These features attempt to detect incorrect use of 15456b5dd8SWarner Losh system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity 16456b5dd8SWarner Losh checking and fail stop semantics. They also substantially impact 17456b5dd8SWarner Losh system performance. If you want to do performance measurement, 18456b5dd8SWarner Losh benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off. This 19456b5dd8SWarner Losh includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc 20456b5dd8SWarner Losh debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the 21456b5dd8SWarner Losh kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build 22456b5dd8SWarner Losh machines to maximize performance. (To disable malloc debugging, run 236bea5c3cSTom Rhodes ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf.) 24efc06131SSam Leffler 25*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl20101114: 26*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control support has been 27*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl added to mii(4) and bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along 28*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy() have been converted 29*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl to take advantage of it instead of using custom implementations. This 30*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl means that these drivers now no longer unconditionally advertise 31*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl support for flow control but only do so if flow control is a selected 32*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl media option. This was implemented in the generic support that way in 33*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl order to allow flow control to be switched on and off via ifconfig(8) 34*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl with the PHY specific default to typically off in order to protect 35*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl from unwanted effects. Consequently, if you used flow control with 36*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl one of the above mentioned drivers you now need to explicitly enable 37*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl it, for example via: 38*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media auto mediaopt flowcontrol 39*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 40*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Along with the above mentioned changes generic support for setting 41*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 1000baseT master mode also has been added and brgphy(4), ciphy(4), 42*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy(4) have been converted to take 43*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl advantage of it. This means that these drivers now no longer take the 44*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl link0 parameter for selecting master mode but the master media option 45*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl has to be used instead, for example like in the following: 46*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master 47*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 48*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl Selection of master mode now is also available with all other PHY 49*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl drivers supporting 1000baseT. 50*efd4fc3fSMarius Strobl 51dbc42409SLawrence Stewart20101111: 52dbc42409SLawrence Stewart The TCP stack has received a significant update to add support for 53dbc42409SLawrence Stewart modularised congestion control and generally improve the clarity of 54dbc42409SLawrence Stewart congestion control decisions. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025. User 55dbc42409SLawrence Stewart space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. 56dbc42409SLawrence Stewart sockstat) need to be recompiled. 57dbc42409SLawrence Stewart 58fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow20101002: 59fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow The man(1) utility has been replaced by a new version that no longer 60fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow uses /etc/manpath.config. Please consult man.conf(5) for how to 61fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow migrate local entries to the new format. 62fd77eab9SGordon Tetlow 63337299c6SEd Maste20100928: 64337299c6SEd Maste The copyright strings printed by login(1) and sshd(8) at the time of a 65337299c6SEd Maste new connection have been removed to follow other operating systems and 66337299c6SEd Maste upstream sshd. 67337299c6SEd Maste 68f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon20100915: 69f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon A workaround for a fixed ld bug has been removed in kernel code, 70f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon so make sure that your system ld is built from sources after 71130a0815SAndriy Gapon revision 210245 from 2010-07-19 (r211583 if building head kernel 72130a0815SAndriy Gapon on stable/8, r211584 for stable/7; both from 2010-08-21). 73130a0815SAndriy Gapon A symptom of incorrect ld version is different addresses for 74130a0815SAndriy Gapon set_pcpu section and __start_set_pcpu symbol in kernel and/or modules. 75f8fc818bSAndriy Gapon 76d69eb520SRui Paulo20100913: 77d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_prefer variable in rc.conf(5) has been split into 78d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato $ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces. 79d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 80d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined 81d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato address selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8). A value 82d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato "ipv4_prefer", "ipv6_prefer" or "AUTO" can be specified. The 83d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato default is "AUTO". 84d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 85d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces specifies whether IFDISABLED 86d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato flag (see an entry of 20090926) is set on an interface with no 87d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line. The default is "NO" for 88d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato security reason. If you want IPv6 link-local address on all 89d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato interfaces by default, set this to "YES". 90d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 91d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato The old ipv6_prefer="YES" is equivalent to 92d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" and 93d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer". 