15a53ce3fcSGlen BarberNOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 14.x IS SLOW:
16af3993c9SLi-Wen Hsu	FreeBSD 14.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
17456b5dd8SWarner Losh	and userland.  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".)

30b3823943SWarner Losh20210608:
31*f530cce5SEd Maste	The vendor/openzfs branch was renamed to vendor/openzfs/legacy to
32b3823943SWarner Losh	start tracking OpenZFS upstream more closely. Please see
33b3823943SWarner Loshhttps://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-current/2021-June/000153.html
34b3823943SWarner Losh	for details on how to correct any errors that might result. The
35b3823943SWarner Losh	short version is that you need to remove the old branch locally:
36b3823943SWarner Losh	    git update-ref -d refs/remotes/freebsd/vendor/openzfs
37b3823943SWarner Losh	(assuming your upstream origin is named 'freebsd').

39d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb20210525:
40d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb	Commits 17accc08ae15 and de102f870501 add new files to LinuxKPI
41d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb	which break drm-kmod.  In addition various other additions where
42d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb	comitted. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1400015 to be able to detect this.
43d72cd275SBjoern A. Zeeb
441c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot20210513:
451c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	Commit ca179c4d74f2 changed the package in which the OpenSSL
461c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	libraries and utilities are packaged.
4728ce2012SEmmanuel Vadot	It is recommended for pkgbase user to do:
481c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	pkg install -f FreeBSD-openssl
491c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	before pkg upgrade otherwise some dependencies might not be met
501c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	and pkg will stop working as libssl will not be present anymore
511c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot	on the system.
521c2ab28fSEmmanuel Vadot
5301bad87aSRick Macklem20210426:
5401bad87aSRick Macklem	Commit 875977314881 changed the internal KAPI between
5501bad87aSRick Macklem	the nfsd and nfscommon modules.  As such these modules
5601bad87aSRick Macklem	need to be rebuilt from sources.
5701bad87aSRick Macklem	Without this patch in your NFSv4.1/4.2 server, enabling
5801bad87aSRick Macklem	delegations by setting vfs.nfsd.issue_delegations non-zero
5901bad87aSRick Macklem	is not recommended.
6001bad87aSRick Macklem
6168b7d9b5SRick Macklem20210411:
6268b7d9b5SRick Macklem	Commit 7763814fc9c2 changed the internal KAPI between
6368b7d9b5SRick Macklem	the krpc and NFS.  As such, the krpc, nfscommon and
6468b7d9b5SRick Macklem	nfscl modules must all be rebuilt from sources.
65d647d0d4SRick Macklem	Without this patch, NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts should not
66d647d0d4SRick Macklem	be done with the nfscbd(8) daemon running, to avoid
67d647d0d4SRick Macklem	needing a working back channel for server->client RPCs.
6868b7d9b5SRick Macklem
692b98ea2eSRick Macklem20210330:
702b98ea2eSRick Macklem	Commit 01ae8969a9ee fixed the NFSv4.1/4.2 server so that it
712b98ea2eSRick Macklem	handles binding of the back channel as required by RFC5661.
722b98ea2eSRick Macklem	Until this patch is in your server, avoid use of the "nconnects"
732b98ea2eSRick Macklem	mount option for Linux NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
742b98ea2eSRick Macklem
75ba7ede0bSEd Maste20210225:
76ba7ede0bSEd Maste	For 64-bit architectures the base system is now built with Position
77ba7ede0bSEd Maste	Independent Executable (PIE) support enabled by default.  It may be
78ba7ede0bSEd Maste	disabled using the WITHOUT_PIE knob.  A clean build is required.
79ba7ede0bSEd Maste
80d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb20210128:
81d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb	Various LinuxKPI functionality was added which conflicts with DRM.
82d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb	Please update your drm-kmod port to after the __FreeBSD_verison 1400003
83d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb	update.
84d386f3a3SBjoern A. Zeeb
85429c7d1aSWarner Losh20210108:
86429c7d1aSWarner Losh	PC Card attachments for all devices have been removed. In the case of
87429c7d1aSWarner Losh	wi and cmx, the entire drivers were removed because they were only
88429c7d1aSWarner Losh	PC Card devices. FreeBSD_version 1300134 should be used for this
89429c7d1aSWarner Losh	since it was bumped so recently.
90429c7d1aSWarner Losh
9181098ca8SVladimir Kondratyev20210107:
92a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	Transport-independent parts of HID support have been split off the USB
93a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	code in to separate subsystem.  Kernel configs which include one of
94a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	ums, ukbd, uhid, atp, wsp, wmt, uaudio, ugold or ucycom drivers should
95a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev	be updated with adding of "device hid" line.
96a84b0e94SVladimir Kondratyev
97009c1100SBaptiste Daroussin20210105:
98bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin	ncurses installation has been modified to only keep the widechar
99bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin	enabled version.  Incremental build is broken for that change, so it
100bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin	requires a clean build.
101bed70f83SBaptiste Daroussin
102878d5341SWarner Losh20201223:
103878d5341SWarner Losh	The FreeBSD project has migrated from Subversion to Git. Temporary
104878d5341SWarner Losh	instructions can be found at
105878d5341SWarner Losh	https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/src-cvt.md
106878d5341SWarner Losh	and other documents in that repo.
107878d5341SWarner Losh
108228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni20201216:
109228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	The services database has been updated to cover more of the basic
110228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	services expected in a modern system. The database is big enough
111228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	that it will cause issues in mergemaster in Releases previous to
112228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni	12.2 and 11.3, or in very old current systems from before r358154.
113228e2087SPedro F. Giffuni
1141c0ea326SEd Maste20201215:
1151c0ea326SEd Maste	Obsolete in-tree GDB 6.1.1 has been removed.  GDB (including kgdb)
1161c0ea326SEd Maste	may be installed from ports or packages.
1171c0ea326SEd Maste
1183cde9171SAlan Somers20201124:
1193cde9171SAlan Somers	ping6 has been merged into ping.  It can now be called as "ping -6".
1203cde9171SAlan Somers	See ping(8) for details.
1213cde9171SAlan Somers
1222d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov20201108:
1232d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov	Default value of net.add_addr_allfibs has been changed to 0.
1242d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov	If you have multi-fib configuration and rely on existence of all
1252d398241SAlexander V. Chernikov	interface routes in every fib, you need to set the above sysctl to 1.
126993d2d4bSJens Schweikhardt
127a97cfe08SStefan Eßer20201030:
1287afa1a75SStefan Eßer	The internal pre-processor in the calendar(1) program has been
1297afa1a75SStefan Eßer	extended to support more C pre-processor commands (e.g. #ifdef, #else,
1307afa1a75SStefan Eßer	and #undef) and to detect unbalanced conditional statements.
1317afa1a75SStefan Eßer	Error messages have been extended to include the filename and line
1327afa1a75SStefan Eßer	number if processing stops to help fixing malformed data files.
1337afa1a75SStefan Eßer
134a97cfe08SStefan Eßer20201026:
135d20d6550SWarner Losh	All the data files for the calendar(1) program, except calendar.freebsd,
136d20d6550SWarner Losh	have been moved to the deskutils/calendar-data port, much like the
137d20d6550SWarner Losh	jewish calendar entries were moved to deskutils/hebcal years ago. After
138d20d6550SWarner Losh	make delete-old-files, you need to install it to retain full
139d20d6550SWarner Losh	functionality. calendar(1) will issue a reminder for files it can't
140d20d6550SWarner Losh	find.
141d20d6550SWarner Losh
1427e46dafaSWarner Losh20200923:
1437e46dafaSWarner Losh	LINT files are no longer generated. We now include the relevant NOTES
1447e46dafaSWarner Losh	files. Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases.
1450d948bffSLi-Wen Hsu	        find sys -name LINT\* -delete
1467e46dafaSWarner Losh	is suggested across this commit	to remove the generated	LINT files.
1477e46dafaSWarner Losh
1487e46dafaSWarner Losh	If you have tried to update with generated files there, the svn
1497e46dafaSWarner Losh	command you want to un-auger the tree is
1507e46dafaSWarner Losh		cd sys/amd64/conf
1517e46dafaSWarner Losh		svn revert -R .
1527e46dafaSWarner Losh	and then do the above find from the top level. Substitute 'amd64'
1537e46dafaSWarner Losh	above with where the error message indicates a conflict.
1547e46dafaSWarner Losh
1553c41ca88SWarner Losh20200824:
1565db7b015SMatt Macy	OpenZFS support has been integrated. Do not upgrade root pools until
1575db7b015SMatt Macy	the loader is updated to support zstd. Furthermore, we caution against
1585db7b015SMatt Macy	'zpool upgrade' for the next few weeks. The change should be transparent
1595db7b015SMatt Macy	unless you  want to use new features.
16013e4dbd2SMatt Macy
161d0fba0c5SWarner Losh	Not all "NO_CLEAN" build scenarios work across these changes. Many
162d0fba0c5SWarner Losh	scenarios have been tested and fixed, but rebuilding kernels without
163d0fba0c5SWarner Losh	rebuilding world may fail.
164d0fba0c5SWarner Losh
165f03478b1SWarner Losh	The ZFS cache file has moved from /boot to /etc to match the OpenZFS
166de209fe1SRyan Moeller	upstream default. A fallback to /boot has been added for mountroot.
167de209fe1SRyan Moeller
168de209fe1SRyan Moeller	Pool auto import behavior at boot has been moved from the kernel module
169de209fe1SRyan Moeller	to an explicit "zpool import -a" in one of the rc scripts enabled by
170de209fe1SRyan Moeller	zfs_enable=YES. This means your non-root zpools won't auto import until
171de209fe1SRyan Moeller	you upgrade your /etc/rc.d files.
172f03478b1SWarner Losh
173ea007feeSWarner Losh20200824:
1743c41ca88SWarner Losh	The resume code now notifies devd with the 'kernel' system
1753c41ca88SWarner Losh	rather than the old 'kern' subsystem to be consistent with
1763c41ca88SWarner Losh	other use. The old notification will be created as well, but
1773c41ca88SWarner Losh	will be removed prior to FreeBSD 14.0.
1783c41ca88SWarner Losh
17971bba112SRick Macklem20200821:
18071bba112SRick Macklem	r362275 changed the internal API between the kernel RPC and the
18171bba112SRick Macklem	NFS modules. As such, all the modules must be recompiled from
18271bba112SRick Macklem	sources.
18371bba112SRick Macklem
184a371e791SRick Macklem20200817:
185a371e791SRick Macklem	r364330 modified the internal API used between the NFS modules.
186a371e791SRick Macklem	As such, all the NFS modules must be re-compiled from sources.
187a371e791SRick Macklem
188e61154c4SDimitry Andric20200816:
189b0e89accSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lld, lldb, compiler-rt, libc++, libunwind and openmp have
190b0e89accSDimitry Andric	been upgraded to 11.0.0.  Please see the 20141231 entry below for
191b0e89accSDimitry Andric	information about prerequisites and upgrading, if you are not already
192b0e89accSDimitry Andric	using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
193b0e89accSDimitry Andric
1946d56f524SRick Macklem20200810:
1956d56f524SRick Macklem	r364092 modified the internal ABI used between the kernel NFS
1966d56f524SRick Macklem	modules.  As such, all of these modules need to be rebuilt
1976d56f524SRick Macklem	from sources, so a version bump was done.
1986d56f524SRick Macklem
19933176cdcSWarner Losh20200807:
20033176cdcSWarner Losh	Makefile.inc has been updated to work around the issue documented in
20133176cdcSWarner Losh	20200729. It was a case where the optimization of using symbolic links
20233176cdcSWarner Losh	to point to binaries created a situation where we'd run new binaries
20333176cdcSWarner Losh	with old libraries starting midway through the installworld process.
20433176cdcSWarner Losh
205d2090a40SKyle Evans20200729:
206d2090a40SKyle Evans	r363679 has redefined some undefined behavior in regcomp(3); notably,
207d2090a40SKyle Evans	extraneous escapes of most ordinary characters will no longer be
208d2090a40SKyle Evans	accepted.  An exp-run has identified all of the problems with this in
209d2090a40SKyle Evans	ports, but other non-ports software may need extra escapes removed to
210d2090a40SKyle Evans	continue to function.
211d2090a40SKyle Evans
212d6391a26SKyle Evans	Because of this change, installworld may encounter the following error
213d6391a26SKyle Evans	from rtld: Undefined symbol "regcomp@FBSD_1.6" -- It is imperative that
214d6391a26SKyle Evans	you do not halt installworld. Instead, let it run to completion (whether
215d6391a26SKyle Evans	successful or not) and run installworld once more.
216d6391a26SKyle Evans
217c2caa342SStefan Eßer20200627:
218dee0d87cSWarner Losh	A new implementation of bc and dc has been imported in r362681. This
219c2caa342SStefan Eßer	implementation corrects non-conformant behavior of the previous bc
220c2caa342SStefan Eßer	and adds GNU bc compatible options. It offers a number of extensions,
221c2caa342SStefan Eßer	is much faster on large values, and has support for message catalogs
222c2caa342SStefan Eßer	(a number of languages are already supported, contributions of further
223c2caa342SStefan Eßer	languages welcome). The option WITHOUT_GH_BC can be used to build the
224c2caa342SStefan Eßer	world with the previous versions of bc and dc.
225c2caa342SStefan Eßer
226a9813b6bSRick Macklem20200625:
227a9813b6bSRick Macklem	r362639 changed the internal API used between the NFS kernel modules.
228a9813b6bSRick Macklem	As such, they all need to be rebuilt from sources.
229a9813b6bSRick Macklem
230be8f8ca2SRick Macklem20200613:
231be8f8ca2SRick Macklem	r362158 changed the arguments for VFS_CHECKEXP().  As such, any
232be8f8ca2SRick Macklem	out of tree file systems need to be modified and rebuilt.
233be8f8ca2SRick Macklem	Also, any file systems that are modules must be rebuilt.
234be8f8ca2SRick Macklem
2359b16365fSKyle Evans20200604:
2369b16365fSKyle Evans	read(2) of a directory fd is now rejected by default.  root may
2379b16365fSKyle Evans	re-enable it for system root only on non-ZFS filesystems with the
2389b16365fSKyle Evans	security.bsd.allow_read_dir sysctl(8) MIB if
2399b16365fSKyle Evans	security.bsd.suser_enabled=1.
2409b16365fSKyle Evans
2419b16365fSKyle Evans	It may be advised to setup aliases for grep to default to `-d skip` if
2429b16365fSKyle Evans	commonly non-recursively grepping a list that includes directories and
2439b16365fSKyle Evans	the potential for the resulting stderr output is not tolerable.  Example
2449b16365fSKyle Evans	aliases are now installed, commented out, in /root/.cshrc and
2459b16365fSKyle Evans	/root/.shrc.

