+ Introduction + +

This report covers &os;-related projects between January and + March 2013. This is the first of four reports planned for 2013.

+ +

Highlights from this status report include the busy preparations + of 8.4-RELEASE, restoration of binary package building, steady + progress of several porting efforts, like work on the &os; ports + of xorg, GNOME, KDE, and Xfce, bringing &os; to Cubieboard and + Hackberry boards, development of ARM and AMD GPU support, + improving performance of UFS/FFS and callouts, and introducing a + multipath TCP implementation for the network stack.

+ +

Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! This report + contains 31 entries and we hope you enjoy reading it.

+ +

The deadline for submissions covering the period between April + and June 2013 is July 7th, 2013.

At the end of 2012, the Core Team approved using Google + Analytics on the Project web site to enable the Documentation + Engineering Team to collect statistics on its usage for better + profiling. In the first quarter of 2013, the Core Team worked + with the Documentation Engineering Team to finalize the + associated policies.

+ +

Due to some debates around the political correctness of quotes + added for the fortune(6) utility, the corresponding data file + has been removed from the base system in -CURRENT.

+ +

In light of the security incident, the liaison role between the + Core Team and the Security Team has been restored, with Gavin + Atkinson assuming this role. The Core Team work hard on + resolving the current situation of the binary package building + cluster and the associated security problems in tight + cooperation with the Ports Management Team, Cluster + Administators, and the &os; Foundation Board. The compromise page + is kept updated on the results.

+ +

The &os; Project submitted an application for Google Summer of + Code this year again.

+ +

There was access granted for 2 new committers and 1 commit bit + was taken for safekeeping in this quarter.

The ports tree contains approximately 24,300 ports, while the + PR count still is close to 1600.

+ +

In the first quarter we added 4 new committers, took in 1 + commit bit for safe keeping, and re-instated 1 commit bit.

+ +

In February, Mark Linimon (linimon) stepped down from his + duties in the team. Mark had been the longest serving member of + the team. Mark had spent many long hours refactoring and + documenting the portbuild software to ensure that pointyhat + services could be restored.

+ +

After a security review, redports.org was turned back on, + restoring Tinderbox services to contributors, along with post + commit QATs. In addition, pointyhat infrastructure had also + undergone a review and work begain on restoring the package + build system.

+ +

Erwin Lansing (erwin) and Martin Wilke (miwi) took on the + principle roles of getting the portbuild software installed and + running on pointyhat. As a result of all their hard work, + portmgr@ was finally able to resume doing -exp runs, preparing + packages for the upcoming 8.4 release, as well as getting a set + of 9.1 packages retroactively prepared.

+ +

After many long years of being the defacto standard for the + Project, CVS support for the ports tree officially ended on + February 28.

+ +

The ports tree was tagged with RELEASE_7_EOL, to + coincide with the end of life for &os; 7.X.

+ +

Beat Gaetzi (beat) stepped down from his duties on portmgr@ in + March. Among his notable contributions, was the task of migrating + the Ports Tree from the old CVS repo to Subversion.

+ +

Bryan Drewery (bdrewery) joined the Ports Management team in + March, bringing with him his wealth of knowledge and skill from + maintaining portupgrade, portmaster, assisting with pkgng, as + well as co-developing poudriere.

+ + + + Most ports PRs are assigned, we now need to focus on + testing, committing and closing. + + + + + The &os; Japanese Documentation Project + + + + + Hiroki + Sato + + hrs@FreeBSD.org + + + + + Ryusuke + Suzuki + + ryusuke@FreeBSD.org + + + + + Japanese &os; Web Page + The &os; Japanese Documentation Project Web Page + + + +

Web page (htdocs): Newsflash and some other updates in + the English version have been translated to keep them up-to-date. + Specifically, the release related contents were updated in this + period.

+ +

Books: &os; Handbook has constantly been updated since the last + report; particularly, "ports", "desktop" section were largely + updated. Some progress has been made in the + "advanced-networking" section, contributed by a new + translator.

+ +

Writing &os; Problem Reports article is now in sync with + the English version.

Initial support of Allwinner A10 SoC is committed to -CURRENT. + &os; is now running on boards such as Cubieboard, Hackberry and + it supports following peripherals:

+ +
    +
  • USB EHCI
    • +
  • GPIO
    • +
+ + + + Get EMAC Ethernet driver working. Need more help from + network driver experts. + Implement more drivers. + + + + + Multipath TCP (MPTCP) for &os; + + + + + Nigel + Williams + + njwilliams@swin.edu.au + + + + + Lawrence + Stewart + + lastewart@swin.edu.au + + + + + Grenville + Armitage + + garmitage@swin.edu.au + + + + + + + + + + + +

We have been working to create a BSD-licensed implementation of + Multipath TCP — a set of TCP extensions that allow for + transparent multipath operation with multiple IP addresses as + specified in experimental RFC6824.

+ +

We made our first v0.1 public release on 2013-03-11 and + recently released v0.3 on 2013-04-16. The code is currently + considered to be of alpha quality. We are working towards + pushing the code into a &os; Subversion repository project + branch to continue the on-going development effort in a more + publicly accessible location. As part of this move, we hope to + begin releasing regular snapshot installer ISOs of the MPTCP + project branch courtesy of Hiroki Sato and the allbsd.org daily + snapshot infrastructure.

