These features attempt to detect incorrect use of 15456b5dd8SWarner Losh system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity 16456b5dd8SWarner Losh checking and fail stop semantics. They also substantially impact 17456b5dd8SWarner Losh system performance. If you want to do performance measurement, 18456b5dd8SWarner Losh benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off. This 19456b5dd8SWarner Losh includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc 20456b5dd8SWarner Losh debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the 21456b5dd8SWarner Losh kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build 22456b5dd8SWarner Losh machines to maximize performance. (To disable malloc debugging, run 236bea5c3cSTom Rhodes ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf.) 24efc06131SSam Leffler 25*e4f64803SWarner Losh20110103: 26*e4f64803SWarner Losh If you are trying to run make universe on a -stable system, and you get 27*e4f64803SWarner Losh the following warning: 28*e4f64803SWarner Losh"Makefile", line 356: "Target architecture for i386/conf/GENERIC unknown. config(8) likely too old." 29*e4f64803SWarner Losh or something similar to it, then you must upgrade your -stable system 30*e4f64803SWarner Losh to 8.2-Release or newer (really, any time after r210146 7/15/2010 in 31*e4f64803SWarner Losh stable/8) or build the config from the latest stable/8 branch and 32*e4f64803SWarner Losh install it on your system. 33*e4f64803SWarner Losh 34*e4f64803SWarner Losh Prior to this date, building a current universe on 8-stable system from 35*e4f64803SWarner Losh between 7/15/2010 and 1/2/2011 would result in a weird shell parsing 36*e4f64803SWarner Losh error in the first kernel build phase. A new config on those old systems 37*e4f64803SWarner Losh will fix that problem for older versions of -current. 38*e4f64803SWarner Losh 3939bc9de5SLawrence Stewart20101228: 4039bc9de5SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has been modified to allow Khelp modules to interact with 4139bc9de5SLawrence Stewart it via helper hook points and store per-connection data in the TCP 4239bc9de5SLawrence Stewart control block. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900029. User space tools that 4339bc9de5SLawrence Stewart rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to 4439bc9de5SLawrence Stewart be recompiled. 4539bc9de5SLawrence Stewart 46efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl20101114: 47efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control support has been 48efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl added to mii(4) and bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along 49efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy() have been converted 50efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl to take advantage of it instead of using custom implementations. This 51efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl means that these drivers now no longer unconditionally advertise 52efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl support for flow control but only do so if flow control is a selected 53efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl media option. This was implemented in the generic support that way in 54efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl order to allow flow control to be switched on and off via ifconfig(8) 55efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with the PHY specific default to typically off in order to protect 56efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl from unwanted effects. Consequently, if you used flow control with 57efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl one of the above mentioned drivers you now need to explicitly enable 58efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl it, for example via: 59efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media auto mediaopt flowcontrol 60efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 61efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Along with the above mentioned changes generic support for setting 62efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 1000baseT master mode also has been added and brgphy(4), ciphy(4), 63efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy(4) have been converted to take 64efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl advantage of it. This means that these drivers now no longer take the 65efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl link0 parameter for selecting master mode but the master media option 66efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl has to be used instead, for example like in the following: 67efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master 68efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 69efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Selection of master mode now is also available with all other PHY 70efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl drivers supporting 1000baseT. 71efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 72dbc42409SLawrence Stewart20101111: 73dbc42409SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has received a significant update to add support for 74dbc42409SLawrence Stewart modularised congestion control and generally improve the clarity of 75dbc42409SLawrence Stewart congestion control decisions. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025. User 76dbc42409SLawrence Stewart space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. 77dbc42409SLawrence Stewart sockstat) need to be recompiled. 78dbc42409SLawrence Stewart 79fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow20101002: 80fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow The man(1) utility has been replaced by a new version that no longer 81fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow uses /etc/manpath.config. Please consult man.conf(5) for how to 82fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow migrate local entries to the new format. 83fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow 84337299c6SEd Maste20100928: 85337299c6SEd Maste The copyright strings printed by login(1) and sshd(8) at the time of a 86337299c6SEd Maste new connection have been removed to follow other operating systems and 87337299c6SEd Maste upstream sshd. 88337299c6SEd Maste 89f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon20100915: 90f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon A workaround for a fixed ld bug has been removed in kernel code, 91f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon so make sure that your system ld is built from sources after 92130a0815SAndriy Gapon revision 210245 from 2010-07-19 (r211583 if building head kernel 93130a0815SAndriy Gapon on stable/8, r211584 for stable/7; both from 2010-08-21). 