This draws a line in the sand of removing support for 32-bit worlds and kernels aside from COMPAT_FREEBSD32 and lib32 support. The project may choose to alter this approach when 15.0 is released by extending some level of 32-bit support in 15.0 or later. In particular, at present there is a fair bit of interest in retaining armv7 support in 15.0 at least. Reviewed by: brooks Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41164

41582f28ddf7:
|
|
FreeBSD 15.0 will not include support for 32-bit platforms.
|
|
However, 64-bit systems will still be able to run older 32-bit
|
|
binaries.
|
|
|
|
Support for executing 32-bit binaries on 64-bit platforms via
|
|
COMPAT_FREEBSD32 will remain supported for at least the
|
|
stable/15 and stable/16 branches.
|
|
|
|
Support for compiling individual 32-bit applications via
|
|
`cc -m32` will also be supported for at least the stable/15
|
|
branch which includes suitable headers in /usr/include and
|
|
libraries in /usr/lib32.
|
|
|
|
Support for 32-bit platforms in ports for 15.0 and later
|
|
releases is also deprecated, and these future releases may not
|
|
include binary packages for 32-bit platforms or support for
|
|
building 32-bit applications from ports.
|
|
|
|
stable/14 and earlier branches will retain existing 32-bit
|
|
kernel and world support. Ports will retain existing support
|
|
for building ports and packages on 32-bit systems on stable/14
|
|
and earlier branches as long as those branches are supported
|
|
by the ports system. However, all 32-bit platforms are Tier-2
|
|
or Tier-3 and support for individual ports should be expected
|
|
to degrade as upstreams deprecate 32-bit platforms.
|
|
|
|
With the current support schedule, stable/14 will be EOLed 5
|
|
years after the release of 14.0. The EOL of stable/14 would
|
|
mark the end of support for 32-bit platforms including source
|
|
releases, pre-built packages, and support for building
|
|
applications from ports. Given an estimated release date of
|
|
October 2023 for 14.0, support for 32-bit platforms would end
|
|
in October 2028.
|
|
|
|
The project may choose to alter this approach when 15.0 is
|
|
released by extending some level of 32-bit support for one or
|
|
more platforms in 15.0 or later. Users should use the
|
|
stable/14 branch to migrate off of 32-bit platforms.
|
|
|
|
3cb2f5f369ec:
|
|
The lua-flavored loader(8) will now interpret .lua files that appear in
|
|
loader_conf_files as lua, and execute them in a sandbox. Existing
|
|
loader environment variables are available as globals in the sandbox,
|
|
and any global variable set, if not a table value, will be reflected in
|
|
the loader environment upon successful execution of the configuration
|
|
file. Environment variables with names that aren't valid lua names may
|
|
be accessed as indices of _ENV; e.g., _ENV['net.fibs'].
|
|
|
|
bdc81eeda05d:
|
|
nda is now the default nvme device on all platforms. While nda creates
|
|
nvd links by default so fstab, etc continues to work, configuration
|
|
should be updated to the new nda devices.
|
|
|
|
To restore the old behavior, add hw.nvme.use_nvd=1 to loader.conf or
|
|
`options NVME_USE_NVD=1` to the kernel config. To disable the nvd
|
|
compatibility aliases, add kern.cam.nda.nvd_compat=0 to loader.conf.
|
|
|
|
bbb2d2ce4220:
|
|
Change pw (hence bsdinstall) not to move /home to /usr/home.
|
|
Previously, when creating the path to home directories, pw
|
|
would move any path in the root directory under /usr, creating
|
|
a symlink in root. In particular, the default /home would become
|
|
/usr/home. Now /home is at the top level by default. /usr/home
|
|
can be used explicitly.
|
|
|
|
3416e102c4e9:
|
|
Remove TI code from armv7 GENERIC kernel.
|
|
This code doesn't cope with newer DTS and hasn't in a long time so
|
|
support for TI armv7 platform (like BeagleBone and Pandaboard) is now
|
|
removed from GENERIC.
|
|
|
|
d198b8774d2c:
|
|
Add a new "fwget" utility.
|
|
The goal of this utility is to inspect the system for peripherals
|
|
that needs firmware and install the appropriate packages for them.
|
|
For now only pci subsystem is supported and only firmwares for Intel
|
|
and AMD GPUs are known.