94d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato 95d3a8a8b9SHiroki Sato20100913: 96d69eb520SRui Paulo DTrace has grown support for userland tracing. Due to this, DTrace is 97d69eb520SRui Paulo now i386 and amd64 only. 98d69eb520SRui Paulo dtruss(1) is now installed by default on those systems and a new 99d69eb520SRui Paulo kernel module is needed for userland tracing: fasttrap. 100d69eb520SRui Paulo No changes to your kernel config file are necessary to enable 101d69eb520SRui Paulo userland tracing, but you might consider adding 'STRIP=' and 102d69eb520SRui Paulo 'CFLAGS+=-fno-omit-frame-pointer' to your make.conf if you want 103d69eb520SRui Paulo to have informative userland stack traces in DTrace (ustack). 104d69eb520SRui Paulo 10540650455SRui Paulo20100725: 10640650455SRui Paulo The acpi_aiboost(4) driver has been removed in favor of the new 10740650455SRui Paulo aibs(4) driver. You should update your kernel configuration file. 10840650455SRui Paulo 1094dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan20100722: 1104dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan BSD grep has been imported to the base system and it is built by 1114dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan default. It is completely BSD licensed, highly GNU-compatible, uses 1124dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan less memory than its GNU counterpart and has a small codebase. 1134dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan However, it is slower than its GNU counterpart, which is mostly 1144dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan noticeable for larger searches, for smaller ones it is measurable 1154dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan but not significant. The reason is complex, the most important factor 1164dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan is that we lack a modern and efficient regex library and GNU 1174dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan overcomes this by optimizing the searches internally. Future work 1184dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan on improving the regex performance is planned, for the meantime, 1194dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan users that need better performance, can build GNU grep instead by 1204dc88ebeSGabor Kovesdan setting the WITH_GNU_GREP knob. 1212965a453SKip Macy 1228fc25799SMartin Matuska20100713: 123c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn Due to the import of powerpc64 support, all existing powerpc kernel 124c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn configuration files must be updated with a machine directive like this: 125c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn machine powerpc powerpc 126c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 127c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn In addition, an updated config(8) is required to build powerpc kernels 128c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn after this change. 129c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn 130c3e289e1SNathan Whitehorn20100713: 1318fc25799SMartin Matuska A new version of ZFS (version 15) has been merged to -HEAD. 1328fc25799SMartin Matuska This version uses a python library for the following subcommands: 1338fc25799SMartin Matuska zfs allow, zfs unallow, zfs groupspace, zfs userspace. 1348fc25799SMartin Matuska For full functionality of these commands the following port must 1358fc25799SMartin Matuska be installed: sysutils/py-zfs 1368fc25799SMartin Matuska 1372965a453SKip Macy20100429: 1382965a453SKip Macy 'vm_page's are now hashed by physical address to an array of mutexes. 1392965a453SKip Macy Currently this is only used to serialize access to hold_count. Over 1402965a453SKip Macy time the page queue mutex will be peeled away. This changes the size 1412965a453SKip Macy of pmap on every architecture. And requires all callers of vm_page_hold 1422965a453SKip Macy and vm_page_unhold to be updated. 1432965a453SKip Macy 14421edb039SAlexander Leidinger20100402: 14521edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there 14621edb039SAlexander Leidinger are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also 14721edb039SAlexander Leidinger affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the 14821edb039SAlexander Leidinger compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions 14921edb039SAlexander Leidinger WITH_CTF=yes"). 15021edb039SAlexander Leidinger When WITH_CTF was specified there before this was silently ignored, 15121edb039SAlexander Leidinger so make sure that WITH_CTF is not used in places which could lead 15221edb039SAlexander Leidinger to unwanted behavior. 15321edb039SAlexander Leidinger 154841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn20100311: 155841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn The kernel option COMPAT_IA32 has been replaced with COMPAT_FREEBSD32 156841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn to allow 32-bit compatibility on non-x86 platforms. All kernel 157841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn configurations on amd64 and ia64 platforms using these options must 158841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn be modified accordingly. 159841c0c7eSNathan Whitehorn 160279d8efeSEd Schouten20100113: 161279d8efeSEd Schouten The utmp user accounting database has been replaced with utmpx, 162279d8efeSEd Schouten the user accounting interface standardized by POSIX. 163279d8efeSEd Schouten Unfortunately the semantics of utmp and utmpx don't match, 164279d8efeSEd Schouten making it practically impossible to support both interfaces. 165279d8efeSEd Schouten The user accounting database is used by tools like finger(1), 166279d8efeSEd Schouten last(1), talk(1), w(1) and ac(8). 167279d8efeSEd Schouten 168279d8efeSEd Schouten All applications in the base system use utmpx. This means only 169279d8efeSEd Schouten local binaries (e.g. from the ports tree) may still use these 170279d8efeSEd Schouten utmp database files. These applications must be rebuilt to make 171279d8efeSEd Schouten use of utmpx. 172279d8efeSEd Schouten 173279d8efeSEd Schouten After the system has been upgraded, it is safe to remove the old 174279d8efeSEd Schouten log files (/var/run/utmp, /var/log/lastlog and /var/log/wtmp*), 1755ab7f1fcSEd Schouten assuming their contents is of no importance anymore. Old wtmp 1765ab7f1fcSEd Schouten databases can only be used by last(1) and ac(8) after they have 1775ab7f1fcSEd Schouten been converted to the new format using wtmpcvt(1). 178279d8efeSEd Schouten 179f7829d0dSAttilio Rao20100108: 180f7829d0dSAttilio Rao Introduce the kernel thread "deadlock resolver" (which can be enabled 181f7829d0dSAttilio Rao via the DEADLKRES option, see NOTES for more details) and the 182f7829d0dSAttilio Rao sleepq_type() function for sleepqueues. 183f7829d0dSAttilio Rao 184f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO20091202: 185f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO The rc.firewall and rc.firewall6 were unified, and 186f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO rc.firewall6 and rc.d/ip6fw were removed. 