See end of file for further details. For commonly done items, please see the

COMMON ITEMS: section later in the file. These instructions assume that you
|
|
basically know what you are doing. If not, then please consult the FreeBSD
|
|
handbook:
|
|
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
|
|
|
|
Items affecting the ports and packages system can be found in
|
|
/usr/ports/UPDATING. Please read that file before running portupgrade.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: FreeBSD has switched from gcc to clang. If you have trouble bootstrapping
|
|
from older versions of FreeBSD, try WITHOUT_CLANG to bootstrap to the tip of
|
|
head, and then rebuild without this option. The bootstrap process from
|
|
older version of current is a bit fragile.
|
|
|
|
NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 11.x IS SLOW:
|
|
FreeBSD 11.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
|
|
and userland. These features attempt to detect incorrect use of
|
|
system primitives, and encourage loud failure through extra sanity
|
|
checking and fail stop semantics. They also substantially impact
|
|
system performance. If you want to do performance measurement,
|
|
benchmarking, and optimization, you'll want to turn them off. This
|
|
includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc
|
|
debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the
|
|
kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build
|
|
machines to maximize performance. (To completely disable malloc
|
|
debugging, define MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf, or to merely
|
|
disable the most expensive debugging functionality run
|
|
"ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".)
|
|
|
|
20140226:
|
|
Switched back to the GPL dtc compiler due to updates in the upstream
|
|
dts files not being supported by the BSDL dtc compiler. You will need
|
|
to rebuild your kernel toolchain to pick up the new compiler. Core dumps
|
|
may result while building dtb files during a kernel build if you fail
|
|
to do so. Set WITHOUT_GPL_DTC if you require the BSDL compiler.
|
|
|
|
20140216:
|
|
Clang and llvm have been upgraded to 3.4 release.
|
|
|
|
20140216:
|
|
The nve(4) driver has been removed. Please use the nfe(4) driver
|
|
for NVIDIA nForce MCP Ethernet adapters instead.
|
|
|
|
20140212:
|
|
An ABI incompatibility crept into the libc++ 3.4 import in r261283.
|
|
This could cause certain C++ applications using shared libraries built
|
|
against the previous version of libc++ to crash. The incompatibility
|
|
has now been fixed, but any C++ applications or shared libraries built
|
|
between r261283 and r261801 should be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
20140204:
|
|
OpenSSH will now ignore errors caused by kernel lacking of Capsicum
|
|
capability mode support. Please note that enabling the feature in
|
|
kernel is still highly recommended.
|
|
|
|
20140131:
|
|
OpenSSH is now built with sandbox support, and will use sandbox as
|
|
the default privilege separation method. This requires Capsicum
|
|
capability mode support in kernel.
|
|
|
|
20140128:
|
|
The libelf and libdwarf libraries have been updated to newer
|
|
versions from upstream. Shared library version numbers for
|
|
these two libraries were bumped. Any ports or binaries
|
|
requiring these two libraries should be recompiled.
|
|
__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1100006.
|
|
|
|
20140110:
|
|
If a Makefile in a tests/ directory was auto-generating a Kyuafile
|
|
instead of providing an explicit one, this would prevent such
|
|
Makefile from providing its own Kyuafile in the future during
|
|
NO_CLEAN builds. This has been fixed in the Makefiles but manual
|
|
intervention is needed to clean an objdir if you use NO_CLEAN:
|
|
# find /usr/obj -name Kyuafile | xargs rm -f
|
|
|
|
20131213:
|
|
The behavior of gss_pseudo_random() for the krb5 mechanism
|
|
has changed, for applications requesting a longer random string
|
|
than produced by the underlying enctype's pseudo-random() function.
|
|
In particular, the random string produced from a session key of
|
|
enctype aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 or aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96 will
|
|
be different at the 17th octet and later, after this change.
|
|
The counter used in the PRF+ construction is now encoded as a
|
|
big-endian integer in accordance with RFC 4402.
|
|
__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1100004.
|
|
|
|
20131108:
|
|
The WITHOUT_ATF build knob has been removed and its functionality
|
|
has been subsumed into the more generic WITHOUT_TESTS. If you were
|
|
using the former to disable the build of the ATF libraries, you
|
|
should change your settings to use the latter.
|
|
|
|
20131025:
|
|
The default version of mtree is nmtree which is obtained from
|
|
NetBSD. The output is generally the same, but may vary
|
|
slightly. If you found you need identical output adding
|
|
"-F freebsd9" to the command line should do the trick. For the
|
|
time being, the old mtree is available as fmtree.
|
|
|
|
20131014:
|
|
libbsdyml has been renamed to libyaml and moved to /usr/lib/private.
|
|
This will break ports-mgmt/pkg. Rebuild the port, or upgrade to pkg
|
|
1.1.4_8 and verify bsdyml not linked in, before running "make
|
|
delete-old-libs":
|
|
# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg build deinstall install clean
|
|
or
|
|
# pkg install pkg; ldd /usr/local/sbin/pkg | grep bsdyml
|
|
|
|
20131010:
|
|
The rc.d/jail script has been updated to support jail(8)
|
|
configuration file. The "jail_<jname>_*" rc.conf(5) variables
|
|
for per-jail configuration are automatically converted to
|
|
/var/run/jail.<jname>.conf before the jail(8) utility is invoked.
|
|
This is transparently backward compatible. See below about some
|
|
incompatibilities and rc.conf(5) manual page for more details.
|
|
|
|
These variables are now deprecated in favor of jail(8) configuration
|
|
file. One can use "rc.d/jail config <jname>" command to generate
|
|
a jail(8) configuration file in /var/run/jail.<jname>.conf without
|
|
running the jail(8) utility. The default pathname of the
|
|
configuration file is /etc/jail.conf and can be specified by
|
|
using $jail_conf or $jail_<jname>_conf variables.
|
|
|
|
Please note that jail_devfs_ruleset accepts an integer at
|
|
this moment. Please consider to rewrite the ruleset name
|
|
with an integer.
|
|
|
|
20130930:
|
|
BIND has been removed from the base system. If all you need
|
|
is a local resolver, simply enable and start the local_unbound
|
|
service instead. Otherwise, several versions of BIND are
|
|
available in the ports tree. The dns/bind99 port is one example.
|
|
|
|
With this change, nslookup(1) and dig(1) are no longer in the base
|
|
system. Users should instead use host(1) and drill(1) which are
|
|
in the base system. Alternatively, nslookup and dig can
|
|
be obtained by installing the dns/bind-tools port.
|
|
|
|
20130916:
|
|
With the addition of unbound(8), a new unbound user is now
|
|
required during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to
|
|
add the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
|
|
|
|
20130911:
|
|
OpenSSH is now built with DNSSEC support, and will by default
|
|
silently trust signed SSHFP records. This can be controlled with
|
|
the VerifyHostKeyDNS client configuration setting. DNSSEC support
|
|
can be disabled entirely with the WITHOUT_LDNS option in src.conf.
|
|
|
|
20130906:
|
|
The GNU Compiler Collection and C++ standard library (libstdc++)
|
|
are no longer built by default on platforms where clang is the system
|
|
compiler. You can enable them with the WITH_GCC and WITH_GNUCXX
|
|
options in src.conf.
|
|
|
|
20130905:
|
|
The PROCDESC kernel option is now part of the GENERIC kernel
|
|
configuration and is required for the rwhod(8) to work.
|
|
If you are using custom kernel configuration, you should include
|
|
'options PROCDESC'.
|
|
|
|
20130905:
|
|
The API and ABI related to the Capsicum framework was modified
|
|
in backward incompatible way. The userland libraries and programs
|
|
have to be recompiled to work with the new kernel. This includes the
|
|
following libraries and programs, but the whole buildworld is
|
|
advised: libc, libprocstat, dhclient, tcpdump, hastd, hastctl,
|
|
kdump, procstat, rwho, rwhod, uniq.
|
|
|
|
20130903:
|
|
AES-NI intrinsic support has been added to gcc. The AES-NI module
|
|
has been updated to use this support. A new gcc is required to build
|
|
the aesni module on both i386 and amd64.
|
|
|
|
20130821:
|
|
The PADLOCK_RNG and RDRAND_RNG kernel options are now devices.
|
|
Thus "device padlock_rng" and "device rdrand_rng" should be
|
|
used instead of "options PADLOCK_RNG" & "options RDRAND_RNG".
|
|
|
|
20130813:
|
|
WITH_ICONV has been split into two feature sets. WITH_ICONV now
|
|
enables just the iconv* functionality and is now on by default.
|
|
WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT enables the libiconv api and link time
|
|
compatability. Set WITHOUT_ICONV to build the old way.
|
|
If you have been using WITH_ICONV before, you will very likely
|
|
need to turn on WITH_LIBICONV_COMPAT.
|
|
|
|
20130806:
|
|
INVARIANTS option now enables DEBUG for code with OpenSolaris and
|
|
Illumos origin, including ZFS. If you have INVARIANTS in your
|
|
kernel configuration, then there is no need to set DEBUG or ZFS_DEBUG
|
|
explicitly.
|
|
DEBUG used to enable witness(9) tracking of OpenSolaris (mostly ZFS)
|
|
locks if WITNESS option was set. Because that generated a lot of
|
|
witness(9) reports and all of them were believed to be false
|
|
positives, this is no longer done. New option OPENSOLARIS_WITNESS
|
|
can be used to achieve the previous behavior.
|
|
|
|
20130806:
|
|
Timer values in IPv6 data structures now use time_uptime instead
|
|
of time_second. Although this is not a user-visible functional
|
|
change, userland utilities which directly use them---ndp(8),
|
|
rtadvd(8), and rtsold(8) in the base system---need to be updated
|
|
to r253970 or later.
|
|
|
|
20130802:
|
|
find -delete can now delete the pathnames given as arguments,
|
|
instead of only files found below them or if the pathname did
|
|
not contain any slashes. Formerly, the following error message
|
|
would result:
|
|
|
|
find: -delete: <path>: relative path potentially not safe
|
|
|
|
Deleting the pathnames given as arguments can be prevented
|
|
without error messages using -mindepth 1 or by changing
|
|
directory and passing "." as argument to find. This works in the
|
|
old as well as the new version of find.
|
|
|
|
20130726:
|
|
Behavior of devfs rules path matching has been changed.
|
|
Pattern is now always matched against fully qualified devfs
|
|
path and slash characters must be explicitly matched by
|
|
slashes in pattern (FNM_PATHNAME). Rulesets involving devfs
|
|
subdirectories must be reviewed.
|
|
|
|
20130716:
|
|
The default ARM ABI has changed to the ARM EABI. The old ABI is
|
|
incompatible with the ARM EABI and all programs and modules will
|
|
need to be rebuilt to work with a new kernel.
|
|
|
|
To keep using the old ABI ensure the WITHOUT_ARM_EABI knob is set.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Support for the old ABI will be removed in the future and
|
|
users are advised to upgrade.
|
|
|
|
20130709:
|
|
pkg_install has been disconnected from the build if you really need it
|
|
you should add WITH_PKGTOOLS in your src.conf(5).
|
|
|
|
20130709:
|
|
Most of network statistics structures were changed to be able
|
|
keep 64-bits counters. Thus all tools, that work with networking
|
|
statistics, must be rebuilt (netstat(1), bsnmpd(1), etc.)
