Release notes for FreeBSD 16.0.
|
|
|
|
This file describes new user-visible features, changes and updates relevant to
|
|
users of binary FreeBSD releases. Each entry should describe the change in no
|
|
more than several sentences and should reference manual pages where an
|
|
interested user can find more information. Entries should wrap after 80
|
|
columns. Each entry should begin with one or more commit IDs on one line,
|
|
specified as a comma separated list and/or range, followed by a colon and a
|
|
newline. Entries should be separated by a newline.
|
|
|
|
Changes to this file should not be MFCed.

b92b9da33006, 13d3bd165e22:
|
|
This patch allows vfs.nfsd.srvmaxio to be set to
|
|
a value as high as 4Mbytes. It is usually set
|
|
via the nfs_server_maxio variable in /etc/rc.conf.
|
|
|
|
4c486fe40267:
|
|
The multicast routing modules, ip_mroute and ip6_mroute, are now FIB-aware.
|
|
That is, there is a multicast routing table per FIB, rather than a global
|
|
table. One can run a multicast routing daemon within each FIB; the FIB of
|
|
the routing socket determines the corresponding multicast routing table.
|
|
|
|
5c2186b99254,628d7a3270b6:
|
|
When the sector size for an NVMe namespace changes, nda(4) now
|
|
reports this as a media change rather than a disk resize
|
|
event. nda(4) also no longer reports a disk resize event in
|
|
some cases when the namespace's size had not changed. nda(4)
|
|
also reprobes NVMe namespaces each time they are opened to
|
|
check for a new sector size or namespace size.
|
|
|
|
7a323f873662:
|
|
Remove the le(4) driver. This driver supported older 10Mbps
|
|
and 100Mbps Ethernet adapters. True hardware devices have not
|
|
been used in FreeBSD systems in many years, but the driver was
|
|
previously retained for use with MIPS QEMU virtual machines.
|
|
|
|
e51ef8ae490f:
|
|
Add initial support for instruction-based sampling (IBS)
|
|
performance counters on AMD processors to hwpmc(4).
|
|
|
|
d69fc3a9dc71:
|
|
The EFI boot loader now tries all ZFS pools found during
|
|
probing when looking for a boot pool. Previously it would try
|
|
only the first pool found.
|
|
|
|
4d5c434ed16e:
|
|
Use the BSD-licensed implementation of diff3 instead of GNU diff3
|
|
by default.
|
|
|
|
7f54c65abc67:
|
|
Update the smartpqi(4) driver to vendor version 14.4690.0.2008
|
|
- 15.2.0.2008. This includes support for new controllers and
|
|
renaming Microsemi to Microchip.
|
|
|
|
350c1232a57a:
|
|
nvmecontrol(8)'s telemetry-log now works reliably.
|
|
|
|
d14e018024bb,b125c4d13095,1322760fd127,0730a05cd383:
|
|
Permit both SCHED_ULE and SCHED_4BSD to be compiled into the
|
|
same kernel. The scheduler can be selected at boot time by
|
|
setting the kern.sched_name tunable to the scheduler name
|
|
("4BSD" or "ULE"). The default scheduler is ULE. This is
|
|
currently enabled in amd64 kernels by default.
|
|
|
|
90a7728cd890:
|
|
Update nuageinit to request configuration on all network
|
|
interfaces. nuageinit will now issue DHCP requests on all
|
|
network interfaces and request configuration data from the
|
|
first interface which successfully obtains a lease.
|
|
|
|
92ba9b2fe589:
|
|

|
|
about lock order reversals detailing when initial lock orders were
|
|
established.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
beab8b1ddf86:
|

bintrans(1) now supports the RFC2047 variant of quoted print
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
8b9775912cbc, 53b4ae3bf0f7:
|
|
Add support for an NFSv4 root file system.
|
|
Note that NFSv3 is still used for bootstrapping. See
|
|
"Diskless Operation with PXE" under "Advanced Networking" in the
|
|
FreeBSD Handbook. To configure an NFSv4 root fs, you will need
|
|
a line in /boot/loader.conf like boot.nfsroot.options="nfsv4" and
|
|
either a line in /etc/sysctl.conf like vfs.nfs.enable_uidtostring=1
|
|
or an additional line in /boot/loader.conf like
|
|
boot.nfsroot.user_domain="<user-domain>",
|
|
if you are running nfsuserd(8).
|
|
|
|
ab9257599a5:
|
|

|
|
have been removed.
|
|
|
|
af099eaa5ec:

