2014-05-06 04:22:29 +00:00

the tip of head, and then rebuild without this option. The bootstrap process

from older version of current across the gcc/clang cutover is a bit fragile.

NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 13.x IS SLOW:
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD 13.x has many debugging features turned on, in both the kernel
|
2009-09-03 17:04:42 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2012-04-17 20:35:54 +00:00
|
|
|
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

Fix dpcpu and vnet panics with complex types at the end of the section.
Apply a linker script when linking i386 kernel modules to apply padding
to a set_pcpu or set_vnet section. The padding value is kind-of random
and is used to catch modules not compiled with the linker-script, so
possibly still having problems leading to kernel panics.
This is needed as the code generated on certain architectures for
non-simple-types, e.g., an array can generate an absolute relocation
on the edge (just outside) the section and thus will not be properly
relocated. Adding the padding to the end of the section will ensure
that even absolute relocations of complex types will be inside the
section, if they are the last object in there and hence relocation will
work properly and avoid panics such as observed with carp.ko or ipsec.ko.
There is a rather lengthy discussion of various options to apply in
the mentioned PRs and their depends/blocks, and the review.
There seems no best solution working across multiple toolchains and
multiple version of them, so I took the liberty of taking one,
as currently our users (and our CI system) are hitting this on
just i386 and we need some solution. I wish we would have a proper
fix rather than another "hack".
Also backout r340009 which manually, temporarily fixed CARP before 12.0-R
"by chance" after a lead-up of various other link-elf.c and related fixes.

Remove IPSEC from GENERIC due to performance issues
Having IPSEC compiled into the kernel imposes a non-trivial
performance penalty on multi-threaded workloads due to IPSEC
refcounting. In my benchmarks of multi-threaded UDP
transmit (connected sockets), I've seen a roughly 20% performance
penalty when the IPSEC option is included in the kernel (16.8Mpps
vs 13.8Mpps with 32 senders on a 14 core / 28 HTT Xeon
2697v3)). This is largely due to key_addref() incrementing and
decrementing an atomic reference count on the default
policy. This cause all CPUs to stall on the same cacheline, as it
bounces between different CPUs.
Given that relatively few users use ipsec, and that it can be
loaded as a module, it seems reasonable to ask those users to
load the ipsec module so as to avoid imposing this penalty on the
GENERIC kernel. Its my hope that this will make FreeBSD look
better in "out of the box" benchmark comparisons with other
operating systems.
Many thanks to ae for fixing auto-loading of ipsec.ko when
ifconfig tries to configure ipsec, and to cy for volunteering
to ensure the the racoon ports will load the ipsec.ko module

The IPSEC option has been removed from GENERIC. Users requiring

tun/tap: merge and rename to `tuntap`
tun(4) and tap(4) share the same general management interface and have a lot
in common. Bugs exist in tap(4) that have been fixed in tun(4), and
vice-versa. Let's reduce the maintenance requirements by merging them
together and using flags to differentiate between the three interface types
(tun, tap, vmnet).
This fixes a couple of tap(4)/vmnet(4) issues right out of the gate:
- tap devices may no longer be destroyed while they're open [0]
- VIMAGE issues already addressed in tun by kp
[0] emaste had removed an easy-panic-button in r240938 due to devdrn
blocking. A naive glance over this leads me to believe that this isn't quite
complete -- destroy_devl will only block while executing d_* functions, but
doesn't block the device from being destroyed while a process has it open.
The latter is the intent of the condvar in tun, so this is "fixed" (for
certain definitions of the word -- it wasn't really broken in tap, it just
wasn't quite ideal).
ifconfig(8) also grew the ability to map an interface name to a kld, so
that `ifconfig {tun,tap}0` can continue to autoload the correct module, and
`ifconfig vmnet0 create` will now autoload the correct module. This is a
low overhead addition.
(MFC commentary)
This may get MFC'd if many bugs in tun(4)/tap(4) are discovered after this,
and how critical they are. Changes after this are likely easily MFC'd
without taking this merge, but the merge will be easier.
I have no plans to do this MFC as of now.

random(4): Restore availability tradeoff prior to r346250
As discussed in that commit message, it is a dangerous default. But the
safe default causes enough pain on a variety of platforms that for now,
restore the prior default.
Some of this is self-induced pain we should/could do better about; for
example, programmatic CI systems and VM managers should introduce entropy
from the host for individual VM instances. This is considered a future work
item.
On modern x86 and Power9 systems, this may be wholly unnecessary after
D19928 lands (even in the non-ideal case where early /boot/entropy is
unavailable), because they have fast hardware random sources available early
in boot. But D19928 is not yet landed and we have a host of architectures
which do not provide fast random sources.
This change adds several tunables and diagnostic sysctls, documented
thoroughly in UPDATING and sys/dev/random/random_infra.c.

