<li>Remove NexGen CPU identification code as the kernel cannot run on these CPUs anyway.

<li>Remove Rise CPU identification code.

<li>Dropped detection code for 386sx/386dx CPUs. OpenBSD/i386 hasn't

actually supported running on either for some time.

<li>Dropped detection code for Cyrix CPUs older than the Cyrix M2.

<li>Implemented the fundamentals for suspend/resume on arm64.

<li>Simplified TSC synchronization testing on amd64.

<li>Corrected sparc64 ofwboot to default to the <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/softraid.4">softraid(4)</a> volume on the

boot device to make root on softraid work out of the box on sparc64

and be more consistent with softraid boot on other architectures.

<li>Added support for booting from RAID 1C <a

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

amd64, sparc64 and arm64.

<li>Removed the obsolete kern.nselcoll <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/sysctl.2">sysctl(2)</a>.

<li>Changed mips64, octeon, and loongson to trigger deferred clock

interrupts from <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/splx.9">splx(9)</a>.

This isolates the clock interrupt schedule from the MD clock interrupt

code.

<li>Fixed a potential kernel panic when an msdos partition is out

of space by fixing instances where msdosfs passed a NULL proc pointer

to detrunc().

<li>Add a delay_init() function that helps on i386 and amd64

architectures in setting up delay_func for different timers and

switching between them depending on their quality properties. This

improves how timers backing <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/delay.9">delay(9)</a> are managed.

boundary (like those on the new 14" and 16" Macbook Pro).

page-aligned to <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/wsfb.4">wsfb(4)</a>.

<li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/Xorg.1">Xorg(1)</a> when

using the luna88k 1bpp framebuffer hardware.

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

restrict user actions if neither GPT nor MBR structures can be found

on the disk.

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

a warning when an MBR partition starts or extends past the end of the

device.

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

a warning when a GPT partition start or end is outside the usable LBA

area of the device.

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

playback immediately. Altered <a

much safer FD-passing idiom for updating <a

<li>Fixed multiple memory leaks in <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/awk.1">awk(1)</a>.

<li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/gzip.1">gzip(1)</a> byte counts with 32-bit integers.

<li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/gzip.1">gzip(1)</a> byte

counts with 32-bit integers.

<li>Fixed the growth check in <a

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

href="https://man.openbsd.org/gzip.1">gzip(1)</a> in cases of small

files or files with sufficiently random data.

<li>Moved the wait for autoconf interfaces from <a

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

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

tunnel interfaces that depend on working autoconf interfaces.

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

create virtual interfaces up front if specified on the command line.

<li>Changed <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/rc.subr.8">rc.subr(8)</a> to copy the

message to stdout when using <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/logger.1">logger(1)</a> to avoid needing

to check syslog when running in debug mode.

<li>Added the new "configtest" action to <a

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

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

accept HUP like <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kill.1">kill(1)</a>

and GNU timeout(1) do.

return an error if the string starts with the '=' character. This

matches the behavior on FreeBSD and NetBSD.

<li>Fixed overflow of the number of errors in <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/renice.8">renice(8)</a> by setting error

instead of incrementing it.

<li>Removed the "-c" compatibility option from <a

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

<li>Stopped <a

printing the device name on failure.

<li>Added a printed message when <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/ld.so.1">ld.so(1)</a> fails inside <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/execve.2">execve(2)</a> to clarify the

failure mode when a dynamic executable is run while /usr isn't

mounted.

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

RAID level parsing to check numeric levels before checking single

character levels. This allows recognition of RAID 10 as a valid but

unsupported level.

<li>Fixed <a

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

messaging when verbose (-v) and dry-run (-n) modes are combined with

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

</ul>

Line 449

Line 522

<li>Modified <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pms.4">pms(4)</a> to

prevent cursor jumps when using the trackpoint on some Lenovo laptops.

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

to attach to <a

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

<li>Corrected the rx data rate for rtl8192eu <a

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

Line 622

href="https://man.openbsd.org/swapctl.2">swapctl(2)</a> operations.

<li>Randomized the rekey interval of <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/arc4random.3">arc4random(3)</a>.

<li>Added local bind mode to <a

href="https://man.openbsd.org/ypldap.8">ypldap(8)</a>. In this mode

ypldap binds its RPC sockets to loopback, so YP services are only

available to the host ypldap is running on. In local bind mode one

does not need to run <a

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

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

dynamically linked to allow them to benefit from all the additional

mitigations that dynamically linked executables gain. NFS mounting of

/usr must now use statically configured IP addresses.

uniform across the whole pool.

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

<li>Corrected sparc64 ofwboot to default to the <a

<li>Fixed a race between pflow_output_process() and

href="https://man.openbsd.org/softraid.4">softraid(4)</a> volume on the

pflow_clone_destroy() in <a

boot device to make root on softraid work out of the box on sparc64

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

and be more consistent with softraid boot on other architectures.

</ul>

<li>Added support for <a

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

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

<li>Imported <a

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

This allows those who need to use net-snmpd the ability to access base

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

<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
