Documentation Expand section Collapse section

Man pages, release notes, etc.

ELF support was added to nlist() in 1997, and a.out support was removed
in 2020.  The man page was not updated for either of these changes.

Hardware drivers and architecture-specific code.

Yes this printf is for local debugging and not required at all on anything.

tcp: Make RFC 6191 support configurable

Add a default-on per-VIMAGE sysctl for RFC 6191 connection recycling.
This makes it possible to merge the change to older branches where it
can be switched off by default to minimize risk.

System administration Expand section Collapse section

Stuff in man section 8 (other than networking).

We already run `certctl rehash` at the end, there is no point in asking
users upgrading from 15.0 to 15.1 to manually merge the trust store.

Libraries Expand section Collapse section

If the old limit had family/hosts/sockaddr set, the new limit must
have them too. Before, a missing key in the new limit was treated as
"allow any", which let a caller silently extend their limits.

Technically, virtio_p9fs is an emulated device that masquerades
as a p9fs mount, but it does not make sense to have two separate manual
pages.

Reverted commits Expand section Collapse section

asmc: fix asmc_key_dump() page fault on T2 MMIO backend

asmc_key_dump() used I/O port macros (ASMC_DATAPORT_WRITE/READ,
asmc_command()) unconditionally. On T2 Macs, sc_ioport is NULL
(MMIO backend is used instead), causing a page fault when
ASMC_DEBUG triggers asmc_dumpall() during attach.

Add an MMIO guard at the top of asmc_key_dump(): delegate to
asmc_key_dump_by_index() + asmc_key_read() for MMIO devices,
consistent with the rest of the T2 code paths.

Revert "asmc: fix asmc_key_dump() page fault on T2 MMIO backend"

This reverts commit 3abc07947c14f5c30e5328d56a2da8dbf8412ebf.

I'm not sure how this built locally for me but obviously failed
in CI; I'll go figure that out with the submitter and come back.

Technical notes

Dates:

• The dates are "approximate" because git has no record of exactly when each commit was added. The "author date" and "commit date" are text fields controlled by each committer, not the actual date the commit reaches cgit.freebsd.org/src. Git accurately records the order of commits, but not their dates.

Automatic grouping:

• "Commit & revert pair" groups were automatically grouped when a commit's (full) message contained

  This reverts commit \\b([0-9a-fA-F]{40})\\b

  and the hash was found in this week's commits.
• "Commit group #" groups were automatically grouped when 3 or more consecutive commits by the same author had the same category and summary prefix.

Automatic categories:

• Commits were (mostly) automatically classified based on regex pattern-matching on the commit's modified files, summary, or the whole commit message. The goal is to have the system automatically classify 95% of the commits, with 95% accuracy; then we'll manually check the results and fix the incorrectly-classified and unclassified commits.