2530d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen20200512:
2540d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen	Support for obsolete compilers has been removed from the build system.
2550d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen	Clang 6 and GCC 6.4 are the minimum supported versions.
2560d0f3cdfSEric van Gyzen
257277cd398SKyle Evans20200424:
258679c46f0SKyle Evans	closefrom(2) has been moved under COMPAT12, and replaced in libc with a
259679c46f0SKyle Evans	stub that calls close_range(2).  If using a custom kernel configuration,
260679c46f0SKyle Evans	you may want to ensure that the COMPAT_FREEBSD12 option is included, as
261679c46f0SKyle Evans	a slightly older -CURRENT userland and older FreeBSD userlands may not
262679c46f0SKyle Evans	be functional without closefrom(2).
263679c46f0SKyle Evans
264d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot20200414:
265d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	Upstream DTS from Linux 5.6 was merged and they now have the SID
266d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	and THS (Secure ID controller and THermal Sensor) node present.
267d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	The DTB overlays have now been removed from the tree for the H3/H5 and
268d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	A64 SoCs and the aw_sid and aw_thermal driver have been updated to
269d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	deal with upstream DTS. If you are using those overlays you need to
270d6b44474SEmmanuel Vadot	remove them from loader.conf and update the DTBs on the FAT partition.

311d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis20200212:
312d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	Defining the long deprecated NO_CTF, NO_DEBUG_FILES, NO_INSTALLLIB,
313d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	NO_MAN, NO_PROFILE, and NO_WARNS variables is now an error.  Update
314d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	your Makefiles and scripts to define MK_<var>=no instead as required.
315d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis
316d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	One exception to this is that program or library Makefiles should
317d3a5bf95SBrooks Davis	define MAN to empty rather than setting MK_MAN=no.

3285a0a8597SEd Maste20200104:
3295a0a8597SEd Maste	GCC 4.2.1 is now not built by default, as part of the GCC 4.2.1
3305a0a8597SEd Maste	retirement plan.  Specifically, the GCC, GCC_BOOTSTRAP, and GNUCXX
3315a0a8597SEd Maste	options default to off for all supported CPU architectures.  As a
3325a0a8597SEd Maste	short-term transition aid they may be enabled via WITH_* options.
3335a0a8597SEd Maste	GCC 4.2.1 is expected to be removed from the tree on 2020-03-31.

342bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits	Clang/LLVM is now the default compiler for all powerpc architectures.
343bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits	LLD is now the default linker for powerpc64.  The change for powerpc64
344bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits	also includes a change to the ELFv2 ABI, incompatible with the existing
345bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits	ABI.
346bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits
347bcd3c413SJustin Hibbits20191226:

356a51b1f3fSRick Macklem20191212:
357a51b1f3fSRick Macklem	r355677 has modified the internal interface used between the
358a51b1f3fSRick Macklem	NFS modules in the kernel. As such, they must all be upgraded
359a51b1f3fSRick Macklem	simultaneously. I will do a version bump for this.

3616d69608cSKyle Evans20191205:
3626d69608cSKyle Evans	The root certificates of the Mozilla CA Certificate Store have been
3636d69608cSKyle Evans	imported into the base system and can be managed with the certctl(8)
3646d69608cSKyle Evans	utility.  If you have installed the security/ca_root_nss port or package
3656d69608cSKyle Evans	with the ETCSYMLINK option (the default), be advised that there may be
3666d69608cSKyle Evans	differences between those included in the port and those included in
3676d69608cSKyle Evans	base due to differences in nss branch used as well as general update
3686d69608cSKyle Evans	frequency.  Note also that certctl(8) cannot manage certs in the
3696d69608cSKyle Evans	format used by the security/ca_root_nss port.

3715882cf71SEd Maste20191120:
3725882cf71SEd Maste	The amd(8) automount daemon has been disabled by default, and will be
3735882cf71SEd Maste	removed in the future.  As of FreeBSD 10.1 the autofs(5) is available
3745882cf71SEd Maste	for automounting.

3766b33973bSAndriy Gapon20191107:
3776b33973bSAndriy Gapon	The nctgpio and wbwd drivers have been moved to the superio bus.
3786b33973bSAndriy Gapon	If you have one of these drivers in a kernel configuration, then
3796b33973bSAndriy Gapon	you should add device superio to it.  If you use one of these drivers
3806b33973bSAndriy Gapon	as a module and you compile a custom set of modules, then you should
3816b33973bSAndriy Gapon	add superio to the set.
3826b33973bSAndriy Gapon
3833d501333SKyle Evans20191021:
38419e09f44SGleb Smirnoff	KPIs for network drivers to access interface addresses have changed.
38519e09f44SGleb Smirnoff	Users need to recompile NIC driver modules together with kernel.
38619e09f44SGleb Smirnoff
38719e09f44SGleb Smirnoff20191021:
3883d501333SKyle Evans	The net.link.tap.user_open sysctl no longer prevents user opening of
3893d501333SKyle Evans	already created /dev/tapNN devices.  Access is still controlled by
3903d501333SKyle Evans	node permissions, just like tun devices.  The net.link.tap.user_open
3913d501333SKyle Evans	sysctl is now used only to allow users to perform devfs cloning of
3923d501333SKyle Evans	tap devices, and the subsequent open may not succeed if the user is not
3933d501333SKyle Evans	in the appropriate group.  This sysctl may be deprecated/removed
3943d501333SKyle Evans	completely in the future.

