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

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

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

54*cf3de641SJeremie Le Hen20170701:
55*cf3de641SJeremie Le Hen	WITHOUT_RCMDS is now the default. Set WITH_RCMDS if you need them to be
56*cf3de641SJeremie Le Hen	built with the base system.
57*cf3de641SJeremie Le Hen
58fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits20170625:
59fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	The FreeBSD/powerpc platform now uses a 64-bit type for time_t.  This is
60fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must
61fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	be careful when performing source upgrades.  It is best to run
62fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live
63fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition.  Additionally, all ports
64fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	must be recompiled.  powerpc64 is largely unaffected, except in the case
65fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	of 32-bit compatibility.  All 32-bit binaries will be affected.
66fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits
679dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170623:
685ab191c4SWarner Losh	Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This
695ab191c4SWarner Losh	will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
705ab191c4SWarner Losh	fashion.  This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
715ab191c4SWarner Losh	upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
725ab191c4SWarner Losh	the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
73a28412b0SEd Maste	enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations.
749dd39fd6SWarner Losh
759dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170620:
769dd39fd6SWarner Losh	Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler). Set WITH_GPL_DTC
779dd39fd6SWarner Losh	if you require the GPL compiler.
785ab191c4SWarner Losh
7933ecebd1SRick Macklem20170618:
8033ecebd1SRick Macklem	The internal ABI used for communication between the NFS kernel modules
8133ecebd1SRick Macklem	was changed by r320085, so __FreeBSD_version was bumped to
8233ecebd1SRick Macklem	ensure all the NFS related modules are updated together.
8333ecebd1SRick Macklem
849a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov20170617:
859a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	The ABI of struct event was changed by extending the data
869a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	member to 64bit and adding ext fields.  For upgrade, same
879a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be
889a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	followed.
899a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov
90472c2b48SEd Maste20170531:
91472c2b48SEd Maste	The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base. To render manpages
92472c2b48SEd Maste	which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff
93472c2b48SEd Maste	from ports (and recommends to install it).
94472c2b48SEd Maste	To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the
95472c2b48SEd Maste	heirloom doctools roff toolchain from ports via pkg install groff or
96472c2b48SEd Maste	via pkg install heirloom-doctools.
97472c2b48SEd Maste
989949595eSAdrian Chadd20170524:
999949595eSAdrian Chadd	The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
1009949595eSAdrian Chadd	smaller runtime footprint builds.  This is useful for embedded systems
1019949595eSAdrian Chadd	which only require one chipset support.
1029949595eSAdrian Chadd
1039949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
1049949595eSAdrian Chadd
1059949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath_load="YES"
1069949595eSAdrian Chadd
1079949595eSAdrian Chadd	This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
1089949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
1099949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
1109949595eSAdrian Chadd
1119949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
1129949595eSAdrian Chadd	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
1139949595eSAdrian Chadd
1149949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_hal
1159949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load the chip modules in question
1169949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
1179949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_main
1189949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
1199949595eSAdrian Chadd	  bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.

1229949595eSAdrian Chadd
123b149eba4SEd Maste20170523:
124b149eba4SEd Maste	The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
125dcfffd04SEd Maste	a number of types to 64 bits.  Upgrading in place requires care and
126dcfffd04SEd Maste	adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
127dcfffd04SEd Maste
128dcfffd04SEd Maste	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
129dcfffd04SEd Maste	COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
130dcfffd04SEd Maste	system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
131dcfffd04SEd Maste
132dcfffd04SEd Maste	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
133dcfffd04SEd Maste	artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*".   Then, carefully follow the
134dcfffd04SEd Maste	full procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild
135dcfffd04SEd Maste	everything and install it on the current system."  Specifically,
136dcfffd04SEd Maste	a reboot is required after installing the new kernel before
137dcfffd04SEd Maste	installing world.
138b149eba4SEd Maste
139a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis20170424:
140a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	The NATM framework including the en(4), fatm(4), hatm(4), and
141a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	patm(4) devices has been removed.  Consumers should plan a
142a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	migration before the end-of-life date for FreeBSD 11.
143a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis
144a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin20170420:
145a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff has been replaced by a BSD licensed diff. Some features of GNU
146a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	diff has not been implemented, if those are needed a newer version of
147a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff is available via the diffutils package under the gdiff name.
148a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin
1495810e45bSCy Schubert20170413:
1505810e45bSCy Schubert	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
1515810e45bSCy Schubert	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
1525810e45bSCy Schubert	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
153a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
1545810e45bSCy Schubert	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
1555810e45bSCy Schubert	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
1560cad3ecaSCy Schubert	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
1575810e45bSCy Schubert
1581bf5e133SEd Maste20170407:
1591bf5e133SEd Maste	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
1601bf5e133SEd Maste	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be
1611bf5e133SEd Maste	installed. To continue using aarch64-binutils, set
1621bf5e133SEd Maste	CROSS_BINUTILS_PREFIX=/usr/local/aarch64-freebsd/bin .
1631bf5e133SEd Maste
16428da7a25SBryan Drewery20170405:
16528da7a25SBryan Drewery	The UDP optimization in entry 20160818 that added the sysctl
16628da7a25SBryan Drewery	net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast has been reverted.  L2 broadcast
16728da7a25SBryan Drewery	packets will no longer be treated as L3 broadcast packets.
16828da7a25SBryan Drewery
1696ebc1b7bSSteven Hartland20170331:
1704d806fc6SSteven Hartland	Binds and sends to the loopback addresses, IPv6 and IPv4, will now
1716ebc1b7bSSteven Hartland	use any explicitly assigned loopback address available in the jail
1724d806fc6SSteven Hartland	instead of using the first assigned address of the jail.
1736ebc1b7bSSteven Hartland
1740458b265SEnji Cooper20170329:
1750458b265SEnji Cooper	The ctl.ko module no longer implements the iSCSI target frontend:
1760458b265SEnji Cooper	cfiscsi.ko does instead.
1770458b265SEnji Cooper
1780458b265SEnji Cooper	If building cfiscsi.ko as a kernel module, the module can be loaded
1790458b265SEnji Cooper	via one of the following methods:
1800458b265SEnji Cooper	- `cfiscsi_load="YES"` in loader.conf(5).
1810458b265SEnji Cooper	- Add `cfiscsi` to `$kld_list` in rc.conf(5).
1820458b265SEnji Cooper	- ctladm(8)/ctld(8), when compiled with iSCSI support
1830458b265SEnji Cooper	  (`WITH_ISCSI=yes` in src.conf(5))
1840458b265SEnji Cooper
1850458b265SEnji Cooper	Please see cfiscsi(4) for more details.
1860458b265SEnji Cooper
18772dec079SMarius Strobl20170316:
18872dec079SMarius Strobl	The mmcsd.ko module now additionally depends on geom_flashmap.ko.
18972dec079SMarius Strobl	Also, mmc.ko and mmcsd.ko need to be a matching pair built from the
19072dec079SMarius Strobl	same source (previously, the dependency of mmcsd.ko on mmc.ko was
19172dec079SMarius Strobl	missing, but mmcsd.ko now will refuse to load if it is incompatible
19272dec079SMarius Strobl	with mmc.ko).
19372dec079SMarius Strobl
1946ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov20170315:
1956ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	The syntax of ipfw(8) named states was changed to avoid ambiguity.
1966ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	If you have used named states in the firewall rules, you need to modify
1976ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	them after installworld and before rebooting. Now named states must
1986ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	be prefixed with colon.
1996ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov
2003bbe3f67SBaptiste Daroussin20170311:
201f7c23774SEmmanuel Vadot	The old drm (sys/dev/drm/) drivers for i915 and radeon have been
202f7c23774SEmmanuel Vadot	removed as the userland we provide cannot use them. The KMS version
203a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	(sys/dev/drm2) supports the same hardware.
204f7c23774SEmmanuel Vadot
205e1bb2a82SDimitry Andric20170302:
206617b5f75SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 4.0.0.
207617b5f75SDimitry Andric	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites

210e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon20170221:
211e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	The code that provides support for ZFS .zfs/ directory functionality
212e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	has been reimplemented.  It's not possible now to create a snapshot
213e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	by mkdir under .zfs/snapshot/.  That should be the only user visible
214e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	change.
215e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon
21618f447edSWarner Losh20170216:
21718f447edSWarner Losh	EISA bus support has been removed. The WITH_EISA option is no longer
21818f447edSWarner Losh	valid.
21918f447edSWarner Losh
22018f447edSWarner Losh20170215:
22118f447edSWarner Losh	MCA bus support has been removed.
22218f447edSWarner Losh
223f52e4bdfSEd Maste20170127:
224f52e4bdfSEd Maste	The WITH_LLD_AS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_AS_LD build knobs have been renamed
225f52e4bdfSEd Maste	WITH_LLD_IS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_IS_LD, for consistency with CLANG_IS_CC.
226f52e4bdfSEd Maste
227062a4b8cSSean Bruno20170112:
228062a4b8cSSean Bruno	The EM_MULTIQUEUE kernel configuration option is deprecated now that
229062a4b8cSSean Bruno	the em(4) driver conforms to iflib specifications.
230062a4b8cSSean Bruno
231f2d6ace4SSean Bruno20170109:
232f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	The igb(4), em(4) and lem(4) ethernet drivers are now implemented via
233f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	IFLIB.  If you have a custom kernel configuration that excludes em(4)
234f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	but you use igb(4), you need to re-add em(4) to your custom configuration.
235f2d6ace4SSean Bruno
2364644fe91SDimitry Andric20161217:
23745bd65d6SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 3.9.1.

2464026b447SJustin Hibbits20161119:
2474026b447SJustin Hibbits	The layout of the pmap structure has changed for powerpc to put the pmap
2484026b447SJustin Hibbits	statistics at the front for all CPU variations.  libkvm(3) and all tools
2494026b447SJustin Hibbits	that link against it need to be recompiled.
2504026b447SJustin Hibbits
251448897d3SAndriy Gapon20161030:
252448897d3SAndriy Gapon	isl(4) and cyapa(4) drivers now require a new driver,
253448897d3SAndriy Gapon	chromebook_platform(4), to work properly on Chromebook-class hardware.
254448897d3SAndriy Gapon	On other types of hardware the drivers may need to be configured using
255448897d3SAndriy Gapon	device hints.  Please see the corresponding manual pages for details.
256448897d3SAndriy Gapon
2572616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk20161017:
2582616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	The urtwn(4) driver was merged into rtwn(4) and now consists of
2592616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	rtwn(4) main module + rtwn_usb(4) and rtwn_pci(4) bus-specific
2602616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	parts.
2612616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	Also, firmware for RTL8188CE was renamed due to possible name
2622616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	conflict (rtwnrtl8192cU(B) -> rtwnrtl8192cE(B))

270bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney20161008:
271bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	Use of the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd, or cc_vegas congestion control
272bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	modules now requires that the kernel configuration contain the
273bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	TCP_HHOOK option. (This option is included in the GENERIC kernel.)

280bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
281bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
282bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file
283bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	systems.  On those file systems, foo.So is the same file as foo.so.

2855b71d899SBaptiste Daroussin20160918:
286f902d06cSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU rcs has been turned off by default.  It can (temporarily) be built
2870adf2bc8SBaptiste Daroussin	again by adding WITH_RCS knob in src.conf.
288452e1889SBaptiste Daroussin	Otherwise, GNU rcs is available from packages:
289452e1889SBaptiste Daroussin	- rcs: Latest GPLv3 GNU rcs version.

29506b93667SConrad Meyer20160908:
29606b93667SConrad Meyer	The queue(3) debugging macro, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG, has been split into
29706b93667SConrad Meyer	two separate components, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRACE and
29806b93667SConrad Meyer	QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRASH.  Define both for the original
29906b93667SConrad Meyer	QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG behavior.

3011c828193SNavdeep Parhar20160824:
3021c828193SNavdeep Parhar	r304787 changed some ioctl interfaces between the iSCSI userspace
3031c828193SNavdeep Parhar	programs and the kernel.  ctladm, ctld, iscsictl, and iscsid must be
3041c828193SNavdeep Parhar	rebuilt to work with new kernels.  __FreeBSD_version has been bumped
3051c828193SNavdeep Parhar	to 1200005.

3073e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil20160818:
30828da7a25SBryan Drewery	The UDP receive code has been updated to only treat incoming UDP
30928da7a25SBryan Drewery	packets that were addressed to an L2 broadcast address as L3
31028da7a25SBryan Drewery	broadcast packets.  It is not expected that this will affect any
31128da7a25SBryan Drewery	standards-conforming UDP application.  The new behaviour can be
31228da7a25SBryan Drewery	disabled by setting the sysctl net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast to
31328da7a25SBryan Drewery	0.
31428da7a25SBryan Drewery
31528da7a25SBryan Drewery20160818:
3163e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil	Remove the openbsd_poll system call.
3173e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
3183e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil
319ddc2f805SBrooks Davis20160622:
320678243ffSBrooks Davis	The libc stub for the pipe(2) system call has been replaced with
321f0db8553SBrooks Davis	a wrapper that calls the pipe2(2) system call and the pipe(2)
322f0db8553SBrooks Davis	system call is now only implemented by the kernels that include
323f0db8553SBrooks Davis	"options COMPAT_FREEBSD10" in their config file (this is the
324f0db8553SBrooks Davis	default).  Users should ensure that this option is enabled in
325f0db8553SBrooks Davis	their kernel or upgrade userspace to r302092 before upgrading their
326f0db8553SBrooks Davis	kernel.

328583febf4SAlan Somers20160527:
329583febf4SAlan Somers	CAM will now strip leading spaces from SCSI disks' serial numbers.
330fb9b2ab1SBryan Drewery	This will affect users who create UFS filesystems on SCSI disks using
331583febf4SAlan Somers	those disk's diskid device nodes.  For example, if /etc/fstab
332583febf4SAlan Somers	previously contained a line like
333583febf4SAlan Somers	"/dev/diskid/DISK-%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ABCDEFG0123456", you should
334583febf4SAlan Somers	change it to "/dev/diskid/DISK-ABCDEFG0123456".  Users of geom
335ab5d7fb1SAlan Somers	transforms like gmirror may also be affected.  ZFS users should
336583febf4SAlan Somers	generally be fine.
337583febf4SAlan Somers
3381b82e02fSAlan Somers20160523:
3391b82e02fSAlan Somers	The bitstring(3) API has been updated with new functionality and
3401b82e02fSAlan Somers	improved performance.  But it is binary-incompatible with the old API.
3411b82e02fSAlan Somers	Objects built with the new headers may not be linked against objects
3421b82e02fSAlan Somers	built with the old headers.

