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

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

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

54*fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits20170625:
55*fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	The FreeBSD/powerpc platform now uses a 64-bit type for time_t.  This is
56*fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must
57*fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	be careful when performing source upgrades.  It is best to run
58*fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live
59*fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition.  Additionally, all ports
60*fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	must be recompiled.  powerpc64 is largely unaffected, except in the case
61*fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits	of 32-bit compatibility.  All 32-bit binaries will be affected.
62*fbcf7bcdSJustin Hibbits
639dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170623:
645ab191c4SWarner Losh	Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This
655ab191c4SWarner Losh	will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
665ab191c4SWarner Losh	fashion.  This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
675ab191c4SWarner Losh	upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
685ab191c4SWarner Losh	the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
69a28412b0SEd Maste	enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations.
709dd39fd6SWarner Losh
719dd39fd6SWarner Losh20170620:
729dd39fd6SWarner Losh	Switch back to the BSDL dtc (Device Tree Compiler). Set WITH_GPL_DTC
739dd39fd6SWarner Losh	if you require the GPL compiler.
745ab191c4SWarner Losh
7533ecebd1SRick Macklem20170618:
7633ecebd1SRick Macklem	The internal ABI used for communication between the NFS kernel modules
7733ecebd1SRick Macklem	was changed by r320085, so __FreeBSD_version was bumped to
7833ecebd1SRick Macklem	ensure all the NFS related modules are updated together.
7933ecebd1SRick Macklem
809a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov20170617:
819a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	The ABI of struct event was changed by extending the data
829a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	member to 64bit and adding ext fields.  For upgrade, same
839a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	precautions as for the entry 20170523 "ino64" must be
849a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov	followed.
859a96ba16SKonstantin Belousov
86472c2b48SEd Maste20170531:
87472c2b48SEd Maste	The GNU roff toolchain has been removed from base. To render manpages
88472c2b48SEd Maste	which are not supported by mandoc(1), man(1) can fallback on GNU roff
89472c2b48SEd Maste	from ports (and recommends to install it).
90472c2b48SEd Maste	To render roff(7) documents, consider using GNU roff from ports or the
91472c2b48SEd Maste	heirloom doctools roff toolchain from ports via pkg install groff or
92472c2b48SEd Maste	via pkg install heirloom-doctools.
93472c2b48SEd Maste
949949595eSAdrian Chadd20170524:
959949595eSAdrian Chadd	The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
969949595eSAdrian Chadd	smaller runtime footprint builds.  This is useful for embedded systems
979949595eSAdrian Chadd	which only require one chipset support.
989949595eSAdrian Chadd
999949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
1009949595eSAdrian Chadd
1019949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath_load="YES"
1029949595eSAdrian Chadd
1039949595eSAdrian Chadd	This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
1049949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
1059949595eSAdrian Chadd	if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
1069949595eSAdrian Chadd
1079949595eSAdrian Chadd	If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
1089949595eSAdrian Chadd	platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
1099949595eSAdrian Chadd
1109949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_hal
1119949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load the chip modules in question
1129949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
1139949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load ath_main
1149949595eSAdrian Chadd	* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
1159949595eSAdrian Chadd	  bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.
1169949595eSAdrian Chadd

1189949595eSAdrian Chadd
119b149eba4SEd Maste20170523:
120b149eba4SEd Maste	The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
121dcfffd04SEd Maste	a number of types to 64 bits.  Upgrading in place requires care and
122dcfffd04SEd Maste	adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
123dcfffd04SEd Maste
124dcfffd04SEd Maste	If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
125dcfffd04SEd Maste	COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
126dcfffd04SEd Maste	system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
127dcfffd04SEd Maste
128dcfffd04SEd Maste	For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
129dcfffd04SEd Maste	artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*".   Then, carefully follow the
130dcfffd04SEd Maste	full procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild
131dcfffd04SEd Maste	everything and install it on the current system."  Specifically,
132dcfffd04SEd Maste	a reboot is required after installing the new kernel before
133dcfffd04SEd Maste	installing world.
134b149eba4SEd Maste
135a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis20170424:
136a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	The NATM framework including the en(4), fatm(4), hatm(4), and
137a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	patm(4) devices has been removed.  Consumers should plan a
138a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis	migration before the end-of-life date for FreeBSD 11.
139a25a1ff4SBrooks Davis
140a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin20170420:
141a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff has been replaced by a BSD licensed diff. Some features of GNU
142a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	diff has not been implemented, if those are needed a newer version of
143a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin	GNU diff is available via the diffutils package under the gdiff name.
144a17665bcSBaptiste Daroussin
1455810e45bSCy Schubert20170413:
1465810e45bSCy Schubert	As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when
1475810e45bSCy Schubert	keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with
1485810e45bSCy Schubert	documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
149a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	This allows keep state to be specified without forcing keep frags
1505810e45bSCy Schubert	and allows keep frags to be specified independently of keep state.
1515810e45bSCy Schubert	To maintain previous behaviour, also specify keep frags with
1520cad3ecaSCy Schubert	keep state (as documented in ipf.conf.5).
1535810e45bSCy Schubert
1541bf5e133SEd Maste20170407:
1551bf5e133SEd Maste	arm64 builds now use the base system LLD 4.0.0 linker by default,
1561bf5e133SEd Maste	instead of requiring that the aarch64-binutils port or package be
1571bf5e133SEd Maste	installed. To continue using aarch64-binutils, set
1581bf5e133SEd Maste	CROSS_BINUTILS_PREFIX=/usr/local/aarch64-freebsd/bin .
1591bf5e133SEd Maste
16028da7a25SBryan Drewery20170405:
16128da7a25SBryan Drewery	The UDP optimization in entry 20160818 that added the sysctl
16228da7a25SBryan Drewery	net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast has been reverted.  L2 broadcast
16328da7a25SBryan Drewery	packets will no longer be treated as L3 broadcast packets.
16428da7a25SBryan Drewery
1656ebc1b7bSSteven Hartland20170331:
1664d806fc6SSteven Hartland	Binds and sends to the loopback addresses, IPv6 and IPv4, will now
1676ebc1b7bSSteven Hartland	use any explicitly assigned loopback address available in the jail
1684d806fc6SSteven Hartland	instead of using the first assigned address of the jail.
1696ebc1b7bSSteven Hartland
1700458b265SEnji Cooper20170329:
1710458b265SEnji Cooper	The ctl.ko module no longer implements the iSCSI target frontend:
1720458b265SEnji Cooper	cfiscsi.ko does instead.
1730458b265SEnji Cooper
1740458b265SEnji Cooper	If building cfiscsi.ko as a kernel module, the module can be loaded
1750458b265SEnji Cooper	via one of the following methods:
1760458b265SEnji Cooper	- `cfiscsi_load="YES"` in loader.conf(5).
1770458b265SEnji Cooper	- Add `cfiscsi` to `$kld_list` in rc.conf(5).
1780458b265SEnji Cooper	- ctladm(8)/ctld(8), when compiled with iSCSI support
1790458b265SEnji Cooper	  (`WITH_ISCSI=yes` in src.conf(5))
1800458b265SEnji Cooper
1810458b265SEnji Cooper	Please see cfiscsi(4) for more details.
1820458b265SEnji Cooper
18372dec079SMarius Strobl20170316:
18472dec079SMarius Strobl	The mmcsd.ko module now additionally depends on geom_flashmap.ko.
18572dec079SMarius Strobl	Also, mmc.ko and mmcsd.ko need to be a matching pair built from the
18672dec079SMarius Strobl	same source (previously, the dependency of mmcsd.ko on mmc.ko was
18772dec079SMarius Strobl	missing, but mmcsd.ko now will refuse to load if it is incompatible
18872dec079SMarius Strobl	with mmc.ko).
18972dec079SMarius Strobl
1906ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov20170315:
1916ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	The syntax of ipfw(8) named states was changed to avoid ambiguity.
1926ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	If you have used named states in the firewall rules, you need to modify
1936ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	them after installworld and before rebooting. Now named states must
1946ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov	be prefixed with colon.
1956ed14738SAndrey V. Elsukov
1963bbe3f67SBaptiste Daroussin20170311:
197f7c23774SEmmanuel Vadot	The old drm (sys/dev/drm/) drivers for i915 and radeon have been
198f7c23774SEmmanuel Vadot	removed as the userland we provide cannot use them. The KMS version
199a3a09aefSJens Schweikhardt	(sys/dev/drm2) supports the same hardware.
200f7c23774SEmmanuel Vadot
201e1bb2a82SDimitry Andric20170302:
202617b5f75SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 4.0.0.
203617b5f75SDimitry Andric	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
204617b5f75SDimitry Andric	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
205617b5f75SDimitry Andric
206e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon20170221:
207e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	The code that provides support for ZFS .zfs/ directory functionality
208e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	has been reimplemented.  It's not possible now to create a snapshot
209e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	by mkdir under .zfs/snapshot/.  That should be the only user visible
210e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon	change.
211e9a0a054SAndriy Gapon
21218f447edSWarner Losh20170216:
21318f447edSWarner Losh	EISA bus support has been removed. The WITH_EISA option is no longer
21418f447edSWarner Losh	valid.
21518f447edSWarner Losh
21618f447edSWarner Losh20170215:
21718f447edSWarner Losh	MCA bus support has been removed.
21818f447edSWarner Losh
219f52e4bdfSEd Maste20170127:
220f52e4bdfSEd Maste	The WITH_LLD_AS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_AS_LD build knobs have been renamed
221f52e4bdfSEd Maste	WITH_LLD_IS_LD / WITHOUT_LLD_IS_LD, for consistency with CLANG_IS_CC.
222f52e4bdfSEd Maste
223062a4b8cSSean Bruno20170112:
224062a4b8cSSean Bruno	The EM_MULTIQUEUE kernel configuration option is deprecated now that
225062a4b8cSSean Bruno	the em(4) driver conforms to iflib specifications.
226062a4b8cSSean Bruno
227f2d6ace4SSean Bruno20170109:
228f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	The igb(4), em(4) and lem(4) ethernet drivers are now implemented via
229f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	IFLIB.  If you have a custom kernel configuration that excludes em(4)
230f2d6ace4SSean Bruno	but you use igb(4), you need to re-add em(4) to your custom configuration.
231f2d6ace4SSean Bruno
2324644fe91SDimitry Andric20161217:
23345bd65d6SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 3.9.1.
23445bd65d6SDimitry Andric	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
23545bd65d6SDimitry Andric	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.