94130a0815SAndriy Gapon A symptom of incorrect ld version is different addresses for 95130a0815SAndriy Gapon set_pcpu section and __start_set_pcpu symbol in kernel and/or modules. 96f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon 97d69eb520SRui Paulo20100913: 98d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_prefer variable in rc.conf(5) has been split into 99d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato $ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces. 100d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 101d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined 102d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato address selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8). A value 103d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato "ipv4_prefer", "ipv6_prefer" or "AUTO" can be specified. The 104d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato default is "AUTO". 105d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 106d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces specifies whether IFDISABLED 107d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato flag (see an entry of 20090926) is set on an interface with no 108d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line. The default is "NO" for 109d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato security reason. If you want IPv6 link-local address on all 110d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato interfaces by default, set this to "YES". 111d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 112d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The old ipv6_prefer="YES" is equivalent to 113d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" and 114d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer". 115d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 116d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato20100913: 117d69eb520SRui Paulo DTrace has grown support for userland tracing. Due to this, DTrace is 118d69eb520SRui Paulo now i386 and amd64 only. 119d69eb520SRui Paulo dtruss(1) is now installed by default on those systems and a new 120d69eb520SRui Paulo kernel module is needed for userland tracing: fasttrap. 121d69eb520SRui Paulo No changes to your kernel config file are necessary to enable 122d69eb520SRui Paulo userland tracing, but you might consider adding 'STRIP=' and 123d69eb520SRui Paulo 'CFLAGS+=-fno-omit-frame-pointer' to your make.conf if you want 124d69eb520SRui Paulo to have informative userland stack traces in DTrace (ustack). 125d69eb520SRui Paulo 12640650455SRui Paulo20100725: 12740650455SRui Paulo The acpi_aiboost(4) driver has been removed in favor of the new 12840650455SRui Paulo aibs(4) driver. You should update your kernel configuration file. 12940650455SRui Paulo 1304dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan20100722: 1314dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan BSD grep has been imported to the base system and it is built by 1324dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan default. It is completely BSD licensed, highly GNU-compatible, uses 1334dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan less memory than its GNU counterpart and has a small codebase. 1344dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan However, it is slower than its GNU counterpart, which is mostly 1354dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan noticeable for larger searches, for smaller ones it is measurable 1364dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan but not significant. The reason is complex, the most important factor 1374dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan is that we lack a modern and efficient regex library and GNU 1384dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan overcomes this by optimizing the searches internally. Future work 1394dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan on improving the regex performance is planned, for the meantime, 1404dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan users that need better performance, can build GNU grep instead by 1414dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan setting the WITH_GNU_GREP knob. 1422965a453SKip Macy 1438fc25799SMartin Matuska20100713: 144c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn Due to the import of powerpc64 support, all existing powerpc kernel 145c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn configuration files must be updated with a machine directive like this: 146c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn machine powerpc powerpc 147c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 148c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn In addition, an updated config(8) is required to build powerpc kernels 149c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn after this change. 150c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 151c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn20100713: 1528fc25799SMartin Matuska A new version of ZFS (version 15) has been merged to -HEAD. 1538fc25799SMartin Matuska This version uses a python library for the following subcommands: 1548fc25799SMartin Matuska zfs allow, zfs unallow, zfs groupspace, zfs userspace. 1558fc25799SMartin Matuska For full functionality of these commands the following port must 1568fc25799SMartin Matuska be installed: sysutils/py-zfs 1578fc25799SMartin Matuska 1582965a453SKip Macy20100429: 1592965a453SKip Macy 'vm_page's are now hashed by physical address to an array of mutexes. 1602965a453SKip Macy Currently this is only used to serialize access to hold_count. Over 1612965a453SKip Macy time the page queue mutex will be peeled away. This changes the size 1622965a453SKip Macy of pmap on every architecture. And requires all callers of vm_page_hold 1632965a453SKip Macy and vm_page_unhold to be updated. 1642965a453SKip Macy 16521edb039SAlexander Leidinger20100402: 16621edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there 16721edb039SAlexander Leidinger are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also 16821edb039SAlexander Leidinger affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the 16921edb039SAlexander Leidinger compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions 17021edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF=yes"). 