Ports for the DRM modules have been simplified. Now, amd64 users should
|
|
|
|
|
just install the drm-kmod port. All others should install
|
|
|
|
|
drm-legacy-kmod.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Graphics hardware that's newer than about 2010 usually works with
|
|
|
|
|
drm-kmod. For hardware older than 2013, however, some users will need
|
|
|
|
|
to use drm-legacy-kmod if drm-kmod doesn't work for them. Hardware older
|
|
|
|
|
than 2008 usually only works in drm-legacy-kmod. The graphics team can
|
|
|
|
|
only commit to hardware made since 2013 due to the complexity of the
|
|
|
|
|
market and difficulty to test all the older cards effectively. If you
|
|
|
|
|
have hardware supported by drm-kmod, you are strongly encouraged to use
|
|
|
|
|
that as you will get better support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other than KPI chasing, drm-legacy-kmod will not be updated. As outlined
|
|
|
|
|
elsewhere, the drm and drm2 modules will be eliminated from the src base
|
2019-03-09 17:17:55 +00:00

soon (with a limited exception for arm). Please update to the package
|
|

asap and report any issues to x11@freebsd.org.

Generally, anybody using the drm*-kmod packages should add

|

|

WITHOUT_DRM_MODULE=t and WITHOUT_DRM2_MODULE=t to avoid nasty
|
|
|
|
|
cross-threading surprises, especially with automatic driver
|

loading from X11 startup. These will become the defaults in 13-current

shortly.

The ixlv(4) driver has been renamed to iavf(4). As a consequence,

custom kernel and module loading configuration files must be updated

accordingly. Moreover, interfaces previous presented as ixlvN to the

corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system.

The default interpreter has been switched from 4th to Lua.
|
|
|
|
|
LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP, documented in build(7), will override the default

|
|

|
|
|
|
|
LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP=4th (valid values are 4th, lua or simp) in
|
|
|
|
|
src.conf for the build. This will create default hard links between
|
|
|
|
|
loader and loader_4th instead of loader and loader_lua, the new default.

If you are using UEFI it will create the proper hard link to loader.efi.

Finalize the boot manager protocol support for next-stage boot
loading.
If we are booting in a conforming UEFI Boot Manager Environment, then
use the BootCurrent variable to find the BootXXXX we're using. Once we
find that, then if it contains more than one EFI_DEVICE_PATH in its
what to boot section, try to use the last one as the kernel to
load. This will also set the default root partition as well. If
there's only one path, or if there's an error along the way, assume
that nothing specific was specified and revert to the old
algorithm. If something was specified, but not found, then fail the
boot. Otherwise you that, specific thing. On FreeBSD, this can be set
using efibootmgr -l <loader> -k <kernel>. We try a few variations of
kernel to cope with the fact that UEFI comes from a DOS world where
paths might be upper case and/or contain back-slashes.
Note: In an ideal world, we'd work out where we are in chain loading
by looking at the passed-in image handle and doing name
matching. However, that's unreliable since at least boot1.efi booted
images don't have that, hence the assumption that loader.efi needs to
load the last thing on the list, if possible.
The reason we fail for something specific is so that we can fully
participate in the UEFI Boot Manager Protocol and fail over to the
next item in the list of BootOrder choices when something goes wrong
at this stage.

only a core file with the highest index in a filename.

r335753 introduced a new quoting method. However, etc/devd/devmatch.conf
|
|
|
|

needed to be changed to work with it. This change was made with r335763
|
2019-03-09 17:17:55 +00:00

|
and requires a mergemaster / etcupdate / etc to update the installed

As of r334391 lld is the default amd64 system linker; it is installed

The kernel / userland interface for devinfo changed, so you'll
|
|
|
|
|
need a new kernel and userland as a pair for it to work (rebuilding
|
|
|
|
|
lib/libdevinfo is all that's required). devinfo and devmatch will
|
|
|
|
|
not work, but everything else will when there's a mismatch.

2018-05-24 17:08:55 +00:00

threadid corresponding to a given record. This changes the field offsets
|
2018-05-23 17:30:23 +00:00

The vxge(4) driver has been removed. This driver was introduced into

|
|
|
|
HEAD one week before the Exar left the Ethernet market and is not
|
|

it must be removed.

The amd64 kernel now requires a ld that supports ifunc to produce a
|
|
|
|
|
working kernel, either lld or a newer binutils. lld is built by default
|
|
|
|
|
on amd64, and the 'buildkernel' target uses it automatically. However,
|
|
|
|
|
it is not the default linker, so building the kernel the traditional
|
|
|
|
|
way requires LD=ld.lld on the command line (or LD=/usr/local/bin/ld for
|
|
|
|
|
binutils port/package). lld will soon be default, and this requirement
|
|
|
|
|
will go away.

|
|
|
|
2018-09-26 14:32:36 +00:00

workaround is necessary.

