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 226bea5c3cSTom Rhodes to maximize performance. (To disable malloc debugging, run 236bea5c3cSTom Rhodes ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf.) 24efc06131SSam Leffler 25a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson20090309: 26d10910e6SBruce M Simpson IGMPv3 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged 27d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to the IPv4 stack. VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 28d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 29d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers, the most important changes are that the 30d10910e6SBruce M Simpson ip_output() and ip_input() paths no longer take the IN_MULTI_LOCK(), 31d10910e6SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 32d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 33d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transport protocols (UDP, Raw IP) are now responsible for filtering 34d10910e6SBruce M Simpson inbound multicast traffic according to group membership and source 35d10910e6SBruce M Simpson filters. The imo_multicast_filter() KPI exists for this purpose. 36d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transports which do not use multicast (SCTP, TCP) already reject 37d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast by default. Forwarding and receive performance may improve 38d10910e6SBruce M Simpson as a mutex acquisition is no longer needed in the ip_input() 39d10910e6SBruce M Simpson low-level input path. in_addmulti() and in_delmulti() are shimmed 40d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to new KPIs which exist to support SSM in-kernel. 41d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 42d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For application developers, it is recommended that loopback of 43d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast datagrams be disabled for best performance, as this 44d10910e6SBruce M Simpson will still cause the lock to be taken for each looped-back 45d10910e6SBruce M Simpson datagram transmission. The net.inet.ip.mcast.loop sysctl may 46d10910e6SBruce M Simpson be tuned to 0 to disable loopback by default; it defaults to 1 47d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. 48d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 49d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators, to obtain best performance with 50d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast reception and multiple groups, it is always recommended 51d10910e6SBruce M Simpson that a card with a suitably precise hash filter is used. Hash 52d10910e6SBruce M Simpson collisions will still result in the lock being taken within the 53d10910e6SBruce M Simpson transport protocol input path to check group membership. 54d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 55d10910e6SBruce M Simpson If deploying FreeBSD in an environment with IGMP snooping switches, 56d10910e6SBruce M Simpson it is recommended that the net.inet.igmp.sendlocal sysctl remain 57d10910e6SBruce M Simpson enabled; this forces 224.0.0.0/24 group membership to be announced 58d10910e6SBruce M Simpson via IGMP. 59d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 60d10910e6SBruce M Simpson The size of 'struct igmpstat' has changed; netstat needs to be 61d10910e6SBruce M Simpson recompiled to reflect this. 62d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800070. 63d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 64d10910e6SBruce M Simpson20090309: 65a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson libusb20.so.1 is now installed as libusb.so.1 and the ports system 66a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson updated to use it. This requires a buildworld/installworld in order to 67a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson update the library and dependencies (usbconfig, etc). Its advisable to 68*cb2fe9b1SStanislav Sedov rebuild all ports which uses libusb. More specific directions are given 69f3106cdeSStanislav Sedov in the ports collection UPDATING file. 70a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson 7165067cc8SKonstantin Belousov20090302: 729f960e98SKonstantin Belousov A workaround is committed to allow the creation of System V shared 739f960e98SKonstantin Belousov memory segment of size > 2 GB on the 64-bit architectures. 749f960e98SKonstantin Belousov Due to a limitation of the existing ABI, the shm_segsz member 7565067cc8SKonstantin Belousov of the struct shmid_ds, returned by shmctl(IPC_STAT) call is 769f960e98SKonstantin Belousov wrong for large segments. Note that limits must be explicitely 7765067cc8SKonstantin Belousov raised to allow such segments to be created. 7865067cc8SKonstantin Belousov 79176273eaSRobert Watson20090301: 80176273eaSRobert Watson The layout of struct ifnet has changed, requiring a rebuild of all 81176273eaSRobert Watson network device driver modules. 82176273eaSRobert Watson 83a13a5664SAndrew Thompson20090227: 84a13a5664SAndrew Thompson The /dev handling for the new USB stack has changed, a 85a13a5664SAndrew Thompson buildworld/installworld is required for libusb20. 86a13a5664SAndrew Thompson 8771e9286cSAndrew Thompson20090223: 8871e9286cSAndrew Thompson The new USB2 stack has now been permanently moved in and all kernel and 89200dcf9aSAndrew Thompson module names reverted to their previous values (eg, usb, ehci, ohci, 909c1e15b5SAndrew Thompson ums, ...). The old usb stack can be compiled in by prefixing the name 9171e9286cSAndrew Thompson with the letter 'o', the old usb modules have been removed. 