17121edb039SAlexander Leidinger When WITH_CTF was specified there before this was silently ignored, 17221edb039SAlexander Leidinger so make sure that WITH_CTF is not used in places which could lead 17321edb039SAlexander Leidinger to unwanted behavior. 17421edb039SAlexander Leidinger 175841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn20100311: 176841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn The kernel option COMPAT_IA32 has been replaced with COMPAT_FREEBSD32 177841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn to allow 32-bit compatibility on non-x86 platforms. All kernel 178841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn configurations on amd64 and ia64 platforms using these options must 179841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn be modified accordingly. 180841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn 181279d8efeSEd Schouten20100113: 182279d8efeSEd Schouten The utmp user accounting database has been replaced with utmpx, 183279d8efeSEd Schouten the user accounting interface standardized by POSIX. 184279d8efeSEd Schouten Unfortunately the semantics of utmp and utmpx don't match, 185279d8efeSEd Schouten making it practically impossible to support both interfaces. 186279d8efeSEd Schouten The user accounting database is used by tools like finger(1), 187279d8efeSEd Schouten last(1), talk(1), w(1) and ac(8). 188279d8efeSEd Schouten 189279d8efeSEd Schouten All applications in the base system use utmpx. This means only 190279d8efeSEd Schouten local binaries (e.g. from the ports tree) may still use these 191279d8efeSEd Schouten utmp database files. These applications must be rebuilt to make 192279d8efeSEd Schouten use of utmpx. 193279d8efeSEd Schouten 194279d8efeSEd Schouten After the system has been upgraded, it is safe to remove the old 195279d8efeSEd Schouten log files (/var/run/utmp, /var/log/lastlog and /var/log/wtmp*), 1965ab7f1fcSEd Schouten assuming their contents is of no importance anymore. Old wtmp 1975ab7f1fcSEd Schouten databases can only be used by last(1) and ac(8) after they have 1985ab7f1fcSEd Schouten been converted to the new format using wtmpcvt(1). 199279d8efeSEd Schouten 200f7829d0dSAttilio Rao20100108: 201f7829d0dSAttilio Rao Introduce the kernel thread "deadlock resolver" (which can be enabled 202f7829d0dSAttilio Rao via the DEADLKRES option, see NOTES for more details) and the 203f7829d0dSAttilio Rao sleepq_type() function for sleepqueues. 204f7829d0dSAttilio Rao 205f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO20091202: 206f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO The rc.firewall and rc.firewall6 were unified, and 207f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO rc.firewall6 and rc.d/ip6fw were removed. 208f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO According to the removal of rc.d/ip6fw, ipv6_firewall_* rc 209f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO variables are obsoleted.

This means 2244b2361f8SEd Schouten that the /etc/ttys file needs to be updated to ensure correct 2254b2361f8SEd Schouten operation of applications on the console. 226e42fc368SEd Schouten 227e42fc368SEd Schouten The terminal emulation style can be toggled per window by using 2284b2361f8SEd Schouten vidcontrol(1)'s -T flag.

Adding "device iwnfw" 24863b49c2bSRui Paulo to the kernel configuration file means including all three firmware 24963b49c2bSRui Paulo images inside the kernel. If you want to include just the one for 25063b49c2bSRui Paulo your wireless card, use the the devices iwn4965fw, iwn5000fw or 25163b49c2bSRui Paulo iwn5150fw. 25263b49c2bSRui Paulo 2532e77c5abSHiroki Sato20090926: 2542e77c5abSHiroki Sato The rc.d/network_ipv6, IPv6 configuration script has been integrated 2552e77c5abSHiroki Sato into rc.d/netif. The changes are the following: 2562e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2572e77c5abSHiroki Sato 1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF 2582e77c5abSHiroki Sato for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used. 2592e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head. 2602e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2612e77c5abSHiroki Sato Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not 2622e77c5abSHiroki Sato understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases. 2632e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2642e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but 2652e77c5abSHiroki Sato they are obsolete. 2662e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2672e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and 2682e77c5abSHiroki Sato "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead. 2692e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2702e77c5abSHiroki Sato If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and 2712e77c5abSHiroki Sato all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the 2722e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility. 2732e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2742e77c5abSHiroki Sato 3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6 2752e77c5abSHiroki Sato functionality of interfaces with no corresponding 2762e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag, 2772e77c5abSHiroki Sato and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8) 2782e77c5abSHiroki Sato is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details). 2792e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the 2802e77c5abSHiroki Sato disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by 2812e77c5abSHiroki Sato using ifconfig(8) like: 2822e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2832e77c5abSHiroki Sato ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled 2842e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2852e77c5abSHiroki Sato If YES, the default address selection policy is set as 2862e77c5abSHiroki Sato IPv6-preferred. 2872e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2882e77c5abSHiroki Sato The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO. 2892e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2902e77c5abSHiroki Sato 4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages, 2912e77c5abSHiroki Sato define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8) 2922e77c5abSHiroki Sato scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes 2932e77c5abSHiroki Sato UP.

As long as no more than 16 groups per process are used, 381456b5dd8SWarner Losh no changes should be visible.

