72: <p>
73: This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 7.2.
74: For a comprehensive list, see the <a href="plus72.html">changelog</a> leading
75: to 7.2.
76:
77: <ul>
78:
79: <li>New/extended platforms:
80: <ul>
1.4 jsg 81: <li>Added support for Ampere Altra
82: <li>Added support for Apple M2
83: <li>Added support for Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 (SC8280XP)
1.1 deraadt 84: <li>...
85: </ul>
86:
87: <li>Various kernel improvements:
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.
1.16 jsg 92: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> automatically allows
93: IGMP and ICMP6 MLD packets with router alert option.
1.9 bluhm 94: Special allow-opts rules are no longer needed for multicast
95: discovery.
1.19 benno 96: <li>Fixed a <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a> NULL
97: dereference panic triggered by <a
98: href="https://man.openbsd.org/relayd.8">relayd(8)</a>.
1.16 jsg 99: <li>Implement "show all routes" to print routing tables in
100: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ddb.4">ddb(4)</a>.
1.29 benno 101: <li>Added a method (ESC D) to enter <a
102: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ddb.4">ddb(4)</a> on serial drivers that
103: do not have a true BREAK mechanism.
104: <li>Added "show all routes" and the ability to show individual routes
105: (e.g. "show route 0xfffffd807e9b0000") to <a
106: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ddb.4">ddb(4)</a>.
107: <li>Added a "show swap" command to <a
108: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ddb.4">ddb(4)</a> to help debugging.
109:
110:
1.16 jsg 111: <li>Count dropped network packets due to low memory in
112: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/netstat.1">netstat(1)</a>.
1.12 benno 113: <li>Simplified machine command handling in <a
114: href="https://man.openbsd.org/ddb.4">ddb(4)</a>.
115: <li>Changed to a simpler formula to calculate a default kern.maxthread
116: value: 2*NPROCESS.
117: <li>Enabled <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/kstat.4">kstat(4)</a>, a
118: device that exports kernel statistics that can be read by <a
1.23 jsg 119: href="https://man.openbsd.org/kstat.1">kstat(1)</a>.
1.13 benno 120: <li>Added cpu frequency sensors for each core on CPUs that have MPERF/APERF support.
1.14 benno 121: <li>Merged the UVM swap-backed and object-backed inactive page lists.
122: <li>Fixed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/rwlock.9">rwlock(9)</a>
123: implementation to be fair to writers. Previously, readers could grab
124: the lock even if writers were waiting first.
125: <li>Made the CPU frequency scaling duration relative to the load
126: when in automatic mode on battery.
127: <li>Fixed luna88k MULTIPROCESSOR kernels booting with CPU modules
128: installed in arbitrary slots.
1.19 benno 129: <li>Added a missing <a
130: href="https://man.openbsd.org/kqueue.2">kqueue(2)</a> wakeup, found by
131: a Go testcase hang.
132: <li>Bumped the maximum number of supported CPUs to 256 on arm64.
133:
1.29 benno 134: <!-- XXX should the following be here (swapper, pmem...) or maybe one entry describing them together? -->
135: <li>Ensure uvm_swap_io() can succeed, even in out of memory
136: situations, by reserving a second segment for the page daemon.
137: <li>Ensured progress in the swapper by pre-allocating pages in a DMA-reachable region.
138: <li>Made the page daemon consider pmemrange regions when trying to
139: free pages from the inactive list. Previously the page daemon could
140: use a lot of CPU without freeing a page because the global limits were
141: satisfied.
142: <li>Ensured that uvm_swap_get() will always sleep rather than
143: returning an error. Previously an error could be returned to the fault
144: handler which would result in processes dying when a system was under
145: a lot of memory pressure.
146:
147:
148: <li>Added support for using non-standard UARTs (such as the Synopsys
149: DesignWare UART) as an early console.
150: <li>Made the EFI bootloader provide the extra parameters necessary to
151: use non-standard UARTs on the AMD Ryzen Embedded V1000 SoCs as console.
152: <li>Switched bootloaders to the extended BOOTARG_CONSDEV struct.
153:
154: <li>Remove NexGen CPU identification code as the kernel cannot run on these CPUs anyway.
155: <li>Remove Rise CPU identification code.
156:
157: <li>Implemented the fundamentals for suspend/resume on arm64.
158:
1.1 deraadt 159: </ul>
160:
161: <li>SMP Improvements
162: <ul>
1.9 bluhm 163: <li>Make route timer MP safe and use pool rttmr.
164: <li>Use kernel lock to protect parts of ARP, ND6 and PPPoE that
165: are not MP safe.
166: Lookup of existing ARP entry is MP safe and can run in parallel.
167: <li>Start up to 4 softnet tasks to run IP input and forwarding
168: in parallel on multiple cores.
169: <li>Run IPv4 packet reassembly in parallel.
170: <li>Run IPv6 hop-by-hop options processing in parallel.

179: <li>Protect multicast deliver loop for UDP and raw IP sockets with rwlock.
1.13 benno 180: <li>Only grab netlock in IGMP and MLD timer when necessary.
1.9 bluhm 181: <li>TCP slow timer runs without netlock.
182: <li>Rework rwlock so that a writer will get the lock eventually.
183: Readers cannot share the lock forever.
184: This prevents starvation of the writer.
185: <li>Run interface media ioctl with shared netlock so packets
1.16 jsg 186: can be processed while running
187: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/ifconfig.8">ifconfig(8)</a>.
188: <li><a href="https://man.openbsd.org/btrace.8">btrace(8)</a> can be used

324: reject input of excessive length.
325: <li>Fixed an <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a>
326: regression to allow editing an MBR of all zeroes.
327: <li>Changed <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/fdisk.8">fdisk(8)</a> to
328: restrict user actions if neither GPT nor MBR structures can be found
329: on the disk.
330:
1.14 benno 331:
332:
333: <li>In the <i>sndio</i> library, added the function <a

1074: <p>
1075: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
1076: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
1077: which are in a separate archive.
1078: To extract:
1079: <blockquote><pre>
1080: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
1081: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1082: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
1083: </pre></blockquote>
1084: <p>
1085: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
1086: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
1087: To extract:
1088: <blockquote><pre>
1089: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
1090: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
1091: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
1092: </pre></blockquote>
1093: <p>
1094: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
1095: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
1096: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
1097: Using these files
1098: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
1099: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

1113: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
1114: if you know nothing about ports
1115: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
1116: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
1117: OpenBSD ports system.
1118: <p>
1119: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
1120: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
1121: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1122: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
1123: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
1124: with a command like:
1125: <blockquote><pre>
1126: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
1127: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_2</kbd>
1128: </pre></blockquote>
1129: <p>
1130: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1131: server.]
1132: <p>
1133: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
1134: ports for the 7.2 release will be made available if problems arise.
1135: <p>
1136: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1137: would like to know more, the mailing list
1138: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