Europe/Dublin (from 1971 on), Europe/Prague (1946/7), and

In addition to supporting RFC 3164 formatted messages, the
|
|
|
|
|
syslogd(8) service is now capable of parsing RFC 5424 formatted
|
|
|
|
|
log messages. The main benefit of using RFC 5424 is that clients
|
|
|
|
|
may now send log messages with timestamps containing year numbers,
|
|
|
|
|
microseconds and time zone offsets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, the syslog(3) C library function has been altered to
|
|
|
|
|
send RFC 5424 formatted messages to the local system logging
|
|
|
|
|
daemon. On systems using syslogd(8), this change should have no
|
|
|
|
|
negative impact, as long as syslogd(8) and the C library are
|
|
|
|
|
updated at the same time. On systems using a different system
|
|
|
|
|
logging daemon, it may be necessary to make configuration
|
|
|
|
|
adjustments, depending on the software used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using syslog-ng, add the 'syslog-protocol' flag to local
|
|
|
|
|
input sources to enable parsing of RFC 5424 formatted messages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
source src {
|
|
|
|
|
unix-dgram("/var/run/log" flags(syslog-protocol));
|
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using rsyslog, disable the 'SysSock.UseSpecialParser' option
|
|
|
|
|
of the 'imuxsock' module to let messages be processed by the
|
|
|
|
|
regular RFC 3164/5424 parsing pipeline:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
module(load="imuxsock" SysSock.UseSpecialParser="off")
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do note that these changes only affect communication between local
|
|
|
|
|
applications and syslogd(8). The format that syslogd(8) uses to
|
|
|
|
|
store messages on disk or forward messages to other systems
|
|
|
|
|
remains unchanged. syslogd(8) still uses RFC 3164 for these
|
|
|
|
|
purposes. Options to customize this behaviour will be added in the
|
|
|
|
|
future. Utilities that process log files stored in /var/log are
|
|
|
|
|
thus expected to continue to function as before.

|
|

|
The amd64 mkisoimages.sh script used to build amd64 ISO images for

|
|
|
|

Add Lua as a scripting langauge to /boot/loader
liblua glues the lua run time into the boot loader. It implements all
the runtime routines that lua expects. In addition, it has a few
standard 'C' headers that nueter various aspects of the LUA build that
are too specific to lua to be in libsa. Many refinements from the
original code to improve implementation and the number of included lua
libraries. Use int64_t for lua_Number. Have "/boot/lua" be the default
module path. Numerous cleanups from the original GSoC project,
including hacking libsa to allow lua to be built with only one change
outside luaconf.h.
Add the final bit of lua glue to bring in liblua and plug into the
multiple interpreter framework, previously committed.
Add LOADER_LUA option, currently off by default.
Presently, this is an experimental option. One must opt-in to using
this by defining WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH. It's been
lightly tested, so keep a backup copy of your old loader handy.
The menu code, coming in the next commit, hasn't been exhaustively
tested. A LUA boot loader is 60k larger than a FORTH one, which is
80k larger than a no-interpreter one. Subtle changes in size
may tip things past some subtle limit (the binary is ~430k now
when built with LUA). A future version may offer coexistance.
Bump FreeBSD version to 1200058 to mark the milestone.

The default MAKEOBJDIR has changed from /usr/obj/<srcdir> for native

builds, and /usr/obj/<arch>/<srcdir> for cross-builds, to a unified

/usr/obj/<srcdir>/<arch>. This behavior can be changed to the old

format by setting WITHOUT_UNIFIED_OBJDIR=yes in /etc/src-env.conf,
|
|
|
|
|
the environment, or with -DWITHOUT_UNIFIED_OBJDIR when building.
|

"make check" behavior (made in ^/head@r295380) has been changed to
|
|
|
|
|
execute from a limited sandbox, as opposed to executing from
|
|
|
|
|
${TESTSDIR}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Behavioral changes:
|
|
|
|
|
- The "beforecheck" and "aftercheck" targets are now specified.
|
|
|
|
|
- ${CHECKDIR} (added in commit noted above) has been removed.
|
|
|
|
|
- Legacy behavior can be enabled by setting
|
|
|
|
|
WITHOUT_MAKE_CHECK_USE_SANDBOX in src.conf(5) or the environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the limited sandbox mode is enabled, "make check" will execute
|
|
|
|
|
"make distribution", then install, execute the tests, and clean up the
|
|
|
|
|
sandbox if successful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "make distribution" and "make install" targets are typically run as
|
|
|
|
|
root to set appropriate permissions and ownership at installation time.
|
|
|
|
|
The end-user should set "WITH_INSTALL_AS_USER" in src.conf(5) or the
|
|
|
|
|
environment if executing "make check" with limited sandbox mode using
|
|
|
|
|
an unprivileged user.

Since the switch to GPT disk labels, fsck for UFS/FFS has been

Filesystems created with a newfs of this vintage or later

created for your filesystem, you can do so by running fsck in
|
2018-01-12 17:33:20 +00:00

foreground mode (i.e., do not use the -p or -y options). As it
|
2017-08-09 05:21:57 +00:00

The FreeBSD/powerpc platform now uses a 64-bit type for time_t. This is
|
|
|
|
|
a very major ABI incompatible change, so users of FreeBSD/powerpc must
|
|
|
|
|
be careful when performing source upgrades. It is best to run
|
|
|
|
|
'make installworld' from an alternate root system, either a live
|
|
|
|
|
CD/memory stick, or a temporary root partition. Additionally, all ports
|
|
|
|
|
must be recompiled. powerpc64 is largely unaffected, except in the case
|
|
|
|
|
of 32-bit compatibility. All 32-bit binaries will be affected.

