This tunable can be set - to -1 (default), 0 and - 1. The -1 is same as - the current behavior, which automatically - disables CLFLUSH on Intel CPUs without - CPUID_SS (this should occurr on Xen - only). You can specify 1 when this panic - happens on non-Intel CPUs (such as AMD's). Because disabling - CLFLUSH can reduce performance, you can try - with setting 0 on Intel CPUs - without SS to - use CLFLUSH feature. - - The &man.jail.8; subsystem has been updated. Changes include: - - - - A new virtualization container - named vimage has been implemented. This is - not enabled by default. To enable this, add the following - kernel options to your kernel configuration file and - rebuild the kernel: - - options VIMAGE - - Note that options SCTP in the - GENERIC kernel is not compatible with - options VIMAGE. This limitation will - be fixed in the next release. - - The vimage is a jail with a virtualized instance of - the &os; network stack. It can be created by using - &man.jail.8; command like this: - - &prompt.root; jail -c vnet name=vnet1 host.hostname=vnet1.example.net path=/ persist - - The vimage has own loopback interface and a separated - network stack including the L3 routing tables. Network - interfaces on the system can be moved by using - &man.ifconfig.8; option between the - different vimage jails and outside of them. - - Furthermore, the &man.epair.4; pseudo-interface driver - has been added to help communication between vimage jails. - It emulates a pair of back-to-back connected Ethernet - interfaces. For example, the following commands create an - interface pair of &man.epair.4;: - - &prompt.root; ifconfig epair0 create -epair0a -&prompt.root; ifconfig epair0a -epair0a: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 - ether 02:c0:64:00:07:0a -&prompt.root; ifconfig epair0b -epair0b: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 - ether 02:c0:64:00:08:0b - - The &man.epair.4; pseudo-interfaces and any physical - interfaces on the system can be moved between vimage jails - by using &man.ifconfig.8; option as - described above. Even after half of an &man.epair.4; pair - is moved, the back-to-back connection still valid and can - be used for inter-jail communication. - - Note that vimage is still considered as an - experimental feature. - - - - A jail can now have arbitrary named parameters similar - to environmental variables and the fixed jail parameters - in the previous releases have been replaced with them. - The jail name can now be used for identifying the jail in - &man.jexec.8; and &man.killall.1;. - - - - Multiple IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses per jail are now - supported. It is even possible to have jails without - an IP address at all, which basically gives one a chrooted - environment with restricted process view and no - networking. - - - - SCTP (&man.sctp.4;) with IPv6 in jails has been - implemented. - - - - Specific CPU binding by using &man.cpuset.1; has been - implemented. Note that the current implementation allows - the superuser inside of the jail to change the CPU - bindings specified. - - - - A &man.jail.8; can start with a specific route - FIB now. - - - - The &man.ddb.8; kernel debugger now supports a - show jails subcommand. - - - - Compatibility support which permits 32-bit jail - binaries to be used on 64-bit systems to manage jails has - been added. - - - - Note that both version numbers of - jail and prison in - the &man.jail.8; have been updated for the new - features. - - - - The &man.ksyms.4;, kernel symbol table - interface driver has been added. It creates a character - device /dev/ksyms and provides - read-only access to a snapshot of the kernel symbol - table. - - The &os; Linux emulation - layer has been updated to version 2.6.16 and the default Linux - infrastructure port is - emulators/linux_base-f10 (Fedora - 10). - - The &os;/&arch.arm; now - supports mini dump. - - The &os;/&arch.powerpc; now - supports kernel core dump. - - The &os; virtual memory - subsystem now supports fully transparent use of - superpages for application memory; - application memory pages are dynamically promoted to or - demoted from superpages without any modification to - application code. This change offers the benefit of large - page sizes such as improved virtual memory efficiency and - reduced TLB (translation lookaside buffer) misses without - downsides like application changes and virtual memory - inflexibility. This can be enabled by setting a loader tunable - vm.pmap.pg_ps_enabled to - 1 and is enabled by default on - &arch.amd64;. - - The &man.ddb.8; kernel debugger now supports a - show mount subcommand. - - The &os; DTrace subsystem now supports a probe for - process execution. - - The &os; kernel virtual address - space has been increased to 6GB. This allows subsystems to use - larger virtual memory space than before. For example, the - &man.zfs.8; adaptive replacement cache (ARC) requires large - kernel memory space to cache file system data, so it benefits - from the increased address space. Note that the ceiling on - the kernel map size is now 60% of the size of physical memory - rather than an absolute quantity. - - The &man.kld.4; now supports installing 32-bit - system calls to the &os; syscall translation layer from kernel - modules. - - The &man.ktr.4; now supports a new KTR tracepoint in the - KTR_CALLOUT class to note when a callout - routine finishes executing. - - Types of variables used to track the amount of allocated - System V shared memory have been changed from - int to size_t. This - makes it possible to use more than 2 GB of