39638c0ca14SDimitry Andric20191009:
39755b92c5fSWarner Losh	mips, powerpc, and sparc64 are no longer built as part of
39855b92c5fSWarner Losh	universe / tinderbox unless MAKE_OBSOLETE_GCC is defined. If
39955b92c5fSWarner Losh	not defined, mips, powerpc, and sparc64 builds will look for
40055b92c5fSWarner Losh	the xtoolchain binaries and if installed use them for universe
40155b92c5fSWarner Losh	builds. As llvm 9.0 becomes vetted for these architectures, they
40255b92c5fSWarner Losh	will be removed from the list.

4109923b641SEd Maste20191003:
4119923b641SEd Maste	The hpt27xx, hptmv, hptnr, and hptrr drivers have been removed from
4129923b641SEd Maste	GENERIC.  They are available as modules and can be loaded by adding
4139923b641SEd Maste	to /boot/loader.conf hpt27xx_load="YES", hptmv_load="YES",

416854cab51SCy Schubert20190913:
417854cab51SCy Schubert	ntpd no longer by default locks its pages in memory, allowing them
418854cab51SCy Schubert	to be paged out by the kernel. Use rlimit memlock to restore
419854cab51SCy Schubert	historic BSD behaviour. For example, add "rlimit memlock 32"
420854cab51SCy Schubert	to ntp.conf to lock up to 32 MB of ntpd address space in memory.

422208ae7b7SAlan Somers20190823:
423208ae7b7SAlan Somers	Several of ping6's options have been renamed for better consistency
424208ae7b7SAlan Somers	with ping.  If you use any of -ARWXaghmrtwx, you must update your
425208ae7b7SAlan Somers	scripts.  See ping6(8) for details.

427a63915c2SAlan Somers20190727:
428bad4c94dSAlan Somers	The vfs.fusefs.sync_unmount and vfs.fusefs.init_backgrounded sysctls
429bad4c94dSAlan Somers	and the "-o sync_unmount" and "-o init_backgrounded" mount options have
430bad4c94dSAlan Somers	been removed from mount_fusefs(8).  You can safely remove them from
431bad4c94dSAlan Somers	your scripts, because they had no effect.
432bad4c94dSAlan Somers
433fcefa6efSAlan Somers	The vfs.fusefs.fix_broken_io, vfs.fusefs.sync_resize,

439fbcfc75aSIan Lepore20190713:
440a97202f1SIan Lepore	Default permissions on the /var/account/acct file (and copies of it
441a97202f1SIan Lepore	rotated by periodic daily scripts) are changed from 0644 to 0640
442a97202f1SIan Lepore	because the file contains sensitive information that should not be
443a97202f1SIan Lepore	world-readable.  If the /var/account directory must be created by
444a97202f1SIan Lepore	rc.d/accounting, the mode used is now 0750.  Admins who use the
445a97202f1SIan Lepore	accounting feature are encouraged to change the mode of an existing
446a97202f1SIan Lepore	/var/account directory to 0750 or 0700.

448c363b16cSConrad Meyer20190620:
44958b5b90dSConrad Meyer	Entropy collection and the /dev/random device are no longer optional
45058b5b90dSConrad Meyer	components.  The "device random" option has been removed.
451c363b16cSConrad Meyer	Implementations of distilling algorithms can still be made loadable

4604c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb20190608:
4614c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb	A fix was applied to i386 kernel modules to avoid panics with
4624c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb	dpcpu or vnet.  Users need to recompile i386 kernel modules
4634c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb	having pcpu or vnet sections or they will refuse to load.
4644c62bffeSBjoern A. Zeeb
465aa0a8933SMark Johnston20190513:
466aa0a8933SMark Johnston	User-wired pages now have their own counter,
467aa0a8933SMark Johnston	vm.stats.vm.v_user_wire_count.  The vm.max_wired sysctl was renamed
468aa0a8933SMark Johnston	to vm.max_user_wired and changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned
469aa0a8933SMark Johnston	long.  bhyve VMs wired with the -S are now subject to the user
470aa0a8933SMark Johnston	wiring limit; the vm.max_user_wired sysctl may need to be tuned to
471aa0a8933SMark Johnston	avoid running into the limit.
472aa0a8933SMark Johnston
473251a32b5SKyle Evans20190507:
474542970faSAndrew Gallatin	The IPSEC option has been removed from GENERIC.  Users requiring
475542970faSAndrew Gallatin	ipsec(4) must now load the ipsec(4) kernel module.
476542970faSAndrew Gallatin
477542970faSAndrew Gallatin20190507:
478251a32b5SKyle Evans	The tap(4) driver has been folded into tun(4), and the module has been
47915e9beb7SKyle Evans	renamed to tuntap.  You should update any kld_list="if_tap" or
48015e9beb7SKyle Evans	kld_list="if_tun" entries in /etc/rc.conf, if_tap_load="YES" or
481251a32b5SKyle Evans	if_tun_load="YES" entries in /boot/loader.conf to load the if_tuntap
482251a32b5SKyle Evans	module instead, and "device tap" or "device tun" entries in kernel
483251a32b5SKyle Evans	config files to select the tuntap device instead.
484251a32b5SKyle Evans
4853782136fSConrad Meyer20190418:
4863782136fSConrad Meyer	The following knobs have been added related to tradeoffs between
4873782136fSConrad Meyer	safe use of the random device and availability in the absence of
4883782136fSConrad Meyer	entropy:
4893782136fSConrad Meyer
4903782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.bypass_before_seeding: tunable; set
4913782136fSConrad Meyer	non-zero to bypass the random device prior to seeding, or zero to
4923782136fSConrad Meyer	block random requests until the random device is initially seeded.
4933782136fSConrad Meyer	For now, set to 1 (unsafe) by default to restore pre-r346250 boot
4943782136fSConrad Meyer	availability properties.
4953782136fSConrad Meyer
4963782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.read_random_bypassed_before_seeding:
4973782136fSConrad Meyer	read-only diagnostic sysctl that is set when bypass is enabled and
4983782136fSConrad Meyer	read_random(9) is bypassed, to enable programmatic handling of this
4993782136fSConrad Meyer	initial condition, if desired.
5003782136fSConrad Meyer
5013782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.arc4random_bypassed_before_seeding:
5023782136fSConrad Meyer	Similar to the above, but for for arc4random(9) initial seeding.
5033782136fSConrad Meyer
5043782136fSConrad Meyer	kern.random.initial_seeding.disable_bypass_warnings: tunable; set
5053782136fSConrad Meyer	non-zero to disable warnings in dmesg when the same conditions are

5083782136fSConrad Meyer
509f3d2512dSConrad Meyer20190416:
510f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	The loadable random module KPI has changed; the random_infra_init()
511f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	routine now requires a 3rd function pointer for a bool (*)(void)
512f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	method that returns true if the random device is seeded (and
513f3d2512dSConrad Meyer	therefore unblocked).

515bcf55f64SRick Macklem20190404:
516bcf55f64SRick Macklem	r345895 reverts r320698. This implies that an nfsuserd(8) daemon
517bcf55f64SRick Macklem	built from head sources between r320757 (July 6, 2017) and
518bcf55f64SRick Macklem	r338192 (Aug. 22, 2018) will not work unless the "-use-udpsock"

523123af6ecSAlan Somers20190320:
524123af6ecSAlan Somers	The fuse(4) module has been renamed to fusefs(4) for consistency with
525123af6ecSAlan Somers	other filesystems.  You should update any kld_load="fuse" entries in

55983a41dd0SRebecca Cran	r342635 changes the way efibootmgr(8) works by requiring users to add
56083a41dd0SRebecca Cran	the -b (bootnum) parameter for commands where the bootnum was previously
56183a41dd0SRebecca Cran	specified with each option. For example 'efibootmgr -B 0001' is now

564d493fe42SRick Macklem20181220:
565d493fe42SRick Macklem	r342286 modifies the NFSv4 server so that it obeys vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport
566d493fe42SRick Macklem	in the same as it is applied to NFSv2 and 3.  This implies that NFSv4
567d493fe42SRick Macklem	servers that have vfs.nfsd.nfs_privport set will only allow mounts
568d493fe42SRick Macklem	from clients using a reserved port#. Since both the FreeBSD and Linux
569d493fe42SRick Macklem	NFSv4 clients use reserved port#s by default, this should not affect
570d493fe42SRick Macklem	most NFSv4 mounts.

