This tunable can be set - to -1 (default), 0 and - 1. The -1 is same as - the current behavior, which automatically - disables CLFLUSH on Intel CPUs without - CPUID_SS (this should occurr on Xen - only). You can specify 1 when this panic - happens on non-Intel CPUs (such as AMD's). Because disabling - CLFLUSH can reduce performance, you can try - with setting 0 on Intel CPUs - without SS to - use CLFLUSH feature. - - The &man.jail.8; subsystem has been updated. Changes include: - - - - A new virtualization container - named vimage has been implemented. This is - not enabled by default. To enable this, add the following - kernel options to your kernel configuration file and - rebuild the kernel: - - options VIMAGE - - Note that options SCTP in the - GENERIC kernel is not compatible with - options VIMAGE. This limitation will - be fixed in the next release. - - The vimage is a jail with a virtualized instance of - the &os; network stack. It can be created by using - &man.jail.8; command like this: - - &prompt.root; jail -c vnet name=vnet1 host.hostname=vnet1.example.net path=/ persist - - The vimage has own loopback interface and a separated - network stack including the L3 routing tables. Network - interfaces on the system can be moved by using - &man.ifconfig.8; option between the - different vimage jails and outside of them. - - Furthermore, the &man.epair.4; pseudo-interface driver - has been added to help communication between vimage jails. - It emulates a pair of back-to-back connected Ethernet - interfaces. For example, the following commands create an - interface pair of &man.epair.4;: - - &prompt.root; ifconfig epair0 create -epair0a -&prompt.root; ifconfig epair0a -epair0a: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 - ether 02:c0:64:00:07:0a -&prompt.root; ifconfig epair0b -epair0b: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 - ether 02:c0:64:00:08:0b - - The &man.epair.4; pseudo-interfaces and any physical - interfaces on the system can be moved between vimage jails - by using &man.ifconfig.8; option as - described above. Even after half of an &man.epair.4; pair - is moved, the back-to-back connection still valid and can - be used for inter-jail communication. - - Note that vimage is still considered as an - experimental feature. - - - - A jail can now have arbitrary named parameters similar - to environmental variables and the fixed jail parameters - in the previous releases have been replaced with them. - The jail name can now be used for identifying the jail in - &man.jexec.8; and &man.killall.1;. - - - - Multiple IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses per jail are now - supported. It is even possible to have jails without - an IP address at all, which basically gives one a chrooted - environment with restricted process view and no - networking. - - - - SCTP (&man.sctp.4;) with IPv6 in jails has been - implemented. - - - - Specific CPU binding by using &man.cpuset.1; has been - implemented. Note that the current implementation allows - the superuser inside of the jail to change the CPU - bindings specified. - - - - A &man.jail.8; can start with a specific route - FIB now. - - - - The &man.ddb.8; kernel debugger now supports a - show jails subcommand. - - - - Compatibility support which permits 32-bit jail - binaries to be used on 64-bit systems to manage jails has - been added. - - - - Note that both version numbers of - jail and prison in - the &man.jail.8; have been updated for the new - features. - - - - The &man.ksyms.4;, kernel symbol table - interface driver has been added. It creates a character - device /dev/ksyms and provides - read-only access to a snapshot of the kernel symbol - table. - - The &os; Linux emulation - layer has been updated to version 2.6.16 and the default Linux - infrastructure port is - emulators/linux_base-f10 (Fedora - 10). - - The &os;/&arch.arm; now - supports mini dump. - - The &os;/&arch.powerpc; now - supports kernel core dump. - - The &os; virtual memory - subsystem now supports fully transparent use of - superpages for application memory; - application memory pages are dynamically promoted to or - demoted from superpages without any modification to - application code. This change offers the benefit of large - page sizes such as improved virtual memory efficiency and - reduced TLB (translation lookaside buffer) misses without - downsides like application changes and virtual memory - inflexibility. This can be enabled by setting a loader tunable - vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled to - 1 and is enabled by default on - &arch.amd64;. - - The &man.ddb.8; kernel debugger now supports a - show mount subcommand. - - The &os; DTrace subsystem now supports a probe for - process execution. - - The &os; kernel virtual address - space has been increased to 6GB. This allows subsystems to use - larger virtual memory space than before. For example, the - &man.zfs.8; adaptive replacement cache (ARC) requires large - kernel memory space to cache file system data, so it benefits - from the increased address space. Note that the ceiling on - the kernel map size is now 60% of the size of physical memory - rather than an absolute quantity. - - The &man.kld.4; now supports installing 32-bit - system calls to the &os; syscall translation layer from kernel - modules. - - The &man.ktr.4; now supports a new KTR tracepoint in the - KTR_CALLOUT class to note when a callout - routine finishes executing. - - Types of variables used to track the amount of allocated - System V shared memory have been changed from - int to size_t. This - makes it possible to use more than 2 GB of memory for shared - memory segments on 64-bit architectures. Please note