2377736f1a9SDimitry Andric20161124:
2387736f1a9SDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ have been upgraded to 3.9.0.
2397736f1a9SDimitry Andric	Please see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites
2407736f1a9SDimitry Andric	and upgrading, if you are not already using clang 3.5.0 or higher.
2417736f1a9SDimitry Andric
2424026b447SJustin Hibbits20161119:
2434026b447SJustin Hibbits	The layout of the pmap structure has changed for powerpc to put the pmap
2444026b447SJustin Hibbits	statistics at the front for all CPU variations.  libkvm(3) and all tools
2454026b447SJustin Hibbits	that link against it need to be recompiled.
2464026b447SJustin Hibbits
247448897d3SAndriy Gapon20161030:
248448897d3SAndriy Gapon	isl(4) and cyapa(4) drivers now require a new driver,
249448897d3SAndriy Gapon	chromebook_platform(4), to work properly on Chromebook-class hardware.
250448897d3SAndriy Gapon	On other types of hardware the drivers may need to be configured using
251448897d3SAndriy Gapon	device hints.  Please see the corresponding manual pages for details.
252448897d3SAndriy Gapon
2532616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk20161017:
2542616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	The urtwn(4) driver was merged into rtwn(4) and now consists of
2552616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	rtwn(4) main module + rtwn_usb(4) and rtwn_pci(4) bus-specific
2562616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	parts.
2572616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	Also, firmware for RTL8188CE was renamed due to possible name
2582616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk	conflict (rtwnrtl8192cU(B) -> rtwnrtl8192cE(B))
2592616dd0bSAndriy Voskoboinyk
260a0135a1eSBaptiste Daroussin20161015:
261963d6c18SBaptiste Daroussin	GNU rcs has been removed from base.  It is available as packages:
262a0135a1eSBaptiste Daroussin	- rcs: Latest GPLv3 GNU rcs version.
26331b54b30SBaptiste Daroussin	- rcs57: Copy of the latest version of GNU rcs (GPLv2) before it was
26431b54b30SBaptiste Daroussin	removed from base.
265a0135a1eSBaptiste Daroussin
266bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney20161008:
267bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	Use of the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd, or cc_vegas congestion control
268bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	modules now requires that the kernel configuration contain the
269bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney	TCP_HHOOK option. (This option is included in the GENERIC kernel.)
270bd79708dSJonathan T. Looney
2719ce3c6b0SEd Maste20161003:
2729ce3c6b0SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY src.conf(5) knob has been retired.
2739ce3c6b0SEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy is always installed as /usr/bin/objcopy.
2749ce3c6b0SEd Maste
275bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar20160924:
276bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	Relocatable object files with the extension of .So have been renamed
277bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to use an extension of .pico instead.  The purpose of this change is
278bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	to avoid a name clash with shared libraries on case-insensitive file
279bba95d2dSMarcel Moolenaar	systems.  On those file systems, foo.So is the same file as foo.so.

29206b93667SConrad Meyer	The queue(3) debugging macro, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG, has been split into
29306b93667SConrad Meyer	two separate components, QUEUE_MACRO_DEBUG_TRACE and

2971c828193SNavdeep Parhar20160824:
2981c828193SNavdeep Parhar	r304787 changed some ioctl interfaces between the iSCSI userspace
2991c828193SNavdeep Parhar	programs and the kernel.  ctladm, ctld, iscsictl, and iscsid must be
3001c828193SNavdeep Parhar	rebuilt to work with new kernels.  __FreeBSD_version has been bumped
3011c828193SNavdeep Parhar	to 1200005.

3033e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil20160818:
30428da7a25SBryan Drewery	The UDP receive code has been updated to only treat incoming UDP
30528da7a25SBryan Drewery	packets that were addressed to an L2 broadcast address as L3
30628da7a25SBryan Drewery	broadcast packets.  It is not expected that this will affect any
30728da7a25SBryan Drewery	standards-conforming UDP application.  The new behaviour can be
30828da7a25SBryan Drewery	disabled by setting the sysctl net.inet.udp.require_l2_bcast to
30928da7a25SBryan Drewery	0.
31028da7a25SBryan Drewery
31128da7a25SBryan Drewery20160818:
3123e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil	Remove the openbsd_poll system call.
3133e7e2333SGeorge V. Neville-Neil	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.

315ddc2f805SBrooks Davis20160622:
316678243ffSBrooks Davis	The libc stub for the pipe(2) system call has been replaced with
317f0db8553SBrooks Davis	a wrapper that calls the pipe2(2) system call and the pipe(2)
318f0db8553SBrooks Davis	system call is now only implemented by the kernels that include
319f0db8553SBrooks Davis	"options COMPAT_FREEBSD10" in their config file (this is the
320f0db8553SBrooks Davis	default).  Users should ensure that this option is enabled in
321f0db8553SBrooks Davis	their kernel or upgrade userspace to r302092 before upgrading their
322f0db8553SBrooks Davis	kernel.