Forward compatibility for the "ino64" project have been committed. This

|
|

|
will allow most new binaries to run on older kernels in a limited
|
|
|
|
|
fashion. This prevents many of the common foot-shooting actions in the
|
|
|
|
|
upgrade as well as the limited ability to roll back the kernel across
|
|
|
|
|
the ino64 upgrade. Complicated use cases may not work properly, though
|
2017-06-24 18:37:51 +00:00
|
|
|
enough simpler ones work to allow recovery in most situations.

from ports (and recommends to install it).

The ath(4) and ath_hal(4) modules now build piecemeal to allow for
|
|
|
|
|
smaller runtime footprint builds. This is useful for embedded systems
|
|
|
|
|
which only require one chipset support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you load it as a module, make sure this is in /boot/loader.conf:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if_ath_load="YES"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will load the HAL, all chip/RF backends and if_ath_pci.
|
|
|
|
|
If you have if_ath_pci in /boot/loader.conf, ensure it is after
|
|
|
|
|
if_ath or it will not load any HAL chipset support.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to selectively load things (eg on ye cheape ARM/MIPS
|
|
|
|
|
platforms where RAM is at a premium) you should:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* load ath_hal
|
|
|
|
|
* load the chip modules in question
|
|
|
|
|
* load ath_rate, ath_dfs
|
|
|
|
|
* load ath_main
|
|
|
|
|
* load if_ath_pci and/or if_ath_ahb depending upon your particular
|
|
|
|
|
bus bind type - this is where probe/attach is done.

The "ino64" 64-bit inode project has been committed, which extends
|
2017-05-24 17:11:10 +00:00
|
|
|
a number of types to 64 bits. Upgrading in place requires care and
|
|
|
|
|
adherence to the documented upgrade procedure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If using a custom kernel configuration ensure that the
|
|
|
|
|
COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option is included (as during the upgrade the
|
|
|
|
|
system will be running the ino64 kernel with the existing world).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the safest in-place upgrade begin by removing previous build
|
2019-03-09 17:17:59 +00:00
|
|
|
artifacts via "rm -rf /usr/obj/*". Then, carefully follow the full
|
|
|
|
|
procedure documented below under the heading "To rebuild everything and
|
|
|
|
|
install it on the current system." Specifically, a reboot is required
|
|
|
|
|
after installing the new kernel before installing world. While an
|
|
|
|
|
installworld normally works by accident from multiuser after rebooting
|
|
|
|
|
the proper kernel, there are many cases where this will fail across this
|
|
|
|
|
upgrade and installworld from single user is required.

As of r316810 for ipfilter, keep frags is no longer assumed when

keep state is specified in a rule. r316810 aligns ipfilter with

documentation in man pages separating keep frags from keep state.
|
2017-04-14 12:54:39 +00:00

The ctl.ko module no longer implements the iSCSI target frontend:
|
|
|
|
|
cfiscsi.ko does instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If building cfiscsi.ko as a kernel module, the module can be loaded
|
|
|
|
|
via one of the following methods:
|
|
|
|
|
- `cfiscsi_load="YES"` in loader.conf(5).
|
|
|
|
|
- Add `cfiscsi` to `$kld_list` in rc.conf(5).
|
|
|
|
|
- ctladm(8)/ctld(8), when compiled with iSCSI support
|
|
|
|
|
(`WITH_ISCSI=yes` in src.conf(5))
|