the new - BUGS section in &man.shmctl.2; and - /usr/src/UPDATING for limitations of this - temporary solution. - - The &man.sysctl.3; leaf nodes have a flag to tag - themselves as MPSAFE now. - - The &os; 32-bit system call translation layer now - supports installing 32-bit system calls for - VFS_AIO. - - The &man.clock.gettime.2; and the related system calls now - support a clock ID CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, - as defined in POSIX. - - The &man.cpuset.2; system call has been added. This is an - API for thread to CPU binding and CPU resource grouping and - assignment. - - The DTrace, a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework and - &man.dtrace.1; userland utility have been imported from - OpenSolaris. DTrace provides a powerful infrastructure to - permit administrators, developers, and service personnel to - concisely answer arbitrary questions about the behavior of the - operating system and user programs. - - The &man.ddb.4; kernel debugger now has an output capture - facility. Input and output from &man.ddb.4; can now be captured - to a memory buffer for later inspection using &man.sysctl.8; or - a textdump. The new capture command controls - this feature. - - The &man.ddb.4; debugger now supports a simple scripting - facility, which supports a set of named scripts consisting of a - set of &man.ddb.4; commands. These commands can be managed from - within &man.ddb.4; or with the use of the new &man.ddb.8; - utility. More details can be found in the &man.ddb.4; manual - page. - - The &man.ddb.4; ex command now supports - an mode which interprets and prints the - value at the requested address as a symbol. For example, - ex /S aio_swake - prints the name of the function currently registered in - via aio_swake hook. - - The &man.ddb.4; show conifhk command has - been added. This lists hooks currently waiting for completion - in run_interrupt_driven_config_hooks(). - - The &man.fcntl.2; system call now supports - F_DUP2FD command. This is equivalent to - &man.dup.2;, and compatible with the Sun Solaris and the IBM - AIX. - - The &os;'s &man.linux.4; ABI support now implements - sched_setaffinity() and - sched_getaffinity() using real CPU affinity - setting primitives. - - The &man.procstat.1; utility has been added. This is a - process inspection utility which provides some of the missing - functionality from &man.procfs.5; and new functionality for monitoring - and debugging specific processes. - - The client side functionality of &man.rpc.lockd.8; has been - implemented in the &os; kernel. This implementation provides the - correct semantics for &man.flock.2; style locks which are used - by the &man.lockf.1; command line tool and the &man.pidfile.3; - library. It also implements recovery from server restarts and - ensures that dirty cache blocks are written to the server before - obtaining locks (allowing multiple clients to use file locking - to safely share data). Also, a new kernel option - options NFSLOCKD has been added and enabled - by default. If the kernel support is enabled, &man.rpc.lockd.8; - automatically detects and uses the functionality. - - The &os; kernel now supports a new textdump format of kernel - dumps. A textdump provides higher-level information via - mechanically generated/extracted debugging output, rather than a - simple memory dump. This facility can be used to generate brief - kernel bug reports that are rich in debugging information, but - are not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely - synchronized source code. More information can be found in the - &man.textdump.4; manual page. - - The &man.wait4.2; system call now supports - flag to keep the process whose status - is returned in a waitable state and - which is equivalent to . - - The &os; kernel now has - initial support of binding interrupts to CPUs. - - The &man.sched.ule.4; scheduler is now the default - process scheduler in GENERIC - kernels. - - The sysctl - variables kern.features.compat_freebsd[456] - have been added. These are corresponding to the kernel options - COMPAT_FREEBSD[456]. - - - Boot Loader Changes - - The boot0 boot - loader now preserves volume ID at offset - 0x1b8 used in other operating systems - - The &man.boot0cfg.8; utility now supports a - new option to set the volume ID. - - The &man.loader.8; now - supports U-Boot support library. - - The &man.boot.8; now supports 4-byte volume ID that - certain versions of &windows; put into the MBR and invoking - PXE by pressing the F6 key on some supported BIOSes. - - The &man.boot.8; BTX loader has been - improved. This fixes several boot issues on recent machines - reported for 7.1-RELEASE and before. - - The &man.loader.8; is now able to obtain DHCP options - from network boot via &man.kenv.2; variables. - - A bug in the &man.loader.8; has been fixed. Now the - following line works as expected: - - loader_conf_files="foo bar ${variable}" - - The BTX kernel used by the boot - loader has been changed to invoke BIOS routines from real - mode. This change makes it possible to boot &os; from USB - devices. - - A new gptboot boot loader has - been added to support booting from a GPT labeled disk. A - new boot command has been added to - &man.gpt.8;, which makes a GPT disk bootable by writing the - required bits of the boot loader, creating a new boot - partition if required. - - - - Hardware Support - - The &os; now includes experimental support - for &arch.mips; platform. - - Support for RTC on Dallas Semiconductor chips - has been improved. The DS133x and DS1553 are now - supported. - - The &os;/&arch.arm; now supports - Feroceon and Sheeva embedded CPU, Marvell Orion (88F5281), - Kirkwood (88F6281), Discovery Innovation (MV-78100) - systems-on-chip CPU. - - The &os;/&arch.powerpc; now - supports SMP machines - - The &os;/&arch.powerpc; now - supports E500 (Book-E) embedded CPU and Freescale - PowerQUICCIII MPC85xx system-on-chip (including single and - dual-core). - - The &man.acpi.4; subsystem now supports the System - Resource Affinity Table (SRAT) used to describe affinity - relationships between CPUs and memory, ACPI 3.0 fields in - the MADT including X2APIC entries and UIDs for local SAPICs, and - ACPI 3.0 flags in the FADT. - - The &man.cpufreq.4; framework now - supports PowerPC G5, along with a skeleton SMU driver in order to slew - CPU voltage during frequency changes. - - The sec(4) driver has been added to provide - support for the integrated security engine found in - Freescale system-on-chip devices. - - The &os; TTY layer has been replaced with a - new one which has better support for SMP and robust resource - handling. A tty now has own mutex and it is expected to - improve scalability when compared to the old implementation - based on the Giant lock. - - The &man.uart.4; driver is now the - default driver for serial port devices in favor of the - &man.sio.4; driver. Note that the device nodes have been - renamed from - /dev/cuadN and - /dev/ttydN to - /dev/cuauN and - /dev/ttyuN. - - - Users who are upgrading will need to change their - kernel configurations and possibly also - /boot/loader.conf and - /boot/device.hints. - - - The &os; USB subsystem has been reimplemented - to support modern devices and better SMP scalability. The - new implementation includes Giant-lock-free device drivers, - a Linux compatibility layer, &man.usbconfig.8; utility, full - support for split transaction and isochronous transaction, - and more. Device node names for USB devices are now in a - the form - of /dev/usb/bus.dev.endpoint, - and /dev/usbctl is the master device - node. Note that the &man.ugen.4; driver has nodes for each device as /dev/ugenbus.dev for backward compatibility. - - &os; now supports Ultra SPARC III - (Cheetah) processor family. - - The &man.acpi.4; subsystem now supports a &man.sysctl.8; - variable debug.batt.batt_sleep_ms. On - some laptops with smart batteries, enabling battery - monitoring software causes keystrokes from &man.atkbd.4; to - be lost. This sysctl variable adds a delay in millisecond - to the status checking code as a workaround. - - The &man.acpi.asus.4; driver now supports Asus A8Sr - notebooks. - - Support for the AltiVec, a floating point - and integer SIMD instruction set has been added. - - The &man.cpuctl.4; driver, which provides a special - device /dev/cpuctl as an interface to - the system CPU has been added. The &man.cpuctl.4; - functionality includes the ability to retrieve CPUID - information, read/write machine specific registers (MSR), - and perform CPU firmware updates. - - The &man.cpufreq.4; driver now supports an - hw.est.msr_info loader tunable. When - this is set to 1, it attempts to build a - simple list containing just the high and low frequencies if - it cannot obtain a frequency list from either ACPI or the - static tables. This is disabled by default. - - CPU frequency change notifiers are now - disabled when the TSC is P-state invariant. Also, a new - loader tunable - kern.timecounter.invariant_tsc has been - added to force this behavior by setting it to - non-zero. - - The &man.atkbd.4; driver now disables the interrupt - handler which is called from the keyboard callback function - when polled mode is enabled. This fixes the problem of - duplicated/missing characters at the mountroot prompt on - multi CPU systems while &man.kbdmux.4; is enabled. - - In the &man.pci.4; subsystem INTx is now disabled when - MSI/MSIX is enabled. This change fixes interrupt storm - related issues. - - The schizo(4) driver for Schizo - Fireplane/Safari to PCI 2.1 and Tomatillo JBus to PCI 2.2 - bridges has been added. - - The &man.u3g.4; driver for USB based 3G cards and - dongles including Vodafone Mobile Connect Card 3G, Qualcomm - CDMA MSM, Huawei E220, Novatel U740, Sierra MC875U, and more - has been added. This provides support for the multiple - USB-to-serial interfaces exposed by many 3G USB/PC Card - modems, and the device is accessed through the &man.ucom.4; - driver which makes it behave like a &man.tty.4;. - - The &man.sched.ule.4; scheduler now supports - the loader tunable - machdep.hyperthreading_enabled just like - &man.sched.4bsd.4;. Note that it cannot be modified at - run-time. - - The &man.cmx.4; driver, a driver for Omnikey CardMan 4040 - PCMCIA smartcard readers, has been added. - - The &man.kbdmux.4; driver now - supports &arch.sparc64;. The &man.sunkbd.4; driver now - supports &man.atkbd.4; emulation like &man.ukbd.4;. - - The nvram(4) driver is now - MPSAFE. - - An option of the &man.puc.4; - driver, PUC_FASTINTR, is no longer - supported. - - The &man.psm.4; driver now attempts detection of Synaptics - touchpad before IntelliMouse. Some touchpads will pretend to - be IntelliMouse causing the IntelliMouse probe to work and the - Synaptics detection never to be done. - - The &man.uslcom.4; driver, a driver for Silicon - Laboratories CP2101/CP2102-based USB serial adapters, has been - imported from OpenBSD. - - - Multimedia Support - - The &os; audio subsystem has been improved. - The changes include volume per channel, high quality - fixed-point band-limited SINC sampling rate converter, - bit-perfect mode, transparent/adaptive virtual channel, - and exclusive stream. For more details, see the - &man.snd.4; manual page. - - The &man.agp.4; driver now supports Intel G4X series - graphics chipsets. - - The Direct Rendering Manager - (DRM), a kernel module that - gives direct hardware