|
|
vmm(4) man page for details.
|
|
|
|
c71354030a2:
|
|
Users wishing to use bhyve PCI passthrough in jails must create the
|
|
jail with the allow.vmm_ppt option configured.
|
|
|
|
4d707825bf62:
|
|
The pdwait(2) system call was added. It provides wait(2)-like
|
|
functionality for a process descriptor (see procdesc(4)).
|
|
|
|
5c2ee618d5ec:
|
|
The pdrfork(2) system call was added. It behaves like rfork(2) but
|
|
additionally returns a process descriptor (see procdesc(4)).
|
|
|
|
41ccf82b29f3, 591c7a08bf8a:
|
|
On arm64, memcpy(3), memmove(3) and memset(3) are now implemented using
|
|
the MOPS (Memory Operations) feature instructions when they are
|
|
implemented by the system.
|
|
|
|
3f0aea09689f:
|
|
posix_spawnattr_getexecfd_np(3) and posix_spawnattr_setexecfd_np(3)
|
|
functions were added to libc. The latter causes posix_spawn(3) to
|
|
call fexecve(2) on the specified file descriptor rather than executing
|
|
the file at the provided path.
|
|
|
|
fb4b0c911951:
|
|
witness(4) now prints additional information to the system console when
|
|
a lock order reversal is detected, making debugging such issues easier.
|
|
|
|
1322760fd127:
|
|
It is now possible to compile both the 4BSD and ULE schedulers into the
|
|
same kernel. The scheduler is selectable at boot-time using a tunable.
|
|
See the SCHEDULERS section of the tuning(7) man page for details.
|
|
|
|
627e126dbb07:
|
|
The default value of the net.inet6.ip6.connect_in6addr_wild has changed
|
|
to 0. This means that connecting to the all-zeroes IPv6 address no longer
|
|
implicitly results in a loopback connection.
|
|
|
|
afa70a8496e9:
|
|
The pthread_tryjoin_np(3) function was added to libthr(3). It provides
|
|
the same functionality as pthread_join(3) but returns instead of
|
|
blocking if the target thread has not yet exited.
|
|
|
|
ecc039be7fdd:
|
|
NanoBSD images can now be built as a non-root user.

|
|
Update smartpqi(4) to vendor version 14.4690.0.2008 - 15.2.0.2008
|
|
for the SmartArray storage controllers. This adds support for new
|
|
controllers, adds code that utilizes the new BIG_IOCTL_Command_struct
|
|
and allows the I/O buffer size for a single passthrough ioctl to be
|
|
stored as a 32 bit integer instead of the original 16 bit integer.
|
|
|
|
b0d997095022:
|
|
The pf firewall now supports passing IPv6 packets to divert(4)
|
|
sockets via divert-to actions.
|
|
|
|
0fa7b3bee72e, c71f18998e0b, 4162a419a475, f5a77dc8f8df:

|
|
supported on RISC-V.
|
|
|
|
8254b0dec02b3, bd55cbb50c588:
|
|
The mac(4) framework has been extended to support jail operations,
|
|
allowing a policy to constrain jail creation, modification, removal, and
|
|
attachment. Jails have additionally been made a first-class mac(4)
|
|
object, and a mac.label jail(8) property has been added to facilitate
|
|
administration of their labels.
|
|
|
|
c558eca47970:
|
|
The smartpqi(4) driver was updated to vendor version 4660.0.2002

|
|
Ethernet adapters (AQC107, AQC108, AQC109, AQC111, AQC112).
|
|
|
|
1a7151f79664:
|
|
A new CAM provider was added to dtrace. This enables tracing of I/O
|
|
requests through the CAM layer without relying on fragile function
|
|
boundary tracing. See dtrace_cam(4) for details.
|
|
|
|
b8c99e7d912f:
|
|
The tdestroy(3) function was added to libc. The tdestroy() function
|
|
destroys a whole search tree, freeing all allocated nodes.
|
|
|
|
4bf8ce037dc8:
|
|
The rge(4) driver was added, ported from OpenBSD. This provides
|
|
support for RealTek RTL8125, RTL8126 and RTL8127 PCIe Ethernet
|
|
controllers.
|
|
|
|
cbc6f7e941e4:

|
|
connections.
|
|
|
|

|
|
purposes by setting the <service>_audit_user rc.conf(5) variable.
|
|
|
|
dcb0790bad43:
|
|
A setaudit(8) utility was added to the base system. This provides a
|
|
simple command-line wrapper for the setaudit(2) and setaudit_addr(2)
|
|
system calls.
|
|
|
|
8e3fd450cc53, 949cff4dceff, 0e724de9ed6f, 9f49f436a9ec, e35191ccf3b3:

|
|
PF_INET.
|
|
|
|
4453ec5b8716b, 2a3b1641756a:
|
|
The reboot(8) and halt(8) commands now perform a graceful shutdown similar
|
|
to the shutdown(8) command including invoking rc.d scripts to shutdown
|
|
services. The fastboot(8) and fasthalt(8) commands still perform a "fast"
|
|
reboot or shutdown.
|
|
|
|
d9788eabffa4:
|
|
ipfilter cannot be used in a jail by default.
|
|

Support for NVMe/TCP offload on Chelsio T7 adapters. The nvmf_che(4)
|
|
module enables T7 adapters to process NVMe/TCP PDUs directly similar to
|
|
the PDU offload provided by cxgbei(4) for iSCSI.
|
