtmpcvt(1). 799279d8efeSEd Schouten 800f7829d0dSAttilio Rao20100108: 801f7829d0dSAttilio Rao Introduce the kernel thread "deadlock resolver" (which can be enabled 802f7829d0dSAttilio Rao via the DEADLKRES option, see NOTES for more details) and the 803f7829d0dSAttilio Rao sleepq_type() function for sleepqueues. 804f7829d0dSAttilio Rao 805f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO20091202: 806f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO The rc.firewall and rc.firewall6 were unified, and 807f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO rc.firewall6 and rc.d/ip6fw were removed. 808f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO According to the removal of rc.d/ip6fw, ipv6_firewall_* rc 809f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO variables are obsoleted.

The changes are the following: 8562e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8572e77c5abSHiroki Sato 1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF 8582e77c5abSHiroki Sato for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used. 8592e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head. 8602e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8612e77c5abSHiroki Sato Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not 8622e77c5abSHiroki Sato understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases. 8632e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8642e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but 8652e77c5abSHiroki Sato they are obsolete. 8662e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8672e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and 8682e77c5abSHiroki Sato "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead. 8692e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8702e77c5abSHiroki Sato If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and 8712e77c5abSHiroki Sato all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the 8722e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility. 8732e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8742e77c5abSHiroki Sato 3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6 8752e77c5abSHiroki Sato functionality of interfaces with no corresponding 8762e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag, 8772e77c5abSHiroki Sato and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8) 8782e77c5abSHiroki Sato is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details). 8792e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the 8802e77c5abSHiroki Sato disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by 8812e77c5abSHiroki Sato using ifconfig(8) like: 8822e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8832e77c5abSHiroki Sato ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled 8842e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8852e77c5abSHiroki Sato If YES, the default address selection policy is set as 8862e77c5abSHiroki Sato IPv6-preferred. 8872e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8882e77c5abSHiroki Sato The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO. 8892e77c5abSHiroki Sato 8902e77c5abSHiroki Sato 4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages, 8912e77c5abSHiroki Sato define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6.