34494098ab7SAndrew Turner20160520:
34594098ab7SAndrew Turner	The brk and sbrk functions have been removed from libc on arm64.
34694098ab7SAndrew Turner	Binutils from ports has been updated to not link to these
34794098ab7SAndrew Turner	functions and should be updated to the latest version before
34894098ab7SAndrew Turner	installing a new libc.
34994098ab7SAndrew Turner
3502c0e9e2aSWarner Losh20160517:
3512c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	The armv6 port now defaults to hard float ABI. Limited support
3522c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	for running both hardfloat and soft float on the same system
3532c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	is available using the libraries installed with -DWITH_LIBSOFT.
3542c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	This has only been tested as an upgrade path for installworld
3552c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	and packages may fail or need manual intervention to run. New
3562c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	packages will be needed.
3572c0e9e2aSWarner Losh
358957fc425SIan Lepore	To update an existing self-hosted armv6hf system, you must add
359957fc425SIan Lepore	TARGET_ARCH=armv6 on the make command line for both the build
360957fc425SIan Lepore	and the install steps.

3625f0263c1SJohn Baldwin20160510:
3635f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	Kernel modules compiled outside of a kernel build now default to
3645f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	installing to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.  Many kernel
3655f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	modules built this way (such as those in ports) already overrode
3665f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	KMODDIR explicitly to install into /boot/modules.  However,
3675f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	manually building and installing a module from /sys/modules will
3685f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	now install to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.

37013694b35SWarner Losh20160414:
371a1743365SWarner Losh	The CAM I/O scheduler has been committed to the kernel. There should be
372a1743365SWarner Losh	no user visible impact. This does enable NCQ Trim on ada SSDs. While the
373a1743365SWarner Losh	list of known rogues that claim support for this but actually corrupt
374a1743365SWarner Losh	data is believed to be complete, be on the lookout for data
375a1743365SWarner Losh	corruption. The known rogue list is believed to be complete:
376a1743365SWarner Losh
377a1743365SWarner Losh		o Crucial MX100, M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
378a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M510 and M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
379a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M500 prior to MU07 firmware
380a1743365SWarner Losh		o Samsung 830, 840, and 850 all firmwares
381a1743365SWarner Losh		o FCCT M500 all firmwares
382a1743365SWarner Losh
383a1743365SWarner Losh	Crucial has firmware http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware
384a1743365SWarner Losh	with working NCQ TRIM. For Micron branded drives, see your sales rep for
385a1743365SWarner Losh	updated firmware. Black listed drives will work correctly because these
386a1743365SWarner Losh	drives work correctly so long as no NCQ TRIMs are sent to them. Given
387a1743365SWarner Losh	this list is the same as found in Linux, it's believed there are no
388a1743365SWarner Losh	other rogues in the market place. All other models from the above
389a1743365SWarner Losh	vendors work.
390a1743365SWarner Losh
391a1743365SWarner Losh	To be safe, if you are at all concerned, you can quirk each of your
392a1743365SWarner Losh	drives to prevent NCQ from being sent by setting:
393a1743365SWarner Losh		kern.cam.ada.X.quirks="0x2"
394a1743365SWarner Losh	in loader.conf. If the drive requires the 4k sector quirk, set the
395a1743365SWarner Losh	quirks entry to 0x3.

397497e8091SBryan Drewery20160330:
398497e8091SBryan Drewery	The FAST_DEPEND build option has been removed and its functionality is
399497e8091SBryan Drewery	now the one true way.  The old mkdep(1) style of 'make depend' has
400497e8091SBryan Drewery	been removed.  See 20160311 for further details.
401497e8091SBryan Drewery
402da1b038aSJustin Hibbits20160317:
403da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	Resource range types have grown from unsigned long to uintmax_t.  All
404da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	drivers, and anything using libdevinfo, need to be recompiled.
405da1b038aSJustin Hibbits
406d783b170SBryan Drewery20160311:
407d783b170SBryan Drewery	WITH_FAST_DEPEND is now enabled by default for in-tree and out-of-tree
408d783b170SBryan Drewery	builds.  It no longer runs mkdep(1) during 'make depend', and the
409d783b170SBryan Drewery	'make depend' stage can safely be skipped now as it is auto ran
410d783b170SBryan Drewery	when building 'make all' and will generate all SRCS and DPSRCS before
411d783b170SBryan Drewery	building anything else.  Dependencies are gathered at compile time with
412d783b170SBryan Drewery	-MF flags kept in separate .depend files per object file.  Users should
413d783b170SBryan Drewery	run 'make cleandepend' once if using -DNO_CLEAN to clean out older
414d783b170SBryan Drewery	stale .depend files.

416c834228bSDimitry Andric20160306:
417c834228bSDimitry Andric	On amd64, clang 3.8.0 can now insert sections of type AMD64_UNWIND into
418c834228bSDimitry Andric	kernel modules.  Therefore, if you load any kernel modules at boot time,
419c834228bSDimitry Andric	please install the boot loaders after you install the kernel, but before
420c834228bSDimitry Andric	rebooting, e.g.:
421c834228bSDimitry Andric
422c834228bSDimitry Andric	make buildworld
423c834228bSDimitry Andric	make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
424c834228bSDimitry Andric	make -C sys/boot install
425c834228bSDimitry Andric	<reboot in single user>
426c834228bSDimitry Andric
427c834228bSDimitry Andric	Then follow the usual steps, described in the General Notes section,

429c834228bSDimitry Andric
430e74e149fSDimitry Andric20160305:
431e74e149fSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb and compiler-rt have been upgraded to 3.8.0.  Please
432e74e149fSDimitry Andric	see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and
433e74e149fSDimitry Andric	upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.