Recompiling will work around this, but 384456b5dd8SWarner Losh applications should be modified to use dynamically allocated storage 385456b5dd8SWarner Losh for group arrays as POSIX.1-2008 does not cap an implementation's 386456b5dd8SWarner Losh number of supported groups at NGROUPS_MAX+1 as previous versions did. 387838d9858SBrooks Davis 388456b5dd8SWarner Losh NFS and portalfs mounts may also be affected as the list of groups is 389456b5dd8SWarner Losh truncated to 16. Users of NFS who use more than 16 groups, should 390456b5dd8SWarner Losh take care that negative group permissions are not used on the exported 391456b5dd8SWarner Losh file systems as they will not be reliable unless a GSSAPI based 392456b5dd8SWarner Losh authentication method is used. 393838d9858SBrooks Davis 394651175c9SAttilio Rao20090616: 395456b5dd8SWarner Losh The compiling option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS has been introduced.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 48433cde130SBruce M Simpson The implementation of SSM within FreeBSD's IPv6 stack closely 48533cde130SBruce M Simpson follows the IPv4 implementation. 48633cde130SBruce M Simpson 48733cde130SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers: 48833cde130SBruce M Simpson 48933cde130SBruce M Simpson * The most important changes are that the ip6_output() and 49033cde130SBruce M Simpson ip6_input() paths no longer take the IN6_MULTI_LOCK, 49133cde130SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 49233cde130SBruce M Simpson 49333cde130SBruce M Simpson * As with the changes to the IPv4 stack to support SSM, filtering 49433cde130SBruce M Simpson of inbound multicast traffic must now be performed by transport 49533cde130SBruce M Simpson protocols within the IPv6 stack. This does not apply to TCP and 49633cde130SBruce M Simpson SCTP, however, it does apply to UDP in IPv6 and raw IPv6. 49733cde130SBruce M Simpson 49833cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KPIs used by IPv6 multicast are similar to those used by 49933cde130SBruce M Simpson the IPv4 stack, with the following differences: 50033cde130SBruce M Simpson * im6o_mc_filter() is analogous to imo_multicast_filter(). 50133cde130SBruce M Simpson * The legacy KAME entry points in6_joingroup and in6_leavegroup() 50233cde130SBruce M Simpson are shimmed to in6_mc_join() and in6_mc_leave() respectively. 50333cde130SBruce M Simpson * IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI() has been deprecated and removed. 50433cde130SBruce M Simpson * IPv6 relies on MLD for the DAD mechanism. KAME's internal KPIs 50533cde130SBruce M Simpson for MLDv1 have an additional 'timer' argument which is used to 50633cde130SBruce M Simpson jitter the initial membership report for the solicited-node 50733cde130SBruce M Simpson multicast membership on-link. 50833cde130SBruce M Simpson * This is not strictly needed for MLDv2, which already jitters 50933cde130SBruce M Simpson its report transmissions. However, the 'timer' argument is 51033cde130SBruce M Simpson preserved in case MLDv1 is active on the interface. 51133cde130SBruce M Simpson 51233cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KAME linked-list based IPv6 membership implementation has 51333cde130SBruce M Simpson been refactored to use a vector similar to that used by the IPv4 51433cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 51533cde130SBruce M Simpson Code which maintains a list of its own multicast memberships 51633cde130SBruce M Simpson internally, e.g. carp, has been updated to reflect the new 51733cde130SBruce M Simpson semantics. 51833cde130SBruce M Simpson 51933cde130SBruce M Simpson * There is a known Lock Order Reversal (LOR) due to in6_setscope() 52033cde130SBruce M Simpson acquiring the IF_AFDATA_LOCK and being called within ip6_output(). 52133cde130SBruce M Simpson Whilst MLDv2 tries to avoid this otherwise benign LOR, it is an 52233cde130SBruce M Simpson implementation constraint which needs to be addressed in HEAD. 52333cde130SBruce M Simpson 52433cde130SBruce M Simpson For application developers: 52533cde130SBruce M Simpson 52633cde130SBruce M Simpson * The changes are broadly similar to those made for the IPv4 52733cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 52833cde130SBruce M Simpson 52933cde130SBruce M Simpson * The use of IPv4 and IPv6 multicast socket options on the same 53033cde130SBruce M Simpson socket, using mapped addresses, HAS NOT been tested or supported. 