As long as no more than 16 groups per process are used, 981456b5dd8SWarner Losh no changes should be visible. When more than 16 groups are used, old 982456b5dd8SWarner Losh binaries may fail if they call getgroups() or getgrouplist() with 983456b5dd8SWarner Losh statically sized storage. Recompiling will work around this, but 984456b5dd8SWarner Losh applications should be modified to use dynamically allocated storage 985456b5dd8SWarner Losh for group arrays as POSIX.1-2008 does not cap an implementation's 986456b5dd8SWarner Losh number of supported groups at NGROUPS_MAX+1 as previous versions did. 987838d9858SBrooks Davis 988456b5dd8SWarner Losh NFS and portalfs mounts may also be affected as the list of groups is 989456b5dd8SWarner Losh truncated to 16. Users of NFS who use more than 16 groups, should 990456b5dd8SWarner Losh take care that negative group permissions are not used on the exported 991456b5dd8SWarner Losh file systems as they will not be reliable unless a GSSAPI based 992456b5dd8SWarner Losh authentication method is used. 993838d9858SBrooks Davis 994651175c9SAttilio Rao20090616: 995456b5dd8SWarner Losh The compiling option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS has been introduced.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 108433cde130SBruce M Simpson The implementation of SSM within FreeBSD's IPv6 stack closely 108533cde130SBruce M Simpson follows the IPv4 implementation. 108633cde130SBruce M Simpson 108733cde130SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers: 108833cde130SBruce M Simpson 108933cde130SBruce M Simpson * The most important changes are that the ip6_output() and 109033cde130SBruce M Simpson ip6_input() paths no longer take the IN6_MULTI_LOCK, 109133cde130SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 109233cde130SBruce M Simpson 109333cde130SBruce M Simpson * As with the changes to the IPv4 stack to support SSM, filtering 109433cde130SBruce M Simpson of inbound multicast traffic must now be performed by transport 109533cde130SBruce M Simpson protocols within the IPv6 stack. This does not apply to TCP and 109633cde130SBruce M Simpson SCTP, however, it does apply to UDP in IPv6 and raw IPv6. 109733cde130SBruce M Simpson 109833cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KPIs used by IPv6 multicast are similar to those used by 109933cde130SBruce M Simpson the IPv4 stack, with the following differences: 110033cde130SBruce M Simpson * im6o_mc_filter() is analogous to imo_multicast_filter(). 110133cde130SBruce M Simpson * The legacy KAME entry points in6_joingroup and in6_leavegroup() 110233cde130SBruce M Simpson are shimmed to in6_mc_join() and in6_mc_leave() respectively. 110333cde130SBruce M Simpson * IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI() has been deprecated and removed. 110433cde130SBruce M Simpson * IPv6 relies on MLD for the DAD mechanism. KAME's internal KPIs 110533cde130SBruce M Simpson for MLDv1 have an additional 'timer' argument which is used to 110633cde130SBruce M Simpson jitter the initial membership report for the solicited-node 110733cde130SBruce M Simpson multicast membership on-link. 110833cde130SBruce M Simpson * This is not strictly needed for MLDv2, which already jitters 110933cde130SBruce M Simpson its report transmissions. However, the 'timer' argument is 111033cde130SBruce M Simpson preserved in case MLDv1 is active on the interface. 111133cde130SBruce M Simpson 111233cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KAME linked-list based IPv6 membership implementation has 111333cde130SBruce M Simpson been refactored to use a vector similar to that used by the IPv4 111433cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 111533cde130SBruce M Simpson Code which maintains a list of its own multicast memberships 111633cde130SBruce M Simpson internally, e.g. carp, has been updated to reflect the new 111733cde130SBruce M Simpson semantics. 111833cde130SBruce M Simpson 111933cde130SBruce M Simpson * There is a known Lock Order Reversal (LOR) due to in6_setscope() 112033cde130SBruce M Simpson acquiring the IF_AFDATA_LOCK and being called within ip6_output(). 112133cde130SBruce M Simpson Whilst MLDv2 tries to avoid this otherwise benign LOR, it is an 112233cde130SBruce M Simpson implementation constraint which needs to be addressed in HEAD. 112333cde130SBruce M Simpson 112433cde130SBruce M Simpson For application developers: 112533cde130SBruce M Simpson 112633cde130SBruce M Simpson * The changes are broadly similar to those made for the IPv4 112733cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 112833cde130SBruce M Simpson 112933cde130SBruce M Simpson * The use of IPv4 and IPv6 multicast socket options on the same 113033cde130SBruce M Simpson socket, using mapped addresses, HAS NOT been tested or supported. 113133cde130SBruce M Simpson 113233cde130SBruce M Simpson * There are a number of issues with the implementation of various 113333cde130SBruce M Simpson IPv6 multicast APIs which need to be resolved in the API surface 113433cde130SBruce M Simpson before the implementation is fully compatible with KAME userland 113533cde130SBruce M Simpson use, and these are mostly to do with interface index treatment. 113633cde130SBruce M Simpson 113733cde130SBruce M Simpson * The literature available discusses the use of either the delta / ASM 113833cde130SBruce M Simpson API with setsockopt(2)/getsockopt(2), or the full-state / ASM API 113933cde130SBruce M Simpson using setsourcefilter(3)/getsourcefilter(3). For more information 114033cde130SBruce M Simpson please refer to RFC 3768, 'Socket Interface Extensions for 114133cde130SBruce M Simpson Multicast Source Filters'. 114233cde130SBruce M Simpson 114333cde130SBruce M Simpson * Applications which use the published RFC 3678 APIs should be fine. 114433cde130SBruce M Simpson 114533cde130SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators: 114633cde130SBruce M Simpson 114733cde130SBruce M Simpson * The mtest(8) utility has been refactored to support IPv6, in 114833cde130SBruce M Simpson addition to IPv4. Interface addresses are no longer accepted 114933cde130SBruce M Simpson as arguments, their names must be used instead.

It 12149a07b548SIvan Voras introduces some changes: 12159a07b548SIvan Voras 12169a07b548SIvan Voras MSDOS/EBR: the devices created from MSDOS extended partition entries 12179a07b548SIvan Voras (EBR) can be named differently than with GEOM_MBR and are now symlinks 12189a07b548SIvan Voras to devices with offset-based names. fstabs may need to be modified. 12199a07b548SIvan Voras 12209a07b548SIvan Voras BSD: the "geometry does not match label" warning is harmless in most 12219a07b548SIvan Voras cases but it points to problems in file system misalignment with 12229a07b548SIvan Voras disk geometry. The "c" partition is now implicit, covers the whole 12239a07b548SIvan Voras top-level drive and cannot be (mis)used by users. 12249a07b548SIvan Voras 12259a07b548SIvan Voras General: Kernel dumps are now not allowed to be written to devices 12269a07b548SIvan Voras whose partition types indicate they are meant to be used for file 12279a07b548SIvan Voras systems (or, in case of MSDOS partitions, as something else than 12289a07b548SIvan Voras the "386BSD" type). 12299a07b548SIvan Voras 12309a07b548SIvan Voras Most of these changes date approximately from 200812. 1231781d043cSIvan Voras 1232443fc317SBruce M Simpson20090319: 12332b78d306SAndrew Thompson The uscanner(4) driver has been removed from the kernel.