324583febf4SAlan Somers20160527:
325583febf4SAlan Somers	CAM will now strip leading spaces from SCSI disks' serial numbers.
326fb9b2ab1SBryan Drewery	This will affect users who create UFS filesystems on SCSI disks using
327583febf4SAlan Somers	those disk's diskid device nodes.  For example, if /etc/fstab
328583febf4SAlan Somers	previously contained a line like
329583febf4SAlan Somers	"/dev/diskid/DISK-%20%20%20%20%20%20%20ABCDEFG0123456", you should
330583febf4SAlan Somers	change it to "/dev/diskid/DISK-ABCDEFG0123456".  Users of geom
331ab5d7fb1SAlan Somers	transforms like gmirror may also be affected.  ZFS users should
332583febf4SAlan Somers	generally be fine.
333583febf4SAlan Somers
3341b82e02fSAlan Somers20160523:
3351b82e02fSAlan Somers	The bitstring(3) API has been updated with new functionality and
3361b82e02fSAlan Somers	improved performance.  But it is binary-incompatible with the old API.
3371b82e02fSAlan Somers	Objects built with the new headers may not be linked against objects
3381b82e02fSAlan Somers	built with the old headers.

34194098ab7SAndrew Turner	The brk and sbrk functions have been removed from libc on arm64.
34294098ab7SAndrew Turner	Binutils from ports has been updated to not link to these

3462c0e9e2aSWarner Losh20160517:
3472c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	The armv6 port now defaults to hard float ABI. Limited support
3482c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	for running both hardfloat and soft float on the same system
3492c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	is available using the libraries installed with -DWITH_LIBSOFT.
3502c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	This has only been tested as an upgrade path for installworld
3512c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	and packages may fail or need manual intervention to run. New
3522c0e9e2aSWarner Losh	packages will be needed.

3585f0263c1SJohn Baldwin20160510:
3595f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	Kernel modules compiled outside of a kernel build now default to
3605f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	installing to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.  Many kernel
3615f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	modules built this way (such as those in ports) already overrode
3625f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	KMODDIR explicitly to install into /boot/modules.  However,
3635f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	manually building and installing a module from /sys/modules will
3645f0263c1SJohn Baldwin	now install to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel.

36613694b35SWarner Losh20160414:
367a1743365SWarner Losh	The CAM I/O scheduler has been committed to the kernel. There should be
368a1743365SWarner Losh	no user visible impact. This does enable NCQ Trim on ada SSDs. While the
369a1743365SWarner Losh	list of known rogues that claim support for this but actually corrupt
370a1743365SWarner Losh	data is believed to be complete, be on the lookout for data
371a1743365SWarner Losh	corruption. The known rogue list is believed to be complete:
372a1743365SWarner Losh
373a1743365SWarner Losh		o Crucial MX100, M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
374a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M510 and M550 drives with MU01 firmware.
375a1743365SWarner Losh		o Micron M500 prior to MU07 firmware
376a1743365SWarner Losh		o Samsung 830, 840, and 850 all firmwares
377a1743365SWarner Losh		o FCCT M500 all firmwares
378a1743365SWarner Losh
379a1743365SWarner Losh	Crucial has firmware http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/support-ssd-firmware
380a1743365SWarner Losh	with working NCQ TRIM. For Micron branded drives, see your sales rep for
381a1743365SWarner Losh	updated firmware. Black listed drives will work correctly because these
382a1743365SWarner Losh	drives work correctly so long as no NCQ TRIMs are sent to them. Given
383a1743365SWarner Losh	this list is the same as found in Linux, it's believed there are no
384a1743365SWarner Losh	other rogues in the market place. All other models from the above
385a1743365SWarner Losh	vendors work.
386a1743365SWarner Losh
387a1743365SWarner Losh	To be safe, if you are at all concerned, you can quirk each of your
388a1743365SWarner Losh	drives to prevent NCQ from being sent by setting:
389a1743365SWarner Losh		kern.cam.ada.X.quirks="0x2"
390a1743365SWarner Losh	in loader.conf. If the drive requires the 4k sector quirk, set the

393497e8091SBryan Drewery20160330:
394497e8091SBryan Drewery	The FAST_DEPEND build option has been removed and its functionality is
395497e8091SBryan Drewery	now the one true way.  The old mkdep(1) style of 'make depend' has
396497e8091SBryan Drewery	been removed.  See 20160311 for further details.
397497e8091SBryan Drewery
398da1b038aSJustin Hibbits20160317:
399da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	Resource range types have grown from unsigned long to uintmax_t.  All
400da1b038aSJustin Hibbits	drivers, and anything using libdevinfo, need to be recompiled.
401da1b038aSJustin Hibbits
402d783b170SBryan Drewery20160311:
403d783b170SBryan Drewery	WITH_FAST_DEPEND is now enabled by default for in-tree and out-of-tree
404d783b170SBryan Drewery	builds.  It no longer runs mkdep(1) during 'make depend', and the
405d783b170SBryan Drewery	'make depend' stage can safely be skipped now as it is auto ran
406d783b170SBryan Drewery	when building 'make all' and will generate all SRCS and DPSRCS before
407d783b170SBryan Drewery	building anything else.  Dependencies are gathered at compile time with
408d783b170SBryan Drewery	-MF flags kept in separate .depend files per object file.  Users should
409d783b170SBryan Drewery	run 'make cleandepend' once if using -DNO_CLEAN to clean out older
410d783b170SBryan Drewery	stale .depend files.

412c834228bSDimitry Andric20160306:
413c834228bSDimitry Andric	On amd64, clang 3.8.0 can now insert sections of type AMD64_UNWIND into
414c834228bSDimitry Andric	kernel modules.  Therefore, if you load any kernel modules at boot time,
415c834228bSDimitry Andric	please install the boot loaders after you install the kernel, but before
416c834228bSDimitry Andric	rebooting, e.g.:
417c834228bSDimitry Andric
418c834228bSDimitry Andric	make buildworld
419c834228bSDimitry Andric	make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE

426e74e149fSDimitry Andric20160305:
427e74e149fSDimitry Andric	Clang, llvm, lldb and compiler-rt have been upgraded to 3.8.0.  Please
428e74e149fSDimitry Andric	see the 20141231 entry below for information about prerequisites and

4318b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin20160301:
4328b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	The AIO subsystem is now a standard part of the kernel.  The
4338b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	VFS_AIO kernel option and aio.ko kernel module have been removed.
4348b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	Due to stability concerns, asynchronous I/O requests are only
4358b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	permitted on sockets and raw disks by default.  To enable
4368b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	asynchronous I/O requests on all file types, set the
4378b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin	vfs.aio.enable_unsafe sysctl to a non-zero value.
4388b66d3d3SJohn Baldwin
439de463b29SEd Maste20160226:
440ca8b902aSEd Maste	The ELF object manipulation tool objcopy is now provided by the
441ca8b902aSEd Maste	ELF Tool Chain project rather than by GNU binutils. It should be a
442ca8b902aSEd Maste	drop-in replacement, with the addition of arm64 support. The
443ca8b902aSEd Maste	(temporary) src.conf knob WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY knob may be set
444ca8b902aSEd Maste	to obtain the GNU version if necessary.
445ca8b902aSEd Maste
446d4b9233aSAlan Somers20160129:
447d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Building ZFS pools on top of zvols is prohibited by default.  That
448d4b9233aSAlan Somers	feature has never worked safely; it's always been prone to deadlocks.
449d4b9233aSAlan Somers	Using a zvol as the backing store for a VM guest's virtual disk will
450d4b9233aSAlan Somers	still work, even if the guest is using ZFS.  Legacy behavior can be
451d4b9233aSAlan Somers	restored by setting vfs.zfs.vol.recursive=1.

