These features attempt to detect incorrect use of 18456b5dd8SWarner Losh system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity 19456b5dd8SWarner Losh checking and fail stop semantics. They also substantially impact 20456b5dd8SWarner Losh system performance. If you want to do performance measurement, 21456b5dd8SWarner Losh benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off. This 22456b5dd8SWarner Losh includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc 23456b5dd8SWarner Losh debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the 24456b5dd8SWarner Losh kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build 2599e449f2SJason Evans machines to maximize performance. (To completely disable malloc 267d4374f6SDimitry Andric debugging, define WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/src.conf and rebuild 277d4374f6SDimitry Andric world, or to merely disable the most expensive debugging functionality 287d4374f6SDimitry Andric at runtime, run "ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".) 295ad05815SWarner Losh 309065390dSLexi Winter20250918: 31*ea5e50c2SLexi Winter mandoc (including /usr/bin/man) has been moved to a new package, 32*ea5e50c2SLexi Winter FreeBSD-mandoc. If you have the minimal set installed, this package 33*ea5e50c2SLexi Winter will be installed automatically, otherwise you may want to install it. 34*ea5e50c2SLexi Winter 359065390dSLexi Winter Kyua has been moved to the FreeBSD-kyua package, and ATF has been moved 369065390dSLexi Winter to the FreeBSD-atf* packages. If you have FreeBSD-tests installed, 379065390dSLexi Winter these packages will be installed automatically, otherwise you should 389065390dSLexi Winter manually install them if you need these tools. 399065390dSLexi Winter 409065390dSLexi Winter This only affects pkgbase users. 419065390dSLexi Winter 42ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav20250912: 43ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav If SRCCONF is unset and a file named src.conf is present at 44ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav the top of the source tree, it will now be used instead of 45ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav /etc/src.conf. 46ab2fea3fSDag-Erling Smørgrav 47a8a18eebSLexi Winter20250907: 48a8a18eebSLexi Winter The MANSPLITPKG knob has been turned off by default, so pkgbase builds 49a8a18eebSLexi Winter will no longer generate "-man" subpackages; instead the manpages will 50a8a18eebSLexi Winter be shipped in the packages they belong to. If you want to continue 51a8a18eebSLexi Winter building split man packages, set WITH_MANSPLITPKG=1. 52a8a18eebSLexi Winter 538b4e4c27SColin Percival20250905: 548b4e4c27SColin Percival FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT. 558b4e4c27SColin Percival 5692255335SEd Maste20250903: 5792255335SEd Maste The BLOAT_KERNEL_WITH_EXTERR kernel config option has been renamed to 5892255335SEd Maste EXTERR_STRINGS. 5992255335SEd Maste 60e0bc44b5SColin Percival20250827: 61e0bc44b5SColin Percival The names of pkg repositories defined in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf have 62e0bc44b5SColin Percival changed: "FreeBSD" is now "FreeBSD-ports", and "FreeBSD-kmods" is now 63e0bc44b5SColin Percival "FreeBSD-ports-kmods". Users with /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos files 64e0bc44b5SColin Percival which override these will need to adjust their configuration to match 65e0bc44b5SColin Percival the new names. 66e0bc44b5SColin Percival 67110a2fa9SLexi Winter20250823: 68929f5966SLexi Winter The set of pkgbase packages for Kerberos and OpenSSL has changed. 69929f5966SLexi Winter After updating past 250e77d4f0a5, you should check 'pkg orphans' 70929f5966SLexi Winter and remove any orphaned packages, then examine the output of 71929f5966SLexi Winter 'pkg install -r base -g FreeBSD-openssl\* FreeBSD-kerberos\*' 72929f5966SLexi Winter and install any new packages you need. 73929f5966SLexi Winter 74929f5966SLexi Winter20250823: 75110a2fa9SLexi Winter To restore bridge(4)'s ABI compatibility with ifconfig from 14.x or 76110a2fa9SLexi Winter earlier, the size of struct ifbreq has changed, so you must update 77110a2fa9SLexi Winter the kernel and /sbin/ifconfig at the same time or you will not be 78110a2fa9SLexi Winter able to add interfaces to bridge. This is particularly important 79110a2fa9SLexi Winter if you require bridge for network access during boot, in which case 80110a2fa9SLexi Winter you should install the new kernel and the new /sbin/ifconfig prior 81110a2fa9SLexi Winter to rebooting. 82110a2fa9SLexi Winter 83ba487345SBojan Novković20250820: 84dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter The WITHOUT_GSSAPI src.conf knob has been removed. This was already 85dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter a no-op for MIT Kerberos, so this only affects builds which set 86dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter WITHOUT_MITKRB5=1, in which case you now always get libgssapi. 87dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter 88dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter Also, Heimdal's compile_et and libcom_err are now controlled by 89dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter WITHOUT_KERBEROS, not WITHOUT_KERBEROS_SUPPORT. This matches 90dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter the behaviour of the MIT Kerberos versions. 91dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter 92dc5ba6b8SLexi Winter20250820: 93ba487345SBojan Novković Commits 08c7dd2fbe4f and a4197ea47777 have changed the ABI between 94ba487345SBojan Novković libvmmapi and the vmm device. If using a custom kernel configuration, 95ba487345SBojan Novković please ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD14 option is included so older 96ba487345SBojan Novković versions of libvmmapi continue working as expected. 97ba487345SBojan Novković 98dc5f8c34SKyle Evans20250819: 99dc5f8c34SKyle Evans The CLEAN option has been switched back from default-on to default-off. 100dc5f8c34SKyle Evans This reverts the 20250808 change below, which had reverted the 20240729 101dc5f8c34SKyle Evans change before it. Note that some src.conf(5) options are known to break 102dc5f8c34SKyle Evans ABI or compatibility in ways that may require a clean build initially 103dc5f8c34SKyle Evans when switched. 104dc5f8c34SKyle Evans 10514b4a3f3SLexi Winter20250816: 10614b4a3f3SLexi Winter Sendmail's libmilter has been moved to its own package. If you want 10714b4a3f3SLexi Winter to compile applications that use libmilter, you should install the 10814b4a3f3SLexi Winter FreeBSD-libmilter* packages. 10914b4a3f3SLexi Winter 11014b4a3f3SLexi Winter If you only have FreeBSD-sendmail installed for applications that 11114b4a3f3SLexi Winter require libmilter, you can now remove it. 11214b4a3f3SLexi Winter 113837b13afSLexi Winter20250815: 11475b18bafSAlexander Leidinger The [gs]etgroups(2)syscalls have changed. To maintain backwards 1153463f027SAlexander Leidinger compatibility with existing programs, you need COMPAT_FREEBSD14 in 1163463f027SAlexander Leidinger your kernel config until all applications which use this are 1173463f027SAlexander Leidinger rebuild/reinstalled. 1183463f027SAlexander Leidinger 1193463f027SAlexander Leidinger20250815: 12069af14a5SWarner Losh jemalloc 5.3.0 has been committed to the tree. 12169af14a5SWarner Losh 12269af14a5SWarner Losh20250815: 123bcefbb46SAlexander Leidinger The removal of Secure RPC DES authentication noted in 20250810 124837b13afSLexi Winter has been reverted. (However, it is still non-functional.) 125837b13afSLexi Winter 126f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa20250813: 127db575840SRick Macklem Commit cce64f2e6851 changed the internal KAPI between the NFS 128db575840SRick Macklem modules. As such, all of them need to be rebuilt from sources. 129db575840SRick Macklem __FreeBSD_version has been bumped to 1500060 already today, 130db575840SRick Macklem so I will not bump it again for this. 131db575840SRick Macklem 132db575840SRick Macklem20250813: 133f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa The gpiobus_attach_bus() function has been removed. Drivers should now 134f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa use the gpiobus_add_bus() function instead. The difference being that 135f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa gpiobus_add_bus() doesn't call bus_attach_children(), calling it will 136f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa be the responsibility of the caller now. 137f13e8ea0SAhmad Khalifa 138084a3e1eSLexi Winter20250810: 139084a3e1eSLexi Winter Support for Secure RPC DES authentication has been removed. 140084a3e1eSLexi Winter The keyserv(8) daemon was already removed, but support for it in libc 141084a3e1eSLexi Winter has also been removed, so if you somehow still had keyserv installed, 142084a3e1eSLexi Winter it will now stop working. There is no workaround for this. Removing 143084a3e1eSLexi Winter DES is considered a feature. 144084a3e1eSLexi Winter 1456dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav20250808: 1466dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav The CLEAN option has been switched back from default-off to 1476dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav default-on. This reverts the 20240729 change below. 1486dab48b9SDag-Erling Smørgrav 1497ed6b6b9SLexi Winter20250807: 1507ed6b6b9SLexi Winter routed(8) and route6d(8) have moved to the FreeBSD-rip package. 1517ed6b6b9SLexi Winter If you use either of these, you should install the new package. 1527ed6b6b9SLexi Winter 1533a2d4a10SRonald Klop20250806: 1543a2d4a10SRonald Klop if_epair(4) now uses ether_gen_addr(9) to generate a stable MAC 1553a2d4a10SRonald Klop address. 1563a2d4a10SRonald Klop To keep using the random address, set the loader tunable 1573a2d4a10SRonald Klop net.link.epair.ether_gen_addr=0. 1583a2d4a10SRonald Klop 15937056594SLexi Winter20250804: 16037056594SLexi Winter bsdconfig (including sysrc(8)) has moved to the new bsdconfig 16137056594SLexi Winter package. If you use pkgbase and wish to use bsdconfig, you should 16237056594SLexi Winter install FreeBSD-bsdconfig. 16337056594SLexi Winter 16474072e9fSEd Maste20250730: 16574072e9fSEd Maste The usbhid(4) USB HID driver is now enabled by default, and will be 16674072e9fSEd Maste used in preference to other USB HID drivers like ukbd(4), ums(4), and 16774072e9fSEd Maste uhid(4). Work on a FIDO/U2F driver and moused(8) is in progress. 16874072e9fSEd Maste The default is being switched now so that we can find and fix any 16974072e9fSEd Maste additional issues prior to FreeBSD 15.0. 17074072e9fSEd Maste 17174072e9fSEd Maste To revert to the previous USB HID driver behavior, set the loader 172d0144563SEd Maste tunable hw.usb.usbhid.enable=0. 17374072e9fSEd Maste 1749b3055d0SKevin Bowling20250727: 17514f57afbSLexi Winter bmake (i.e., /usr/bin/make and /usr/share/mk) has moved to a new 17614f57afbSLexi Winter package, FreeBSD-bmake. If you use pkgbase and you need make, you 17714f57afbSLexi Winter should install this package. 17814f57afbSLexi Winter 1791b7f9c58SMark Johnston20250726: 1801b7f9c58SMark Johnston amd64 kernel configurations must contain "options SMP". 1811b7f9c58SMark Johnston 182c6da58bcSLexi Winter20250725: 183c6da58bcSLexi Winter gssd(8) has been moved to a new package, FreeBSD-gssd. If you use 184c6da58bcSLexi Winter pkgbase and you need gssd, you should install this package. 185c6da58bcSLexi Winter 186962876ccSLexi Winter20250724: 187962876ccSLexi Winter The Kerberos packages which are built when WITH_MITKRB5 is enabled 188962876ccSLexi Winter have been renamed from FreeBSD-krb5* to FreeBSD-kerberos*. This 189962876ccSLexi Winter affects pkgbase users who manually enabled WITH_MITKRB5, *or* use 190962876ccSLexi Winter the default value of WITH_MITKRB5 and updated past c7da9fb90b0b 191962876ccSLexi Winter (20250721) which made WITH_MITKRB5 the default. 192962876ccSLexi Winter 193962876ccSLexi Winter In either case, if you have FreeBSD-krb5* packages installed, you 194962876ccSLexi Winter should remove them and (re)install the equivalent FreeBSD-kerberos* 195962876ccSLexi Winter packages instead. 196962876ccSLexi Winter 197c7da9fb9SCy Schubert20250721: 198c7da9fb9SCy Schubert WITH_MITKRB5 is now enabled by default. MIT KRB5 has replaced 199c7da9fb9SCy Schubert Heimdal in base. Ports that use USES=gssapi must be rebuilt. 200c7da9fb9SCy Schubert A clean buildworld is required. 201c7da9fb9SCy Schubert 202f690a2daSRick Macklem20250719: 203f690a2daSRick Macklem Commits 392a82b225 and c00baac0ab both changed the 204f690a2daSRick Macklem internal API between the NFS modules. As such, all 205f690a2daSRick Macklem these modules need to be rebuilt from sources. 206f690a2daSRick Macklem __FreeBSD_version was bumped to 1500053 for this. 207f690a2daSRick Macklem 2083fde3907SKyle Evans20250710: 2093fde3907SKyle Evans The shar(1) utility has been removed from base.