|
|
|
|
20130629:
|
|
Fix targets that run multiple make's to use && rather than ;
|
|
so that subsequent steps depend on success of previous.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: if building 'universe' with -j* on stable/8 or stable/9
|
|
it would be better to start the build using bmake, to avoid
|
|
overloading the machine.
|
|
|
|
20130618:
|
|
Fix a bug that allowed a tracing process (e.g. gdb) to write
|
|
to a memory-mapped file in the traced process's address space
|
|
even if neither the traced process nor the tracing process had
|
|
write access to that file.
|
|
|
|
20130615:
|
|
CVS has been removed from the base system. An exact copy
|
|
of the code is available from the devel/cvs port.
|
|
|
|
20130613:
|
|
Some people report the following error after the switch to bmake:
|
|
|
|
make: illegal option -- J
|
|
usage: make [-BPSXeiknpqrstv] [-C directory] [-D variable]
|
|
...
|
|
*** [buildworld] Error code 2
|
|
|
|
this likely due to an old instance of make in
|
|
${MAKEPATH} (${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}/make.${MACHINE})
|
|
which src/Makefile will use that blindly, if it exists, so if
|
|
you see the above error:
|
|
|
|
rm -rf `make -V MAKEPATH`
|
|
|
|
should resolve it.
|
|
|
|
20130516:
|
|
Use bmake by default.
|
|
Whereas before one could choose to build with bmake via
|
|
-DWITH_BMAKE one must now use -DWITHOUT_BMAKE to use the old
|
|
make. The goal is to remove these knobs for 10-RELEASE.
|
|
|
|
It is worth noting that bmake (like gmake) treats the command
|
|
line as the unit of failure, rather than statements within the
|
|
command line. Thus '(cd some/where && dosomething)' is safer
|
|
than 'cd some/where; dosomething'. The '()' allows consistent
|
|
behavior in parallel build.
|
|
|
|
20130429:
|
|
Fix a bug that allows NFS clients to issue READDIR on files.
|
|
|
|
20130426:
|
|
The WITHOUT_IDEA option has been removed because
|
|
the IDEA patent expired.
|
|
|
|
20130426:
|
|
The sysctl which controls TRIM support under ZFS has been renamed
|
|
from vfs.zfs.trim_disable -> vfs.zfs.trim.enabled and has been
|
|
enabled by default.
|
|
|
|
20130425:
|
|
The mergemaster command now uses the default MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
|
|
rather than creating it's own in the temporary directory in
|
|
order allow access to bootstrapped versions of tools such as
|
|
install and mtree. When upgrading from version of FreeBSD where
|
|
the install command does not support -l, you will need to
|
|
install a new mergemaster command if mergemaster -p is required.
|
|
This can be accomplished with the command (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster
|
|
&& make install).
|
|
|
|
20130404:
|
|
Legacy ATA stack, disabled and replaced by new CAM-based one since
|
|
FreeBSD 9.0, completely removed from the sources. Kernel modules
|
|
atadisk and atapi*, user-level tools atacontrol and burncd are
|
|
removed. Kernel option `options ATA_CAM` is now permanently enabled
|
|
and removed.
|
|
|
|
20130319:
|
|
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK flags have been added to socket(2)
|
|
and socketpair(2). Software, in particular Kerberos, may
|
|
automatically detect and use these during building. The resulting
|
|
binaries will not work on older kernels.
|
|
|
|
20130308:
|
|
CTL_DISABLE has also been added to the sparc64 GENERIC (for further
|
|
information, see the respective 20130304 entry).
|
|
|
|
20130304:
|
|
Recent commits to callout(9) changed the size of struct callout,
|
|
so the KBI is probably heavily disturbed. Also, some functions
|
|
in callout(9)/sleep(9)/sleepqueue(9)/condvar(9) KPIs were replaced
|
|
by macros. Every kernel module using it won't load, so rebuild
|
|
is requested.
|
|
|
|
The ctl device has been re-enabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64,
|
|
but does not initialize by default (because of the new CTL_DISABLE
|
|
option) to save memory. To re-enable it, remove the CTL_DISABLE
|
|
option from the kernel config file or set kern.cam.ctl.disable=0
|
|
in /boot/loader.conf.
|
|
|
|
20130301:
|
|
The ctl device has been disabled in GENERIC for i386 and amd64.
|
|
This was done due to the extra memory being allocated at system
|
|
initialisation time by the ctl driver which was only used if
|
|
a CAM target device was created. This makes a FreeBSD system
|
|
unusable on 128MB or less of RAM.
|
|
|
|
20130208:
|
|
A new compression method (lz4) has been merged to -HEAD. Please
|
|
refer to zpool-features(7) for more information.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
|
|
on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
|
|
|
|
20130129:
|
|
A BSD-licensed patch(1) variant has been added and is installed
|
|
as bsdpatch, being the GNU version the default patch.
|
|
To inverse the logic and use the BSD-licensed one as default,
|
|
while having the GNU version installed as gnupatch, rebuild
|
|
and install world with the WITH_BSD_PATCH knob set.
|
|
|
|
20130121:
|
|
Due to the use of the new -l option to install(1) during build
|
|
and install, you must take care not to directly set the INSTALL
|
|
make variable in your /etc/make.conf, /etc/src.conf, or on the
|
|
command line. If you wish to use the -C flag for all installs
|
|
you may be able to add INSTALL+=-C to /etc/make.conf or
|
|
/etc/src.conf.
|
|
|
|
20130118:
|
|
The install(1) option -M has changed meaning and now takes an
|
|
argument that is a file or path to append logs to. In the
|
|
unlikely event that -M was the last option on the command line
|
|
and the command line contained at least two files and a target
|
|
directory the first file will have logs appended to it. The -M
|
|
option served little practical purpose in the last decade so its
|
|
use is expected to be extremely rare.
|
|
|
|
20121223:
|
|
After switching to Clang as the default compiler some users of ZFS
|
|
on i386 systems started to experience stack overflow kernel panics.
|
|
Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=4' in such configurations.
|
|
|
|
20121222:
|
|
GEOM_LABEL now mangles label names read from file system metadata.
|
|
Mangling affect labels containing spaces, non-printable characters,
|
|
'%' or '"'. Device names in /etc/fstab and other places may need to
|
|
be updated.
|
|
|
|
20121217:
|
|
By default, only the 10 most recent kernel dumps will be saved. To
|
|
restore the previous behaviour (no limit on the number of kernel dumps
|
|
stored in the dump directory) add the following line to /etc/rc.conf:
|
|
|
|
savecore_flags=""
|
|
|
|
20121201:
|
|
With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
|
|
required during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to
|
|
add the user prior to installworld, as documented in the handbook.
|
|
|
|
20121117:
|
|
The sin6_scope_id member variable in struct sockaddr_in6 is now
|
|
filled by the kernel before passing the structure to the userland via
|
|
sysctl or routing socket. This means the KAME-specific embedded scope
|
|
id in sin6_addr.s6_addr[2] is always cleared in userland application.
|
|
This behavior can be controlled by net.inet6.ip6.deembed_scopeid.
|
|
__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 1000025.
|
|
|
|
20121105:
|
|
On i386 and amd64 systems WITH_CLANG_IS_CC is now the default.
|
|
This means that the world and kernel will be compiled with clang
|
|
and that clang will be installed as /usr/bin/cc, /usr/bin/c++,
|
|
and /usr/bin/cpp. To disable this behavior and revert to building
|
|
with gcc, compile with WITHOUT_CLANG_IS_CC. Really old versions
|
|
of current may need to bootstrap WITHOUT_CLANG first if the clang
|
|
build fails (its compatibility window doesn't extend to the 9 stable
|
|
branch point).
|
|
|
|
20121102:
|
|
The IPFIREWALL_FORWARD kernel option has been removed. Its
|
|
functionality now turned on by default.
|
|
|
|
20121023:
|
|
The ZERO_COPY_SOCKET kernel option has been removed and
|
|
split into SOCKET_SEND_COW and SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP.
|
|
NB: SOCKET_SEND_COW uses the VM page based copy-on-write
|
|
mechanism which is not safe and may result in kernel crashes.
|
|
NB: The SOCKET_RECV_PFLIP mechanism is useless as no current
|
|
driver supports disposeable external page sized mbuf storage.
|
|
Proper replacements for both zero-copy mechanisms are under
|
|
consideration and will eventually lead to complete removal
|
|
of the two kernel options.
|
|
|
|
20121023:
|
|
The IPv4 network stack has been converted to network byte
|
|
order. The following modules need to be recompiled together
|
|
with kernel: carp(4), divert(4), gif(4), siftr(4), gre(4),
|
|
pf(4), ipfw(4), ng_ipfw(4), stf(4).
|
|
|
|
20121022:
|
|
Support for non-MPSAFE filesystems was removed from VFS. The
|
|
VFS_VERSION was bumped, all filesystem modules shall be
|
|
recompiled.
|
|
|
|
20121018:
|
|
All the non-MPSAFE filesystems have been disconnected from
|
|
the build. The full list includes: codafs, hpfs, ntfs, nwfs,
|
|
portalfs, smbfs, xfs.
|
|
|
|
20121016:
|
|
The interface cloning API and ABI has changed. The following
|
|
modules need to be recompiled together with kernel:
|
|
ipfw(4), pfsync(4), pflog(4), usb(4), wlan(4), stf(4),
|
|
vlan(4), disc(4), edsc(4), if_bridge(4), gif(4), tap(4),
|
|
faith(4), epair(4), enc(4), tun(4), if_lagg(4), gre(4).
|
|
|
|
20121015:
|
|
The sdhci driver was split in two parts: sdhci (generic SD Host
|
|
Controller logic) and sdhci_pci (actual hardware driver).
|
|
No kernel config modifications are required, but if you
|
|
load sdhc as a module you must switch to sdhci_pci instead.
|
|
|
|
20121014:
|
|
Import the FUSE kernel and userland support into base system.
|
|
|
|
20121013:
|
|
The GNU sort(1) program has been removed since the BSD-licensed
|
|
sort(1) has been the default for quite some time and no serious
|
|
problems have been reported. The corresponding WITH_GNU_SORT
|
|
knob has also gone.
|
|
|
|
20121006:
|
|
The pfil(9) API/ABI for AF_INET family has been changed. Packet
|
|
filtering modules: pf(4), ipfw(4), ipfilter(4) need to be recompiled
|
|
with new kernel.
|
|
|
|
20121001:
|
|
The net80211(4) ABI has been changed to allow for improved driver
|
|
PS-POLL and power-save support. All wireless drivers need to be
|
|
recompiled to work with the new kernel.
|
|
|
|
20120913:
|
|
The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
|
|
generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
|
|
Add the padlock_rng device in the custom kernel config if
|
|
needed. The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
|
|
device, so the change only affects the custom kernel
|
|
configurations.
|
|
|
|
20120908:
|
|
The pf(4) packet filter ABI has been changed. pfctl(8) and
|
|
snmp_pf module need to be recompiled to work with new kernel.
|
|
|
|
20120828:
|
|
A new ZFS feature flag "com.delphix:empty_bpobj" has been merged
|
|
to -HEAD. Pools that have empty_bpobj in active state can not be
|
|
imported read-write with ZFS implementations that do not support
|
|
this feature. For more information read the zpool-features(5)
|
|
manual page.
|
|
|
|
20120727:
|
|
The sparc64 ZFS loader has been changed to no longer try to auto-
|
|
detect ZFS providers based on diskN aliases but now requires these
|
|
to be explicitly listed in the OFW boot-device environment variable.
