1 Introduction

+ +

This document contains the hardware compatibility notes for FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE. It +lists the hardware platforms supported by FreeBSD, as well as the various types of +hardware devices (storage controllers, network interfaces, and so on), along with known +working instances of these devices.

+ +

2 Supported Processors and System +Boards

+ +

This section provides some architecture-specific information about the specific +processors and systems that are supported by each architecture.

+ +

2.1 amd64

+ +

Since mid-2003 FreeBSD/amd64 has supported the AMD64 (“Hammer”) and Intel® EM64T architecture, and is now one of the Tier-1 +platforms (fully supported architecture), which are expected to be Production Quality +with respects to all aspects of the FreeBSD operating system, including installation and +development environments.

+ +

Note that there are two names for this architecture, AMD64 (AMD) and Intel EM64T +(Extended Memory 64-bit Technology). 64-bit mode of the two architectures are almost +compatible with each other, and FreeBSD/amd64 should support them both.

+ +

As of this writing, the following processors are supported:

+ +

+
AMD Athlon™64 +(“Clawhammer”).
+
+
AMD Opteron™ +(“Sledgehammer”).
+
+
All multi-core Intel Xeon™ processors except Sossaman have EM64T support.
+
+
The single-core Intel Xeon processors “Nocona”, “Irwindale”, +“Potomac”, and “Cranford” have EM64T support.
+
+
All Intel Core 2 (not Core Duo) and later +processors
+
+
All Intel Pentium® D +processors
+
+
Intel Pentium 4s and +Celeron Ds using the “Cedar Mill” core have EM64T support.
+
+
Some Intel Pentium 4s +and Celeron Ds using the “Prescott” core have EM64T support. See the Intel Processor Spec Finder for +the definitive answer about EM64T support in Intel processors.
+

+ +

Intel EM64T is an extended version of IA-32 (x86) and +different from Intel IA-64 (Itanium) architecture, which +FreeBSD/ia64 supports. Some Intel's old documentation +refers to Intel EM64T as “64-bit extension +technology” or “IA-32e”.

+ +

The largest tested memory configuration to date is 32GB. SMP support has been recently +completed and is reasonably robust.

+ +

In many respects, FreeBSD/amd64 is similar to FreeBSD/i386, in terms of drivers +supported. There may be some issues with 64-bit cleanliness in some (particularly older) +drivers. Generally, drivers that already function correctly on other 64-bit platforms +should work.

+ +

FreeBSD/amd64 is a very young platform on FreeBSD. While the core FreeBSD kernel and +base system components are generally fairly robust, there are likely to still be rough +edges, particularly with third party packages.

+ +

2.2 i386

+ +

FreeBSD/i386 runs on a wide variety of “IBM PC compatible” machines. Due +to the wide range of hardware available for this architecture, it is impossible to +exhaustively list all combinations of equipment supported by FreeBSD. Nevertheless, some +general guidelines are presented here.

+ +

Almost all i386™-compatible processors with a +floating point unit are supported. All Intel processors +beginning with the 80486 are supported, including the 80486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, and variants thereof, such as the Xeon and Celeron® processors. +All i386-compatible AMD processors are also supported, +including the Am486®, Am5x86®, K5, AMD-K6® (and +variants), AMD Athlon (including Athlon-MP, +Athlon-XP, Athlon-4, and Athlon Thunderbird), and AMD Duron™ processors. The AMD Élan SC520 +embedded processor is supported. The Transmeta Crusoe is recognized and supported, as are +i386-compatible processors from Cyrix and NexGen.

+ +

There is a wide variety of motherboards available for this architecture. Motherboards +using the ISA, VLB, EISA, AGP, and PCI expansion busses are well-supported. There is some +limited support for the MCA (“MicroChannel”) expansion bus used in the IBM +PS/2 line of PCs.

+ +

Symmetric multi-processor (SMP) systems are generally supported by FreeBSD, although +in some cases, BIOS or motherboard bugs may generate some problems. Perusal of the +archives of the FreeBSD symmetric multiprocessing mailing list may yield some +clues.

+ +

FreeBSD will take advantage of HyperThreading (HTT) support on Intel CPUs that support this feature. A kernel with the options SMP feature enabled will automatically detect the +additional logical processors. The default FreeBSD scheduler treats the logical +processors the same as additional physical processors; in other words, no attempt is made +to optimize scheduling decisions given the shared resources between logical processors +within the same CPU. Because this naive scheduling can result in suboptimal performance, +under certain circumstances it may be useful to disable the logical processors with the +the machdep.hlt_logical_cpus sysctl variable. It is also +possible to halt any CPU in the idle loop with the machdep.hlt_cpus sysctl variable. The +smp(4) manual +page has more details.