|

- Add support for eMMC "partitions". Besides the user data area, i. e.
the default partition, eMMC v4.41 and later devices can additionally
provide up to:
1 enhanced user data area partition
2 boot partitions
1 RPMB (Replay Protected Memory Block) partition
4 general purpose partitions (optionally with a enhanced or extended
attribute)
Of these "partitions", only the enhanced user data area one actually
slices the user data area partition and, thus, gets handled with the
help of geom_flashmap(4). The other types of partitions have address
space independent from the default partition and need to be switched
to via CMD6 (SWITCH), i. e. constitute a set of additional "disks".
The second kind of these "partitions" doesn't fit that well into the
design of mmc(4) and mmcsd(4). I've decided to let mmcsd(4) hook all
of these "partitions" up as disk(9)'s (except for the RPMB partition
as it didn't seem to make much sense to be able to put a file-system
there and may require authentication; therefore, RPMB partitions are
solely accessible via the newly added IOCTL interface currently; see
also below). This approach for one resulted in cleaner code. Second,
it retains the notion of mmcsd(4) children corresponding to a single
physical device each. With the addition of some layering violations,
it also would have been possible for mmc(4) to add separate mmcsd(4)
instances with one disk each for all of these "partitions", however.
Still, both mmc(4) and mmcsd(4) share some common code now e. g. for
issuing CMD6, which has been factored out into mmc_subr.c.
Besides simply subdividing eMMC devices, some Intel NUCs having UEFI
code in the boot partitions etc., another use case for the partition
support is the activation of pseudo-SLC mode, which manufacturers of
eMMC chips typically associate with the enhanced user data area and/
or the enhanced attribute of general purpose partitions.
CAVEAT EMPTOR: Partitioning eMMC devices is a one-time operation.
- Now that properly issuing CMD6 is crucial (so data isn't written to
the wrong partition for example), make a step into the direction of
correctly handling the timeout for these commands in the MMC layer.
Also, do a SEND_STATUS when CMD6 is invoked with an R1B response as
recommended by relevant specifications. However, quite some work is
left to be done in this regard; all other R1B-type commands done by
the MMC layer also should be followed by a SEND_STATUS (CMD13), the
erase timeout calculations/handling as documented in specifications
are entirely ignored so far, the MMC layer doesn't provide timeouts
applicable up to the bridge drivers and at least sdhci(4) currently
is hardcoding 1 s as timeout for all command types unconditionally.
Let alone already available return codes often not being checked in
the MMC layer ...
- Add an IOCTL interface to mmcsd(4); this is sufficiently compatible
with Linux so that the GNU mmc-utils can be ported to and used with
FreeBSD (note that due to the remaining deficiencies outlined above
SANITIZE operations issued by/with `mmc` currently most likely will
fail). These latter will be added to ports as sysutils/mmc-utils in
a bit. Among others, the `mmc` tool of the GNU mmc-utils allows for
partitioning eMMC devices (tested working).
- For devices following the eMMC specification v4.41 or later, year 0
is 2013 rather than 1997; so correct this for assembling the device
ID string properly.
- Let mmcsd.ko depend on mmc.ko. Additionally, bump MMC_VERSION as at
least for some of the above a matching pair is required.
- In the ACPI front-end of sdhci(4) describe the Intel eMMC and SDXC
controllers as such in order to match the PCI one.
Additionally, in the entry for the 80860F14 SDXC controller remove
the eMMC-only SDHCI_QUIRK_INTEL_POWER_UP_RESET.

add iic interface to ig4 driver, move isl and cyapa to iicbus
Summary:
The hardware does not expose a classic SMBus interface.
Instead it has a lower level interface that can express a far richer
I2C protocol than what smbus offers. However, the interface does not
provide a way to explicitly generate the I2C stop and start conditions.
It's only possible to request that the stop condition is generated
after transferring the next byte in either direction. So, at least
one data byte must always be transferred.
Thus, some I2C sequences are impossible to generate, e.g., an equivalent
of smbus quick command (<start>-<slave addr>-<r/w bit>-<stop>).
At the same time isl(4) and cyapa(4) are moved to iicbus and now they use
iicbus_transfer for communication. Previously they used smbus_trans()
interface that is not defined by the SMBus protocol and was implemented
only by ig4(4). In fact, that interface was impossible to implement
for the typical SMBus controllers like intpm(4) or ichsmb(4) where
a type of the SMBus command must be programmed.
The plan is to remove smbus_trans() and all its uses.
As an aside, the smbus_trans() method deviates from the standard,
but perhaps backwards, FreeBSD convention of using 8-bit slave
addresses (shifted by 1 bit to the left). The method expects
7-bit addresses.
There is a user facing consequence of this change.
A user must now provide device hints for isl and cyapa that specify an iicbus to use
and a slave address on it.
On Chromebook hardware where isl and cyapa devices are commonly found
it is also possible to use a new chromebook_platform(4) driver that
automatically configures isl and cyapa devices. There is no need to
provide the device hints in that case,
Right now smbus(4) driver tries to discover all slaves on the bus.
That is very dangerous. Fortunately, the probing code uses smbus_trans()
to do its job, so it is really enabled for ig4 only.
The plan is to remove that auto-probing code and smbus_trans().

In the TCP stack, the hhook(9) framework provides hooks for kernel modules
to add actions that run when a TCP frame is sent or received on a TCP
session in the ESTABLISHED state. In the base tree, this functionality is
only used for the h_ertt module, which is used by the cc_cdg, cc_chd, cc_hd,
and cc_vegas congestion control modules.
Presently, we incur overhead to check for hooks each time a TCP frame is
sent or received on an ESTABLISHED TCP session.
This change adds a new compile-time option (TCP_HHOOK) to determine whether
to include the hhook(9) framework for TCP. To retain backwards
compatibility, I added the TCP_HHOOK option to every configuration file that
already defined "options INET". (Therefore, this patch introduces no
functional change. In order to see a functional difference, you need to
compile a custom kernel without the TCP_HHOOK option.) This change will
allow users to easily exclude this functionality from their kernel, should
they wish to do so.
Note that any users who use a custom kernel configuration and use one of the
congestion control modules listed above will need to add the TCP_HHOOK
option to their kernel configuration.

installing to /boot/modules instead of /boot/kernel. Many kernel

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

The FAST_DEPEND build option has been removed and its functionality is
|
|
|
|
|
now the one true way. The old mkdep(1) style of 'make depend' has

|
|
been removed. See 20160311 for further details.

