<li>New/extended platforms:

<ul>

<li>...

<li>On arm64, implement branch target protection using the branch

target identification feature introduced in Armv8.5. This provides

"head-CFI" to complement the "tail-CFI" provided by retguard, and is

supported on Apple M2.

</ul>

<li>Various kernel improvements:

<ul>

<li>...

<li>On amd64, identify IBT capability in cpu(4) dmesg lines.

<li>On arm64, show BT and SBSS features in dmesg(8).

<li>Map device tree read/write to unbreak root on softraid(4).

</ul>

<li>SMP Improvements

Line 98

Line 103

<li>VMM/VMD improvements

<ul>

<li>...

<li>Avoid use of uninitialised memory in vmd(8).

</ul>

<li>Various new userland features:

<ul>

<li>...

<li>Update zoneinfo to tzdata2023c.

</ul>

<li>Various bugfixes and tweaks in userland:

<ul>

<li>...

<li>Refactoring and documenting of fdisk(8) code, to make the code

easier to maintain.

<li>In clang, allow out-of-class defaulting of comparison operators,

by ways of backporting an upstream commit.

<li>Improve the code of aucat(1) and fix spelling mistakes.

<li>Improve the code quality of find(1).

<li>Many changes in mg(1):

<ul>

<li>Improve the readability of the code of mg(1).

<li>In mg(1), fall back to /bin/sh if $SHELL is undefined.

<li>Fix parsing of tag files with duplicate entries in mg (1).

Instead of erroring out ignore duplicates. Fixes using

/var/db/libc.tags again.

<li>In mg(1), change tagvisit (aka visit-tag-table) to immediately

load the tag file, and drop the lazy mechanics.

<li>Remove useless global variable in mg(1).

<li>Plug memory leak in mg(1).

<li>Replace strncpy() with strlcpy() in mg(1).

<li>Skip checking permissions of conffile with access(2).

</ul>

<li>On aarch64 architectures improve how BTI control flow integretry

enforcement is implemented in the executable entry point and enable

support for BTI control flow integrety checks in libc assembly

functions.

</ul>

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

<ul>

<li>...

<li>Add support for the RK3568 32k RTC clock in rkclock(4)

<li>In dwpcie(4) attach Baikal-M PCIe.

<li>In openfirmware, implement regulator notifiers which get called

when the voltage/current for a regulator is changed or when the

regulator gets initialized when it attaches for the first time. The

latter makes it possible to register a notifier for a regulator that

hasn't attached yet.

<li>Add rkiovd(4), a driver for the IO voltage domains on Rockchip SoCs.

</ul>

<li>New or improved network hardware support:

<ul>

<li>...

<li>Fix dwqe(4) on several boards that use rgephy(4) by configuring

the RGMII interface before taking the PHY out of reset.

<li>Document that Intel i226 adapters are supported by igc(4).

<li>Add ngbe(4), a driver for WangXun WX1860 PCI Express 10/100/1Gb Ethernet devices.

</ul>

<li>Added or improved wireless network drivers:

<ul>

<li>...

<li>Improve how Quectel LTE&5G devices attach to umb(4).

</ul>

<li>IEEE 802.11 wireless stack improvements and bugfixes:

Line 133

Line 173

<li>Installer, upgrade and bootloader improvements:

<ul>

<li>...

<li>In the arm64 ramdisk, simplify apple firmware copying to make it

easier to add new firmware.

<li>On armv7 and arm64, silence informational messages from dd(1)

when zeroing a disk's first 1MB. Use character not block devices with

dd(1) like on other architectures.

<li>Refactor the code of md_installboot() on armv7 and arm64 to be
