Cavium’s ThunderX is a high-performance 64-bit ARMv8 CPU,
+ available in configurations with up to 48 cores per package.
+ ThunderX is the initial reference platform for the &os;/arm64
+ porting effort.
+
+
+
Additional Semihalf-sponsored work on ThunderX support
+ brought brand new features such as:
+
+
+
Multi-socket operation:
+ &os; now runs on a two-node ThunderX server board with total
+ number of 96 CPU cores!
+
Virtual Networking Interface Card driver:
+ The VNIC driver consists of 4 elements (BGX, MDIO, and
+ Physical and Virtual Functions) and is the second driver in &os;
+ to utilize SR-IOV capabilities. ThunderX is now able to use
+ built-in networking interfaces at 1–40 Gbps.
+
+
+
Moreover, previously introduced functionalities have been
+ improved and committed to HEAD. This include:
+
+
PCIe drivers (for both internal and external
+ controllers)
+
ITS (Interrupt Translation Services) fixes
+
Platform-specific changes for ThunderX
+
Various other fixes to kernel (PCI, UMA, etc.)
+
+
+
The remaining features are being reviewed and will be
+ integrated to HEAD soon. However, the GENERIC kernel already
+ supports and runs on ThunderX.

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is an extension to TCP that allows
+ for the use of multiple network interfaces on a standard TCP
+ session. The addition of new addresses and scheduling of data
+ across these occurs transparently from the perspective of the TCP
+ application.
+
+
The goal of this project is to deliver an MPTCP kernel
+ patch that interoperates with the reference MPTCP implementation,
+ along with additional enhancements to aid network research.
+
+
The v0.5 patch was released, which is the first patch
+ of the re-written implementation. We are in the process of
+ documenting the new design and addressing some feedback as
+ provided from the community.
+
+
Work has commenced on improved input handling, as the current
+ method of receiving and reassembling segments has been the cause
+ of some instability/stalls during connection shutdown. This will
+ involve re-using the subflow receive buffers and an upcall to
+ enqueue a MP-layer reassembly task without the need to take a lock
+ on the MP control block. The improvements should also allow
+ bypassing mptcp_usrreq for standard TCP connections.
+
+
The MPTCP commit history was synchronized with
+ hg-beta.FreeBSD.org, and have made the repository available on
+ BitBucket (see links). Future patch releases will be tagged
+ there. The tree is now merged with &os; head weekly. An updated
+ v0.51 patch is ready for release.

Populate documentation and the issue tracker on the BitBucket
+ repository.

Improvements to receive-side code before further testing.

Prepare a technical report detailing the design of the current

CloudABI is a POSIX-like runtime environment that uses Capsicum
+ as its sole access control mechanism. CloudABI allows you to
+ develop software that is better hardened against security
+ vulnerabilities, is easier to test, and is easier to migrate
+ across systems.
+
+
As of August, all of the kernel modifications that are needed to
+ run CloudABI programs have been integrated into &os; head. Once
+ you load the cloudabi64 kernel module, you can
+ either run CloudABI programs directly from the shell or by
+ using the cloudabi-run tool
+ (sysutils/cloudabi-utils). The latter allows you to
+ inject sockets, files, and directories into the launched
+ program in a more structured way.
+
+
In the meantime, work has started on developing a Ports Collection
+ that contains cross-compiled utilities and libraries for CloudABI.
+ The intent is that this framework generates native packages for a
+ number of operating systems, making it possible to develop
+ CloudABI applications on any operating system, regardless of
+ whether that operating system actually supports CloudABI.
+
+
If you are interested in CloudABI, be sure to go to the project
+ page on GitHub, watch recordings of talks at conferences or wait
+ for the upcoming edition of the FreeBSD Journal, which will
+ feature an article on CloudABI.
+
+
+
+ Nuxi, the Netherlands
+
+
+
+
+
CloudABI is currently only available for amd64. It would
+ make sense to port CloudABI to additional architectures (e.g.,
+ aarch64).
+
+
+
+
Support for CloudABI has only been integrated into &os;.
+ If we manage to upstream support for CloudABI into other operating
+ systems, it should be possible to run the same binary on multiple
+ operating systems, without recompilation.
+
+
+
+
The CloudABI Ports Collection currently only has 60 packages.
+ Though these packages already allow you to build some interesting
+ software, we're always interested in expanding.