In particular, if_ar, if_sr, and network device 12481df14375SRobert Watson drivers from the old (legacy) USB stack can no longer be built or 12491df14375SRobert Watson used. 12501df14375SRobert Watson 1251e667034dSRui Paulo20090313: 12527e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan POSIX.1 Native Language Support (NLS) has been enabled in libc and 12537e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan a bunch of new language catalog files have also been added. 12547e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan This means that some common libc messages are now localized and 12557e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan they depend on the LC_MESSAGES environmental variable. 12567e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan 12577e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan20090313: 1258e667034dSRui Paulo The k8temp(4) driver has been renamed to amdtemp(4) since 12598fb1e038SDavid E.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 1264d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1265d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers, the most important changes are that the 1266d10910e6SBruce M Simpson ip_output() and ip_input() paths no longer take the IN_MULTI_LOCK(), 1267d10910e6SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 1268d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1269d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transport protocols (UDP, Raw IP) are now responsible for filtering 1270d10910e6SBruce M Simpson inbound multicast traffic according to group membership and source 1271d10910e6SBruce M Simpson filters. The imo_multicast_filter() KPI exists for this purpose. 1272d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transports which do not use multicast (SCTP, TCP) already reject 1273d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast by default. Forwarding and receive performance may improve 1274d10910e6SBruce M Simpson as a mutex acquisition is no longer needed in the ip_input() 1275d10910e6SBruce M Simpson low-level input path. in_addmulti() and in_delmulti() are shimmed 1276d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to new KPIs which exist to support SSM in-kernel. 1277d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1278d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For application developers, it is recommended that loopback of 1279d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast datagrams be disabled for best performance, as this 1280d10910e6SBruce M Simpson will still cause the lock to be taken for each looped-back 1281d10910e6SBruce M Simpson datagram transmission. The net.inet.ip.mcast.loop sysctl may 1282d10910e6SBruce M Simpson be tuned to 0 to disable loopback by default; it defaults to 1 1283d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. 1284d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1285d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators, to obtain best performance with 1286d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast reception and multiple groups, it is always recommended 1287d10910e6SBruce M Simpson that a card with a suitably precise hash filter is used. Hash 1288d10910e6SBruce M Simpson collisions will still result in the lock being taken within the 1289d10910e6SBruce M Simpson transport protocol input path to check group membership. 1290d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1291d10910e6SBruce M Simpson If deploying FreeBSD in an environment with IGMP snooping switches, 1292d10910e6SBruce M Simpson it is recommended that the net.inet.igmp.sendlocal sysctl remain 1293d10910e6SBruce M Simpson enabled; this forces 224.0.0.0/24 group membership to be announced 1294d10910e6SBruce M Simpson via IGMP. 1295d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1296d10910e6SBruce M Simpson The size of 'struct igmpstat' has changed; netstat needs to be 1297d10910e6SBruce M Simpson recompiled to reflect this. 1298d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800070. 1299d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 1300d10910e6SBruce M Simpson20090309: 1301a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson libusb20.so.1 is now installed as libusb.so.1 and the ports system 1302a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson updated to use it.

With this 1496eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav upgrade, we've switched to the vendor's default of RSA over 1497eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav DSA. This may cause upgraded clients to warn about unknown 1498eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav host keys even for previously known hosts. Users should 1499eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav follow the usual procedure for verifying host keys before 1500eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav accepting the RSA key. 1501eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav 1502eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav This can be circumvented by setting the "HostKeyAlgorithms" 1503eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav option to "ssh-dss,ssh-rsa" in ~/.ssh/config or on the ssh 1504eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav command line. 1505eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav 1506737d990aSXin LI Please note that the sequence of keys offered for 1507737d990aSXin LI authentication has been changed as well.