53133cde130SBruce M Simpson 53233cde130SBruce M Simpson * There are a number of issues with the implementation of various 53333cde130SBruce M Simpson IPv6 multicast APIs which need to be resolved in the API surface 53433cde130SBruce M Simpson before the implementation is fully compatible with KAME userland 53533cde130SBruce M Simpson use, and these are mostly to do with interface index treatment. 53633cde130SBruce M Simpson 53733cde130SBruce M Simpson * The literature available discusses the use of either the delta / ASM 53833cde130SBruce M Simpson API with setsockopt(2)/getsockopt(2), or the full-state / ASM API 53933cde130SBruce M Simpson using setsourcefilter(3)/getsourcefilter(3). For more information 54033cde130SBruce M Simpson please refer to RFC 3768, 'Socket Interface Extensions for 54133cde130SBruce M Simpson Multicast Source Filters'. 54233cde130SBruce M Simpson 54333cde130SBruce M Simpson * Applications which use the published RFC 3678 APIs should be fine. 54433cde130SBruce M Simpson 54533cde130SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators: 54633cde130SBruce M Simpson 54733cde130SBruce M Simpson * The mtest(8) utility has been refactored to support IPv6, in 54833cde130SBruce M Simpson addition to IPv4. Interface addresses are no longer accepted 54933cde130SBruce M Simpson as arguments, their names must be used instead. The utility 55033cde130SBruce M Simpson will map the interface name to its first IPv4 address as 55133cde130SBruce M Simpson returned by getifaddrs(3). 55233cde130SBruce M Simpson 55333cde130SBruce M Simpson * The ifmcstat(8) utility has also been updated to print the MLDv2 55433cde130SBruce M Simpson endpoint state and source filter lists via sysctl(3). 55533cde130SBruce M Simpson 55633cde130SBruce M Simpson * The net.inet6.ip6.mcast.loop sysctl may be tuned to 0 to disable 55733cde130SBruce M Simpson loopback of IPv6 multicast datagrams by default; it defaults to 1 55833cde130SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. Disabling multicast loopback is 55933cde130SBruce M Simpson recommended for optimal system performance. 56033cde130SBruce M Simpson 56133cde130SBruce M Simpson * The IPv6 MROUTING code has been changed to examine this sysctl 56233cde130SBruce M Simpson instead of attempting to perform a group lookup before looping 56333cde130SBruce M Simpson back forwarded datagrams. 56433cde130SBruce M Simpson 56533cde130SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084. 56633cde130SBruce M Simpson 5678b8bf775SRobert Watson20090422: 568131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin Implement low-level Bluetooth HCI API. 569131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800083. 570131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin 5718b8bf775SRobert Watson20090419: 5728b8bf775SRobert Watson The layout of struct malloc_type, used by modules to register new 5738b8bf775SRobert Watson memory allocation types, has changed.

It 6149a07b548SIvan Voras introduces some changes: 6159a07b548SIvan Voras 6169a07b548SIvan Voras MSDOS/EBR: the devices created from MSDOS extended partition entries 6179a07b548SIvan Voras (EBR) can be named differently than with GEOM_MBR and are now symlinks 6189a07b548SIvan Voras to devices with offset-based names. fstabs may need to be modified. 6199a07b548SIvan Voras 6209a07b548SIvan Voras BSD: the "geometry does not match label" warning is harmless in most 6219a07b548SIvan Voras cases but it points to problems in file system misalignment with 6229a07b548SIvan Voras disk geometry. The "c" partition is now implicit, covers the whole 6239a07b548SIvan Voras top-level drive and cannot be (mis)used by users. 6249a07b548SIvan Voras 6259a07b548SIvan Voras General: Kernel dumps are now not allowed to be written to devices 6269a07b548SIvan Voras whose partition types indicate they are meant to be used for file 6279a07b548SIvan Voras systems (or, in case of MSDOS partitions, as something else than 6289a07b548SIvan Voras the "386BSD" type). 6299a07b548SIvan Voras 6309a07b548SIvan Voras Most of these changes date approximately from 200812. 631781d043cSIvan Voras 632443fc317SBruce M Simpson20090319: 6332b78d306SAndrew Thompson The uscanner(4) driver has been removed from the kernel.

