+ Introduction + +

As spring leads into summer, we reflect back on what the + FreeBSD project has accomplished in the first quarter of 2019. + Events included FOSDEM and AsiaBSDCon, the FreeBSD Journal + is now free to everyone, ASLR is available in -CURRENT and KPTI + can be controlled per-process. The run up to 11.3-RELEASE + has begun, and a team is applying syzkaller guided fuzzing + to the kernel, plus so much more. Catch up on many new and + ongoing efforts throughout the project, and find where you can + pitch in.

+ + + + FreeBSD Release Engineering Team + + + + FreeBSD Release Engineering Team + re@FreeBSD.org + + + + + FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE schedule + FreeBSD development snapshots + + + +

The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is responsible for + setting and + publishing release schedules for official project releases + of + FreeBSD, announcing code freezes and maintaining the + respective + branches, among other things.

+ +

During the first quarter of 2019, the FreeBSD Release + Engineering team + published the initial schedule for the upcoming the + 11.3-RELEASE.

+ +

FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE will be the fourth release from the + stable/11 + branch, building on the stability and reliability of + 11.2-RELEASE. + FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE is currently targed for release in + early July, 2019.

+ +

Additionally throughout the quarter, several development + snapshots builds + were released for the head, stable/12, + and stable/11 branches.

+ +

Much of this work was sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation.

As always, below is a summary of what happened in the + Ports Tree during the + last quarter.

+ +

During 2019q1, the number of ports dropped slightly to + just over 32,500. At + the end of the quarter, we had 2092 open port PRs. The + last quarter saw 8205 + commits from 167 committers. So more PRs were closed and + more commits were + made than in 2018q4.

+ +

During the last quarter, we welcomed Kai Knoblich (kai@) + and said goodbye to + Matthew Rezny (rezny@).

+ +

On the infrastructure side, two new USES were introduced + (azurepy and sdl) and + USES=gecko was removed. The default versions of Lazarus + and LLVM were bumped + to 2.0.0 and 8.0 respectively. Some big port frameworks + that were end-of-life + were removed: PHP 5.6, Postgresql 9.3, Qt4, WebKit-Gtk and + XPI. Firefox was + updated to 66.0.2, Firefox-ESR to 60.6.1, and Chromium was + updated to + 72.0.3626.121.

+ +

During the last quarter, antoine@ ran 30 exp-runs for + package updates, moving + from GNU ld to LLVM ld, and switching clang to DWARF4.

+ + + + + + + FreeBSD Core Team + + + + FreeBSD Core Team + core@FreeBSD.org + + + + +

The FreeBSD Core Team is the governing body of FreeBSD.

+ +

Core initiated a Release Engineering Charter + Modernization working + group. The purpose of the working group is to present (to + Core) a + modernized version of the Release Engineering + Charter and a first + version of a new Release Engineering Team Operations + Plan. The + group hopes to complete its goals and dissolve by + 2019-06-30.

+ +

The Core Team invites all members of the FreeBSD community + to + complete the 2019 FreeBSD Community Survey.

+ +

https://www.research.net/r/freebsd2019

+ +

The purpose of the survey is to collect quantitative data + from the + public in order to help guide the project's priorities and + efforts. + It will remain open for 17 days and close at midnight May + 13 UTC + (Monday 5pm PDT). + (Editor's note: Survey has finished)

+ +

Core voted to approve source commit bits for Johannes + Lundberg + (johalun@) and Mitchell Horne (mhorne@) and associate + membership + for Philip Jocks. Core also voted to revoke Michael + Dexter's + documentation bit.

+ +

After a long lapse of not closing idle source commit bits, + core has + taken in the commit bit for these developers. We thank + each for + contributing to the project as a source committer.

+ + + + + + + FreeBSD Foundation + + + + Deb Goodkin + deb@FreeBSDFoundation.org + + + + +

The FreeBSD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit + organization dedicated to + supporting and promoting the FreeBSD Project and community + worldwide. + Funding comes from individual and corporate donations and + is used to fund + and manage software development projects, conferences and + developer summits, + and provide travel grants to FreeBSD contributors.

+ +

The Foundation purchases and supports hardware to improve + and maintain + FreeBSD infrastructure and provides resources to improve + security, + quality assurance, and release engineering efforts; + publishes + marketing material to promote, educate, and advocate for + the FreeBSD Project; + facilitates collaboration between commercial vendors and + FreeBSD developers; + and finally, represents the FreeBSD Project in executing + contracts, + license agreements, and other legal arrangements that + require + a recognized legal entity.

+ +

Here are some highlights of what we did to help FreeBSD + last quarter:

+ +

We kicked off the year with an all-day board meeting in + Berkeley, + where FreeBSD began, to put together high-level plans for + 2019. + This included prioritizing technologies and features we + should support, + long-term planning for the next 2-5 years, and + philosophical discussions + on our purpose and goals.

+ +

Partnerships and Commercial User Support

+ +

We began the year by meeting with a few commercial users, + to help them + navigate working with the Project, and understanding how + they are using + FreeBSD. We're also in the process of setting up meetings + for Q2 and + throughout the rest of 2019. Because we're a 501(c)(3) + non-profit, we + don't directly support commercial users. + However, these meetings allow us to focus on facilitating + collaboration + with the community.