|
|
|
|
20120712:
|
|
The OpenSSL has been upgraded to 1.0.1c. Any binaries requiring
|
|
libcrypto.so.6 or libssl.so.6 must be recompiled. Also, there are
|
|
configuration changes. Make sure to merge /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf.
|
|
|
|
20120712:
|
|
The following sysctls and tunables have been renamed for consistency
|
|
with other variables:
|
|
kern.cam.da.da_send_ordered -> kern.cam.da.send_ordered
|
|
kern.cam.ada.ada_send_ordered -> kern.cam.ada.send_ordered
|
|
|
|
20120628:
|
|
The sort utility has been replaced with BSD sort. For now, GNU sort
|
|
is also available as "gnusort" or the default can be set back to
|
|
GNU sort by setting WITH_GNU_SORT. In this case, BSD sort will be
|
|
installed as "bsdsort".
|
|
|
|
20120611:
|
|
A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged to -HEAD.
|
|
Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
|
|
is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
|
|
compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
|
|
pools. The first read-only compatible "feature flag" for ZFS pools
|
|
is named "com.delphix:async_destroy". For more information
|
|
read the new zpool-features(5) manual page.
|
|
Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
|
|
on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
|
|
|
|
20120417:
|
|
The malloc(3) implementation embedded in libc now uses sources imported
|
|
as contrib/jemalloc. The most disruptive API change is to
|
|
/etc/malloc.conf. If your system has an old-style /etc/malloc.conf,
|
|
delete it prior to installworld, and optionally re-create it using the
|
|
new format after rebooting. See malloc.conf(5) for details
|
|
(specifically the TUNING section and the "opt.*" entries in the MALLCTL
|
|
NAMESPACE section).
|
|
|
|
20120328:
|
|
Big-endian MIPS TARGET_ARCH values no longer end in "eb". mips64eb
|
|
is now spelled mips64. mipsn32eb is now spelled mipsn32. mipseb is
|
|
now spelled mips. This is to aid compatibility with third-party
|
|
software that expects this naming scheme in uname(3). Little-endian
|
|
settings are unchanged. If you are updating a big-endian mips64 machine
|
|
from before this change, you may need to set MACHINE_ARCH=mips64 in
|
|
your environment before the new build system will recognize your machine.
|
|
|
|
20120306:
|
|
Disable by default the option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE for all supported
|
|
platforms.
|
|
|
|
20120229:
|
|
Now unix domain sockets behave "as expected" on nullfs(5). Previously
|
|
nullfs(5) did not pass through all behaviours to the underlying layer,
|
|
as a result if we bound to a socket on the lower layer we could connect
|
|
only to the lower path; if we bound to the upper layer we could connect
|
|
only to the upper path. The new behavior is one can connect to both the
|
|
lower and the upper paths regardless what layer path one binds to.
|
|
|
|
20120211:
|
|
The getifaddrs upgrade path broken with 20111215 has been restored.
|
|
If you have upgraded in between 20111215 and 20120209 you need to
|
|
recompile libc again with your kernel. You still need to recompile
|
|
world to be able to configure CARP but this restriction already
|
|
comes from 20111215.
|
|
|
|
20120114:
|
|
The set_rcvar() function has been removed from /etc/rc.subr. All
|
|
base and ports rc.d scripts have been updated, so if you have a
|
|
port installed with a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d you can either
|
|
hand-edit the rcvar= line, or reinstall the port.
|
|
|
|
An easy way to handle the mass-update of /etc/rc.d:
|
|
rm /etc/rc.d/* && mergemaster -i
|
|
|
|
20120109:
|
|
panic(9) now stops other CPUs in the SMP systems, disables interrupts
|
|
on the current CPU and prevents other threads from running.
|
|
This behavior can be reverted using the kern.stop_scheduler_on_panic
|
|
tunable/sysctl.
|
|
The new behavior can be incompatible with kern.sync_on_panic.
|
|
|
|
20111215:
|
|
The carp(4) facility has been changed significantly. Configuration
|
|
of the CARP protocol via ifconfig(8) has changed, as well as format
|
|
of CARP events submitted to devd(8) has changed. See manual pages
|
|
for more information. The arpbalance feature of carp(4) is currently
|
|
not supported anymore.
|
|
|
|
Size of struct in_aliasreq, struct in6_aliasreq has changed. User
|
|
utilities using SIOCAIFADDR, SIOCAIFADDR_IN6, e.g. ifconfig(8),
|
|
need to be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
20111122:
|
|
The acpi_wmi(4) status device /dev/wmistat has been renamed to
|
|
/dev/wmistat0.
|
|
|
|
20111108:
|
|
The option VFS_ALLOW_NONMPSAFE option has been added in order to
|
|
explicitely support non-MPSAFE filesystems.
|
|
It is on by default for all supported platform at this present
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
20111101:
|
|
The broken amd(4) driver has been replaced with esp(4) in the amd64,
|
|
i386 and pc98 GENERIC kernel configuration files.
|
|
|
|
20110930:
|
|
sysinstall has been removed
|
|
|
|
20110923:
|
|
The stable/9 branch created in subversion. This corresponds to the
|
|
RELENG_9 branch in CVS.
|
|
|
|
20110913:
|
|
This commit modifies vfs_register() so that it uses a hash
|
|
calculation to set vfc_typenum, which is enabled by default.
|
|
The first time a system is booted after this change, the
|
|
vfc_typenum values will change for all file systems. The
|
|
main effect of this is a change to the NFS server file handles
|
|
for file systems that use vfc_typenum in their fsid, such as ZFS.
|
|
It will, however, prevent vfc_typenum from changing when file
|
|
systems are loaded in a different order for subsequent reboots.
|
|
To disable this, you can set vfs.typenumhash=0 in /boot/loader.conf
|
|
until you are ready to remount all NFS clients after a reboot.
|
|
|
|
20110828:
|
|
Bump the shared library version numbers for libraries that
|
|
do not use symbol versioning, have changed the ABI compared
|
|
to stable/8 and which shared library version was not bumped.
|
|
Done as part of 9.0-RELEASE cycle.
|
|
|
|
20110815:
|
|
During the merge of Capsicum features, the fget(9) KPI was modified.
|
|
This may require the rebuilding of out-of-tree device drivers --
|
|
issues have been reported specifically with the nVidia device driver.
|
|
__FreeBSD_version is bumped to 900041.
|
|
|
|
Also, there is a period between 20110811 and 20110814 where the
|
|
special devices /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} did not work correctly.
|
|
Building world from a kernel during that window may not work.
|
|
|
|
20110628:
|
|
The packet filter (pf) code has been updated to OpenBSD 4.5.
|
|
You need to update userland tools to be in sync with kernel.
|
|
This update breaks backward compatibility with earlier pfsync(4)
|
|
versions. Care must be taken when updating redundant firewall setups.
|
|
|
|
20110608:
|
|
The following sysctls and tunables are retired on x86 platforms:
|
|
machdep.hlt_cpus
|
|
machdep.hlt_logical_cpus
|
|
The following sysctl is retired:
|
|
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed
|
|
The sysctls were supposed to provide a way to dynamically offline and
|
|
online selected CPUs on x86 platforms, but the implementation has not
|
|
been reliable especially with SCHED_ULE scheduler.
|
|
machdep.hyperthreading_allowed tunable is still available to ignore
|
|
hyperthreading CPUs at OS level.
|
|
Individual CPUs can be disabled using hint.lapic.X.disabled tunable,
|
|
where X is an APIC ID of a CPU. Be advised, though, that disabling
|
|
CPUs in non-uniform fashion will result in non-uniform topology and
|
|
may lead to sub-optimal system performance with SCHED_ULE, which is
|
|
a default scheduler.
|
|
|
|
20110607:
|
|
cpumask_t type is retired and cpuset_t is used in order to describe
|
|
a mask of CPUs.
|
|
|
|
20110531:
|
|
Changes to ifconfig(8) for dynamic address family detection mandate
|
|
that you are running a kernel of 20110525 or later. Make sure to
|
|
follow the update procedure to boot a new kernel before installing
|
|
world.
|
|
|
|
20110513:
|
|
Support for sun4v architecture is officially dropped
|
|
|
|
20110503:
|
|
Several KPI breaking changes have been committed to the mii(4) layer,
|
|
the PHY drivers and consequently some Ethernet drivers using mii(4).
|
|
This means that miibus.ko and the modules of the affected Ethernet
|
|
drivers need to be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
Note to kernel developers: Given that the OUI bit reversion problem
|
|
was fixed as part of these changes all mii(4) commits related to OUIs,
|
|
i.e. to sys/dev/mii/miidevs, PHY driver probing and vendor specific
|
|
handling, no longer can be merged verbatim to stable/8 and previous
|
|
branches.
|
|
|
|
20110430:
|
|
Users of the Atheros AR71xx SoC code now need to add 'device ar71xx_pci'
|
|
into their kernel configurations along with 'device pci'.
|
|
|
|
20110427:
|
|
The default NFS client is now the new NFS client, so fstype "newnfs"
|
|
is now "nfs" and the regular/old NFS client is now fstype "oldnfs".
|
|
Although mounts via fstype "nfs" will usually work without userland
|
|
changes, it is recommended that the mount(8) and mount_nfs(8)
|
|
commands be rebuilt from sources and that a link to mount_nfs called
|
|
mount_oldnfs be created. The new client is compiled into the
|
|
kernel with "options NFSCL" and this is needed for diskless root
|
|
file systems. The GENERIC kernel configs have been changed to use
|
|
NFSCL and NFSD (the new server) instead of NFSCLIENT and NFSSERVER.
|
|
To use the regular/old client, you can "mount -t oldnfs ...". For
|
|
a diskless root file system, you must also include a line like:
|
|
|
|
vfs.root.mountfrom="oldnfs:"
|
|
|
|
in the boot/loader.conf on the root fs on the NFS server to make
|
|
a diskless root fs use the old client.
|
|
|
|
20110424:
|
|
The GENERIC kernels for all architectures now default to the new
|
|
CAM-based ATA stack. It means that all legacy ATA drivers were
|
|
removed and replaced by respective CAM drivers. If you are using
|
|
ATA device names in /etc/fstab or other places, make sure to update
|
|
them respectively (adX -> adaY, acdX -> cdY, afdX -> daY, astX -> saY,
|
|
where 'Y's are the sequential numbers starting from zero for each type
|
|
in order of detection, unless configured otherwise with tunables,
|
|
see cam(4)). There will be symbolic links created in /dev/ to map
|
|
old adX devices to the respective adaY. They should provide basic
|
|
compatibility for file systems mounting in most cases, but they do
|
|
not support old user-level APIs and do not have respective providers
|
|
in GEOM. Consider using updated management tools with new device names.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to load devices ahci, ata, siis and mvs as modules,
|
|
but option ATA_CAM should remain in kernel configuration to make ata
|
|
module work as CAM driver supporting legacy ATA controllers. Device ata
|
|
still can be used in modular fashion (atacore + ...). Modules atadisk
|
|
and atapi* are not used and won't affect operation in ATA_CAM mode.
|
|
Note that to use CAM-based ATA kernel should include CAM devices
|
|
scbus, pass, da (or explicitly ada), cd and optionally others. All of
|
|
them are parts of the cam module.
|
|
|
|
ataraid(4) functionality is now supported by the RAID GEOM class.
|
|
To use it you can load geom_raid kernel module and use graid(8) tool
|
|
for management. Instead of /dev/arX device names, use /dev/raid/rX.