187f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO According to the removal of rc.d/ip6fw, ipv6_firewall_* rc 188f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO variables are obsoleted. Instead, the following new rc 189f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO variables are added to rc.d/ipfw: 190f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO 191f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO firewall_client_net_ipv6, firewall_simple_iif_ipv6, 192f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO firewall_simple_inet_ipv6, firewall_simple_oif_ipv6, 193f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO firewall_simple_onet_ipv6, firewall_trusted_ipv6 194f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO 195f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO The meanings correspond to the relevant IPv4 variables. 196f2cb5f03SHajimu UMEMOTO 197e409c5c8SChristian Brueffer20091125: 198e409c5c8SChristian Brueffer 8.0-RELEASE. 199e409c5c8SChristian Brueffer 200e42fc368SEd Schouten20091113: 201e42fc368SEd Schouten The default terminal emulation for syscons(4) has been changed 2024b2361f8SEd Schouten from cons25 to xterm on all platforms except pc98. This means 2034b2361f8SEd Schouten that the /etc/ttys file needs to be updated to ensure correct 2044b2361f8SEd Schouten operation of applications on the console. 205e42fc368SEd Schouten 206e42fc368SEd Schouten The terminal emulation style can be toggled per window by using 2074b2361f8SEd Schouten vidcontrol(1)'s -T flag. The TEKEN_CONS25 kernel configuration 2084b2361f8SEd Schouten options can be used to change the compile-time default back to 2094b2361f8SEd Schouten cons25. 210e42fc368SEd Schouten 211e42fc368SEd Schouten To prevent graphical artifacts, make sure the TERM environment 212e42fc368SEd Schouten variable is set to match the terminal emulation that is being 213e42fc368SEd Schouten performed by syscons(4). 214e42fc368SEd Schouten 21507ddebb5SRui Paulo20091109: 21607ddebb5SRui Paulo The layout of the structure ieee80211req_scan_result has changed. 21707ddebb5SRui Paulo Applications that require wireless scan results (e.g. ifconfig(8)) 21807ddebb5SRui Paulo from net80211 need to be recompiled. 21907ddebb5SRui Paulo 22096b4300cSDoug Barton Applications such as wpa_supplicant(8) may require a full world 22196b4300cSDoug Barton build without using NO_CLEAN in order to get synchronized with the 22296b4300cSDoug Barton new structure. 22396b4300cSDoug Barton 22463b49c2bSRui Paulo20091025: 22563b49c2bSRui Paulo The iwn(4) driver has been updated to support the 5000 and 5150 series. 22663b49c2bSRui Paulo There's one kernel module for each firmware. Adding "device iwnfw" 22763b49c2bSRui Paulo to the kernel configuration file means including all three firmware 22863b49c2bSRui Paulo images inside the kernel. If you want to include just the one for 22963b49c2bSRui Paulo your wireless card, use the the devices iwn4965fw, iwn5000fw or 23063b49c2bSRui Paulo iwn5150fw. 23163b49c2bSRui Paulo 2322e77c5abSHiroki Sato20090926: 2332e77c5abSHiroki Sato The rc.d/network_ipv6, IPv6 configuration script has been integrated 2342e77c5abSHiroki Sato into rc.d/netif. The changes are the following: 2352e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2362e77c5abSHiroki Sato 1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF 2372e77c5abSHiroki Sato for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used. 2382e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head. 2392e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2402e77c5abSHiroki Sato Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not 2412e77c5abSHiroki Sato understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases. 2422e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2432e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but 2442e77c5abSHiroki Sato they are obsolete. 2452e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2462e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and 2472e77c5abSHiroki Sato "inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead. 2482e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2492e77c5abSHiroki Sato If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and 2502e77c5abSHiroki Sato all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the 2512e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility. 2522e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2532e77c5abSHiroki Sato 3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6 2542e77c5abSHiroki Sato functionality of interfaces with no corresponding 2552e77c5abSHiroki Sato $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag, 2562e77c5abSHiroki Sato and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8) 2572e77c5abSHiroki Sato is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details). 2582e77c5abSHiroki Sato Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the 2592e77c5abSHiroki Sato disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by 2602e77c5abSHiroki Sato using ifconfig(8) like: 2612e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2622e77c5abSHiroki Sato ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled 2632e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2642e77c5abSHiroki Sato If YES, the default address selection policy is set as 2652e77c5abSHiroki Sato IPv6-preferred. 2662e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2672e77c5abSHiroki Sato The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO. 2682e77c5abSHiroki Sato 2692e77c5abSHiroki Sato 4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages, 2702e77c5abSHiroki Sato define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8) 2712e77c5abSHiroki Sato scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes 2722e77c5abSHiroki Sato UP. The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC 2732e77c5abSHiroki Sato (State-Less Address AutoConfiguration). 2742e77c5abSHiroki Sato 275350036a0SRui Paulo20090922: 276350036a0SRui Paulo 802.11s D3.03 support was committed.

As long as no more than 16 groups per process are used, 360456b5dd8SWarner Losh no changes should be visible. When more than 16 groups are used, old 361456b5dd8SWarner Losh binaries may fail if they call getgroups() or getgrouplist() with 362456b5dd8SWarner Losh statically sized storage. Recompiling will work around this, but 363456b5dd8SWarner Losh applications should be modified to use dynamically allocated storage 364456b5dd8SWarner Losh for group arrays as POSIX.1-2008 does not cap an implementation's 365456b5dd8SWarner Losh number of supported groups at NGROUPS_MAX+1 as previous versions did. 366838d9858SBrooks Davis 367456b5dd8SWarner Losh NFS and portalfs mounts may also be affected as the list of groups is 368456b5dd8SWarner Losh truncated to 16. Users of NFS who use more than 16 groups, should 369456b5dd8SWarner Losh take care that negative group permissions are not used on the exported 370456b5dd8SWarner Losh file systems as they will not be reliable unless a GSSAPI based 371456b5dd8SWarner Losh authentication method is used. 372838d9858SBrooks Davis 373651175c9SAttilio Rao20090616: 374456b5dd8SWarner Losh The compiling option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS has been introduced.

VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 46333cde130SBruce M Simpson The implementation of SSM within FreeBSD's IPv6 stack closely 46433cde130SBruce M Simpson follows the IPv4 implementation. 46533cde130SBruce M Simpson 46633cde130SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers: 46733cde130SBruce M Simpson 46833cde130SBruce M Simpson * The most important changes are that the ip6_output() and 46933cde130SBruce M Simpson ip6_input() paths no longer take the IN6_MULTI_LOCK, 47033cde130SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 47133cde130SBruce M Simpson 47233cde130SBruce M Simpson * As with the changes to the IPv4 stack to support SSM, filtering 47333cde130SBruce M Simpson of inbound multicast traffic must now be performed by transport 47433cde130SBruce M Simpson protocols within the IPv6 stack. This does not apply to TCP and 47533cde130SBruce M Simpson SCTP, however, it does apply to UDP in IPv6 and raw IPv6. 47633cde130SBruce M Simpson 47733cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KPIs used by IPv6 multicast are similar to those used by 47833cde130SBruce M Simpson the IPv4 stack, with the following differences: 47933cde130SBruce M Simpson * im6o_mc_filter() is analogous to imo_multicast_filter(). 48033cde130SBruce M Simpson * The legacy KAME entry points in6_joingroup and in6_leavegroup() 48133cde130SBruce M Simpson are shimmed to in6_mc_join() and in6_mc_leave() respectively. 48233cde130SBruce M Simpson * IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI() has been deprecated and removed. 48333cde130SBruce M Simpson * IPv6 relies on MLD for the DAD mechanism. KAME's internal KPIs 48433cde130SBruce M Simpson for MLDv1 have an additional 'timer' argument which is used to 48533cde130SBruce M Simpson jitter the initial membership report for the solicited-node 48633cde130SBruce M Simpson multicast membership on-link. 48733cde130SBruce M Simpson * This is not strictly needed for MLDv2, which already jitters 48833cde130SBruce M Simpson its report transmissions. However, the 'timer' argument is 48933cde130SBruce M Simpson preserved in case MLDv1 is active on the interface. 49033cde130SBruce M Simpson 49133cde130SBruce M Simpson * The KAME linked-list based IPv6 membership implementation has 49233cde130SBruce M Simpson been refactored to use a vector similar to that used by the IPv4 49333cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 49433cde130SBruce M Simpson Code which maintains a list of its own multicast memberships 49533cde130SBruce M Simpson internally, e.g. carp, has been updated to reflect the new 49633cde130SBruce M Simpson semantics. 49733cde130SBruce M Simpson 49833cde130SBruce M Simpson * There is a known Lock Order Reversal (LOR) due to in6_setscope() 49933cde130SBruce M Simpson acquiring the IF_AFDATA_LOCK and being called within ip6_output(). 50033cde130SBruce M Simpson Whilst MLDv2 tries to avoid this otherwise benign LOR, it is an 50133cde130SBruce M Simpson implementation constraint which needs to be addressed in HEAD. 50233cde130SBruce M Simpson 50333cde130SBruce M Simpson For application developers: 50433cde130SBruce M Simpson 50533cde130SBruce M Simpson * The changes are broadly similar to those made for the IPv4 50633cde130SBruce M Simpson stack. 50733cde130SBruce M Simpson 50833cde130SBruce M Simpson * The use of IPv4 and IPv6 multicast socket options on the same 50933cde130SBruce M Simpson socket, using mapped addresses, HAS NOT been tested or supported. 51033cde130SBruce M Simpson 51133cde130SBruce M Simpson * There are a number of issues with the implementation of various 51233cde130SBruce M Simpson IPv6 multicast APIs which need to be resolved in the API surface 51333cde130SBruce M Simpson before the implementation is fully compatible with KAME userland 51433cde130SBruce M Simpson use, and these are mostly to do with interface index treatment. 51533cde130SBruce M Simpson 51633cde130SBruce M Simpson * The literature available discusses the use of either the delta / ASM 51733cde130SBruce M Simpson API with setsockopt(2)/getsockopt(2), or the full-state / ASM API 51833cde130SBruce M Simpson using setsourcefilter(3)/getsourcefilter(3). For more information 51933cde130SBruce M Simpson please refer to RFC 3768, 'Socket Interface Extensions for 52033cde130SBruce M Simpson Multicast Source Filters'. 52133cde130SBruce M Simpson 52233cde130SBruce M Simpson * Applications which use the published RFC 3678 APIs should be fine. 52333cde130SBruce M Simpson 52433cde130SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators: 52533cde130SBruce M Simpson 52633cde130SBruce M Simpson * The mtest(8) utility has been refactored to support IPv6, in 52733cde130SBruce M Simpson addition to IPv4. Interface addresses are no longer accepted 52833cde130SBruce M Simpson as arguments, their names must be used instead. The utility 52933cde130SBruce M Simpson will map the interface name to its first IPv4 address as 53033cde130SBruce M Simpson returned by getifaddrs(3). 53133cde130SBruce M Simpson 53233cde130SBruce M Simpson * The ifmcstat(8) utility has also been updated to print the MLDv2 53333cde130SBruce M Simpson endpoint state and source filter lists via sysctl(3). 53433cde130SBruce M Simpson 53533cde130SBruce M Simpson * The net.inet6.ip6.mcast.loop sysctl may be tuned to 0 to disable 53633cde130SBruce M Simpson loopback of IPv6 multicast datagrams by default; it defaults to 1 53733cde130SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. Disabling multicast loopback is 53833cde130SBruce M Simpson recommended for optimal system performance. 53933cde130SBruce M Simpson 54033cde130SBruce M Simpson * The IPv6 MROUTING code has been changed to examine this sysctl 54133cde130SBruce M Simpson instead of attempting to perform a group lookup before looping 54233cde130SBruce M Simpson back forwarded datagrams. 54333cde130SBruce M Simpson 54433cde130SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084. 54533cde130SBruce M Simpson 5468b8bf775SRobert Watson20090422: 547131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin Implement low-level Bluetooth HCI API. 548131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800083. 549131cdffbSMaksim Yevmenkin 5508b8bf775SRobert Watson20090419: 5518b8bf775SRobert Watson The layout of struct malloc_type, used by modules to register new 5528b8bf775SRobert Watson memory allocation types, has changed.