To 23029d0bcfdSCy Schubert and install MIT KRB5, add WITH_MITKRB5=yes to /etc/src.conf. This 23129d0bcfdSCy Schubert will build and install MIT KRB5 1.21.3. And it will remove Heimdal 23229d0bcfdSCy Schubert 1.5.2 when delete-old and delete-old-libs are run. To revert back 23329d0bcfdSCy Schubert simply buildworld/installworld again with delete-old-libs and 23429d0bcfdSCy Schubert delete-old. 23529d0bcfdSCy Schubert 23629d0bcfdSCy Schubert At the moment we only know of a couple of ports that might be 23729d0bcfdSCy Schubert affected. Adjusting libmap.conf does not circumvent runtime issues. 23829d0bcfdSCy Schubert The few affected ports must be rebuilt. A successful exp-run will be 23929d0bcfdSCy Schubert run before MIT KRB5 becomes default. 24029d0bcfdSCy Schubert 24129d0bcfdSCy Schubert Those using the KDC in FreeBSD base may wish to wait. The Heimdal 24229d0bcfdSCy Schubert HDB is incompatible with the MIT KRB5 KDC. The migration procedure 24329d0bcfdSCy Schubert is a little involved. 24429d0bcfdSCy Schubert 245a02180cfSBjoern A.

In the case of 95617101a25SAlexander Leidinger wi and cmx, the entire drivers were removed because they were only 95717101a25SAlexander Leidinger PC Card devices. FreeBSD_version 1300134 should be used for this 95817101a25SAlexander Leidinger since it was bumped so recently. 95917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 96017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20210107: 96117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Transport-independent parts of HID support have been split off the USB 96217101a25SAlexander Leidinger code in to separate subsystem. Kernel configs which include one of 96317101a25SAlexander Leidinger ums, ukbd, uhid, atp, wsp, wmt, uaudio, ugold or ucycom drivers should 96417101a25SAlexander Leidinger be updated with adding of "device hid" line. 96517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 96617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20210105: 96717101a25SAlexander Leidinger ncurses installation has been modified to only keep the widechar 96817101a25SAlexander Leidinger enabled version. Incremental build is broken for that change, so it 96917101a25SAlexander Leidinger requires a clean build. 97017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 97117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201223: 97217101a25SAlexander Leidinger The FreeBSD project has migrated from Subversion to Git.

The database is big enough 98017101a25SAlexander Leidinger that it will cause issues in mergemaster in Releases previous to 98117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 12.2 and 11.3, or in very old current systems from before r358154. 98217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 98317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20201215: 98417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Obsolete in-tree GDB 6.1.1 has been removed.

After 100717101a25SAlexander Leidinger make delete-old-files, you need to install it to retain full 100817101a25SAlexander Leidinger functionality. calendar(1) will issue a reminder for files it can't 100917101a25SAlexander Leidinger find. 101017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 101117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200923: 101217101a25SAlexander Leidinger LINT files are no longer generated. We now include the relevant NOTES 101317101a25SAlexander Leidinger files. Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases. 101417101a25SAlexander Leidinger find sys -name LINT\* -delete 101517101a25SAlexander Leidinger is suggested across this commit to remove the generated LINT files. 101617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 101717101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you have tried to update with generated files there, the svn 101817101a25SAlexander Leidinger command you want to un-auger the tree is 101917101a25SAlexander Leidinger cd sys/amd64/conf 102017101a25SAlexander Leidinger svn revert -R . 102117101a25SAlexander Leidinger and then do the above find from the top level. Substitute 'amd64' 102217101a25SAlexander Leidinger above with where the error message indicates a conflict. 102317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 102417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200824: 102517101a25SAlexander Leidinger OpenZFS support has been integrated. Do not upgrade root pools until 102617101a25SAlexander Leidinger the loader is updated to support zstd. Furthermore, we caution against 102717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'zpool upgrade' for the next few weeks. The change should be transparent 102817101a25SAlexander Leidinger unless you want to use new features. 102917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 103017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Not all "NO_CLEAN" build scenarios work across these changes. Many 103117101a25SAlexander Leidinger scenarios have been tested and fixed, but rebuilding kernels without 103217101a25SAlexander Leidinger rebuilding world may fail. 103317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 103417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The ZFS cache file has moved from /boot to /etc to match the OpenZFS 103517101a25SAlexander Leidinger upstream default. A fallback to /boot has been added for mountroot. 103617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 103717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Pool auto import behavior at boot has been moved from the kernel module 103817101a25SAlexander Leidinger to an explicit "zpool import -a" in one of the rc scripts enabled by 103917101a25SAlexander Leidinger zfs_enable=YES. This means your non-root zpools won't auto import until 104017101a25SAlexander Leidinger you upgrade your /etc/rc.d files. 104117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 104217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200824: 104317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The resume code now notifies devd with the 'kernel' system 104417101a25SAlexander Leidinger rather than the old 'kern' subsystem to be consistent with 104517101a25SAlexander Leidinger other use. The old notification will be created as well, but 104617101a25SAlexander Leidinger will be removed prior to FreeBSD 14.0. 104717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 104817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200821: 104917101a25SAlexander Leidinger r362275 changed the internal API between the kernel RPC and the 105017101a25SAlexander Leidinger NFS modules. As such, all the modules must be recompiled from 105117101a25SAlexander Leidinger sources. 105217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 105317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200817: 105417101a25SAlexander Leidinger r364330 modified the internal API used between the NFS modules. 105517101a25SAlexander Leidinger As such, all the NFS modules must be re-compiled from sources. 105617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 105717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200816: 105817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 105917101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 11.0.0. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 106017101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 106117101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 106217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 106317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200810: 106417101a25SAlexander Leidinger r364092 modified the internal ABI used between the kernel NFS 106517101a25SAlexander Leidinger modules. As such, all of these modules need to be rebuilt 106617101a25SAlexander Leidinger from sources, so a version bump was done. 106717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 106817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200807: 106917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Makefile.inc has been updated to work around the issue documented in 107017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 20200729. It was a case where the optimization of using symbolic links 107117101a25SAlexander Leidinger to point to binaries created a situation where we'd run new binaries 107217101a25SAlexander Leidinger with old libraries starting midway through the installworld process. 107317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 107417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200729: 107517101a25SAlexander Leidinger r363679 has redefined some undefined behavior in regcomp(3); notably, 107617101a25SAlexander Leidinger extraneous escapes of most ordinary characters will no longer be 107717101a25SAlexander Leidinger accepted. An exp-run has identified all of the problems with this in 107817101a25SAlexander Leidinger ports, but other non-ports software may need extra escapes removed to 107917101a25SAlexander Leidinger continue to function. 108017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 108117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Because of this change, installworld may encounter the following error 108217101a25SAlexander Leidinger from rtld: Undefined symbol "regcomp@FBSD_1.6" -- It is imperative that 108317101a25SAlexander Leidinger you do not halt installworld. Instead, let it run to completion (whether 108417101a25SAlexander Leidinger successful or not) and run installworld once more. 108517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 108617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200627: 108717101a25SAlexander Leidinger A new implementation of bc and dc has been imported in r362681. This 108817101a25SAlexander Leidinger implementation corrects non-conformant behavior of the previous bc 108917101a25SAlexander Leidinger and adds GNU bc compatible options. It offers a number of extensions, 109017101a25SAlexander Leidinger is much faster on large values, and has support for message catalogs 109117101a25SAlexander Leidinger (a number of languages are already supported, contributions of further 109217101a25SAlexander Leidinger languages welcome). The option WITHOUT_GH_BC can be used to build the 109317101a25SAlexander Leidinger world with the previous versions of bc and dc. 109417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 109517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200625: 109617101a25SAlexander Leidinger r362639 changed the internal API used between the NFS kernel modules. 109717101a25SAlexander Leidinger As such, they all need to be rebuilt from sources. 109817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 109917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200613: 110017101a25SAlexander Leidinger r362158 changed the arguments for VFS_CHECKEXP(). As such, any 110117101a25SAlexander Leidinger out of tree file systems need to be modified and rebuilt. 110217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Also, any file systems that are modules must be rebuilt. 110317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 110417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200604: 110517101a25SAlexander Leidinger read(2) of a directory fd is now rejected by default. root may 110617101a25SAlexander Leidinger re-enable it for system root only on non-ZFS filesystems with the 110717101a25SAlexander Leidinger security.bsd.allow_read_dir sysctl(8) MIB if 110817101a25SAlexander Leidinger security.bsd.suser_enabled=1. 110917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 111017101a25SAlexander Leidinger It may be advised to setup aliases for grep to default to `-d skip` if 111117101a25SAlexander Leidinger commonly non-recursively grepping a list that includes directories and 111217101a25SAlexander Leidinger the potential for the resulting stderr output is not tolerable. Example 111317101a25SAlexander Leidinger aliases are now installed, commented out, in /root/.cshrc and 111417101a25SAlexander Leidinger /root/.shrc. 111517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 111617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200523: 111717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 111817101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 10.0.1.