|
|
|
|
896516e54a8c:
|
|
Add a new "syskrb5" mount option for Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
|
|
Without this patch, a Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mount must provide
|
|
a Kerberos credential for the client at mount time.
|
|
This patch uses a feature of NFSv4.1/4.2 called SP4_NONE, which
|
|
allows the state maintenance operations to be performed by any
|
|
authentication mechanism, so that these operations may be done via
|
|
AUTH_SYS instead of RPCSEC_GSS (KerberosV). As such, no Kerberos
|
|
credential is required at mount time.
|
|
See mount_nfs(8).
|
|
|
|
330aa8acdec7,ff2f1f691cdb:
|
|
Adds support for the SP4_MACH_CRED case for the
|
|
NFSv4.1/4.2 ExchangeID operation since the Linux
|
|
NFSv4.1/4.2 client is now using this for Kerberized mounts.
|
|
This change should only affect Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts.
|
|
The Linux Kerberized NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts currently work without
|
|
support for this because Linux will fall back to SP4_NONE,
|
|
but there is no guarantee this fallback will work forever.
|
|
|
|
7344856e3a6d and many others:
|
|
Add support so that nfsd(8), nfsuserd(8), mountd(8), gssd(8)
|
|
and rpc.tlsservd(8) can be run in an appropriately configured
|
|
vnet prison. The vnet prison must be on its own file system,
|
|
have the "allow.nfsd" jail parameter set on it and enforce_statfs
|
|
cannot be set to "0". Use of UDP and pNFS server configurations
|
|
are not permitted. (ie. The nfsd command line options "-u", "-p"
|
|
and "-m" are not supported.)
|
|
See jail(8), nfsd(8) and mountd(8).

|
|
sendmail has been updated to the latest upstream version (8.17.1).
|
|
|
|
4a30d7bb373c,d670a8f7c596,af01b4722577,4e240e55d818:
|
|
The growfs(7) script can now add a swap partition at the end of
|
|
the expansion area, and does so by default if there is no existing
|
|
swap. See growfs(7).
|
|
|
|
86edb11e7491:
|
|
llvm-objump is now always installed as objdump.
|
|
|
|
616f32ea6da7:
|
|
mta_start_script along with othermta rc.d script has been retired.
|
|
|
|
a67b925ff3e5:
|
|
The default mail transport agent is now dma(8) replacing sendmail.
|
|
|
|
22893e584032:
|
|
L3 filtering on if_bridge will do surprising things which aren't
|
|
fail-safe, so net.link.bridge.pfil_member and
|
|
net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge now default to zero.
|
|
|
|
f0bc4ed144fc:
|
|
A new DTrace provider, kinst, is introduced and documented in
|
|
dtrace_kinst(4). The provider allows kernel instructions to be traced,
|
|
similar to the FBT (function boundary tracing) provider except that all
|
|
instructions may be probed instead of logical entry and return
|
|
instructions. The provider is currently amd64-only.
|
|
|
|
0eea46fb1f83:
|
|
Removed telnetd.
|
|
|
|
981ef32230b2,33721eb991d8:
|
|
These commits make the use of NFSv4.1/4.2 mounts with the "intr"
|
|
mount option fairly usable, although not 100% correct, so long as
|
|
the "nolockd" mount option is used as well. See the mount_nfs(8)
|
|
manual page for more information.
|
|
|
|
b875d4f5ddcb,0685c73cfe88:
|
|
The NFSv4.1/4.2 client and server will now generate console messages
|
|
if sessions are broken, suggesting that users check to ensure
|
|
that the /etc/hostid strings are unique for all NFSv4.1/4.2 clients.
|
|
|
|
240afd8c1fcc:
|
|
makefs(8) has ZFS support; it can create a ZFS pool, backed by a
|
|
single disk vdev, containing one or more datasets populated from
|
|
the staging directory.
|
|
|
|
78ee8d1c4cda,f4f56ff43dbd:
|
|
The in-tree qat(4) driver has been replaced with Intel's QAT driver.
|
|
The new version provides additional interfaces to the chipset's
|
|
cryptographic and compression offload functionality.
|
|
|
|
This will have no visible change for most users; however, the new
|
|
driver does not support Atom C2000 chipsets. To preserve support for
|
|
those chipsets, the old driver has been renamed to qat_c2xxx and kept
|
|
in the tree. Users of qat(4) on C2000 hardware will thus need to
|
|
ensure that qat_c2xxx(4) is loaded instead of qat(4).