This means uart(4) is now the 1514f4d811f0SEd Schouten default serial port driver on those platforms as well. 1515f4d811f0SEd Schouten 1516f4d811f0SEd Schouten To prevent collisions with the sio(4) driver, the uart(4) driver 1517f4d811f0SEd Schouten uses different names for its device nodes. This means the 1518f4d811f0SEd Schouten onboard serial port will now most likely be called "ttyu0" 1519f4d811f0SEd Schouten instead of "ttyd0". You may need to reconfigure applications to 1520f4d811f0SEd Schouten use the new device names. 1521f4d811f0SEd Schouten 1522db96ec0bSEd Schouten When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update 1523db96ec0bSEd Schouten /boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel. 1524db96ec0bSEd Schouten If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints 1525db96ec0bSEd Schouten at the loader prompt: 1526db96ec0bSEd Schouten 1527db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.at="isa" 1528db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" 1529db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" 1530db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.irq="4" 1531db96ec0bSEd Schouten boot -s 1532db96ec0bSEd Schouten 1533bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar20080609: 1534bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar The gpt(8) utility has been removed.

The underlying device 1557de570baaSSam Leffler is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are 1558de570baaSSam Leffler cloned with ifconfig.

In addition, mergemaster of 15650f95e625SWarner Losh /etc/rc.d is highly recommended. Simultaneous update of userland 15660f95e625SWarner Losh and kernel wouldn't hurt either. 1567de570baaSSam Leffler 1568de570baaSSam Leffler As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta 1569de570baaSSam Leffler modules were merged into the base wlan module.

The old fts(3) ABI is preserved 162148aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy through symbol versioning in libc, so third-party binaries 162248aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy using fts(3) should still work, although they will not take 162348aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy advantage of the extended types. At the same time, some 162448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy third-party software might fail to build after this change 162548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy due to unportable assumptions made in its source code about 162648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy fts(3) structure members. Such software should be fixed 162748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy by its vendor or, in the worst case, in the ports tree. 162848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy FreeBSD_version 800015 marks this change for the unlikely 162948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy case that a portable fix is impossible. 163048aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy 163151dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov20080123: 16328015f45cSWarner Losh To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running 163351dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov FreeBSD not older than 6.0-RELEASE.

In order to make the special symbols of the Sun 1643e393af84SMarius Strobl keyboards driven by sunkbd(4) work under X these now have 1644e393af84SMarius Strobl to be configured the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven 1645e393af84SMarius Strobl by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation), f.e.: 1646e393af84SMarius Strobl 1647e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbLayout" "us" 1648e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbRules" "xorg" 1649e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbSymbols" "pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+us" 1650e393af84SMarius Strobl 165133d3fffaSMarius Strobl20071024: 165233d3fffaSMarius Strobl It has been decided that it is desirable to provide ABI 165333d3fffaSMarius Strobl backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of the 165433d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was 165533d3fffaSMarius Strobl broken with the introduction of PCI domain support (see the 165633d3fffaSMarius Strobl 20070930 entry). Unfortunately, this required the ABI of 165733d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF to be broken again in order to be able to 165833d3fffaSMarius Strobl provide backwards compatibility to the old version of that 165933d3fffaSMarius Strobl IOCTL. Thus consumers of PCIOCGETCONF have to be recompiled 166033d3fffaSMarius Strobl again. As for prominent ports this affects neither pciutils 166133d3fffaSMarius Strobl nor xorg-server this time, the hal port needs to be rebuilt 166233d3fffaSMarius Strobl however. 166333d3fffaSMarius Strobl 16643d461febSJulian Elischer20071020: 16653d461febSJulian Elischer The misnamed kthread_create() and friends have been renamed 16663d461febSJulian Elischer to kproc_create() etc. Many of the callers already 16673d461febSJulian Elischer used kproc_start().. 16683d461febSJulian Elischer I will return kthread_create() and friends in a while 16693d461febSJulian Elischer with implementations that actually create threads, not procs. 16703d461febSJulian Elischer Renaming corresponds with version 800002. 16713d461febSJulian Elischer 1672c15e0967SKen Smith20071010: 1673c15e0967SKen Smith RELENG_7 branched. 1674c15e0967SKen Smith 1675dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshCOMMON ITEMS: 1676dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1677a24eff53SWarner Losh General Notes 1678a24eff53SWarner Losh ------------- 1679456b5dd8SWarner Losh Avoid using make -j when upgrading. While generally safe, there are 1680456b5dd8SWarner Losh sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with 16811733d35cSRuslan Ermilov -j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there 1682456b5dd8SWarner Losh have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This 1683456b5dd8SWarner Losh is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one 1684456b5dd8SWarner Losh that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when 1685456b5dd8SWarner Losh several months have passed on the -current branch). 1686a24eff53SWarner Losh 16875780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 16885780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 1689456b5dd8SWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. To run 1690456b5dd8SWarner Losh your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make 1691456b5dd8SWarner Losh commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details. 16925780f3baSWarner Losh 1693456b5dd8SWarner Losh When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best 1694456b5dd8SWarner Losh to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, 1695456b5dd8SWarner Losh then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade 1696456b5dd8SWarner Losh path, and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try 1697456b5dd8SWarner Losh this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade. 1698081ff8acSDoug Barton 16996eeab389SWarner Losh When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before 1700da0e842aSWarner Losh installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell 1701da0e842aSWarner Losh around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your 1702da0e842aSWarner Losh starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade. 1703da0e842aSWarner Losh 17048fc25799SMartin Matuska ZFS notes 17058fc25799SMartin Matuska --------- 17068fc25799SMartin Matuska When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow 17078fc25799SMartin Matuska these two steps: 17088fc25799SMartin Matuska 17098fc25799SMartin Matuska 1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block 17108fc25799SMartin Matuska (this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld") 17118fc25799SMartin Matuska 17128fc25799SMartin Matuska 2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive 17138fc25799SMartin Matuska 17148fc25799SMartin Matuska The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first 17158fc25799SMartin Matuska partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ad0: 17168fc25799SMartin Matuska "gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0" 17178fc25799SMartin Matuska 17188fc25799SMartin Matuska Non-boot pools do not need these updates. 17198fc25799SMartin Matuska 1720dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 1721dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 1722ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 17231cf0ef11SDavid E.