+ +

FreeBSD will take advantage of Physical Address Extensions (PAE) support on CPUs that +support this feature. A kernel with the PAE feature enabled will +detect memory above 4 gigabytes and allow it to be used by the system. This feature +places constraints on the device drivers and other features of FreeBSD which may be used; +consult the +pae(4) manpage +for more details.

+ +

FreeBSD will generally run on i386-based laptops, albeit with varying levels of +support for certain hardware features such as sound, graphics, power management, and +PCCARD expansion slots. These features tend to vary in idiosyncratic ways between +machines, and frequently require special-case support in FreeBSD to work around hardware +bugs or other oddities. When in doubt, a search of the archives of the FreeBSD +laptop computer mailing list may be useful.

+ +

Most modern laptops (as well as many desktops) use the Advanced Configuration and +Power Management (ACPI) standard. FreeBSD supports ACPI via the ACPI Component +Architecture reference implementation from Intel, as +described in the +acpi(4) manual +page. The use of ACPI causes instabilities on some machines and it may be necessary to +disable the ACPI driver, which is normally loaded via a kernel module. This may be +accomplished by adding the following line to /boot/device.hints:

+ +

+hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
+

+ +

Users debugging ACPI-related problems may find it useful to disable portions of the +ACPI functionality. The +acpi(4) manual +page has more information on how to do this via loader tunables.

+ +

ACPI depends on a Differentiated System Descriptor Table (DSDT) provided by each +machine's BIOS. Some machines have bad or incomplete DSDTs, which prevents ACPI from +functioning correctly. Replacement DSDTs for some machines can be found at the DSDT section of the +ACPI4Linux project Web site. +FreeBSD can use these DSDTs to override the DSDT provided by the BIOS; see the +acpi(4) manual +page for more information.

+ +

2.3 ia64

+ +

Currently supported processors are the Itanium® and the Itanium 2.

+ +

Supported chipsets include:

+ +

+
HP zx1
+
+
Intel 460GX
+
+
Intel E8870
+

+ +

Both Uniprocessor (UP) and Symmetric Multi-processor (SMP) configurations are +supported.

+ +

Most devices that can be found in or are compatible with ia64 machines are fully +supported. The notable exception is the VGA console. The FreeBSD support for VGA consoles +is at this time too much based on PC hardware and not all ia64 machines have chipsets +that provide sufficient PC legacy support. As such +syscons(4) can +not be enabled and the use of a serial console is required.

+ +

2.4 pc98

+ +

NEC PC-9801/9821 series with almost all i386-compatible +processors, including 80486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, and +variants. All i386-compatible processors by AMD, Cyrix, +IBM, and IDT are also supported.

+ +

NEC FC-9801/9821 series, and NEC SV-98 series (both of them are compatible with +PC-9801/9821 series) should be supported.

+ +

EPSON PC-386/486/586 series, which are compatible with NEC PC-9801 series are +supported.

+ +

High-resolution mode is not supported. NEC PC-98XA/XL/RL/XL^2, and NEC PC-H98 series +are supported in normal (PC-9801 compatible) mode only.

+ +

Although there are some multi-processor systems (such as Rs20/B20), SMP-related +features of FreeBSD are not supported yet.

+ +

PC-9801/9821 standard bus (called C-Bus), PC-9801NOTE expansion bus (110pin), and PCI +bus are supported. New Extend Standard Architecture (NESA) bus (used in PC-H98, SV-H98, +and FC-H98 series) is not supported.

+ +

2.5 powerpc

+ +

The information for this paragraph has yet to be compiled.

+ +

2.6 sparc64

+ +

This section describes the systems currently known to be supported by FreeBSD on the +UltraSPARC® platform. For background information on +the various hardware designs see the Sun System Handbook.

+ +

SMP is supported on all systems with more than 1 processor.

+ +

In general, FreeBSD/sparc64 systems must use serial consoles. While it is possible to +boot or install a system using the OpenFirmware console, the console device is not +usable.

+ +

If you have a system that is not listed here, it may not have been tested with FreeBSD +7.2-RELEASE. We encourage you to try it and send a note to the FreeBSD +SPARC porting mailing list with your results, including which devices work and which +do not.

+ +

+
+
Sun Ultra 10
+
+

+

+ +

The following systems are partially supported by FreeBSD. In particular the onboard +SCSI controller in sbus systems is not supported.

+ +

+
Sun Enterprise 3500
+
+
Sun Enterprise 4500
+

+ +

The following systems are not supported by FreeBSD. This may be due to lack of +processor support (UltraSPARC III), due to a quirk in the +system design that makes FreeBSD unstable, or due to lack of support for sufficient +onboard devices to make FreeBSD generally useful.