|
|
|
|
No kernel config options or code have been removed, so if a problem
|
|
arises, please report it and optionally revert to the old ATA stack.
|
|
In order to do it you can remove from the kernel config:
|
|
options ATA_CAM
|
|
device ahci
|
|
device mvs
|
|
device siis
|
|
, and instead add back:
|
|
device atadisk # ATA disk drives
|
|
device ataraid # ATA RAID drives
|
|
device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives
|
|
device atapifd # ATAPI floppy drives
|
|
device atapist # ATAPI tape drives
|
|
|
|
20110423:
|
|
The default NFS server has been changed to the new server, which
|
|
was referred to as the experimental server. If you need to switch
|
|
back to the old NFS server, you must now put the "-o" option on
|
|
both the mountd and nfsd commands. This can be done using the
|
|
mountd_flags and nfs_server_flags rc.conf variables until an
|
|
update to the rc scripts is committed, which is coming soon.
|
|
|
|
20110418:
|
|
The GNU Objective-C runtime library (libobjc), and other Objective-C
|
|
related components have been removed from the base system. If you
|
|
require an Objective-C library, please use one of the available ports.
|
|
|
|
20110331:
|
|
ath(4) has been split into bus- and device- modules. if_ath contains
|
|
the HAL, the TX rate control and the network device code. if_ath_pci
|
|
contains the PCI bus glue. For Atheros MIPS embedded systems, if_ath_ahb
|
|
contains the AHB glue. Users need to load both if_ath_pci and if_ath
|
|
in order to use ath on everything else.
|
|
|
|
TO REPEAT: if_ath_ahb is not needed for normal users. Normal users only
|
|
need to load if_ath and if_ath_pci for ath(4) operation.
|
|
|
|
20110314:
|
|
As part of the replacement of sysinstall, the process of building
|
|
release media has changed significantly. For details, please re-read
|
|
release(7), which has been updated to reflect the new build process.
|
|
|
|
20110218:
|
|
GNU binutils 2.17.50 (as of 2007-07-03) has been merged to -HEAD. This
|
|
is the last available version under GPLv2. It brings a number of new
|
|
features, such as support for newer x86 CPU's (with SSE-3, SSSE-3, SSE
|
|
4.1 and SSE 4.2), better support for powerpc64, a number of new
|
|
directives, and lots of other small improvements. See the ChangeLog
|
|
file in contrib/binutils for the full details.
|
|
|
|
20110218:
|
|
IPsec's HMAC_SHA256-512 support has been fixed to be RFC4868
|
|
compliant, and will now use half of hash for authentication.
|
|
This will break interoperability with all stacks (including all
|
|
actual FreeBSD versions) who implement
|
|
draft-ietf-ipsec-ciph-sha-256-00 (they use 96 bits of hash for
|
|
authentication).
|
|
The only workaround with such peers is to use another HMAC
|
|
algorithm for IPsec ("phase 2") authentication.
|
|
|
|
20110207:
|
|
Remove the uio_yield prototype and symbol. This function has
|
|
been misnamed since it was introduced and should not be
|
|
globally exposed with this name. The equivalent functionality
|
|
is now available using kern_yield(curthread->td_user_pri).
|
|
The function remains undocumented.
|
|
|
|
20110112:
|
|
A SYSCTL_[ADD_]UQUAD was added for unsigned uint64_t pointers,
|
|
symmetric with the existing SYSCTL_[ADD_]QUAD. Type checking
|
|
for scalar sysctls is defined but disabled. Code that needs
|
|
UQUAD to pass the type checking that must compile on older
|
|
systems where the define is not present can check against
|
|
__FreeBSD_version >= 900030.
|
|
|
|
The system dialog(1) has been replaced with a new version previously
|
|
in ports as devel/cdialog. dialog(1) is mostly command-line compatible
|
|
with the previous version, but the libdialog associated with it has
|
|
a largely incompatible API. As such, the original version of libdialog
|
|
will be kept temporarily as libodialog, until its base system consumers
|
|
are replaced or updated. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900030.
|
|
|

|
If you are trying to run make universe on a -stable system, and you get
|
|
the following warning:
|
|
"Makefile", line 356: "Target architecture for i386/conf/GENERIC
|
|
unknown. config(8) likely too old."
|
|
or something similar to it, then you must upgrade your -stable system
|
|
to 8.2-Release or newer (really, any time after r210146 7/15/2010 in
|
|
stable/8) or build the config from the latest stable/8 branch and
|
|
install it on your system.
|
|
|
|
Prior to this date, building a current universe on 8-stable system from
|
|
between 7/15/2010 and 1/2/2011 would result in a weird shell parsing
|
|
error in the first kernel build phase. A new config on those old
|
|
systems will fix that problem for older versions of -current.
|
|

20101228:
|
|
The TCP stack has been modified to allow Khelp modules to interact with
|
|
it via helper hook points and store per-connection data in the TCP
|
|
control block. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900029. User space tools that
|
|
rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to
|
|
be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
20101114:
|
|
Generic IEEE 802.3 annex 31B full duplex flow control support has been
|
|
added to mii(4) and bge(4), bce(4), msk(4), nfe(4) and stge(4) along
|
|
with brgphy(4), e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy() have been converted
|
|
to take advantage of it instead of using custom implementations. This
|
|
means that these drivers now no longer unconditionally advertise
|
|
support for flow control but only do so if flow control is a selected
|
|
media option. This was implemented in the generic support that way in
|
|
order to allow flow control to be switched on and off via ifconfig(8)
|
|
with the PHY specific default to typically off in order to protect
|
|
from unwanted effects. Consequently, if you used flow control with
|
|
one of the above mentioned drivers you now need to explicitly enable
|
|
it, for example via:
|
|
ifconfig bge0 media auto mediaopt flowcontrol
|
|
|
|
Along with the above mentioned changes generic support for setting
|
|
1000baseT master mode also has been added and brgphy(4), ciphy(4),
|
|
e1000phy(4) as well as ip1000phy(4) have been converted to take
|
|
advantage of it. This means that these drivers now no longer take the
|
|
link0 parameter for selecting master mode but the master media option
|
|
has to be used instead, for example like in the following:
|
|
ifconfig bge0 media 1000baseT mediaopt full-duplex,master
|
|
|
|
Selection of master mode now is also available with all other PHY
|
|
drivers supporting 1000baseT.

|
|
The TCP stack has received a significant update to add support for
|
|
modularised congestion control and generally improve the clarity of
|
|
congestion control decisions. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900025. User
|
|
space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in tcp_var.h (e.g.
|
|
sockstat) need to be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
20101002:
|
|
The man(1) utility has been replaced by a new version that no longer
|
|
uses /etc/manpath.config. Please consult man.conf(5) for how to
|
|
migrate local entries to the new format.
|
|
|
|
20100928:
|
|
The copyright strings printed by login(1) and sshd(8) at the time of a
|
|
new connection have been removed to follow other operating systems and
|
|
upstream sshd.
|
|
|
|
20100915:
|
|
A workaround for a fixed ld bug has been removed in kernel code,
|
|
so make sure that your system ld is built from sources after
|
|
revision 210245 from 2010-07-19 (r211583 if building head kernel
|
|
on stable/8, r211584 for stable/7; both from 2010-08-21).
|
|
A symptom of incorrect ld version is different addresses for
|
|
set_pcpu section and __start_set_pcpu symbol in kernel and/or modules.
|
|
|
|
20100913:
|
|
The $ipv6_prefer variable in rc.conf(5) has been split into
|
|
$ip6addrctl_policy and $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces.
|
|
|
|
The $ip6addrctl_policy is a variable to choose a pre-defined
|
|
address selection policy set by ip6addrctl(8). A value
|
|
"ipv4_prefer", "ipv6_prefer" or "AUTO" can be specified. The
|
|
default is "AUTO".
|
|
|
|
The $ipv6_activate_all_interfaces specifies whether IFDISABLED
|
|
flag (see an entry of 20090926) is set on an interface with no
|
|
corresponding $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 line. The default is "NO" for
|
|
security reason. If you want IPv6 link-local address on all
|
|
interfaces by default, set this to "YES".
|
|
|
|
The old ipv6_prefer="YES" is equivalent to
|
|
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES" and
|
|
ip6addrctl_policy="ipv6_prefer".
|
|
|
|
20100913:
|
|
DTrace has grown support for userland tracing. Due to this, DTrace is
|
|
now i386 and amd64 only.
|
|
dtruss(1) is now installed by default on those systems and a new
|
|
kernel module is needed for userland tracing: fasttrap.
|
|
No changes to your kernel config file are necessary to enable
|
|
userland tracing, but you might consider adding 'STRIP=' and
|
|
'CFLAGS+=-fno-omit-frame-pointer' to your make.conf if you want
|
|
to have informative userland stack traces in DTrace (ustack).
|
|
|
|
20100725:
|
|
The acpi_aiboost(4) driver has been removed in favor of the new
|
|
aibs(4) driver. You should update your kernel configuration file.
|
|
|
|
20100722:
|
|
BSD grep has been imported to the base system and it is built by
|
|
default. It is completely BSD licensed, highly GNU-compatible, uses
|
|
less memory than its GNU counterpart and has a small codebase.
|
|
However, it is slower than its GNU counterpart, which is mostly
|
|
noticeable for larger searches, for smaller ones it is measurable
|
|
but not significant. The reason is complex, the most important factor
|
|
is that we lack a modern and efficient regex library and GNU
|
|
overcomes this by optimizing the searches internally. Future work
|
|
on improving the regex performance is planned, for the meantime,
|
|
users that need better performance, can build GNU grep instead by
|
|
setting the WITH_GNU_GREP knob.
|
|
|
|
20100713:
|
|
Due to the import of powerpc64 support, all existing powerpc kernel
|
|
configuration files must be updated with a machine directive like this:
|
|
machine powerpc powerpc
|
|
|
|
In addition, an updated config(8) is required to build powerpc kernels
|
|
after this change.
|
|
|
|
20100713:
|
|
A new version of ZFS (version 15) has been merged to -HEAD.
|
|
This version uses a python library for the following subcommands:
|
|
zfs allow, zfs unallow, zfs groupspace, zfs userspace.
|
|
For full functionality of these commands the following port must
|
|
be installed: sysutils/py-zfs
|
|
|
|
20100429:
|
|
'vm_page's are now hashed by physical address to an array of mutexes.
|
|
Currently this is only used to serialize access to hold_count. Over
|
|
time the page queue mutex will be peeled away. This changes the size
|
|
of pmap on every architecture. And requires all callers of vm_page_hold
|
|
and vm_page_unhold to be updated.
|
|
|
|
20100402:
|
|
WITH_CTF can now be specified in src.conf (not recommended, there
|
|
are some problems with static executables), make.conf (would also
|
|
affect ports which do not use GNU make and do not override the
|
|
compile targets) or in the kernel config (via "makeoptions
|
|
WITH_CTF=yes").
|
|
When WITH_CTF was specified there before this was silently ignored,
|
|
so make sure that WITH_CTF is not used in places which could lead
|
|
to unwanted behavior.
|
|
|
|
20100311:
|
|
The kernel option COMPAT_IA32 has been replaced with COMPAT_FREEBSD32
|
|
to allow 32-bit compatibility on non-x86 platforms. All kernel
|
|
configurations on amd64 and ia64 platforms using these options must
|
|
be modified accordingly.