If using a custom kernel configuration, 112917101a25SAlexander Leidinger you may want to ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD12 option is included, as 113017101a25SAlexander Leidinger a slightly older -CURRENT userland and older FreeBSD userlands may not 113117101a25SAlexander Leidinger be functional without closefrom(2). 113217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 113317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200414: 113417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Upstream DTS from Linux 5.6 was merged and they now have the SID 113517101a25SAlexander Leidinger and THS (Secure ID controller and THermal Sensor) node present. 113617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The DTB overlays have now been removed from the tree for the H3/H5 and 113717101a25SAlexander Leidinger A64 SoCs and the aw_sid and aw_thermal driver have been updated to 113817101a25SAlexander Leidinger deal with upstream DTS. If you are using those overlays you need to 113917101a25SAlexander Leidinger remove them from loader.conf and update the DTBs on the FAT partition. 114017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 114117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200310: 114217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 114317101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 10.0.0.

The WITH_GCC, 116617101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITH_GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and WITH_GNUCXX options are no longer available. 116717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Users who wish to build FreeBSD with GCC must use the external toolchain 116817101a25SAlexander Leidinger ports or packages. 116917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 117017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200220: 117117101a25SAlexander Leidinger ncurses has been updated to a newer version (6.2-20200215). Given the ABI 117217101a25SAlexander Leidinger has changed, users will have to rebuild all the ports that are linked to 117317101a25SAlexander Leidinger ncurses. 117417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 117517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200217: 117617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The size of struct vnet and the magic cookie have changed. 117717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Users need to recompile libkvm and all modules using VIMAGE 117817101a25SAlexander Leidinger together with their new kernel. 117917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 118017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200212: 118117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Defining the long deprecated NO_CTF, NO_DEBUG_FILES, NO_INSTALLLIB, 118217101a25SAlexander Leidinger NO_MAN, NO_PROFILE, and NO_WARNS variables is now an error. Update 118317101a25SAlexander Leidinger your Makefiles and scripts to define MK_<var>=no instead as required. 118417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 118517101a25SAlexander Leidinger One exception to this is that program or library Makefiles should 118617101a25SAlexander Leidinger define MAN to empty rather than setting MK_MAN=no. 118717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 118817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200108: 118917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler and LLD the default 119017101a25SAlexander Leidinger linker for riscv64. 119117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 119217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200107: 119317101a25SAlexander Leidinger make universe no longer uses GCC 4.2.1 on any architectures. 119417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Architectures not supported by in-tree Clang/LLVM require an 119517101a25SAlexander Leidinger external toolchain package. 119617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 119717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200104: 119817101a25SAlexander Leidinger GCC 4.2.1 is now not built by default, as part of the GCC 4.2.1 119917101a25SAlexander Leidinger retirement plan. Specifically, the GCC, GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and GNUCXX 120017101a25SAlexander Leidinger options default to off for all supported CPU architectures. As a 120117101a25SAlexander Leidinger short-term transition aid they may be enabled via WITH_* options. 120217101a25SAlexander Leidinger GCC 4.2.1 is expected to be removed from the tree on 2020-03-31. 120317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 120417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20200102: 120517101a25SAlexander Leidinger Support for armv5 has been disconnected and is being removed. The 120617101a25SAlexander Leidinger machine combination MACHINE=arm MACHINE_ARCH=arm is no longer valid. 120717101a25SAlexander Leidinger You must now use a MACHINE_ARCH of armv6 or armv7. The default 120817101a25SAlexander Leidinger MACHINE_ARCH for MACHINE=arm is now armv7. 120917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 121017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191226: 121117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler for all powerpc architectures. 121217101a25SAlexander Leidinger LLD is now the default linker for powerpc64. The change for powerpc64 121317101a25SAlexander Leidinger also includes a change to the ELFv2 ABI, incompatible with the existing 121417101a25SAlexander Leidinger ABI. 121517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 121617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191226: 121717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Kernel-loadable random(4) modules are no longer unloadable. 121817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 121917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191222: 122017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 122117101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 9.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 122217101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 122317101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 122417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 122517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191212: 122617101a25SAlexander Leidinger r355677 has modified the internal interface used between the 122717101a25SAlexander Leidinger NFS modules in the kernel. As such, they must all be upgraded 122817101a25SAlexander Leidinger simultaneously. I will do a version bump for this. 122917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 123017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191205: 123117101a25SAlexander Leidinger The root certificates of the Mozilla CA Certificate Store have been 123217101a25SAlexander Leidinger imported into the base system and can be managed with the certctl(8) 123317101a25SAlexander Leidinger utility. If you have installed the security/ca_root_nss port or package 123417101a25SAlexander Leidinger with the ETCSYMLINK option (the default), be advised that there may be 123517101a25SAlexander Leidinger differences between those included in the port and those included in 123617101a25SAlexander Leidinger base due to differences in nss branch used as well as general update 123717101a25SAlexander Leidinger frequency. Note also that certctl(8) cannot manage certs in the 123817101a25SAlexander Leidinger format used by the security/ca_root_nss port. 123917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 124017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191120: 124117101a25SAlexander Leidinger The amd(8) automount daemon has been disabled by default, and will be 124217101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed in the future. As of FreeBSD 10.1 the autofs(5) is available 124317101a25SAlexander Leidinger for automounting. 124417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 124517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191107: 124617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The nctgpio and wbwd drivers have been moved to the superio bus. 124717101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you have one of these drivers in a kernel configuration, then 124817101a25SAlexander Leidinger you should add device superio to it. If you use one of these drivers 124917101a25SAlexander Leidinger as a module and you compile a custom set of modules, then you should 125017101a25SAlexander Leidinger add superio to the set. 125117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 125217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191021: 125317101a25SAlexander Leidinger KPIs for network drivers to access interface addresses have changed. 125417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Users need to recompile NIC driver modules together with kernel. 125517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 125617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191021: 125717101a25SAlexander Leidinger The net.link.tap.user_open sysctl no longer prevents user opening of 125817101a25SAlexander Leidinger already created /dev/tapNN devices. Access is still controlled by 125917101a25SAlexander Leidinger node permissions, just like tun devices. The net.link.tap.user_open 126017101a25SAlexander Leidinger sysctl is now used only to allow users to perform devfs cloning of 126117101a25SAlexander Leidinger tap devices, and the subsequent open may not succeed if the user is not 126217101a25SAlexander Leidinger in the appropriate group. This sysctl may be deprecated/removed 126317101a25SAlexander Leidinger completely in the future. 126417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 126517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191009: 126617101a25SAlexander Leidinger mips, powerpc, and sparc64 are no longer built as part of 126717101a25SAlexander Leidinger universe / tinderbox unless MAKE_OBSOLETE_GCC is defined. If 126817101a25SAlexander Leidinger not defined, mips, powerpc, and sparc64 builds will look for 126917101a25SAlexander Leidinger the xtoolchain binaries and if installed use them for universe 127017101a25SAlexander Leidinger builds. As llvm 9.0 becomes vetted for these architectures, they 127117101a25SAlexander Leidinger will be removed from the list. 127217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 127317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191009: 127417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 127517101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 9.0.0. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 127617101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 127717101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 127817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 127917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20191003: 128017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The hpt27xx, hptmv, hptnr, and hptrr drivers have been removed from 128117101a25SAlexander Leidinger GENERIC. They are available as modules and can be loaded by adding 128217101a25SAlexander Leidinger to /boot/loader.conf hpt27xx_load="YES", hptmv_load="YES", 128317101a25SAlexander Leidinger hptnr_load="YES", or hptrr_load="YES", respectively. 128417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 128517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190913: 128617101a25SAlexander Leidinger ntpd no longer by default locks its pages in memory, allowing them 128717101a25SAlexander Leidinger to be paged out by the kernel. Use rlimit memlock to restore 128817101a25SAlexander Leidinger historic BSD behaviour. For example, add "rlimit memlock 32" 128917101a25SAlexander Leidinger to ntp.conf to lock up to 32 MB of ntpd address space in memory. 129017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 129117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190823: 129217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Several of ping6's options have been renamed for better consistency 129317101a25SAlexander Leidinger with ping. If you use any of -ARWXaghmrtwx, you must update your 129417101a25SAlexander Leidinger scripts. See ping6(8) for details. 129517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 129617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190727: 129717101a25SAlexander Leidinger The vfs.fusefs.sync_unmount and vfs.fusefs.init_backgrounded sysctls 129817101a25SAlexander Leidinger and the "-o sync_unmount" and "-o init_backgrounded" mount options have 129917101a25SAlexander Leidinger been removed from mount_fusefs(8). You can safely remove them from 130017101a25SAlexander Leidinger your scripts, because they had no effect. 130117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 130217101a25SAlexander Leidinger The vfs.fusefs.fix_broken_io, vfs.fusefs.sync_resize, 130317101a25SAlexander Leidinger vfs.fusefs.refresh_size, vfs.fusefs.mmap_enable, 130417101a25SAlexander Leidinger vfs.fusefs.reclaim_revoked, and vfs.fusefs.data_cache_invalidate 130517101a25SAlexander Leidinger sysctls have been removed. If you felt the need to set any of them to 130617101a25SAlexander Leidinger a non-default value, please tell asomers@FreeBSD.org why. 130717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 130817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190713: 130917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Default permissions on the /var/account/acct file (and copies of it 131017101a25SAlexander Leidinger rotated by periodic daily scripts) are changed from 0644 to 0640 131117101a25SAlexander Leidinger because the file contains sensitive information that should not be 131217101a25SAlexander Leidinger world-readable. If the /var/account directory must be created by 131317101a25SAlexander Leidinger rc.d/accounting, the mode used is now 0750. Admins who use the 131417101a25SAlexander Leidinger accounting feature are encouraged to change the mode of an existing 131517101a25SAlexander Leidinger /var/account directory to 0750 or 0700. 