Use uintmax_t (typedef'd to rman_res_t type) for rman ranges.
On some architectures, u_long isn't large enough for resource definitions.
Particularly, powerpc and arm allow 36-bit (or larger) physical addresses, but
type `long' is only 32-bit. This extends rman's resources to uintmax_t. With
this change, any resource can feasibly be placed anywhere in physical memory
(within the constraints of the driver).
Why uintmax_t and not something machine dependent, or uint64_t? Though it's
possible for uintmax_t to grow, it's highly unlikely it will become 128-bit on
32-bit architectures. 64-bit architectures should have plenty of RAM to absorb
the increase on resource sizes if and when this occurs, and the number of
resources on memory-constrained systems should be sufficiently small as to not
pose a drastic overhead. That being said, uintmax_t was chosen for source
clarity. If it's specified as uint64_t, all printf()-like calls would either
need casts to uintmax_t, or be littered with PRI*64 macros. Casts to uintmax_t
aren't horrible, but it would also bake into the API for
resource_list_print_type() either a hidden assumption that entries get cast to
uintmax_t for printing, or these calls would need the PRI*64 macros. Since
source code is meant to be read more often than written, I chose the clearest
path of simply using uintmax_t.
Tested on a PowerPC p5020-based board, which places all device resources in
0xfxxxxxxxx, and has 8GB RAM.
Regression tested on qemu-system-i386
Regression tested on qemu-system-mips (malta profile)
Tested PAE and devinfo on virtualbox (live CD)

WITH_FAST_DEPEND is now enabled by default for in-tree and out-of-tree

On amd64, clang 3.8.0 can now insert sections of type AMD64_UNWIND into

|
|
please install the boot loaders after you install the kernel, but before

|
|
|
|
rebooting, e.g.:
|

make buildworld

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

architectures e.g. i386, it now warns if KSTACK_PAGES is less than

Please consider using 'options KSTACK_PAGES=X' where X is greater

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

Huge cleanup of random(4) code.
* GENERAL
- Update copyright.
- Make kernel options for RANDOM_YARROW and RANDOM_DUMMY. Set
neither to ON, which means we want Fortuna
- If there is no 'device random' in the kernel, there will be NO
random(4) device in the kernel, and the KERN_ARND sysctl will
return nothing. With RANDOM_DUMMY there will be a random(4) that
always blocks.
- Repair kern.arandom (KERN_ARND sysctl). The old version went
through arc4random(9) and was a bit weird.
- Adjust arc4random stirring a bit - the existing code looks a little
suspect.
- Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit
functions to do these tasks.
- Redo read_random(9) so as to duplicate random(4)'s read internals.
This makes it a first-class citizen rather than a hack.
- Move stuff out of locked regions when it does not need to be
there.
- Trim RANDOM_DEBUG printfs. Some are excess to requirement, some
behind boot verbose.
- Use SYSINIT to sequence the startup.
- Fix init/deinit sysctl stuff.
- Make relevant sysctls also tunables.
- Add different harvesting "styles" to allow for different requirements
(direct, queue, fast).
- Add harvesting of FFS atime events. This needs to be checked for
weighing down the FS code.
- Add harvesting of slab allocator events. This needs to be checked for
weighing down the allocator code.
- Fix the random(9) manpage.
- Loadable modules are not present for now. These will be re-engineered
when the dust settles.
- Use macros for locks.
- Fix comments.

it against blatant by compress/hashing.

habit of tweaking kernel configs, and/or if you are a member
|
Huge cleanup of random(4) code.
* GENERAL
- Update copyright.
- Make kernel options for RANDOM_YARROW and RANDOM_DUMMY. Set
neither to ON, which means we want Fortuna
- If there is no 'device random' in the kernel, there will be NO
random(4) device in the kernel, and the KERN_ARND sysctl will
return nothing. With RANDOM_DUMMY there will be a random(4) that
always blocks.
- Repair kern.arandom (KERN_ARND sysctl). The old version went
through arc4random(9) and was a bit weird.
- Adjust arc4random stirring a bit - the existing code looks a little
suspect.
- Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit
functions to do these tasks.
- Redo read_random(9) so as to duplicate random(4)'s read internals.
This makes it a first-class citizen rather than a hack.
- Move stuff out of locked regions when it does not need to be
there.
- Trim RANDOM_DEBUG printfs. Some are excess to requirement, some
behind boot verbose.
- Use SYSINIT to sequence the startup.
- Fix init/deinit sysctl stuff.
- Make relevant sysctls also tunables.
- Add different harvesting "styles" to allow for different requirements
(direct, queue, fast).
- Add harvesting of FFS atime events. This needs to be checked for
weighing down the FS code.
- Add harvesting of slab allocator events. This needs to be checked for
weighing down the allocator code.
- Fix the random(9) manpage.
- Loadable modules are not present for now. These will be re-engineered
when the dust settles.
- Use macros for locks.
- Fix comments.

of the embedded community, wanting specific and not-usual
|
|
|
|
|
behaviour from your security subsystems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE!! If you use RANDOM_DUMMY and/or have no 'device
|
|
|
|
|
random', you will NOT have a functioning /dev/random, and
|
|
|
|
|
many cryptographic features will not work, including SSH.
|
|
|
|
|
You may also find strange behaviour from the random(3) set
|
|
|
|
|
of library functions, in particular sranddev(3), srandomdev(3)
|
|
|
|
|
and arc4random(3). The reason for this is that the KERN_ARND
|
|
|
|
|
sysctl only returns entropy if it thinks it has some to
|
|
|
|
|
share, and with RANDOM_DUMMY or no 'device random' this
|
|
|
|
|
will never happen.