+ +

We are about to release a CAIA technical report 130424A + entitled Design Overview of Multipath TCP version 0.3 for + &os; 10 on 2013-04-24 which provides a high-level + design and architecture overview of the v0.3 code release.

+ +

Going forward, we expect to continue development and release + additional technical reports and academic papers covering topics + such as performance analysis and multipath congestion + control/scheduling.

+ + + + The code is currently of alpha quality so we welcome all + testing feedback, but please familiarize yourself with the README + file and "Known Limitations" section in particular before + jumping in. + + + + + TCP-AO Authentication Option + + + + + André + Oppermann + + andre@FreeBSD.org + + + + + SVN branch + + + +

Work is under way to implement TCP-AO (TCP Authentication + Option) according to RFC5925 and RFC5926. TCP-AO is an + extension to TCP-MD5 signatures commonly used in routers to + secure BGP routing protocol sessions against spoofing attacks. + The work is under contract and sponsored by Juniper + Networks.

+ + + + + Atomic "close-on-exec" + + + + + Jilles + Tjoelker + + jilles@FreeBSD.org + + + + + + + + +

If threads or signal handlers call fork() and + exec(), file descriptors may be passed undesirably to + child processes, which may lead to hangs (if a pipe is not + closed), exceeding the file descriptor limit and security + problems (if the child process has lower privilege). One + solution is various new APIs that set the close-on-exec + flag atomically with allocating a file descriptor. Some + existing software will use the new features if present or will + even refuse to compile without them.

+ +

Various parts have been present for some time.

+ +

In first quarter of 2013, extensions to recvmsg(), + socket(), socketpair() and + posix_openpt() have been added.

+ + + + + BXR.SU — Super User's BSD Cross Reference + + + + + Constantine A. + Murenin + + cnst++@FreeBSD.org + + + + + BXR.SU — Super User's BSD Cross Reference + + + + +

Super User's BSD Cross Reference (BXR.SU) is a new source-code + search engine that covers the complete kernel and non-GNU + userland source trees of &os;, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and DragonFly + BSD.

+ +

BXR.SU is optimised to be very fast, has daily updates of all + the trees, and also acts as a deterministic URL shortener.

+ +

BXR.SU is based on an OpenGrok fork, but it is more than just + OpenGrok. We have fixed a number of annoyances, eliminated + features that just never worked right from the outright, and + provided integration with tools like CVSweb (including great + mirrors like allbsd.org), &os;'s ViewVC (SVN), as well as GitHub + and Gitweb from git.freebsd.your.org, plus a tad of + other improvements, including a complete rewrite of an mdoc + parser. Last, but definitely not least, is an extensive set of + nginx rewrite rules that makes it a breeze to use BXR.SU as a + deterministic URL compactor for referencing BSD source code. + For example, the http://bxr.su/f/kern/sched_ule.c URL + will automatically redirect to + http://bxr.su/FreeBSD/sys/kern/sched_ule.c through + nginx.

+ +

Note that according to the release schedule of BXR.SU, there is + no IPv4 glue until 2013-04-24; otherwise, the service is available + via both IPv4 and IPv6. See the 2013-04-01 announcement on the + freebsd-hackers mailing list for more details.

In the first quarter of 2013, the &os; Postmaster Team has + implemented the following items that may be interest of the + general public:

+ +
    +
  • Changes in configuration of Mailman-managed lists: allow to + accept the application/pkcs7-signature MIME type (in + addition to the application/x-pkcs7-signature MIME + type), thus permitting S/MIME signatures on list mail.
    • + +
  • New lists: freebsd-ops-announce — + announcements of infrastructure issues, and freebsd-pkg + — discussion of binary package management and package + tools.

+ + + + + &os; Bugmeister Team + + + + + Eitan + Adler + + eadler@FreeBSD.org + + + + + Gavin + Atkinson + + gavin@FreeBSD.org + + + + + Oleksandr + Tymoshenko + + gonzo@FreeBSD.org + + + + + + +

The &os; Bugmeister Team are continuing to evaluate options for + alternate bug trackers and have narrowed their choices to two + possibilities: Bugzilla and roundup.

+ +

The number of non-ports PRs have remained relatively static over + the last three months, with as many coming in as being closed. + The number of ports PRs have increased recently, largely due to + the ports freeze for the upcoming 8.4-RELEASE.

+ +

The Bugmeister 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;!

+ + + + Finalize the decision of which new bug tracker to + use. + + Get more users involved with triaging PRs as they come + in. + + Assist committers with closing PRs. + + + + + callout(9) Improvements + + + + + Davide + Italiano + + davide@FreeBSD.org + + + + + Alexander + Motin + + mav@FreeBSD.org + + + + + + + + + + +

In &os;, timers are provided by the callout facility, which + allows to register a function with an argument to be called at + specified future time. The subsystem suffered of some problems, + such as the impossibility of handling high-resolution events or + its inherent periodic structure, which may lead to spurious + wakeups and higher power consumption. Some consumers, such as + high-speed networking, VoIP and other real-time applications + need a better precision than the one currently allowed.
