device that exports kernel statistics that can be read by <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/kstat.4">kstat(4)</a>.

<li>Added cpu frequency sensors for each core on CPUs that have MPERF/APERF support.

<li>Merged the UVM swap-backed and object-backed inactive page lists.

<li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rwlock.9">rwlock(9)</a>

implementation to be fair to writers. Previously, readers could grab

the lock even if writers were waiting first.

<li>Made the CPU frequency scaling duration relative to the load

when in automatic mode on battery.

<li>Fixed luna88k MULTIPROCESSOR kernels booting with CPU modules

installed in arbitrary slots.

</ul>

<li>SMP Improvements

<li>Added <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kstat.1">kstat(1)</a>, a

utility to display kernel statistics collected by <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/kstat.4">kstat(4)</a>.

<li>Replaced <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rc.d.8">rc.d(8)</a>

$rcexec variable with an rc_exec function. <em>This will require a

mechanical change from <code>${rcexec}</code> to <code>rc_exec</code>

in rc.d scripts.</em> Kept compatibility to give people a chance to

fix their custom scripts.

</ul>

<li>Various bugfixes and tweaks in userland:

Line 208

Line 220

<li>Made use of the fact that repositories are unique objects in <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/pkg_add">pkg_add(1)</a> and annotated

the quirks repository as cached, allowing for a large speed increase.

<li>Enabled <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pkg_add.1">pkg_add(1)</a> caching by default.

<li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kbd.8">kbd(8)</a> so it

doesn't fail silently when executed by a regular user.

<li>Prevented a crash in <a

Line 217

Line 230

<li>Added missing uuid_dec_le() to init_fp() so <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> -A works on

big-endian architectures.

<li>Aligned <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a>

logic with that used in the kernel to allow the protective EFI GPT

partition to be in MBR partitions 0-3, not just 0.

<li>Prevented use of "-u" when <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> is operating on

GPT formatted disks.

<li>Stopped telling <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> that macppc HAS_MBR.

<li>In the <i>sndio</i> library, added the function <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/sio_flush.3">sio_flush(3)</a> to stop

playback immediately. Altered <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/sndiod.8">sndiod(8)</a> to wait until

the buffer is drained before closing the device.

<li>Installed useful <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/btrace.8">btrace(8)</a> scripts in

/usr/share/btrace.

<li>Made <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/xterm.1">xterm(1)</a> use a

much safer FD-passing idiom for updating <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/utmp.5">utmp(5)</a>.

automatically delete trailing whitespace on RET in c-mode and

auto-indent-mode.

</ul>

<li>Improved hardware support and driver bugfixes, including:

Line 247

Line 284

driver for system reset via GPIO pin.

<li>Added support for more power sensors to <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/ipmi.4">ipmi(4)</a>.

<li>Added support for the <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/ehci.4">ehci(4)</a> controller on

marvell 3720 boards.

</ul>

Line 260

Line 300

<li>Added or improved wireless network drivers:

<ul>

<li>Made device matching in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a> more similar to linux iwlwifi.

<li>Added support for AX210/AX211 devices to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a>.

<li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/iwx.4">iwx(4)</a> setting

of HT/VHT bits in rate flags of the Tx command that could cause a

firmware panic.

<li>Repaired <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rge.4">rge(4)</a> hardware vlan tagging.

<li>Updated various wireless drivers to use <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/memset.3">memset(3)</a> to initialize ieee80211_rxinfo struct properly.

<li>Increased rx buffer size on <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/uaq.4">uaq(4)</a> to 62kB.

Line 317

<li>Installer and upgrade improvements:

<ul>

<li>...

<li>Fixed the watchdog in the installer so that the watchdog is reset

after each download and each set installation.

</ul>

<li>Security improvements:

Line 334

the same UID.

<li>Introduced dedicated link entries for snapshots to <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/pfsync.4">pfsync(4)</a>.

<li>Changed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> handling

of IGMP and ICMP6 MLD packets to allow multicast control packets to

work by default.

<li>Made <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> more paranoid about IGMP/MKP messages.

<li>Allow forwarding to and from IPs in the 240/4 range.

<li>Corrected the virtual ethernet bridge <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/veb.4">veb(4)</a> to avoid calling

if_enqueue from an smr critical section.

<li>Fixed a kernel panic in <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> if IP options with an

ICMP payload were truncated. Such packets will now be dropped instead.

</ul>

<li>Routing daemons and other userland network improvements:

Line 369

Line 425

<li>Improve compliance with the HTTP protocol specification.

</ul>

<li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rpki-client.8">ospfd(8)</a>,

<li>In <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ospfd.8">ospfd(8)</a>,

relax the limitations on what is an acceptable unicast IP. There are no

more experiments in IPv4 and so there is less reason for network

daemons to deny formerly experimental IP space. Multicast IPs

(224/4) and loopback (127/8) are still disallowed.

<li>Added check to <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client.1">acme-client(1)</a> to

ensure the challenge token is turned into a filename that is base64url

encoded.

<li>Added RFC 9234 "BGP Role" support to <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/tcpdump.8">tcpdump(8)</a>

</ul>

Line 424

Line 486

<ul>

<li>Fixed calculation of the width of spanned columns in <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/mandoc">mandoc(1)</a>.

<li>Made <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/mandoc.1">mandoc(1)</a>'s

roff_expand() parse left-to-right rather than right-to-left.

</ul>

<li>Ports and packages:
