+ CTSRD Project
+
+
+ CHERI
+
+
+
+ In the course of developing the
+ CHERI processor as part of the CTSRD
+ project SRI International's Computer Science Laboratory and
+ the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory have developed
+ support for a number of general purpose IP cores for Altera FPGAs
+ including the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (ATSE) MAC core, the
+ Altera University Program SD Card core, and the Altera JTAG UART.
+ We have also added support for general access to memory mapped
+ devices on the Avalon bus via the avgen bus. We have implemented
+ both nexus and flattened device tree (FDT) attachments for these
+ devices.
+
+ In addition to these softcore we have developed support for
+ the Terasic multi-touch LCD and are working to provide support
+ for the Terasic HDMI Transmitter Daughter Card. Both of these
+ work with common development and/or reference boards for Altera
+ FPGAs. They do require additional IP cores which we plan to
+ release to the open source community in the near future.
+
+ With exception of the ATSE and HDMI drivers we have merged all
+ of these changes to &os;-CURRENT. We anticipate that these
+ drivers will be useful for users who with to run &os; on either
+ hard or soft core CPUs on Altera FPGAs.
+
+ This work has been sponsored by DARPA, AFRL, and Google.

+
+
+
+ During the July-September time period, the Native iSCSI Target
+ project was officially started under sponsorship from the &os;
+ Foundation. Before the end of September I've written ctld(8), the
+ userspace part of the target, responsible for handling
+ configuration, accepting incoming connections, performing
+ authentication and iSCSI parameter negotiation, and handing off
+ connections to the kernel. For the time being, I've reused some
+ parts of protocol-handling code from the istgt project; since
+ ctld(8) only handles the Login phase, the code can be rewritten
+ in a much simpler and shorter way in the future.

+
+
+ There are two implementations to make rc.d execution parallel.
+ Compared to Kil's rcorder, rcexecr brings more concurrence and
+ provides more flexibility than older "early_late_divider"
+ mechanism but require more invasive /etc patch. Both
+ implementations have switch to toggle parallel execution. Further
+ modification/integration needs more discussion.
+
+
+
+ Refine /etc/rc.d/* to eliminate unnecessary waiting.

+
+
+ In August, Eitan Adler (eadler@) and Oleksandr Tymoshenko
+ (gonzo@) joined the Bugmeister team. At the same time, Remko
+ Lodder and Volker Werth stepped down. We extend our thanks to
+ Volker and Remko for their work in the past, and welcome
+ Oleksandr and Eitan. Eitan and Oleksandr have been working hard
+ on migrating from GNATS, and have made significant progress on
+ evaluating new software, and creating scripts to export data
+ from GNATS.
+
+ The bugbusting team continue work on trying to make the
+ contents of the GNATS PR database cleaner, more accessible and
+ easier for committers to find and resolve PRs, by tagging PRs
+ to indicate the areas involved, and by ensuring that there is
+ sufficient info within each PR to resolve each issue.
+
+ As always, anybody interested in helping out with the PR
+ queue is welcome to join us in #freebsd-bugbusters on EFnet. We
+ are always looking for additional help, whether your interests
+ lie in triaging incoming PRs, generating patches to resolve
+ existing problems, or simply helping with the database
+ housekeeping (identifying duplicate PRs, ones that have already
+ been resolved, etc). This is a great way of getting more
+ involved with &os;!
+
+
+
+ Further research into tools suitable to replace
+ GNATS.
+
+ Get more users involved with triaging PRs as they come
+ in.
+
+ Assist committers with closing PRs.

+ Core Team
+
+ core@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+
+
+ Along with the change in the Core Team membership, several
+ related roles changed hands. Gabor Pali assumed the role of core
+ secretary from Gavin Atkinson, and David Chisnall replaced Robert
+ Watson as liaison to the &os; Foundation. The Core Team felt
+ there was no longer a need for a formal security team liaison, so
+ that role was retired.
+
+ In the third quarter, the Core Team granted access for 2 new
+ committers and took 2 commit bits into safekeeping.
+
+ The Core Team worked with the Port Management Team and Cluster
+ Administrators to set a date to stop providing CVS exports for
+ the ports repository, which is February 28, 2013. In the
+ meantime, the CVS export for 9.1-RELEASE was restored.

+
+ The Foundation hosted and sponsored the Cambridge &os;
+ developer summit in August 2012.
+
+ We were represented at the following conferences: OSCON July
+ 2012, Texas LinuxFest, and Ohio LinuxFest.
+
+ We negotiated/supervised Foundation funded projects:
+ Distributed Security Audit Logging, Capsicum Component
+ Framework, Native iSCSI Target Scoping, and Growing UFS
+ Filesystems Online.
+
+ We negotiated, supervised, and funded hardware needs for
+ &os; co-location centers.
+
+ We welcomed Kirk McKusick to our board of directors. He took
+ over the responsibility of managing our investments.
+
+ We visited companies to discuss their &os; use and to help
+ facilitate collaboration with the Project.
+
+ We managed &os; vendor community mailing list and
+ meetings.
+
+ We created a high quality &os; 9 brochure to help promote
+ &os;.
+
+ Published our
+ semi-annual newsletter that highlighted Foundation
+ funded projects, travel grants for
+ developers, conferences sponsored and other ways the Foundation
+ supported the &os; Project.
+
+ We hired a technical writer to help with &os;