The config(5) options for statically 642443fc317SBruce M Simpson compiling this code remain the same, i.e. 'options MROUTING'. 643443fc317SBruce M Simpson 6441df14375SRobert Watson20090315: 6451df14375SRobert Watson Support for the IFF_NEEDSGIANT network interface flag has been 6461df14375SRobert Watson removed, which means that non-MPSAFE network device drivers are no 6471df14375SRobert Watson longer supported. In particular, if_ar, if_sr, and network device 6481df14375SRobert Watson drivers from the old (legacy) USB stack can no longer be built or 6491df14375SRobert Watson used. 6501df14375SRobert Watson 651e667034dSRui Paulo20090313: 6527e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan POSIX.1 Native Language Support (NLS) has been enabled in libc and 6537e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan a bunch of new language catalog files have also been added. 6547e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan This means that some common libc messages are now localized and 6557e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan they depend on the LC_MESSAGES environmental variable. 6567e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan 6577e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan20090313: 658e667034dSRui Paulo The k8temp(4) driver has been renamed to amdtemp(4) since 6598fb1e038SDavid E.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 664d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 665d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers, the most important changes are that the 666d10910e6SBruce M Simpson ip_output() and ip_input() paths no longer take the IN_MULTI_LOCK(), 667d10910e6SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 668d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 669d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transport protocols (UDP, Raw IP) are now responsible for filtering 670d10910e6SBruce M Simpson inbound multicast traffic according to group membership and source 671d10910e6SBruce M Simpson filters. The imo_multicast_filter() KPI exists for this purpose. 672d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transports which do not use multicast (SCTP, TCP) already reject 673d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast by default. Forwarding and receive performance may improve 674d10910e6SBruce M Simpson as a mutex acquisition is no longer needed in the ip_input() 675d10910e6SBruce M Simpson low-level input path. in_addmulti() and in_delmulti() are shimmed 676d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to new KPIs which exist to support SSM in-kernel. 677d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 678d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For application developers, it is recommended that loopback of 679d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast datagrams be disabled for best performance, as this 680d10910e6SBruce M Simpson will still cause the lock to be taken for each looped-back 681d10910e6SBruce M Simpson datagram transmission. The net.inet.ip.mcast.loop sysctl may 682d10910e6SBruce M Simpson be tuned to 0 to disable loopback by default; it defaults to 1 683d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. 684d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 685d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators, to obtain best performance with 686d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast reception and multiple groups, it is always recommended 687d10910e6SBruce M Simpson that a card with a suitably precise hash filter is used. Hash 688d10910e6SBruce M Simpson collisions will still result in the lock being taken within the 689d10910e6SBruce M Simpson transport protocol input path to check group membership. 690d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 691d10910e6SBruce M Simpson If deploying FreeBSD in an environment with IGMP snooping switches, 692d10910e6SBruce M Simpson it is recommended that the net.inet.igmp.sendlocal sysctl remain 693d10910e6SBruce M Simpson enabled; this forces 224.0.0.0/24 group membership to be announced 694d10910e6SBruce M Simpson via IGMP. 695d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 696d10910e6SBruce M Simpson The size of 'struct igmpstat' has changed; netstat needs to be 697d10910e6SBruce M Simpson recompiled to reflect this. 698d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800070. 699d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 700d10910e6SBruce M Simpson20090309: 701a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson libusb20.so.1 is now installed as libusb.so.1 and the ports system 702a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson updated to use it.

This means uart(4) is now the 914f4d811f0SEd Schouten default serial port driver on those platforms as well. 915f4d811f0SEd Schouten 916f4d811f0SEd Schouten To prevent collisions with the sio(4) driver, the uart(4) driver 917f4d811f0SEd Schouten uses different names for its device nodes. This means the 918f4d811f0SEd Schouten onboard serial port will now most likely be called "ttyu0" 919f4d811f0SEd Schouten instead of "ttyd0". You may need to reconfigure applications to 920f4d811f0SEd Schouten use the new device names. 921f4d811f0SEd Schouten 922db96ec0bSEd Schouten When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update 923db96ec0bSEd Schouten /boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel. 924db96ec0bSEd Schouten If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints 925db96ec0bSEd Schouten at the loader prompt: 926db96ec0bSEd Schouten 927db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.at="isa" 928db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" 929db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" 930db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.irq="4" 931db96ec0bSEd Schouten boot -s 932db96ec0bSEd Schouten 933bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar20080609: 934bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar The gpt(8) utility has been removed.