620468002c5SWarner Losh20181015:
621468002c5SWarner Losh	Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. Now, amd64 users should
622468002c5SWarner Losh	just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install
623468002c5SWarner Losh	drm-legacy-kmod.
624468002c5SWarner Losh
625468002c5SWarner Losh	Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with
626468002c5SWarner Losh	drm-kmod.  For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need
627468002c5SWarner Losh	to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older
628468002c5SWarner Losh	than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can
629468002c5SWarner Losh	only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the
630468002c5SWarner Losh	market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you
631468002c5SWarner Losh	have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use
632468002c5SWarner Losh	that as you will get better support.
633468002c5SWarner Losh
634468002c5SWarner Losh	Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined
635468002c5SWarner Losh	elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base
636274cfcd7SWarner Losh	soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package
637274cfcd7SWarner Losh	asap and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org.
638468002c5SWarner Losh
639468002c5SWarner Losh	Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add
640468002c5SWarner Losh	WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty
641468002c5SWarner Losh	cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver

660532dc172SKyle Evans	module blacklist, in favor of loading them with kld_list in rc.conf(5).
661532dc172SKyle Evans	The module blacklist may be overridden with the loader.conf(5)

6728d66f7beSEd Maste20180913:
6738d66f7beSEd Maste	Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for
6748d66f7beSEd Maste	FreeBSD 12.0.  This eliminates build metadata such as the user,
6758d66f7beSEd Maste	host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree
6768d66f7beSEd Maste	corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system.

690f9f8ac94SKyle Evans20180818:
691f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua.
692f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default
693f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	interpreter.  If you have custom FORTH code you will need to set
694f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in
695f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	src.conf for the build.  This will create default hard links between
696f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default.
697f9f8ac94SKyle Evans	If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi.
698f9f8ac94SKyle Evans

717b5988450SRavi Pokala	is available in the jedec_dimm(4) driver, and the manpage for that
718b5988450SRavi Pokala	driver includes migration instructions. If you have "device jedec_ts"

7980dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	index. Previously, if all indexes were taken the kernel would overwrite
7990dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	only a core file with the highest index in a filename.
8000dea6e3cSMariusz Zaborski	Currently the system will create a new core file if there is a free

8317e1a13f4SMatt Macy	The on-disk format for hwpmc callchain records has changed to include
8327e1a13f4SMatt Macy	threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets

8426e258ed3SWarner Losh20180510:
843eb8831b9SWarner Losh	The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a
844eb8831b9SWarner Losh	working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default
845eb8831b9SWarner Losh	on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However,
846eb8831b9SWarner Losh	it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional
847eb8831b9SWarner Losh	way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for
848eb8831b9SWarner Losh	binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement
849eb8831b9SWarner Losh	will go away.
850eb8831b9SWarner Losh
8516f282e72SEd Maste	NOTE: As of r334391 lld is the default system linker on amd64, and no

8898129693eSEd Schouten20180406:
8908129693eSEd Schouten	In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the
8918129693eSEd Schouten	syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted
8928129693eSEd Schouten	log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients
8938129693eSEd Schouten	may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers,
8948129693eSEd Schouten	microseconds and time zone offsets.
8958129693eSEd Schouten
8968129693eSEd Schouten	Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to
8978129693eSEd Schouten	send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging
8988129693eSEd Schouten	daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no
8998129693eSEd Schouten	negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are
9008129693eSEd Schouten	updated at the same time. On systems using a different system
9018129693eSEd Schouten	logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration
9028129693eSEd Schouten	adjustments, depending on the software used.
9038129693eSEd Schouten
9048129693eSEd Schouten	When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local
9058129693eSEd Schouten	input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages:
9068129693eSEd Schouten
9078129693eSEd Schouten		source src {
9088129693eSEd Schouten			unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol));
9098129693eSEd Schouten		}
9108129693eSEd Schouten
9118129693eSEd Schouten	When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option
9128129693eSEd Schouten	of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the
9138129693eSEd Schouten	regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline:
9148129693eSEd Schouten
9158129693eSEd Schouten		module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off")
9168129693eSEd Schouten
9178129693eSEd Schouten	Do note that these changes only affect communication between local
9188129693eSEd Schouten	applications and syslogd(8). The format that syslogd(8) uses to
9198129693eSEd Schouten	store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems
9208129693eSEd Schouten	remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these
9218129693eSEd Schouten	purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the
9228129693eSEd Schouten	future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are
9238129693eSEd Schouten	thus expected to continue to function as before.
9248129693eSEd Schouten
9258129693eSEd Schouten	__FreeBSD_version has been incremented to 1200061 to denote this
9268129693eSEd Schouten	change.

93672bf324cSBenno Rice	The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for
93772bf324cSBenno Rice	release was updated to use this. This may mean that makefs must be
93872bf324cSBenno Rice	updated before "make cdrom" can be run in the release directory. This
93972bf324cSBenno Rice	should be as simple as:

1097992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	Behavioral changes:
1098992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	- The "beforecheck" and "aftercheck" targets are now specified.
1099992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	- ${CHECKDIR} (added in commit noted above) has been removed.
1100992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	- Legacy behavior can be enabled by setting
1101992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	  WITHOUT_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX in src.conf(5) or the environment.
1102992f1a8eSEnji Cooper
1103992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	If the limited sandbox mode is enabled, "make check" will execute
1104992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	"make distribution", then install, execute the tests, and clean up the
1105992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	sandbox if successful.
1106992f1a8eSEnji Cooper
1107992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	The "make distribution" and "make install" targets are typically run as
1108992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	root to set appropriate permissions and ownership at installation time.
1109992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	The end-user should set "WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER" in src.conf(5) or the
1110992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	environment if executing "make check" with limited sandbox mode using
1111992f1a8eSEnji Cooper	an unprivileged user.

11132f401b0aSKirk McKusick20170808:
11142f401b0aSKirk McKusick	Since the switch to GPT disk labels, fsck for UFS/FFS has been
11152f401b0aSKirk McKusick	unable to automatically find alternate superblocks. As of r322297,
11162f401b0aSKirk McKusick	the information needed to find alternate superblocks has been
11172f401b0aSKirk McKusick	moved to the end of the area reserved for the boot block.
11182f401b0aSKirk McKusick	Filesystems created with a newfs of this vintage or later
11192f401b0aSKirk McKusick	will create the recovery information. If you have a filesystem
11202f401b0aSKirk McKusick	created prior to this change and wish to have a recovery block
11212f401b0aSKirk McKusick	created for your filesystem, you can do so by running fsck in
112244c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	foreground mode (i.e., do not use the -p or -y options). As it
11232f401b0aSKirk McKusick	starts, fsck will ask ``SAVE DATA TO FIND ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS''
11242f401b0aSKirk McKusick	to which you should answer yes.
11252f401b0aSKirk McKusick
1126d10cef38SRick Macklem20170728:
1127d10cef38SRick Macklem	As of r321665, an NFSv4 server configuration that services
1128d10cef38SRick Macklem	Kerberos mounts or clients that do not support the uid/gid in
1129d10cef38SRick Macklem	owner/owner_group string capability, must explicitly enable
1130d10cef38SRick Macklem	the nfsuserd daemon by adding nfsuserd_enable="YES" to the
1131d10cef38SRick Macklem	machine's /etc/rc.conf file.

1138cf3de641SJeremie Le Hen20170701:
1139662e9863SEd Maste	WITHOUT_RCMDS is now the default. Set WITH_RCMDS if you need the
1140662e9863SEd Maste	r-commands (rlogin, rsh, etc.) to be built with the base system.
1141cf3de641SJeremie Le Hen
1142fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits20170625:
1143fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	The FreeBSD/powerpc platform now uses a 64-bit type for time_t.  This is
1144fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must
1145fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	be careful when performing source upgrades.  It is best to run
1146fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live
1147fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition.  Additionally, all ports
1148fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	must be recompiled.  powerpc64 is largely unaffected, except in the case
1149fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	of 32-bit compatibility.  All 32-bit binaries will be affected.
1150fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits
11519dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170623:
11525ab191c4SWarner Losh	Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This
11535ab191c4SWarner Losh	will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
11545ab191c4SWarner Losh	fashion.  This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
11555ab191c4SWarner Losh	upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
11565ab191c4SWarner Losh	the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
1157a28412b0SEd Maste	enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations.
11589dd39fd6SWarner Losh
11599dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170620:
11609dd39fd6SWarner Losh	Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler). Set WITH_GPL_DTC
11619dd39fd6SWarner Losh	if you require the GPL compiler.
11625ab191c4SWarner Losh
116333ecebd1SRick Macklem20170618:
116433ecebd1SRick Macklem	The internal ABI used for communication between the NFS kernel modules
116533ecebd1SRick Macklem	was changed by r320085, so __FreeBSD_version was bumped to
116633ecebd1SRick Macklem	ensure all the NFS related modules are updated together.
116733ecebd1SRick Macklem
11689a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov20170617:
11699a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	The ABI of struct event was changed by extending the data
11709a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	member to 64bit and adding ext fields.  For upgrade, same
11719a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be
11729a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	followed.
11739a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov
1174472c2b48SEd Maste20170531:
1175472c2b48SEd Maste	The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base. To render manpages
1176472c2b48SEd Maste	which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff
1177472c2b48SEd Maste	from ports (and recommends to install it).
1178472c2b48SEd Maste	To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the
1179472c2b48SEd Maste	heirloom doctools roff toolchain from ports via pkg install groff or
1180472c2b48SEd Maste	via pkg install heirloom-doctools.
1181472c2b48SEd Maste
11829949595eSAdrian Chadd20170524:
11839949595eSAdrian Chadd	The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
11849949595eSAdrian Chadd	smaller runtime footprint builds.  This is useful for embedded systems
11859949595eSAdrian Chadd	which only require one chipset support.
11869949595eSAdrian Chadd
11879949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
11889949595eSAdrian Chadd
11899949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath_load="YES"
11909949595eSAdrian Chadd
11919949595eSAdrian Chadd	This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
11929949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
11939949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
11949949595eSAdrian Chadd
11959949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
11969949595eSAdrian Chadd	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
11979949595eSAdrian Chadd
11989949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_hal
11999949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load the chip modules in question
12009949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
12019949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_main
12029949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
12039949595eSAdrian Chadd	  bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.