This follows 6132b78d306SAndrew Thompson Linux removing theirs in 2.6 and making libusb the default interface 6142b78d306SAndrew Thompson (supported by sane). 6152b78d306SAndrew Thompson 6162b78d306SAndrew Thompson20090319: 617443fc317SBruce M Simpson The multicast forwarding code has been cleaned up. netstat(1) 618443fc317SBruce M Simpson only relies on KVM now for printing bandwidth upcall meters. 619443fc317SBruce M Simpson The IPv4 and IPv6 modules are split into ip_mroute_mod and 620443fc317SBruce M Simpson ip6_mroute_mod respectively. The config(5) options for statically 621443fc317SBruce M Simpson compiling this code remain the same, i.e. 'options MROUTING'. 622443fc317SBruce M Simpson 6231df14375SRobert Watson20090315: 6241df14375SRobert Watson Support for the IFF_NEEDSGIANT network interface flag has been 6251df14375SRobert Watson removed, which means that non-MPSAFE network device drivers are no 6261df14375SRobert Watson longer supported. In particular, if_ar, if_sr, and network device 6271df14375SRobert Watson drivers from the old (legacy) USB stack can no longer be built or 6281df14375SRobert Watson used. 6291df14375SRobert Watson 630e667034dSRui Paulo20090313: 6317e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan POSIX.1 Native Language Support (NLS) has been enabled in libc and 6327e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan a bunch of new language catalog files have also been added. 6337e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan This means that some common libc messages are now localized and 6347e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan they depend on the LC_MESSAGES environmental variable. 6357e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan 6367e06afcaSGabor Kovesdan20090313: 637e667034dSRui Paulo The k8temp(4) driver has been renamed to amdtemp(4) since 6388fb1e038SDavid E. O'Brien support for Family 10 and Family 11 CPU families was added. 639e667034dSRui Paulo 640a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson20090309: 641d10910e6SBruce M Simpson IGMPv3 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged 642d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to the IPv4 stack. VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used. 643d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 644d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For kernel developers, the most important changes are that the 645d10910e6SBruce M Simpson ip_output() and ip_input() paths no longer take the IN_MULTI_LOCK(), 646d10910e6SBruce M Simpson and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex. 647d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 648d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transport protocols (UDP, Raw IP) are now responsible for filtering 649d10910e6SBruce M Simpson inbound multicast traffic according to group membership and source 650d10910e6SBruce M Simpson filters. The imo_multicast_filter() KPI exists for this purpose. 651d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Transports which do not use multicast (SCTP, TCP) already reject 652d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast by default. Forwarding and receive performance may improve 653d10910e6SBruce M Simpson as a mutex acquisition is no longer needed in the ip_input() 654d10910e6SBruce M Simpson low-level input path. in_addmulti() and in_delmulti() are shimmed 655d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to new KPIs which exist to support SSM in-kernel. 656d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 657d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For application developers, it is recommended that loopback of 658d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast datagrams be disabled for best performance, as this 659d10910e6SBruce M Simpson will still cause the lock to be taken for each looped-back 660d10910e6SBruce M Simpson datagram transmission. The net.inet.ip.mcast.loop sysctl may 661d10910e6SBruce M Simpson be tuned to 0 to disable loopback by default; it defaults to 1 662d10910e6SBruce M Simpson to preserve the existing behaviour. 663d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 664d10910e6SBruce M Simpson For systems administrators, to obtain best performance with 665d10910e6SBruce M Simpson multicast reception and multiple groups, it is always recommended 666d10910e6SBruce M Simpson that a card with a suitably precise hash filter is used. Hash 667d10910e6SBruce M Simpson collisions will still result in the lock being taken within the 668d10910e6SBruce M Simpson transport protocol input path to check group membership. 669d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 670d10910e6SBruce M Simpson If deploying FreeBSD in an environment with IGMP snooping switches, 671d10910e6SBruce M Simpson it is recommended that the net.inet.igmp.sendlocal sysctl remain 672d10910e6SBruce M Simpson enabled; this forces 224.0.0.0/24 group membership to be announced 673d10910e6SBruce M Simpson via IGMP. 674d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 675d10910e6SBruce M Simpson The size of 'struct igmpstat' has changed; netstat needs to be 676d10910e6SBruce M Simpson recompiled to reflect this. 677d10910e6SBruce M Simpson Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800070. 678d10910e6SBruce M Simpson 679d10910e6SBruce M Simpson20090309: 680a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson libusb20.so.1 is now installed as libusb.so.1 and the ports system 681a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson updated to use it. This requires a buildworld/installworld in order to 682a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson update the library and dependencies (usbconfig, etc). Its advisable to 683cb2fe9b1SStanislav Sedov rebuild all ports which uses libusb. More specific directions are given 6840ee5826eSAndrew Thompson in the ports collection UPDATING file. Any /etc/libmap.conf entries for 6853296f80dSAndrew Thompson libusb are no longer required and can be removed. 