The underlying device 957de570baaSSam Leffler is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are 958de570baaSSam Leffler cloned with ifconfig. This requires changes to rc.conf files. 9595318f840SWarner Losh For example, change: 9605318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" 9615318f840SWarner Losh to 9625318f840SWarner Losh wlans_ath0=wlan0 9635318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" 9640f95e625SWarner Losh see rc.conf(5) for more details. In addition, mergemaster of 9650f95e625SWarner Losh /etc/rc.d is highly recommended. Simultaneous update of userland 9660f95e625SWarner Losh and kernel wouldn't hurt either. 967de570baaSSam Leffler 968de570baaSSam Leffler As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta 969de570baaSSam Leffler modules were merged into the base wlan module. All references 970de570baaSSam Leffler to these modules (e.g. in kernel config files) must be removed. 971de570baaSSam Leffler 972ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim20080408: 973ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim psm(4) has gained write(2) support in native operation level. 974ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim Arbitrary commands can be written to /dev/psm%d and status can 975ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim be read back from it. Therefore, an application is responsible 976ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim for status validation and error recovery. It is a no-op in 977ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim other operation levels. 978ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim 979e4c67b94SJeff Roberson20080312: 980e4c67b94SJeff Roberson Support for KSE threading has been removed from the kernel. To 981e4c67b94SJeff Roberson run legacy applications linked against KSE libmap.conf may 982e4c67b94SJeff Roberson be used. The following libmap.conf may be used to ensure 983e4c67b94SJeff Roberson compatibility with any prior release: 984e4c67b94SJeff Roberson 985e4c67b94SJeff Roberson libpthread.so.1 libthr.so.1 986e4c67b94SJeff Roberson libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2 987e4c67b94SJeff Roberson libkse.so.3 libthr.so.3 988e4c67b94SJeff Roberson 9898775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar20080301: 9908775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar The layout of struct vmspace has changed. This affects libkvm 9918775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar and any executables that link against libkvm and use the 9928775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar kvm_getprocs() function. In particular, but not exclusively, 9938775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar it affects ps(1), fstat(1), pkill(1), systat(1), top(1) and w(1). 9948775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar The effects are minimal, but it's advisable to upgrade world 9958775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar nonetheless. 9968775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar 997df09ebc0SJack F Vogel20080229: 998df09ebc0SJack F Vogel The latest em driver no longer has support in it for the 999df09ebc0SJack F Vogel 82575 adapter, this is now moved to the igb driver. The 1000df09ebc0SJack F Vogel split was done to make new features that are incompatible 1001df09ebc0SJack F Vogel with older hardware easier to do. 1002df09ebc0SJack F Vogel 10031669d8afSAndrew Thompson20080220: 10041669d8afSAndrew Thompson The new geom_lvm(4) geom class has been renamed to geom_linux_lvm(4), 10051669d8afSAndrew Thompson likewise the kernel option is now GEOM_LINUX_LVM. 10061669d8afSAndrew Thompson 10072427fa19SKris Kennaway20080211: 10082427fa19SKris Kennaway The default NFS mount mode has changed from UDP to TCP for 10092427fa19SKris Kennaway increased reliability.

The old fts(3) ABI is preserved 102148aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy through symbol versioning in libc, so third-party binaries 102248aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy using fts(3) should still work, although they will not take 102348aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy advantage of the extended types. At the same time, some 102448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy third-party software might fail to build after this change 102548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy due to unportable assumptions made in its source code about 102648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy fts(3) structure members. Such software should be fixed 102748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy by its vendor or, in the worst case, in the ports tree. 102848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy FreeBSD_version 800015 marks this change for the unlikely 102948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy case that a portable fix is impossible. 103048aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy 103151dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov20080123: 10328015f45cSWarner Losh To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running 103351dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov FreeBSD not older than 6.0-RELEASE. Upgrading to -current 10348015f45cSWarner Losh from 5.x now requires a stop over at RELENG_6 or RELENG_7 systems. 10358015f45cSWarner Losh 1036ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato20071128: 1037ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato The ADAPTIVE_GIANT kernel option has been retired because its 1038ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato functionality is the default now. 1039ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato 1040e393af84SMarius Strobl20071118: 1041e393af84SMarius Strobl The AT keyboard emulation of sunkbd(4) has been turned on 1042e393af84SMarius Strobl by default. In order to make the special symbols of the Sun 1043e393af84SMarius Strobl keyboards driven by sunkbd(4) work under X these now have 1044e393af84SMarius Strobl to be configured the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven 1045e393af84SMarius Strobl by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation), f.e.: 1046e393af84SMarius Strobl 1047e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbLayout" "us" 1048e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbRules" "xorg" 1049e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbSymbols" "pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+us" 1050e393af84SMarius Strobl 105133d3fffaSMarius Strobl20071024: 105233d3fffaSMarius Strobl It has been decided that it is desirable to provide ABI 105333d3fffaSMarius Strobl backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of the 105433d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was 105533d3fffaSMarius Strobl broken with the introduction of PCI domain support (see the 105633d3fffaSMarius Strobl 20070930 entry). Unfortunately, this required the ABI of 105733d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF to be broken again in order to be able to 105833d3fffaSMarius Strobl provide backwards compatibility to the old version of that 105933d3fffaSMarius Strobl IOCTL. Thus consumers of PCIOCGETCONF have to be recompiled 106033d3fffaSMarius Strobl again. As for prominent ports this affects neither pciutils 106133d3fffaSMarius Strobl nor xorg-server this time, the hal port needs to be rebuilt 106233d3fffaSMarius Strobl however. 