131617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 131717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190620: 131817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Entropy collection and the /dev/random device are no longer optional 131917101a25SAlexander Leidinger components. The "device random" option has been removed. 132017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Implementations of distilling algorithms can still be made loadable 132117101a25SAlexander Leidinger with "options RANDOM_LOADABLE" (e.g., random_fortuna.ko). 132217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 132317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190612: 132417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have 132517101a25SAlexander Leidinger been upgraded to 8.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for 132617101a25SAlexander Leidinger information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already 132717101a25SAlexander Leidinger using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 132817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 132917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190608: 133017101a25SAlexander Leidinger A fix was applied to i386 kernel modules to avoid panics with 133117101a25SAlexander Leidinger dpcpu or vnet. Users need to recompile i386 kernel modules 133217101a25SAlexander Leidinger having pcpu or vnet sections or they will refuse to load. 133317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 133417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190513: 133517101a25SAlexander Leidinger User-wired pages now have their own counter, 133617101a25SAlexander Leidinger vm.stats.vm.v_user_wire_count. The vm.max_wired sysctl was renamed 133717101a25SAlexander Leidinger to vm.max_user_wired and changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned 133817101a25SAlexander Leidinger long. bhyve VMs wired with the -S are now subject to the user 133917101a25SAlexander Leidinger wiring limit; the vm.max_user_wired sysctl may need to be tuned to 134017101a25SAlexander Leidinger avoid running into the limit. 134117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 134217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190507: 134317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The IPSEC option has been removed from GENERIC. Users requiring 134417101a25SAlexander Leidinger ipsec(4) must now load the ipsec(4) kernel module. 134517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 134617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190507: 134717101a25SAlexander Leidinger The tap(4) driver has been folded into tun(4), and the module has been 134817101a25SAlexander Leidinger renamed to tuntap. You should update any kld_list="if_tap" or 134917101a25SAlexander Leidinger kld_list="if_tun" entries in /etc/rc.conf, if_tap_load="YES" or 135017101a25SAlexander Leidinger if_tun_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf to load the if_tuntap 135117101a25SAlexander Leidinger module instead, and "device tap" or "device tun" entries in kernel 135217101a25SAlexander Leidinger config files to select the tuntap device instead. 135317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 135417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190418: 135517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The following knobs have been added related to tradeoffs between 135617101a25SAlexander Leidinger safe use of the random device and availability in the absence of 135717101a25SAlexander Leidinger entropy: 135817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 135917101a25SAlexander Leidinger kern.random.initial_seeding.bypass_before_seeding: tunable; set 136017101a25SAlexander Leidinger non-zero to bypass the random device prior to seeding, or zero to 136117101a25SAlexander Leidinger block random requests until the random device is initially seeded. 136217101a25SAlexander Leidinger For now, set to 1 (unsafe) by default to restore pre-r346250 boot 136317101a25SAlexander Leidinger availability properties. 136417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 136517101a25SAlexander Leidinger kern.random.initial_seeding.read_random_bypassed_before_seeding: 136617101a25SAlexander Leidinger read-only diagnostic sysctl that is set when bypass is enabled and 136717101a25SAlexander Leidinger read_random(9) is bypassed, to enable programmatic handling of this 136817101a25SAlexander Leidinger initial condition, if desired. 136917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 137017101a25SAlexander Leidinger kern.random.initial_seeding.arc4random_bypassed_before_seeding: 137117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Similar to the above, but for arc4random(9) initial seeding. 137217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 137317101a25SAlexander Leidinger kern.random.initial_seeding.disable_bypass_warnings: tunable; set 137417101a25SAlexander Leidinger non-zero to disable warnings in dmesg when the same conditions are 137517101a25SAlexander Leidinger met as for the diagnostic sysctls above. Defaults to zero, i.e., 137617101a25SAlexander Leidinger produce warnings in dmesg when the conditions are met. 137717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 137817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190416: 137917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The loadable random module KPI has changed; the random_infra_init() 138017101a25SAlexander Leidinger routine now requires a 3rd function pointer for a bool (*)(void) 138117101a25SAlexander Leidinger method that returns true if the random device is seeded (and 138217101a25SAlexander Leidinger therefore unblocked). 138317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 138417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190404: 138517101a25SAlexander Leidinger r345895 reverts r320698. This implies that an nfsuserd(8) daemon 138617101a25SAlexander Leidinger built from head sources between r320757 (July 6, 2017) and 138717101a25SAlexander Leidinger r338192 (Aug. 22, 2018) will not work unless the "-use-udpsock" 138817101a25SAlexander Leidinger is added to the command line. 138917101a25SAlexander Leidinger nfsuserd daemons built from head sources that are post-r338192 are 139017101a25SAlexander Leidinger not affected and should continue to work. 139117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 139217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190320: 139317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The fuse(4) module has been renamed to fusefs(4) for consistency with 139417101a25SAlexander Leidinger other filesystems. You should update any kld_load="fuse" entries in 139517101a25SAlexander Leidinger /etc/rc.conf, fuse_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf, and 139617101a25SAlexander Leidinger "options FUSE" entries in kernel config files. 139717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 139817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190304: 139917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 140017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 8.0.0. Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about 140117101a25SAlexander Leidinger prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 140217101a25SAlexander Leidinger or higher. 140317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 140417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190226: 140517101a25SAlexander Leidinger geom_uzip(4) depends on the new module xz. If geom_uzip is statically 140617101a25SAlexander Leidinger compiled into your custom kernel, add 'device xz' statement to the 140717101a25SAlexander Leidinger kernel config. 140817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 140917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190219: 141017101a25SAlexander Leidinger drm and drm2 have been removed from the tree. Please see 141117101a25SAlexander Leidinger https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics for the latest information on 141217101a25SAlexander Leidinger migrating to the drm ports. 141317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 141417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190131: 141517101a25SAlexander Leidinger Iflib is no longer unconditionally compiled into the kernel. Drivers 141617101a25SAlexander Leidinger using iflib and statically compiled into the kernel, now require 141717101a25SAlexander Leidinger the 'device iflib' config option. For the same drivers loaded as 141817101a25SAlexander Leidinger modules on kernels not having 'device iflib', the iflib.ko module 141917101a25SAlexander Leidinger is loaded automatically. 142017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 142117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20190125: 142217101a25SAlexander Leidinger The IEEE80211_AMPDU_AGE and AH_SUPPORT_AR5416 kernel configuration 142317101a25SAlexander Leidinger options no longer exist since r343219 and r343427 respectively; 142417101a25SAlexander Leidinger nothing uses them, so they should be just removed from custom 142517101a25SAlexander Leidinger kernel config files. 142617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 142717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181230: 142817101a25SAlexander Leidinger r342635 changes the way efibootmgr(8) works by requiring users to add 142917101a25SAlexander Leidinger the -b (bootnum) parameter for commands where the bootnum was previously 143017101a25SAlexander Leidinger specified with each option. For example 'efibootmgr -B 0001' is now 143117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'efibootmgr -B -b 0001'. 143217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 143317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181220: 143417101a25SAlexander Leidinger r342286 modifies the NFSv4 server so that it obeys vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport 143517101a25SAlexander Leidinger in the same as it is applied to NFSv2 and 3. This implies that NFSv4 143617101a25SAlexander Leidinger servers that have vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport set will only allow mounts 143717101a25SAlexander Leidinger from clients using a reserved port. Since both the FreeBSD and Linux 143817101a25SAlexander Leidinger NFSv4 clients use reserved ports by default, this should not affect 143917101a25SAlexander Leidinger most NFSv4 mounts. 144017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 144117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181219: 144217101a25SAlexander Leidinger The XLP config has been removed. We can't support 64-bit atomics in this 144317101a25SAlexander Leidinger kernel because it is running in 32-bit mode. XLP users must transition 144417101a25SAlexander Leidinger to running a 64-bit kernel (XLP64 or XLPN32). 144517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 144617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The mips GXEMUL support has been removed from FreeBSD. MALTA* + qemu is 144717101a25SAlexander Leidinger the preferred emulator today and we don't need two different ones. 144817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 144917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The old sibyte / swarm / Broadcom BCM1250 support has been 145017101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed from the mips port. 145117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 145217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181211: 145317101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 145417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 7.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about 145517101a25SAlexander Leidinger prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 145617101a25SAlexander Leidinger or higher. 145717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 145817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181211: 145917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Remove the timed and netdate programs from the base tree. Setting 146017101a25SAlexander Leidinger the time with these daemons has been obsolete for over a decade. 146117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 146217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181126: 146317101a25SAlexander Leidinger On amd64, arm64 and armv7 (architectures that install LLVM's ld.lld 146417101a25SAlexander Leidinger linker as /usr/bin/ld) GNU ld is no longer installed as ld.bfd, as 146517101a25SAlexander Leidinger it produces broken binaries when ifuncs are in use. Users needing 146617101a25SAlexander Leidinger GNU ld should install the binutils port or package. 146717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 146817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181123: 146917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The BSD crtbegin and crtend code has been enabled by default. It has 147017101a25SAlexander Leidinger had extensive testing on amd64, arm64, and i386. It can be disabled 147117101a25SAlexander Leidinger by building a world with -DWITHOUT_BSD_CRTBEGIN. 147217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 147317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181115: 147417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The set of CTM commands (ctm, ctm_smail, ctm_rmail, ctm_dequeue) 147517101a25SAlexander Leidinger has been converted to a port (misc/ctm) and will be removed from 147617101a25SAlexander Leidinger FreeBSD-13. It is available as a package (ctm) for all supported 147717101a25SAlexander Leidinger FreeBSD versions. 