|
19 |

et(4) Agere Gigabit Ethernet/Fast Ethernet driver added, but |
20 |
+ |
not included in GENERIC kernel. The kernel module needs |
21 |
+ |
testing before we can include it in GENERIC. |
22 |
+ |
|
23 |
+ |
intr_bind code ported to allow an IRQ to be bound to one |
24 |
+ |
specific CPU core. |
25 |
+ |
|
26 |
+ |
20111017: |
27 |
+ |
Time Zone Data v. 2011l (Released 10 October 2011) |
28 |
+ |
|
29 |
+ |
Updated list of countries (iso3166) to work with new timezone data. |
30 |
+ |
|
31 |
+ |
20111015: |
32 |
+ |
Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used |
33 |
+ |
to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given |
34 |
+ |
process. Several new system calls were added to support this |
35 |
+ |
functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary |
36 |
+ |
compatibility on amd64. |
37 |
+ |
|
38 |
+ |
The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and |
39 |
+ |
amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE) |
40 |
+ |
for this feature. |
41 |
+ |
|
42 |
+ |
This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches. |
43 |
+ |
|
44 |
+ |
20111004: |
45 |
+ |
Fix a problem with unix socket handling caused by the recent |
46 |
+ |
patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network |
47 |
+ |
apps to work under the linuxolator again. |
48 |
+ |
|
49 |
+ |
20111001: |
50 |
+ |
Import libfetch & fetch(1) from FreeBSD 9. Passive FTP is |
51 |
+ |
now default and an environment variable must be set to use |
52 |
+ |
active. |
53 |
+ |
|
54 |
+ |
20110930: |
55 |
+ |
Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including |
56 |
+ |
USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices. |
57 |
+ |
|
58 |
+ |
Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4). |
59 |
+ |
Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed |
60 |
+ |
when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum |
61 |
+ |
offloading. |
62 |
+ |
|
63 |
+ |
Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when |
64 |
+ |
working with large raid3 sets. |
65 |
+ |
|
66 |
+ |
Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller. |
67 |
+ |
|
68 |
+ |
20110929: |
69 |
+ |
Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3. |
70 |
+ |
|
71 |
+ |
The following modules are no longer available, and should be |
72 |
+ |
removed from loader.conf: |
73 |
+ |
ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample |
74 |
+ |
|
75 |
+ |
alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often |
76 |
+ |
required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that |
77 |
+ |
a connection could be established. Disable hibernation. |
78 |
+ |
|
79 |
+ |
20110928: |
80 |
+ |
Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z |
81 |
+ |
files that are corrupted. |
82 |
+ |
|
83 |
+ |
Fix path validation with unix domain sockets. |
84 |
+ |
|
85 |
+ |
20110917: |
86 |
+ |
Remove dependance on mports perl for generating releases as |
87 |
+ |
it's in the base system. |
88 |
+ |
|
89 |
+ |
20110914: |
90 |
+ |
Import xz 5.0.3 with liblzma 5.0.3 |
91 |
+ |
|
92 |
+ |
20110813: |
93 |
+ |
synced the sparc64 GENERIC kernel configuration with amd64. |
94 |
+ |
|
95 |
+ |
20110806: |
96 |
+ |
sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported |
97 |
+ |
|
98 |
+ |
msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides |
99 |
+ |
a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used |
100 |
+ |
to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable |
101 |
+ |
index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the |
102 |
+ |
/usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable |
103 |
+ |
space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently. |
104 |
+ |
|
105 |
+ |
Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package |
106 |
+ |
versions. This will be obsolete with mport though. |
107 |
+ |
|
108 |
+ |
20110710: |
109 |
+ |
kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to |
110 |
+ |
know why it's in use and thus script can be run. |
111 |
+ |
|
112 |
+ |
Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed |
113 |
+ |
|
114 |
+ |
20110709: |
115 |
+ |
cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change |
116 |
+ |
with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4). |
117 |
+ |
|
118 |
+ |
20110612: |
119 |
+ |
Update mksh to R40 |
120 |
+ |
|
121 |
+ |
Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when |
122 |
+ |
updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old) |
123 |
+ |
|
124 |
+ |
20110528: |
125 |
+ |
Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers. |
126 |
+ |
|
127 |
+ |
20110526: |
128 |
+ |
newfs: |
129 |
+ |
Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from |
130 |
+ |
16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K. |
131 |
+ |
|
132 |
+ |
This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format" |
133 |
+ |
hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type |
134 |
+ |
have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course |
135 |
+ |
the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk. |
136 |
+ |
|
137 |
+ |
20110521: |
138 |
+ |
mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove |
139 |
+ |
all packages from a system. |
140 |
+ |
|
141 |
+ |
A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed. |
142 |
+ |
|
143 |
+ |
20110518: |
144 |

+ |
|
152 |
+ |

20110216: |
179 |
+ |
Introduce igb(4) and split Intel Gigabit Ethernet adapters between |
180 |
+ |
igb(4) and em(4). Newer devices use igb(4). The code has moved |
181 |
+ |
to sys/dev/e1000 for both devices in the kernel. igb(4) has |
182 |
+ |
been placed in GENERIC on i386 and amd64. |
183 |
+ |
|
184 |
+ |
Update bfe(4) to support newer devices and WOL. |
185 |

Add experimental jme(4) for Jmicron ethernet devices. |
223 |
+ |
|
224 |
+ |
20101130: |
225 |
+ |
A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when |
226 |
+ |
processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime |
227 |
+ |
numbers. [CVE-2010-2939] |
228 |
+ |
|
229 |
+ |
20101120: |
230 |
+ |
Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file |
231 |
+ |
systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due |
232 |
+ |
to use of int types. Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified |
233 |
+ |
our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts |
234 |
+ |
which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB. |
235 |
+ |
|
236 |
+ |
newfs and growfs was also modified. |
237 |
+ |
|
238 |
+ |
20101110: |
239 |
+ |
Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel |
240 |
+ |
context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration. This affects file |
241 |
+ |
systems such as procfs for instance. |
242 |
+ |
|
243 |
+ |
20101021: |
244 |
+ |
sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily. |
245 |
+ |
This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was |
246 |
+ |
written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD. |
247 |
+ |
|
248 |
+ |
20100920: |
249 |

+ |
20100905: |
252 |
+ |

253 |
+ |
for 0.4. |
254 |
+ |
|
255 |
+ |
20100902: |
256 |
+ |
Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in |
257 |
+ |
login.conf in some cases. This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow |
258 |
+ |
the user to get more resources than they're allowed. |
259 |
+ |
|
260 |
+ |
20100822: |

Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd). |
262 |
+ |
|
263 |
+ |
20100814: |
264 |
+ |
libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in |
265 |
+ |
Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is |
266 |
+ |
licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that |
267 |
+ |
it's not required for all users to run code under a license they |
268 |
+ |
may not like. |
269 |
+ |
|
270 |

20100713: |