45360c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav20160119:
45460c59fadSDag-Erling Smørgrav	The NONE and HPN patches has been removed from OpenSSH.  They are

4573bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo20160113:
4583bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	With the addition of ypldap(8), a new _ypldap user is now required
4593bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add the user
4603bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo	prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
4613bf7d9a6SMarcelo Araujo
4624d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin20151216:
4634d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	The tftp loader (pxeboot) now uses the option root-path directive. As a
4644d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	consequence it no longer looks for a pxeboot.4th file on the tftp
4654d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	server. Instead it uses the regular /boot infrastructure as with the
4664d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin	other loaders.
4674d6ab32fSBaptiste Daroussin
468ca7e5285SWarner Losh20151211:
469ca7e5285SWarner Losh	The code to start recording plug and play data into the modules has
470ca7e5285SWarner Losh	been committed. While the old tools will properly build a new kernel,
471ca7e5285SWarner Losh	a number of warnings about "unknown metadata record 4" will be produced
472ca7e5285SWarner Losh	for an older kldxref. To avoid such warnings, make sure to rebuild
473ca7e5285SWarner Losh	the kernel toolchain (or world). Make sure that you have r292078 or
474ca7e5285SWarner Losh	later when trying to build 292077 or later before rebuilding.
475ca7e5285SWarner Losh
476015dfda6SEd Maste20151207:
477015dfda6SEd Maste	Debug data files are now built by default with 'make buildworld' and
478015dfda6SEd Maste	installed with 'make installworld'. This facilitates debugging but
479015dfda6SEd Maste	requires more disk space both during the build and for the installed
480015dfda6SEd Maste	world. Debug files may be disabled by setting WITHOUT_DEBUG_FILES=yes
481015dfda6SEd Maste	in src.conf(5).
482015dfda6SEd Maste
48333ba1088SRick Macklem20151130:
48433ba1088SRick Macklem	r291527 changed the internal interface between the nfsd.ko and
48533ba1088SRick Macklem	nfscommon.ko modules. As such, they must both be upgraded to-gether.
48633ba1088SRick Macklem	__FreeBSD_version has been bumped because of this.
48733ba1088SRick Macklem
488af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin20151108:
489af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	Add support for unicode collation strings leads to a change of
490af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	order of files listed by ls(1) for example. To get back to the old
491af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin	behaviour, set LC_COLLATE environment variable to "C".
492af1d74f0SBaptiste Daroussin
4930492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	Databases administrators will need to reindex their databases given
4940492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin	collation results will be different.
4950492a14fSBaptiste Daroussin
49610b5202eSBaptiste Daroussin	Due to a bug in install(1) it is recommended to remove the ancient

505ebda5173SAlexander Motin20151020:
506ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Qlogic 24xx/25xx firmware images were updated from 5.5.0 to 7.3.0.
507ebda5173SAlexander Motin	Kernel modules isp_2400_multi and isp_2500_multi were removed and
508ebda5173SAlexander Motin	should be replaced with isp_2400 and isp_2500 modules respectively.
509ebda5173SAlexander Motin
51056585ab5SBryan Drewery20151017:
51156585ab5SBryan Drewery	The build previously allowed using 'make -n' to not recurse into
51256585ab5SBryan Drewery	sub-directories while showing what commands would be executed, and
51356585ab5SBryan Drewery	'make -n -n' to recursively show commands.  Now 'make -n' will recurse
51456585ab5SBryan Drewery	and 'make -N' will not.
51556585ab5SBryan Drewery
516ff446b05SPeter Wemm20151012:
517ff446b05SPeter Wemm	If you specify SENDMAIL_MC or SENDMAIL_CF in make.conf, mergemaster
518ff446b05SPeter Wemm	and etcupdate will now use this file. A custom sendmail.cf is now
519ff446b05SPeter Wemm	updated via this mechanism rather than via installworld.  If you had
520ff446b05SPeter Wemm	excluded sendmail.cf in mergemaster.rc or etcupdate.conf, you may
521ff446b05SPeter Wemm	want to remove the exclusion or change it to "always install".
522ff446b05SPeter Wemm	/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is now managed the same way regardless of
523ff446b05SPeter Wemm	whether SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF is used.  If you are not using
524ff446b05SPeter Wemm	SENDMAIL_MC/SENDMAIL_CF there should be no change in behavior.
525ff446b05SPeter Wemm
5264a3760baSAlexander Motin20151011:
5274a3760baSAlexander Motin	Compatibility shims for legacy ATA device names have been removed.

5375882166bSEd Maste20150924:
53805117b57SEd Maste	Kernel debug files have been moved to /usr/lib/debug/boot/kernel/,
53905117b57SEd Maste	and renamed from .symbols to .debug. This reduces the size requirements
54005117b57SEd Maste	on the boot partition or file system and provides consistency with
54105117b57SEd Maste	userland debug files.
54205117b57SEd Maste
54305117b57SEd Maste	When using the supported kernel installation method the

5528ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	interface' from the ifconfig -l output. The rc.d network scripts
5538ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	used to check presence of a parent interface in the list, so old
5548ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	scripts would fail to start wireless networking. Thus, etcupdate(3)
5558ed69220SGleb Smirnoff	or mergemaster(8) run is required after kernel update, to update your

572646041a8SMark Murray	function calls that the loadable modules need to provide,
573646041a8SMark Murray	the build-in variants will be slightly more efficient.
574646041a8SMark Murray
575646041a8SMark Murray	The random(4) kernel option RANDOM_DUMMY has been retired due to

584e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	The polarity of Pulse Per Second (PPS) capture events with the
585e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	uart(4) driver has been corrected.  Prior to this change the PPS
586e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	"assert" event corresponded to the trailing edge of a positive PPS
587e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	pulse and the "clear" event was the leading edge of the next pulse.
588e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
589e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	As the width of a PPS pulse in a typical GPS receiver is on the
590e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	order of 1 millisecond, most users will not notice any significant
591e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	difference with this change.
592e7dbaf58SIan Lepore
593e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	Anyone who has compensated for the historical polarity reversal by
594e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	configuring a negative offset equal to the pulse width will need to
595e7dbaf58SIan Lepore	remove that workaround.

623ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro20150706:
624ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	sendmail has been updated to 8.15.2.  Starting with FreeBSD 11.0
625ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	and sendmail 8.15, sendmail uses uncompressed IPv6 addresses by
626ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	default, i.e., they will not contain "::".  For example, instead
627ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	of ::1, it will be 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1.  This permits a zero subnet
628ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	to have a more specific match, such as different map entries for
629ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	IPv6:0:0 vs IPv6:0.  This change requires that configuration
630ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	data (including maps, files, classes, custom ruleset, etc.) must
631ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	use the same format, so make certain such configuration data is
632ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	upgrading.  As a very simple check search for patterns like
633ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	'IPv6:[0-9a-fA-F:]*::' and 'IPv6::'.  To return to the old
634ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	behavior, set the m4 option confUSE_COMPRESSED_IPV6_ADDRESSES or
635ab1f4a42SGregory Neil Shapiro	the cf option UseCompressedIPv6Addresses.

637d1b06863SMark Murray20150630:
638d1b06863SMark Murray	The default kernel entropy-processing algorithm is now
639d1b06863SMark Murray	Fortuna, replacing Yarrow.
6406f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
641d1b06863SMark Murray	Assuming you have 'device random' in your kernel config
642d1b06863SMark Murray	file, the configurations allow a kernel option to override
643d1b06863SMark Murray	this default. You may choose *ONE* of:
6446f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
645d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_YARROW	# Legacy /dev/random algorithm.
646d1b06863SMark Murray	options	RANDOM_DUMMY	# Blocking-only driver.
6476f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
648d1b06863SMark Murray	If you have neither, you get Fortuna.  For most people,
649d1b06863SMark Murray	read no further, Fortuna will give a /dev/random that works
650d1b06863SMark Murray	like it always used to, and the difference will be irrelevant.
6516f78e390SSimon J. Gerraty
652d1b06863SMark Murray	If you remove 'device random', you get *NO* kernel-processed
65302dcb6e0SEitan Adler	entropy at all. This may be acceptable to folks building
654d1b06863SMark Murray	embedded systems, but has complications. Carry on reading,
655d1b06863SMark Murray	and it is assumed you know what you need.
656d1b06863SMark Murray
657d1b06863SMark Murray	*PLEASE* read random(4) and random(9) if you are in the
65802dcb6e0SEitan Adler	habit of tweaking kernel configs, and/or if you are a member
659d1b06863SMark Murray	of the embedded community, wanting specific and not-usual
660d1b06863SMark Murray	behaviour from your security subsystems.
661d1b06863SMark Murray
662d1b06863SMark Murray	NOTE!! If you use RANDOM_DUMMY and/or have no 'device
663d1b06863SMark Murray	random', you will NOT have a functioning /dev/random, and
664d1b06863SMark Murray	many cryptographic features will not work, including SSH.
665d1b06863SMark Murray	You may also find strange behaviour from the random(3) set
666d1b06863SMark Murray	of library functions, in particular sranddev(3), srandomdev(3)
667d1b06863SMark Murray	and arc4random(3). The reason for this is that the KERN_ARND
668d1b06863SMark Murray	sysctl only returns entropy if it thinks it has some to
669d1b06863SMark Murray	share, and with RANDOM_DUMMY or no 'device random' this
670d1b06863SMark Murray	will never happen.