access to DRI clients, has been - updated. Support for AMD/ATI r500, r600, r700, and IGP - based chips, XGI V3XE/V5/V8, and Intel i915 chipsets has - been improved. - - A new loader tunable hw.drm.msi has - been added to control if DRM uses MSI or not. This is set - to 1 (enabled) by default. - - The snd_au88x0(4) driver for Aureal Vortex - 1/2/Advantage PCI has been removed because it has been - broken for a long time. - - The &man.snd.hda.4; driver has been updated. These - changes include support for multiple codecs per HDA bus, - multiple functional groups per codec, multiple audio - devices per functional group, digital (SPDIF/HDMI) audio - input/output, suspend/resume, and part of multichannel - audio. - - Note that due to added HDMI audio and - logical audio devices support, the updated driver often - provides several PCM devices. This means that in some - cases the system default audio device no longer - corresponds to the users's habitual audio connectors. In - such cases the default device can be specified in audio - applications' setup or defined globally via - hw.snd.default_unit sysctl variable, as - described in the &man.sound.4; manual page. - - The &man.agp.4; driver now supports the - Intel G33 and G45. - - The dpms(4) driver has - been added to use the VESA BIOS for DPMS during suspend and - resume. - - The DRM kernel driver now - supports i915 GME devices. - - - - Network Interface Support - - The &man.bwi.4; driver has been added to - provide support for Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11b/g wireless - network interfaces. - - The &man.cas.4; driver has - been added to provide support for Sun Cassini/Cassini+ and - National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit Ethernet - devices. - - The &man.cxgbtool.8; now supports an - interactive mode for scripting of repeatedly performed - tasks. - - The &man.fxp.4; driver has been improved.

New sysctl variables - dev.txp.N.process_limit - has been added, to control how many received frames should - be served in Rx handler (set to 64 by default and valid - ranges are 16 to 128 in unit of frames). The firmware has - been updated to the latest version. - - The &man.ae.4; driver has been added to provide - support for the Attansic/Atheros L2 FastEthernet - controllers. - - The &man.jme.4; driver has been added to - provide support for PCIe adapters based on JMicron JMC250 - gigabit Ethernet and JMC260 fast Ethernet controllers. - - The &man.age.4; driver has been added to - provide support for Attansic/Atheros L1 gigabit Ethernet - controller. - - The &man.malo.4; driver has been added to - provide support for Marvell Libertas 88W8335 based PCI network - adapters. - - The bm(4) driver has been added to - provide support for Apple Big Mac (BMAC) Ethernet controller, - found on various Apple G3 models. - - The et(4) driver has been added to - provide support for Agere ET1310 10/100/Gigabit Ethernet - controller. - - The &man.glxsb.4; driver has been added - to provide support for the Security Block in AMD Geode LX - processors. - - The &man.ale.4; driver has been added to provide support - for Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit/Fast Ethernet controllers. - This driver is not enabled in GENERIC - kernels for this release. - - The &man.em.4; driver has been split into two drivers - with some common parts. The &man.em.4; driver will continue - to support adapters up to the 82575, as well as new - client/desktop adapters. A new &man.igb.4; driver - will support new server adapters. - - The &man.hme.4; driver has been improved. - - A bug in some of the &man.miibus.4; supported drivers that - IEEE 802.3 auto-negotiation was performed in a wrong order, - has been fixed. Now it chooses the correct technologies - supported by IEEE 802.3 in the order described in Annex - 28B.3. - - A workaround has been added for a bug in TCP/UDP - hardware checksum offload of the &man.msk.4; driver for - short frames. Note that for frames that requires hardware - VLAN tag insertion, the checksum offload workaround does not - work due to changes of checksum offset in mbuf after the - VLAN tag. So disabling hardware checksum offload for the - VLAN interface is needed in such cases. - - The &man.ndis.4; NDIS miniport driver wrapper has been - improved. - - The &man.sf.4; driver has been improved and now supports - checksum offloading. - - The &man.stge.4; driver now supports WOL (Wake on - LAN). - - The &man.vr.4; driver has been improved. - - The &man.wpi.4; driver has - been updated to include a number of stability fixes. - - - - - Network Protocols - - The &os; netisr framework has been - reimplemented for parallel threading support. This is a - kernel network dispatch interface which allows device - drivers (and other packet sources) to direct packets to - protocols for directly dispatched or deferred processing. - The new implementation supports up to one netisr thread per - CPU, and several benchmarks on SMP machines show substantial - performance improvement over the previous version. - - A bug in the &man.gif.4; that EtherIP packets - sent by combination of &man.if.bridge.4; and &man.gif.4; - have a reversed version field has been fixed. If you need - to communicate with older &os; releases via EtherIP, use new - flags accept_rev_ethip_ver - and send_rev_ethip_ver to control - handling the reversed version field. These can be set by - &man.ifconfig.8 utility to &man.gif.4; interfaces. The - EtherIP implementation found on &os; 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.0, - 7.1, and 7.2 had an interoperability issue because it sent - the incorrect EtherIP packets and discarded the correct - ones. For more details, see &man.gif.4; manual