1.1. KERNEL CHANGES
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------

1998-09-09 03:37:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2000-05-06 02:33:44 +00:00
|
|
|
A new event notification facility called kqueue was added to the
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD kernel. This is a new interface which is able to replace
|
|
|
|
|
poll/select, offering improved performance, as well as the ability
|
|
|
|
|
to report many different types of events. Support for monitoring
|
|
|
|
|
changes in sockets, pipes, fifos, and files are present, as well as
|
|
|
|
|
for signals and processes. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-04-16 20:06:11 +00:00
|
|
|
Support for named extended attributes was added to the FreeBSD kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
This allows the kernel, and appropriately privileged userland processes,
|
|
|
|
|
to tag files and directories with attribute data. Extended attributes
|
|
|
|
|
were added to support the TrustedBSD Project, in particular ACLs,
|
2001-04-03 21:59:48 +00:00
|
|
|
capability data, and mandatory access control labels (see
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/README.extattr for details).

|
|
|
|
2000-04-20 06:42:39 +00:00
|
|
|
Support for Intel's Wired for Management 2.0 (PXE) was added to
|
|
|
|
|
the FreeBSD boot loader. Due to API differences, the older PXE
|
2000-07-14 05:47:08 +00:00
|
|
|
versions are not supported. This allow network booting using DHCP. [MERGED]
|
2000-04-20 06:42:39 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2000-04-22 15:36:56 +00:00
|
|
|
POSIX.1b Shared Memory Objects are now supported. The implementation
|
|
|
|
|
uses regular files, but automatically enables the MAP_NOSYNC flag
|
2000-09-01 16:39:02 +00:00
|
|
|
when they are mmap(2)ed. [MERGED]

|
|
|
|
2001-02-12 18:04:20 +00:00
|
|
|
Added support for PCI Ethernet adapters based on the National Semiconductor
|
2000-07-06 06:02:04 +00:00
|
|
|
DP83815 chipset, including the NetGear FA312-TX.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-07-27 23:29:22 +00:00
|
|
|
Due to a licensing change, softupdates have been integrated into the
|
|
|
|
|
main portion of the kernel source tree. As a consequence, softupdates
|
|
|
|
|
are now available with the GENERIC kernel. [MERGED]
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001-05-10 23:38:32 +00:00
|
|
|
When running with softupdates, statfs(2) and df(1) will track the
|
|
|
|
|
number of blocks and files that are committed to being freed.

SMP support has been largely reworked, incorporating code from BSD/OS
|
2000-10-18 23:45:31 +00:00
|

|
5.0. One of the main features of SMPng ("SMP Next Generation") is to

|
|
|
|
allow more processes to run in kernel, without the need for spin locks
|
|

|
|
that can dramatically reduce the efficiency of multiple processors.

Support for the 80386 processor has been removed from the GENERIC
|
|
|
|
|
kernel, as this code seriously pessimizes performance on other ia32
|
|
|
|
|
processors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The I386_CPU kernel option to support the 80386 processor is now mutually
|
|
|
|
|
exclusive with support for other ia32 processors; this should slightly
|
|
|
|
|
improve performance on the 80386 due to the elimination of runtime
|
|
|
|
|
processor type checks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Custom kernels that will run on the 80386 can still be built by changing
|
|
|
|
|
the cpu options in the kernel configuration file to only include I386_CPU.

OpenSSH has been upgraded to 2.1.0, which provides support for the
|
|
|
|
|
SSH2 protocol, including DSA keys. Therefore, OpenSSH users in the US
|
|
|
|
|
no longer need to rely on the restrictively-licensed RSAREF toolkit
|
|
|
|
|
which is required to handle RSA keys. OpenSSH 2.1 interoperates well
|
|
|
|
|
with other SSH2 clients and servers, including the ssh2 port. See
|
2000-07-14 05:47:08 +00:00

OpenSSH has been upgraded to 2.2.0. ssh-add(1) and ssh-agent(1) can now
|
|
|
|
|
handle DSA keys. An sftp server interoperable with ssh.com clients
|
|
|
|
|
and others has been added. scp(1) can now handle files >2GB.
|
|
|
|
|
Interoperability with other ssh2 clients/servers has been improved. A
|
|
|
|
|
new feature to limit the number of outstanding unauthenticated ssh

OpenSSH has been modified to be more resistant to traffic analysis by
|
|
|
|
|
requiring that "non-echoed" characters are still echoed back in a null
|
|
|
|
|
packet, as well as by padding passwords sent so as not to hint at

password lengths. [MERGED]

OpenSSH now has a "VersionAddendum" configuration setting for sshd(8)
|
|
|
|
|
to allow changing the part of the OpenSSH version string after the
|
|
|
|
|
main version number.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OpenSSH has been updated to version 2.9, which adds two new programs,
|
|
|
|
|
sftp(1) and ssh-keyscan(1). Among the various enhancements: The
|
|
|
|
|
default protocol is now v2, rekeying of existing SSH sessions is now
|
|
|
|
|
supported, and an experimental SOCKS4 proxy has been added to the
|
|
|
|
|
ssh(1) client.

