The &man.cpuset.1; userland utility has been added - to allow manipulation of processor sets. - - The &man.ddb.4; kernel debugger now has an output capture - facility. Input and output from &man.ddb.4; can now be captured - to a memory buffer for later inspection using &man.sysctl.8; or - a textdump. The new capture command controls - this feature. - - The &man.ddb.4; debugger now supports a simple scripting - facility, which supports a set of named scripts consisting of a - set of &man.ddb.4; commands. These commands can be managed from - within &man.ddb.4; or with the use of the new &man.ddb.8; - utility. More details can be found in the &man.ddb.4; manual - page. - - The kernel now supports a new textdump format of kernel - dumps. A textdump provides higher-level information via - mechanically generated/extracted debugging output, rather than a - simple memory dump. This facility can be used to generate brief - kernel bug reports that are rich in debugging information, but - are not dependent on kernel symbol tables or precisely - synchronized source code. More information can be found in the - &man.textdump.4; manual page. - - Kernel support for M:N threading has been removed. While - the KSE (Kernel Scheduled Entities) project was quite successful - in bringing threading to FreeBSD, the M:N approach taken by the - KSE library was never developed to its full potential. - Backwards compatibility for applications using KSE threading - will be provided via &man.libmap.conf.5; for dynamically linked - binaries. The &os; Project greatly appreciates the work of - &a.julian;, &a.deischen;, and &a.davidxu; on KSE support. - - The &os; kernel now exports information about certain kernel - features via the kern.features sysctl tree. - The &man.feature.present.3; library call provides a convenient - interface for user applications to test the presence of - features. - - The &os; kernel now has support for large - memory page mappings (superpages). - - The ULE - scheduler is now the default process scheduler - in GENERIC kernels. - - Support was added for - the new Intel on-CPU Bull Mountain random number - generator, found on IvyBridge and supposedly later CPUs, - accessible with RDRAND instruction. +   Virtualization support - The BSD Hypervisor, &man.bhyve.8; is included - with &os;. &man.bhyve.8; requires Intel CPUs with VT-x and Extended Page Table (EPT) - support. These features are on all Nehalem models and beyond - (e.g. Nehalem and newer), but not on the lower-end Atom CPUs. - - &man.virtio.4; support has been added. &man.virtio.4; is the - name for the paravirtualization interface developed for the Linux KVM, but - since adopted to other virtual machine hypervisors (with the notable exception of Xen). - This work brings in a BSD-licensed clean-room implementation of the virtio kernel drivers - for disk IO (&man.virtio_blk.4; and &man.virtio_scsi.4;), network IO (&man.vtnet.4;), - memory ballooning (&man.virtio_balloon.4;), and PCI. - Tested with on Qemu/KVM, VirtualBox, and &man.bhyve.4;. - - Paravirtualized drivers which - support Microsoft Hyper-V have been imported and made - part of the amd64 GENERIC kernel.

Please refer to: - FreeBSD and Microsoft Windows Server Hyper-V support - for full instructions on how to set up Hyper-V support under FreeBSD. - - The &man.vmx.4; driver has been added. - &man.vmx.4; is a VMware VMXNET3 ethernet driver ported from - OpenBSD. - Xen PVHVM virtualization is now - part of the GENERIC kernel. +   ARM support - Raspberry PI support has been added. - Refer to these setup instructions - and quick start - guide. - - The default ABI on ARM is now the ARM EABI. This brings a number of - improvements and allows future support for VFP and Thumb-2. - - ARM support has been greatly improved, including support - for ARMv6 and ARMv7, SMP and thread-local storage (TLS). - Additionally support for some newer SoC like the MV78x60 and OMAP4 was added. - See this announcement - for further details. - - Superpages support on ARM has been added. Superpages support - provides improved performance and scalability by allowing TLB - translations to dynamically cover large physical memory regions. - All ARMv6 and ARMv7-based platforms can take advantage of this feature. - See this page - for further details. +   Boot Loader Changes - The BTX kernel used by the boot - loader has been changed to invoke BIOS routines from real - mode. This change makes it possible to boot &os; from USB - devices. - - A new gptboot boot loader has - been added to support booting from a GPT labeled disk.