1207b149eba4SEd Maste20170523:
1208b149eba4SEd Maste	The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
1209dcfffd04SEd Maste	a number of types to 64 bits.  Upgrading in place requires care and
1210dcfffd04SEd Maste	adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
1211dcfffd04SEd Maste
1212dcfffd04SEd Maste	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
1213dcfffd04SEd Maste	COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
1214dcfffd04SEd Maste	system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
1215dcfffd04SEd Maste
1216dcfffd04SEd Maste	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
1217359d22d4SWarner Losh	artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*".  Then, carefully follow the full
1218359d22d4SWarner Losh	procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild everything and
1219359d22d4SWarner Losh	install it on the current system."  Specifically, a reboot is required
1220359d22d4SWarner Losh	after installing the new kernel before installing world. While an
1221359d22d4SWarner Losh	installworld normally works by accident from multiuser after rebooting
1222359d22d4SWarner Losh	the proper kernel, there are many cases where this will fail across this
1223359d22d4SWarner Losh	upgrade and installworld from single user is required.

1226a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	The NATM framework including the en(4), fatm(4), hatm(4), and
1227a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	patm(4) devices has been removed.  Consumers should plan a

1230a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin20170420:
1231a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff has been replaced by a BSD licensed diff. Some features of GNU
1232a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	diff has not been implemented, if those are needed a newer version of
1233a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff is available via the diffutils package under the gdiff name.

12355810e45bSCy Schubert20170413:
12365810e45bSCy Schubert	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
12375810e45bSCy Schubert	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
12385810e45bSCy Schubert	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
1239a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
12405810e45bSCy Schubert	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
12415810e45bSCy Schubert	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
12420cad3ecaSCy Schubert	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
12435810e45bSCy Schubert
12441bf5e133SEd Maste20170407:
12451bf5e133SEd Maste	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
12461bf5e133SEd Maste	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be
12471bf5e133SEd Maste	installed. To continue using aarch64-binutils, set

12630458b265SEnji Cooper
12640458b265SEnji Cooper	If building cfiscsi.ko as a kernel module, the module can be loaded
12650458b265SEnji Cooper	via one of the following methods:
12660458b265SEnji Cooper	- `cfiscsi_load="YES"` in loader.conf(5).
12670458b265SEnji Cooper	- Add `cfiscsi` to `$kld_list` in rc.conf(5).
12680458b265SEnji Cooper	- ctladm(8)/ctld(8), when compiled with iSCSI support

127372dec079SMarius Strobl20170316:
127472dec079SMarius Strobl	The mmcsd.ko module now additionally depends on geom_flashmap.ko.
127572dec079SMarius Strobl	Also, mmc.ko and mmcsd.ko need to be a matching pair built from the
127672dec079SMarius Strobl	same source (previously, the dependency of mmcsd.ko on mmc.ko was
127772dec079SMarius Strobl	missing, but mmcsd.ko now will refuse to load if it is incompatible
127872dec079SMarius Strobl	with mmc.ko).

12806ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov20170315:
12816ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	The syntax of ipfw(8) named states was changed to avoid ambiguity.
12826ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	If you have used named states in the firewall rules, you need to modify
12836ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	them after installworld and before rebooting. Now named states must

1366bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar20160924:
1367bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
1368bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
1369bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file
1370bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	systems.  On those file systems, foo.So is the same file as foo.so.

13881c828193SNavdeep Parhar20160824:
13891c828193SNavdeep Parhar	r304787 changed some ioctl interfaces between the iSCSI userspace
13901c828193SNavdeep Parhar	programs and the kernel.  ctladm, ctld, iscsictl, and iscsid must be
13911c828193SNavdeep Parhar	rebuilt to work with new kernels.  __FreeBSD_version has been bumped

13943e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil20160818:
139541029db1SRyan Stone	The UDP receive code has been updated to only treat incoming UDP
139641029db1SRyan Stone	packets that were addressed to an L2 broadcast address as L3
139741029db1SRyan Stone	broadcast packets.  It is not expected that this will affect any
139841029db1SRyan Stone	standards-conforming UDP application.  The new behaviour can be
139941029db1SRyan Stone	disabled by setting the sysctl net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast to
140041029db1SRyan Stone	0.
140141029db1SRyan Stone
140241029db1SRyan Stone20160818:
14033e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil	Remove the openbsd_poll system call.

1409ddc2f805SBrooks Davis20160622:
1410678243ffSBrooks Davis	The libc stub for the pipe(2) system call has been replaced with
1411f0db8553SBrooks Davis	a wrapper that calls the pipe2(2) system call and the pipe(2)
1412f0db8553SBrooks Davis	system call is now only implemented by the kernels that include
1413f0db8553SBrooks Davis	"options COMPAT_FREEBSD10" in their config file (this is the
1414f0db8553SBrooks Davis	default).  Users should ensure that this option is enabled in
1415f0db8553SBrooks Davis	their kernel or upgrade userspace to r302092 before upgrading their
1416f0db8553SBrooks Davis	kernel.

1418583febf4SAlan Somers20160527:
1419583febf4SAlan Somers	CAM will now strip leading spaces from SCSI disks' serial numbers.
1420fb9b2ab1SBryan Drewery	This will affect users who create UFS filesystems on SCSI disks using
1421583febf4SAlan Somers	those disk's diskid device nodes.  For example, if /etc/fstab
1422583febf4SAlan Somers	previously contained a line like
1423583febf4SAlan Somers	"/dev/diskid/DISK-%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ABCDEFG0123456", you should
1424583febf4SAlan Somers	change it to "/dev/diskid/DISK-ABCDEFG0123456".  Users of geom
1425ab5d7fb1SAlan Somers	transforms like gmirror may also be affected.  ZFS users should
1426583febf4SAlan Somers	generally be fine.
1427583febf4SAlan Somers
14281b82e02fSAlan Somers20160523:
14291b82e02fSAlan Somers	The bitstring(3) API has been updated with new functionality and
14301b82e02fSAlan Somers	improved performance.  But it is binary-incompatible with the old API.
14311b82e02fSAlan Somers	Objects built with the new headers may not be linked against objects
14321b82e02fSAlan Somers	built with the old headers.

143494098ab7SAndrew Turner20160520:
143594098ab7SAndrew Turner	The brk and sbrk functions have been removed from libc on arm64.
143694098ab7SAndrew Turner	Binutils from ports has been updated to not link to these
143794098ab7SAndrew Turner	functions and should be updated to the latest version before
143894098ab7SAndrew Turner	installing a new libc.

14402c0e9e2aSWarner Losh20160517:
14412c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	The armv6 port now defaults to hard float ABI. Limited support
14422c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	for running both hardfloat and soft float on the same system
14432c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	is available using the libraries installed with -DWITH_LIBSOFT.
14442c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	This has only been tested as an upgrade path for installworld
14452c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	and packages may fail or need manual intervention to run. New
14462c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	packages will be needed.

14525f0263c1SJohn Baldwin20160510:
14535f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	Kernel modules compiled outside of a kernel build now default to
14545f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	installing to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.  Many kernel
14555f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	modules built this way (such as those in ports) already overrode
14565f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	KMODDIR explicitly to install into /boot/modules.  However,
14575f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	manually building and installing a module from /sys/modules will
14585f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	now install to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.

146013694b35SWarner Losh20160414:
1461a1743365SWarner Losh	The CAM I/O scheduler has been committed to the kernel. There should be
1462a1743365SWarner Losh	no user visible impact. This does enable NCQ Trim on ada SSDs. While the
1463a1743365SWarner Losh	list of known rogues that claim support for this but actually corrupt
1464a1743365SWarner Losh	data is believed to be complete, be on the lookout for data
1465a1743365SWarner Losh	corruption. The known rogue list is believed to be complete:
1466a1743365SWarner Losh
1467a1743365SWarner Losh		o Crucial MX100, M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
1468a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M510 and M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
1469a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M500 prior to MU07 firmware
1470a1743365SWarner Losh		o Samsung 830, 840, and 850 all firmwares
1471a1743365SWarner Losh		o FCCT M500 all firmwares
1472a1743365SWarner Losh
1473a1743365SWarner Losh	Crucial has firmware http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware
1474a1743365SWarner Losh	with working NCQ TRIM. For Micron branded drives, see your sales rep for
1475a1743365SWarner Losh	updated firmware. Black listed drives will work correctly because these
1476a1743365SWarner Losh	drives work correctly so long as no NCQ TRIMs are sent to them. Given
1477a1743365SWarner Losh	this list is the same as found in Linux, it's believed there are no
1478a1743365SWarner Losh	other rogues in the market place. All other models from the above
1479a1743365SWarner Losh	vendors work.
1480a1743365SWarner Losh
1481a1743365SWarner Losh	To be safe, if you are at all concerned, you can quirk each of your
1482a1743365SWarner Losh	drives to prevent NCQ from being sent by setting:
1483a1743365SWarner Losh		kern.cam.ada.X.quirks="0x2"
1484a1743365SWarner Losh	in loader.conf. If the drive requires the 4k sector quirk, set the
1485a1743365SWarner Losh	quirks entry to 0x3.

1487497e8091SBryan Drewery20160330:
1488497e8091SBryan Drewery	The FAST_DEPEND build option has been removed and its functionality is
1489497e8091SBryan Drewery	now the one true way.  The old mkdep(1) style of 'make depend' has
1490497e8091SBryan Drewery	been removed.  See 20160311 for further details.
1491497e8091SBryan Drewery
1492da1b038aSJustin Hibbits20160317:
1493da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	Resource range types have grown from unsigned long to uintmax_t.  All
1494da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	drivers, and anything using libdevinfo, need to be recompiled.
1495da1b038aSJustin Hibbits
1496d783b170SBryan Drewery20160311:
1497d783b170SBryan Drewery	WITH_FAST_DEPEND is now enabled by default for in-tree and out-of-tree
1498d783b170SBryan Drewery	builds.  It no longer runs mkdep(1) during 'make depend', and the
1499d783b170SBryan Drewery	'make depend' stage can safely be skipped now as it is auto ran
1500d783b170SBryan Drewery	when building 'make all' and will generate all SRCS and DPSRCS before
1501d783b170SBryan Drewery	building anything else.  Dependencies are gathered at compile time with
1502d783b170SBryan Drewery	-MF flags kept in separate .depend files per object file.  Users should
1503d783b170SBryan Drewery	run 'make cleandepend' once if using -DNO_CLEAN to clean out older
1504d783b170SBryan Drewery	stale .depend files.