+ Support for ARMv6 and ARMv7 architecture has been merged from
+ project branch to HEAD. This code covers the following parts:
+
+ - General ARMv6/ARMv7 kernel bits (pmap, cache, assembler
+ routines, etc...)
+ - ARM Generic Interrupt Controller driver
+ - Improved thread-local storage for cpus >=ARMv6
+ - Driver for SMSC LAN95XX and LAN8710A ethernet controllers
+ - Marvell MV78x60 support (multiuser, ARMADA XP kernel config)

+
+
+ In the end of August, there was an "off-season" Developer
+ Summit held in Cambridge, UK at the University of Cambridge
+ Computer Laboratory. This was a three-day event, with a
+ documentation summit scheduled for the day before. The three
+ days of the main event were split into three sessions, with two
+ tracks in each. Some of them even involved ARM developers from
+ the neighborhoods which proven to be productive, and led to
+ further engagement between the &os; community and ARM.
+
+ The schedule was finalized on the first day, spawning a
+ plethora of topics to discuss, followed by splitting into groups.
+ A short summary from each of the groups was presented in the
+ final session and then published at the event's home page on the
+ &os; wiki. This summit contributed greatly to arriving to a
+ tentative plan for throwing the switch to make clang the default
+ compiler on HEAD. This was further discussed on the mailing list,
+ and has now happened, bringing us one big step closer to a
+ GPL-free &os; 10. As part of the program, an afternoon of short
+ talks from researchers in the Cambridge Computer Laboratory
+ involved either operating systems work in general or &os; in
+ particular. Robert Watson showed off a tablet running &os; on a
+ MIPS-compatible soft-core processor running on an Altera
+ FPGA.
+
+ In association with the event, a dinner was hosted by St. John's
+ college and co-sponsored by Google and the &os; Foundation. The
+ day after the conference, a trip was organized to Bletchley Park,
+ which was celebrating Turing's centenary in 2012.

+
+
+ Over the Summer of 2012, &os; were once again granted a
+ place to participate in the Google Summer of Code program. We
+ received a total of 32 project proposals, and were ultimately
+ given 15 slots for university students to work on open source
+ projects mentored by existing &os; developers.
+
+ We were able to accept a wide spread of proposals, covering
+ both the base system and the ports infrastructure. We had
+ students working on file systems, file integrity checking, and
+ parallelization in the ports collection. Students worked on
+ kernel infrastructure, including one project to support CPU
+ resource limits on users, processes and jails, and one student
+ improving the BSD callout(9) and timer facilities. Two students
+ worked on the ARM platform, widely used in embedded systems and
+ smart phones; one student worked on a significant cleanup and
+ improvements to the Flattened Device Tree implementation code,
+ while the other ported &os; to the OMAP3-based BeagleBoard-xM
+ device. One student worked on improving IPv6 support in
+ userland tools, whilst another worked on BIOS emulation for the
+ BHyVE BSD-licensed hypervisor, new in &os; 10. Other students
+ worked on EFI boot support, userland lock profiling and an
+ automated kernel crash reporting system.
+
+ Overall, a significant proportion of the code produced has
+ or will be integrated into &os; in one form or another. All of
+ the work is available in our Summer Of Code Subversion
+ repository, and some of the work has already been merged back
+ into the main repositories.
+
+ &os; is once again grateful to Google for being selected to
+ participate in Summer of Code 2012.

+ &os; on BeagleBone is benefiting from the general work on ARM
+ stability being done by many people, and is proving to be a nice
+ testbed for our ARMv7 support. All ongoing work is happening now
+ directly in -CURRENT and we expect it to be in pretty good shape
+ by the time 10.0 ships.
+
+ The network driver is now pretty stable; the system should be
+ useful as a small network device.
+
+ Occasional system snapshots are being built and advertised for
+ people to test. Ask on freebsd-arm@ if you'd like to try the
+ newest one.
+
+
+
+ We need someone to finish the USB driver. Ask if you'd like
+ to take this over.
+
+ MMCSD performance is still rather poor.
+
+ There's been discussion of how to improve the GPIO
+ configuration and pinmux handling to simplify hardware
+ experimentation. If we had more people to help build drivers, we
+ could start supporting some of the BeagleBone capes.
+
+ Mostly we just need people to use it and report any issues
+ they encounter.

+ patch (deprecated)
+
+
+
+ &os; has been using for a while a very old version of GNU
+ patch that is partially under the GPLv2. The original GNU patch
+ utility is based on an initial implementation by Larry Wall that
+ was not actually copyleft. OpenBSD did many enhancements to an
+ older non-copyleft version of patch, this version was later
+ adopted and further refined by DragonFlyBSD and NetBSD but there
+ was no centralized development of the tool and &os; kept working
+ independently. In less than a week we took the version in
+ DragonFlyBSD and adapted the &os; enhancements to make it behave
+ nearer to the version used natively in &os;. Most of the work was
+ done by Pedro Giffuni, adapting patches from sepotvin@ and ed@,
+ and additional contributions were done by Christoph Mallon, Gabor
+ Kovesdan and Xin Li. As a result of this we now have a new
+ version of patch committed in head/usr.bin/patch that you can try
+ by using WITH_BSD_PATCH in your builds. The new patch(1) doesn't
+ support the &os;-specific -I and -S options which don't seem
+ necessary. In GNU patch -I actually means 'ignore whitespaces'
+ and we now support it too.