memory for shared - memory segments on 64-bit architectures. Please note the new - BUGS section in &man.shmctl.2; and - /usr/src/UPDATING for limitations of this - temporary solution. - - The &man.sysctl.3; leaf nodes have a flag to tag - themselves as MPSAFE now. - - The &os; 32-bit system call translation layer now - supports installing 32-bit system calls for - VFS_AIO. - - The &man.clock.gettime.2; and the related system calls now - support a clock ID CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, - as defined in POSIX. - - The &man.cpuset.2; system call has been added. This is an - API for thread to CPU binding and CPU resource grouping and - assignment. - - The DTrace, a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework and - &man.dtrace.1; userland utility have been imported from - OpenSolaris. DTrace provides a powerful infrastructure to - permit administrators, developers, and service personnel to - concisely answer arbitrary questions about the behavior of the - operating system and user programs. - - 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 &man.ddb.4; ex command now supports - an mode which interprets and prints the - value at the requested address as a symbol. For example, - ex /S aio_swake - prints the name of the function currently registered in - via aio_swake hook. - - The &man.ddb.4; show conifhk command has - been added. This lists hooks currently waiting for completion - in run_interrupt_driven_config_hooks(). - - The &man.fcntl.2; system call now supports - F_DUP2FD command. This is equivalent to - &man.dup.2;, and compatible with the Sun Solaris and the IBM - AIX. - - The &os;'s &man.linux.4; ABI support now implements - sched_setaffinity() and - sched_getaffinity() using real CPU affinity - setting primitives. - - The &man.procstat.1; utility has been added. This is a - process inspection utility which provides some of the missing - functionality from &man.procfs.5; and new functionality for monitoring - and debugging specific processes. - - The client side functionality of &man.rpc.lockd.8; has been - implemented in the &os; kernel. This implementation provides the - correct semantics for &man.flock.2; style locks which are used - by the &man.lockf.1; command line tool and the &man.pidfile.3; - library. It also implements recovery from server restarts and - ensures that dirty cache blocks are written to the server before - obtaining locks (allowing multiple clients to use file locking - to safely share data). Also, a new kernel option - options NFSLOCKD has been added and enabled - by default. If the kernel support is enabled, &man.rpc.lockd.8; - automatically detects and uses the functionality. - - The &os; 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. - - The &man.wait4.2; system call now supports - flag to keep the process whose status - is returned in a waitable state and - which is equivalent to . - - The &os; kernel now has - initial support of binding interrupts to CPUs. - - The &man.sched.ule.4; scheduler is now the default - process scheduler in GENERIC - kernels. - - The sysctl - variables kern.features.compat_freebsd[456] - have been added. These are corresponding to the kernel options - COMPAT_FREEBSD[456]. - - - Boot Loader Changes - - The boot0 boot - loader now preserves volume ID at offset - 0x1b8 used in other operating systems - - The &man.boot0cfg.8; utility now supports a - new option to set the volume ID. - - The &man.loader.8; now - supports U-Boot support library. - - The &man.boot.8; now supports 4-byte volume ID that - certain versions of &windows; put into the MBR and invoking - PXE by pressing the F6 key on some supported BIOSes. - - The &man.boot.8; BTX loader has been - improved. This fixes several boot issues on recent machines - reported for 7.1-RELEASE and before. - - The &man.loader.8; is now able to obtain DHCP options - from network boot via &man.kenv.2; variables. - - A bug in the &man.loader.8; has been fixed. Now the - following line works as expected: - - loader_conf_files="foo bar ${variable}" - - 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. A - new boot command has been added to - &man.gpt.8;, which makes a GPT disk bootable by writing the - required bits of the boot loader, creating a new boot - partition if required. - - - - Hardware Support - - The &os; now includes experimental support - for &arch.mips; platform. - - Support for RTC on Dallas Semiconductor chips - has been improved. The DS133x and DS1553 are now - supported. - - The &os;/&arch.arm; now supports - Feroceon and Sheeva embedded CPU, Marvell Orion (88F5281), - Kirkwood (88F6281), Discovery Innovation (MV-78100) - systems-on-chip CPU. - - The &os;/&arch.powerpc; now - supports SMP machines - - The &os;/&arch.powerpc; now - supports E500 (Book-E) embedded CPU and Freescale - PowerQUICCIII MPC85xx system-on-chip (including single and - dual-core). - - The &man.acpi.4; subsystem now supports the System - Resource Affinity Table (SRAT) used to describe affinity - relationships between CPUs and memory, ACPI 3.0 fields in - the MADT including X2APIC entries and UIDs for local SAPICs, and - ACPI 3.0 flags in the FADT. - - The &man.cpufreq.4; framework now - supports PowerPC G5, along with a skeleton SMU driver in order to slew - CPU voltage during frequency changes. - - The sec(4) driver has been added to provide - support for the integrated security engine found in - Freescale system-on-chip devices. - - The &os; TTY layer has been replaced with a - new one which has better support for SMP and robust resource - handling. A tty now has own mutex and it