92a709c9a6SWarner Losh Updating entry 20090216 for xorg and 20090215 for libmap may still 93a709c9a6SWarner Losh apply. 9471e9286cSAndrew Thompson 95553bf6a4SMike Makonnen20090217: 96553bf6a4SMike Makonnen The rc.conf(5) option if_up_delay has been renamed to 97553bf6a4SMike Makonnen defaultroute_delay to better reflect its purpose. If you have 98553bf6a4SMike Makonnen customized this setting in /etc/rc.conf you need to update it to 99553bf6a4SMike Makonnen use the new name. 100553bf6a4SMike Makonnen 101bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson20090216: 102bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not 103bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson yet work with USB2. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then 104bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson add 105bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" 106bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured 107cbb9c89eSMaxim Konovalov kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf. 108bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson 109e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson20090215: 110e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson The GENERIC kernels for all architectures now default to the new USB2 111e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson stack. No kernel config options or code have been removed so if a 112e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson problem arises please report it and optionally revert to the old USB 113e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson stack. If you are loading USB kernel modules or have a custom kernel 114e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson that includes GENERIC then ensure that usb names are also changed over, 115cbb9c89eSMaxim Konovalov eg uftdi -> usb2_serial_ftdi. 116e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson 117a709c9a6SWarner Losh Older programs linked against the ports libusb 0.1 need to be 118a709c9a6SWarner Losh redirected to the new stack's libusb20. /etc/libmap.conf can 119a709c9a6SWarner Losh be used for this: 120a709c9a6SWarner Losh # Map old usb library to new one for usb2 stack 121a709c9a6SWarner Losh libusb-0.1.so.8 libusb20.so.1 122a709c9a6SWarner Losh 12314943437SJohn Baldwin20090203: 12414943437SJohn Baldwin The ichsmb(4) driver has been changed to require SMBus slave 12514943437SJohn Baldwin addresses be left-justified (xxxxxxx0b) rather than right-justified. 12614943437SJohn Baldwin All of the other SMBus controller drivers require left-justified 12714943437SJohn Baldwin slave addresses, so this change makes all the drivers provide the 12814943437SJohn Baldwin same interface. 12914943437SJohn Baldwin 13009f8c3ffSBjoern A.

With this 245eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav upgrade, we've switched to the vendor's default of RSA over 246eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav DSA. This may cause upgraded clients to warn about unknown 247eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav host keys even for previously known hosts. Users should 248eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav follow the usual procedure for verifying host keys before 249eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav accepting the RSA key. 250eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav 251eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav This can be circumvented by setting the "HostKeyAlgorithms" 252eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav option to "ssh-dss,ssh-rsa" in ~/.ssh/config or on the ssh 253eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav command line. 254eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav 255737d990aSXin LI Please note that the sequence of keys offered for 256737d990aSXin LI authentication has been changed as well.

The underlying device 306de570baaSSam Leffler is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are 307de570baaSSam Leffler cloned with ifconfig. This requires changes to rc.conf files. 3085318f840SWarner Losh For example, change: 3095318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" 3105318f840SWarner Losh to 3115318f840SWarner Losh wlans_ath0=wlan0 3125318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" 3130f95e625SWarner Losh see rc.conf(5) for more details. In addition, mergemaster of 3140f95e625SWarner Losh /etc/rc.d is highly recommended. Simultaneous update of userland 3150f95e625SWarner Losh and kernel wouldn't hurt either. 316de570baaSSam Leffler 317de570baaSSam Leffler As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta 318de570baaSSam Leffler modules were merged into the base wlan module.

This affects libkvm 3408775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar and any executables that link against libkvm and use the 3418775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar kvm_getprocs() function. In particular, but not exclusively, 3428775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar it affects ps(1), fstat(1), pkill(1), systat(1), top(1) and w(1). 3438775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar The effects are minimal, but it's advisable to upgrade world 3448775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar nonetheless. 3458775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar 346df09ebc0SJack F Vogel20080229: 347df09ebc0SJack F Vogel The latest em driver no longer has support in it for the 348df09ebc0SJack F Vogel 82575 adapter, this is now moved to the igb driver.