1506c834228bSDimitry Andric20160306:
1507c834228bSDimitry Andric	On amd64, clang 3.8.0 can now insert sections of type AMD64_UNWIND into
1508c834228bSDimitry Andric	kernel modules.  Therefore, if you load any kernel modules at boot time,
1509c834228bSDimitry Andric	please install the boot loaders after you install the kernel, but before
1510c834228bSDimitry Andric	rebooting, e.g.:
1511c834228bSDimitry Andric
1512c834228bSDimitry Andric	make buildworld
1513779f392bSJohn Baldwin	make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

1517c834228bSDimitry Andric
1518c834228bSDimitry Andric	Then follow the usual steps, described in the General Notes section,
1519c834228bSDimitry Andric	below.
1520c834228bSDimitry Andric
1521e74e149fSDimitry Andric20160305:
1522e74e149fSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb and compiler-rt have been upgraded to 3.8.0.  Please
1523e74e149fSDimitry Andric	see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and
1524e74e149fSDimitry Andric	upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.

15268b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin20160301:
15278b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	The AIO subsystem is now a standard part of the kernel.  The
15288b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	VFS_AIO kernel option and aio.ko kernel module have been removed.
15298b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	Due to stability concerns, asynchronous I/O requests are only
15308b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	permitted on sockets and raw disks by default.  To enable
15318b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	asynchronous I/O requests on all file types, set the
15328b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl to a non-zero value.
15338b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin
1534de463b29SEd Maste20160226:
1535ca8b902aSEd Maste	The ELF object manipulation tool objcopy is now provided by the
1536ca8b902aSEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain project rather than by GNU binutils. It should be a
1537ca8b902aSEd Maste	drop-in replacement, with the addition of arm64 support. The
1538ca8b902aSEd Maste	(temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set
1539ca8b902aSEd Maste	to obtain the GNU version if necessary.
1540ca8b902aSEd Maste
1541d4b9233aSAlan Somers20160129:
1542d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Building ZFS pools on top of zvols is prohibited by default.  That
1543d4b9233aSAlan Somers	feature has never worked safely; it's always been prone to deadlocks.
1544d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Using a zvol as the backing store for a VM guest's virtual disk will
1545d4b9233aSAlan Somers	still work, even if the guest is using ZFS.  Legacy behavior can be
1546d4b9233aSAlan Somers	restored by setting vfs.zfs.vol.recursive=1.
1547d4b9233aSAlan Somers
154860c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav20160119:
154960c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	The NONE and HPN patches has been removed from OpenSSH.  They are
155060c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	still available in the security/openssh-portable port.

15523bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo20160113:
15533bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	With the addition of ypldap(8), a new _ypldap user is now required
15543bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add the user
15553bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
15563bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo
15574d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin20151216:
15584d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	The tftp loader (pxeboot) now uses the option root-path directive. As a
15594d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	consequence it no longer looks for a pxeboot.4th file on the tftp
15604d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	server. Instead it uses the regular /boot infrastructure as with the
15614d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	other loaders.
15624d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin
1563ca7e5285SWarner Losh20151211:
1564ca7e5285SWarner Losh	The code to start recording plug and play data into the modules has
1565ca7e5285SWarner Losh	been committed. While the old tools will properly build a new kernel,
1566ca7e5285SWarner Losh	a number of warnings about "unknown metadata record 4" will be produced
1567ca7e5285SWarner Losh	for an older kldxref. To avoid such warnings, make sure to rebuild
1568ca7e5285SWarner Losh	the kernel toolchain (or world). Make sure that you have r292078 or
1569ca7e5285SWarner Losh	later when trying to build 292077 or later before rebuilding.
1570ca7e5285SWarner Losh
1571015dfda6SEd Maste20151207:
1572015dfda6SEd Maste	Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
1573015dfda6SEd Maste	installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
1574015dfda6SEd Maste	requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
1575015dfda6SEd Maste	world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
1576015dfda6SEd Maste	in src.conf(5).
1577015dfda6SEd Maste
157833ba1088SRick Macklem20151130:
157933ba1088SRick Macklem	r291527 changed the internal interface between the nfsd.ko and
158033ba1088SRick Macklem	nfscommon.ko modules. As such, they must both be upgraded to-gether.
158133ba1088SRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
158233ba1088SRick Macklem
1583af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin20151108:
1584af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	Add support for unicode collation strings leads to a change of
1585af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	order of files listed by ls(1) for example. To get back to the old
1586af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	behaviour, set LC_COLLATE environment variable to "C".

1600ebda5173SAlexander Motin20151020:
1601ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Qlogic 24xx/25xx firmware images were updated from 5.5.0 to 7.3.0.
1602ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Kernel modules isp_2400_multi and isp_2500_multi were removed and
1603ebda5173SAlexander Motin	should be replaced with isp_2400 and isp_2500 modules respectively.
1604ebda5173SAlexander Motin
160556585ab5SBryan Drewery20151017:
160656585ab5SBryan Drewery	The build previously allowed using 'make -n' to not recurse into
160756585ab5SBryan Drewery	sub-directories while showing what commands would be executed, and
160856585ab5SBryan Drewery	'make -n -n' to recursively show commands.  Now 'make -n' will recurse
160956585ab5SBryan Drewery	and 'make -N' will not.
161056585ab5SBryan Drewery
1611ff446b05SPeter Wemm20151012:
1612ff446b05SPeter Wemm	If you specify SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF in make.conf, mergemaster
1613ff446b05SPeter Wemm	and etcupdate will now use this file. A custom sendmail.cf is now
1614ff446b05SPeter Wemm	updated via this mechanism rather than via installworld.  If you had
1615ff446b05SPeter Wemm	excluded sendmail.cf in mergemaster.rc or etcupdate.conf, you may
1616ff446b05SPeter Wemm	want to remove the exclusion or change it to "always install".
1617ff446b05SPeter Wemm	/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is now managed the same way regardless of
1618ff446b05SPeter Wemm	whether SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF is used.  If you are not using
1619ff446b05SPeter Wemm	SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF there should be no change in behavior.

163305117b57SEd Maste	Kernel debug files have been moved to /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/,
163405117b57SEd Maste	and renamed from .symbols to .debug. This reduces the size requirements
163505117b57SEd Maste	on the boot partition or file system and provides consistency with
163605117b57SEd Maste	userland debug files.
163705117b57SEd Maste
163805117b57SEd Maste	When using the supported kernel installation method the
163905117b57SEd Maste	/usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel directory will be renamed (to kernel.old)
164005117b57SEd Maste	as is done with /boot/kernel.
164105117b57SEd Maste
164205117b57SEd Maste	Developers wishing to maintain the historical behavior of installing

16468ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	The wireless drivers had undergone changes that remove the 'parent
16478ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	interface' from the ifconfig -l output. The rc.d network scripts
16488ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	used to check presence of a parent interface in the list, so old
16498ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	scripts would fail to start wireless networking. Thus, etcupdate(3)
16508ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	or mergemaster(8) run is required after kernel update, to update your
16518ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	rc.d scripts in /etc.

1658646041a8SMark Murray20150817:
1659646041a8SMark Murray	Kernel-loadable modules for the random(4) device are back. To use
1660646041a8SMark Murray	them, the kernel must have
1661646041a8SMark Murray

1663646041a8SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_LOADABLE

1665646041a8SMark Murray	kldload(8) can then be used to load random_fortuna.ko
1666646041a8SMark Murray	or random_yarrow.ko. Please note that due to the indirect
1667646041a8SMark Murray	function calls that the loadable modules need to provide,
1668646041a8SMark Murray	the build-in variants will be slightly more efficient.
1669646041a8SMark Murray
1670646041a8SMark Murray	The random(4) kernel option RANDOM_DUMMY has been retired due to

1678e7dbaf58SIan Lepore20150810:
1679e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	The polarity of Pulse Per Second (PPS) capture events with the
1680e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	uart(4) driver has been corrected.  Prior to this change the PPS
1681e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	"assert" event corresponded to the trailing edge of a positive PPS
1682e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	pulse and the "clear" event was the leading edge of the next pulse.
1683e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1684e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	As the width of a PPS pulse in a typical GPS receiver is on the
1685e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	order of 1 millisecond, most users will not notice any significant
1686e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	difference with this change.
1687e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
1688e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	Anyone who has compensated for the historical polarity reversal by
1689e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	configuring a negative offset equal to the pulse width will need to
1690e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	remove that workaround.

17101635369eSSteven Hartland20150728:
171168d5f492SSteven Hartland	As ZFS requires more kernel stack pages than is the default on some
17121635369eSSteven Hartland	architectures e.g. i386, it now warns if KSTACK_PAGES is less than

17141635369eSSteven Hartland
17151635369eSSteven Hartland	Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=X' where X is greater
17161635369eSSteven Hartland	than or equal to ZFS_MIN_KSTACK_PAGES i.e. 4 in such configurations.

1718ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro20150706:
1719ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail has been updated to 8.15.2.  Starting with FreeBSD 11.0
1720ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	and sendmail 8.15, sendmail uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by
1721ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	default, i.e., they will not contain "::".  For example, instead
1722ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	of ::1, it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1.  This permits a zero subnet
1723ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	to have a more specific match, such as different map entries for
1724ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0.  This change requires that configuration
1725ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	data (including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset, etc.) must
1726ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	use the same format, so make certain such configuration data is
1727ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	upgrading.  As a very simple check search for patterns like
1728ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'.  To return to the old
1729ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	behavior, set the m4 option confUSE_COMPRESSED_IPV6_ADDRESSES or
1730ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	the cf option UseCompressedIPv6Addresses.