On any standard FreeBSD 10.x or 11.x installation, where clang and
|
|
|
|
|
libc++ are on by default (that is, on x86 or arm), this should work out
|
|
|
|
|
of the box.
|
2014-12-30 22:46:20 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 9.x installations where clang is enabled by default, e.g. on x86 and
|
|
|
|
|
powerpc, libc++ will not be enabled by default, so libc++ should be
|
|
|
|
|
built (with clang) and installed first. If both clang and libc++ are
|
|
|
|
|
missing, build clang first, then use it to build libc++.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 8.x and earlier installations, upgrade to 9.x first, and then follow
|
|
|
|
|
the instructions for 9.x above.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Sparc64 and mips users are unaffected, as they still use gcc 4.2.1 by
|
|
|
|
|
default, and do not build clang.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many embedded systems are resource constrained, and will not be able to
|
|
|
|
|
build clang in a reasonable time, or in some cases at all. In those
|
|
|
|
|
cases, cross building bootable systems on amd64 is a workaround.

This new version of clang introduces a number of new warnings, of which
|
|
|
|
|
the following are most likely to appear:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Wabsolute-value
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This warns in two cases, for both C and C++:
|
|
|
|
|
* When the code is trying to take the absolute value of an unsigned
|
|
|
|
|
quantity, which is effectively a no-op, and almost never what was
|
|
|
|
|
intended. The code should be fixed, if at all possible. If you are
|
|
|
|
|
sure that the unsigned quantity can be safely cast to signed, without
|
|
|
|
|
loss of information or undefined behavior, you can add an explicit
|
|
|
|
|
cast, or disable the warning.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When the code is trying to take an absolute value, but the called
|
|
|
|
|
abs() variant is for the wrong type, which can lead to truncation.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to disable the warning instead of fixing the code, please
|
|
|
|
|
make sure that truncation will not occur, or it might lead to unwanted
|
|
|
|
|
side-effects.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Wtautological-undefined-compare and
|
|
|
|
|
-Wundefined-bool-conversion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These warn when C++ code is trying to compare 'this' against NULL, while
|
|
|
|
|
'this' should never be NULL in well-defined C++ code. However, there is
|
|
|
|
|
some legacy (pre C++11) code out there, which actively abuses this
|
|
|
|
|
feature, which was less strictly defined in previous C++ versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Squid and openjdk do this, for example. The warning can be turned off
|
|
|
|
|
for C++98 and earlier, but compiling the code in C++11 mode might result
|
|
|
|
|
in unexpected behavior; for example, the parts of the program that are
|
|
|
|
|
unreachable could be optimized away.

The old NFS client and server (kernel options NFSCLIENT, NFSSERVER)

|
kernel sources have been removed. The .h files remain, since some
|
|
|

|
utilities include them. This will need to be fixed later.
|
|
|
|
|
If "mount -t oldnfs ..." is attempted, it will fail.
|

If the "-o" option on mountd(8), nfsd(8) or nfsstat(1) is used,
|
|

vt(4), the new console driver, is enabled by default. It brings
|
|
|
|
|
support for Unicode and double-width characters, as well as
|
|
|
|
|
support for UEFI and integration with the KMS kernel video
|
|
|
|
|
drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf,
|
|
|
|
|
most probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will
|
|
|
|
|
indicate what you need to do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to

syscons(4). See the wiki for up-to-date information:

The libatf-c and libatf-c++ major versions were downgraded to 0 and
|
|
|
|
|
1 respectively to match the upstream numbers. They were out of
|
|
|
|
|
sync because, when they were originally added to FreeBSD, the
|
|
|
|
|
upstream versions were not respected. These libraries are private
|
|
|
|
|
and not yet built by default, so renumbering them should be a
|
|
|
|
|
non-issue. However, unclean source trees will yield broken test
|
|
|
|
|
programs once the operator executes "make delete-old-libs" after a
|
|

"make installworld".

path to the old binary so they will break after "make delete-old"

is run.

/etc/src.conf now affects only builds of the FreeBSD src tree. In the
|
|
|
|
|
past, it affected all builds that used the bsd.*.mk files. The old
|
|
|
|
|
behavior was a bug, but people may have relied upon it. To get this
|
|
|
|
|
behavior back, you can .include /etc/src.conf from /etc/make.conf
|
|
|
|
|
(which is still global and isn't changed). This also changes the
|
|
|
|
|
behavior of incremental builds inside the tree of individual
|
2014-06-24 16:10:48 +00:00
|
|
|
directories. Set MAKESYSPATH to ".../share/mk" to do that.