The old fts(3) ABI is preserved 37048aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy through symbol versioning in libc, so third-party binaries 37148aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy using fts(3) should still work, although they will not take 37248aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy advantage of the extended types. At the same time, some 37348aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy third-party software might fail to build after this change 37448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy due to unportable assumptions made in its source code about 37548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy fts(3) structure members. Such software should be fixed 37648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy by its vendor or, in the worst case, in the ports tree. 37748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy FreeBSD_version 800015 marks this change for the unlikely 37848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy case that a portable fix is impossible. 37948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy 38051dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov20080123: 3818015f45cSWarner Losh To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running 38251dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov FreeBSD not older than 6.0-RELEASE. Upgrading to -current 3838015f45cSWarner Losh from 5.x now requires a stop over at RELENG_6 or RELENG_7 systems. 3848015f45cSWarner Losh 385ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato20071128: 386ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato The ADAPTIVE_GIANT kernel option has been retired because its 387ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato functionality is the default now. 388ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato 389e393af84SMarius Strobl20071118: 390e393af84SMarius Strobl The AT keyboard emulation of sunkbd(4) has been turned on 391e393af84SMarius Strobl by default. In order to make the special symbols of the Sun 392e393af84SMarius Strobl keyboards driven by sunkbd(4) work under X these now have 393e393af84SMarius Strobl to be configured the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven 394e393af84SMarius Strobl by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation), f.e.: 395e393af84SMarius Strobl 396e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbLayout" "us" 397e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbRules" "xorg" 398e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbSymbols" "pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+us" 399e393af84SMarius Strobl 40033d3fffaSMarius Strobl20071024: 40133d3fffaSMarius Strobl It has been decided that it is desirable to provide ABI 40233d3fffaSMarius Strobl backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of the 40333d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was 40433d3fffaSMarius Strobl broken with the introduction of PCI domain support (see the 40533d3fffaSMarius Strobl 20070930 entry). Unfortunately, this required the ABI of 40633d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF to be broken again in order to be able to 40733d3fffaSMarius Strobl provide backwards compatibility to the old version of that 40833d3fffaSMarius Strobl IOCTL. Thus consumers of PCIOCGETCONF have to be recompiled 40933d3fffaSMarius Strobl again. As for prominent ports this affects neither pciutils 41033d3fffaSMarius Strobl nor xorg-server this time, the hal port needs to be rebuilt 41133d3fffaSMarius Strobl however. 41233d3fffaSMarius Strobl 4133d461febSJulian Elischer20071020: 4143d461febSJulian Elischer The misnamed kthread_create() and friends have been renamed 4153d461febSJulian Elischer to kproc_create() etc. Many of the callers already 4163d461febSJulian Elischer used kproc_start().. 4173d461febSJulian Elischer I will return kthread_create() and friends in a while 4183d461febSJulian Elischer with implementations that actually create threads, not procs. 4193d461febSJulian Elischer Renaming corresponds with version 800002. 4203d461febSJulian Elischer 421c15e0967SKen Smith20071010: 422c15e0967SKen Smith RELENG_7 branched. 423c15e0967SKen Smith 424dbc6a2cfSDavid E.

The kernel option 'PIM' has now been removed. 6180948f0a2SBruce M Simpson PIM is now built by default if option 'MROUTING' is specified. 6190948f0a2SBruce M Simpson It may now be loaded into GENERIC kernels by loading the 6200948f0a2SBruce M Simpson ip_mroute.ko module. 6210948f0a2SBruce M Simpson 62278cb087eSBruce M Simpson20070207: 62378cb087eSBruce M Simpson Support for IPIP tunnels (VIFF_TUNNEL) in IPv4 multicast routing 62478cb087eSBruce M Simpson has been removed. Its functionality may be achieved by explicitly 62578cb087eSBruce M Simpson configuring gif(4) interfaces and using the 'phyint' keyword in 62678cb087eSBruce M Simpson mrouted.conf. 62778cb087eSBruce M Simpson XORP does not support source-routed IPv4 multicast tunnels nor the 62878cb087eSBruce M Simpson integrated IPIP tunneling, therefore it is not affected by this 62978cb087eSBruce M Simpson change. The __FreeBSD_version macro has been bumped to 700030. 63078cb087eSBruce M Simpson 631067c6db2SJohn Polstra20061221: 632067c6db2SJohn Polstra Support for PCI Message Signalled Interrupts has been 633067c6db2SJohn Polstra re-enabled in the bge driver, only for those chips which are 634067c6db2SJohn Polstra believed to support it properly. If there are any problems, 635067c6db2SJohn Polstra MSI can be disabled completely by setting the 636067c6db2SJohn Polstra 'hw.pci.enable_msi' and 'hw.pci.enable_msix' tunables to 0 637067c6db2SJohn Polstra in the loader. 638067c6db2SJohn Polstra 6393ebdb4eeSJohn Polstra20061214: 640cca510b1SJohn Polstra Support for PCI Message Signalled Interrupts has been 641cca510b1SJohn Polstra disabled again in the bge driver. Many revisions of the 642cca510b1SJohn Polstra hardware fail to support it properly. Support can be 643cca510b1SJohn Polstra re-enabled by removing the #define of BGE_DISABLE_MSI in 644cca510b1SJohn Polstra "src/sys/dev/bge/if_bge.c". 645cca510b1SJohn Polstra 646cca510b1SJohn Polstra20061214: 6473ebdb4eeSJohn Polstra Support for PCI Message Signalled Interrupts has been added 6483ebdb4eeSJohn Polstra to the bge driver.