page. - - The IGMPv3 and SSM (Source-Specific Multicast) - including IPv6 SSM and MLDv2 have been added. Although the - old KAME MLDv2 hooks have been replaced with the new - implementation, the related kernel programming interfaces have been - preserved. - - The multicast routing code has been improved - and the IPv4 and IPv6 support has been split. - - The &os; now supports the upcoming Wireless - Mesh standard, IEEE 802.11s. The current implementation is - based on the March 2009 D3.0 draft version. - - The wireless network support layer (net80211) - now uses pseudo-interfaces named as - wlanN instead - of a device driver name like em0 - directly. The - wlanN - interface is created by &man.ifconfig.8; as an instance of - the parent interface and used for actual communication - similar to &man.vlan.4, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN network interface. - Note that multiple instances (to realize multiple BSSes with - a single AP device, for example) can be created if the - parent interface supports it. For more details, see - &man.ifconfig.8; manual page. - - The net80211 layer now supports TDMA for long - distance point-to-point links using &man.ath.4; - devices. - - An infrastructure for caching flows as a means - of accelerating L2 and L3 lookups has been added. This is - called flow table and enabled by default on - &arch.amd64 and &arch.i386; platforms. This also provides - stateful load balancing when used - with RADIX_MPATH - - The &os; L2 address translation table has been - reimplemented to reduce lock contention on parallel - processing and simplify the routing logic. The new - implementation has L2 address translation tables for both - ARP (for IPv4) and NDP (for IPv6) which are separated from - the L3 routing tables, and supports flow table caches for both - the routing table and the L2 information. One of the - user-visible changes is that a concept of cloned route (a - route generated by an entry - with RTF_CLONING flag) is deprecated. - This means routing flags RTF_CLONING, - RTF_WASCLONE, - and RTF_LLINFO are obsolete. - - The &man.ipsec.4; subsystem now supports - NAT-Traversal (RFC 3948). This is disabled by default. To - enable this add the following kernel option and rebuild the - kernel: - - device crypto -options IPSEC -options IPSEC_NAT_T - - IPv4 source address selection for unbound sockets has - been implemented as follows: - - - - If we found a route, use the address corresponding - to the outgoing interface. - - - - Otherwise we assume the foreign address is reachable - on a directly connected network and try to find a - corresponding interface to take the source address - from. - - - - As a last resort use the default jail address. - - - - This also changes the semantics of selecting the IP for - processes within a &man.jail.8; as it now uses the same - logic as outside the &man.jail.8;. - - The TCP MD5 Signature Option (RFC 2385) for IPv6 has - been implemented in the same way it has been implemented for - IPv4. - - The &man.ng.netflow.4; Netgraph node now includes - support for generating egress netflow instead or in addition - to ingress. An NGM_NETFLOW_SETCONFIG - control message has been added to control the new - functionality. - - The &man.tap.4; Ethernet tunnel software network - interface now supports a new TAPGIFNAME - character device ioctl. This is a convenient shortcut to - obtain the network interface name using a file descriptor to - a character device. - - The &man.tap.4; now supports - SIOCSIFMTU ioctl to set a higher MTU than - 1500 (ETHERMTU). This allows &man.tap.4; devices to be - added to the same bridge (which requires all interface - members to have the same MTU) with an interface configured - for jumbo frames. - - The domains list for handling the list of supported - domains in the &man.unix.4; (UNIX domain protocol family) - subsystem is now MPSAFE. - - The &man.arp.8; utility now - supports reject - and blackhole keywords. In the entry - marked as reject, traffic to the host will - be discarded and the sender will be notified the host is - unreachable. In the entry marked as blackhole, - traffic is discarded but the sender is not notified. - - The &man.bpf.4; now supports an - ioctl BIOCSETFNR. This is just like - BIOCSETF, but it does not drop all the - packets buffered on the descriptor and reset the - statistics. - - The &man.if.bridge.4; interface can limit the - number of source MACs that can be behind a bridge interface - via ifmaxaddr parameter of - &man.ifconfig.8;. - - A bug in the &man.carp.4; interface configuration which - leads to a system panic has been fixed. - - The &man.dummynet.4; subsystem now supports - fast mode operation which allows certain - packets to bypass the dummynet scheduler. This can achieve - lower latency and lower overhead when the packet flow is under - the pipe bandwidth, and eliminate recursion in the subsystem. - The new sysctl variable - net.inet.ip.dummynet.io_fast has been - added to enable this feature. - - The &man.enc.4; interface now supports sysctl - variables to control whether the firewalls or &man.bpf.4; - will see inner and outer headers or just inner or outer - headers for incoming and outgoing IPsec packets. - - The &man.gre.4; now supports - ioctls GRESKEY - and GREGKEY which allows set or get GRE - key used for outgoing packets. - - A bug in the &man.ipsec.4; subsystem that PMTU was broken - in those cases when there was a route with a lower MTU than - the MTU of the outgoing interface, has been fixed. - - The netatm subsystem has been removed due to - lacking multiprocessor support. - - The &man.ng.nat.4; now supports redirect functionality - in libalias. For more details, see the - manual