UEFI-enabled boot1.efi and loader.efi have
+ been modified to support loading and booting from a ZFS
+ filesystem, as of the previous report. The ZFS-enabled
+ loader.efi can be treated as a chainloader when
+ using ZFS-enabled GRUB.
+
+
During this quarter, several successful tests have been
+ reported on simple ZFS setups, using both boot1.efi with
+ loader.efi as well as GRUB and loader.efi.
+
+
Successful tests have been reported for UFS with the
+ patched boot1.efi and loader.efi as well.
+
+
+
+
+
+
Test reports are needed for more complex ZFS setups,
+ such as with log/l2arc vdevs, mirroring, striping, and raidz.
+
+
+
+
Pending successful reports, the patch needs to be
+ reviewed and committed.

+ Introduction
+ and blurb

+ Installation
+ How-To
+ Roadmap
+ Commands
+ A
+ slightly outdated nosh Guide
+
+
+
+
The nosh project is a suite of system-level utilities for
+ initializing, running, and shutting down BSD systems, and for
+ managing daemons, terminals, and logging. It supersedes BSD
+ init and the NetBSD rc.d system, drawing
+ inspiration from Solaris SMF for named milestones,
+ daemontools-encore for service control/status mechanisms, UCSPI,
+ and IBM AIX for separated service and system management. It
+ comprises a range of compatibility mechanisms, including shims for
+ familiar commands from other systems, and an automatic import
+ mechanism that takes existing configuration data from
+ /etc/fstab, /etc/rc.conf{,.local},
+ /etc/ttys, and elsewhere, applying them to its native
+ service definitions and creating additional native services. It
+ is portable (including to Linux) and composable, it provides a
+ migration path from the world of systemd Linux, it does not
+ require new kernel APIs. It provides clean service environments,
+ orderings and dependencies between services, parallelized startup
+ and shutdown (including fsck), strictly size-capped and
+ autorotated logging, the service manager as a
+ "subreaper", and uses kevent(2) for event-driven
+ parallelism.
+
+
The past few months have seen a growth in the import
+ mechanism, with full import of /etc/fstab and
+ /etc/ttys available in version 1.18 in July, and importing
+ PC-BSD Warden and &os; 9 jails, and full import of gbde and
+ geli mount/unmount mechanisms in version 1.21 in October.
+ It has also gained the ability to automatically re-generate
+ host.conf and sysctl.conf whenever their source
+ files change.
+
+
Other developments in the past few months include fully
+ independent shutdown support, no longer relying upon an externally
+ provided shutdown command from another toolset, and a full suite of
+ binary packages. As of version 1.20, it became possible to
+ have a fully-nosh-managed system, on both &os; and Linux, using just
+ precompiled binary packages.
+
+
The biggest task remaining is one that was set a while ago:
+ the creation of enough native service bundles and ancillary
+ utilities to entirely supplant the rc.d system. A
+ lot of this has been achieved, with the original target list of
+ 157 items now down to just 39 remaining. These are the tricky
+ ones, of course, where help is most needed.
+
+
+
+
+
+
There are still a few rc scripts left that should be easy
+ to convert, such as /etc/rc.d/gptboot and
+ /etc/rc.d/growfs as oneshot services,
+ /etc/rc.d/routing, and /etc/rc.d/kldxref.
+
+
+
+
&os;'s /etc/rc.d/bluetooth is over 360 lines long.
+ In 2011, Iain Hibbert wrote a "simpler" bluetooth for
+ NetBSD. This can perhaps be used as a simpler basis for a nosh
+ translation.
+
+
+
+
Add kernel support for passing a -b option to
+ pid 1, and support for a boot_bare variable in the loader, to
+ allow "emergency" (where even no shell dotfiles are
+ loaded) and "rescue" mode bootstraps, akin to Linux.
+ (History: The -b mechanism and idea date back to
+ version 2.57d of Miquel van Smoorenburg's System 5 init clone,
+ dated 1995-12-03, and was already known as "emergency boot" by
+ 1997.)
+
+
+
+
Add support to &os;'s fsck(8) for outputting
+ machine-readable progress reports to a designated file descriptor,
+ so that nosh can provide progress bars for multiple fscks running
+ in parallel. nosh already provides this functionality on Linux,
+ where fsck(8) does provide machine-readable output.
+
+
+
+
Identify when the configuration import system needs to be
+ triggered, such as when bsdconfig alters configuration
+ files, and create the necessary hooks to import external
+ configuration changes into nosh.
+
+
+
+
Investigate how &os;/PC-BSD could be improved by taking
+ advantage of some available nosh package mechanisms.