4358b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin20160301:
4368b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	The AIO subsystem is now a standard part of the kernel.  The
4378b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	VFS_AIO kernel option and aio.ko kernel module have been removed.
4388b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	Due to stability concerns, asynchronous I/O requests are only
4398b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	permitted on sockets and raw disks by default.  To enable
4408b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	asynchronous I/O requests on all file types, set the
4418b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl to a non-zero value.
4428b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin
443de463b29SEd Maste20160226:
444ca8b902aSEd Maste	The ELF object manipulation tool objcopy is now provided by the
445ca8b902aSEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain project rather than by GNU binutils. It should be a
446ca8b902aSEd Maste	drop-in replacement, with the addition of arm64 support. The
447ca8b902aSEd Maste	(temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set
448ca8b902aSEd Maste	to obtain the GNU version if necessary.
449ca8b902aSEd Maste
450d4b9233aSAlan Somers20160129:
451d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Building ZFS pools on top of zvols is prohibited by default.  That
452d4b9233aSAlan Somers	feature has never worked safely; it's always been prone to deadlocks.
453d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Using a zvol as the backing store for a VM guest's virtual disk will
454d4b9233aSAlan Somers	still work, even if the guest is using ZFS.  Legacy behavior can be
455d4b9233aSAlan Somers	restored by setting vfs.zfs.vol.recursive=1.
456d4b9233aSAlan Somers
45760c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav20160119:
45860c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	The NONE and HPN patches has been removed from OpenSSH.  They are
45960c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	still available in the security/openssh-portable port.
46060c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav
4613bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo20160113:
4623bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	With the addition of ypldap(8), a new _ypldap user is now required
4633bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add the user
4643bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
4653bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo
4664d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin20151216:
4674d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	The tftp loader (pxeboot) now uses the option root-path directive. As a
4684d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	consequence it no longer looks for a pxeboot.4th file on the tftp
4694d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	server. Instead it uses the regular /boot infrastructure as with the
4704d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	other loaders.
4714d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin
472ca7e5285SWarner Losh20151211:
473ca7e5285SWarner Losh	The code to start recording plug and play data into the modules has
474ca7e5285SWarner Losh	been committed. While the old tools will properly build a new kernel,
475ca7e5285SWarner Losh	a number of warnings about "unknown metadata record 4" will be produced
476ca7e5285SWarner Losh	for an older kldxref. To avoid such warnings, make sure to rebuild
477ca7e5285SWarner Losh	the kernel toolchain (or world). Make sure that you have r292078 or
478ca7e5285SWarner Losh	later when trying to build 292077 or later before rebuilding.
479ca7e5285SWarner Losh
480015dfda6SEd Maste20151207:
481015dfda6SEd Maste	Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
482015dfda6SEd Maste	installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
483015dfda6SEd Maste	requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
484015dfda6SEd Maste	world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
485015dfda6SEd Maste	in src.conf(5).
486015dfda6SEd Maste
48733ba1088SRick Macklem20151130:
48833ba1088SRick Macklem	r291527 changed the internal interface between the nfsd.ko and
48933ba1088SRick Macklem	nfscommon.ko modules. As such, they must both be upgraded to-gether.
49033ba1088SRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
49133ba1088SRick Macklem
492af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin20151108:
493af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	Add support for unicode collation strings leads to a change of
494af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	order of files listed by ls(1) for example. To get back to the old
495af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	behaviour, set LC_COLLATE environment variable to "C".
496af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin
4970492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	Databases administrators will need to reindex their databases given
4980492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	collation results will be different.
4990492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin
50010b5202eSBaptiste Daroussin	Due to a bug in install(1) it is recommended to remove the ancient
5011300d6f1SBaptiste Daroussin	locales before running make installworld.

509ebda5173SAlexander Motin20151020:
510ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Qlogic 24xx/25xx firmware images were updated from 5.5.0 to 7.3.0.
511ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Kernel modules isp_2400_multi and isp_2500_multi were removed and
512ebda5173SAlexander Motin	should be replaced with isp_2400 and isp_2500 modules respectively.
513ebda5173SAlexander Motin
51456585ab5SBryan Drewery20151017:
51556585ab5SBryan Drewery	The build previously allowed using 'make -n' to not recurse into
51656585ab5SBryan Drewery	sub-directories while showing what commands would be executed, and
51756585ab5SBryan Drewery	'make -n -n' to recursively show commands.  Now 'make -n' will recurse
51856585ab5SBryan Drewery	and 'make -N' will not.
51956585ab5SBryan Drewery
520ff446b05SPeter Wemm20151012:
521ff446b05SPeter Wemm	If you specify SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF in make.conf, mergemaster
522ff446b05SPeter Wemm	and etcupdate will now use this file. A custom sendmail.cf is now
523ff446b05SPeter Wemm	updated via this mechanism rather than via installworld.  If you had
524ff446b05SPeter Wemm	excluded sendmail.cf in mergemaster.rc or etcupdate.conf, you may
525ff446b05SPeter Wemm	want to remove the exclusion or change it to "always install".
526ff446b05SPeter Wemm	/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is now managed the same way regardless of
527ff446b05SPeter Wemm	whether SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF is used.  If you are not using
528ff446b05SPeter Wemm	SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF there should be no change in behavior.
529ff446b05SPeter Wemm
5304a3760baSAlexander Motin20151011:
5314a3760baSAlexander Motin	Compatibility shims for legacy ATA device names have been removed.
5324a3760baSAlexander Motin	It includes ATA_STATIC_ID kernel option, kern.cam.ada.legacy_aliases
5334a3760baSAlexander Motin	and kern.geom.raid.legacy_aliases loader tunables, kern.devalias.*

5415882166bSEd Maste20150924:
54205117b57SEd Maste	Kernel debug files have been moved to /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/,
54305117b57SEd Maste	and renamed from .symbols to .debug. This reduces the size requirements
54405117b57SEd Maste	on the boot partition or file system and provides consistency with
54505117b57SEd Maste	userland debug files.
54605117b57SEd Maste
54705117b57SEd Maste	When using the supported kernel installation method the
54805117b57SEd Maste	/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel directory will be renamed (to kernel.old)
54905117b57SEd Maste	as is done with /boot/kernel.
55005117b57SEd Maste
55105117b57SEd Maste	Developers wishing to maintain the historical behavior of installing

5558ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	The wireless drivers had undergone changes that remove the 'parent
5568ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	interface' from the ifconfig -l output. The rc.d network scripts
5578ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	used to check presence of a parent interface in the list, so old
5588ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	scripts would fail to start wireless networking. Thus, etcupdate(3)
5598ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	or mergemaster(8) run is required after kernel update, to update your

578646041a8SMark Murray

588e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	The polarity of Pulse Per Second (PPS) capture events with the
589e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	uart(4) driver has been corrected.  Prior to this change the PPS
590e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	"assert" event corresponded to the trailing edge of a positive PPS
591e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	pulse and the "clear" event was the leading edge of the next pulse.
592e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
593e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	As the width of a PPS pulse in a typical GPS receiver is on the
594e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	order of 1 millisecond, most users will not notice any significant
595e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	difference with this change.
596e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
597e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	Anyone who has compensated for the historical polarity reversal by
598e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	configuring a negative offset equal to the pulse width will need to
599e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	remove that workaround.

627ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro20150706:
628ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail has been updated to 8.15.2.  Starting with FreeBSD 11.0
629ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	and sendmail 8.15, sendmail uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by
630ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	default, i.e., they will not contain "::".  For example, instead
631ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	of ::1, it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1.  This permits a zero subnet
632ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	to have a more specific match, such as different map entries for
633ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0.  This change requires that configuration
634ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	data (including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset, etc.) must
635ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	use the same format, so make certain such configuration data is
636ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	upgrading.  As a very simple check search for patterns like
637ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'.  To return to the old
638ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	behavior, set the m4 option confUSE_COMPRESSED_IPV6_ADDRESSES or
639ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	the cf option UseCompressedIPv6Addresses.