686a091d2a5SAndrew Thompson 68765067cc8SKonstantin Belousov20090302: 6889f960e98SKonstantin Belousov A workaround is committed to allow the creation of System V shared 6899f960e98SKonstantin Belousov memory segment of size > 2 GB on the 64-bit architectures. 6909f960e98SKonstantin Belousov Due to a limitation of the existing ABI, the shm_segsz member 69165067cc8SKonstantin Belousov of the struct shmid_ds, returned by shmctl(IPC_STAT) call is 692813bb2c9SJoel Dahl wrong for large segments. Note that limits must be explicitly 69365067cc8SKonstantin Belousov raised to allow such segments to be created. 69465067cc8SKonstantin Belousov 695176273eaSRobert Watson20090301: 696176273eaSRobert Watson The layout of struct ifnet has changed, requiring a rebuild of all 697176273eaSRobert Watson network device driver modules. 698176273eaSRobert Watson 699a13a5664SAndrew Thompson20090227: 700a13a5664SAndrew Thompson The /dev handling for the new USB stack has changed, a 701a13a5664SAndrew Thompson buildworld/installworld is required for libusb20. 702a13a5664SAndrew Thompson 70371e9286cSAndrew Thompson20090223: 70471e9286cSAndrew Thompson The new USB2 stack has now been permanently moved in and all kernel and 705200dcf9aSAndrew Thompson module names reverted to their previous values (eg, usb, ehci, ohci, 7069c1e15b5SAndrew Thompson ums, ...). The old usb stack can be compiled in by prefixing the name 70771e9286cSAndrew Thompson with the letter 'o', the old usb modules have been removed. 708a709c9a6SWarner Losh Updating entry 20090216 for xorg and 20090215 for libmap may still 709a709c9a6SWarner Losh apply. 71071e9286cSAndrew Thompson 711553bf6a4SMike Makonnen20090217: 712553bf6a4SMike Makonnen The rc.conf(5) option if_up_delay has been renamed to 713553bf6a4SMike Makonnen defaultroute_delay to better reflect its purpose. If you have 714553bf6a4SMike Makonnen customized this setting in /etc/rc.conf you need to update it to 715553bf6a4SMike Makonnen use the new name. 716553bf6a4SMike Makonnen 717bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson20090216: 718bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not 719bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson yet work with USB2. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then 720bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson add 721bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off" 722bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured 723cbb9c89eSMaxim Konovalov kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf. 724bb71e4b6SAndrew Thompson 725e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson20090215: 726e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson The GENERIC kernels for all architectures now default to the new USB2 727e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson stack. No kernel config options or code have been removed so if a 728e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson problem arises please report it and optionally revert to the old USB 729e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson stack. If you are loading USB kernel modules or have a custom kernel 730e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson that includes GENERIC then ensure that usb names are also changed over, 731cbb9c89eSMaxim Konovalov eg uftdi -> usb2_serial_ftdi. 732e4edc14eSAndrew Thompson 733a709c9a6SWarner Losh Older programs linked against the ports libusb 0.1 need to be 734a709c9a6SWarner Losh redirected to the new stack's libusb20. /etc/libmap.conf can 735a709c9a6SWarner Losh be used for this: 736a709c9a6SWarner Losh # Map old usb library to new one for usb2 stack 737a709c9a6SWarner Losh libusb-0.1.so.8 libusb20.so.1 738a709c9a6SWarner Losh 73921293e70SAndrew Thompson20090209: 74021293e70SAndrew Thompson All USB ethernet devices now attach as interfaces under the name ueN 74121293e70SAndrew Thompson (eg. ue0). This is to provide a predictable name as vendors often 74221293e70SAndrew Thompson change usb chipsets in a product without notice. 74321293e70SAndrew Thompson 74414943437SJohn Baldwin20090203: 74514943437SJohn Baldwin The ichsmb(4) driver has been changed to require SMBus slave 74614943437SJohn Baldwin addresses be left-justified (xxxxxxx0b) rather than right-justified. 74714943437SJohn Baldwin All of the other SMBus controller drivers require left-justified 74814943437SJohn Baldwin slave addresses, so this change makes all the drivers provide the 74914943437SJohn Baldwin same interface. 75014943437SJohn Baldwin 75109f8c3ffSBjoern A.

With this 875eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav upgrade, we've switched to the vendor's default of RSA over 876eaeb50d4SDag-Erling Smørgrav DSA.

You may need to reconfigure applications to 899f4d811f0SEd Schouten use the new device names. 900f4d811f0SEd Schouten 901db96ec0bSEd Schouten When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update 902db96ec0bSEd Schouten /boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel. 903db96ec0bSEd Schouten If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints 904db96ec0bSEd Schouten at the loader prompt: 905db96ec0bSEd Schouten 906db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.at="isa" 907db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8" 908db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10" 909db96ec0bSEd Schouten set hint.uart.0.irq="4" 910db96ec0bSEd Schouten boot -s 911db96ec0bSEd Schouten 912bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar20080609: 913bdc03b37SMarcel Moolenaar The gpt(8) utility has been removed.

