20120229: |
4 |
+ |
cpucontrol(8) and cpuctl(4) added from FreeBSD 7-stable. |

import raid5 module for GEOM, graid5(8) |
11 |
+ |
|
12 |
+ |
This is experimental and known to use a lot of kernel |
13 |
+ |
memory. |
14 |
+ |
|
15 |
+ |
20111223: |
16 |
+ |
telnetd: fix a root exploit from a fixed buffer that was not checked |
17 |
+ |
|
18 |
+ |
pam: don't allow escape from policy path. Exploitable in KDE, etc. |
19 |
+ |
|
20 |
+ |
Fix pam_ssh module: |
21 |
+ |
|
22 |
+ |
If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access |
23 |
+ |
to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys. |
24 |
+ |
|
25 |
+ |
This has to due with the way that openssl works. It ignores unencrpted data. |
26 |
+ |
|
27 |
+ |
Fix security issue with chroot and ftpd. |
28 |
+ |
|
29 |
+ |
nsdispatch(3) doesn't know it's working in a chroot and some |
30 |
+ |
operations can cause files to get reloaded causing a security |
31 |
+ |
hole in things like ftpd. |
32 |
+ |
|
33 |
+ |
20111217: |
34 |
+ |
libdialog/dialog upgraded to an lgpl version. As it's not |
35 |
+ |
backwardly compatable, include the old libdialog as libodialog |
36 |
+ |
|
37 |

20111212: |

42 |
+ |
|
43 |
+ |
GEOM synced with FreeBSD 7-stable. |
44 |
+ |
|
45 |
+ |
MidnightBSD GPT partition types created in sys/gpt.h and |
46 |
+ |
setup in boot loader and GEOM. |
47 |
+ |
|
48 |
+ |
amdsbwd(4) (amd watchdog for south bridge) updated to support |
49 |
+ |
8xx series chipset. |
50 |
+ |
|
51 |
+ |
20111207: |
52 |
+ |
import bsd grep from FreeBSD/OpenBSD. |
53 |
+ |
|
54 |
+ |
MK_BSD_GREP controls which grep is installed |
55 |
+ |
as grep with the other as bsdgrep or gnugrep. |
56 |
+ |
|

81 |

|
82 |

et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but |
83 |
+ |
not included in GENERIC kernel. The kernel module needs |
84 |
+ |
testing before we can include it in GENERIC. |
85 |
+ |
|
86 |
+ |
intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one |
87 |
+ |
specific CPU core. |
88 |
+ |
|
89 |
+ |
20111017: |

+ |
Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011) |
91 |
+ |
|
92 |
+ |
Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data. |
93 |
+ |
|
94 |
+ |
20111015: |
95 |
+ |
Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used |
96 |
+ |
to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given |
97 |
+ |
process. Several new system calls were added to support this |
98 |
+ |
functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary |
99 |
+ |
compatibility on amd64. |
100 |
+ |
|
101 |
+ |
The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and |
102 |
+ |
amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE) |
103 |
+ |
for this feature. |
104 |
+ |
|
105 |
+ |
This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches. |
106 |
+ |
|
107 |
+ |
20111004: |
108 |
+ |
Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent |
109 |
+ |
patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network |
110 |
+ |
apps to work under the linuxolator again. |
111 |
+ |
|
112 |
+ |
20111001: |
113 |
+ |
Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is |
114 |
+ |
now default and an environment variable must be set to use |
115 |
+ |
active. |
116 |
+ |
|
117 |
+ |
20110930: |
118 |
+ |
Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including |
119 |
+ |
USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices. |
120 |
+ |
|
121 |
+ |
Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4). |
122 |
+ |
Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed |
123 |
+ |
when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum |
124 |
+ |
offloading. |
125 |
+ |
|
126 |
+ |
Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when |
127 |
+ |
working with large raid3 sets. |
128 |
+ |
|
129 |
+ |
Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller. |
130 |
+ |
|
131 |
+ |
20110929: |
132 |
+ |
Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3. |
133 |
+ |
|
134 |
+ |
The following modules are no longer available, and should be |
135 |
+ |
removed from loader.conf: |
136 |
+ |
ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample |
137 |
+ |
|
138 |
+ |
alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often |
139 |
+ |
required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that |
140 |
+ |
a connection could be established. Disable hibernation. |
141 |
+ |
|
142 |
+ |
20110928: |
143 |
+ |
Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z |
144 |
+ |
files that are corrupted. |
145 |
+ |
|
146 |
+ |
Fix path validation with unix domain sockets. |
147 |
+ |
|
148 |
+ |
20110917: |
149 |
+ |
Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as |
150 |
+ |
it's in the base system. |
151 |
+ |
|
152 |
+ |
20110914: |
153 |
+ |
Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3 |
154 |
+ |
|
155 |
+ |
20110813: |
156 |
+ |
synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64. |
157 |
+ |
|
158 |
+ |
20110806: |
159 |
+ |
sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported |
160 |
+ |
|
161 |
+ |
msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides |
162 |
+ |
a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used |
163 |
+ |
to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable |
164 |
+ |
index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the |
165 |
+ |
/usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable |
166 |
+ |
space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently. |
167 |
+ |
|
168 |
+ |
Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package |
169 |
+ |
versions. This will be obsolete with mport though. |
170 |
+ |
|
171 |
+ |
20110710: |
172 |
+ |
kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to |
173 |
+ |
know why it's in use and thus script can be run. |
174 |
+ |
|
175 |
+ |
Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed |
176 |
+ |
|
177 |
+ |
20110709: |
178 |
+ |
cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change |
179 |
+ |
with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4). |
180 |
+ |
|
181 |
+ |
20110612: |
182 |
+ |
Update mksh to R40 |
183 |
+ |
|
184 |
+ |
Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when |
185 |
+ |
updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old) |
186 |
+ |
|
187 |
+ |
20110528: |
188 |
+ |
Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers. |
189 |
+ |
|
190 |
+ |
20110526: |
191 |
+ |
newfs: |
192 |
+ |
Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from |
193 |
+ |
16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K. |
194 |
+ |
|
195 |
+ |
This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format" |
196 |
+ |
hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type |
197 |
+ |
have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course |
198 |
+ |
the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk. |
199 |
+ |
|
200 |
|
20110521: |
201 |
|
mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove |
202 |
|
all packages from a system. |
1189 |
|