I suggest all kernel modules that might 656fc19e4c4SJulian Elischer reference these structures be recompiled.. Especially the 657fc19e4c4SJulian Elischer linux module. 658fc19e4c4SJulian Elischer 659a580b31aSAriff Abdullah20061126: 660a580b31aSAriff Abdullah Sound infrastructure has been updated with various fixes and 661a580b31aSAriff Abdullah improvements. Most of the changes are pretty much transparent, 662a580b31aSAriff Abdullah with exceptions of followings: 663a580b31aSAriff Abdullah 1) All sound driver specific sysctls (hw.snd.pcm%d.*) have been 664a580b31aSAriff Abdullah moved to their own dev sysctl nodes, for example: 665a580b31aSAriff Abdullah hw.snd.pcm0.vchans -> dev.pcm.0.vchans 666a580b31aSAriff Abdullah 2) /dev/dspr%d.%d has been deprecated. Each channel now has its 667a580b31aSAriff Abdullah own chardev in the form of "dsp%d.<function>%d", where <function> 668a580b31aSAriff Abdullah is p = playback, r = record and v = virtual, respectively. Users 669a580b31aSAriff Abdullah are encouraged to use these devs instead of (old) "/dev/dsp%d.%d". 670a580b31aSAriff Abdullah This does not affect those who are using "/dev/dsp". 671a580b31aSAriff Abdullah 672a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues20061122: 673b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder geom(4)'s gmirror(8) class metadata structure has been 674b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder rev'd from v3 to v4. If you update across this point and 675b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder your metadata is converted for you, you will not be easily 676b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder able to downgrade since the /boot/kernel.old/geom_mirror.ko 677b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder kernel module will be unable to read the v4 metadata. You 678b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder can resolve this by doing from the loader(8) prompt: 679b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder 680b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder set vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/XXX" 681b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder 682b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder where XXX is the root slice of one of the disks that composed 68303efdfd1SRemko Lodder the mirror (i.e.: /dev/ad0s1a). You can then rebuild 684b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder the array the same way you built it originally. 685b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder 686b5db8ef0SRemko Lodder20061122: 687a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues The following binaries have been disconnected from the build: 688a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues mount_devfs, mount_ext2fs, mount_fdescfs, mount_procfs, mount_linprocfs, 689a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues and mount_std. The functionality of these programs has been 690a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues moved into the mount program. For example, to mount a devfs 691a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues filesystem, instead of using mount_devfs, use: "mount -t devfs". 692a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues This does not affect entries in /etc/fstab, since entries in 693a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues /etc/fstab are always processed with "mount -t fstype". 694a484c95aSCraig Rodrigues 6951d7e99caSJohn Baldwin20061113: 6961d7e99caSJohn Baldwin Support for PCI Message Signalled Interrupts on i386 and amd64 6971d7e99caSJohn Baldwin has been added to the kernel and various drivers will soon be 6981d7e99caSJohn Baldwin updated to use MSI when it is available. If there are any problems, 6991d7e99caSJohn Baldwin MSI can be disabled completely by setting the 'hw.pci.enable_msi' 7001d7e99caSJohn Baldwin and 'hw.pci.enable_msix' tunables to 0 in the loader. 7011d7e99caSJohn Baldwin 7027c0435b9SKip Macy20061110: 7037c0435b9SKip Macy The MUTEX_PROFILING option has been renamed to LOCK_PROFILING. 7047c0435b9SKip Macy The lockmgr object layout has been changed as a result of having 7057c0435b9SKip Macy a lock_object embedded in it. As a consequence all file system 7067c0435b9SKip Macy kernel modules must be re-compiled. The mutex profiling man page 7077c0435b9SKip Macy has not yet been updated to reflect this change. 708c1f61aa9SDavid E. O'Brien 709013d6d8cSJohn Birrell20061026: 7108460a577SJohn Birrell KSE in the kernel has now been made optional and turned on by 711013d6d8cSJohn Birrell default. Use 'nooption KSE' in your kernel config to turn it 712013d6d8cSJohn Birrell off. All kernel modules *must* be recompiled after this change. 713013d6d8cSJohn Birrell There-after, modules from a KSE kernel should be compatible with 714013d6d8cSJohn Birrell modules from a NOKSE kernel due to the temporary padding fields 715013d6d8cSJohn Birrell added to 'struct proc'. 7168460a577SJohn Birrell 71713b3ebf1SBruce M Simpson20060929: 71813b3ebf1SBruce M Simpson mrouted and its utilities have been removed from the base system. 71913b3ebf1SBruce M Simpson 720014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov20060927: 721014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov Some ioctl(2) command codes have changed. Full backward ABI 722014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov compatibility is provided if the "options COMPAT_FREEBSD6" is 723014a1a84SRuslan Ermilov present in the kernel configuration file.