PCI Express (PCIe) hot-plug is used on both laptops and
+ servers to allow peripheral devices to be added or removed while
+ the system is running. Laptops commonly include hot-pluggable
+ PCIe as either an ExpressCard slot or Thunderbolt interface.
+ ExpressCard has built-in USB support that is already supported by
+ &os;, but ExpressCard PCIe devices like Gigabit Ethernet adapters
+ and eSATA cards are only supported when they are present at boot,
+ and their removal may cause &os; to crash.
+
+
The goal of this project is to allow these devices to be
+ inserted and removed while &os; is running. This work will provide
+ the basic infrastructure to support adding and removing devices,
+ though it is expected that additional work will be needed to
+ update individual drivers to support hot-plug.
+
+
Current testing is focused on getting a simple UART device
+ functional. Basic hot swap is currently functional.
+
+
A set of the patches for the work done in this project is
+ now available on github.com.

+
Get suspend/resume functional by save/restoring the necessary
+ registers. This should be addressed by r281874.
+
+
+
+
Make sure that upon suspend, devices are removed so that we
+ are not fooled if they are replaced with different devices while
+ the machine is suspended.
+
+
+
+
Improve how state transitions are handled, possibly by
+ using a proper state machine.

+ automtud: Better Jumbo Frame Support

+

+
+
The automtud script will allow a &os; machine to send
+ jumbo frames to machines that support them, while using
+ normal-sized frames for other machines.
+
+
There are various advantages to using jumbo frames,
+ such as reduced protocol overhead. It also means that TCP streams
+ will not be segmented as much (though TSO helps mitigate the
+ disadvantages of such segmentation) and in cases where LRO does
+ not work well, fewer packets will be received.
+
+
The script currently does not restore the system to its
+ original state when it exits. This means that you will have to
+ manually change the interface MTU and manually delete host routes
+ after stopping the script.
+
+
+
+
+
+
Fix up various ethernet drivers to better support jumbo frames.
+ Most ethernet drivers, though they support scatter/gather, use a
+ physically contiguous zone to do so, which can cause resource
+ shortages.
+
+
+
+
More testing is needed to ensure that things behave as
+ expected. This means that when running the script, communication
+ to all machines functions normanlly, without slowdown or
+ connectivity issues. Check `vmstat -z | grep mbuf' to ensure that
+ such issues are not due to running out of jumbo_9k or jumbo_16k
+ buffers due to ethernet driver issue.