+ +

+
All systems containing UltraSPARC III processor(s).
+

+ +

3 Supported Devices

+ +

This section describes the devices currently known to be supported by FreeBSD. Other +configurations may also work, but simply have not been tested yet. Feedback, updates, and +corrections to this list are encouraged.

+ +

Where possible, the drivers applicable to each device or class of devices is listed. +If the driver in question has a manual page in the FreeBSD base distribution (most +should), it is referenced here. Information on specific models of supported devices, +controllers, etc. can be found in the manual pages.

+ +

+
Note: The device lists in this document are being generated automatically from +FreeBSD manual pages. This means that some devices, which are supported by multiple +drivers, may appear multiple times.

+
+
This document gives a brief introduction to FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE. It includes some +information on how to obtain FreeBSD, a listing of various ways to contact the FreeBSD +Project, and pointers to some other sources of information.
+
+

+ +

1 Introduction

+ +

This distribution is a release of FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE, the latest point along the +7.2-STABLE branch.

+ +

1.1 About FreeBSD

+ +

FreeBSD is an operating system based on 4.4 BSD Lite for AMD64 and Intel EM64T based +PC hardware (amd64), Intel, AMD, Cyrix or NexGen “x86” based PC hardware +(i386), Intel Itanium Processor based computers (ia64), NEC PC-9801/9821 series PCs and +compatibles (pc98), and UltraSPARC® machines +(sparc64). Versions for the PowerPC® (powerpc), and +MIPS® (mips) architectures are currently under +development as well. FreeBSD works with a wide variety of peripherals and configurations +and can be used for everything from software development to games to Internet Service +Provision.

+ +

This release of FreeBSD contains everything you need to run such a system, including +full source code for the kernel and all utilities in the base distribution. With the +source distribution installed, you can literally recompile the entire system from scratch +with one command, making it ideal for students, researchers, or users who simply want to +see how it all works.

+ +

A large collection of third-party ported software (the “Ports Collection”) +is also provided to make it easy to obtain and install all your favorite traditional +UNIX® utilities for FreeBSD. Each “port” +consists of a set of scripts to retrieve, configure, build, and install a piece of +software, with a single command. Over 20,000 ports, from editors to programming languages +to graphical applications, make FreeBSD a powerful and comprehensive operating +environment that extends far beyond what's provided by many commercial versions of UNIX. Most ports are also available as pre-compiled +“packages”, which can be quickly installed from the installation program.

+ +

1.2 Target Audience

+ +

This release of FreeBSD is suitable for all users. It has undergone a period of +testing and quality assurance checking to ensure the highest reliability and +dependability.

+ +

2 Obtaining FreeBSD

+ +

FreeBSD may be obtained in a variety of ways. This section focuses on those ways that +are primarily useful for obtaining a complete FreeBSD distribution, rather than updating +an existing installation.

+ +

2.1 CDROM and DVD

+ +

FreeBSD -RELEASE distributions may be ordered on CDROM or DVD from several publishers. +This is frequently the most convenient way to obtain FreeBSD for new installations, as it +provides a convenient way to quickly reinstall the system if necessary. Some +distributions include some of the optional, precompiled “packages” from the +FreeBSD Ports Collection, or other extra material.

+ +

A list of the CDROM and DVD publishers known to the project are listed in the “Obtaining FreeBSD” appendix to the Handbook.

+ +

2.2 FTP

+ +

You can use FTP to retrieve FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/, which is the +official FreeBSD release site, or any of its “mirrors”.

+ +

Lists of locations that mirror FreeBSD can be found in the FTP Sites section of the Handbook, or on the http://mirrorlist.FreeBSD.org/ +Web pages. Finding a close (in networking terms) mirror from which to download the +distribution is highly recommended.

+ +

Additional mirror sites are always welcome. Contact <freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org> for +more details on becoming an official mirror site. You can also find useful information +for mirror sites at the Mirroring +FreeBSD article.

+ +

Mirrors generally contain the ISO images generally used to create a CDROM of a FreeBSD +release. They usually also contain floppy disk images (for applicable platforms), as well +as the files necessary to do an installation over the network. Finally mirrors sites +usually contain a set of packages for the most current release.

+ +

3 Contacting the FreeBSD +Project

+ +

3.1 Email and Mailing Lists

+ +

For any questions or general technical support issues, please send mail to the FreeBSD +general questions mailing list.

+ +

If you're tracking the 7.2-STABLE development efforts, you must join the FreeBSD-CURRENT mailing list, in order to keep abreast of recent +developments and changes that may affect the way you use and maintain the system.

+ +

Being a largely-volunteer effort, the FreeBSD Project is always happy to have extra +hands willing to help--there are already far more desired enhancements than there is time +to implement them. To contact the developers on technical matters, or with offers of +help, please send mail to the FreeBSD +technical discussions mailing list.