Zeeb 9264dcedde3SJulian Elischer20080509: 9274dcedde3SJulian Elischer I have checked in code to support multiple routing tables. 928032e0bf8SMaxim Konovalov See the man pages setfib(1) and setfib(2). 9294dcedde3SJulian Elischer This is a hopefully backwards compatible version, 9304dcedde3SJulian Elischer but to make use of it you need to compile your kernel 9314dcedde3SJulian Elischer with options ROUTETABLES=2 (or more up to 16). 9324dcedde3SJulian Elischer 933de570baaSSam Leffler20080420: 934de570baaSSam Leffler The 802.11 wireless support was redone to enable multi-bss 935de570baaSSam Leffler operation on devices that are capable. The underlying device 936de570baaSSam Leffler is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are 937de570baaSSam Leffler cloned with ifconfig. This requires changes to rc.conf files. 9385318f840SWarner Losh For example, change: 9395318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP" 9405318f840SWarner Losh to 9415318f840SWarner Losh wlans_ath0=wlan0 9425318f840SWarner Losh ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" 9430f95e625SWarner Losh see rc.conf(5) for more details. In addition, mergemaster of 9440f95e625SWarner Losh /etc/rc.d is highly recommended. Simultaneous update of userland 9450f95e625SWarner Losh and kernel wouldn't hurt either. 946de570baaSSam Leffler 947de570baaSSam Leffler As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta 948de570baaSSam Leffler modules were merged into the base wlan module. All references 949de570baaSSam Leffler to these modules (e.g. in kernel config files) must be removed. 950de570baaSSam Leffler 951ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim20080408: 952ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim psm(4) has gained write(2) support in native operation level. 953ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim Arbitrary commands can be written to /dev/psm%d and status can 954ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim be read back from it. Therefore, an application is responsible 955ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim for status validation and error recovery. It is a no-op in 956ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim other operation levels. 957ff0af72cSJung-uk Kim 958e4c67b94SJeff Roberson20080312: 959e4c67b94SJeff Roberson Support for KSE threading has been removed from the kernel. To 960e4c67b94SJeff Roberson run legacy applications linked against KSE libmap.conf may 961e4c67b94SJeff Roberson be used. The following libmap.conf may be used to ensure 962e4c67b94SJeff Roberson compatibility with any prior release: 963e4c67b94SJeff Roberson 964e4c67b94SJeff Roberson libpthread.so.1 libthr.so.1 965e4c67b94SJeff Roberson libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2 966e4c67b94SJeff Roberson libkse.so.3 libthr.so.3 967e4c67b94SJeff Roberson 9688775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar20080301: 9698775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar The layout of struct vmspace has changed. This affects libkvm 9708775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar and any executables that link against libkvm and use the 9718775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar kvm_getprocs() function. In particular, but not exclusively, 9728775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar it affects ps(1), fstat(1), pkill(1), systat(1), top(1) and w(1). 9738775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar The effects are minimal, but it's advisable to upgrade world 9748775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar nonetheless. 9758775db6fSMarcel Moolenaar 976df09ebc0SJack F Vogel20080229: 977df09ebc0SJack F Vogel The latest em driver no longer has support in it for the 978df09ebc0SJack F Vogel 82575 adapter, this is now moved to the igb driver. The 979df09ebc0SJack F Vogel split was done to make new features that are incompatible 980df09ebc0SJack F Vogel with older hardware easier to do. 981df09ebc0SJack F Vogel 9821669d8afSAndrew Thompson20080220: 9831669d8afSAndrew Thompson The new geom_lvm(4) geom class has been renamed to geom_linux_lvm(4), 9841669d8afSAndrew Thompson likewise the kernel option is now GEOM_LINUX_LVM. 9851669d8afSAndrew Thompson 9862427fa19SKris Kennaway20080211: 9872427fa19SKris Kennaway The default NFS mount mode has changed from UDP to TCP for 9882427fa19SKris Kennaway increased reliability. If you rely on (insecurely) NFS 9892427fa19SKris Kennaway mounting across a firewall you may need to update your 9902427fa19SKris Kennaway firewall rules. 9912427fa19SKris Kennaway 9925e9f6b73SSam Leffler20080208: 9935e9f6b73SSam Leffler Belatedly note the addition of m_collapse for compacting 9945e9f6b73SSam Leffler mbuf chains. 9955e9f6b73SSam Leffler 99648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy20080126: 99748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy The fts(3) structures have been changed to use adequate 99848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy integer types for their members and so to be able to cope 99948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy with huge file trees. The old fts(3) ABI is preserved 100048aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy through symbol versioning in libc, so third-party binaries 100148aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy using fts(3) should still work, although they will not take 100248aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy advantage of the extended types. At the same time, some 100348aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy third-party software might fail to build after this change 100448aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy due to unportable assumptions made in its source code about 100548aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy fts(3) structure members. Such software should be fixed 100648aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy by its vendor or, in the worst case, in the ports tree. 100748aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy FreeBSD_version 800015 marks this change for the unlikely 100848aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy case that a portable fix is impossible. 100948aaad5fSYaroslav Tykhiy 101051dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov20080123: 10118015f45cSWarner Losh To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running 101251dc1e12SRuslan Ermilov FreeBSD not older than 6.0-RELEASE. Upgrading to -current 10138015f45cSWarner Losh from 5.x now requires a stop over at RELENG_6 or RELENG_7 systems. 