Transparent superpage support has been added. This will allow + &os; to create 2MiB blocks with a single pagetable and TLB entry. + This has shown a small but significant improvement in the + buildworld time on ThunderX machines. Superpages have been + enabled in head with and merged to stable/11, but they are + disabled by default on stable/11 due to a lack of testing + there.

+ +

Support for the pre-INTRNG interrupt framework has been + removed. This means that arm64 requires INTRNG to even build. + This has allowed various cleanups within the arm64 drivers that + interact with the interrupt controller.

+ +

The cortex Strings library from Linaro has been imported. The + parts of this that have been shown to be improvements over the + previous C code were attached to the libc build.

+ +

There is ongoing work to add ACPI support to the kernel. On + ThunderX, &os; can get to the mountroot prompt, however, due to + incomplete ACPI tables the external PCIe support needed to support + the netboot setup in the test cluster is not functional.

+ +

Pine64 support has been committed to head. &os; can now boot + to multiuser with SMP enabled. This includes support for clocks, + the secure ID controller, USB Host controller, GPIOs, non-maskable + interrupts, the AXP81x power management unit, cpu freqency and + voltage scaling, MMC, UART, gigabit networking, the watchdog, and + the thermal sensors.