1732d1b06863SMark Murray20150630:
1733d1b06863SMark Murray	The default kernel entropy-processing algorithm is now
1734d1b06863SMark Murray	Fortuna, replacing Yarrow.
17356f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1736d1b06863SMark Murray	Assuming you have 'device random' in your kernel config
1737d1b06863SMark Murray	file, the configurations allow a kernel option to override
1738d1b06863SMark Murray	this default. You may choose *ONE* of:
17396f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1740d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_YARROW	# Legacy /dev/random algorithm.
1741d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_DUMMY	# Blocking-only driver.
17426f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1743d1b06863SMark Murray	If you have neither, you get Fortuna.  For most people,
1744d1b06863SMark Murray	read no further, Fortuna will give a /dev/random that works
1745d1b06863SMark Murray	like it always used to, and the difference will be irrelevant.
17466f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
1747d1b06863SMark Murray	If you remove 'device random', you get *NO* kernel-processed
174802dcb6e0SEitan Adler	entropy at all. This may be acceptable to folks building
1749d1b06863SMark Murray	embedded systems, but has complications. Carry on reading,
1750d1b06863SMark Murray	and it is assumed you know what you need.
1751d1b06863SMark Murray
1752d1b06863SMark Murray	*PLEASE* read random(4) and random(9) if you are in the
175302dcb6e0SEitan Adler	habit of tweaking kernel configs, and/or if you are a member
1754d1b06863SMark Murray	of the embedded community, wanting specific and not-usual
1755d1b06863SMark Murray	behaviour from your security subsystems.
1756d1b06863SMark Murray
1757d1b06863SMark Murray	NOTE!! If you use RANDOM_DUMMY and/or have no 'device
1758d1b06863SMark Murray	random', you will NOT have a functioning /dev/random, and
1759d1b06863SMark Murray	many cryptographic features will not work, including SSH.
1760d1b06863SMark Murray	You may also find strange behaviour from the random(3) set
1761d1b06863SMark Murray	of library functions, in particular sranddev(3), srandomdev(3)
1762d1b06863SMark Murray	and arc4random(3). The reason for this is that the KERN_ARND
1763d1b06863SMark Murray	sysctl only returns entropy if it thinks it has some to
1764d1b06863SMark Murray	share, and with RANDOM_DUMMY or no 'device random' this
1765d1b06863SMark Murray	will never happen.

178922596424SGregory Neil Shapiro	The import of openssl to address the FreeBSD-SA-15:10.openssl

1915143c11b4SDimitry Andric20141231:
1916143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm and lldb have been upgraded to 3.5.0 release.
1917143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19180ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	As of this release, a prerequisite for building clang, llvm and lldb is
19190ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	a C++11 capable compiler and C++11 standard library.  This means that to
1920143c11b4SDimitry Andric	be able to successfully build the cross-tools stage of buildworld, with
1921143c11b4SDimitry Andric	clang as the bootstrap compiler, your system compiler or cross compiler
1922143c11b4SDimitry Andric	should either be clang 3.3 or later, or gcc 4.8 or later, and your
1923143c11b4SDimitry Andric	system C++ library should be libc++, or libdstdc++ from gcc 4.8 or
1924143c11b4SDimitry Andric	later.
1925143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19260ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	On any standard FreeBSD 10.x or 11.x installation, where clang and
19270ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	libc++ are on by default (that is, on x86 or arm), this should work out
19280ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	of the box.
1929143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1930143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 9.x installations where clang is enabled by default, e.g. on x86 and
1931143c11b4SDimitry Andric	powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be
1932143c11b4SDimitry Andric	built (with clang) and installed first.  If both clang and libc++ are
1933143c11b4SDimitry Andric	missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++.
1934143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1935143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow
1936143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the instructions for 9.x above.
1937143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19380ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by
19390ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	default, and do not build clang.
19400ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
19410ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to
19420ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all.  In those
19430ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround.
19440ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
1945143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which
1946143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the following are most likely to appear:
1947143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1948143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wabsolute-value
1949143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1950143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This warns in two cases, for both C and C++:
1951143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned
1952143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was
1953143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  intended.  The code should be fixed, if at all possible.  If you are
1954143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without
1955143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit
1956143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  cast, or disable the warning.
1957143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1958143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called
1959143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation.
1960143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please
1961143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted
1962143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  side-effects.
1963143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1964143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wtautological-undefined-compare and
1965143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wundefined-bool-conversion
1966143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1967143c11b4SDimitry Andric	These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while
1968143c11b4SDimitry Andric	'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code.  However, there is
1969143c11b4SDimitry Andric	some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this
1970143c11b4SDimitry Andric	feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions.
1971143c11b4SDimitry Andric
1972143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Squid and openjdk do this, for example.  The warning can be turned off
1973143c11b4SDimitry Andric	for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result
1974143c11b4SDimitry Andric	in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are
1975143c11b4SDimitry Andric	unreachable could be optimized away.
1976143c11b4SDimitry Andric
19770b327b63SRick Macklem20141222:
19780b327b63SRick Macklem	The old NFS client and server (kernel options NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER)
19790b327b63SRick Macklem	kernel sources have been removed. The .h files remain, since some
19800b327b63SRick Macklem	utilities include them. This will need to be fixed later.
19810b327b63SRick Macklem	If "mount -t oldnfs ..." is attempted, it will fail.
19820b327b63SRick Macklem	If the "-o" option on mountd(8), nfsd(8) or nfsstat(1) is used,
19830b327b63SRick Macklem	the utilities will report errors.
19840b327b63SRick Macklem
19855f25ee9cSBrooks Davis20141121:
19865f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	The handling of LOCAL_LIB_DIRS has been altered to skip addition of
19875f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	directories to top level SUBDIR variable when their parent
19885f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	directory is included in LOCAL_DIRS.  Users with build systems with
19895f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	such hierarchies and without SUBDIR entries in the parent
19905f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	directory Makefiles should add them or add the directories to
19915f25ee9cSBrooks Davis	LOCAL_DIRS.

19972d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron20141104:
19982d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	vt(4), the new console driver, is enabled by default. It brings
19992d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	support for Unicode and double-width characters, as well as
20002d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	support for UEFI and integration with the KMS kernel video
20012d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	drivers.
20022d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
20032d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf,
20042d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	most probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will
20052d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	indicate what you need to do.
20062d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
20072d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to
20082d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	syscons(4). See the wiki for up-to-date information:
20092d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	  https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
20102d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
20112d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding
20122d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	the following line to /boot/loader.conf:

2020ddd96d23SEd Maste20141009:
2021ddd96d23SEd Maste	gperf has been removed from the base system for architectures
2022ddd96d23SEd Maste	that use clang. Ports that require gperf will obtain it from the

2030243d6a50SSean Bruno	At svn r271982, The default linux compat kernel ABI has been adjusted
2031243d6a50SSean Bruno	to 2.6.18 in support of the linux-c6 compat ports infrastructure
2032243d6a50SSean Bruno	update.  If you wish to continue using the linux-f10 compat ports,
2033243d6a50SSean Bruno	add compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 to your local sysctl.conf.  Users are
2034243d6a50SSean Bruno	encouraged to update their linux-compat packages to linux-c6 during
2035243d6a50SSean Bruno	their next update cycle.
2036243d6a50SSean Bruno
2037232490c6SNathan Whitehorn20140729:
2038232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	The ofwfb driver, used to provide a graphics console on PowerPC when
203974342541SChristian Brueffer	using vt(4), no longer allows mmap() of all physical memory. This
2040232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	will prevent Xorg on PowerPC with some ATI graphics cards from
2041232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	initializing properly unless x11-servers/xorg-server is updated to
2042232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	1.12.4_8 or newer.
2043232490c6SNathan Whitehorn
20440aafd404SWarner Losh20140723:
20450aafd404SWarner Losh	The xdev targets have been converted to using TARGET and

20470aafd404SWarner Losh
20480d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav20140719:
20490d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	The default unbound configuration has been modified to address
20500d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	issues with reverse lookups on networks that use private
20510d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	address ranges.  If you use the local_unbound service, run
20520d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	"service local_unbound setup" as root to regenerate your
20530d0485e2SDag-Erling Smørgrav	configuration, then "service local_unbound reload" to load the

2056f4717209SBaptiste Daroussin20140709:
2057f4717209SBaptiste Daroussin	The GNU texinfo and GNU info pages are not built and installed
2058f4717209SBaptiste Daroussin	anymore, WITH_INFO knob has been added to allow to built and install

20628a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin20140708:
20638a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin	The GNU readline library is now an INTERNALLIB - that is, it is
20648a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin	statically linked into consumers (GDB and variants) in the base
20658a833bdaSBaptiste Daroussin	system, and the shared library is no longer installed.  The