830143c11b4SDimitry Andric
8310ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	On any standard FreeBSD 10.x or 11.x installation, where clang and
8320ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	libc++ are on by default (that is, on x86 or arm), this should work out
8330ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	of the box.
834143c11b4SDimitry Andric
835143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 9.x installations where clang is enabled by default, e.g. on x86 and
836143c11b4SDimitry Andric	powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be
837143c11b4SDimitry Andric	built (with clang) and installed first.  If both clang and libc++ are
838143c11b4SDimitry Andric	missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++.
839143c11b4SDimitry Andric
840143c11b4SDimitry Andric	On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow
841143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the instructions for 9.x above.
842143c11b4SDimitry Andric
8430ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by
8440ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	default, and do not build clang.
8450ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
8460ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to
8470ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all.  In those
8480ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric	cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround.
8490ac2c3d1SDimitry Andric
850143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which
851143c11b4SDimitry Andric	the following are most likely to appear:
852143c11b4SDimitry Andric
853143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wabsolute-value
854143c11b4SDimitry Andric
855143c11b4SDimitry Andric	This warns in two cases, for both C and C++:
856143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned
857143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was
858143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  intended.  The code should be fixed, if at all possible.  If you are
859143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without
860143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit
861143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  cast, or disable the warning.
862143c11b4SDimitry Andric
863143c11b4SDimitry Andric	* When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called
864143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation.
865143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please
866143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted
867143c11b4SDimitry Andric	  side-effects.
868143c11b4SDimitry Andric
869143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wtautological-undefined-compare and
870143c11b4SDimitry Andric	-Wundefined-bool-conversion
871143c11b4SDimitry Andric
872143c11b4SDimitry Andric	These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while
873143c11b4SDimitry Andric	'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code.  However, there is
874143c11b4SDimitry Andric	some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this
875143c11b4SDimitry Andric	feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions.
876143c11b4SDimitry Andric
877143c11b4SDimitry Andric	Squid and openjdk do this, for example.  The warning can be turned off
878143c11b4SDimitry Andric	for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result
879143c11b4SDimitry Andric	in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are
880143c11b4SDimitry Andric	unreachable could be optimized away.
881143c11b4SDimitry Andric
8820b327b63SRick Macklem20141222:
8830b327b63SRick Macklem	The old NFS client and server (kernel options NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER)

9072d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
9082d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf,
9092d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	most probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will
9102d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	indicate what you need to do.
9112d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron
9122d6f6d63SJean-Sébastien Pédron	vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to

942232490c6SNathan Whitehorn20140729:
943232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	The ofwfb driver, used to provide a graphics console on PowerPC when
94474342541SChristian Brueffer	using vt(4), no longer allows mmap() of all physical memory. This
945232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	will prevent Xorg on PowerPC with some ATI graphics cards from
946232490c6SNathan Whitehorn	initializing properly unless x11-servers/xorg-server is updated to

98018aa7fccSRick Macklem	Commit r268115 has added NFSv4.1 server support, merged from
98118aa7fccSRick Macklem	projects/nfsv4.1-server.  Since this includes changes to the
98218aa7fccSRick Macklem	internal interfaces between the NFS related modules, a full

986824a9093SEd Maste20140629:
987824a9093SEd Maste	The WITHOUT_VT_SUPPORT kernel config knob has been renamed
988824a9093SEd Maste	WITHOUT_VT.  (The other _SUPPORT knobs have a consistent meaning

99138b72f8cSAlexander Motin20140619:
99238b72f8cSAlexander Motin	Maximal length of the serial number in CTL was increased from 16 to
99338b72f8cSAlexander Motin	64 chars, that breaks ABI.  All CTL-related tools, such as ctladm
99438b72f8cSAlexander Motin	and ctld, need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.

996727a7ce8SJulio Merino20140606:
997727a7ce8SJulio Merino	The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and
998727a7ce8SJulio Merino	1 respectively to match the upstream numbers.  They were out of
999727a7ce8SJulio Merino	sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the
1000727a7ce8SJulio Merino	upstream versions were not respected.  These libraries are private
1001727a7ce8SJulio Merino	and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a
1002727a7ce8SJulio Merino	non-issue.  However, unclean source trees will yield broken test
1003727a7ce8SJulio Merino	programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a
1004727a7ce8SJulio Merino	"make installworld".
1005727a7ce8SJulio Merino
10068c7ec47aSJulio Merino	Additionally, the atf-sh binary was made private by moving it into
10078c7ec47aSJulio Merino	/usr/libexec/.  Already-built shell test programs will keep the
10088c7ec47aSJulio Merino	path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old"
10098c7ec47aSJulio Merino	is run.
10108c7ec47aSJulio Merino
1011727a7ce8SJulio Merino	If you are using WITH_TESTS=yes (not the default), wipe the object
1012727a7ce8SJulio Merino	tree and rebuild from scratch to prevent spurious test failures.
10138c7ec47aSJulio Merino	This is only needed once: the misnumbered libraries and misplaced
10148c7ec47aSJulio Merino	binaries have been added to OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc so they will
10158c7ec47aSJulio Merino	be removed during a clean upgrade.

101785d60e68SDimitry Andric20140512:
101885d60e68SDimitry Andric	Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4.1 release.
101985d60e68SDimitry Andric
1020fa114234SWarner Losh20140508:
1021fa114234SWarner Losh	We bogusly installed src.opts.mk in /usr/share/mk. This file should
1022fa114234SWarner Losh	be removed to avoid issues in the future (and has been added to
1023fa114234SWarner Losh	ObsoleteFiles.inc).
1024fa114234SWarner Losh
1025a46954e2SWarner Losh20140505:
1026a46954e2SWarner Losh	/etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the
1027a46954e2SWarner Losh	past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old
1028a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this
1029a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf
1030a46954e2SWarner Losh	(which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the
1031a46954e2SWarner Losh	behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual
103259a24370SWarner Losh	directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that.
1033a46954e2SWarner Losh	Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios,
103455b76981SWarner Losh	other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of
103555b76981SWarner Losh	temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld
103659a24370SWarner Losh	as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this
103759a24370SWarner Losh	setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree.
1038a46954e2SWarner Losh
1039bd871f14SWarner Losh	One side effect of all this cleaning up is that bsd.compiler.mk
1040bd871f14SWarner Losh	is no longer implicitly included by bsd.own.mk. If you wish to
1041bd871f14SWarner Losh	use COMPILER_TYPE, you must now explicitly include bsd.compiler.mk
1042bd871f14SWarner Losh	as well.