+ +

Fundraising Efforts

+ +

Our work is 100% funded by your donations. We kicked off + the year with many + individual and corporate donations, including donations + and commitments from + NetApp, Netflix, Intel, Tarsnap, Beckhoff Automation, + E-Card, VMware, and + Stormshield. We are working hard to get more commercial + users to give back + to help us continue our work supporting FreeBSD. + Please consider making a + donation + to help us continue and increase our support for FreeBSD + at: + www.FreeBSDfoundation.org/donate/.

+ +

We also have the Partnership Program, to provide more + benefits for our + larger commercial donors. Find out more information at + + https://www.FreeBSDfoundation.org/FreeBSD-foundation-partnership-program/ + and share with your companies!

+ +

OS Improvements

+ +

The Foundation improves the FreeBSD operating system by + employing our + technical staff to maintain and improve critical kernel + subsystems, + add features and functionality, and fix problems. This + also includes funding + separate project grants like + the arm64 port, porting the blacklistd access control + daemon, and the + integration of VIMAGE support, + to make sure that FreeBSD remains a viable solution for + research, education, + computing, products and more.

+ +

Over the quarter there were 241 commits from nine + Foundation-sponsored staff + members and grant recipients.

+ +

We kicked off or continued the following projects last + quarter:

+ +
    +
  • FUSE file system kernel support (update and bug fixes)
    • + +
  • Linuxulator testing and diagnostics improvements
    • + +
  • SDIO and WiFi infrastructure improvements
    • + +
  • x86-64 scalability and performance improvements
    • + +
  • OpenZFS Online RAID-Z Expansion
    • +
+ +

+ Having software developers on staff has allowed us to jump + in and + work directly on projects to improve FreeBSD like:

+ +
    +
  • amd64 and i386 pmap improvements and bugfixes
    • + +
  • address userland threading library issues
    • + +
  • improve i386 support to keep the platform viable
    • + +
  • improve FreeBSD on RISC-V
    • + +
  • application of the Capsicum sandboxing framework
    • + +
  • build system improvements and bug fixes
    • + +
  • respond to reports of security issues
    • + +
  • implement vulnerability mitigations
    • + +
  • tool chain updates and improvements
    • + +
  • adding kernel code coverage support for the + Syzkaller + coverage-guided system call + fuzzer
    • + +
  • improved Syzkaller support for FreeBSD
    • + +
  • improve the usability of freebsd-update
    • + +
  • improve network stack stability and address race + conditions
    • + +
  • ensure FreeBSD provides userland interfaces required by + contemporary + applications
    • + +
  • implement support for machine-dependent optimized + subroutines
    • + +
  • update and correct documentation and manpages
    • + +
  • DTrace bug fixes
    • + +
  • update the FreeBSD Valgrind port and try to upstream the + changes
    • +
+ +

+ Continuous Integration and Quality Assurance

+ +

The Foundation provides a full-time staff member who is + working on improving + our automated testing, continuous integration, and overall + quality assurance + efforts.

+ +

During the first quarter of 2019, Foundation staff + continued improving the + project's CI infrastructure, working with contributors to + fix failing build + and test cases, and working with other teams in the + project for their + testing needs. In this quarter, we started publishing the + CI + weekly report + on the freebsd-testing@ mailing list.

+ +

See the FreeBSD CI section of this report for more + information.

+ +

Release Engineering

+ +

The Foundation provides a full-time staff member to + oversee the + release engineering efforts. This has provided timely and + reliable releases + over the last five years.

+ +

During the first quarter of 2019, the FreeBSD Release + Engineering team + continued providing weekly development snapshots for + 13-CURRENT, 12-STABLE, + and 11-STABLE.

+ +

In addition, the Release Engineering team published the + schedule for the + upcoming 11.3-RELEASE cycle, the fourth release from the + stable/11 branch, + which builds on the stability and reliability of + 11.2-RELEASE.

+ +

The upcoming + 11.3-RELEASE + schedule + can be found at: + https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.3R/schedule.html

+ +

FreeBSD 11.3 is currently targeted for final release in + early July 2019.

+ +

Please see the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team section of + this quarterly + status report for additional details surrounding the above + mentioned work.

+ +

Supporting FreeBSD Infrastructure

+ +

The Foundation provides hardware and support to improve + FreeBSD infrastructure. Last quarter, we continued + supporting FreeBSD hardware located + around the world.

+ +

FreeBSD Advocacy and Education

+ +

A large part of our efforts are dedicated to advocating + for the Project. + This includes promoting work being done by others with + FreeBSD; producing + advocacy literature to teach people about FreeBSD and help + make the path to + starting using FreeBSD or contributing to the Project + easier; and attending + and getting other FreeBSD contributors to volunteer to run + FreeBSD events, + staff FreeBSD tables, and give FreeBSD presentations.