+ +

Please note that these mailing lists can experience significant amounts of traffic. If you have slow or expensive +mail access, or are only interested in keeping up with major FreeBSD events, you may find +it preferable to subscribe instead to the FreeBSD +announcements mailing list.

+ +

All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing to do so. Visit the FreeBSD Mailman Info +Page. This will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing +archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at special interest groups +not mentioned here; more information can be obtained either from the Mailman pages or the +mailing lists +section of the FreeBSD Web site.

+ +

+
Important: Do not send +email to the lists asking to be subscribed. Use the Mailman interface instead.
+

+ +

3.2 Submitting Problem Reports

+ +

Suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always valued--please do not +hesitate to report any problems you may find. Bug reports with attached fixes are of +course even more welcome.

+ +

The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with Internet mail +connectivity is to use the +send-pr(1) +command. “Problem Reports” (PRs) submitted in this way will be filed and +their progress tracked; the FreeBSD developers will do their best to respond to all +reported bugs as soon as possible. A list of all active +PRs is available on the FreeBSD Web site; this list is useful to see what potential +problems other users have encountered.

+ +

Note that +send-pr(1) +itself is a shell script that should be easy to move even onto a non-FreeBSD system. +Using this interface is highly preferred. If, for some reason, you are unable to use +send-pr(1) to +submit a bug report, you can try to send it to the FreeBSD +problem reports mailing list.

+ +

For more information, “Writing FreeBSD Problem Reports”, available on the FreeBSD +Web site, has a number of helpful hints on writing and submitting effective problem +reports.

+ +

There are many sources of information about FreeBSD; some are included with this +distribution, while others are available on-line or in print versions.

+ +

4.1 Release +Documentation

+ +

A number of other files provide more specific information about this release +distribution. These files are provided in various formats. Most distributions will +include both ASCII text (.TXT) and HTML (.HTM) renditions. Some distributions may also include other formats +such as Portable Document Format (.PDF).

+ +

+
README.TXT: This file, which gives some general information +about FreeBSD as well as some cursory notes about obtaining a distribution.
+
+
RELNOTES.TXT: The release notes, showing what's new and +different in FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE compared to the previous release (FreeBSD +7.1-RELEASE).
+
+
HARDWARE.TXT: The hardware compatibility list, showing +devices with which FreeBSD has been tested and is known to work.
+
+
ERRATA.TXT: Release errata. Late-breaking, post-release +information can be found in this file, which is principally applicable to releases (as +opposed to snapshots). It is important to consult this file before installing a release +of FreeBSD, as it contains the latest information on problems which have been found and +fixed since the release was created.
+

+ +
+
+

On platforms that support +sysinstall(8) +(currently amd64, i386, ia64, pc98, and sparc64), these documents are generally available +via the Documentation menu during installation. Once the system is installed, you can +revisit this menu by re-running the +sysinstall(8) +utility.

+ +

+
Note: It is extremely important to read the errata for any given release before +installing it, to learn about any “late-breaking news” or post-release +problems. The errata file accompanying each release (most likely right next to this file) +is already out of date by definition, but other copies are kept updated on the Internet +and should be consulted as the “current errata” for this release. These other +copies of the errata are located at http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/ (as well as any sites which keep +up-to-date mirrors of this location).
+

+ +

4.2 Manual Pages

+ +

As with almost all UNIX like operating systems, FreeBSD +comes with a set of on-line manual pages, accessed through the +man(1) command +or through the hypertext +manual pages gateway on the FreeBSD Web site. In general, the manual pages provide +information on the different commands and APIs available to the FreeBSD user.

+ +

In some cases, manual pages are written to give information on particular topics. +Notable examples of such manual pages are +tuning(7) (a +guide to performance tuning), +security(7) (an +introduction to FreeBSD security), and +style(9) (a +style guide to kernel coding).

+ +

4.3 Books and Articles

+ +

Two highly-useful collections of FreeBSD-related information, maintained by the +FreeBSD Project, are the FreeBSD Handbook and FreeBSD FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions +document). On-line versions of the Handbook and FAQ are +always available from the FreeBSD Documentation page or its mirrors. If you install the doc distribution set, you can use a Web browser to read the +Handbook and FAQ locally. In particular, note that the Handbook contains a step-by-step +guide to installing FreeBSD.

+ +

A number of on-line books and articles, also maintained by the FreeBSD Project, cover +more-specialized, FreeBSD-related topics. This material spans a wide range of topics, +from effective use of the mailing lists, to dual-booting FreeBSD with other operating +systems, to guidelines for new committers. Like the Handbook and FAQ, these documents are +available from the FreeBSD Documentation Page or in the doc +distribution set.