1048e9aba509SEnji Cooper20140424:
1049e9aba509SEnji Cooper	The knob WITHOUT_VI was added to the base system, which controls
1050e9aba509SEnji Cooper	building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1)
1051e9aba509SEnji Cooper	in order to reorder files share/termcap and didn't build ex(1) as a
1052e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build tool, so building/installing with WITH_VI is highly advised for
1053e9aba509SEnji Cooper	build hosts for older releases.
1054e9aba509SEnji Cooper
1055e9aba509SEnji Cooper	This issue has been fixed in stable/9 and stable/10 in r277022 and
1056e9aba509SEnji Cooper	r276991, respectively.

10634c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar20140405:
10644c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
10654c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	of the low-level console. Previously the uart(4) driver prevented
10664c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL
10674c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make
10684c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	changes to the serial console port without having to reboot.
10694c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is
10704c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal
10714c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact.
10724c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the
10734c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to
1074086036aaSMarcel Moolenaar	preserve the previous behaviour. E.g:
10754c710b67SMarcel Moolenaar	    ttyu0  "/usr/libexec/getty 3wire"  vt100  on  secure

1084a9fd2218SWarner Losh	dts files not being supported by the BSDL dtc compiler. You will need
1085a9fd2218SWarner Losh	to rebuild your kernel toolchain to pick up the new compiler. Core dumps
1086a9fd2218SWarner Losh	may result while building dtb files during a kernel build if you fail

10969f23d19aSDimitry Andric20140212:
10979f23d19aSDimitry Andric	An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
10989f23d19aSDimitry Andric	This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built
10999f23d19aSDimitry Andric	against the previous version of libc++ to crash.  The incompatibility
11009f23d19aSDimitry Andric	has now been fixed, but any C++ applications or shared libraries built

11045e4b8b0dSXin LI	OpenSSH will now ignore errors caused by kernel lacking of Capsicum
11055e4b8b0dSXin LI	capability mode support.  Please note that enabling the feature in

11085e4b8b0dSXin LI20140131:
11095e4b8b0dSXin LI	OpenSSH is now built with sandbox support, and will use sandbox as
11105e4b8b0dSXin LI	the default privilege separation method.  This requires Capsicum

11142e503d34SKai Wang	The libelf and libdwarf libraries have been updated to newer
11152e503d34SKai Wang	versions from upstream. Shared library version numbers for
11162e503d34SKai Wang	these two libraries were bumped. Any ports or binaries
11172e503d34SKai Wang	requiring these two libraries should be recompiled.

1120d7efee23SJulio Merino20140110:
1121d7efee23SJulio Merino	If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile
1122d7efee23SJulio Merino	instead of providing an explicit one, this would prevent such
1123d7efee23SJulio Merino	Makefile from providing its own Kyuafile in the future during
1124d7efee23SJulio Merino	NO_CLEAN builds.  This has been fixed in the Makefiles but manual
1125d7efee23SJulio Merino	intervention is needed to clean an objdir if you use NO_CLEAN:
1126d7efee23SJulio Merino	  # find /usr/obj -name Kyuafile | xargs rm -f

11282773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk20131213:
11292773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The behavior of gss_pseudo_random() for the krb5 mechanism
11302773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	has changed, for applications requesting a longer random string
11312773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.
11322773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	In particular, the random string produced from a session key of
11332773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	enctype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 or aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 will
11342773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	be different at the 17th octet and later, after this change.
11352773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	The counter used in the PRF+ construction is now encoded as a
11362773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	big-endian integer in accordance with RFC 4402.
11372773bfa9SBenjamin Kaduk	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1100004.

1140e01d128aSJulio Merino	The WITHOUT_ATF build knob has been removed and its functionality
1141e01d128aSJulio Merino	has been subsumed into the more generic WITHOUT_TESTS.  If you were
1142e01d128aSJulio Merino	using the former to disable the build of the ATF libraries, you
1143e01d128aSJulio Merino	should change your settings to use the latter.

1147b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	NetBSD.  The output is generally the same, but may vary
1148b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	slightly.  If you found you need identical output adding
1149b9cd6b0aSBrooks Davis	"-F freebsd9" to the command line should do the trick.  For the

11659c80b8aaSWarner Losh20131010:
116684b354cbSHiroki Sato	The rc.d/jail script has been updated to support jail(8)
116784b354cbSHiroki Sato	configuration file.  The "jail_<jname>_*" rc.conf(5) variables
116884b354cbSHiroki Sato	for per-jail configuration are automatically converted to
116984b354cbSHiroki Sato	/var/run/jail.<jname>.conf before the jail(8) utility is invoked.
117084b354cbSHiroki Sato	This is transparently backward compatible.  See below about some
117184b354cbSHiroki Sato	incompatibilities and rc.conf(5) manual page for more details.
117284b354cbSHiroki Sato
117384b354cbSHiroki Sato	These variables are now deprecated in favor of jail(8) configuration
117484b354cbSHiroki Sato	file.  One can use "rc.d/jail config <jname>" command to generate
117584b354cbSHiroki Sato	a jail(8) configuration file in /var/run/jail.<jname>.conf without
117684b354cbSHiroki Sato	running the jail(8) utility.   The default pathname of the
117784b354cbSHiroki Sato	configuration file is /etc/jail.conf and can be specified by
117884b354cbSHiroki Sato	using $jail_conf or $jail_<jname>_conf variables.
117984b354cbSHiroki Sato
118084b354cbSHiroki Sato	Please note that jail_devfs_ruleset accepts an integer at

11842d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav20130930:
11852d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav	BIND has been removed from the base system.  If all you need
11862d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav	is a local resolver, simply enable and start the local_unbound
11872d69252aSDag-Erling Smørgrav	service instead.  Otherwise, several versions of BIND are
11888a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	available in the ports tree.   The dns/bind99 port is one example.
11898a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues
11908a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	With this change, nslookup(1) and dig(1) are no longer in the base
1191edc144a1SCraig Rodrigues	system.  Users should instead use host(1) and drill(1) which are
11928a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	in the base system.  Alternatively, nslookup and dig can
11938a65c0b9SCraig Rodrigues	be obtained by installing the dns/bind-tools port.

1195665751ecSGlen Barber20130916:
1196665751ecSGlen Barber	With the addition of unbound(8), a new unbound user is now
1197665751ecSGlen Barber	required during installworld.  "mergemaster -p" can be used to

1200bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav20130911:
1201bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	OpenSSH is now built with DNSSEC support, and will by default
1202bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	silently trust signed SSHFP records.  This can be controlled with
1203bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	the VerifyHostKeyDNS client configuration setting.  DNSSEC support
1204bd8277b4SDag-Erling Smørgrav	can be disabled entirely with the WITHOUT_LDNS option in src.conf.

1206d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall20130906:
1207d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	The GNU Compiler Collection and C++ standard library (libstdc++)
1208d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	are no longer built by default on platforms where clang is the system
1209d6d3e03eSDavid Chisnall	compiler.  You can enable them with the WITH_GCC and WITH_GNUCXX

12124877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek20130905:
12132057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	The PROCDESC kernel option is now part of the GENERIC kernel
12142057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	configuration and is required for the rwhod(8) to work.
12152057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	If you are using custom kernel configuration, you should include
12162057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek	'options PROCDESC'.
12172057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek
12182057b58bSPawel Jakub Dawidek20130905:
12194877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	The API and ABI related to the Capsicum framework was modified
12204877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	in backward incompatible way. The userland libraries and programs
12214877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	have to be recompiled to work with the new kernel. This includes the
12224877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	following libraries and programs, but the whole buildworld is
12234877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	advised: libc, libprocstat, dhclient, tcpdump, hastd, hastctl,
12244877522eSPawel Jakub Dawidek	kdump, procstat, rwho, rwhod, uniq.

1226c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney20130903:
1227c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney	AES-NI intrinsic support has been added to gcc.  The AES-NI module
1228c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney	has been updated to use this support.  A new gcc is required to build
1229c8a84c2aSJohn-Mark Gurney	the aesni module on both i386 and amd64.

