FreeBSD Status Reports January - March, 2009
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report Introduction Since the last Status Reports there has been interesting progress in FreeBSD Development. FreeBSD 7.2 was released just a few days ago. Some of the highlights include: Support for superpages in the FreeBSD Virtual Memory subsystem. The FreeBSD Kernel Virtual Address space has been increased to 6GB on amd64. An updated jail(8) subsystem that supports multi-IPv4/IPv6/noIP and much more. Lots of FreeBSD Developers are in Ottawa, Canada attending the FreeBSD Developer Summit that is before BSDCan. BSDCan officially starts tomorrow and should cover lots of interesting topics, see the BSDCan Website for more information. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! We hope you enjoy reading. __ Projects * Clang replacing GCC in the base system * Device mmap() Extensions * OpenBSM * Release Engineering * Sysinfo - a set of scripts which document your system * TrustedBSD MAC Framework in GENERIC * VFS/NFS DTrace Probes * VirtualBox on FreeBSD FreeBSD Team Reports * FreeBSD BugBusting Team Architectures * FreeBSD/powerpc G5 Support * FreeBSD/sparc64 UltraSPARC III support Documentation * Dutch Documentation Project * German Documentation Project * Hungarian Documentation Project Google Summer of Code * BSD-licensed text-processing tools __ BSD-licensed text-processing tools URL: http://perforce.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/projects/ soc2008/gabor_textproc Contact: Gábor Kövesdán ga...@freebsd.org Currently, grep is finished and is only waiting for a portbuild test. It is known to be more or less feature complete, while it is much smaller than the GNU version. As for sort, there has been some progress with the complete rewrite and it is lacking few options. Performance is to be measured, as well. Open tasks: 1. Test grep on pointyhat. 2. Complete sort with the missing features. 3. Do performance measurements for sort and look for possible optimization opportunities. 4. Test sort on pointyhat. __ Clang replacing GCC in the base system URL: http://wiki.freebsd.org/BuildingFreeBSDWithClang URL: http://git.hoeg.nl/?p=llvm-bmake URL: http://clang.llvm.org/ Contact: Ed Schouten e...@freebsd.org Contact: Roman Divacky rdiva...@freebsd.org Contact: Brooks Davis bro...@freebsd.org Contact: Pawel Worach pawel.wor...@gmail.com The last 3-4 months we've been working together with the LLVM developers to discuss any bugs and issues we are experiencing with their Clang compiler frontend. The FreeBSD project is looking at the possibility to replace GCC with Clang as a system compiler. It can compile 99% of the FreeBSD world and can compile booting kernel on i386/amd64 but it still contains bugs and its C++ support is still immature. Ed is maintaining a patchset for the FreeBSD sources to replace cc(1) by a Clang binary and bootstrap almost all sources with the Clang compiler. The LLVM developers are very helpful fixing most of the bugs we've reported (over 100). Unfortunately we are currently blocked on some bug reports that prevent us from building libc, libm, libcrypto and various CDDL libraries with Clang but the FreeBSD kernel itself compiles and boots. Open tasks: 1. Testing Clang with compilation of various applications and reporting bugs. 2. Testing the llvm-bmake branch to find more bugs. 3. Arranging an experimental ports build. __ Device mmap() Extensions URL: http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/pat/ Contact: John Baldwin j...@freebsd.org GPU device drivers are increasingly requiring more sophisticated support for mapping objects into both userland and the kernel. For example, memory used for textures often needs to be mapped Write-Combining rather than Write-Back. I have recently created three patches to provide several extensions. The first patch allows device drivers to use a different VM object to back specific mmap() calls instead of always using the device pager. The second patch introduces a new VM object type that can map an arbitrary set of physical address ranges. This can be used to let userland mmap PCI BARs, etc. The third patch allows memory mappings to use different caching modes (e.g. Write-Combining or Uncacheable). Together I believe these patches provide the remaining pieces needed for an Nvidia amd64 driver. They will also be useful for future Xorg DRM support as well. The current set of patches can be safely merged back to 7.x as well.