page. - - The &man.ng.pptpgre.4; now supports multiple hooks like - &man.ng.l2tp.4;, to use one pair of pptpgre and ksocket nodes for all - calls between two peers. - - The &man.resolver.3; now allows underscore in domain - names. Although this is a violation of RFC 1034 [STD 13], it is - accepted by certain name servers as well as other popular operating - systems' resolver library. - - A socket option TCP_CONGESTION for TCP - sockets has been added. This is for setting and retrieving the - congestion control algorithm. The name used is to allow - compatibility with Linux. - - The &man.rwlock.9; has been used throughout - the inpcbinfo and inpcb - infrastructure, and protocols that depend on that - infrastructure, including UDP, TCP, and IP raw sockets to - reduce the lock contentions. - - The &os; now supports multiple routing tables. To - enable this, the following steps are needed: - - - - Add the following kernel configuration option and - rebuild the kernel. The 2 is the number - of FIB (Forward Information Base, synonym for a routing - table here). The maximum value is 16. - - options ROUTETABLES=2 - - The procedure for rebuilding the &os; kernel is - described in the &os; - Handbook. - - This number can be modified on boot time. To do so, add - the following to /boot/loader.conf and - reboot the system: - - net.fibs=6 - - - - Set a loader tunable net.my_fibnum if - needed. This means the default number of routing tables. - If not specified, 0 will be used. - - - - Set a loader tunable - net.add_addr_allfibs if needed. This - enables to add routes to all FIBs for new interfaces by - default. When this is set to 0, it will - only allocate routes on interface changes for the FIB of the - caller when adding a new set of addresses to an interface. - Note that this tunable is set to 1 by - default. - - - - To select one of the FIBs, the new &man.setfib.1; utility - can be used. This set an associated FIB with the process. For - example: - - &prompt.root; setfib -3 ping target.example.com - - The FIB #3 will be used for the &man.ping.8; command. - - The FIB which the packet will be associated with will be - determined in the following rules: - - - - All packets which have a FIB associated with them will - use the FIB. If not, FIB #0 will be used. - - - - A packet received on an interface for forwarding uses - FIB #0. - - - - A TCP listen socket associated with an FIB will generate - accept sockets which are associated with the same FIB. - - - - A packet generated in response to other packet uses the - FIB associated with the packet being responded to. - - - - A packet generated on tunnel interfaces such as - &man.gif.4; and &man.tun.4; will be encapsulated using the - FIB of the process which set up the tunnel. - - - - Routing messages will be associated with the process's - FIB. - - - - Also, the &man.ipfw.8; now supports an action rule - setfib. The following action: - - setfib fibnum - - will make the matched packet use the FIB specified in - fibnum. The rule processing - continues at the next rule. - - - - Disks and Storage - - The &os; CAM SCSI subsystem (&man.cam.4;) now - includes experimental support for ATA/SATA/AHCI-compliant - devices. This is disabled by default. To enable this, - adding the following kernel options to your kernel - configuration file and rebuild the kernel: - - device ahci -device siis - - The current implementation supports - AHCI-compliant controllers and SiliconImage - SiI3124/SiI3132/SiI3531 controllers. The device node of an - ATA drive is ada and an ATAPI - drive is cd. - - The &os; iSCSI initiator implementation has - been improved and supports IPv6. - - A userland utility &man.mfiutil.8; for the - &man.mfi.4; devices has been added. This includes basic - features to monitor controller, array, and drive status, - change basic attributes, create/delete arrays and spares, - and flush the controller firmware. Note that this is a - small utility, not a replacement of MegaCLI in the Ports - Collection which is supported officially and provides more - functionality. - - A userland utility &man.mptutil.8; for the - &man.mpi.4; devices has been added. This includes basic - features to monitor controller, array, and drive status, - change basic attributes, and create/delete arrays and - spares. - - The &man.siis.4; driver has been added to - provide support for SiliconImage SiI3124/3132/3531 SATA2 - controllers. It supports Serial ATA and ATAPI devices, port - multipliers (including FIS-based switching), hardware - command queues (31 commands per port) and Native Command - Queuing. - - The &man.ata.4; driver now supports Marvell PATA M88SX6121. - - The &man.ata.4; driver now recognizes nForce MCP67 and - MCP73 SATA controllers as AHCI. - - The &man.ataraid.4; driver now includes preliminary support - for DDF metadata found on Adaptec HostRAID controllers. - Note that spares and rebuilds are not supported yet. - - The &man.cam.4; SCSI subsystem now supports a new sysctl - variable kern.cam.cd.retry_count. This - controls the number of retries for the CD media. When - trying to read scratched or damaged CDs and DVDs, the - default mechanism is sub-optimal, and programs like - ddrescue do much better if you - turn off the retries entirely since their algorithms do it - by themselves. This value is set to 4 - (for a total of 5 attempts) by default. Setting it to - 0 turns off all retry attempts. - - A bug in the &man.ciss.4; driver which caused low - max device openings count and led to poor - performance has been fixed. - - The &man.glabel.8; GEOM class now supports a new - UFS-based label called ufsid that can be - used to reference UFS-carrying devices by the unique file - system ID. This file system ID