So 7525d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst after updating the kernel sources and compiling a new kernel, 7535d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst the i4b user space tools in "/usr/src/usr.sbin/i4b" must also 7545d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst be rebuilt, and vice versa. 7555d0c7501SThomas Wintergerst 75644a8277bSRink Springer20060627: 75744a8277bSRink Springer The XBOX kernel now defaults to the nfe(4) driver instead of 75844a8277bSRink Springer the nve(4) driver. Please update your configuration 75944a8277bSRink Springer accordingly. 76044a8277bSRink Springer 761647ef1a9SMarius Strobl20060514: 762647ef1a9SMarius Strobl The i386-only lnc(4) driver for the AMD Am7900 LANCE and Am79C9xx 763647ef1a9SMarius Strobl PCnet family of NICs has been removed. The new le(4) driver serves 764647ef1a9SMarius Strobl as an equivalent but cross-platform replacement with the pcn(4) 765647ef1a9SMarius Strobl driver still providing performance-optimized support for the subset 766647ef1a9SMarius Strobl of AMD Am79C971 PCnet-FAST and greater chips as before. 767647ef1a9SMarius Strobl 7689f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas20060511: 7699f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas The machdep.* sysctls and the adjkerntz utility have been 7709f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas modified a bit. The new adjkerntz utility uses the new 7719f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas sysctl names and sysctlbyname() calls, so it may be impossible 7729f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas to run an old /sbin/adjkerntz utility in single-user mode 7739f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas with a new kernel. Replace the `adjkerntz -i' step before 7749f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas `make installworld' with: 7759f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas 7769f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/adjkerntz/adjkerntz -i 7779f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas 7789f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas and proceed as usual with the rest of the installworld-stage 7799f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas steps. Otherwise, you risk installing binaries with their 7809f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas timestamp set several hours in the future, especially if 7819f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas you are running with local time set to GMT+X hours. 7829f8d2f6cSGiorgos Keramidas 783a0a9755eSMax Laier20060412: 784a0a9755eSMax Laier The ip6fw utility has been removed. The behavior provided by 785a0a9755eSMax Laier ip6fw has been in ipfw2 for a good while and the rc.d scripts 7864919094eSChristian Brueffer have been updated to deal with it. There are some rules that 787a0a9755eSMax Laier might not migrate cleanly. Use rc.firewall6 as a template to 788a0a9755eSMax Laier rewrite rules. 789a0a9755eSMax Laier 790ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar20060428: 791ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar The puc(4) driver has been overhauled. The ebus(4) and sbus(4) 792ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar attachments have been removed. Make sure to configure scc(4) 793ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar on sparc64. Note also that by default puc(4) will use uart(4) 794ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar and not sio(4) for serial ports because interrupt handling has 795ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar been optimized for multi-port serial cards and only uart(4) 796ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar implements the interface to support it. 797ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar 798ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar20060330: 799ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar The scc(4) driver replaces puc(4) for Serial Communications 800ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar Controllers (SCCs) like the Siemens SAB82532 and the Zilog 801ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar Z8530. On sparc64, it is advised to add scc(4) to the kernel 802ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar configuration to make sure that the serial ports remain 803ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar functional. 804ff6a2d00SMarcel Moolenaar 805c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov20060317: 806c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov Most world/kernel related NO_* build options changed names. 807c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov New knobs have common prefixes WITHOUT_*/WITH_* (modelled 808c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov after FreeBSD ports) and should be set in /etc/src.conf 809c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov (the src.conf(5) manpage is provided). Full backwards 810c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov compatibility is maintained for the time being though it's 811c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov highly recommended to start moving old options out of the 812c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov system-wide /etc/make.conf file into the new /etc/src.conf 813c60fab8cSRuslan Ermilov while also properly renaming them.