+ +

A listing of other books and documents about FreeBSD can be found in the bibliography of the FreeBSD Handbook. Because of FreeBSD's strong UNIX heritage, many other articles and books written for UNIX systems are applicable as well, some of which are also +listed in the bibliography.

+ +

5 +Acknowledgments

+ +

FreeBSD represents the cumulative work of many hundreds, if not thousands, of +individuals from around the world who have worked countless hours to bring about this +release. For a complete list of FreeBSD developers and contributors, please see “Contributors to FreeBSD” on the FreeBSD Web site or any of +its mirrors.

+ +

Special thanks also go to the many thousands of FreeBSD users and testers all over the +world, without whom this release simply would not have been possible.

This file, and other release-related documents, can be +downloaded from ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/.

1 Introduction

+ +

This document contains the release notes for FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE. It describes +recently added, changed, or deleted features of FreeBSD. It also provides some notes on +upgrading from previous versions of FreeBSD.

+ +

This distribution of FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE is a release distribution. It can be found at +ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/ or any of its +mirrors. More information on obtaining this (or other) release distributions of FreeBSD +can be found in the “Obtaining FreeBSD” appendix to the FreeBSD +Handbook.

+ +

All users are encouraged to consult the release errata before installing FreeBSD. The +errata document is updated with “late-breaking” information discovered late +in the release cycle or after the release. Typically, it contains information on known +bugs, security advisories, and corrections to documentation. An up-to-date copy of the +errata for FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE can be found on the FreeBSD Web site.

+ +

2 What's New

+ +

This section describes the most user-visible new or changed features in FreeBSD since +7.1-RELEASE.

+ +

Typical release note items document recent security advisories issued after +7.1-RELEASE, new drivers or hardware support, new commands or options, major bug fixes, +or contributed software upgrades. They may also list changes to major ports/packages or +release engineering practices. Clearly the release notes cannot list every single change +made to FreeBSD between releases; this document focuses primarily on security advisories, +user-visible changes, and major architectural improvements.

+ +

2.1 Security Advisories

+ +

Problems described in the following security advisories have been fixed. For more +information, consult the individual advisories available from http://security.FreeBSD.org/.

+ +

2.2 Kernel Changes

+ +

The +ddb(8) kernel +debugger now supports a show mount subcommand.

+ +

The FreeBSD DTrace subsystem now supports a probe for process execution.

+ +

[amd64] The FreeBSD kernel virtual address space has been increased to 6GB and the +ceiling on the kmem map size to 3.6GB. Note that the ceiling as a fraction of the kernel +map size rather than an absolute quantity.

+ +

The +jail(8) +subsystem has been updated. Changes include:

+ +

+
Multiple addresses of both IPv4 and IPv6 per jail has been 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 ( +sctp(4)) with +IPv6 in jails has been supported.
+
+
Specific CPU binding by using +cpuset(1) has +been supported. Note that the current implementation allows the superuser inside of the +jail to change the CPU bindings specified. This behavior will be fixed in the next +release.
+
+
A +jail(8) can +start with a specific route FIB now.
+
+
A show jails subcommand in +ddb(8) has been +added.
+
+
Compatibility support which permits 32bit jail binaries to be used on 64bit systems to +manage jails has been added.
+
+
Note that both version numbers of jail and prison in the +jail(8) have +been updated for the new features.
+

+ +

The +kld(4) now +supports installing 32-bit system call to the FreeBSD system call translation layer from +kernel modules.

+ +

The +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 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 shared memory segments on 64-bit architectures. Please +note the new BUGS section in +shmctl(2) and +/usr/src/UPDATING for limitations of this temporal +solution.

+ +

The FreeBSD 32-bit system call translation layer now supports installing 32-bit system +calls for VFS_AIO.

+ +

[amd64, i386] The FreeBSD virtual memory subsystem now supports Superpages. The +Superpages is a feature that enables each entry in the TLB (translation lookaside buffer) +to map a large physical memory region into a virtual address space in modern CPUs. This +provides possible memory savings for applications that share large amounts of memory +between the address spaces and performance improvements due to fewer TLB misses.

+ +

2.2.1 Boot Loader Changes

+ +

The +boot(8) now +supports 4-byte volume ID that certain versions of Windows® put into the MBR and invoking PXE by pressing F6 +key on some supported BIOSes.

+ +

The +loader(8) is now +able to obtain DHCP options from network boot via +kenv(2) +variables.

+ +

A bug in the +loader(8) has +been fixed. Now the following line works as expected:

+ +

+loader_conf_files="foo bar ${variable}"
+

+ +

2.2.2 Hardware Support

+ +

[sparc64] The FreeBSD now supports Ultra SPARC III (Cheetah) family.