is automatically generated - and detected when the &man.glabel.8; GEOM class is enabled. An - example of this new label is: - /dev/ufsid/48e69c8b5c8e1b43. The - benefit of using GEOM labels in general is to avoid problems - of device renaming when shifting drives or - controllers. - - The &man.gjournal.8; GEOM class now supports the root - file system. Previously, an unclean shutdown would make it - impossible to mount the root file system at boot. - - The &man.gpart.8; utility has been updated. The APM - scheme now supports Tivo Series 1 partitions (read only), a - new EBR scheme to support Extended Boot Records has been - added, the BSD scheme now support bootcode, and bugs in the - PC98 and VTOC8 schemes have been fixed. - - An issue in &man.gvinum.8; with access permissions - to underlying disks used by a gvinum plex has been fixed. - If the plex is a raid5 plex and is being written to, parity data might - have to be read from the underlying disks, requiring them to be opened for - reading as well as writing. - - The &man.hptmv.4; driver has been updated to version - 1.16 from HighPoint. - - The &man.mmc.4; and &man.mmcsd.4; drivers now support MMC - and SDHC cards, high speed timing, wide bus, and multiblock - transfers. - - The &man.mpt.4; driver is now in the - GENERIC kernel. - - The &man.sdhci.4; driver has been added. This supports - PCI devices with class 8 and subclass 5 according to the SD - Host Controller Specification. - - The &man.sdhci.4; driver now supports kernel dumping and - a sysctl variable hw.sdhci.debug for debug - level. - - The &man.twa.4; driver now supports 64-bit DMA. - - The &man.mmc.4; &man.mmcsd.4;, and &man.sdhci.4; driver - are now included as kernel modules. - - The &man.aac.4; driver now supports 64-bit array support - for RAIDs larger than 2TB and simultaneous opens of the device - for issuing commands to the controller. - - The &man.ata.4; driver now supports a loader variable - hw.ata.ata_dma_check_80pin. This can be - used to disable the 80pin cable check on broken systems such - as certain laptops and Soekris boards. The default value is - 1. - - A data corruption problem of the &man.ata.4; driver on - ServerWorks HT1000 chipsets has been fixed. - - The &man.ciss.4; driver now supports a loader tunable - hw.ciss.nop_message_heartbeat for - NOP-message polling in ciss_periodic(). - This can be used as a workaround for - ADAPTER HEARTBEAT FAILED issue. - The default value is 0 (disabled). - - The geom_part GEOM class can be built - as a kernel module. - - The geom_linux_lvm GEOM class can be - built as a kernel module. - - The &man.hptrr.4; driver has been updated to version 1.2 - from Highpoint. - - A buffer overflow in the &man.iir.4; driver has been - fixed. This likely fixes a great number of weird problems - that have been reported with this driver. - - The &man.mpt.4; driver now supports mpt_user - personality. - - The &man.rr232x.4; driver has been superseded by - &man.hptrr.4; driver. - - The &man.twa.4; driver has been improved with regard to - stability on machines with a plenty of memory and high CPU - load. - - - - File Systems - - dangerously dedicated mode for - the UFS file system is no longer supported. - - - Such disks will need to be reformatted to work with - this release. - - - The &man.gvinum.8; now supports commands - found in the old vinum implementation including - attach, detach, - start, stop, - concat, mirror, - stripe, and - raid5. - - The &man.gvinum.8; now - supports grow command to make it easier - for users to extend plexes without having to understand all - of the implementation internals. - - The &os; NFS subsystem now - supports RPCSEC_GSS authentication on - both the client and server. This replaces the RPC - implementation of the NFS client and server with the newer - RPC implementation originally developed to support the NFS - Lock Manager. It supports both the new RPC implementation - and the older legacy implementation inherited from the - original NFS codebase and the default is to use the new one. - To use RPCSEC_GSS on either client or - server, you must build a kernel which includes - the KGSSAPI option and the &man.crypto.4; - device. For more details, see &man.gssd.8; manual - page. - - The &os; NFS subsystem now includes a new, - experimental implementation with support for NFSv2, NFSv3, and - NFSv4. This is not enabled by default. To enable this, add - the following kernel options to your kernel configuration - file and rebuild the kernel: - - options NFSCL # for NFS client -options NFSD # for NFS server - - The fstype for &man.mount.8; program is - newnfs, and &man.mount.newnfs.8; program - has also been added. The old, unmaintained NFSv4 client - based on an implementation from the University of Michigan was - removed from the &os; source tree. - - The &os; NFS subsystem now uses TCP as the - default transport. - - The shared vnode locking for pathname lookups - in the &man.VFS.9; subsystem has been improved. This is - enabled by default. Setting a sysctl variable - vfs.lookup_shared to 0 - disables it. Note that the - LOOKUP_SHARED kernel option equivalent to - the sysctl variable has been removed. - - The ZFS file system - has been updated to version 13. The changes include ZFS - operations by a regular user, L2ARC, ZFS Intent Log on - separated disks (slog), sparse volumes, and so on. - - The semantics of &man.acl.3; extended access control - lists has been changed as follows: - - - - The inode modification time (mtime) is not updated - when extended attributes are added, modified, or removed. - - - - The inode access time (atime) is not updated - when extended attributes are queried. - - - - The &os; NFS file system now supports a sysctl