Support for USB devices was added to the GENERIC kernel and to the
|
|
|
|
|
installation programs to support USB devices out of the box. Note that
|
|
|
|
|
an AT keyboard must still be used during the initial install, but it
|
|
|
|
|
should work fine afterwards. [MERGED]

The entire i386 bootstrap was revamped to support automatic detection and
|
|
|
|
|
use of the Enhanced Disk Drive BIOS extensions to support booting beyond
|
|
|
|
|
the 1023rd cylinder. As part of this change, the FreeBSD boot manager
|
|
|
|
|
(boot0) was increased from 1 sector in size (512 bytes), to 2 sectors in
|
|
|
|
|
length (1024 bytes). As a result, several userland changes were made to
|
|
|
|
|
cope with MBR boot loaders of varying sizes. [MERGED]

mail.local(8) is no longer installed as a set-user-id binary. If you are

using a /etc/mail/sendmail.cf from the default sendmail.cf included with

|
|
|
|
FreeBSD any time after 3.1.0, you are fine. If you are using a
|
|
|
|
|
hand-configured sendmail.cf and mail.local for delivery, check to make sure
|
|
|
|
|
the F=S flag is set on the Mlocal line. Those with .mc files who need to
|
|
|
|
|
add the flag can do so by adding the following line to their your .mc file
|
|
|
|
|
and regenerating the sendmail.cf file:

fsck(8) and fsck_ffs(8) now support background filesystem checks to
|
|
|
|
|
mounted FFS filesystems with the -B option (softupdates must be

enabled on these filesystems). The -F flag now determines whether a

specified filesystem needs foreground checking.

|
|
|
|
fsck(8) now has support for foreground (-F) and background (-B)
|
|
|
|
|
checks. Traditionally, fsck(8) is invoked before the filesystems are
|
|
|
|
|
mounted and all checks are done to completion at that time. If
|
|
|
|
|
background checking is available, fsck(8) is invoked twice. It is
|
|
|
|
|
first invoked at the traditional time, before the filesystems are
|
|
|
|
|
mounted, with the -F flag to do checking on all the filesystems that
|
|
|
|
|
cannot do background checking. It is then invoked a second time,
|
|
|
|
|
after the system has completed going multiuser, with the -B flag to do
|
|
|
|
|
checking on all the filesystems that can do background checking.
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike the foreground checking, the background checking is started
|
|
|
|
|
asynchonously so that other system activity can proceed even on the
|
|
|
|
|
filesystems that are being checked.

anyway.)

Add driver support (and man page) for PCI fast ethernet cards based
on the ASIX AX88140A chip. Update /sys/conf/files, RELNOTES.TXT,
/sys/i388/i386/userconfig.c, sysinstall/devices.c, GENERIC and LINT
accordingly.
For now, the only board that I know of that uses this chip is the
Alfa Inc. GFC2204. (Its predecessor, the GFC2202, was a DEC tulip card.)
Thanks again to Ulf for obtaining the board for me. If anyone runs
across another, please feel free to update the man page and/or the
release notes. (The same applies for the other drivers.)
FreeBSD should now have support for all of the DEC tulip workalike
chipsets currently on the market (Macronix, Lite-On, Winbond, ASIX).
And unless I'm mistaken, it should also have support for all PCI fast
ethernet chipsets in general (except maybe the SMC FEAST chip, which
nobody seems to ever use, including SMC). Now if only we could convince
3Com, Intel or whoever to cough up some documentation for gigabit
ethernet hardware.
Also updated RELNOTEX.TXT to mention that the SVEC PN102TX is supported
by the Macronix driver (assuming you actually have an SVEC PN102TX with
a Macronix chip on it; I tried to order a PN102TX once and got a box
labeled 'Hawking Technology PN102TX' that had a VIA Rhine board inside
it).