+ +

The +acpi(4) +subsystem now supports a +sysctl(8) +variable debug.batt.batt_sleep_ms. On some laptops with +smart batteries, enabling battery monitoring software causes keystrokes from +atkbd(4) to be +lost. This sysctl variable adds a delay in millisecond to the status checking code as a +workaround.

+ +

The +acpi_asus(4) +driver now supports Asus A8Sr notebooks.

+ +

[powerpc] Support for the AltiVec, a floating point and integer SIMD instruction set +has been added.

+ +

The +cpuctl(4) +driver, which provides a special device /dev/cpuctl as an +interface to the system CPU has been added. The functionality includes to retrieve CPUID +information, read/write machine specific registers (MSR), and perform CPU firmware +updates.

+ +

The +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.

+ +

[amd64, i386] 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 +atkbd(4) now +disables the interrupt handler which is called from the keyboard callback function when +polled mode is enabled. This fixes duplicated/missing characters problem at mountroot on +multi CPU systems while +kbdmux(4) is +enabled.

+ +

In the +pci(4) subsystem +INTx is now disabled when MSI/MSIX is enabled. This change fixes interrupt storm related +issues.

+ +

[sparc64] The schizo(4) driver for Schizo Fireplane/Safari to PCI 2.1 and Tomatillo +JBus to PCI 2.2 bridges has been added.

+ +

The +sched_ule(4) +scheduler now supports a loader tunable machdep.hyperthreading_enabled as the +sched_4bsd(4) +does. Note that it cannot be modified at run-time.

+ +

A +sysctl(3) leaf +node has a flag to tag itself as MPSAFE now.

+ +

2.2.2.1 Multimedia Support

+ +

The +agp(4) now +supports Intel G4X series graphics chipsets.

+ +

The DRM, a kernel module named Direct Rendering Manager 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 which controls 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 +this was broken for a long time.

+ +

The +snd_hda(4) +driver has been updated. Changes include: multiple codec 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, updated driver +often provides several PCM devices. In some cases it can make system default audio device +no longer corresponding to the users's habitual audio connectors. In such cases the +default device can be specified in audio application setup or defined globally via hw.snd.default_unit sysctl as described in the +sound(4) manual +page.

+ +

2.2.2.2 Network Interface Support

+ +

The ae(4) driver now +supports WoL (Wake on LAN).

+ +

[amd64, i386] The +ale(4) driver is +now included in the GENERIC kernel.

+ +

The +ath_hal(4), +Atheros Hardware Access Layer, has been updated to the open source version.

+ +

The +axe(4) driver +has been improved in performance by eliminating extra context switches and now supports +Apple USB Ethernet adapter.

+ +

The +bce(4) driver's +firmware has been updated to the latest version (4.6.X).

+ +

The ciphy(4) driver now supports Vitesse VSC8211 PHY.

+ +

The +cxgb(4) driver +has been updated to the firmware revision 4.7 and now supports hardware MAC +statistics.

+ +

The +fxp(4) driver +has been improved. Changes include:

+ +

+
The checksum offload feature can be controlled by +ifconfig(8) +now.
+
+
Rx checksum offload support for 82559 or later controllers has been added.
+
+
TSO (TCP Segmentation Offload) support for 82550 and 82551 controllers has been +added.
+
+
WoL (Wake on LAN) support for 82550, 82551, 82558, and 82559-based controllers has +been added. Note that ICH based controllers are treated as 82559, and 82557, earlier +revision of 82558, and 82559ER have no WoL capability.
+
+
VLAN hardware tag insertion/stripping support and Tx/Rx checksum offload for VLAN +frames support have been added. Note that the VLAN hardware assistance is available only +on 82550 or 82551-based controllers.
+

+ +

A bug in +igb(4) driver +which prevents a loader tunable hw.igb.ave_latency from +working has been fixed.

+ +

A bug in +ixgbe(4) driver +has been updated to version 1.7.4.

+ +

The +jme(4) driver +now supports newer JMicron JMC250/JMC260 revisions.

+ +

The +msk(4) driver +has been improved. An issue which makes it hang up in a certain condition has been fixed. +A hardware MAC statistics support has been added and users can get the information via +sysctl variables named dev.msk.N.stats.

+ +

The +mxge(4) driver +now supports some newer revisions and 10GBASE-LRM and 10GBASE-Twinax media types.

+ +

The +nfe(4) driver +now supports hardware MAC statistics.

+ +

The re(4) driver has been +improved. It now detects the link status. A new loader tunable hw.re.prefer_iomap to disable memory register mapping. This +tunable is 0 for all controllers except RTL8169SC family.