|
|
|
|
20100113:
|
|
The utmp user accounting database has been replaced with utmpx,
|
|
the user accounting interface standardized by POSIX.
|
|
Unfortunately the semantics of utmp and utmpx don't match,
|
|
making it practically impossible to support both interfaces.
|
|
The user accounting database is used by tools like finger(1),
|
|
last(1), talk(1), w(1) and ac(8).
|
|
|
|
All applications in the base system use utmpx. This means only
|
|
local binaries (e.g. from the ports tree) may still use these
|
|
utmp database files. These applications must be rebuilt to make
|
|
use of utmpx.
|
|
|
|
After the system has been upgraded, it is safe to remove the old
|
|
log files (/var/run/utmp, /var/log/lastlog and /var/log/wtmp*),
|
|
assuming their contents is of no importance anymore. Old wtmp
|
|
databases can only be used by last(1) and ac(8) after they have
|
|
been converted to the new format using wtmpcvt(1).
|
|
|
|
20100108:
|
|
Introduce the kernel thread "deadlock resolver" (which can be enabled
|
|
via the DEADLKRES option, see NOTES for more details) and the
|
|
sleepq_type() function for sleepqueues.
|
|
|
|
20091202:
|
|
The rc.firewall and rc.firewall6 were unified, and
|
|
rc.firewall6 and rc.d/ip6fw were removed.
|
|
According to the removal of rc.d/ip6fw, ipv6_firewall_* rc
|
|
variables are obsoleted. Instead, the following new rc
|
|
variables are added to rc.d/ipfw:
|
|
|
|
firewall_client_net_ipv6, firewall_simple_iif_ipv6,
|
|
firewall_simple_inet_ipv6, firewall_simple_oif_ipv6,
|
|
firewall_simple_onet_ipv6, firewall_trusted_ipv6
|
|
|
|
The meanings correspond to the relevant IPv4 variables.
|
|
|
|
20091125:
|
|
8.0-RELEASE.
|
|
|
|
20091113:
|
|
The default terminal emulation for syscons(4) has been changed
|
|
from cons25 to xterm on all platforms except pc98. This means
|
|
that the /etc/ttys file needs to be updated to ensure correct
|
|
operation of applications on the console.
|
|
|
|
The terminal emulation style can be toggled per window by using
|
|
vidcontrol(1)'s -T flag. The TEKEN_CONS25 kernel configuration
|
|
options can be used to change the compile-time default back to
|
|
cons25.
|
|
|
|
To prevent graphical artifacts, make sure the TERM environment
|
|
variable is set to match the terminal emulation that is being
|
|
performed by syscons(4).
|
|
|
|
20091109:
|
|
The layout of the structure ieee80211req_scan_result has changed.
|
|
Applications that require wireless scan results (e.g. ifconfig(8))
|
|
from net80211 need to be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
Applications such as wpa_supplicant(8) may require a full world
|
|
build without using NO_CLEAN in order to get synchronized with the
|
|
new structure.
|
|
|
|
20091025:
|
|
The iwn(4) driver has been updated to support the 5000 and 5150 series.
|
|
There's one kernel module for each firmware. Adding "device iwnfw"
|
|
to the kernel configuration file means including all three firmware
|
|
images inside the kernel. If you want to include just the one for
|
|
your wireless card, use the devices iwn4965fw, iwn5000fw or
|
|
iwn5150fw.
|
|
|
|
20090926:
|
|
The rc.d/network_ipv6, IPv6 configuration script has been integrated
|
|
into rc.d/netif. The changes are the following:
|
|
|
|
1. To use IPv6, simply define $ifconfig_IF_ipv6 like $ifconfig_IF
|
|
for IPv4. For aliases, $ifconfig_IF_aliasN should be used.
|
|
Note that both variables need the "inet6" keyword at the head.
|
|
|
|
Do not set $ipv6_network_interfaces manually if you do not
|
|
understand what you are doing. It is not needed in most cases.
|
|
|
|
$ipv6_ifconfig_IF and $ipv6_ifconfig_IF_aliasN still work, but
|
|
they are obsolete.
|
|
|
|
2. $ipv6_enable is obsolete. Use $ipv6_prefer and
|
|
"inet6 accept_rtadv" keyword in ifconfig(8) instead.
|
|
|
|
If you define $ipv6_enable=YES, it means $ipv6_prefer=YES and
|
|
all configured interfaces have "inet6 accept_rtadv" in the
|
|
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6. These are for backward compatibility.
|
|
|
|
3. A new variable $ipv6_prefer has been added. If NO, IPv6
|
|
functionality of interfaces with no corresponding
|
|
$ifconfig_IF_ipv6 is disabled by using "inet6 ifdisabled" flag,
|
|
and the default address selection policy of ip6addrctl(8)
|
|
is the IPv4-preferred one (see rc.d/ip6addrctl for more details).
|
|
Note that if you want to configure IPv6 functionality on the
|
|
disabled interfaces after boot, first you need to clear the flag by
|
|
using ifconfig(8) like:
|
|
|
|
ifconfig em0 inet6 -ifdisabled
|
|
|
|
If YES, the default address selection policy is set as
|
|
IPv6-preferred.
|
|
|
|
The default value of $ipv6_prefer is NO.
|
|
|
|
4. If your system need to receive Router Advertisement messages,
|
|
define "inet6 accept_rtadv" in $ifconfig_IF_ipv6. The rc(8)
|
|
scripts automatically invoke rtsol(8) when the interface becomes
|
|
UP. The Router Advertisement messages are used for SLAAC
|
|
(State-Less Address AutoConfiguration).
|
|
|
|
20090922:
|
|
802.11s D3.03 support was committed. This is incompatible with the
|
|
previous code, which was based on D3.0.
|
|
|
|
20090912:
|
|
A sysctl variable net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv now sets the default value
|
|
of a per-interface flag ND6_IFF_ACCEPT_RTADV, not a global knob to
|
|
control whether accepting Router Advertisement messages or not.
|
|
Also, a per-interface flag ND6_IFF_AUTO_LINKLOCAL has been added and
|
|
a sysctl variable net.inet6.ip6.auto_linklocal is its default value.
|
|
The ifconfig(8) utility now supports these flags.
|
|
|
|
20090910:
|
|
ZFS snapshots are now mounted with MNT_IGNORE flag. Use -v option for
|
|
mount(8) and -a option for df(1) to see them.
|
|
|
|
20090825:
|
|
The old tunable hw.bus.devctl_disable has been superseded by
|
|
hw.bus.devctl_queue. hw.bus.devctl_disable=1 in loader.conf should be
|
|
replaced by hw.bus.devctl_queue=0. The default for this new tunable
|
|
is 1000.
|
|
|
|
20090813:
|
|
Remove the option STOP_NMI. The default action is now to use NMI only
|
|
for KDB via the newly introduced function stop_cpus_hard() and
|
|
maintain stop_cpus() to just use a normal IPI_STOP on ia32 and amd64.
|
|
|
|
20090803:
|
|
The stable/8 branch created in subversion. This corresponds to the
|
|
RELENG_8 branch in CVS.
|
|
|
|
20090719:
|
|
Bump the shared library version numbers for all libraries that do not
|
|
use symbol versioning as part of the 8.0-RELEASE cycle. Bump
|
|
__FreeBSD_version to 800105.
|
|
|
|
20090714:
|
|
Due to changes in the implementation of virtual network stack support,
|
|
all network-related kernel modules must be recompiled. As this change
|
|
breaks the ABI, bump __FreeBSD_version to 800104.
|
|
|
|
20090713:
|
|
The TOE interface to the TCP syncache has been modified to remove
|
|
struct tcpopt (<netinet/tcp_var.h>) from the ABI of the network stack.
|
|
The cxgb driver is the only TOE consumer affected by this change, and
|
|
needs to be recompiled along with the kernel. As this change breaks
|
|
the ABI, bump __FreeBSD_version to 800103.
|
|
|
|
20090712:
|
|
Padding has been added to struct tcpcb, sackhint and tcpstat in
|
|
<netinet/tcp_var.h> to facilitate future MFCs and bug fixes whilst
|
|
maintaining the ABI. However, this change breaks the ABI, so bump
|
|
__FreeBSD_version to 800102. User space tools that rely on the size of
|
|
any of these structs (e.g. sockstat) need to be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
20090630:
|
|
The NFS_LEGACYRPC option has been removed along with the old kernel
|
|
RPC implementation that this option selected. Kernel configurations
|
|
may need to be adjusted.
|
|
|
|
20090629:
|
|
The network interface device nodes at /dev/net/<interface> have been
|
|
removed. All ioctl operations can be performed the normal way using
|
|
routing sockets. The kqueue functionality can generally be replaced
|
|
with routing sockets.
|
|
|
|
20090628:
|
|
The documentation from the FreeBSD Documentation Project (Handbook,
|
|
FAQ, etc.) is now installed via packages by sysinstall(8) and under
|
|
the /usr/local/share/doc/freebsd directory instead of /usr/share/doc.
|
|
|
|
20090624:
|
|
The ABI of various structures related to the SYSV IPC API have been
|
|
changed. As a result, the COMPAT_FREEBSD[456] and COMPAT_43 kernel
|
|
options now all require COMPAT_FREEBSD7. Bump __FreeBSD_version to
|
|
800100.
|
|
|
|
20090622:
|
|
Layout of struct vnet has changed as routing related variables were
|
|
moved to their own Vimage module. Modules need to be recompiled. Bump
|
|
__FreeBSD_version to 800099.
|
|
|
|
20090619:
|
|
NGROUPS_MAX and NGROUPS have been increased from 16 to 1023 and 1024
|
|
respectively. As long as no more than 16 groups per process are used,
|
|
no changes should be visible. When more than 16 groups are used, old
|
|
binaries may fail if they call getgroups() or getgrouplist() with
|
|
statically sized storage. Recompiling will work around this, but
|
|
applications should be modified to use dynamically allocated storage
|
|
for group arrays as POSIX.1-2008 does not cap an implementation's
|
|
number of supported groups at NGROUPS_MAX+1 as previous versions did.
|
|
|
|
NFS and portalfs mounts may also be affected as the list of groups is
|
|
truncated to 16. Users of NFS who use more than 16 groups, should
|
|
take care that negative group permissions are not used on the exported
|
|
file systems as they will not be reliable unless a GSSAPI based
|
|
authentication method is used.
|
|
|
|
20090616:
|
|
The compiling option ADAPTIVE_LOCKMGRS has been introduced. This
|
|
option compiles in the support for adaptive spinning for lockmgrs
|
|
which want to enable it. The lockinit() function now accepts the flag
|
|
LK_ADAPTIVE in order to make the lock object subject to adaptive
|
|
spinning when both held in write and read mode.
|
|
|
|
20090613:
|
|
The layout of the structure returned by IEEE80211_IOC_STA_INFO has
|
|
changed. User applications that use this ioctl need to be rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
20090611:
|
|
The layout of struct thread has changed. Kernel and modules need to
|
|
be rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
20090608:
|
|
The layout of structs ifnet, domain, protosw and vnet_net has changed.
|
|
Kernel modules need to be rebuilt. Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800097.
|
|
|
|
20090602:
|
|
window(1) has been removed from the base system. It can now be
|
|
installed from ports. The port is called misc/window.
|
|
|
|
20090601:
|
|
The way we are storing and accessing `routing table' entries has
|
|
changed. Programs reading the FIB, like netstat, need to be
|
|
re-compiled.