207418aa7fccSRick Macklem20140701:
207518aa7fccSRick Macklem	Commit r268115 has added NFSv4.1 server support, merged from
207618aa7fccSRick Macklem	projects/nfsv4.1-server.  Since this includes changes to the
207718aa7fccSRick Macklem	internal interfaces between the NFS related modules, a full
207818aa7fccSRick Macklem	build of the kernel and modules will be necessary.
207918aa7fccSRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped.
208018aa7fccSRick Macklem
2081824a9093SEd Maste20140629:
2082824a9093SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_VT_SUPPORT kernel config knob has been renamed
2083824a9093SEd Maste	WITHOUT_VT.  (The other _SUPPORT knobs have a consistent meaning
2084824a9093SEd Maste	which differs from the behaviour controlled by this knob.)
2085824a9093SEd Maste
208638b72f8cSAlexander Motin20140619:
208738b72f8cSAlexander Motin	Maximal length of the serial number in CTL was increased from 16 to
208838b72f8cSAlexander Motin	64 chars, that breaks ABI.  All CTL-related tools, such as ctladm
208938b72f8cSAlexander Motin	and ctld, need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
209038b72f8cSAlexander Motin
2091727a7ce8SJulio Merino20140606:
2092727a7ce8SJulio Merino	The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and
2093727a7ce8SJulio Merino	1 respectively to match the upstream numbers.  They were out of
2094727a7ce8SJulio Merino	sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the
2095727a7ce8SJulio Merino	upstream versions were not respected.  These libraries are private
2096727a7ce8SJulio Merino	and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a
2097727a7ce8SJulio Merino	non-issue.  However, unclean source trees will yield broken test
2098727a7ce8SJulio Merino	programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a
2099727a7ce8SJulio Merino	"make installworld".
2100727a7ce8SJulio Merino
21018c7ec47aSJulio Merino	Additionally, the atf-sh binary was made private by moving it into
21028c7ec47aSJulio Merino	/usr/libexec/.  Already-built shell test programs will keep the
21038c7ec47aSJulio Merino	path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old"
21048c7ec47aSJulio Merino	is run.
21058c7ec47aSJulio Merino
2106727a7ce8SJulio Merino	If you are using WITH_TESTS=yes (not the default), wipe the object
2107727a7ce8SJulio Merino	tree and rebuild from scratch to prevent spurious test failures.
21088c7ec47aSJulio Merino	This is only needed once: the misnumbered libraries and misplaced
21098c7ec47aSJulio Merino	binaries have been added to OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc so they will
21108c7ec47aSJulio Merino	be removed during a clean upgrade.
2111727a7ce8SJulio Merino
211285d60e68SDimitry Andric20140512:
211385d60e68SDimitry Andric	Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4.1 release.
211485d60e68SDimitry Andric
2115fa114234SWarner Losh20140508:
2116fa114234SWarner Losh	We bogusly installed src.opts.mk in /usr/share/mk. This file should
2117fa114234SWarner Losh	be removed to avoid issues in the future (and has been added to
2118fa114234SWarner Losh	ObsoleteFiles.inc).
2119fa114234SWarner Losh
2120a46954e2SWarner Losh20140505:
2121a46954e2SWarner Losh	/etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the
2122a46954e2SWarner Losh	past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old
2123a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this
2124a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf
2125a46954e2SWarner Losh	(which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the
2126a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual
212759a24370SWarner Losh	directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that.
2128a46954e2SWarner Losh	Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios,
212955b76981SWarner Losh	other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of
213055b76981SWarner Losh	temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld
213159a24370SWarner Losh	as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this
213259a24370SWarner Losh	setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree.
2133a46954e2SWarner Losh
2134bd871f14SWarner Losh	One side effect of all this cleaning up is that bsd.compiler.mk
2135bd871f14SWarner Losh	is no longer implicitly included by bsd.own.mk. If you wish to
2136bd871f14SWarner Losh	use COMPILER_TYPE, you must now explicitly include bsd.compiler.mk
2137bd871f14SWarner Losh	as well.

2143e9aba509SEnji Cooper20140424:
2144e9aba509SEnji Cooper	The knob WITHOUT_VI was added to the base system, which controls
2145e9aba509SEnji Cooper	building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1)
2146e9aba509SEnji Cooper	in order to reorder files share/termcap and didn't build ex(1) as a
2147e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build tool, so building/installing with WITH_VI is highly advised for
2148e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build hosts for older releases.
2149e9aba509SEnji Cooper
2150e9aba509SEnji Cooper	This issue has been fixed in stable/9 and stable/10 in r277022 and
2151e9aba509SEnji Cooper	r276991, respectively.

21532bb08298SWarner Losh20140418:
21542bb08298SWarner Losh	The YES_HESIOD knob has been removed. It has been obsolete for
21552bb08298SWarner Losh	a decade. Please move to using WITH_HESIOD instead or your builds
21562bb08298SWarner Losh	will silently lack HESIOD.

21584c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar20140405:
21594c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
21604c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	of the low-level console. Previously the uart(4) driver prevented
21614c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL
21624c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make
21634c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	changes to the serial console port without having to reboot.
21644c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is
21654c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal
21664c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact.
21674c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the
21684c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to
2169086036aaSMarcel Moolenaar	preserve the previous behaviour. E.g:

21929f23d19aSDimitry Andric	An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
21939f23d19aSDimitry Andric	This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built
21949f23d19aSDimitry Andric	against the previous version of libc++ to crash.  The incompatibility
21959f23d19aSDimitry Andric	has now been fixed, but any C++ applications or shared libraries built
21969f23d19aSDimitry Andric	between r261283 and r261801 should be recompiled.

2216d7efee23SJulio Merino	If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile

22262773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.

22282773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	enctype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 or aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 will
22292773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	be different at the 17th octet and later, after this change.

2262a24eff53SWarner Losh	General Notes
2263a24eff53SWarner Losh	-------------
22645780f3baSWarner Losh	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
22655780f3baSWarner Losh	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
2266456b5dd8SWarner Losh	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
2267456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
2268456b5dd8SWarner Losh	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
226916ae8351SEd Maste	Occasionally a build failure will occur with "make -j" due to a race
227016ae8351SEd Maste	condition.  If this happens try building again without -j, and please
227116ae8351SEd Maste	report a bug if it happens consistently.
22725780f3baSWarner Losh
22735ad05815SWarner Losh	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
22745ad05815SWarner Losh	upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
22755ad05815SWarner Losh	do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
22765ad05815SWarner Losh	and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try this
22775ad05815SWarner Losh	approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade.  Since
227844c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from
22795ad05815SWarner Losh	anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
22805ad05815SWarner Losh	last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's
22815ad05815SWarner Losh	an exception.

228356cd269eSEd Maste	The update process will emit an error on an attempt to perform a build
228456cd269eSEd Maste	or install from a FreeBSD version below the earliest supported version.
228556cd269eSEd Maste	When updating from an older version the update should be performed one
228656cd269eSEd Maste	major release at a time, including running `make delete-old` at each
228756cd269eSEd Maste	step.

22896eeab389SWarner Losh	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before

22949c80b8aaSWarner Losh	This file should be read as a log of events. When a later event changes

22969c80b8aaSWarner Losh	Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be
22979c80b8aaSWarner Losh	placed in the old entry. Readers of this file should also sanity check
22989c80b8aaSWarner Losh	older entries before relying on them blindly. Authors of new entries

23018fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
23028fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
23038fc25799SMartin Matuska	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
23048fc25799SMartin Matuska	these two steps:
23058fc25799SMartin Matuska
23068fc25799SMartin Matuska	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
23078fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
23088fc25799SMartin Matuska
23098fc25799SMartin Matuska	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
23108fc25799SMartin Matuska
2311d8e59012SColin Percival	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the
2312d8e59012SColin Percival	freebsd-boot partition of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
2313d8e59012SColin Percival	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i $N ada0"
2314d8e59012SColin Percival	The value $N will typically be 1 (if booting from BIOS) or 2 (if
2315d8e59012SColin Percival	booting from EFI).
23168fc25799SMartin Matuska
23178fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.

2392fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
2393fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
2394fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
2395fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
2396fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
2397ba26da8eSWarner Losh
23981dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
23991dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
24001dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
24011dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
24021dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.
24031dece4a9SWarner Losh
2404d2799054SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you should disable
2405d2799054SWarner Losh	them at this point so they don't crash your system on
2406d2799054SWarner Losh	reboot. Alternatively, you should rebuild all the modules you have in
2407d2799054SWarner Losh	your system and install them as well.  If you are running -current, you
2408d2799054SWarner Losh	should seriously consider placing all sources to all the modules for
2409d2799054SWarner Losh	your system (or symlinks to them) in /usr/local/sys/modules so this
2410d2799054SWarner Losh	happens automatically. If all your modules come from ports, then adding
2411d2799054SWarner Losh	the port origin directories to PORTS_MODULES instead is also automatic
2412d2799054SWarner Losh	and effective, eg:

2422d2799054SWarner Losh	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that you boot

2424ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh
2425a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
2426a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
2427a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
2428a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
2429a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
243050e8eca6SDoug Barton	for potential gotchas.  The -U option is also useful to consider.

243344c1484aSJens Schweikhardt	[5] Usually this step is a no-op.  However, from time to time
2434835284beSWarner Losh	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
2435835284beSWarner Losh	step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.  You may need to
2436835284beSWarner Losh	install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make

244194877c06SAlexander Leidinger	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
244294877c06SAlexander Leidinger	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.

2444ed651a74SWarner Losh	[8] The new kernel must be able to run existing binaries used by an
2445ed651a74SWarner Losh	installworld.  When upgrading across major versions, the new kernel's
2446ed651a74SWarner Losh	configuration must include the correct COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> option for
2447ed651a74SWarner Losh	existing binaries (e.g. COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to run 11.x binaries).  Failure
2448ed651a74SWarner Losh	to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A
2449ed651a74SWarner Losh	GENERIC kernel will include suitable compatibility options to run
2450ed651a74SWarner Losh	binaries from older branches.  Note that the ability to run binaries
2451ed651a74SWarner Losh	from unsupported branches is not guaranteed.

2453e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
24548ed2d94aSWarner Losh	last time you updated your kernel config file. Options also
24558ed2d94aSWarner Losh	change over time, so you may need to adjust your custom kernels
24568ed2d94aSWarner Losh	for these as well.

2458e5f5a852SEitan Adler	[9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2459e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2460e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2461e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
2462e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2463e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
2464e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	warn if it is improperly defined.