The FreeBSD Status Reports for the Second Quarter of 2008
The FreeBSD Status Reports for the Second Quarter of 2008 are now available at: http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2008-04-2008-06.html For convenience I have included them below as well. Regards, Brad Davis --- FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report Introduction This Status Report covers FreeBSD related projects between April and June 2008. During this period The FreeBSD Foundation has released their July Newsletter. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! We hope you enjoy reading. __ Google Summer of Code * Layer2 filtering * Porting BSD-licensed text-processing tools from OpenBSD Projects * Build cluster * finstall * FreeBSD Bugbusting Team * Graphics support for the boot loader * USB FreeBSD Architecture * ARM/Marvell port The Ports Collection * Ports Collection * Qt/KDE4 Status Report Documentation * FreeBSD FAQ Renovation * The FreeBSD Dutch Documentation Project * The FreeBSD Hungarian Documentation Project * The FreeBSD Spanish Documentation Project __ ARM/Marvell port URL: http://p4web.freebsd.org/@md=dcd=//depot/projects/arm/src/sys/arm/orio n/c=0h4@//depot/projects/arm/src/sys/arm/orion/?ac=83 Contact: Rafal Jaworowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact: Bartlomiej Sieka [EMAIL PROTECTED] After the last couple of months of intensive development going on towards FreeBSD support for Marvell System-on-Chip devices, we have FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT running on the following systems: * Orion (already available in Perforce): * 88F5281 * 88F5181 * 88F5182 Kirkwood - 88F6281 Discovery - MV78100 The above families of SOCs are built around CPU cores compliant with ARMv5TE instruction set architecture definition. They share a number of integrated peripherals, for most of which we already have operational and stable drivers: * UART * EHCI USB 2.0 * Ethernet * IDMA (general purpose DMA engine) * XOR * TWSI (I2C) * Timers, watchdog, RTC * GPIO * Interrupt controller * L1, L2 cache High level functional summary: * Production Quality * Error-free Operation * Multiuser * Self-hosted kernel/world builds * NFS- or USB-mounted root filesystem The code is partially available (Orion in Perforce), other variants will also be integrated with Perforce/SVN soon. Open tasks: 1. Drivers that are In-progress: PCI and PCIE. __ Build cluster Contact: Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] For the past couple of months I have been working on generalizing the package build cluster to allow it to host other batch and interactive jobs. Currently we make an inefficient use of build machines because various projects have dedicated machines that are either underloaded or overloaded for their particular tasks. The goal is to provide a framework for combining all of these machine resources into a single cluster that can be shared by many users, reducing dead time and allowing distributed build tasks to take advantage of extra build resources when available. Developers will be able to obtain on-demand interactive access to a jail running on any of the available architectures, with root access. Similarly, batch jobs will specify their resource requirements and be dispatched to run on a suitable machine in the cluster. Current status: The job queue manager is working and is now being used to map package builds to machines. Various package build scripts have been rewritten to use it instead of the previous build scheduler. The generic job dispatcher is being prototyped and will be validated with several existing services such as INDEX builds. Various support services like ZFS snapshot replication have been written. __ finstall URL: http://wiki.freebsd.org/finstall URL: http://www.sf.net/projects/finstall Contact: Ivan Voras [EMAIL PROTECTED] Between the last report and this one, the project has yielded a LiveCD installer for i386 containing FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. The project was presented at BSDCan 2008. The development is progressing slowly due to the lack of free time. I'm looking for funding that will allow me more involvement in the project. The big item currently in development is documentation and description of the protocol used between the front-end and the back-end, which will result in more robustness in the implementation and could support third-party clients. This sub-project is near completion. The project is currently hosted at SourceForge to allow contribution from

FreeBSD Status Reports for the Third Quarter of 2007
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report Introduction This report covers FreeBSD related projects between July and October 2007. The sixth EuroBSDCon was held in Denmark in September. The Google Summer of Code project came to a close and lots of participants are working getting their code merged back into FreeBSD. The bugs in the FreeBSD HEAD branch are being shaked out and it is being prepared for the FreeBSD 7 branching. If your are curious about what's new in FreeBSD 7.0 we suggest reading Ivan Voras' excellent summary here . Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! We hope you enjoy reading. __ Google Summer of Code * Summer of Code * finstall * FreeBSD-update Front End * gvirstor * MTund - Magic Tunnel Daemon * Porting OpenBSD's sysctl Hardware Sensors Framework to FreeBSD * Ports Collection infrastructure improvements Projects * Apple's MacBook on FreeBSD * Multi-link PPP daemon (MPD) 5.x * Multicast DNS * Porting Linux KVM to FreeBSD * USB FreeBSD Team Reports * FreeBSD.org Admins Report * Ports Collection Network Infrastructure * Network Stack Virtualization Documentation * PC-BSD Handbook * The Hungarian Documentation Project * The Spanish Documentation Project Miscellaneous * EuroBSDcon 2007 * GNATS graphs __ Apple's MacBook on FreeBSD URL: http://wiki.freebsd.org/AppleMacbook Contact: Rui Paulo [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Summer of Code project went well and we reached interesting results. At least the Mac Mini should be fully supported by now. Regarding the other Apple systems, we still need to polish some edges. Open tasks: 1. Integrate rpaulo-macbook p4 branch into CVS. 2. Continue the work on the remaining issues. __ EuroBSDcon 2007 URL: http://2007.EuroBSDCon.org/ Contact: EuroBSDCon 2007 Organizing Committee [EMAIL PROTECTED] The sixth EuroBSDCon went well. 215 people attended the conference. Feedback has been very positive. At the conference we had a Best Talk contest. Steven Murdoch, Isaac Levy and Pawel Jakub zfs-man Dawidek each received a prize for their fantastic talks. Also over 300 pictures from the conference has been uploaded to Flickr with the tag EuroBSDCon2007 Videos and slides from the talks are now online at the conference website. We thank our speakers for graciously having permitted recording and publication of their talks EuroBSDCon 2008 will take place in Strassbourg. __ finstall URL: http://wiki.freebsd.org/finstall Contact: Ivan Voras [EMAIL PROTECTED] The finstall project is about the new graphical installer for FreeBSD. The basic frameworks (both client-side and server-side) are done during the SoC 2007 and it's ready for major new features to be implemented. This project should yield an usable installer for 7.0-RELEASE. Open tasks: 1. - There are several patches needed for finstall's operation that are still waiting on re@'s approval (unionfs, pwd, kbdmap). Finstall will be late or unusuable until these patches are committed. 2. - After the patches are committed, there are several exciting features to be implemented, among others ZFS and GEOM RAID support. __ FreeBSD-update Front End URL: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/facund/ Contact: Andrew Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] The freebsd-update front end is able to wait for freebsd-update to download a new set of patches to apply. It can then install and rollback the patches on either the local computer or over a SSH tunnel. Since the end of the Summer of Code work has moved to BerliOS. The focus has been on writing tests for the front end, back end and communication library. The library has had tests written for most of it while the front and back ends have none. Open tasks: 1. Write more tests. __ FreeBSD.org Admins Report Contact: FreeBSD.org Admins Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] Over the last couple of months several FreeBSD.org systems have been experiencing hardware issues. This included the main web-server www.FreeBSD.org which had a bad fan. The bad fan has been replaced so it should hopefully be stable again. In general we are working on replacing older hardware with newer systems and consolidating machine functions in the process. Since August most FreeBSD.org services have been available via IPv6 with connectivity provided from ISC using a tunnel. To honor
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report, First Quarter of 2007
Introduction This report covers FreeBSD related projects between January and March 2007. This quarter ended with a big bang as a port of Sun's critically acclaimed ZFS was added to the tree and thus will be available in the upcoming FreeBSD 7.0 release. Earlier this year exciting benchmark results showed the fruits of our SMP work. Read more on the details in the SMP Scalability report. During the summer, FreeBSD will once again take part in Google's Summer of Code initiative. Student selection is underway and we are looking forward to a couple of exciting projects to come. BSDCan is approaching rapidly, and will be held May 16-19th in Ottawa. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! We hope you enjoy reading. _ Projects * FreeBSD and ZFS * SMP Scalability * USB FreeBSD Team Reports * FreeBSD Security Officer and Security Team * Problem Report Database * Release Engineering * The FreeBSD Foundation Kernel * Building Linux Device Drivers on FreeBSD * Update of the Linux compatibility environment in the kernel Network Infrastructure * FAST_IPSEC Upgrade * Importing trunk(4) from OpenBSD * Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN Driver: wpi * Multi-link PPP daemon (MPD) Userland Programs * GCC 4.1 integration * malloc(3) Ports * Ports Collection * X.Org 7.2 integration Miscellaneous * BSDCan 2007 * EuroBSDCon 2007 _ BSDCan 2007 URL: http://www.bsdcan.org/2007/ Contact: Dan Langille [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Schedule and the Tutorials have been released. Once again, we have a very strong collection of Speakers . BSDCan: Low Cost. High Value. Something for Everyone. Everyone is going to be there. Make your plans now. _ Building Linux Device Drivers on FreeBSD URL: http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/FreeBSD/linux_bsd_kld.html Contact: Luigi Rizzo [EMAIL PROTECTED] The above URL documents some work done around January