147817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 147917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181110: 148017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default newsyslog.conf(5) file has been changed to only include 148117101a25SAlexander Leidinger files in /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ and /usr/local/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ if 148217101a25SAlexander Leidinger the filenames end in '.conf' and do not begin with a '.'. 148317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 148417101a25SAlexander Leidinger You should check the configuration files in these two directories match 148517101a25SAlexander Leidinger this naming convention. You can verify which configuration files are 148617101a25SAlexander Leidinger being included using the command: 148717101a25SAlexander Leidinger $ newsyslog -Nrv 148817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 1489cb0259b6SWarner Losh20181019: 1490cb0259b6SWarner Losh Stable/12 was branched created. 1491cb0259b6SWarner Losh 149217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181015: 149317101a25SAlexander Leidinger Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. Now, amd64 users should 149417101a25SAlexander Leidinger just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install 149517101a25SAlexander Leidinger drm-legacy-kmod. 149617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 149717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with 149817101a25SAlexander Leidinger drm-kmod. For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need 149917101a25SAlexander Leidinger to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older 150017101a25SAlexander Leidinger than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can 150117101a25SAlexander Leidinger only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the 150217101a25SAlexander Leidinger market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you 150317101a25SAlexander Leidinger have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use 150417101a25SAlexander Leidinger that as you will get better support. 150517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 150617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined 150717101a25SAlexander Leidinger elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base 150817101a25SAlexander Leidinger soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package 150917101a25SAlexander Leidinger asap and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org. 151017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 151117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add 151217101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty 151317101a25SAlexander Leidinger cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver 151417101a25SAlexander Leidinger loading from X11 startup. These will become the defaults in 13-current 151517101a25SAlexander Leidinger shortly. 151617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 151717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181012: 151817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The ixlv(4) driver has been renamed to iavf(4). As a consequence, 151917101a25SAlexander Leidinger custom kernel and module loading configuration files must be updated 152017101a25SAlexander Leidinger accordingly. Moreover, interfaces previous presented as ixlvN to the 152117101a25SAlexander Leidinger system are now exposed as iavfN and network configuration files must 152217101a25SAlexander Leidinger be adjusted as necessary. 152317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 152417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181009: 152517101a25SAlexander Leidinger OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.1.1. This update included 152617101a25SAlexander Leidinger additional various API changes throughout the base system. It is 152717101a25SAlexander Leidinger important to rebuild third-party software after upgrading. The value 152817101a25SAlexander Leidinger of __FreeBSD_version has been bumped accordingly. 152917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 153017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181006: 153117101a25SAlexander Leidinger The legacy DRM modules and drivers have now been added to the loader's 153217101a25SAlexander Leidinger module blacklist, in favor of loading them with kld_list in rc.conf(5). 153317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The module blacklist may be overridden with the loader.conf(5) 153417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'module_blacklist' variable, but loading them via rc.conf(5) is strongly 153517101a25SAlexander Leidinger encouraged. 153617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 153717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20181002: 153817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The cam(4) based nda(4) driver will be used over nvd(4) by default on 153917101a25SAlexander Leidinger powerpc64. You may set 'options NVME_USE_NVD=1' in your kernel conf or 154017101a25SAlexander Leidinger loader tunable 'hw.nvme.use_nvd=1' if you wish to use the existing 154117101a25SAlexander Leidinger driver. Make sure to edit /boot/etc/kboot.conf and fstab to use the 154217101a25SAlexander Leidinger nda device name. 154317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 154417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180913: 154517101a25SAlexander Leidinger Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for 154617101a25SAlexander Leidinger FreeBSD 12.0. This eliminates build metadata such as the user, 154717101a25SAlexander Leidinger host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree 154817101a25SAlexander Leidinger corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system. 154917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The previous behavior can be obtained by setting the /etc/src.conf 155017101a25SAlexander Leidinger knob WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD. 155117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 155217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180826: 155317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The Yarrow CSPRNG has been removed from the kernel as it has not been 155417101a25SAlexander Leidinger supported by its designers since at least 2003. Fortuna has been the 155517101a25SAlexander Leidinger default since FreeBSD-11. 155617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 155717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180822: 155817101a25SAlexander Leidinger devctl freeze/thaw have gone into the tree, the rc scripts have been 155917101a25SAlexander Leidinger updated to use them and devmatch has been changed. You should update 156017101a25SAlexander Leidinger kernel, userland and rc scripts all at the same time. 156117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 156217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180818: 156317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua. 156417101a25SAlexander Leidinger LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default 156517101a25SAlexander Leidinger interpreter. If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set 156617101a25SAlexander Leidinger LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in 156717101a25SAlexander Leidinger src.conf for the build. This will create default hard links between 156817101a25SAlexander Leidinger loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default. 156917101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi. 157017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 157117101a25SAlexander Leidinger bhyve uses userboot.so. It remains 4th-only until some issues are solved 157217101a25SAlexander Leidinger regarding coexisting with multiple versions of FreeBSD are resolved. 157317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 157417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180815: 157517101a25SAlexander Leidinger ls(1) now respects the COLORTERM environment variable used in other 157617101a25SAlexander Leidinger systems and software to indicate that a colored terminal is both 157717101a25SAlexander Leidinger supported and desired. If ls(1) is suddenly emitting colors, they may 157817101a25SAlexander Leidinger be disabled again by either removing the unwanted COLORTERM from your 157917101a25SAlexander Leidinger environment, or using `ls --color=never`. The ls(1) specific CLICOLOR 158017101a25SAlexander Leidinger may not be observed in a future release. 158117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 158217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180808: 158317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default pager for most commands has been changed to "less". To 158417101a25SAlexander Leidinger restore the old behavior, set PAGER="more" and MANPAGER="more -s" in 158517101a25SAlexander Leidinger your environment. 158617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 158717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180731: 158817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The jedec_ts(4) driver has been removed. A superset of its functionality 158917101a25SAlexander Leidinger is available in the jedec_dimm(4) driver, and the manpage for that 159017101a25SAlexander Leidinger driver includes migration instructions. If you have "device jedec_ts" 159117101a25SAlexander Leidinger in your kernel configuration file, it must be removed. 159217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 159317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180730: 159417101a25SAlexander Leidinger amd64/GENERIC now has EFI runtime services, EFIRT, enabled by default. 159517101a25SAlexander Leidinger This should have no effect if the kernel is booted via BIOS/legacy boot. 159617101a25SAlexander Leidinger EFIRT may be disabled via a loader tunable, efi.rt.disabled, if a system 159717101a25SAlexander Leidinger has a buggy firmware that prevents a successful boot due to use of 159817101a25SAlexander Leidinger runtime services. 159917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 160017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180727: 160117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Atmel AT91RM9200 and AT91SAM9, Cavium CNS 11xx and XScale 160217101a25SAlexander Leidinger support has been removed from the tree. These ports were 160317101a25SAlexander Leidinger obsolete and/or known to be broken for many years. 160417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 160517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180723: 160617101a25SAlexander Leidinger loader.efi has been augmented to participate more fully in the 160717101a25SAlexander Leidinger UEFI boot manager protocol. loader.efi will now look at the 160817101a25SAlexander Leidinger BootXXXX environment variable to determine if a specific kernel 160917101a25SAlexander Leidinger or root partition was specified. XXXX is derived from BootCurrent. 161017101a25SAlexander Leidinger efibootmgr(8) manages these standard UEFI variables. 161117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 161217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180720: 161317101a25SAlexander Leidinger zfsloader's functionality has now been folded into loader. 161417101a25SAlexander Leidinger zfsloader is no longer necessary once you've updated your 161517101a25SAlexander Leidinger boot blocks. For a transition period, we will install a 161617101a25SAlexander Leidinger hardlink for zfsloader to loader to allow a smooth transition 161717101a25SAlexander Leidinger until the boot blocks can be updated (hard link because old 161817101a25SAlexander Leidinger zfs boot blocks don't understand symlinks). 161917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 162017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180719: 162117101a25SAlexander Leidinger ARM64 now have efifb support, if you want to have serial console 162217101a25SAlexander Leidinger on your arm64 board when an screen is connected and the bootloader 162317101a25SAlexander Leidinger setup a frame buffer for us to use, just add : 162417101a25SAlexander Leidinger boot_serial=YES 162517101a25SAlexander Leidinger boot_multicons=YES 162617101a25SAlexander Leidinger in /boot/loader.conf 162717101a25SAlexander Leidinger For Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI) users, this is needed even if you don't have 162817101a25SAlexander Leidinger an screen connected as the firmware will setup a frame buffer are that 162917101a25SAlexander Leidinger u-boot will expose as an EFI frame buffer. 163017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 163117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180719: 163217101a25SAlexander Leidinger New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123). Be sure to run mergemaster 163317101a25SAlexander Leidinger or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on 163417101a25SAlexander Leidinger existing systems. Do not skip the "mergemaster -Fp" step before 163517101a25SAlexander Leidinger installworld, as described in the update procedures near the bottom 163617101a25SAlexander Leidinger of this document. Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd 163717101a25SAlexander Leidinger if the new mac_ntpd(4) policy is available, unless ntpd_flags or 163817101a25SAlexander Leidinger the ntp config file contain options that change file/dir locations. 163917101a25SAlexander Leidinger When such options (e.g., "statsdir" or "crypto") are used, ntpd can 164017101a25SAlexander Leidinger still be run as non-root by setting ntpd_user=ntpd in rc.conf, after 164117101a25SAlexander Leidinger taking steps to ensure that all required files/dirs are accessible 164217101a25SAlexander Leidinger by the ntpd user. 164317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 164417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180717: 164517101a25SAlexander Leidinger Big endian arm support has been removed. 