641d1b06863SMark Murray20150630:
642d1b06863SMark Murray	The default kernel entropy-processing algorithm is now
643d1b06863SMark Murray	Fortuna, replacing Yarrow.
6446f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
645d1b06863SMark Murray	Assuming you have 'device random' in your kernel config
646d1b06863SMark Murray	file, the configurations allow a kernel option to override
647d1b06863SMark Murray	this default. You may choose *ONE* of:
6486f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
649d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_YARROW	# Legacy /dev/random algorithm.
650d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_DUMMY	# Blocking-only driver.
6516f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
652d1b06863SMark Murray	If you have neither, you get Fortuna.  For most people,
653d1b06863SMark Murray	read no further, Fortuna will give a /dev/random that works
654d1b06863SMark Murray	like it always used to, and the difference will be irrelevant.
6556f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
656d1b06863SMark Murray	If you remove 'device random', you get *NO* kernel-processed
65702dcb6e0SEitan Adler	entropy at all. This may be acceptable to folks building
658d1b06863SMark Murray	embedded systems, but has complications. Carry on reading,
659d1b06863SMark Murray	and it is assumed you know what you need.
660d1b06863SMark Murray
661d1b06863SMark Murray	*PLEASE* read random(4) and random(9) if you are in the
66202dcb6e0SEitan Adler	habit of tweaking kernel configs, and/or if you are a member
663d1b06863SMark Murray	of the embedded community, wanting specific and not-usual
664d1b06863SMark Murray	behaviour from your security subsystems.
665d1b06863SMark Murray
666d1b06863SMark Murray	NOTE!! If you use RANDOM_DUMMY and/or have no 'device
667d1b06863SMark Murray	random', you will NOT have a functioning /dev/random, and
668d1b06863SMark Murray	many cryptographic features will not work, including SSH.
669d1b06863SMark Murray	You may also find strange behaviour from the random(3) set
670d1b06863SMark Murray	of library functions, in particular sranddev(3), srandomdev(3)
671d1b06863SMark Murray	and arc4random(3). The reason for this is that the KERN_ARND
672d1b06863SMark Murray	sysctl only returns entropy if it thinks it has some to
673d1b06863SMark Murray	share, and with RANDOM_DUMMY or no 'device random' this
674d1b06863SMark Murray	will never happen.

832143c11b4SDimitry Andric	system C++ library should be libc++, or libdstdc++ from gcc 4.8 or
833143c11b4SDimitry Andric	later.
834143c11b4SDimitry Andric
8350ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	On any standard FreeBSD 10.x or 11.x installation, where clang and
8360ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	libc++ are on by default (that is, on x86 or arm), this should work out
8370ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	of the box.
838143c11b4SDimitry Andric
839143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 9.x installations where clang is enabled by default, e.g. on x86 and
840143c11b4SDimitry Andric	powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be
841143c11b4SDimitry Andric	built (with clang) and installed first.  If both clang and libc++ are
842143c11b4SDimitry Andric	missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++.
843143c11b4SDimitry Andric
844143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow
845143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the instructions for 9.x above.
846143c11b4SDimitry Andric
8470ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by
8480ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	default, and do not build clang.
8490ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
8500ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to
8510ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all.  In those
8520ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround.
8530ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
854143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which
855143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the following are most likely to appear:
856143c11b4SDimitry Andric
857143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wabsolute-value
858143c11b4SDimitry Andric
859143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This warns in two cases, for both C and C++:
860143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned
861143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was
862143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  intended.  The code should be fixed, if at all possible.  If you are
863143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without
864143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit
865143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  cast, or disable the warning.
866143c11b4SDimitry Andric
867143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called
868143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation.
869143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please
870143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted
871143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  side-effects.
872143c11b4SDimitry Andric
873143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wtautological-undefined-compare and
874143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wundefined-bool-conversion
875143c11b4SDimitry Andric
876143c11b4SDimitry Andric	These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while
877143c11b4SDimitry Andric	'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code.  However, there is
878143c11b4SDimitry Andric	some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this
879143c11b4SDimitry Andric	feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions.
880143c11b4SDimitry Andric
881143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Squid and openjdk do this, for example.  The warning can be turned off
882143c11b4SDimitry Andric	for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result
883143c11b4SDimitry Andric	in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are
884143c11b4SDimitry Andric	unreachable could be optimized away.

8860b327b63SRick Macklem20141222:
8870b327b63SRick Macklem	The old NFS client and server (kernel options NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER)

9112d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
9122d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf,
9132d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	most probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will
9142d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	indicate what you need to do.
9152d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
9162d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to

946232490c6SNathan Whitehorn20140729:
947232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	The ofwfb driver, used to provide a graphics console on PowerPC when
94874342541SChristian Brueffer	using vt(4), no longer allows mmap() of all physical memory. This
949232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	will prevent Xorg on PowerPC with some ATI graphics cards from

98318aa7fccSRick Macklem20140701:
98418aa7fccSRick Macklem	Commit r268115 has added NFSv4.1 server support, merged from
98518aa7fccSRick Macklem	projects/nfsv4.1-server.  Since this includes changes to the
98618aa7fccSRick Macklem	internal interfaces between the NFS related modules, a full

990824a9093SEd Maste20140629:
991824a9093SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_VT_SUPPORT kernel config knob has been renamed
992824a9093SEd Maste	WITHOUT_VT.  (The other _SUPPORT knobs have a consistent meaning

99538b72f8cSAlexander Motin20140619:
99638b72f8cSAlexander Motin	Maximal length of the serial number in CTL was increased from 16 to
99738b72f8cSAlexander Motin	64 chars, that breaks ABI.  All CTL-related tools, such as ctladm
99838b72f8cSAlexander Motin	and ctld, need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
99938b72f8cSAlexander Motin
1000727a7ce8SJulio Merino20140606:
1001727a7ce8SJulio Merino	The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and
1002727a7ce8SJulio Merino	1 respectively to match the upstream numbers.  They were out of
1003727a7ce8SJulio Merino	sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the
1004727a7ce8SJulio Merino	upstream versions were not respected.  These libraries are private
1005727a7ce8SJulio Merino	and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a
1006727a7ce8SJulio Merino	non-issue.  However, unclean source trees will yield broken test
1007727a7ce8SJulio Merino	programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a
1008727a7ce8SJulio Merino	"make installworld".
1009727a7ce8SJulio Merino
10108c7ec47aSJulio Merino	Additionally, the atf-sh binary was made private by moving it into
10118c7ec47aSJulio Merino	/usr/libexec/.  Already-built shell test programs will keep the
10128c7ec47aSJulio Merino	path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old"
10138c7ec47aSJulio Merino	is run.
10148c7ec47aSJulio Merino
1015727a7ce8SJulio Merino	If you are using WITH_TESTS=yes (not the default), wipe the object
1016727a7ce8SJulio Merino	tree and rebuild from scratch to prevent spurious test failures.
10178c7ec47aSJulio Merino	This is only needed once: the misnumbered libraries and misplaced
10188c7ec47aSJulio Merino	binaries have been added to OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc so they will
10198c7ec47aSJulio Merino	be removed during a clean upgrade.

102185d60e68SDimitry Andric20140512:
102285d60e68SDimitry Andric	Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4.1 release.
102385d60e68SDimitry Andric
1024fa114234SWarner Losh20140508:
1025fa114234SWarner Losh	We bogusly installed src.opts.mk in /usr/share/mk. This file should
1026fa114234SWarner Losh	be removed to avoid issues in the future (and has been added to
1027fa114234SWarner Losh	ObsoleteFiles.inc).
1028fa114234SWarner Losh
1029a46954e2SWarner Losh20140505:
1030a46954e2SWarner Losh	/etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the
1031a46954e2SWarner Losh	past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old
1032a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this
1033a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf
1034a46954e2SWarner Losh	(which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the
1035a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual
103659a24370SWarner Losh	directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that.
1037a46954e2SWarner Losh	Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios,
103855b76981SWarner Losh	other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of
103955b76981SWarner Losh	temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld
104059a24370SWarner Losh	as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this
104159a24370SWarner Losh	setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree.
1042a46954e2SWarner Losh
1043bd871f14SWarner Losh	One side effect of all this cleaning up is that bsd.compiler.mk
1044bd871f14SWarner Losh	is no longer implicitly included by bsd.own.mk. If you wish to
1045bd871f14SWarner Losh	use COMPILER_TYPE, you must now explicitly include bsd.compiler.mk
1046bd871f14SWarner Losh	as well.