123146be218dSDavid E. O'Brien20130821:
123246be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	The PADLOCK_RNG and RDRAND_RNG kernel options are now devices.
123346be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	Thus "device padlock_rng" and "device rdrand_rng" should be
123446be218dSDavid E. O'Brien	used instead of "options PADLOCK_RNG" & "options RDRAND_RNG".
123546be218dSDavid E. O'Brien
12360ff204bbSPeter Wemm20130813:
12370ff204bbSPeter Wemm	WITH_ICONV has been split into two feature sets.  WITH_ICONV now
12380ff204bbSPeter Wemm	enables just the iconv* functionality and is now on by default.
12390ff204bbSPeter Wemm	WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT enables the libiconv api and link time
1240a1ff7af0SPedro F. Giffuni	compatibility.  Set WITHOUT_ICONV to build the old way.
12410dc59c0fSPeter Wemm	If you have been using WITH_ICONV before, you will very likely
12420dc59c0fSPeter Wemm	need to turn on WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT.
12430ff204bbSPeter Wemm
1244ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato20130806:
1245c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	INVARIANTS option now enables DEBUG for code with OpenSolaris and
1246c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	Illumos origin, including ZFS.  If you have INVARIANTS in your
1247c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	kernel configuration, then there is no need to set DEBUG or ZFS_DEBUG
1248c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	explicitly.
1249c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	DEBUG used to enable witness(9) tracking of OpenSolaris (mostly ZFS)
1250c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	locks if WITNESS option was set.  Because that generated a lot of
1251c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	witness(9) reports and all of them were believed to be false
1252c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	positives, this is no longer done.  New option OPENSOLARIS_WITNESS
1253c319ea15SAndriy Gapon	can be used to achieve the previous behavior.
1254c319ea15SAndriy Gapon
1255c319ea15SAndriy Gapon20130806:
1256ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	Timer values in IPv6 data structures now use time_uptime instead
1257ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	of time_second.  Although this is not a user-visible functional
1258ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	change, userland utilities which directly use them---ndp(8),
1259ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	rtadvd(8), and rtsold(8) in the base system---need to be updated
1260ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato	to r253970 or later.
1261ccc88f7bSHiroki Sato
12629d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker20130802:
12639d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	find -delete can now delete the pathnames given as arguments,
12649d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	instead of only files found below them or if the pathname did
12659d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	not contain any slashes. Formerly, the following error message
12669d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	would result:
12679d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker
12689d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	find: -delete: <path>: relative path potentially not safe
12699d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker
12709d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	Deleting the pathnames given as arguments can be prevented
12719d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	without error messages using -mindepth 1 or by changing
12729d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	directory and passing "." as argument to find. This works in the
12739d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker	old as well as the new version of find.
12749d6d5a71SJilles Tjoelker
1275663dea3dSAndriy Gapon20130726:
1276663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	Behavior of devfs rules path matching has been changed.
1277663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	Pattern is now always matched against fully qualified devfs
1278663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	path and slash characters must be explicitly matched by
1279663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	slashes in pattern (FNM_PATHNAME). Rulesets involving devfs
1280663dea3dSAndriy Gapon	subdirectories must be reviewed.

128246e95f64SAndrew Turner20130716:
128346e95f64SAndrew Turner	The default ARM ABI has changed to the ARM EABI. The old ABI is
128446e95f64SAndrew Turner	incompatible with the ARM EABI and all programs and modules will
128546e95f64SAndrew Turner	need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
128646e95f64SAndrew Turner
128746e95f64SAndrew Turner	To keep using the old ABI ensure the WITHOUT_ARM_EABI knob is set.
128846e95f64SAndrew Turner
128946e95f64SAndrew Turner	NOTE: Support for the old ABI will be removed in the future and

1328ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty20130516:
1329ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	Use bmake by default.
1330ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via
1331ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	-DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old
1332ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE.
1333ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty
1334ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command
1335ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the
1336ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	command line.  Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer
1337ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent
1338ff8d4375SSimon J. Gerraty	behavior in parallel build.

13793a45b478SKenneth D. Merry20130304:
138023d44ab5SDavide Italiano	Recent commits to callout(9) changed the size of struct callout,
138123d44ab5SDavide Italiano	so the KBI is probably heavily disturbed. Also, some functions
138223d44ab5SDavide Italiano	in callout(9)/sleep(9)/sleepqueue(9)/condvar(9) KPIs were replaced
138323d44ab5SDavide Italiano	by macros. Every kernel module using it won't load, so rebuild
138423d44ab5SDavide Italiano	is requested.

13863a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	The ctl device has been re-enabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64,
13873a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	but does not initialize by default (because of the new CTL_DISABLE
13883a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	option) to save memory.  To re-enable it, remove the CTL_DISABLE
13893a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	option from the kernel config file or set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0
13903a45b478SKenneth D. Merry	in /boot/loader.conf.

1392fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd20130301:
1393fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	The ctl device has been disabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64.
1394fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	This was done due to the extra memory being allocated at system
1395fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	initialisation time by the ctl driver which was only used if
1396fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	a CAM target device was created.  This makes a FreeBSD system
1397fe138cc2SAdrian Chadd	unusable on 128MB or less of RAM.

14072dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed
14082dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch.
14092dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default,
14102dd076b8SGabor Kovesdan	while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild

1413fe06cae7SBrooks Davis20130121:
1414fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	Due to the use of the new -l option to install(1) during build
1415fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	and install, you must take care not to directly set the INSTALL
1416fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	make variable in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf, or on the
14178c5836c3SEitan Adler	command line.  If you wish to use the -C flag for all installs
1418fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	you may be able to add INSTALL+=-C to /etc/make.conf or
1419fe06cae7SBrooks Davis	/etc/src.conf.
1420fe06cae7SBrooks Davis
1421f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis20130118:
1422f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an
1423f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	argument that is a file or path to append logs to.  In the
1424f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line
1425f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	and the command line contained at least two files and a target
1426f2b19f9eSBrooks Davis	directory the first file will have logs appended to it.  The -M
14274cf5de80SGlen Barber	option served little practical purpose in the last decade so its
14284cf5de80SGlen Barber	use is expected to be extremely rare.

1453b91dc775SHiroki Sato20121117:
1454b91dc775SHiroki Sato	The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now
1455b91dc775SHiroki Sato	filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via
1456b91dc775SHiroki Sato	sysctl or routing socket.  This means the KAME-specific embedded scope
1457b91dc775SHiroki Sato	id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application.
1458b91dc775SHiroki Sato	This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid.
1459b91dc775SHiroki Sato	__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025.

14615b6478b0SBrooks Davis20121105:
14625b6478b0SBrooks Davis	On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default.
14635b6478b0SBrooks Davis	This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang
14645b6478b0SBrooks Davis	and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++,
14655b6478b0SBrooks Davis	and /usr/bin/cpp.  To disable this behavior and revert to building
1466da0e842aSWarner Losh	with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC. Really old versions
1467da0e842aSWarner Losh	of current may need to bootstrap WITHOUT_CLANG first if the clang
1468da0e842aSWarner Losh	build fails (its compatibility window doesn't extend to the 9 stable

14758f134647SGleb Smirnoff20121023:
1476cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	The ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option has been removed and
1477cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	split into SOCKET_SEND_COW and SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP.
1478cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	NB: SOCKET_SEND_COW uses the VM page based copy-on-write
1479cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	mechanism which is not safe and may result in kernel crashes.
1480cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	NB: The SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP mechanism is useless as no current
1481cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	driver supports disposeable external page sized mbuf storage.
1482cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	Proper replacements for both zero-copy mechanisms are under
1483cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	consideration and will eventually lead to complete removal
1484cb69178dSAndre Oppermann	of the two kernel options.