106333d3fffaSMarius Strobl 10643d461febSJulian Elischer20071020: 10653d461febSJulian Elischer The misnamed kthread_create() and friends have been renamed 10663d461febSJulian Elischer to kproc_create() etc. Many of the callers already 10673d461febSJulian Elischer used kproc_start().. 10683d461febSJulian Elischer I will return kthread_create() and friends in a while 10693d461febSJulian Elischer with implementations that actually create threads, not procs. 10703d461febSJulian Elischer Renaming corresponds with version 800002. 10713d461febSJulian Elischer 1072c15e0967SKen Smith20071010: 1073c15e0967SKen Smith RELENG_7 branched. 1074c15e0967SKen Smith 1075dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshCOMMON ITEMS: 1076dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1077a24eff53SWarner Losh General Notes 1078a24eff53SWarner Losh ------------- 1079456b5dd8SWarner Losh Avoid using make -j when upgrading. While generally safe, there are 1080456b5dd8SWarner Losh sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with 10811733d35cSRuslan Ermilov -j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there 1082456b5dd8SWarner Losh have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This 1083456b5dd8SWarner Losh is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one 1084456b5dd8SWarner Losh that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when 1085456b5dd8SWarner Losh several months have passed on the -current branch). 1086a24eff53SWarner Losh 10875780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 10885780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 1089456b5dd8SWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. To run 1090456b5dd8SWarner Losh your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make 1091456b5dd8SWarner Losh commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details. 10925780f3baSWarner Losh 1093456b5dd8SWarner Losh When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best 1094456b5dd8SWarner Losh to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, 1095456b5dd8SWarner Losh then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade 1096456b5dd8SWarner Losh path, and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try 1097456b5dd8SWarner Losh this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade. 1098081ff8acSDoug Barton 10998fc25799SMartin Matuska ZFS notes 11008fc25799SMartin Matuska --------- 11018fc25799SMartin Matuska When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow 11028fc25799SMartin Matuska these two steps: 11038fc25799SMartin Matuska 11048fc25799SMartin Matuska 1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block 11058fc25799SMartin Matuska (this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld") 11068fc25799SMartin Matuska 11078fc25799SMartin Matuska 2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive 11088fc25799SMartin Matuska 11098fc25799SMartin Matuska The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first 11108fc25799SMartin Matuska partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ad0: 11118fc25799SMartin Matuska "gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0" 11128fc25799SMartin Matuska 11138fc25799SMartin Matuska Non-boot pools do not need these updates. 11148fc25799SMartin Matuska 1115dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 1116dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 1117ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 11181cf0ef11SDavid E.

If in doubt, please track -stable which has 12121dece4a9SWarner Losh much fewer pitfalls. 12131dece4a9SWarner Losh 1214134d2e86SWarner Losh [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you 1215134d2e86SWarner Losh should disable them at this point so they don't crash your 1216134d2e86SWarner Losh system on reboot. 1217134d2e86SWarner Losh 1218ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do 1219ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh fsck -p 1220ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -u / 1221ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -a 12226586253aSWarner Losh cd src 122347d0d01fSWarner Losh adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time 1224f6a0ef01SWarner Losh Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that 1225f6a0ef01SWarner Losh you boot into single user mode to do the installworld. 1226ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh 1227a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step 1228a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 1229a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 1230a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 1231a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 123250e8eca6SDoug Barton for potential gotchas. The -U option is also useful to consider. 123350e8eca6SDoug Barton See mergemaster(8) for more information. 1234a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 1235835284beSWarner Losh [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time 1236835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 1237835284beSWarner Losh step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to 1238835284beSWarner Losh install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make 1239835284beSWarner Losh install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated 1240835284beSWarner Losh from current before 20020224 or from -stable before 20020408. 1241835284beSWarner Losh 124294877c06SAlexander Leidinger [6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries 124394877c06SAlexander Leidinger can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make 124494877c06SAlexander Leidinger sure that no program is using those libraries anymore. 124594877c06SAlexander Leidinger 1246456b5dd8SWarner Losh [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to 1247456b5dd8SWarner Losh do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in 1248456b5dd8SWarner Losh your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is 1249456b5dd8SWarner Losh hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is 1250456b5dd8SWarner Losh required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. And so on 1251456b5dd8SWarner Losh for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7. 1252c74fe6afSWarner Losh 1253e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 1254e5dc5f61SWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. 1255e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 125621c075eaSWarner Losh [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have 1257e5dc5f61SWarner Losh cvs prune empty directories. 1258e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1259e5dc5f61SWarner Losh If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 1260e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 1261e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 1262e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1263e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 1264e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 1265e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 1266dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 1267dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1268f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 12691fc1a0dcSWarner Loshbreakages in tracking -current.