variable - vfs.nfs.prime_access_cache to determine - whether or not nfs_getattr() will use - an ACCESS RPC to prime the access cache instead of a simple - GETATTR RPC. This is because on many NFS servers an ACCESS - RPC is much more expensive to service than a GETATTR RPC for - files in an NFSv3 mount. The sysctl variable is enabled by - default to maintain the previous behavior. - - The &os; UDF file system now supports a fifo. - - The &man.fdescfs.5; is now MPSAFE. - - The &man.gpart.8; now supports BSD disklabels (option - GEOM_PART_BSD) and - VTOC8 disklabels (option - GEOM_PART_VTOC8). - - The &man.gvinum.8; now accepts volume - parameter when creating a plex. - - A pathname lookup bug of a UNIX domain socket in the - unionfs(7) has been fixed. - - - - - Userland Changes - - The GCC stack protection (also known as - ProPolice) has been enabled in the &os; base system. - - A BSD-licensed &man.ar.1; utility has been added - in favor of one in GNU binutils and - it is now the default utility for building the &os; base - system. - - The &man.awk.1; utility now supports 64 files. - The upper limit was 20 in prior releases. - - The &man.bsnmpd.1; program now supports OIDs - for ZFS. - - The &man.camcontrol.8; program now supports a - new modularized ATA kernel module and various ATA - commands. - - The &man.cat.1; and &man.cp.1; now use a larger - buffer if the number of pages of the physical memory on the - system is grater than 32k. This reduces the number of context - switches. - - A new BSD-licensed &man.cpio.1; utility has been - added in favor of GNU cpio and it - is now the default utility in the &os; base system. - - A script for the &man.crashinfo.8; utility for - simple analysis of crash dump has been added. It generates a - text file containing the output of several commands run against - the core dump such as &man.kgdb.1; (stack trace), &man.ps.1;, - &man.netstat.1;, - &man.vmstat.8;, - &man.iostat.8;, - &man.dmesg.8;, - and - &man.fstat.1;. - - The &man.df.1; utility's - flag now supports displaying inode counts in a human-readable - format when a flag is specified. - - The &man.df.1; utility now supports - a flag to display file system type in each - entry. - - A bug in the &man.dhclient.8; that can create a - malformed /etc/resolv.conf has been - fixed. - - The &man.dhclient.8; now uses an - flag when invoking &man.route.8; command. - This eliminates a long delay in the case that it gets a lease - but DNS service is not working. - - The &man.dhclient.8; utility now - uses 68 (bootpc) as the source port for - unicast DHCPREQUEST packets instead of - allowing the protocol stack to pick a random source port. - This fixes the behavior where &man.dhclient.8; would never - transition from RENEWING - to BOUND without going - through REBINDING in some networks which - has a tight policy on DHCP spoofing. - - The &man.env.1; utility now supports a - option - that completely unsets the given name instead of setting it to - a null value. - - The &man.find.1; utility now supports a number - of primaries found in GNU find - including , - , - , , - , , - , , - , , - , , - , and . - - The &man.fsck.8; utility now supports a - flag to free up excess unused inodes. - Decreasing the number of preallocated inodes reduces the - running time of future runs of fsck and frees up space that - can allocated to files. This flag is ignored when running in - preen mode. - - The &man.freebsd-update.8; now supports backing - up the old kernel when installing a new kernel. The backup - kernel will be written - to /boot/kernel.old if the directory does - not exist or the directory was created by freebsd-update in a - previous backup. Otherwise the &man.freebsd-update.8; will - generate a new directory name for use by the backup. This is - enabled by default. - - The &man.gdbserver.1; now supports &arch.arm; - and &arch.powerpc; platforms. - - The &man.gpt.8; program has been removed in - favor of &man.gpart.8;. - - The &man.gzip.1; utility now supports - uncompressing files which are created - by pack found in some commercial - UNIX-like systems. - - The &man.i2c.8; utility for diagnostics of I2C has - been added. - - The &man.ifconfig.8; now - supports and - option to allow moving interfaces between jails with - vimage. - - A BSD-licensed libdwarf - library has been added for DTrace clients. - - The libmsun library now supports - acosl(), - asinl(), - atanl(), - atan2l(), - cargl(), - csqrtl(), - fmodl(), - hypotl(), - and - remquol() - functions. - - The libproc - library has been added for DTrace clients. - - The &man.mtest.8; utility now supports IPv6. - - The &man.mount.8; program now supports - an option - to allow an alternative program to be used for mounting a file - system. This is useful for non-&man.nmount.2; based file - systems such as FUSE. - - The &man.nfscbd.8;, &man.nfsuserd.8;, - &man.nfsdumpstate.8;, and &man.nfsrevoke.8; utilities for the - new NFSv4 subsystem has been added. - - The &man.pmcannotate.8; utility has been added. - This prints out sources of a tool (in C or assembly) with - inlined profiling informations retrieved by a prior - &man.pmcstat.8; analysis. - - The &man.route.8; utility now - supports show, - weights, and sticky - commands. For more details, see the &man.route.8; manual - page. - - The &man.rtld.1; now supports a new - environment variable LD_ELF_HINTS_PATH for - overriding the rtld hints file. This environment variable - would be ignored if the process uses setuid and/or setgid. - This feature gives a convenient way to use a custom set of - shared library that is not in the default location. - - The &man.rtld.1; now supports the dynamic - string token substitution in the rpath and soneeded pathes.