At this point in the life 1808fdb9f54dSWarner Losh cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own 1809fdb9f54dSWarner Losh to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of 1810fdb9f54dSWarner Losh the UPDATING entries. 1811ba26da8eSWarner Losh 18121dece4a9SWarner Losh Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to 18131dece4a9SWarner Losh freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update 18141dece4a9SWarner Losh your sources that you have read and understood all the recent 18151dece4a9SWarner Losh messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has 18161dece4a9SWarner Losh much fewer pitfalls. 18171dece4a9SWarner Losh 1818134d2e86SWarner Losh [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you 1819134d2e86SWarner Losh should disable them at this point so they don't crash your 1820134d2e86SWarner Losh system on reboot. 1821134d2e86SWarner Losh 1822ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do 1823ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh fsck -p 1824ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -u / 1825ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -a 18266586253aSWarner Losh cd src 182747d0d01fSWarner Losh adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time 1828f6a0ef01SWarner Losh Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that 1829f6a0ef01SWarner Losh you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. 1830ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh 1831a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step 1832a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 1833a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 1834a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 1835a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 183650e8eca6SDoug Barton for potential gotchas. The -U option is also useful to consider. 183750e8eca6SDoug Barton See mergemaster(8) for more information. 1838a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 1839835284beSWarner Losh [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time 1840835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 1841835284beSWarner Losh step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to 1842835284beSWarner Losh install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make 1843835284beSWarner Losh install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated 184420e0cc0aSBrooks Davis from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430. 1845835284beSWarner Losh 184694877c06SAlexander Leidinger [6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries 184794877c06SAlexander Leidinger can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make 184894877c06SAlexander Leidinger sure that no program is using those libraries anymore. 184994877c06SAlexander Leidinger 1850456b5dd8SWarner Losh [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to 1851456b5dd8SWarner Losh do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in 1852456b5dd8SWarner Losh your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is 1853456b5dd8SWarner Losh hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is 1854456b5dd8SWarner Losh required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. And so on 1855456b5dd8SWarner Losh for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7. 1856c74fe6afSWarner Losh 1857e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 1858e5dc5f61SWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. 1859e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 186021c075eaSWarner Losh [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have 1861e5dc5f61SWarner Losh cvs prune empty directories. 1862e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1863e5dc5f61SWarner Losh If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 1864e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 1865e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 1866e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1867e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 1868e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 1869e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 1870dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 1871dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1872f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 1873630f2154SGlen Barberbreakages in tracking -current.