164617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 164717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180711: 164817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The static environment setup in kernel configs is no longer mutually 164917101a25SAlexander Leidinger exclusive with the loader(8) environment by default. In order to 165017101a25SAlexander Leidinger restore the previous default behavior of disabling the loader(8) 165117101a25SAlexander Leidinger environment if a static environment is present, you must specify 165217101a25SAlexander Leidinger loader_env.disabled=1 in the static environment. 165317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 165417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180705: 165517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The ABI of syscalls used by management tools like sockstat and 165617101a25SAlexander Leidinger netstat has been broken to allow 32-bit binaries to work on 165717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 64-bit kernels without modification. These programs will need 165817101a25SAlexander Leidinger to match the kernel in order to function. External programs may 165917101a25SAlexander Leidinger require minor modifications to accommodate a change of type in 166017101a25SAlexander Leidinger structures from pointers to 64-bit virtual addresses. 166117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 166217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180702: 166317101a25SAlexander Leidinger On i386 and amd64 atomics are now inlined. Out of tree modules using 166417101a25SAlexander Leidinger atomics will need to be rebuilt. 166517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 166617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180701: 166717101a25SAlexander Leidinger The '%I' format in the kern.corefile sysctl limits the number of 166817101a25SAlexander Leidinger core files that a process can generate to the number stored in the 166917101a25SAlexander Leidinger debug.ncores sysctl. The '%I' format is replaced by the single digit 167017101a25SAlexander Leidinger index. Previously, if all indexes were taken the kernel would overwrite 167117101a25SAlexander Leidinger only a core file with the highest index in a filename. 167217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free 167317101a25SAlexander Leidinger index or if all slots are taken it will overwrite the oldest one. 167417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 167517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180630: 167617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 167717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 6.0.1. Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about 167817101a25SAlexander Leidinger prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 167917101a25SAlexander Leidinger or higher. 168017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 168117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180628: 168217101a25SAlexander Leidinger r335753 introduced a new quoting method. However, etc/devd/devmatch.conf 168317101a25SAlexander Leidinger needed to be changed to work with it. This change was made with r335763 168417101a25SAlexander Leidinger and requires a mergemaster / etcupdate / etc to update the installed 168517101a25SAlexander Leidinger file. 168617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 168717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180612: 168817101a25SAlexander Leidinger r334930 changed the interface between the NFS modules, so they all 168917101a25SAlexander Leidinger need to be rebuilt. r335018 did a __FreeBSD_version bump for this. 169017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 169117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180530: 169217101a25SAlexander Leidinger As of r334391 lld is the default amd64 system linker; it is installed 169317101a25SAlexander Leidinger as /usr/bin/ld. Kernel build workarounds (see 20180510 entry) are no 169417101a25SAlexander Leidinger longer necessary. 169517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 169617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180530: 169717101a25SAlexander Leidinger The kernel / userland interface for devinfo changed, so you'll 169817101a25SAlexander Leidinger need a new kernel and userland as a pair for it to work (rebuilding 169917101a25SAlexander Leidinger lib/libdevinfo is all that's required). devinfo and devmatch will 170017101a25SAlexander Leidinger not work, but everything else will when there's a mismatch. 170117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 170217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180523: 170317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The on-disk format for hwpmc callchain records has changed to include 170417101a25SAlexander Leidinger threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets 170517101a25SAlexander Leidinger and thus requires that libpmcstat be rebuilt before using a kernel 170617101a25SAlexander Leidinger later than r334108. 170717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 170817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180517: 170917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The vxge(4) driver has been removed. This driver was introduced into 171017101a25SAlexander Leidinger HEAD one week before the Exar left the Ethernet market and is not 171117101a25SAlexander Leidinger known to be used. If you have device vxge in your kernel config file 171217101a25SAlexander Leidinger it must be removed. 171317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 171417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180510: 171517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a 171617101a25SAlexander Leidinger working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default 171717101a25SAlexander Leidinger on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However, 171817101a25SAlexander Leidinger it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional 171917101a25SAlexander Leidinger way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for 172017101a25SAlexander Leidinger binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement 172117101a25SAlexander Leidinger will go away. 172217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 172317101a25SAlexander Leidinger NOTE: As of r334391 lld is the default system linker on amd64, and no 172417101a25SAlexander Leidinger workaround is necessary. 172517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 172617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180508: 172717101a25SAlexander Leidinger The nxge(4) driver has been removed. This driver was for PCI-X 10g 172817101a25SAlexander Leidinger cards made by s2io/Neterion. The company was acquired by Exar and 172917101a25SAlexander Leidinger no longer sells or supports Ethernet products. If you have device 173017101a25SAlexander Leidinger nxge in your kernel config file it must be removed. 173117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 173217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180504: 173317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The tz database (tzdb) has been updated to 2018e. This version more 173417101a25SAlexander Leidinger correctly models time stamps in time zones with negative DST such as 173517101a25SAlexander Leidinger Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and 173617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Africa/Windhoek (1994/2017). This does not affect the UT offsets, only 173717101a25SAlexander Leidinger time zone abbreviations and the tm_isdst flag. 173817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 173917101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180502: 174017101a25SAlexander Leidinger The ixgb(4) driver has been removed. This driver was for an early and 174117101a25SAlexander Leidinger uncommon legacy PCI 10GbE for a single ASIC, Intel 82597EX. Intel 174217101a25SAlexander Leidinger quickly shifted to the long lived ixgbe family. If you have device 174317101a25SAlexander Leidinger ixgb in your kernel config file it must be removed. 174417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 174517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180501: 174617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The lmc(4) driver has been removed. This was a WAN interface 174717101a25SAlexander Leidinger card that was already reportedly rare in 2003, and had an ambiguous 174817101a25SAlexander Leidinger license. If you have device lmc in your kernel config file it must 174917101a25SAlexander Leidinger be removed. 175017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 175117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180413: 175217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Support for Arcnet networks has been removed. If you have device 175317101a25SAlexander Leidinger arcnet or device cm in your kernel config file they must be 175417101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed. 175517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 175617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180411: 175717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Support for FDDI networks has been removed. If you have device 175817101a25SAlexander Leidinger fddi or device fpa in your kernel config file they must be 175917101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed. 176017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 176117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180406: 176217101a25SAlexander Leidinger In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the 176317101a25SAlexander Leidinger syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted 176417101a25SAlexander Leidinger log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients 176517101a25SAlexander Leidinger may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers, 176617101a25SAlexander Leidinger microseconds and time zone offsets. 176717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 176817101a25SAlexander Leidinger Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to 176917101a25SAlexander Leidinger send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging 177017101a25SAlexander Leidinger daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no 177117101a25SAlexander Leidinger negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are 177217101a25SAlexander Leidinger updated at the same time. On systems using a different system 177317101a25SAlexander Leidinger logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration 177417101a25SAlexander Leidinger adjustments, depending on the software used. 177517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 177617101a25SAlexander Leidinger When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local 177717101a25SAlexander Leidinger input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages: 177817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 177917101a25SAlexander Leidinger source src { 178017101a25SAlexander Leidinger unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol)); 178117101a25SAlexander Leidinger } 178217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 178317101a25SAlexander Leidinger When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option 178417101a25SAlexander Leidinger of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the 178517101a25SAlexander Leidinger regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline: 178617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 178717101a25SAlexander Leidinger module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off") 178817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 178917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Do note that these changes only affect communication between local 179017101a25SAlexander Leidinger applications and syslogd(8). The format that syslogd(8) uses to 179117101a25SAlexander Leidinger store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems 179217101a25SAlexander Leidinger remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these 179317101a25SAlexander Leidinger purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the 179417101a25SAlexander Leidinger future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are 179517101a25SAlexander Leidinger thus expected to continue to function as before. 179617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 179717101a25SAlexander Leidinger __FreeBSD_version has been incremented to 1200061 to denote this 179817101a25SAlexander Leidinger change. 179917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 180017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180328: 180117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Support for token ring networks has been removed. If you 180217101a25SAlexander Leidinger have "device token" in your kernel config you should remove 180317101a25SAlexander Leidinger it. No device drivers supported token ring. 180417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 180517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180323: 180617101a25SAlexander Leidinger makefs was modified to be able to tag ISO9660 El Torito boot catalog 180717101a25SAlexander Leidinger entries as EFI instead of overloading the i386 tag as done previously. 180817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for 180917101a25SAlexander Leidinger release was updated to use this. This may mean that makefs must be 181017101a25SAlexander Leidinger updated before "make cdrom" can be run in the release directory. This 181117101a25SAlexander Leidinger should be as simple as: 181217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 181317101a25SAlexander Leidinger $ cd $SRCDIR/usr.sbin/makefs 181417101a25SAlexander Leidinger $ make depend all install 181517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 181617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180212: 181717101a25SAlexander Leidinger FreeBSD boot loader enhanced with Lua scripting. It's purely opt-in for 181817101a25SAlexander Leidinger now by building WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH in /etc/src.conf. 181917101a25SAlexander Leidinger Co-existence for the transition period will come shortly. Booting is a 182017101a25SAlexander Leidinger complex environment and test coverage for Lua-enabled loaders has been 182117101a25SAlexander Leidinger thin, so it would be prudent to assume it might not work and make 182217101a25SAlexander Leidinger provisions for backup boot methods. 