Although this has survived make universe and some upgrade scenarios,

2014-05-06 15:44:34 +00:00
|

other upgrade scenarios may have broken. At least one form of
|
|
|
|
|
temporary breakage was fixed with MAKESYSPATH settings for buildworld
|
2014-06-24 16:10:48 +00:00
|
|
|
as well... In cases where MAKESYSPATH isn't working with this
|
|
|
|
|
setting, you'll need to set it to the full path to your tree.

building ex(1), vi(1), etc. Older releases of FreeBSD required ex(1)
|
|
|

in order to reorder files share/termcap and didn't build ex(1) as a

The uart(4) driver has been changed with respect to its handling
|
|
|
|
|
of the low-level console. Previously the uart(4) driver prevented
|
|
|
|
|
any process from changing the baudrate or the CLOCAL and HUPCL
|
|
|
|
|
control flags. By removing the restrictions, operators can make
|
|
|
|
|
changes to the serial console port without having to reboot.
|
|
|
|
|
However, when getty(8) is started on the serial device that is
|
|
|
|
|
associated with the low-level console, a misconfigured terminal
|
|
|
|
|
line in /etc/ttys will now have a real impact.

Before upgrading the kernel, make sure that /etc/ttys has the

|
serial console device configured as 3wire without baudrate to
|
2014-04-05 22:28:46 +00:00
|

preserve the previous behaviour. E.g:

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

General Notes
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
2009-09-03 17:04:42 +00:00
|
|
|
Avoid using make -j when upgrading. While generally safe, there are
|
|
|
|
|
sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with
|
2009-12-25 21:14:34 +00:00
|
|
|
-j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there
|
2009-09-03 17:04:42 +00:00
|
|
|
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).
|
2000-09-04 03:18:01 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2002-01-26 21:33:07 +00:00
|
|
|
Sometimes, obscure build problems are the result of environment
|
|
|
|
|
poisoning. This can happen because the make utility reads its
|
2009-09-03 17:04:42 +00:00
|
|
|
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 if you encounter problems with a major version upgrade. Since
|
2018-01-12 17:33:20 +00:00
|
|
|
the stable 4.x branch point, one has generally been able to upgrade from
|
2016-10-19 13:45:51 +00:00
|
|
|
anywhere in the most recent stable branch to head / current (or even the
|
|
|
|
|
last couple of stable branches). See the top of this file when there's
|
|
|
|
|
an exception.

|
|
|
When upgrading a live system, having a root shell around before
|
2013-04-20 23:33:51 +00:00
|
|
|
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.

This file should be read as a log of events. When a later event changes
|
|
|
|
|
information of a prior event, the prior event should not be deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
Instead, a pointer to the entry with the new information should be
|
|
|
|
|
placed in the old entry. Readers of this file should also sanity check
|
|
|
|
|
older entries before relying on them blindly. Authors of new entries
|
|
|
|
|
should write them with this in mind.

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
|
2014-11-09 20:43:50 +00:00
|
|
|
partition (freebsd-boot) of a GPT partitioned drive ada0:
|
|
|
|
|
"gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada0"
|

If you are updating from a prior version of FreeBSD (even one just

2005-09-09 15:59:17 +00:00
|
|
|
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,

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
|
|
|
|
|
|
2000-08-10 05:14:31 +00:00

|
|
To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.

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.
|
2000-06-14 15:42:50 +00:00
|
|

2000-08-06 22:16:34 +00:00
|
|
|
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

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
|
2010-03-10 05:44:57 +00:00
|
|
|
for potential gotchas. The -U option is also useful to consider.

|

See mergemaster(8) for more information.

[5] Usually this step is a no-op. However, from time to time
|
2002-04-19 04:22:35 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2013-04-25 21:19:50 +00:00
|
|
|
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] The new kernel must be able to run existing binaries used by an
|
|
|
|
|
installworld. When upgrading across major versions, the new kernel's
|
|
|
|
|
configuration must include the correct COMPAT_FREEBSD<n> option for
|
|
|
|
|
existing binaries (e.g. COMPAT_FREEBSD11 to run 11.x binaries). Failure
|
|
|
|
|
to do so may leave you with a system that is hard to boot to recover. A
|
|
|
|
|
GENERIC kernel will include suitable compatibility options to run
|
|
|
|
|
binaries from older branches. Note that the ability to run binaries
|
|
|
|
|
from unsupported branches is not guaranteed.

|
|
|
|
2004-09-04 21:03:10 +00:00
|
|
|
Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
|
2019-03-09 17:17:44 +00:00
|
|
|
last time you updated your kernel config file. Options also
|
|
|
|
|
change over time, so you may need to adjust your custom kernels
|
|
|
|
|
for these as well.

[9] If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
|
2004-09-04 21:03:10 +00:00
|
|
|
"?=" 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.