ADMtek Inc. AN986-based USB Ethernet NICs including the following:

This commit adds device driver support for the ADMtek AN986 Pegasus
USB ethernet chip. Adapters that use this chip include the LinkSys
USB100TX. There are a few others, but I'm not certain of their
availability in the U.S. I used an ADMtek eval board for development.
Note that while the ADMtek chip is a 100Mbps device, you can't really
get 100Mbps speeds over USB. Regardless, this driver uses miibus to
allow speed and duplex mode selection as well as autonegotiation.
Building and kldloading the driver as a module is also supported.
Note that in order to make this driver work, I had to make what some
may consider an ugly hack to sys/dev/usb/usbdi.c. The usbd_transfer()
function will use tsleep() for synchronous transfers that don't complete
right away. This is a problem since there are times when we need to
do sync transfers from an interrupt context (i.e. when reading registers
from the MAC via the control endpoint), where tsleep() us a no-no.
My hack allows the driver to have the code poll for transfer completion
subject to the xfer->timeout timeout rather that calling tsleep().
This hack is controlled by a quirk entry and is only enabled for the
ADMtek device.
Now, I'm sure there are a few of you out there ready to jump on me
and suggest some other approach that doesn't involve a busy wait. The
only solution that might work is to handle the interrupts in a kernel
thread, where you may have something resembling a process context that
makes it okay to tsleep(). This is lovely, except we don't have any
mechanism like that now, and I'm not about to implement such a thing
myself since it's beyond the scope of driver development. (Translation:
I'll be damned if I know how to do it.) If FreeBSD ever aquires such
a mechanism, I'll be glad to revisit the driver to take advantage of
it. In the meantime, I settled for what I perceived to be the solution
that involved the least amount of code changes. In general, the hit
is pretty light.
Also note that my only USB test box has a UHCI controller: I haven't
I don't have a machine with an OHCI controller available.
Highlights:
- Updated usb_quirks.* to add UQ_NO_TSLEEP quirk for ADMtek part.
- Updated usbdevs and regenerated generated files
- Updated HARDWARE.TXT and RELNOTES.TXT files
- Updated sysinstall/device.c and userconfig.c
- Updated kernel configs -- device aue0 is commented out by default
- Updated /sys/conf/files
- Added new kld module directory

Add the vendor and device IDs for a whole bunch of additional USB
ethernet adapters that are supported by the aue and kue drivers.
There are actually a couple more out there from Accton, Asante and
EXP Computer, however I was not able to find any Windows device
drivers for these on their servers, and hence could not harvest
their vendor/device ID info. If somebody has one of these things
and can look in the .inf file that comes with the Windows driver,
I'd appreciate knowing what it says for 'VID' and 'PID.'
Additional adapters include: the D-Link DSB-650 and DSB-650TX, the
SMC 2102USB, 2104USB and 2202USB, the ATen UC10T, and the Netgear EA101.
These are all mentioned in the man pages, relnotes and LINT.
Also correct the date in the kue(4) man page. I wrote this thing
on Jan, 4 2000, not 1999.

Add driver support (and man page) for PCI fast ethernet cards based
on the ASIX AX88140A chip. Update /sys/conf/files, RELNOTES.TXT,
/sys/i388/i386/userconfig.c, sysinstall/devices.c, GENERIC and LINT
accordingly.
For now, the only board that I know of that uses this chip is the
Alfa Inc. GFC2204. (Its predecessor, the GFC2202, was a DEC tulip card.)
Thanks again to Ulf for obtaining the board for me. If anyone runs
across another, please feel free to update the man page and/or the
release notes. (The same applies for the other drivers.)
FreeBSD should now have support for all of the DEC tulip workalike
chipsets currently on the market (Macronix, Lite-On, Winbond, ASIX).
And unless I'm mistaken, it should also have support for all PCI fast
ethernet chipsets in general (except maybe the SMC FEAST chip, which
nobody seems to ever use, including SMC). Now if only we could convince
3Com, Intel or whoever to cough up some documentation for gigabit
ethernet hardware.
Also updated RELNOTEX.TXT to mention that the SVEC PN102TX is supported
by the Macronix driver (assuming you actually have an SVEC PN102TX with
a Macronix chip on it; I tried to order a PN102TX once and got a box
labeled 'Hawking Technology PN102TX' that had a VIA Rhine board inside
it).

-------------------
The Advanced Networking Group (ANG) at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center,
Inc. (MSCI), as part of its work on the MAGIC Gigabit Testbed, developed
the Host ATM Research Platform (HARP) software, which allows IP hosts to
communicate over ATM networks using standard protocols. It is intended to
be a high-quality platform for IP/ATM research.
HARP provides a way for IP hosts to connect to ATM networks. It supports
standard methods of communication using IP over ATM. A host's standard IP

self-contained; it requires no other licenses or commercial software packages.
HARP implements support for the IETF Classical IP model for using IP over ATM
networks, including:
o IETF ATMARP address resolution client