182317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 182417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180211: 182517101a25SAlexander Leidinger devmatch functionality has been turned on in devd. It will automatically 182617101a25SAlexander Leidinger load drivers for unattached devices. This may cause unexpected drivers 182717101a25SAlexander Leidinger to be loaded. Please report any problems to current@ and 182817101a25SAlexander Leidinger imp@freebsd.org. 182917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 183017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180114: 183117101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 183217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 6.0.0. Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about 183317101a25SAlexander Leidinger prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 183417101a25SAlexander Leidinger or higher. 183517101a25SAlexander Leidinger 183617101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180110: 183717101a25SAlexander Leidinger LLVM's lld linker is now used as the FreeBSD/amd64 bootstrap linker. 183817101a25SAlexander Leidinger This means it is used to link the kernel and userland libraries and 183917101a25SAlexander Leidinger executables, but is not yet installed as /usr/bin/ld by default. 184017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 184117101a25SAlexander Leidinger To revert to ld.bfd as the bootstrap linker, in /etc/src.conf set 184217101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITHOUT_LLD_BOOTSTRAP=yes 184317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 184417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180110: 184517101a25SAlexander Leidinger On i386, pmtimer has been removed. Its functionality has been folded 184617101a25SAlexander Leidinger into apm. It was a no-op on ACPI in current for a while now (but was 184717101a25SAlexander Leidinger still needed on i386 in FreeBSD 11 and earlier). Users may need to 184817101a25SAlexander Leidinger remove it from kernel config files. 184917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 185017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180104: 185117101a25SAlexander Leidinger The use of RSS hash from the network card aka flowid has been 185217101a25SAlexander Leidinger disabled by default for lagg(4) as it's currently incompatible with 185317101a25SAlexander Leidinger the lacp and loadbalance protocols. 185417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 185517101a25SAlexander Leidinger This can be re-enabled by setting the following in loader.conf: 185617101a25SAlexander Leidinger net.link.lagg.default_use_flowid="1" 185717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 185817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20180102: 185917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The SW_WATCHDOG option is no longer necessary to enable the 186017101a25SAlexander Leidinger hardclock-based software watchdog if no hardware watchdog is 186117101a25SAlexander Leidinger configured. As before, SW_WATCHDOG will cause the software 186217101a25SAlexander Leidinger watchdog to be enabled even if a hardware watchdog is configured. 186317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 186417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171215: 186517101a25SAlexander Leidinger r326887 fixes the issue described in the 20171214 UPDATING entry. 186617101a25SAlexander Leidinger r326888 flips the switch back to building GELI support always. 186717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 186817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171214: 186917101a25SAlexander Leidinger r362593 broke ZFS + GELI support for reasons unknown. However, 187017101a25SAlexander Leidinger it also broke ZFS support generally, so GELI has been turned off 187117101a25SAlexander Leidinger by default as the lesser evil in r326857. If you boot off ZFS and/or 187217101a25SAlexander Leidinger GELI, it might not be a good time to update. 187317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 187417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171125: 187517101a25SAlexander Leidinger PowerPC users must update loader(8) by rebuilding world before 187617101a25SAlexander Leidinger installing a new kernel, as the protocol connecting them has 187717101a25SAlexander Leidinger changed. Without the update, loader metadata will not be passed 187817101a25SAlexander Leidinger successfully to the kernel and users will have to enter their 187917101a25SAlexander Leidinger root partition at the kernel mountroot prompt to continue booting. 188017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Newer versions of loader can boot old kernels without issue. 188117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 188217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171110: 188317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The LOADER_FIREWIRE_SUPPORT build variable has been renamed to 188417101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITH/OUT_LOADER_FIREWIRE. LOADER_{NO_,}GELI_SUPPORT has been renamed 188517101a25SAlexander Leidinger to WITH/OUT_LOADER_GELI. 188617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 188717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171106: 188817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The naive and non-compliant support of posix_fallocate(2) in ZFS 188917101a25SAlexander Leidinger has been removed as of r325320. The system call now returns EINVAL 189017101a25SAlexander Leidinger when used on a ZFS file. Although the new behavior complies with the 189117101a25SAlexander Leidinger standard, some consumers are not prepared to cope with it. 189217101a25SAlexander Leidinger One known victim is lld prior to r325420. 189317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 189417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171102: 189517101a25SAlexander Leidinger Building in a FreeBSD src checkout will automatically create object 189617101a25SAlexander Leidinger directories now rather than store files in the current directory if 189717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'make obj' was not ran. Calling 'make obj' is no longer necessary. 189817101a25SAlexander Leidinger This feature can be disabled by setting WITHOUT_AUTO_OBJ=yes in 189917101a25SAlexander Leidinger /etc/src-env.conf (not /etc/src.conf), or passing the option in the 190017101a25SAlexander Leidinger environment. 190117101a25SAlexander Leidinger 190217101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171101: 190317101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default MAKEOBJDIR has changed from /usr/obj/<srcdir> for native 190417101a25SAlexander Leidinger builds, and /usr/obj/<arch>/<srcdir> for cross-builds, to a unified 190517101a25SAlexander Leidinger /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<arch>. This behavior can be changed to the old 190617101a25SAlexander Leidinger format by setting WITHOUT_UNIFIED_OBJDIR=yes in /etc/src-env.conf, 190717101a25SAlexander Leidinger the environment, or with -DWITHOUT_UNIFIED_OBJDIR when building. 190817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The UNIFIED_OBJDIR option is a transitional feature that will be 190917101a25SAlexander Leidinger removed for 12.0 release; please migrate to the new format for any 191017101a25SAlexander Leidinger tools by looking up the OBJDIR used by 'make -V .OBJDIR' means rather 191117101a25SAlexander Leidinger than hardcoding paths. 191217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 191317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171028: 191417101a25SAlexander Leidinger The native-xtools target no longer installs the files by default to the 191517101a25SAlexander Leidinger OBJDIR. Use the native-xtools-install target with a DESTDIR to install 191617101a25SAlexander Leidinger to ${DESTDIR}/${NXTP} where NXTP defaults to /nxb-bin. 191717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 191817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171021: 191917101a25SAlexander Leidinger As part of the boot loader infrastructure cleanup, LOADER_*_SUPPORT 192017101a25SAlexander Leidinger options are changing from controlling the build if defined / undefined 192117101a25SAlexander Leidinger to controlling the build with explicit 'yes' or 'no' values. They will 192217101a25SAlexander Leidinger shift to WITH/WITHOUT options to match other options in the system. 192317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 192417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171010: 192517101a25SAlexander Leidinger libstand has turned into a private library for sys/boot use only. 192617101a25SAlexander Leidinger It is no longer supported as a public interface outside of sys/boot. 192717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 192817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171005: 192917101a25SAlexander Leidinger The arm port has split armv6 into armv6 and armv7. armv7 is now 193017101a25SAlexander Leidinger a valid TARGET_ARCH/MACHINE_ARCH setting. If you have an armv7 system 193117101a25SAlexander Leidinger and are running a kernel from before r324363, you will need to add 193217101a25SAlexander Leidinger MACHINE_ARCH=armv7 to 'make buildworld' to do a native build. 193317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 193417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20171003: 193517101a25SAlexander Leidinger When building multiple kernels using KERNCONF, non-existent KERNCONF 193617101a25SAlexander Leidinger files will produce an error and buildkernel will fail. Previously 193717101a25SAlexander Leidinger missing KERNCONF files silently failed giving no indication as to 193817101a25SAlexander Leidinger why, only to subsequently discover during installkernel that the 193917101a25SAlexander Leidinger desired kernel was never built in the first place. 194017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 194117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170912: 194217101a25SAlexander Leidinger The default serial number format for CTL LUNs has changed. This will 194317101a25SAlexander Leidinger affect users who use /dev/diskid/* device nodes, or whose FibreChannel 194417101a25SAlexander Leidinger or iSCSI clients care about their LUNs' serial numbers. Users who 194517101a25SAlexander Leidinger require serial number stability should hardcode serial numbers in 194617101a25SAlexander Leidinger /etc/ctl.conf . 194717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 194817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170912: 194917101a25SAlexander Leidinger For 32-bit arm compiled for hard-float support, soft-floating point 195017101a25SAlexander Leidinger binaries now always get their shared libraries from 195117101a25SAlexander Leidinger LD_SOFT_LIBRARY_PATH (in the past, this was only used if 195217101a25SAlexander Leidinger /usr/libsoft also existed). Only users with a hard-float ld.so, but 195317101a25SAlexander Leidinger soft-float everything else should be affected. 195417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 195517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170826: 195617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The geli password typed at boot is now hidden.

As of r322297, 198817101a25SAlexander Leidinger the information needed to find alternate superblocks has been 198917101a25SAlexander Leidinger moved to the end of the area reserved for the boot block. 199017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Filesystems created with a newfs of this vintage or later 199117101a25SAlexander Leidinger will create the recovery information. If you have a filesystem 199217101a25SAlexander Leidinger created prior to this change and wish to have a recovery block 199317101a25SAlexander Leidinger created for your filesystem, you can do so by running fsck in 199417101a25SAlexander Leidinger foreground mode (i.e., do not use the -p or -y options). As it 199517101a25SAlexander Leidinger starts, fsck will ask ``SAVE DATA TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS'' 199617101a25SAlexander Leidinger to which you should answer yes. 199717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 199817101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170728: 199917101a25SAlexander Leidinger As of r321665, an NFSv4 server configuration that services 200017101a25SAlexander Leidinger Kerberos mounts or clients that do not support the uid/gid in 200117101a25SAlexander Leidinger owner/owner_group string capability, must explicitly enable 200217101a25SAlexander Leidinger the nfsuserd daemon by adding nfsuserd_enable="YES" to the 200317101a25SAlexander Leidinger machine's /etc/rc.conf file. 200417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 200517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170722: 200617101a25SAlexander Leidinger Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 5.0.0. 200717101a25SAlexander Leidinger Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites 200817101a25SAlexander Leidinger and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher. 200917101a25SAlexander Leidinger 201017101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170701: 201117101a25SAlexander Leidinger WITHOUT_RCMDS is now the default.

