88: <ul>
1.12 benno 89: <li>Allowed bsd.rd and bsd/bsd.mp to boot on Oracle Cloud amd64 instances.
90: <li>Added support for switching from glass console to serial console
91: on arm64 systems that default to glass console.
1.9 bluhm 92: <li>pf(4) automatically allows IGMP and ICMP6 MLD packets with
93: router alert option.
94: Special allow-opts rules are no longer needed for multicast
95: discovery.
96: <li>Implement "show all routes" to print routing tables in ddb(4).

1.9 bluhm 118: <li>Make route timer MP safe and use pool rttmr.
119: <li>Use kernel lock to protect parts of ARP, ND6 and PPPoE that
120: are not MP safe.

128: control block.
129: <li>Protect UDP, raw IP, and divert packet input routines
130: with a per socket mutex.
131: <li>Protect recv(2) system call for UDP and raw IP packets with
132: a per socket mutex and shared netlock.
133: Allows to receive packets while forwarding in parallel.
134: <li>Protect multicast deliver loop for UDP and raw IP sockets with rwlock.

1.9 bluhm 136: <li>TCP slow timer runs without netlock.
137: <li>Rework rwlock so that a writer will get the lock eventually.
138: Readers cannot share the lock forever.
139: This prevents starvation of the writer.
140: <li>Run interface media ioctl with shared netlock so packets
141: can be processed while running ifconfig(8).

785: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
786: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
787: which are in a separate archive.
788: To extract:
789: <blockquote><pre>
790: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
791: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
792: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
793: </pre></blockquote>
794: <p>
795: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
796: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
797: To extract:
798: <blockquote><pre>
799: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
800: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
801: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
802: </pre></blockquote>
803: <p>
804: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
805: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
806: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
807: Using these files