1052e9aba509SEnji Cooper20140424:
1053e9aba509SEnji Cooper	The knob WITHOUT_VI was added to the base system, which controls
1054e9aba509SEnji Cooper	building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1)
1055e9aba509SEnji Cooper	in order to reorder files share/termcap and didn't build ex(1) as a
1056e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build tool, so building/installing with WITH_VI is highly advised for
1057e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build hosts for older releases.
1058e9aba509SEnji Cooper
1059e9aba509SEnji Cooper	This issue has been fixed in stable/9 and stable/10 in r277022 and
1060e9aba509SEnji Cooper	r276991, respectively.

10642bb08298SWarner Losh	a decade. Please move to using WITH_HESIOD instead or your builds
10652bb08298SWarner Losh	will silently lack HESIOD.

10674c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar20140405:
10684c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
10694c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	of the low-level console. Previously the uart(4) driver prevented
10704c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL
10714c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make
10724c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	changes to the serial console port without having to reboot.
10734c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is
10744c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal
10754c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact.
10764c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the
10774c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to
1078086036aaSMarcel Moolenaar	preserve the previous behaviour. E.g:
10794c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	    ttyu0  "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"  vt100  on  secure

1088a9fd2218SWarner Losh	dts files not being supported by the BSDL dtc compiler. You will need
1089a9fd2218SWarner Losh	to rebuild your kernel toolchain to pick up the new compiler. Core dumps
1090a9fd2218SWarner Losh	may result while building dtb files during a kernel build if you fail
1091a9fd2218SWarner Losh	to do so. Set WITHOUT_GPL_DTC if you require the BSDL compiler.

11009f23d19aSDimitry Andric20140212:
11019f23d19aSDimitry Andric	An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
11029f23d19aSDimitry Andric	This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built
11039f23d19aSDimitry Andric	against the previous version of libc++ to crash.  The incompatibility
11049f23d19aSDimitry Andric	has now been fixed, but any C++ applications or shared libraries built
11059f23d19aSDimitry Andric	between r261283 and r261801 should be recompiled.

11085e4b8b0dSXin LI	OpenSSH will now ignore errors caused by kernel lacking of Capsicum
11095e4b8b0dSXin LI	capability mode support.  Please note that enabling the feature in

11125e4b8b0dSXin LI20140131:
11135e4b8b0dSXin LI	OpenSSH is now built with sandbox support, and will use sandbox as
11145e4b8b0dSXin LI	the default privilege separation method.  This requires Capsicum

11182e503d34SKai Wang	The libelf and libdwarf libraries have been updated to newer
11192e503d34SKai Wang	versions from upstream. Shared library version numbers for
11202e503d34SKai Wang	these two libraries were bumped. Any ports or binaries
11212e503d34SKai Wang	requiring these two libraries should be recompiled.

1124d7efee23SJulio Merino20140110:
1125d7efee23SJulio Merino	If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile
1126d7efee23SJulio Merino	instead of providing an explicit one, this would prevent such
1127d7efee23SJulio Merino	Makefile from providing its own Kyuafile in the future during
1128d7efee23SJulio Merino	NO_CLEAN builds.  This has been fixed in the Makefiles but manual
1129d7efee23SJulio Merino	intervention is needed to clean an objdir if you use NO_CLEAN:
1130d7efee23SJulio Merino	  # find /usr/obj -name Kyuafile | xargs rm -f

11322773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk20131213:
11332773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The behavior of gss_pseudo_random() for the krb5 mechanism
11342773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	has changed, for applications requesting a longer random string
11352773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.
11362773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	In particular, the random string produced from a session key of
11372773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	enctype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 or aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 will
11382773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	be different at the 17th octet and later, after this change.
11392773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The counter used in the PRF+ construction is now encoded as a
11402773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	big-endian integer in accordance with RFC 4402.
11412773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1100004.

1144e01d128aSJulio Merino	The WITHOUT_ATF build knob has been removed and its functionality
1145e01d128aSJulio Merino	has been subsumed into the more generic WITHOUT_TESTS.  If you were
1146e01d128aSJulio Merino	using the former to disable the build of the ATF libraries, you
1147e01d128aSJulio Merino	should change your settings to use the latter.

1151b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	NetBSD.  The output is generally the same, but may vary
1152b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	slightly.  If you found you need identical output adding
1153b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	"-F freebsd9" to the command line should do the trick.  For the

117084b354cbSHiroki Sato	The rc.d/jail script has been updated to support jail(8)
117184b354cbSHiroki Sato	configuration file.  The "jail_<jname>_*" rc.conf(5) variables
117284b354cbSHiroki Sato	for per-jail configuration are automatically converted to
117384b354cbSHiroki Sato	/var/run/jail.<jname>.conf before the jail(8) utility is invoked.
117484b354cbSHiroki Sato	This is transparently backward compatible.  See below about some
117584b354cbSHiroki Sato	incompatibilities and rc.conf(5) manual page for more details.
117684b354cbSHiroki Sato
117784b354cbSHiroki Sato	These variables are now deprecated in favor of jail(8) configuration
117884b354cbSHiroki Sato	file.  One can use "rc.d/jail config <jname>" command to generate
117984b354cbSHiroki Sato	a jail(8) configuration file in /var/run/jail.<jname>.conf without
118084b354cbSHiroki Sato	running the jail(8) utility.   The default pathname of the
118184b354cbSHiroki Sato	configuration file is /etc/jail.conf and can be specified by
118284b354cbSHiroki Sato	using $jail_conf or $jail_<jname>_conf variables.
118384b354cbSHiroki Sato
118484b354cbSHiroki Sato	Please note that jail_devfs_ruleset accepts an integer at

11882d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav20130930:
11892d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav	BIND has been removed from the base system.  If all you need
11902d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav	is a local resolver, simply enable and start the local_unbound
11912d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav	service instead.  Otherwise, several versions of BIND are
11928a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	available in the ports tree.   The dns/bind99 port is one example.
11938a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues
11948a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	With this change, nslookup(1) and dig(1) are no longer in the base
1195edc144a1SCraig Rodrigues	system.  Users should instead use host(1) and drill(1) which are
11968a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	in the base system.  Alternatively, nslookup and dig can
11978a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	be obtained by installing the dns/bind-tools port.

1199665751ecSGlen Barber20130916:
1200665751ecSGlen Barber	With the addition of unbound(8), a new unbound user is now
1201665751ecSGlen Barber	required during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to

1204bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav20130911:
1205bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	OpenSSH is now built with DNSSEC support, and will by default
1206bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	silently trust signed SSHFP records.  This can be controlled with
1207bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	the VerifyHostKeyDNS client configuration setting.  DNSSEC support
1208bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	can be disabled entirely with the WITHOUT_LDNS option in src.conf.