10148015f45cSWarner Losh 1015ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato20071128: 1016ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato The ADAPTIVE_GIANT kernel option has been retired because its 1017ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato functionality is the default now. 1018ab4a2c41SMatteo Riondato 1019e393af84SMarius Strobl20071118: 1020e393af84SMarius Strobl The AT keyboard emulation of sunkbd(4) has been turned on 1021e393af84SMarius Strobl by default. In order to make the special symbols of the Sun 1022e393af84SMarius Strobl keyboards driven by sunkbd(4) work under X these now have 1023e393af84SMarius Strobl to be configured the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven 1024e393af84SMarius Strobl by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation), f.e.: 1025e393af84SMarius Strobl 1026e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbLayout" "us" 1027e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbRules" "xorg" 1028e393af84SMarius Strobl Option "XkbSymbols" "pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+us" 1029e393af84SMarius Strobl 103033d3fffaSMarius Strobl20071024: 103133d3fffaSMarius Strobl It has been decided that it is desirable to provide ABI 103233d3fffaSMarius Strobl backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of the 103333d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was 103433d3fffaSMarius Strobl broken with the introduction of PCI domain support (see the 103533d3fffaSMarius Strobl 20070930 entry). Unfortunately, this required the ABI of 103633d3fffaSMarius Strobl PCIOCGETCONF to be broken again in order to be able to 103733d3fffaSMarius Strobl provide backwards compatibility to the old version of that 103833d3fffaSMarius Strobl IOCTL. Thus consumers of PCIOCGETCONF have to be recompiled 103933d3fffaSMarius Strobl again. As for prominent ports this affects neither pciutils 104033d3fffaSMarius Strobl nor xorg-server this time, the hal port needs to be rebuilt 104133d3fffaSMarius Strobl however. 104233d3fffaSMarius Strobl 10433d461febSJulian Elischer20071020: 10443d461febSJulian Elischer The misnamed kthread_create() and friends have been renamed 10453d461febSJulian Elischer to kproc_create() etc. Many of the callers already 10463d461febSJulian Elischer used kproc_start().. 10473d461febSJulian Elischer I will return kthread_create() and friends in a while 10483d461febSJulian Elischer with implementations that actually create threads, not procs. 10493d461febSJulian Elischer Renaming corresponds with version 800002. 10503d461febSJulian Elischer 1051c15e0967SKen Smith20071010: 1052c15e0967SKen Smith RELENG_7 branched. 1053c15e0967SKen Smith 1054dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshCOMMON ITEMS: 1055dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1056a24eff53SWarner Losh General Notes 1057a24eff53SWarner Losh ------------- 1058456b5dd8SWarner Losh Avoid using make -j when upgrading. While generally safe, there are 1059456b5dd8SWarner Losh sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with 10601733d35cSRuslan Ermilov -j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there 1061456b5dd8SWarner Losh have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This 1062456b5dd8SWarner Losh is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one 1063456b5dd8SWarner Losh that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when 1064456b5dd8SWarner Losh several months have passed on the -current branch). 1065a24eff53SWarner Losh 10665780f3baSWarner Losh Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment 10675780f3baSWarner Losh poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its 1068456b5dd8SWarner Losh environment when searching for values for global variables. To run 1069456b5dd8SWarner Losh your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make 1070456b5dd8SWarner Losh commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details. 10715780f3baSWarner Losh 1072456b5dd8SWarner Losh When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best 1073456b5dd8SWarner Losh to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, 1074456b5dd8SWarner Losh then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade 1075456b5dd8SWarner Losh path, and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try 1076456b5dd8SWarner Losh this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade. 1077081ff8acSDoug Barton 10788fc25799SMartin Matuska ZFS notes 10798fc25799SMartin Matuska --------- 10808fc25799SMartin Matuska When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow 10818fc25799SMartin Matuska these two steps: 10828fc25799SMartin Matuska 10838fc25799SMartin Matuska 1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block 10848fc25799SMartin Matuska (this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld") 10858fc25799SMartin Matuska 10868fc25799SMartin Matuska 2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive 10878fc25799SMartin Matuska 10888fc25799SMartin Matuska The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first 10898fc25799SMartin Matuska partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ad0: 10908fc25799SMartin Matuska "gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0" 10918fc25799SMartin Matuska 10928fc25799SMartin Matuska Non-boot pools do not need these updates. 10938fc25799SMartin Matuska 1094dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh To build a kernel 1095dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh ----------------- 1096ba01eb20SWarner Losh If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just 10971cf0ef11SDavid E.

The -U option is also useful to consider. 121250e8eca6SDoug Barton See mergemaster(8) for more information. 1213a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh 1214835284beSWarner Losh [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time 1215835284beSWarner Losh you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following 1216835284beSWarner Losh step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to 1217835284beSWarner Losh install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make 1218835284beSWarner Losh install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated 1219835284beSWarner Losh from current before 20020224 or from -stable before 20020408. 1220835284beSWarner Losh 1221456b5dd8SWarner Losh [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to 1222456b5dd8SWarner Losh do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in 1223456b5dd8SWarner Losh your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is 1224456b5dd8SWarner Losh hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is 1225456b5dd8SWarner Losh required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. And so on 1226456b5dd8SWarner Losh for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7. 1227c74fe6afSWarner Losh 1228e5dc5f61SWarner Losh Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the 1229e5dc5f61SWarner Losh last time you updated your kernel config file. 1230e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 123121c075eaSWarner Losh [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have 1232e5dc5f61SWarner Losh cvs prune empty directories. 1233e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1234e5dc5f61SWarner Losh If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the 1235e5dc5f61SWarner Losh "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can 1236e5dc5f61SWarner Losh override the CPUTYPE if it needs to. 1237e5dc5f61SWarner Losh 1238e5dc5f61SWarner Losh MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and 1239e5dc5f61SWarner Losh not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will 1240e5dc5f61SWarner Losh warn if it is improperly defined. 1241dc0dbf5cSWarner LoshFORMAT: 1242dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh 1243f699bbbbSMark OvensThis file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major 12441fc1a0dcSWarner Loshbreakages in tracking -current.