1586d1675e38SJason Evans20120417:
1587d1675e38SJason Evans	The malloc(3) implementation embedded in libc now uses sources imported
1588d1675e38SJason Evans	as contrib/jemalloc.  The most disruptive API change is to
1589d1675e38SJason Evans	/etc/malloc.conf.  If your system has an old-style /etc/malloc.conf,
1590d1675e38SJason Evans	delete it prior to installworld, and optionally re-create it using the

159584db023eSJuli Mallett20120328:
159684db023eSJuli Mallett	Big-endian MIPS TARGET_ARCH values no longer end in "eb".  mips64eb
159784db023eSJuli Mallett	is now spelled mips64.  mipsn32eb is now spelled mipsn32.  mipseb is
159884db023eSJuli Mallett	now spelled mips.  This is to aid compatibility with third-party
159984db023eSJuli Mallett	software that expects this naming scheme in uname(3).  Little-endian
1600474dbfb7SWarner Losh	settings are unchanged. If you are updating a big-endian mips64 machine
1601474dbfb7SWarner Losh	from before this change, you may need to set MACHINE_ARCH=mips64 in
1602474dbfb7SWarner Losh	your environment before the new build system will recognize your machine.

1608c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub20120229:
1609c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	Now unix domain sockets behave "as expected" on	nullfs(5). Previously
1610c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	nullfs(5) did not pass through all behaviours to the underlying layer,
1611c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	as a result if we bound to a socket on the lower layer we could connect
1612c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	only to the lower path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect
1613c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	only to	the upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the
1614c7e41c8bSMikolaj Golub	lower and the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.

1673a24eff53SWarner Losh	General Notes
1674a24eff53SWarner Losh	-------------
1675456b5dd8SWarner Losh	Avoid using make -j when upgrading.  While generally safe, there are
1676456b5dd8SWarner Losh	sometimes problems using -j to upgrade.  If your upgrade fails with
16771733d35cSRuslan Ermilov	-j, please try again without -j.  From time to time in the past there
1678456b5dd8SWarner Losh	have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld.  This
1679456b5dd8SWarner Losh	is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one
1680456b5dd8SWarner Losh	that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when
1681456b5dd8SWarner Losh	several months have passed on the -current branch).
1682a24eff53SWarner Losh
16835780f3baSWarner Losh	Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
16845780f3baSWarner Losh	poisoning.  This can happen because the make utility reads its
1685456b5dd8SWarner Losh	environment when searching for values for global variables.  To run
1686456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
1687456b5dd8SWarner Losh	commands with 'env -i '.  See the env(1) manual page for more details.
16885780f3baSWarner Losh
16895ad05815SWarner Losh	When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best to
16905ad05815SWarner Losh	upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first, then
16915ad05815SWarner Losh	do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade path,
16925ad05815SWarner Losh	and has the highest probability of being successful.  Please try this
16935ad05815SWarner Losh	approach if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade.  Since
16945ad05815SWarner Losh	the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgade from
16955ad05815SWarner Losh	anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
16965ad05815SWarner Losh	last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's
16975ad05815SWarner Losh	an exception.
1698081ff8acSDoug Barton
16996eeab389SWarner Losh	When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before
1700da0e842aSWarner Losh	installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell
1701da0e842aSWarner Losh	around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your
1702da0e842aSWarner Losh	starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade.
1703da0e842aSWarner Losh
17049c80b8aaSWarner Losh	This file should be read as a log of events. When a later event changes
17059c80b8aaSWarner Losh	information of a prior event, the prior event should not be deleted.
17069c80b8aaSWarner Losh	Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be
17079c80b8aaSWarner Losh	placed in the old entry. Readers of this file should also sanity check
17089c80b8aaSWarner Losh	older entries before relying on them blindly. Authors of new entries
17099c80b8aaSWarner Losh	should write them with this in mind.

17118fc25799SMartin Matuska	ZFS notes
17128fc25799SMartin Matuska	---------
17138fc25799SMartin Matuska	When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
17148fc25799SMartin Matuska	these two steps:
17158fc25799SMartin Matuska
17168fc25799SMartin Matuska	1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
17178fc25799SMartin Matuska	(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
17188fc25799SMartin Matuska
17198fc25799SMartin Matuska	2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
17208fc25799SMartin Matuska
17218fc25799SMartin Matuska	The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first
172272ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
172372ce7f29SAlexander Leidinger	"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0"
17248fc25799SMartin Matuska
17258fc25799SMartin Matuska	Non-boot pools do not need these updates.

1727dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	To build a kernel
1728dc0dbf5cSWarner Losh	-----------------
1729ba01eb20SWarner Losh	If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
17301cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	a few days old), you should follow this procedure.  It is the most
17311cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
17321cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien
17331cf0ef11SDavid E. O'Brien	make kernel-toolchain

17372e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	To test a kernel once
17382e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	---------------------
17392e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
17402e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
17412e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	debugging information) run
17422e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
17432e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger	nextboot -k testkernel
17442e937dd6SAlexander Leidinger
1745ba01eb20SWarner Losh	To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1746ba01eb20SWarner Losh	--------------------------------------------------------------
1747456b5dd8SWarner Losh	This assumes you are already running a CURRENT system.  Replace
17480fbd2da9SKen Smith	${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1749456b5dd8SWarner Losh	"arm", "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", "powerpc", "mips", etc).

1812ba26da8eSWarner Losh
1813fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
1814fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	tweaks to various things you need.  At this point in the life
1815fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
1816fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	to cope.  The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
1817fdb9f54dSWarner Losh	the UPDATING entries.
1818ba26da8eSWarner Losh
18191dece4a9SWarner Losh	Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
18201dece4a9SWarner Losh	freebsd-current@freebsd.org.  Make sure that before you update
18211dece4a9SWarner Losh	your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
18221dece4a9SWarner Losh	messages there.  If in doubt, please track -stable which has
18231dece4a9SWarner Losh	much fewer pitfalls.
18241dece4a9SWarner Losh
1825134d2e86SWarner Losh	[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
1826134d2e86SWarner Losh	should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
1827134d2e86SWarner Losh	system on reboot.
1828134d2e86SWarner Losh
1829ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh	[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
1830ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		fsck -p
1831ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -u /
1832ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh		mount -a
18336586253aSWarner Losh		cd src
183447d0d01fSWarner Losh		adjkerntz -i		# if CMOS is wall time
1835f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
1836f6a0ef01SWarner Losh	you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
1837ee6e1fc3SWarner Losh
1838a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	[4] Note: This step is non-optional.  Failure to do this step
1839a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
1840a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	system.  Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
1841a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
1842a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh	as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
184350e8eca6SDoug Barton	for potential gotchas.  The -U option is also useful to consider.
184450e8eca6SDoug Barton	See mergemaster(8) for more information.
1845a6cd4f9dSWarner Losh
1846835284beSWarner Losh	[5] Usually this step is a noop.  However, from time to time
1847835284beSWarner Losh	you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
1848835284beSWarner Losh	step.  It never hurts to do it all the time.  You may need to
1849835284beSWarner Losh	install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make
1850835284beSWarner Losh	install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
185120e0cc0aSBrooks Davis	from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430.
1852835284beSWarner Losh
185394877c06SAlexander Leidinger	[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
185494877c06SAlexander Leidinger	can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
185594877c06SAlexander Leidinger	sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.
185694877c06SAlexander Leidinger
1857456b5dd8SWarner Losh	[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to
1858456b5dd8SWarner Losh	do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in
1859456b5dd8SWarner Losh	your kernel.  Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is
1860456b5dd8SWarner Losh	hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is
1861456b5dd8SWarner Losh	required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.  And so on
1862456b5dd8SWarner Losh	for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7.
1863c74fe6afSWarner Losh
1864e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
1865e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	last time you updated your kernel config file.
1866e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
186721c075eaSWarner Losh	[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
1868e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	cvs prune empty directories.
1869e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1870e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
1871e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
1872e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
1873e5dc5f61SWarner Losh
1874e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
1875e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf.  buildworld will
1876e5dc5f61SWarner Losh	warn if it is improperly defined.