1210d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall20130906:
1211d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	The GNU Compiler Collection and C++ standard library (libstdc++)
1212d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	are no longer built by default on platforms where clang is the system
1213d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	compiler.  You can enable them with the WITH_GCC and WITH_GNUCXX

12164877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek20130905:
12172057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	The PROCDESC kernel option is now part of the GENERIC kernel
12182057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	configuration and is required for the rwhod(8) to work.
12192057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	If you are using custom kernel configuration, you should include
12202057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	'options PROCDESC'.
12212057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek
12222057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek20130905:
12234877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	The API and ABI related to the Capsicum framework was modified
12244877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	in backward incompatible way. The userland libraries and programs
12254877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	have to be recompiled to work with the new kernel. This includes the
12264877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	following libraries and programs, but the whole buildworld is
12274877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	advised: libc, libprocstat, dhclient, tcpdump, hastd, hastctl,
12284877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	kdump, procstat, rwho, rwhod, uniq.

1230c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney20130903:
1231c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney	AES-NI intrinsic support has been added to gcc.  The AES-NI module
1232c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney	has been updated to use this support.  A new gcc is required to build
1233c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney	the aesni module on both i386 and amd64.

123546be218dSDavid E. O'Brien20130821:
123646be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	The PADLOCK_RNG and RDRAND_RNG kernel options are now devices.
123746be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	Thus "device padlock_rng" and "device rdrand_rng" should be
123846be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	used instead of "options PADLOCK_RNG" & "options RDRAND_RNG".

12400ff204bbSPeter Wemm20130813:
12410ff204bbSPeter Wemm	WITH_ICONV has been split into two feature sets.  WITH_ICONV now
12420ff204bbSPeter Wemm	enables just the iconv* functionality and is now on by default.
12430ff204bbSPeter Wemm	WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT enables the libiconv api and link time
1244a1ff7af0SPedro F. Giffuni	compatibility.  Set WITHOUT_ICONV to build the old way.
12450dc59c0fSPeter Wemm	If you have been using WITH_ICONV before, you will very likely
12460dc59c0fSPeter Wemm	need to turn on WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT.
12470ff204bbSPeter Wemm
1248ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato20130806:
1249c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	INVARIANTS option now enables DEBUG for code with OpenSolaris and
1250c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	Illumos origin, including ZFS.  If you have INVARIANTS in your
1251c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	kernel configuration, then there is no need to set DEBUG or ZFS_DEBUG
1252c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	explicitly.
1253c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	DEBUG used to enable witness(9) tracking of OpenSolaris (mostly ZFS)
1254c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	locks if WITNESS option was set.  Because that generated a lot of
1255c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	witness(9) reports and all of them were believed to be false
1256c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	positives, this is no longer done.  New option OPENSOLARIS_WITNESS
1257c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	can be used to achieve the previous behavior.
1258c319ea15SAndriy Gapon
1259c319ea15SAndriy Gapon20130806:
1260ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	Timer values in IPv6 data structures now use time_uptime instead
1261ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	of time_second.  Although this is not a user-visible functional
1262ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	change, userland utilities which directly use them---ndp(8),
1263ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	rtadvd(8), and rtsold(8) in the base system---need to be updated
1264ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	to r253970 or later.
1265ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato
12669d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker20130802:
12679d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	find -delete can now delete the pathnames given as arguments,
12689d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	instead of only files found below them or if the pathname did
12699d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	not contain any slashes. Formerly, the following error message
12709d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	would result:
12719d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker
12729d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	find: -delete: <path>: relative path potentially not safe
12739d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker
12749d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	Deleting the pathnames given as arguments can be prevented
12759d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	without error messages using -mindepth 1 or by changing
12769d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	directory and passing "." as argument to find. This works in the
12779d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	old as well as the new version of find.
12789d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker
1279663dea3dSAndriy Gapon20130726:
1280663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	Behavior of devfs rules path matching has been changed.
1281663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	Pattern is now always matched against fully qualified devfs
1282663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	path and slash characters must be explicitly matched by
1283663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	slashes in pattern (FNM_PATHNAME). Rulesets involving devfs
1284663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	subdirectories must be reviewed.
1285663dea3dSAndriy Gapon
128646e95f64SAndrew Turner20130716:
128746e95f64SAndrew Turner	The default ARM ABI has changed to the ARM EABI. The old ABI is
128846e95f64SAndrew Turner	incompatible with the ARM EABI and all programs and modules will
128946e95f64SAndrew Turner	need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
129046e95f64SAndrew Turner
129146e95f64SAndrew Turner	To keep using the old ABI ensure the WITHOUT_ARM_EABI knob is set.
129246e95f64SAndrew Turner
129346e95f64SAndrew Turner	NOTE: Support for the old ABI will be removed in the future and

1332ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty20130516:
1333ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	Use bmake by default.
1334ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via
1335ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	-DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old
1336ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE.
1337ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty
1338ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command
1339ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the
1340ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	command line.  Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer
1341ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent
1342ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	behavior in parallel build.

13755ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker	and socketpair(2). Software, in particular Kerberos, may
13765ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker	automatically detect and use these during building. The resulting
13775ad7e649SJilles Tjoelker	binaries will not work on older kernels.

13833a45b478SKenneth D. Merry20130304:
138423d44ab5SDavide Italiano	Recent commits to callout(9) changed the size of struct callout,
138523d44ab5SDavide Italiano	so the KBI is probably heavily disturbed. Also, some functions
138623d44ab5SDavide Italiano	in callout(9)/sleep(9)/sleepqueue(9)/condvar(9) KPIs were replaced
138723d44ab5SDavide Italiano	by macros. Every kernel module using it won't load, so rebuild
138823d44ab5SDavide Italiano	is requested.
138923d44ab5SDavide Italiano
13903a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	The ctl device has been re-enabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64,
13913a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	but does not initialize by default (because of the new CTL_DISABLE
13923a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	option) to save memory.  To re-enable it, remove the CTL_DISABLE
13933a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	option from the kernel config file or set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0
13943a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	in /boot/loader.conf.

1396fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd20130301:
1397fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	The ctl device has been disabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64.
1398fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	This was done due to the extra memory being allocated at system
1399fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	initialisation time by the ctl driver which was only used if
1400fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	a CAM target device was created.  This makes a FreeBSD system
1401fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	unusable on 128MB or less of RAM.

14112dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed
14122dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch.
14132dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default,
14142dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild

14162dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan
1417fe06cae7SBrooks Davis20130121:
1418fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	Due to the use of the new -l option to install(1) during build
1419fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	and install, you must take care not to directly set the INSTALL
1420fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	make variable in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf, or on the
14218c5836c3SEitan Adler	command line.  If you wish to use the -C flag for all installs
1422fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	you may be able to add INSTALL+=-C to /etc/make.conf or
1423fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	/etc/src.conf.
1424fe06cae7SBrooks Davis
1425f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis20130118:
1426f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an
1427f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	argument that is a file or path to append logs to.  In the
1428f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line
1429f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	and the command line contained at least two files and a target
1430f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	directory the first file will have logs appended to it.  The -M
14314cf5de80SGlen Barber	option served little practical purpose in the last decade so its
14324cf5de80SGlen Barber	use is expected to be extremely rare.