If lqr is enabled 107871c1c49aSBrian Somers (``enable lqr''), older versions would revert to LCP ECHO mode on 107971c1c49aSBrian Somers negotiation failure. Now, ``enable echo'' is required for this 108071c1c49aSBrian Somers behaviour. The ppp version number has been bumped to 3.4.2 to 108171c1c49aSBrian Somers reflect the change. 108271c1c49aSBrian Somers 108388046524SSam Leffler20041201: 108488046524SSam Leffler The wlan support has been updated to split the crypto support 108588046524SSam Leffler into separate modules.

From time to time in the 1129a24eff53SWarner Losh past there have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or 1130a24eff53SWarner Losh installworld. This is especially true when upgrading between 1131a24eff53SWarner Losh "distant" versions (eg one that cross a major release boundary 1132a24eff53SWarner Losh or several minor releases, or when several months have passed 1133a24eff53SWarner Losh on the -current branch). 1134a24eff53SWarner Losh 11355780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 11365780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 11375780f3baSWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. 11385780f3baSWarner Losh To run your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", 11395780f3baSWarner Losh prefix all make commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual 11405780f3baSWarner Losh page for more details. 11415780f3baSWarner Losh 1142081ff8acSDoug Barton When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally 1143081ff8acSDoug Barton best to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch 1144081ff8acSDoug Barton first, then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested 1145081ff8acSDoug Barton upgrade path, and has the highest probability of being successful. 1146081ff8acSDoug Barton Please try this approach before reporting problems with a major 1147081ff8acSDoug Barton version upgrade. 1148081ff8acSDoug Barton 1149dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 1150dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 1151ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 11521cf0ef11SDavid E.

At this point in the life 1238fdb9f54dSWarner Losh cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own 1239fdb9f54dSWarner Losh to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of 1240fdb9f54dSWarner Losh the UPDATING entries. 1241ba26da8eSWarner Losh 12421dece4a9SWarner Losh Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to 12431dece4a9SWarner Losh freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update 12441dece4a9SWarner Losh your sources that you have read and understood all the recent 12451dece4a9SWarner Losh messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has 12461dece4a9SWarner Losh much fewer pitfalls. 12471dece4a9SWarner Losh 1248134d2e86SWarner Losh [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you 1249134d2e86SWarner Losh should disable them at this point so they don't crash your 1250134d2e86SWarner Losh system on reboot. 1251134d2e86SWarner Losh 1252ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do 1253ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh fsck -p 1254ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -u / 1255ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -a 12566586253aSWarner Losh cd src 125747d0d01fSWarner Losh adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time 1258f6a0ef01SWarner Losh Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that 1259f6a0ef01SWarner Losh you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. 1260ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh 1261a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step 1262a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 1263a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 1264a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 1265a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 1266a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh for potential gotchas. 1267a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 1268835284beSWarner Losh [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time 1269835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 1270835284beSWarner Losh step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to 1271835284beSWarner Losh install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make 1272835284beSWarner Losh install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated 1273835284beSWarner Losh from current before 20020224 or from -stable before 20020408. 1274835284beSWarner Losh 1275c74fe6afSWarner Losh [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries 1276c74fe6afSWarner Losh needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 1277c74fe6afSWarner Losh option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system 127865f1be68SGleb Smirnoff that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 127965f1be68SGleb Smirnoff is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. 1280c74fe6afSWarner Losh 1281e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 1282e5dc5f61SWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. 1283e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 128421c075eaSWarner Losh [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have 1285e5dc5f61SWarner Losh cvs prune empty directories. 1286e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1287e5dc5f61SWarner Losh If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 1288e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 1289e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 1290e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1291e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 1292e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 1293e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 1294dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 1295dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1296f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 12971fc1a0dcSWarner Loshbreakages in tracking -current.