|
|
|
|
20090601:
|
|
A new netisr implementation has been added for FreeBSD 8. Network
|
|
file system modules, such as igmp, ipdivert, and others, should be
|
|
rebuilt.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800096.
|
|
|
|
20090530:
|
|
Remove the tunable/sysctl debug.mpsafevfs as its initial purpose is no
|
|
more valid.
|
|
|
|
20090530:
|
|
Add VOP_ACCESSX(9). File system modules need to be rebuilt.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800094.
|
|
|
|
20090529:
|
|
Add mnt_xflag field to 'struct mount'. File system modules need to be
|
|
rebuilt.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800093.
|
|
|
|
20090528:
|
|
The compiling option ADAPTIVE_SX has been retired while it has been
|
|
introduced the option NO_ADAPTIVE_SX which handles the reversed logic.
|
|
The KPI for sx_init_flags() changes as accepting flags:
|
|
SX_ADAPTIVESPIN flag has been retired while the SX_NOADAPTIVE flag has
|
|
been introduced in order to handle the reversed logic.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800092.
|
|
|
|
20090527:
|
|
Add support for hierarchical jails. Remove global securelevel.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800091.
|
|
|
|
20090523:
|
|
The layout of struct vnet_net has changed, therefore modules
|
|
need to be rebuilt.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800090.
|
|
|
|
20090523:
|
|
The newly imported zic(8) produces a new format in the output. Please
|
|
run tzsetup(8) to install the newly created data to /etc/localtime.
|
|
|
|
20090520:
|
|
The sysctl tree for the usb stack has renamed from hw.usb2.* to
|
|
hw.usb.* and is now consistent again with previous releases.
|
|
|
|
20090520:
|
|
802.11 monitor mode support was revised and driver api's were changed.
|
|
Drivers dependent on net80211 now support DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO instead
|
|
of DLT_IEEE802_11. No user-visible data structures were changed but
|
|
applications that use DLT_IEEE802_11 may require changes.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800088.
|
|
|
|
20090430:
|
|
The layout of the following structs has changed: sysctl_oid,
|
|
socket, ifnet, inpcbinfo, tcpcb, syncache_head, vnet_inet,
|
|
vnet_inet6 and vnet_ipfw. Most modules need to be rebuild or
|
|
panics may be experienced. World rebuild is required for
|
|
correctly checking networking state from userland.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800085.
|
|
|
|
20090429:
|
|
MLDv2 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged
|
|
to the IPv6 stack. VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used.
|
|
The implementation of SSM within FreeBSD's IPv6 stack closely
|
|
follows the IPv4 implementation.
|
|
|
|
For kernel developers:
|
|
|
|
* The most important changes are that the ip6_output() and
|
|
ip6_input() paths no longer take the IN6_MULTI_LOCK,
|
|
and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex.
|
|
|
|
* As with the changes to the IPv4 stack to support SSM, filtering
|
|
of inbound multicast traffic must now be performed by transport
|
|
protocols within the IPv6 stack. This does not apply to TCP and
|
|
SCTP, however, it does apply to UDP in IPv6 and raw IPv6.
|
|
|
|
* The KPIs used by IPv6 multicast are similar to those used by
|
|
the IPv4 stack, with the following differences:
|
|
* im6o_mc_filter() is analogous to imo_multicast_filter().
|
|
* The legacy KAME entry points in6_joingroup and in6_leavegroup()
|
|
are shimmed to in6_mc_join() and in6_mc_leave() respectively.
|
|
* IN6_LOOKUP_MULTI() has been deprecated and removed.
|
|
* IPv6 relies on MLD for the DAD mechanism. KAME's internal KPIs
|
|
for MLDv1 have an additional 'timer' argument which is used to
|
|
jitter the initial membership report for the solicited-node
|
|
multicast membership on-link.
|
|
* This is not strictly needed for MLDv2, which already jitters
|
|
its report transmissions. However, the 'timer' argument is
|
|
preserved in case MLDv1 is active on the interface.
|
|
|
|
* The KAME linked-list based IPv6 membership implementation has
|
|
been refactored to use a vector similar to that used by the IPv4
|
|
stack.
|
|
Code which maintains a list of its own multicast memberships
|
|
internally, e.g. carp, has been updated to reflect the new
|
|
semantics.
|
|
|
|
* There is a known Lock Order Reversal (LOR) due to in6_setscope()
|
|
acquiring the IF_AFDATA_LOCK and being called within ip6_output().
|
|
Whilst MLDv2 tries to avoid this otherwise benign LOR, it is an
|
|
implementation constraint which needs to be addressed in HEAD.
|
|
|
|
For application developers:
|
|
|
|
* The changes are broadly similar to those made for the IPv4
|
|
stack.
|
|
|
|
* The use of IPv4 and IPv6 multicast socket options on the same
|
|
socket, using mapped addresses, HAS NOT been tested or supported.
|
|
|
|
* There are a number of issues with the implementation of various
|
|
IPv6 multicast APIs which need to be resolved in the API surface
|
|
before the implementation is fully compatible with KAME userland
|
|
use, and these are mostly to do with interface index treatment.
|
|
|
|
* The literature available discusses the use of either the delta / ASM
|
|
API with setsockopt(2)/getsockopt(2), or the full-state / ASM API
|
|
using setsourcefilter(3)/getsourcefilter(3). For more information
|
|
please refer to RFC 3768, 'Socket Interface Extensions for
|
|
Multicast Source Filters'.
|
|
|
|
* Applications which use the published RFC 3678 APIs should be fine.
|
|
|
|
For systems administrators:
|
|
|
|
* The mtest(8) utility has been refactored to support IPv6, in
|
|
addition to IPv4. Interface addresses are no longer accepted
|
|
as arguments, their names must be used instead. The utility
|
|
will map the interface name to its first IPv4 address as
|
|
returned by getifaddrs(3).
|
|
|
|
* The ifmcstat(8) utility has also been updated to print the MLDv2
|
|
endpoint state and source filter lists via sysctl(3).
|
|
|
|
* The net.inet6.ip6.mcast.loop sysctl may be tuned to 0 to disable
|
|
loopback of IPv6 multicast datagrams by default; it defaults to 1
|
|
to preserve the existing behaviour. Disabling multicast loopback is
|
|
recommended for optimal system performance.
|
|
|
|
* The IPv6 MROUTING code has been changed to examine this sysctl
|
|
instead of attempting to perform a group lookup before looping
|
|
back forwarded datagrams.

Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800084.
|
|
|
|
20090422:
|
|
Implement low-level Bluetooth HCI API.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800083.
|
|
|
|
20090419:
|
|
The layout of struct malloc_type, used by modules to register new
|
|
memory allocation types, has changed. Most modules will need to
|
|
be rebuilt or panics may be experienced.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800081.
|
|
|
|
20090415:
|
|
Anticipate overflowing inp_flags - add inp_flags2.
|
|
This changes most offsets in inpcb, so checking v4 connection
|
|
state will require a world rebuild.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800080.
|
|
|
|
20090415:
|
|
Add an llentry to struct route and struct route_in6. Modules
|
|
embedding a struct route will need to be recompiled.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800079.
|
|
|
|
20090414:
|
|
The size of rt_metrics_lite and by extension rtentry has changed.
|
|
Networking administration apps will need to be recompiled.
|
|
The route command now supports show as an alias for get, weighting
|
|
of routes, sticky and nostick flags to alter the behavior of stateful
|
|
load balancing.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800078.
|
|
|
|
20090408:
|
|
Do not use Giant for kbdmux(4) locking. This is wrong and
|
|
apparently causing more problems than it solves. This will
|
|
re-open the issue where interrupt handlers may race with
|
|
kbdmux(4) in polling mode. Typical symptoms include (but
|
|
not limited to) duplicated and/or missing characters when
|
|
low level console functions (such as gets) are used while
|
|
interrupts are enabled (for example geli password prompt,
|
|
mountroot prompt etc.). Disabling kbdmux(4) may help.
|
|
|
|
20090407:
|
|
The size of structs vnet_net, vnet_inet and vnet_ipfw has changed;
|
|
kernel modules referencing any of the above need to be recompiled.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800075.
|
|
|
|
20090320:
|
|
GEOM_PART has become the default partition slicer for storage devices,
|
|
replacing GEOM_MBR, GEOM_BSD, GEOM_PC98 and GEOM_GPT slicers. It
|
|
introduces some changes:
|
|
|
|
MSDOS/EBR: the devices created from MSDOS extended partition entries
|
|
(EBR) can be named differently than with GEOM_MBR and are now symlinks
|
|
to devices with offset-based names. fstabs may need to be modified.
|
|
|
|
BSD: the "geometry does not match label" warning is harmless in most
|
|
cases but it points to problems in file system misalignment with
|
|
disk geometry. The "c" partition is now implicit, covers the whole
|
|
top-level drive and cannot be (mis)used by users.
|
|
|
|
General: Kernel dumps are now not allowed to be written to devices
|
|
whose partition types indicate they are meant to be used for file
|
|
systems (or, in case of MSDOS partitions, as something else than
|
|
the "386BSD" type).
|
|
|
|
Most of these changes date approximately from 200812.
|
|
|
|
20090319:
|
|
The uscanner(4) driver has been removed from the kernel. This follows
|
|
Linux removing theirs in 2.6 and making libusb the default interface
|
|
(supported by sane).
|
|
|
|
20090319:
|
|
The multicast forwarding code has been cleaned up. netstat(1)
|
|
only relies on KVM now for printing bandwidth upcall meters.
|
|
The IPv4 and IPv6 modules are split into ip_mroute_mod and
|
|
ip6_mroute_mod respectively. The config(5) options for statically
|
|
compiling this code remain the same, i.e. 'options MROUTING'.
|
|
|
|
20090315:
|
|
Support for the IFF_NEEDSGIANT network interface flag has been
|
|
removed, which means that non-MPSAFE network device drivers are no
|
|
longer supported. In particular, if_ar, if_sr, and network device
|
|
drivers from the old (legacy) USB stack can no longer be built or
|
|
used.
|
|
|
|
20090313:
|
|
POSIX.1 Native Language Support (NLS) has been enabled in libc and
|
|
a bunch of new language catalog files have also been added.
|
|
This means that some common libc messages are now localized and
|
|
they depend on the LC_MESSAGES environmental variable.
|
|
|
|
20090313:
|
|
The k8temp(4) driver has been renamed to amdtemp(4) since
|
|
support for Family 10 and Family 11 CPU families was added.
|
|
|
|
20090309:
|
|
IGMPv3 and Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) have been merged
|
|
to the IPv4 stack. VIMAGE hooks are in but not yet used.
|
|
|
|
For kernel developers, the most important changes are that the
|
|
ip_output() and ip_input() paths no longer take the IN_MULTI_LOCK(),
|
|
and this lock has been downgraded to a non-recursive mutex.
|
|
|
|
Transport protocols (UDP, Raw IP) are now responsible for filtering
|
|
inbound multicast traffic according to group membership and source
|
|
filters. The imo_multicast_filter() KPI exists for this purpose.
|
|
Transports which do not use multicast (SCTP, TCP) already reject
|
|
multicast by default. Forwarding and receive performance may improve
|
|
as a mutex acquisition is no longer needed in the ip_input()
|
|
low-level input path. in_addmulti() and in_delmulti() are shimmed
|
|
to new KPIs which exist to support SSM in-kernel.