+ +

The rl(4) driver has been +improved. It now detects the link status and a bug which prevents it from working on +systems with more than 4GB memory has been fixed.

+ +

A bug in +sis(4) on VLAN +tagged frame handling has been fixed.

+ +

The +txp(4) driver +now works on all supported architecture. Also, +altq(4) support, +WoL support, checksum offload when VLAN enabled, better link state change handling, a new +sysctl variable dev.txp.N.stats for MAC statistics have been added. A new +sysctl variable dev.txp.N.process_limit 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) has been added. The firmware has been updated to the latest +version.

+ +

2.2.3 Network Protocols

+ +

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 +jail(8) as it +now uses the same logic as outside the +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 +ng_netflow(4) +Netgraph node now supports ability to generate egress netflow instead or in addition to +ingress. An NGM_NETFLOW_SETCONFIG control message has been added +to control the new functionality.

+ +

The +tap(4), Ethernet +tunnel software network interface now supports TAPGIFNAME +character device ioctl. This is a convenient shortcut to obtain network interface name +using file descriptor for character device.

+ +

The +tap(4) now +supports SIOCSIFMTU ioctl to set a higher MTU than 1500 +(ETHERMTU). This allows +tap(4) device to +be added to a 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 +unix(4) (UNIX +domain protocol family) subsystem is now MPSAFE.

+ +

2.2.4 Disks and Storage

+ +

The +ata(4) driver +now supports Marvell PATA M88SX6121.

+ +

The +ata(4) driver +now recognizes nForce MCP67 and MCP73 SATA controllers as AHCI.

+ +

The +ataraid(4) +driver now has an initial support for DDF metadata found on Adaptec HostRAID controllers. +Note that spares and rebuilds are not supported yet.

+ +

The +cam(4) SCSI +subsystem now supports a 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 5 attempts) by default. +Setting to 0 turns off all retry attempts.

+ +

A bug in the +ciss(4) driver +which caused low “max device openings” count that has led to poor performance +has been fixed.

+ +

The +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 +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 +gjournal(8) GEOM +class now supports the root file system. Previously, an unclean shutdown would make it +impossible to mount root file system at boot.

+ +

The +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 PC98 and VTOC8 scheme have been fixed.

+ +

An issue in the +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 +hptmv(4) driver +has been updated to version 1.16 from the vendor.

+ +

The +mmc(4) and +mmcsd(4) driver +now support MMC and SDHC cards, high speed timing, wide bus, and multiblock +transfers.

+ +

[sparc64] The +mpt(4) driver is +now in the GENERIC kernel.

+ +

The +sdhci(4) driver +has been added. This supports PCI devices with class 8 and subclass 5 according to SD +Host Controller Specification.

+ +

The +sdhci(4) driver +now supports kernel dumping and a sysctl variable hw.sdhci.debug for debug level.

+ +

The +twa(4) driver +now supports 64-bit DMA.

+ +

The +mmc(4) +mmcsd(4), and +sdhci(4) driver +are now included as a kernel module.

+ +

2.2.5 File Systems

+ +

The semantics of +acl(3) extended +access control list has been changed as follows:

+ +

+
The inode modification time (mtime) is not updated when extended attribute are added, +modified, or removed.
+
+
The inode access time (atime) is not updated when extended attribute are queried.
+

+ +

The FreeBSD 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 FreeBSD UDF file system now supports a fifo.

+ +

The shared vnode locking for pathname lookups in +VFS(9) subsystem +has been improved. This is disabled by default. Setting a sysctl variable vfs.lookup_shared to 1 enables it for +better performance. Note that the LOOKUP_SHARED kernel option +equivalent to the sysctl variable has been removed.

+ +

2.3 Userland Changes

+ +

A bug in the +atacontrol(8) +utility which prevents it from working when /usr is not mounted +or invoked from /rescue, has been fixed.

+ +

The +btpand(8) daemon +from NetBSD has been added. This daemon provides support for Bluetooth Network Access +Point (NAP), Group Ad-hoc Network (GN) and Personal Area Network User (PANU) +profiles.

+ +

The +ncal(1) utility +now supports multibyte characters.

+ +

The +config(8) +utility now supports multiple makeoption lines.

+ +

The +csup(1) utility +now supports CVSMode to fetch a complete CVS repository. Note that the rsync transfer +mode is currently disabled.

+ +

The +dirname(1) +utility now accepts multiple arguments in the same way that +basename(1) +does.

+ +

The du(1) utility now +supports an -l flag. When specified, the du(1) counts a file +with multiple hard links as multiple different files.

+ +

The du(1) utility now +supports an -A flag to display the apparent size instead of +the disk usage. This can be helpful when operating on compressed volumes or sparse +files.