The &os; bootloader has used Ficl 3 for quite some time, so
+ this project was intended to update the version of Ficl in use
+ to Ficl 4. Ficl 4 is not only faster but also has a smaller
+ memory footprint, both being important advantages for a
+ bootloader.
+
+
As part of the Google Summer of Code program, I worked on
+ importing the Ficl 4 sources to get a bootloader running Ficl 4.
+ The first half of the summer consisted of setting up my test
+ environment, as well as arranging the sources in the tree properly
+ and modifying the build files to point to the new locations. Once
+ that was complete, the sources had to be modified to build
+ correctly and to add back in some of the &os;-specific parts from
+ Ficl 3. Unfortunately, after all those tasks were completed, a
+ few bugs in the Ficl project were discovered that delayed the
+ bootloader update, so it is not finished. The Illumos project has
+ faced similar issues with Ficl 4 so I received some good tips from
+ them, but since school has started back up I haven't been able to
+ put much work into fixing the bugs.

&os; includes several programs that work with file system
+ hierarchy descriptions in the mtree(5) format. These
+ descriptions, also called specifications, have a broad range of
+ uses, from automatically creating directory structures to security
+ auditing.
+
+
Each of the programs, namely mtree,
+ bsdtar, install, and makefs,
+ has its own implementation of the mtree format. This not only
+ adds maintenance overhead, but also makes interoperability
+ difficult, as each of the implementations only supports a limited
+ subset of the format.
+
+
The goal of this project was to create a new
+ libmtree library, implementing everything the mtree
+ format has to offer, and wrapping it with an expressive API which
+ all the listed programs can use. We also wanted libmtree
+ to be portable, as one of the major users of the mtree format is
+ libarchive, the library implementing most of
+ bsdtar.
+
+
Currently, the library is functionally complete, ready to
+ be downloaded and receive everyone's attention. We've also
+ decided to bundle the mtree program along with it. The
+ bundled mtree has also been modified for better
+ portability
+
+
The project also included modifying libarchive,
+ install and makefs to use libmtree. These
+ modified versions are also available.

ZFSguru started as front-end to ZFS but has since grown
+ into a multifunctional server appliance with its own unique
+ features. While the project is still in early development, it
+ already offers multiple unique features not found in other
+ projects. Unlike similar projects, nothing is stripped away from
+ the base operating system, meaning ZFSguru behaves as a normal
+ FreeBSD installation and thus is very versatile. The web-interface
+ is designed to unite both novice and advanced users, providing
+ both very easy to use basic functionality as well as features to
+ be appreciated by more experienced users. The modular nature of
+ the project combats the danger of bloat, whilst still allowing
+ extended functionality to be easily deployed.
+
+
On the 15th of August, version 0.3 of ZFSguru was released. Some
+ highlights of the new version:
+
+
+
New build infrastructure allows for frequent releases of
+ system images and services in a semi-automated way.
+
A new GuruDB database allows for a growing number of system
+ images and servers, and provide good caching to accelerate
+ pages.
+
The installation procedure was given a major
+ overhaul.
+
In addition to the LiveCD, USB images are now available.
+ The USB image supports both legacy MBR bootcode and UEFI boot
+ support.
+
Many libraries in the web-interface have been
+ overhauled, in addition to many other additions to the
+ web interface.
+
Many improvements were made to optional add-on services,
+ such as the new Gnome 3 graphical environment.
+
+
+
Other progress made in the months July, August and
+ September:
+
+
+
System image builds 001, 002, 003 and 004 have been
+ released for all supported branches: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3
+ (-STABLE) and 11.0 (-CURRENT).
+
Work on the 0.4 web-interface has started, which focuses
+ on improving network support in the web-interface.
+
Work on a new visual theme for the web-interface has
+ started. The new interface is likely to be included in the upcoming
+ 0.4 release.
+
A new master server is being prepared, which is likely to be
+ operational in December.
+
A new website is being worked on, to be launched the 1st
+ of January, 2016.
+
+
+
+
+
+
The new Gnome 3 desktop does not work for everyone
+ and still has issues. Anyone capable of diagnosing these issues
+ can give the Gnome 3 LiveCD a try. Please see the linked
+ forum thread for more information.
+
+
+
+
Several ports fail to compile with our own build
+ infrastructure, and require bug reports in order to get
+ them fixed upstream.
+
+
+
+
A 'State of the Project 2015' is due in Q4, providing an
+ overview for future development of the project.