+ +

The FreeBSD Foundation sponsors many conferences, events, + and summits + around the globe. These events can be BSD-related, open + source, + or technology events geared towards underrepresented + groups. We support + the FreeBSD-focused events to help provide a venue for + sharing knowledge, + to work together on projects, and to facilitate + collaboration between + developers and commercial users. This all helps provide a + healthy ecosystem. + We support the non-FreeBSD events to promote and raise + awareness of FreeBSD, + to increase the use of FreeBSD in different applications, + and to recruit + more contributors to the Project.

+ +

Check out some of the advocacy and education work we did + last quarter:

+ +
    +
  • Attended FOSDEM 2019 where we: staffed the FreeBSD Stand, + sponsored the + co-located FreeBSD Developer Summit, and gave the 25 Years + of FreeBSD + presentation in the BSD Dev room.

The FreeBSD CI team maintains continuous integration + system and + related tasks for the FreeBSD project. The CI system + regularly + checks the changes committed to the project's Subversion + repository + can be successfully built, and performs various tests and + analysis + of the results. The results from build jobs are archived + in an + artifact server, for the further testing and debugging + needs. The + CI team members examine the failing builds and unstable + tests, and + work with the experts in that area to fix the code or + adjust test + infrastructure.

+ +

Starting from this quarter, we started to publish CI + weekly report at + freebsd-testing@ + mailing list. The archive is available at + https://hackfoldr.org/freebsd-ci-report/

+ +

We also worked on extending test executing environment + to improve the code coverage, temporarily disabling flakey + test cases, + and opening tickets to work with domain experts. The + details are + of these efforts are available in the weekly CI reports.

+ +

We published the + draft + FCP for CI policy + and are ready to accept comments.

+ +

Please see freebsd-testing@ related tickets for more + information.

+ +

Work in progress:

+ +
    +
  • Fixing the failing test cases and builds
    • + +
  • Adding drm ports building test against -CURRENT
    • + +
  • Implementing automatic tests on bare metal hardware
    • + +

+ + + + + + + Security-Related changes + + + + Konstantin Belousov + kib@freebsd.org + + + + +

ASLR

+ +

The ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) patch from + review + D5603 was + committed into svn. While debate continues about the + current and + forward-looking value ASLR provides, having an + implementation in + the FreeBSD source tree makes it easily available to those + who wish + to use it. This also moves the conversation past the + relative + merits to more comprehensive security controls.

+ +

KPTI per-process control

+ +

The KPTI (Kernel Page Table Isolation) implementation was + structured + so that most selections of page isolation mode were local + to the + current address space. In other words, the global control + variable + pti was almost unused in the code paths, instead the + user/kernel + %cr3 values were directly loaded into registers or + compared to see + if the user page table was trimmed. Some missed bits of + code were + provided by Isilon, and then bugs were fixed and last + places of + direct use of pti were removed.

+ +

Now when the system starts in the pti-enabled mode, + proccontrol(1) can + be used by root to selectively disable KPTI mode for + children of a + process. The motivation is that if you trust the program + that you + run, you can get the speed of non-pti syscalls back, but + still run + your normal user session in PTI mode. E.g., firefox would + be properly + isolated.

+ +

Feature-control bits

+ +

Every FreeBSD executable now contains a bit mask intended + for + enabling/disabling security-related features which makes + sense for the + binary. This mask is part of the executable segments + loaded on image + activation, and thus is part of any reasonable way to + authenticate the + binary content.

+ +

For instance, the ASLR compatibility is de-facto the + property of the + image and not of the process executing the image. The + first (zero) + bit in the mask controls ASLR opt-out. Other OSes (e.g. + Solaris) used + an OS-specific dynamic flag, which has the same runtime + properties + but leaves less bits to consume in the feature-control + mask.

+ +

The feature-control mask is read both by kernel and by + rtld during + image activation. It is expected that more features will + be added + to FreeBSD and the mask can be used for enabling/disabling + those + features..

+ +

It is expected that a tool to manipulate the mask will be + provided + shortly, see review + D19290.

+ +

+ + + + + The FreeBSD Foundation + + + + + + AXP803 PMIC driver update + + + + Ganbold Tsagaankhuu + ganbold@FreeBSD.org + + + + +

The AXP803 is a highly integrated PMIC that targets + Li-battery + (Li-ion or Li-polymer) applications. It provides flexible + power + management solution for processors such as the Allwinner + A64 SoC. + This SoC is used by Pinebook.

+ +

The following updates were performed on the AXP803 driver:

+ +
    +
  • Enabled necessary bits when activating interrupts. This + allows + reading some events from the interrupt status registers. + These + events are reported to devd via system "PMU" and subsystem + "Battery", "AC" and "USB" such as plugged/unplugged, + battery + absent, charged and charging.
    • + +
  • Added sensors support for AXP803/AXP813. Sensor values + such as + battery charging, charge state, voltage, charging current, + discharging current, battery capacity can be obtained via + sysctl.
    • + +
  • Added sysctl for setting battery charging current. The + charging + current can be set using steps from 0 to 13. These steps + correspond to 200mA to 2800mA, with a granularity of + 200mA/step.