|
|
|
|
For application developers, it is recommended that loopback of
|
|
multicast datagrams be disabled for best performance, as this
|
|
will still cause the lock to be taken for each looped-back
|
|
datagram transmission. The net.inet.ip.mcast.loop sysctl may
|
|
be tuned to 0 to disable loopback by default; it defaults to 1
|
|
to preserve the existing behaviour.
|
|
|
|
For systems administrators, to obtain best performance with
|
|
multicast reception and multiple groups, it is always recommended
|
|
that a card with a suitably precise hash filter is used. Hash
|
|
collisions will still result in the lock being taken within the
|
|
transport protocol input path to check group membership.
|
|
|
|
If deploying FreeBSD in an environment with IGMP snooping switches,
|
|
it is recommended that the net.inet.igmp.sendlocal sysctl remain
|
|
enabled; this forces 224.0.0.0/24 group membership to be announced
|
|
via IGMP.
|
|
|
|
The size of 'struct igmpstat' has changed; netstat needs to be
|
|
recompiled to reflect this.
|
|
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 800070.
|
|
|
|
20090309:
|
|
libusb20.so.1 is now installed as libusb.so.1 and the ports system
|
|
updated to use it. This requires a buildworld/installworld in order to
|
|
update the library and dependencies (usbconfig, etc). Its advisable to
|
|
rebuild all ports which uses libusb. More specific directions are given
|
|
in the ports collection UPDATING file. Any /etc/libmap.conf entries for
|
|
libusb are no longer required and can be removed.
|
|
|
|
20090302:
|
|
A workaround is committed to allow the creation of System V shared
|
|
memory segment of size > 2 GB on the 64-bit architectures.
|
|
Due to a limitation of the existing ABI, the shm_segsz member
|
|
of the struct shmid_ds, returned by shmctl(IPC_STAT) call is
|
|
wrong for large segments. Note that limits must be explicitly
|
|
raised to allow such segments to be created.
|
|
|
|
20090301:
|
|
The layout of struct ifnet has changed, requiring a rebuild of all
|
|
network device driver modules.
|
|
|
|
20090227:
|
|
The /dev handling for the new USB stack has changed, a
|
|
buildworld/installworld is required for libusb20.
|
|
|
|
20090223:
|
|
The new USB2 stack has now been permanently moved in and all kernel and
|
|
module names reverted to their previous values (eg, usb, ehci, ohci,
|
|
ums, ...). The old usb stack can be compiled in by prefixing the name
|
|
with the letter 'o', the old usb modules have been removed.
|
|
Updating entry 20090216 for xorg and 20090215 for libmap may still
|
|
apply.
|
|
|
|
20090217:
|
|
The rc.conf(5) option if_up_delay has been renamed to
|
|
defaultroute_delay to better reflect its purpose. If you have
|
|
customized this setting in /etc/rc.conf you need to update it to
|
|
use the new name.
|
|
|
|
20090216:
|
|
xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
|
|
yet work with USB2. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
|
|
add
|
|
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
|
|
to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
|
|
kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf.
|
|
|
|
20090215:
|
|
The GENERIC kernels for all architectures now default to the new USB2
|
|
stack. No kernel config options or code have been removed so if a
|
|
problem arises please report it and optionally revert to the old USB
|
|
stack. If you are loading USB kernel modules or have a custom kernel
|
|
that includes GENERIC then ensure that usb names are also changed over,
|
|
eg uftdi -> usb2_serial_ftdi.
|
|
|
|
Older programs linked against the ports libusb 0.1 need to be
|
|
redirected to the new stack's libusb20. /etc/libmap.conf can
|
|
be used for this:
|
|
# Map old usb library to new one for usb2 stack
|
|
libusb-0.1.so.8 libusb20.so.1
|
|
|
|
20090209:
|
|
All USB ethernet devices now attach as interfaces under the name ueN
|
|
(eg. ue0). This is to provide a predictable name as vendors often
|
|
change usb chipsets in a product without notice.
|
|
|
|
20090203:
|
|
The ichsmb(4) driver has been changed to require SMBus slave
|
|
addresses be left-justified (xxxxxxx0b) rather than right-justified.
|
|
All of the other SMBus controller drivers require left-justified
|
|
slave addresses, so this change makes all the drivers provide the
|
|
same interface.
|
|
|
|
20090201:
|
|
INET6 statistics (struct ip6stat) was updated.
|
|
netstat(1) needs to be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
20090119:
|
|
NTFS has been removed from GENERIC kernel on amd64 to match
|
|
GENERIC on i386. Should not cause any issues since mount_ntfs(8)
|
|
will load ntfs.ko module automatically when NTFS support is
|
|
actually needed, unless ntfs.ko is not installed or security
|
|
level prohibits loading kernel modules. If either is the case,
|
|
"options NTFS" has to be added into kernel config.
|
|
|
|
20090115:
|
|
TCP Appropriate Byte Counting (RFC 3465) support added to kernel.
|
|
New field in struct tcpcb breaks ABI, so bump __FreeBSD_version to
|
|
800061. User space tools that rely on the size of struct tcpcb in
|
|
tcp_var.h (e.g. sockstat) need to be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
20081225:
|
|
ng_tty(4) module updated to match the new TTY subsystem.
|
|
Due to API change, user-level applications must be updated.
|
|
New API support added to mpd5 CVS and expected to be present
|
|
in next mpd5.3 release.
|
|
|
|
20081219:
|
|
With __FreeBSD_version 800060 the makefs tool is part of
|
|
the base system (it was a port).
|
|
|
|
20081216:
|
|
The afdata and ifnet locks have been changed from mutexes to
|
|
rwlocks, network modules will need to be re-compiled.
|
|
|
|
20081214:
|
|
__FreeBSD_version 800059 incorporates the new arp-v2 rewrite.
|
|
RTF_CLONING, RTF_LLINFO and RTF_WASCLONED flags are eliminated.
|
|
The new code reduced struct rtentry{} by 16 bytes on 32-bit
|
|
architecture and 40 bytes on 64-bit architecture. The userland
|
|
applications "arp" and "ndp" have been updated accordingly.
|
|
The output from "netstat -r" shows only routing entries and
|
|
none of the L2 information.
|
|
|
|
20081130:
|
|
__FreeBSD_version 800057 marks the switchover from the
|
|
binary ath hal to source code. Users must add the line:
|
|
|
|
options AH_SUPPORT_AR5416
|
|
|
|
to their kernel config files when specifying:
|
|
|
|
device ath_hal
|
|
|
|
The ath_hal module no longer exists; the code is now compiled
|
|
together with the driver in the ath module. It is now
|
|
possible to tailor chip support (i.e. reduce the set of chips
|
|
and thereby the code size); consult ath_hal(4) for details.
|
|
|
|
20081121:
|
|
__FreeBSD_version 800054 adds memory barriers to
|
|
<machine/atomic.h>, new interfaces to ifnet to facilitate
|
|
multiple hardware transmit queues for cards that support
|
|
them, and a lock-less ring-buffer implementation to
|
|
enable drivers to more efficiently manage queueing of
|
|
packets.
|
|
|
|
20081117:
|
|
A new version of ZFS (version 13) has been merged to -HEAD.
|
|
This version has zpool attribute "listsnapshots" off by
|
|
default, which means "zfs list" does not show snapshots,
|
|
and is the same as Solaris behavior.
|
|
|
|
20081028:
|
|
dummynet(4) ABI has changed. ipfw(8) needs to be recompiled.
|
|
|
|
20081009:
|
|
The uhci, ohci, ehci and slhci USB Host controller drivers have
|
|
been put into separate modules. If you load the usb module
|
|
separately through loader.conf you will need to load the
|
|
appropriate *hci module as well. E.g. for a UHCI-based USB 2.0
|
|
controller add the following to loader.conf:
|
|
|
|
uhci_load="YES"
|
|
ehci_load="YES"
|
|
|
|
20081009:
|
|
The ABI used by the PMC toolset has changed. Please keep
|
|
userland (libpmc(3)) and the kernel module (hwpmc(4)) in
|
|
sync.
|
|
|
|
20081009:
|
|
atapci kernel module now includes only generic PCI ATA
|
|
driver. AHCI driver moved to ataahci kernel module.
|
|
All vendor-specific code moved into separate kernel modules:
|
|
ataacard, ataacerlabs, ataadaptec, ataamd, ataati, atacenatek,
|
|
atacypress, atacyrix, atahighpoint, ataintel, ataite, atajmicron,
|
|
atamarvell, atamicron, atanational, atanetcell, atanvidia,
|
|
atapromise, ataserverworks, atasiliconimage, atasis, atavia
|
|
|
|
20080820:
|
|
The TTY subsystem of the kernel has been replaced by a new
|
|
implementation, which provides better scalability and an
|
|
improved driver model. Most common drivers have been migrated to
|
|
the new TTY subsystem, while others have not. The following
|
|
drivers have not yet been ported to the new TTY layer:
|
|
|
|
PCI/ISA:
|
|
cy, digi, rc, rp, sio
|
|
|
|
USB:
|
|
ubser, ucycom
|
|
|
|
Line disciplines:
|
|
ng_h4, ng_tty, ppp, sl, snp
|
|
|
|
Adding these drivers to your kernel configuration file shall
|
|
cause compilation to fail.
|
|
|
|
20080818:
|
|
ntpd has been upgraded to 4.2.4p5.
|
|
|
|
20080801:
|
|
OpenSSH has been upgraded to 5.1p1.
|
|
|
|
For many years, FreeBSD's version of OpenSSH preferred DSA
|
|
over RSA for host and user authentication keys. With this
|
|
upgrade, we've switched to the vendor's default of RSA over
|
|
DSA. This may cause upgraded clients to warn about unknown
|
|
host keys even for previously known hosts. Users should
|
|
follow the usual procedure for verifying host keys before
|
|
accepting the RSA key.
|
|
|
|
This can be circumvented by setting the "HostKeyAlgorithms"
|
|
option to "ssh-dss,ssh-rsa" in ~/.ssh/config or on the ssh
|
|
command line.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the sequence of keys offered for
|
|
authentication has been changed as well. You may want to
|
|
specify IdentityFile in a different order to revert this
|
|
behavior.
|
|
|
|
20080713:
|
|
The sio(4) driver has been removed from the i386 and amd64
|
|
kernel configuration files. This means uart(4) is now the
|
|
default serial port driver on those platforms as well.
|
|
|
|
To prevent collisions with the sio(4) driver, the uart(4) driver
|
|
uses different names for its device nodes. This means the
|
|
onboard serial port will now most likely be called "ttyu0"
|
|
instead of "ttyd0". You may need to reconfigure applications to
|
|
use the new device names.
|
|
|
|
When using the serial port as a boot console, be sure to update
|
|
/boot/device.hints and /etc/ttys before booting the new kernel.
|
|
If you forget to do so, you can still manually specify the hints
|
|
at the loader prompt:
|
|
|
|
set hint.uart.0.at="isa"
|
|
set hint.uart.0.port="0x3F8"
|
|
set hint.uart.0.flags="0x10"
|
|
set hint.uart.0.irq="4"
|
|
boot -s
|
|
|
|
20080609:
|
|
The gpt(8) utility has been removed. Use gpart(8) to partition
|
|
disks instead.
|
|
|
|
20080603:
|
|
The version that Linuxulator emulates was changed from 2.4.2
|
|
to 2.6.16. If you experience any problems with Linux binaries
|
|
please try to set sysctl compat.linux.osrelease to 2.4.2 and
|
|
if it fixes the problem contact emulation mailing list.