is expected to - improve scalability when compared to the old implementation - based on the Giant lock. - - The &man.uart.4; driver is now the - default driver for serial port devices in favor of the - &man.sio.4; driver. Note that the device nodes have been - renamed from - /dev/cuadN and - /dev/ttydN to - /dev/cuauN and - /dev/ttyuN. - - - Users who are upgrading will need to change their - kernel configurations and possibly also - /boot/loader.conf and - /boot/device.hints. - - - The &os; USB subsystem has been reimplemented - to support modern devices and better SMP scalability. The - new implementation includes Giant-lock-free device drivers, - a Linux compatibility layer, &man.usbconfig.8; utility, full - support for split transaction and isochronous transaction, - and more. Device node names for USB devices are now in a - the form - of /dev/usb/bus.dev.endpoint, - and /dev/usbctl is the master device - node. Note that the &man.ugen.4; driver has nodes for each device as /dev/ugenbus.dev for backward compatibility. - - &os; now supports Ultra SPARC III - (Cheetah) processor family. - - The &man.acpi.4; subsystem now supports a &man.sysctl.8; - variable debug.batt.batt_sleep_ms. On - some laptops with smart batteries, enabling battery - monitoring software causes keystrokes from &man.atkbd.4; to - be lost. This sysctl variable adds a delay in millisecond - to the status checking code as a workaround. - - The &man.acpi.asus.4; driver now supports Asus A8Sr - notebooks. - - Support for the AltiVec, a floating point - and integer SIMD instruction set has been added. - - The &man.cpuctl.4; driver, which provides a special - device /dev/cpuctl as an interface to - the system CPU has been added. The &man.cpuctl.4; - functionality includes the ability to retrieve CPUID - information, read/write machine specific registers (MSR), - and perform CPU firmware updates. - - The &man.cpufreq.4; driver now supports an - hw.est.msr_info loader tunable. When - this is set to 1, it attempts to build a - simple list containing just the high and low frequencies if - it cannot obtain a frequency list from either ACPI or the - static tables. This is disabled by default. - - CPU frequency change notifiers are now - disabled when the TSC is P-state invariant. Also, a new - loader tunable - kern.timecounter.invariant_tsc has been - added to force this behavior by setting it to - non-zero. - - The &man.atkbd.4; driver now disables the interrupt - handler which is called from the keyboard callback function - when polled mode is enabled. This fixes the problem of - duplicated/missing characters at the mountroot prompt on - multi CPU systems while &man.kbdmux.4; is enabled. - - In the &man.pci.4; subsystem INTx is now disabled when - MSI/MSIX is enabled. This change fixes interrupt storm - related issues. - - The schizo(4) driver for Schizo - Fireplane/Safari to PCI 2.1 and Tomatillo JBus to PCI 2.2 - bridges has been added. - - The &man.u3g.4; driver for USB based 3G cards and - dongles including Vodafone Mobile Connect Card 3G, Qualcomm - CDMA MSM, Huawei E220, Novatel U740, Sierra MC875U, and more - has been added. This provides support for the multiple - USB-to-serial interfaces exposed by many 3G USB/PC Card - modems, and the device is accessed through the &man.ucom.4; - driver which makes it behave like a &man.tty.4;. - - The &man.sched.ule.4; scheduler now supports - the loader tunable - machdep.hyperthreading_enabled just like - &man.sched.4bsd.4;. Note that it cannot be modified at - run-time. - - The &man.cmx.4; driver, a driver for Omnikey CardMan 4040 - PCMCIA smartcard readers, has been added. - - The &man.kbdmux.4; driver now - supports &arch.sparc64;. The &man.sunkbd.4; driver now - supports &man.atkbd.4; emulation like &man.ukbd.4;. - - The nvram(4) driver is now - MPSAFE. - - An option of the &man.puc.4; - driver, PUC_FASTINTR, is no longer - supported. - - The &man.psm.4; driver now attempts detection of Synaptics - touchpad before IntelliMouse. Some touchpads will pretend to - be IntelliMouse causing the IntelliMouse probe to work and the - Synaptics detection never to be done. - - The &man.uslcom.4; driver, a driver for Silicon - Laboratories CP2101/CP2102-based USB serial adapters, has been - imported from OpenBSD. - - - Multimedia Support - - The &os; audio subsystem has been improved. - The changes include volume per channel, high quality - fixed-point band-limited SINC sampling rate converter, - bit-perfect mode, transparent/adaptive virtual channel, - and exclusive stream. For more details, see the - &man.snd.4; manual page. - - The &man.agp.4; driver now supports Intel G4X series - graphics chipsets. - - The Direct Rendering Manager - (DRM), a kernel module that - gives direct hardware access to DRI clients, has been - updated. Support for AMD/ATI r500, r600, r700, and IGP - based chips, XGI V3XE/V5/V8, and Intel i915 chipsets has - been improved. - - A new loader tunable hw.drm.msi has - been added to control if DRM uses MSI or not. This is set - to 1 (enabled) by default. - - The snd_au88x0(4) driver for Aureal Vortex - 1/2/Advantage PCI has been removed because it has been - broken for a long time. - - The &man.snd.hda.4; driver has been updated. These - changes include support for multiple codecs per HDA bus, - multiple functional groups per codec, multiple audio - devices per functional group, digital (SPDIF/HDMI) audio - input/output, suspend/resume, and part of multichannel - audio. - - Note that due to added HDMI audio and - logical audio devices support, the updated driver often - provides several PCM devices.