+ +

The du(1) utility now +supports a -B blocksize +option to calculate block counts in blocksize byte blocks. This is different from the +-k or -m options or setting BLOCKSIZE and gives an estimate of how much space the examined +file hierarchy would require on a file system with the given blocksize. Unless in -A mode, +blocksize is rounded up to the next multiple of +512.

+ +

The +dumpfs(8) +utility now supports an -f flag, which causes it to list all +free fragments in the file system by fragment (block) number. This new mode does the +necessary arithmetic to generate absolute fragment numbers rather than the cg-relative +numbers printed in the default mode.

+ +

If -f is passed once, contiguous fragment ranges are +collapsed into an X-Y format as free block lists are currently printed in regular dumpfs +output. If specified twice, all block numbers are printed individually, allowing both +compact and more script-friendly representation.

+ +

The +fetch(1) utility +now supports an -i flag which supports If-Modified-Since HTTP +1.1 request. If specified it will cause the file to be downloaded only if it is more +recent than the mtime of the file. Also, libfetch now accepts +the mtime in the url structure and a flag to indicate when this behavior is desired.

+ +

The +fsck(8) utility +now supports a -C flag for check +clean mode. This checks if the file system was dismounted cleanly first and then +skip file system checks if true. Otherwise it does full checks.

+ +

The +fsck(8) utility +now supports a -D flag for damaged recovery mode, which will +enable certain aggressive operations that can make +fsck(8) to +survive with file systems that has very serious data damage. This is an useful last +resort when on disk data damage is very serious and causes +fsck(8) to crash +otherwise.

+ +

The +getaddrinfo(3) +function now supports SCTP.

+ +

A bug in the +ipfw(8) utility +which displays extra messages for a NAT rule even when a -q +flag is specified.

+ +

The ln(1) utility now +supports a -w flag to check if the source file actually +exists. When the flag is specified and the file does not exist, the ln(1) will put a +warning message.

+ +

The +make(1) utility +now supports a -p flag to print the input graph only, not +executing any commands. The output is the same as -d g1. When +combined with -f /dev/null, only the built-in rules of make +are displayed.

+ +

The +make(1) utility +now supports a -Q flag to cause file banners not to be +generated in addition to the same effect of a -q flag when a +-j option is specified.

+ +

The +make(1) utility +now supports .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX variable. If -j and -v are specified, it outputs for +each target is prefixed with a token --- target --- the first part of which can be controlled +via the variable.

+ +

The +make(1) utility +now supports .MAKE.PID and .MAKE.PPID variable. These are set to process ID of the +make(1) process +and one of its parent process respectively.

+ +

The +makefs(8) +utility to create a file system image from a directory tree has been added.

+ +

The +mergemaster(8) +utility now supports an -F option to automatically install +files that differ only in version control ID strings.

+ +

The +mount(8) utility +now supports an -o mountprog=/somewhere/mount_xxx option to force it to use the +specified program to mount the file system instead of calling +nmount(2) +directly. This is useful when you want to use third party programs such as FUSE, for +example.

+ +

The +netstat(1) +utility now reports +unix(4) sockets +listen queue statistics when an -L flag is specified.

+ +

A bug in the +netstat(1) +utility has been fixed. It crashed with the following options in the previous +versions:

+ +

+% netstat -m -N foo
+

+ +

The +powerd(8) +program has been improved. Changes include reasonable CPU load estimation on SMP systems +and a new mode named as hiadaptive for AC-powered systems which +rises frequency twice faster, drops it 4 times slower, prefers twice lower CPU load and +has additional delay before leaving the highest frequency after the period of maximum +load.

+ +

The +stat(1) utility +now displays an octal representation of suid, sgid and sticky bits when an -x flag is specified.

+ +

The +strndup(3) +function has been added.

3 Upgrading from previous releases of +FreeBSD

+ +

[amd64, i386] Beginning with FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, binary upgrades between RELEASE +versions (and snapshots of the various security branches) are supported using the +freebsd-update(8) utility. The binary upgrade +procedure will update unmodified userland utilities, as well as unmodified GENERIC or SMP +kernels distributed as a part of an official FreeBSD release. The +freebsd-update(8) utility requires that the host +being upgraded have Internet connectivity.

+ +

An older form of binary upgrade is supported through the Upgrade option from the main +sysinstall(8) +menu on CDROM distribution media. This type of binary upgrade may be useful on non-i386, +non-amd64 machines or on systems with no Internet connectivity.

+ +

Source-based upgrades (those based on recompiling the FreeBSD base system from source +code) from previous versions are supported, according to the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING.

+ +

+
Important: Upgrading FreeBSD should, of course, only be attempted after backing +up all data and configuration +files.