|
|
|
|
20080525:
|
|
ISDN4BSD (I4B) was removed from the src tree. You may need to
|
|
update a your kernel configuration and remove relevant entries.
|
|
|
|
20080509:
|
|
I have checked in code to support multiple routing tables.
|
|
See the man pages setfib(1) and setfib(2).
|
|
This is a hopefully backwards compatible version,
|
|
but to make use of it you need to compile your kernel
|
|
with options ROUTETABLES=2 (or more up to 16).
|
|
|
|
20080420:
|
|
The 802.11 wireless support was redone to enable multi-bss
|
|
operation on devices that are capable. The underlying device
|
|
is no longer used directly but instead wlanX devices are
|
|
cloned with ifconfig. This requires changes to rc.conf files.
|
|
For example, change:
|
|
ifconfig_ath0="WPA DHCP"
|
|
to
|
|
wlans_ath0=wlan0
|
|
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
|
|
see rc.conf(5) for more details. In addition, mergemaster of
|
|
/etc/rc.d is highly recommended. Simultaneous update of userland
|
|
and kernel wouldn't hurt either.
|
|
|
|
As part of the multi-bss changes the wlan_scan_ap and wlan_scan_sta
|
|
modules were merged into the base wlan module. All references
|
|
to these modules (e.g. in kernel config files) must be removed.
|
|
|
|
20080408:
|
|
psm(4) has gained write(2) support in native operation level.
|
|
Arbitrary commands can be written to /dev/psm%d and status can
|
|
be read back from it. Therefore, an application is responsible
|
|
for status validation and error recovery. It is a no-op in
|
|
other operation levels.
|
|
|
|
20080312:
|
|
Support for KSE threading has been removed from the kernel. To
|
|
run legacy applications linked against KSE libmap.conf may
|
|
be used. The following libmap.conf may be used to ensure
|
|
compatibility with any prior release:
|
|
|
|
libpthread.so.1 libthr.so.1
|
|
libpthread.so.2 libthr.so.2
|
|
libkse.so.3 libthr.so.3
|
|
|
|
20080301:
|
|
The layout of struct vmspace has changed. This affects libkvm
|
|
and any executables that link against libkvm and use the
|
|
kvm_getprocs() function. In particular, but not exclusively,
|
|
it affects ps(1), fstat(1), pkill(1), systat(1), top(1) and w(1).
|
|
The effects are minimal, but it's advisable to upgrade world
|
|
nonetheless.
|
|
|
|
20080229:
|
|
The latest em driver no longer has support in it for the
|
|
82575 adapter, this is now moved to the igb driver. The
|
|
split was done to make new features that are incompatible
|
|
with older hardware easier to do.
|
|
|
|
20080220:
|
|
The new geom_lvm(4) geom class has been renamed to geom_linux_lvm(4),
|
|
likewise the kernel option is now GEOM_LINUX_LVM.
|
|
|
|
20080211:
|
|
The default NFS mount mode has changed from UDP to TCP for
|
|
increased reliability. If you rely on (insecurely) NFS
|
|
mounting across a firewall you may need to update your
|
|
firewall rules.
|
|
|
|
20080208:
|
|
Belatedly note the addition of m_collapse for compacting
|
|
mbuf chains.
|
|
|
|
20080126:
|
|
The fts(3) structures have been changed to use adequate
|
|
integer types for their members and so to be able to cope
|
|
with huge file trees. The old fts(3) ABI is preserved
|
|
through symbol versioning in libc, so third-party binaries
|
|
using fts(3) should still work, although they will not take
|
|
advantage of the extended types. At the same time, some
|
|
third-party software might fail to build after this change
|
|
due to unportable assumptions made in its source code about
|
|
fts(3) structure members. Such software should be fixed
|
|
by its vendor or, in the worst case, in the ports tree.
|
|
FreeBSD_version 800015 marks this change for the unlikely
|
|
case that a portable fix is impossible.
|
|
|
|
20080123:
|
|
To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running
|
|
FreeBSD not older than 6.0-RELEASE. Upgrading to -current
|
|
from 5.x now requires a stop over at RELENG_6 or RELENG_7 systems.
|
|
|
|
20071128:
|
|
The ADAPTIVE_GIANT kernel option has been retired because its
|
|
functionality is the default now.
|
|
|
|
20071118:
|
|
The AT keyboard emulation of sunkbd(4) has been turned on
|
|
by default. In order to make the special symbols of the Sun
|
|
keyboards driven by sunkbd(4) work under X these now have
|
|
to be configured the same way as Sun USB keyboards driven
|
|
by ukbd(4) (which also does AT keyboard emulation), f.e.:
|
|
|
|
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
|
|
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
|
|
Option "XkbSymbols" "pc(pc105)+sun_vndr/usb(sun_usb)+us"
|
|
|
|
20071024:
|
|
It has been decided that it is desirable to provide ABI
|
|
backwards compatibility to the FreeBSD 4/5/6 versions of the
|
|
PCIOCGETCONF, PCIOCREAD and PCIOCWRITE IOCTLs, which was
|
|
broken with the introduction of PCI domain support (see the
|
|
20070930 entry). Unfortunately, this required the ABI of
|
|
PCIOCGETCONF to be broken again in order to be able to
|
|
provide backwards compatibility to the old version of that
|
|
IOCTL. Thus consumers of PCIOCGETCONF have to be recompiled
|
|
again. As for prominent ports this affects neither pciutils
|
|
nor xorg-server this time, the hal port needs to be rebuilt
|
|
however.
|
|
|
|
20071020:
|
|
The misnamed kthread_create() and friends have been renamed
|
|
to kproc_create() etc. Many of the callers already
|
|
used kproc_start()..
|
|
I will return kthread_create() and friends in a while
|
|
with implementations that actually create threads, not procs.
|
|
Renaming corresponds with version 800002.
|
|
|
|
20071010:
|
|
RELENG_7 branched.

COMMON ITEMS:
|
|
|
|
General Notes
|
|
-------------
|
|
Avoid using make -j when upgrading. While generally safe, there are
|
|
sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with
|
|
-j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there
|
|
have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This
|
|
is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one
|
|
that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when
|
|
several months have passed on the -current branch).
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
|
|
poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its
|
|
environment when searching for values for global variables. To run
|
|
your build attempts in an "environmental clean room", prefix all make
|
|
commands with 'env -i '. See the env(1) manual page for more details.
|
|
|
|
When upgrading from one major version to another it is generally best
|
|
to upgrade to the latest code in the currently installed branch first,
|
|
then do an upgrade to the new branch. This is the best-tested upgrade
|
|
path, and has the highest probability of being successful. Please try
|
|
this approach before reporting problems with a major version upgrade.
|
|
|
|
When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before
|
|
installing anything can help undo problems. Not having a root shell
|
|
around can lead to problems if pam has changed too much from your
|
|
starting point to allow continued authentication after the upgrade.
|
|
|
|
ZFS notes
|
|
---------
|
|
When upgrading the boot ZFS pool to a new version, always follow
|
|
these two steps:
|
|
|
|
1.) recompile and reinstall the ZFS boot loader and boot block
|
|
(this is part of "make buildworld" and "make installworld")
|
|
|
|
2.) update the ZFS boot block on your boot drive
|
|
|
|
The following example updates the ZFS boot block on the first
|
|
partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ad0:
|
|
"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ad0"
|
|
|
|
Non-boot pools do not need these updates.
|
|
|
|
To build a kernel
|
|
-----------------
|
|
If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just
|
|
a few days old), you should follow this procedure. It is the most
|
|
failsafe as it uses a /usr/obj tree with a fresh mini-buildworld,
|
|
|
|
make kernel-toolchain
|
|
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
|
|
make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
|
|
|
|
To test a kernel once
|
|
---------------------
|
|
If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
|
|
if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
|
|
debugging information) run
|
|
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
|
|
nextboot -k testkernel
|
|
|
|
To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
This assumes you are already running a CURRENT system. Replace
|
|
${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
|
|
"arm", "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", "powerpc", "mips", etc).
|
|
|
|
cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
|
|
config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
|
|
cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
|
|
make depend
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
|
|
|
|
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
# Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
|
|
# is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
|
|
|
|
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
|
|
make buildworld
|
|
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
|
|
[1]
|
|
<reboot in single user> [3]
|
|
mergemaster -Fp [5]
|
|
make installworld
|
|
mergemaster -Fi [4]
|
|
make delete-old [6]
|
|
<reboot>
|
|
|
|
To cross-install current onto a separate partition
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
# In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
|
|
# current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
|
|
# holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
|
|
# size.
|
|
|
|
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
|
|
<boot into -stable>
|
|
make buildworld
|
|
make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
|
|
<maybe newfs current's root partition>
|
|
<mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
|
|
make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} -DDB_FROM_SRC
|
|
make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
|
|
make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
|
|
cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
|
|
<edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
|
|
<reboot into current>
|
|
<do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
|
|
<maybe install compatibility libraries from ports/misc/compat*>
|
|
<reboot>
|
|
|
|
|
|
To upgrade in-place from stable to current
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
<make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
|
|
make buildworld [9]
|
|
make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
|
|
[1]
|
|
<reboot in single user> [3]
|
|
mergemaster -Fp [5]
|
|
make installworld
|
|
mergemaster -Fi [4]
|
|
make delete-old [6]
|
|
<reboot>
|
|
|
|
Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
|
|
tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
|
|
cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
|
|
to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
|
|
the UPDATING entries.
|
|
|
|
Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
|
|
freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
|
|
your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
|
|
messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
|
|
much fewer pitfalls.
|
|
|
|
[1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
|
|
should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
|
|
system on reboot.
|
|
|
|
[3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
|
|
fsck -p
|
|
mount -u /
|
|
mount -a
|
|
cd src
|
|
adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
|
|
Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
|
|
you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
|
|
|
|
[4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
|
|
can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
|
|
system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
|
|
that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
|
|
as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
|
|
for potential gotchas. The -U option is also useful to consider.
|
|
See mergemaster(8) for more information.
|
|
|
|
[5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
|
|
you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
|
|
step. It never hurts to do it all the time. You may need to
|
|
install a new mergemaster (cd src/usr.sbin/mergemaster && make
|
|
install) after the buildworld before this step if you last updated
|
|
from current before 20130425 or from -stable before 20130430.
|
|
|
|
[6] This only deletes old files and directories. Old libraries
|
|
can be deleted by "make delete-old-libs", but you have to make
|
|
sure that no program is using those libraries anymore.
|
|
|
|
[8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 4.x binaries needed to
|
|
do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD4 option in
|
|
your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system that is
|
|
hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5 is
|
|
required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels. And so on
|
|
for COMPAT_FREEBSD6 and COMPAT_FREEBSD7.
|
|
|
|
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
|
|
last time you updated your kernel config file.
|
|
|
|
[9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
|
|
cvs prune empty directories.
|
|
|
|
If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
|
|
"?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
|
|
override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
|
|
|
|
MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
|
|
not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
|
|
warn if it is improperly defined.
|
|
FORMAT:
|
|
|
|
This file contains a list, in reverse chronological order, of major
|
|
breakages in tracking -current. It is not guaranteed to be a complete
|
|
list of such breakages, and only contains entries since October 10, 2007.
|
|
If you need to see UPDATING entries from before that date, you will need
|
|
to fetch an UPDATING file from an older FreeBSD release.