to build an emulation layer for the Linux kernel API that would allow Linux device driver to be built on FreeBSD with as little as possible modifications. Initially the project focused on USB webcams, a category of devices for which there was basically no support so far. The emulation layer, available as a port ( devel/linux-kmod-compat ) simulates enough of the Linux USB stack to let us build, from unmodified Linux sources, two webcam drivers, also available as ports ( multimedia/linux-gspca-kmod and multimedia/linux-ov511-kmod ), with the former supporting over 200 different cameras. While some of the functions map one-to-one, for others it was necessary to build a full emulation (e.g. collecting input from various function calls, and then mapping sets of Linux data structures into functionally equivalent sets of FreeBSD data structures). But overall, this project shows that the software interfaces are reasonably orthogonal to each other so one does not need to implement the full Linux kernel API to get something working. More work is necessary to cover other aspects of the Linux kernel API, e.g. memory mapping, PCI bus access, and the network stack API, so we can extend support to other families of peripherals. Open tasks: 1. Implement more subsystems (e.g. the network interface API; the memory management/pci bus access API). 2. Address licensing issues. In the current port, the C code is entirely new and under a FreeBSD license. Many of the headers have been rewritten (and documented) from scratch (and so under a FreeBSD license as well). Some of the other headers are still taken from various Linux distributions and need to be rewritten to generate BSD-licensed code that can be imported in the kernel instead of being made available as a port. While this is not a concern with GNU drivers, it may be an important feature for drivers that are available under a dual license. _ EuroBSDCon 2007 URL: http://2007.EuroBSDCon.org/ Contact: EuroBSDCon 2007 Organizing Committee [EMAIL PROTECTED] The sixth EuroBSDCon will take place at Symbion in Copenhagen, Denmark on Friday the 14th and Saturday 15th of September 2007. The estimated price for the two day conference is 200EUR, excluding Legoland trip and social event. The whole-day trip to Legoland is expected to cost around 130EUR including transportation, some food on the way, and entry fee. Arrangements have been made with a newly renovated Hostel which offers beds for 23EUR per night and 10EUR breakfast. A lounge with sponsored Internet

I have been struggling with this one for over a month now. Here is a quick layout of my setup: Primary FTP server: Compaq DL380 1.5gb ram FreeBSD 4.5 3x36gb RAID 5 drives as local boot/storage ProFTPd Array server for FTP: AMD Athlon 2200 512mb ram FreeBSD 4.8 7x36gb Fiber channel drives, RAID 5 via Vinum. Both machines are connected via a cross-over cable, that has been tested good and swapped just in case. The primary storage for FTP is done on the Fiber drives via nfs from FTP to Array server. NFS options are -U -3. My problem is this. As more users connect and store files, the primary FTP machine becomes increasingly unresponsive. Currently, I max at about 350 concurrent FTP connections. The most basic test I have been doing is just holding down enter on an SSH session. As you hold enter down, you see it visually just hang for a second or more (up to about 5 seconds depending on the load). It is even worse if I spam df -k for example. For part of the time, it responds fine, though its randomly a second to multiple seconds. In other words, it is randomly responsive and not responsive every 5 seconds or so. During the hanging time, ftp sessions are also hung. So you see very bursty data transfers. Now thankfully, no ftp sessions drop, so we do get the data we need. But this is a terrible thing to be happening to a production server. One other thing of note, this happened to me about 4-5 months ago, but a reboot fixed it for some reason. So I concluded it was just a hiccup. But it has returned after a different reboot, and won't go away. Any help in troubleshooting this is very appreciated!

The target goal is two weeks, but hopefully things can be resolved before then. The problems appear to stem from the recent PAE import. The consensus reached at the DevSummit is that PAE is a critical feature for 4.x and that removing it isn't desirable unless the problems persist. We encourage anyone to help with this. 5.x: The 5-stable roadmap document received a major overhaul yesterday. I encourage everyone to take a look at it at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/5-roadmap/index.html. Among the highlights, KSE is progressing extremely well and is no longer a major source of concern for 5-stable. Stability is also at a very good level. However, while performance has improved in some areas, it is not at the level that we want it to be. Since improving performance will likely involve changing some API's and adding short-term risk to stability, it's looking like the 5-stable branch will be delayed until 5.3. 5.2 will be released in late Nov/early Dec and will feature the vastly improved KSE, partially-improved network performance, optional dynamically-linked root filesystem, and many stability fixes, along with numerous new features. I thank all of the developers, contributors, and users for the highly productive summer and ask that that enthusiasm continue as we push towards 5.2 and 5.3.