|
|
|
|
da5b7e90e740,5a8fceb3bd9f,7b0a665d72c0,13ec1e3155c7,318d0db5fe8a,1ae2c59bcf21:
|
|
Boottrace is a new kernel-userspace interface for capturing trace
|
|
events during system boot and shutdown. Event annotations are
|
|
present in:
|
|
|
|
- The boot and shutdown paths in the kernel
|
|
- Some key system utilities (init(8), shutdown(8), reboot(8))
|
|
- rc(8) scripts (via boottrace(8))
|
|
|
|
In contrast to other existing boot-time tracing facilities like TSLOG,
|
|
Boottrace focuses on the ease of use and is aimed primarily at system
|
|
administrators.
|
|
|
|
It is available in the default GENERIC kernel and can be enabled by
|
|
toggling a single sysctl(8) variable.
|
|
|
|
See boottrace(4) for more details.
|
|
|
|
05a1d0f5d7ac:
|
|
Kernel TLS offload now supports receive-side offload of TLS 1.3.
|
|
|
|
19dc64451179:
|
|
if_stf now supports 6rd (RFC5969).
|
|
|
|
c1d255d3ffdb, 3968b47cd974, bd452dcbede6:
|
|
Add WiFi 6 support to wpa.
|
|
|
|
ba48d52ca6c8,4ac3d08a9693,2533eca1c2b9:
|
|
The default bell tone is now 800Hz. It may be set with kbdcontrol
|
|
again. There's devd integration for people wishing to use their sound
|
|
cards for the beep.
|
|
|
|
92b3e07229ba:
|
|
net.inet.tcp.nolocaltimewait enabled by default. It prevents
|
|
creation of timewait entries for TCP connections that were
|
|
terminated locally.
|
|
|
|
d410b585b6f0:
|
|
sh(1) is now the default shell for the root user.
|
|
|
|
396851c20aeb:
|
|
libncursesw has been split into libtinfow and libncursesw, linker
|
|
scripts should make it transparent for consumers. pkg-config files
|
|
are also now installed to ease ports detecting the ncurses setup from
|
|
base.
|
|
|
|
a422084abbda:
|
|
LLVM's MemorySanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the
|
|
kmsan(9) manual page for more information.
|
|
|
|
38da497a4dfc:
|
|
LLVM's AddressSanitizer can now be used in amd64 kernels. See the
|
|
kasan(9) manual page for more information.
|
|
|
|
f39dd6a97844,23f24377b1a9,628bd30ab5a4:
|
|
One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream
|
|
(20210727). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been
|
|
either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include:
|
|
o Locale is no longer used for ranges
|
|
o Various bugs fixed
|
|
o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk
|
|
|
|
The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that
|
|
we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and
|
|
interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one
|
|
true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic
|
|
behavior.
|
|
|
|
A second change, less likely to be noticed, is the historic wart
|
|
if -Ft meaning to use hard tab characters as the field separator
|
|
is deprecated and will likely be removed in FreeBSD 14.
|
|
|
|
ee29e6f31111:
|
|
Commit ee29e6f31111 added a new sysctl called vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio
|
|
that can be used to increase the maximum I/O size for the NFS
|
|
server to any power of 2 up to 1Mbyte while the nfsd(8) is not running.
|
|
The FreeBSD NFS client can now be set to use a 1Mbyte I/O size
|
|
via the vfs.maxbcachebuf tunable and the Linux NFS client
|
|
can also do 1Mbyte I/O.
|
|
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf will need to be increased. A console
|
|
message will suggest a setting for it.
|
|
|
|
d575e81fbcfa:
|
|
gconcat(8) has added support for appending devices to the device
|
|
not present at creation time.
|
|
|
|
76681661be28:
|
|
Remove support for asymmetric cryptographic operations from
|
|
the kernel open cryptographic framework (OCF).
|
|
|
|
a145cf3f73c7:
|
|
The NFSv4 client now uses the highest minor version of NFSv4
|
|
supported by the NFSv4 server by default instead of minor version 0,
|
|
for NFSv4 mounts.
|
|
The "minorversion" mount option may be used to override this default.
|