1457b91dc775SHiroki Sato20121117:
1458b91dc775SHiroki Sato	The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now
1459b91dc775SHiroki Sato	filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via
1460b91dc775SHiroki Sato	sysctl or routing socket.  This means the KAME-specific embedded scope
1461b91dc775SHiroki Sato	id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application.
1462b91dc775SHiroki Sato	This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid.
1463b91dc775SHiroki Sato	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025.
1464b91dc775SHiroki Sato
14655b6478b0SBrooks Davis20121105:
14665b6478b0SBrooks Davis	On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default.
14675b6478b0SBrooks Davis	This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang
14685b6478b0SBrooks Davis	and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++,
14695b6478b0SBrooks Davis	and /usr/bin/cpp.  To disable this behavior and revert to building
1470da0e842aSWarner Losh	with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC. Really old versions
1471da0e842aSWarner Losh	of current may need to bootstrap WITHOUT_CLANG first if the clang
1472da0e842aSWarner Losh	build fails (its compatibility window doesn't extend to the 9 stable
1473da0e842aSWarner Losh	branch point).

14798f134647SGleb Smirnoff20121023:
1480cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	The ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option has been removed and
1481cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	split into SOCKET_SEND_COW and SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP.
1482cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	NB: SOCKET_SEND_COW uses the VM page based copy-on-write
1483cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	mechanism which is not safe and may result in kernel crashes.
1484cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	NB: The SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP mechanism is useless as no current
1485cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	driver supports disposeable external page sized mbuf storage.
1486cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	Proper replacements for both zero-copy mechanisms are under
1487cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	consideration and will eventually lead to complete removal
1488cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	of the two kernel options.

15792d9cf57eSMartin Matuska20120611:
15802d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged to -HEAD.
15812d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
15822d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
15832d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
15842d9cf57eSMartin Matuska	pools. The first read-only compatible "feature flag" for ZFS pools

1590d1675e38SJason Evans20120417:
1591d1675e38SJason Evans	The malloc(3) implementation embedded in libc now uses sources imported
1592d1675e38SJason Evans	as contrib/jemalloc.  The most disruptive API change is to
1593d1675e38SJason Evans	/etc/malloc.conf.  If your system has an old-style /etc/malloc.conf,
1594d1675e38SJason Evans	delete it prior to installworld, and optionally re-create it using the
1595d1675e38SJason Evans	new format after rebooting.  See malloc.conf(5) for details
1596d1675e38SJason Evans	(specifically the TUNING section and the "opt.*" entries in the MALLCTL

159984db023eSJuli Mallett20120328:
160084db023eSJuli Mallett	Big-endian MIPS TARGET_ARCH values no longer end in "eb".  mips64eb
160184db023eSJuli Mallett	is now spelled mips64.  mipsn32eb is now spelled mipsn32.  mipseb is
160284db023eSJuli Mallett	now spelled mips.  This is to aid compatibility with third-party
160384db023eSJuli Mallett	software that expects this naming scheme in uname(3).  Little-endian
1604474dbfb7SWarner Losh	settings are unchanged. If you are updating a big-endian mips64 machine
1605474dbfb7SWarner Losh	from before this change, you may need to set MACHINE_ARCH=mips64 in
1606474dbfb7SWarner Losh	your environment before the new build system will recognize your machine.

1612c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub20120229:
1613c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	Now unix domain sockets behave "as expected" on	nullfs(5). Previously
1614c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	nullfs(5) did not pass through all behaviours to the underlying layer,
1615c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	as a result if we bound to a socket on the lower layer we could connect
1616c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	only to the lower path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect
1617c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	only to	the upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the
1618c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	lower and the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.

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
16935ad05815SWarner Losh	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
16945ad05815SWarner Losh	upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
16955ad05815SWarner Losh	do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
16965ad05815SWarner Losh	and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try this
16975ad05815SWarner Losh	approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade.  Since
16985ad05815SWarner Losh	the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgade from
16995ad05815SWarner Losh	anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
17005ad05815SWarner Losh	last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's
17015ad05815SWarner Losh	an exception.
1702081ff8acSDoug Barton
17036eeab389SWarner Losh	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before
1704da0e842aSWarner Losh	installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell
1705da0e842aSWarner Losh	around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your
1706da0e842aSWarner Losh	starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade.
1707da0e842aSWarner Losh
17089c80b8aaSWarner Losh	This file should be read as a log of events. When a later event changes
17099c80b8aaSWarner Losh	information of a prior event, the prior event should not be deleted.
17109c80b8aaSWarner Losh	Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be
17119c80b8aaSWarner Losh	placed in the old entry. Readers of this file should also sanity check
17129c80b8aaSWarner Losh	older entries before relying on them blindly. Authors of new entries
17139c80b8aaSWarner Losh	should write them with this in mind.

17158fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
17168fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
17178fc25799SMartin Matuska	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
17188fc25799SMartin Matuska	these two steps:
17198fc25799SMartin Matuska
17208fc25799SMartin Matuska	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
17218fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
17228fc25799SMartin Matuska
17238fc25799SMartin Matuska	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
17248fc25799SMartin Matuska
17258fc25799SMartin Matuska	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first
172672ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
172772ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0"
17288fc25799SMartin Matuska
17298fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.

1731dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	To build a kernel
1732dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	-----------------
1733ba01eb20SWarner Losh	If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
17341cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
17351cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
17361cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien
17371cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	make kernel-toolchain

17412e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	To test a kernel once
17422e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	---------------------
17432e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
17442e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
17452e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	debugging information) run
17462e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
17472e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	nextboot -k testkernel
17482e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger
1749ba01eb20SWarner Losh	To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1750ba01eb20SWarner Losh	--------------------------------------------------------------
1751456b5dd8SWarner Losh	This assumes you are already running a CURRENT system.  Replace
17520fbd2da9SKen Smith	${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1753456b5dd8SWarner Losh	"arm", "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", "powerpc", "mips", etc).

1816ba26da8eSWarner Losh
1817fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1818fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
1819fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1820fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1821fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
1822ba26da8eSWarner Losh
18231dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
18241dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
18251dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
18261dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
18271dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.
18281dece4a9SWarner Losh
1829134d2e86SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1830134d2e86SWarner Losh	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1831134d2e86SWarner Losh	system on reboot.
1832134d2e86SWarner Losh
1833ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1834ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		fsck -p
1835ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -u /
1836ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -a
18376586253aSWarner Losh		cd src
183847d0d01fSWarner Losh		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
1839f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1840f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1841ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh
1842a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
1843a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
1844a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
1845a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
1846a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
184750e8eca6SDoug Barton	for potential gotchas.  The -U option is also useful to consider.
184850e8eca6SDoug Barton	See mergemaster(8) for more information.
1849a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh
1850835284beSWarner Losh	[5] Usually this step is a noop.  However, from time to time
1851835284beSWarner Losh	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
1852835284beSWarner Losh	step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.  You may need to
1853835284beSWarner Losh	install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make
1854835284beSWarner Losh	install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
185520e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430.
1856835284beSWarner Losh
185794877c06SAlexander Leidinger	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
185894877c06SAlexander Leidinger	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
185994877c06SAlexander Leidinger	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.
186094877c06SAlexander Leidinger
1861456b5dd8SWarner Losh	[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to
1862456b5dd8SWarner Losh	do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in
1863456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your kernel.  Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is
1864456b5dd8SWarner Losh	hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is
1865456b5dd8SWarner Losh	required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.  And so on
1866456b5dd8SWarner Losh	for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7.
1867c74fe6afSWarner Losh
1868e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
1869e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	last time you updated your kernel config file.
1870e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
187121c075eaSWarner Losh	[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
1872e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	cvs prune empty directories.
1873e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1874e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
1875e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
1876e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
1877e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1878e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
1879e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
1880e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	warn if it is improperly defined.