HARP | Host ATM Research Platform
===================================
HARP 3
What is this stuff?
-------------------
The Advanced Networking Group (ANG) at the Minnesota Supercomputer Center,
Inc. (MSCI), as part of its work on the MAGIC Gigabit Testbed, developed
the Host ATM Research Platform (HARP) software, which allows IP hosts to
communicate over ATM networks using standard protocols. It is intended to
be a high-quality platform for IP/ATM research.
HARP provides a way for IP hosts to connect to ATM networks. It supports
standard methods of communication using IP over ATM. A host's standard IP
software sends and receives datagrams via a HARP ATM interface. HARP provides
functionality similar to (and typically replaces) vendor-provided ATM device
driver software.
HARP includes full source code, making it possible for researchers to
experiment with different approaches to running IP over ATM. HARP is
self-contained; it requires no other licenses or commercial software packages.
HARP implements support for the IETF Classical IP model for using IP over ATM
networks, including:
o IETF ATMARP address resolution client
o IETF ATMARP address resolution server
o IETF SCSP/ATMARP server
o UNI 3.1 and 3.0 signalling protocols
o Fore Systems's SPANS signalling protocol
What's supported
----------------
The following are supported by HARP 3:
o ATM Host Interfaces
- FORE Systems, Inc. SBA-200 and SBA-200E ATM SBus Adapters
- FORE Systems, Inc. PCA-200E ATM PCI Adapters
- Efficient Networks, Inc. ENI-155p ATM PCI Adapters
o ATM Signalling Protocols
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.1 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum UNI 3.0 signalling protocol
- The ATM Forum ILMI address registration
- FORE Systems's proprietary SPANS signalling protocol
- Permanent Virtual Channels (PVCs)
o IETF "Classical IP and ARP over ATM" model
- RFC 1483, "Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5"
- RFC 1577, "Classical IP and ARP over ATM"
- RFC 1626, "Default IP MTU for use over ATM AAL5"
- RFC 1755, "ATM Signaling Support for IP over ATM"
- RFC 2225, "Classical IP and ARP over ATM"
- RFC 2334, "Server Cache Synchronization Protocol (SCSP)"
- Internet Draft draft-ietf-ion-scsp-atmarp-00.txt,
"A Distributed ATMARP Service Using SCSP"
o ATM Sockets interface
- The file atm-sockets.txt contains further information
What's not supported
--------------------
The following major features of the above list are not currently supported:
o UNI point-to-multipoint support
o Driver support for Traffic Control/Quality of Service
o SPANS multicast and MPP support
o SPANS signalling using Efficient adapters
This software was developed under the sponsorship of the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

3. Obtaining FreeBSD
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-02-17 07:59:37 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1997-02-01 01:08:35 +00:00
|
|
|
3.1. FTP/Mail
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
|
2000-10-01 13:30:15 +00:00
|
|
|
`ftp.FreeBSD.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
|
1995-12-07 10:34:59 +00:00
|
|
|
MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
|
|
|
|
|
networking terms) to you. Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
|
2001-02-12 17:34:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to
|
1997-03-14 05:23:23 +00:00
|
|
|
become an official mirror site.
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1996-12-26 21:53:11 +00:00
|
|
|
If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
|
1997-05-14 07:12:57 +00:00
|
|
|
`ftpmail@ftpmail.vix.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
|
1995-12-07 10:34:59 +00:00
|
|
|
to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
|
|
|
|
|
Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
|
|
|
|
|
megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
|
|
|
|
|
LAST resort!

4. Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
|
2000-07-19 00:05:59 +00:00
|
|
|
it's 3.0 and there may be some issues affecting you, depending
|
1999-01-21 23:26:34 +00:00
|
|
|
of course on your chosen method of upgrading. There are two popular
|
|
|
|
|
ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions:
|
1998-10-14 08:54:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Using sources, via /usr/src
|
|
|
|
|
o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2000-07-19 00:05:59 +00:00
|
|
|
Please read the UPGRADE.TXT file for more information, preferably
|
|
|
|
|
before beginning an upgrade.
|
1998-10-14 08:54:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
|
|
|
|
|
valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
|
1995-12-07 10:34:59 +00:00
|
|
|
(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
|
1996-12-26 21:53:11 +00:00
|
|
|
Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
|
2000-10-01 13:30:15 +00:00
|
|
|
script at http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html. Bug reports
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
|
|
|
|
|
be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
|
1995-12-07 10:34:59 +00:00
|
|
|
as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
|
|
|
|
|
in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
|
|
|
|
|
and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
|
|
|
|
|
watch out for.
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
|
|
|
|
|
submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1997-03-14 05:10:47 +00:00
|
|
|
freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
|
1995-09-18 16:53:06 +00:00
|
|
|
|
1996-12-26 21:24:00 +00:00
|
|
|
Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
|
|
|
|
|
even onto a totally different system. We much prefer if you could use
|
|
|
|
|
this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
|
|
|
|
|
reports. However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
|
|
|
|
|
the problem might have already been fixed since.

|
|
|

|
|
|
hard to bring you this release. For a complete list of FreeBSD