This is 201617101a25SAlexander Leidinger a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must 201717101a25SAlexander Leidinger be careful when performing source upgrades. It is best to run 201817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live 201917101a25SAlexander Leidinger CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition. Additionally, all ports 202017101a25SAlexander Leidinger must be recompiled. powerpc64 is largely unaffected, except in the case 202117101a25SAlexander Leidinger of 32-bit compatibility. All 32-bit binaries will be affected. 202217101a25SAlexander Leidinger 202317101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170623: 202417101a25SAlexander Leidinger Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This 202517101a25SAlexander Leidinger will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited 202617101a25SAlexander Leidinger fashion. This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the 202717101a25SAlexander Leidinger upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across 202817101a25SAlexander Leidinger the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though 202917101a25SAlexander Leidinger enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations. 203017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 203117101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170620: 203217101a25SAlexander Leidinger Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler).

For upgrade, same 205117101a25SAlexander Leidinger precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be 205217101a25SAlexander Leidinger followed. 205317101a25SAlexander Leidinger 205417101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170531: 205517101a25SAlexander Leidinger The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base.

This is useful for embedded systems 206517101a25SAlexander Leidinger which only require one chipset support. 206617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 206717101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf: 206817101a25SAlexander Leidinger 206917101a25SAlexander Leidinger if_ath_load="YES" 207017101a25SAlexander Leidinger 207117101a25SAlexander Leidinger This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci. 207217101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after 207317101a25SAlexander Leidinger if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support. 207417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 207517101a25SAlexander Leidinger If you want to selectively load things (eg on cheaper ARM/MIPS 207617101a25SAlexander Leidinger platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should: 207717101a25SAlexander Leidinger 207817101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load ath_hal 207917101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load the chip modules in question 208017101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load ath_rate, ath_dfs 208117101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load ath_main 208217101a25SAlexander Leidinger * load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular 208317101a25SAlexander Leidinger bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done. 208417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 208517101a25SAlexander Leidinger For further comments/feedback, poke adrian@ . 208617101a25SAlexander Leidinger 208717101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170523: 208817101a25SAlexander Leidinger The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends 208917101a25SAlexander Leidinger a number of types to 64 bits.

Then, carefully follow the full 209817101a25SAlexander Leidinger procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild everything and 209917101a25SAlexander Leidinger install it on the current system." Specifically, a reboot is required 210017101a25SAlexander Leidinger after installing the new kernel before installing world. While an 210117101a25SAlexander Leidinger installworld normally works by accident from multiuser after rebooting 210217101a25SAlexander Leidinger the proper kernel, there are many cases where this will fail across this 210317101a25SAlexander Leidinger upgrade and installworld from single user is required. 210417101a25SAlexander Leidinger 210517101a25SAlexander Leidinger20170424: 210617101a25SAlexander Leidinger The NATM framework including the en(4), fatm(4), hatm(4), and 210717101a25SAlexander Leidinger patm(4) devices has been removed.

This can happen because the make utility reads its 2300456b5dd8SWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. To run 2301456b5dd8SWarner Losh your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make 2302456b5dd8SWarner Losh commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details. 230316ae8351SEd Maste Occasionally a build failure will occur with "make -j" due to a race 230416ae8351SEd Maste condition. If this happens try building again without -j, and please 230516ae8351SEd Maste report a bug if it happens consistently. 23065780f3baSWarner Losh 23075ad05815SWarner Losh When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to 23085ad05815SWarner Losh upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then 23095ad05815SWarner Losh do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path, 23105ad05815SWarner Losh and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try this 23115ad05815SWarner Losh approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade. Since 231244c1484aSJens Schweikhardt the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from 23135ad05815SWarner Losh anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the 23145ad05815SWarner Losh last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's 23155ad05815SWarner Losh an exception. 2316081ff8acSDoug Barton 231756cd269eSEd Maste The update process will emit an error on an attempt to perform a build 231856cd269eSEd Maste or install from a FreeBSD version below the earliest supported version. 231956cd269eSEd Maste When updating from an older version the update should be performed one 232056cd269eSEd Maste major release at a time, including running `make delete-old` at each 232156cd269eSEd Maste step. 232256cd269eSEd Maste 23236eeab389SWarner Losh When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before 2324da0e842aSWarner Losh installing anything can help undo problems.

For EFI booting, see EFI notes. 23500cd61266SWarner Losh 23510cd61266SWarner Losh 3) zpool upgrade the root pool. New bootblocks will work with old 23520cd61266SWarner Losh pools, but not vice versa, so they need to be updated before any 23530cd61266SWarner Losh zpool upgrade. 23548fc25799SMartin Matuska 23558fc25799SMartin Matuska Non-boot pools do not need these updates. 23568fc25799SMartin Matuska 23570cd61266SWarner Losh EFI notes 23580cd61266SWarner Losh --------- 23590cd61266SWarner Losh 23600cd61266SWarner Losh There are two locations the boot loader can be installed into. The 23610cd61266SWarner Losh current location (and the default) is \efi\freebsd\loader.efi and using 23620cd61266SWarner Losh efibootmgr(8) to configure it. The old location, that must be used on 23630cd61266SWarner Losh deficient systems that don't honor efibootmgr(8) protocols, is the 23640cd61266SWarner Losh fallback location of \EFI\BOOT\BOOTxxx.EFI. Generally, you will copy 23650cd61266SWarner Losh /boot/loader.efi to this location, but on systems installed a long time 23660cd61266SWarner Losh ago the ESP may be too small and /boot/boot1.efi may be needed unless 23670cd61266SWarner Losh the ESP has been expanded in the meantime. 23680cd61266SWarner Losh 23690cd61266SWarner Losh Recent systems will have the ESP mounted on /boot/efi, but older ones 23700cd61266SWarner Losh may not have it mounted at all, or mounted in a different 23710cd61266SWarner Losh location. Older arm SD images with MBR used /boot/msdos as the 23720cd61266SWarner Losh mountpoint. The ESP is a MSDOS filesystem. 23730cd61266SWarner Losh 23740cd61266SWarner Losh The EFI boot loader rarely needs to be updated. For ZFS booting, 23750cd61266SWarner Losh however, you must update loader.efi before you do 'zpool upgrade' the 23760cd61266SWarner Losh root zpool, otherwise the old loader.efi may reject the upgraded zpool 23770cd61266SWarner Losh since it does not automatically understand some new features. 23780cd61266SWarner Losh 23790cd61266SWarner Losh See loader.efi(8) and uefi(8) for more details. 23800cd61266SWarner Losh 2381dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 2382dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 2383ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 23841cf0ef11SDavid E.

If all your modules come from ports, then adding 2477d2799054SWarner Losh the port origin directories to PORTS_MODULES instead is also automatic 2478d2799054SWarner Losh and effective, eg: 2479dcef6ce8SAlexander Ziaee PORTS_MODULES+=graphics/drm-kmod graphics/nvidia-drm-kmod 2480134d2e86SWarner Losh 2481ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee [2] To make complete dumps on zfs(4), use bectl(8), which 2482ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee creates bootable snapshots of configurable depth that are 2483ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee selectable via the bootloader. For ufs(4), use dump(8) and 2484ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee restore(8). 2485ca9131b7SAlexander Ziaee 2486ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do 2487ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh fsck -p 2488ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -u / 2489ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh mount -a 24908ed2d94aSWarner Losh sh /etc/rc.d/zfs start # mount zfs filesystem, if needed 24918ed2d94aSWarner Losh cd src # full path to source 249247d0d01fSWarner Losh adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time 2493d2799054SWarner Losh Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that you boot 2494d2799054SWarner Losh into single user mode to do the installworld. 2495ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh 2496a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step 2497a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the 2498a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those 2499a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well 2500a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists 2501e641c29aSDries Michiels for potential gotchas. See etcupdate(8) for more information. 2502a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 250344c1484aSJens Schweikhardt [5] Usually this step is a no-op. However, from time to time 2504835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 2505e641c29aSDries Michiels step. 2506835284beSWarner Losh 250794877c06SAlexander Leidinger [6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries 250894877c06SAlexander Leidinger can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make 250994877c06SAlexander Leidinger sure that no program is using those libraries anymore. 251094877c06SAlexander Leidinger 2511ed651a74SWarner Losh [8] The new kernel must be able to run existing binaries used by an 2512ed651a74SWarner Losh installworld. When upgrading across major versions, the new kernel's 2513ed651a74SWarner Losh configuration must include the correct COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> option for 2514ed651a74SWarner Losh existing binaries (e.g. COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to run 11.x binaries). Failure 2515ed651a74SWarner Losh to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A 2516ed651a74SWarner Losh GENERIC kernel will include suitable compatibility options to run 2517ed651a74SWarner Losh binaries from older branches. Note that the ability to run binaries 2518ed651a74SWarner Losh from unsupported branches is not guaranteed. 2519c74fe6afSWarner Losh 2520e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 25218ed2d94aSWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. Options also 25228ed2d94aSWarner Losh change over time, so you may need to adjust your custom kernels 25238ed2d94aSWarner Losh for these as well. 2524e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 2525e5f5a852SEitan Adler [9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 2526e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 2527e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 2528e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 2529e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 2530e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 2531e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 2532dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 2533dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 2534f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 2535630f2154SGlen Barberbreakages in tracking -current.
