FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report January-March, 2012
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report January-March, 2012 Introduction This report covers FreeBSD-related projects between January and March 2012. It is the first of the four reports planned for 2012. This quarter was highlighted by releasing the next major version of FreeBSD, 9.0, which was finally released in the beginning of January 2012. The FreeBSD Project dedicates the FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE to the memory of Dennis M. Ritchie, one of the founding fathers of the UNIXŽ operating system. Our release engineering team has been also busy with preparation of the 8.3-RELEASE, which was publicly announced in April. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! This report contains 27 entries and we hope you enjoy reading it. Please note that the deadline for submissions covering the period between April and June 2012 is July 15th, 2012. __ Projects * FreeBSD Services Control * GNU-Free C++11 Stack * Growing filesystems online * The FreeNAS Project User-land Programs * Clang Replacing GCC in the Base System * Replacing the Regular Expression Code * The bsdconfig(8) utility FreeBSD Team Reports * Release Engineering Team Status Report * The FreeBSD Foundation Team Report Kernel * DTrace Probes for the linuxulator * HDMI/DisplayPort Audio Support in HDA Sound Driver (snd_hda) * Improved hwpmc(9) Support for MIPS * isci(4) SAS Driver Network Infrastructure * Atheros 802.11n Support * IPv6 Performance Analysis * Multi-FIB: IPv6 Support and Other Enhancements Documentation * The FreeBSD Japanese Documentation Project Architectures * FreeBSD/arm on Various TI Boards * FreeBSD/powerpc on Freescale QorIQ DPAA * NAND File System, NAND Flash Framework, NAND Simulator * Porting DTrace to MIPS and ARM Ports * A New linux_base Port Based Upon CentOS * BSD-licensed sort Utility (GNU sort Replacement) * KDE/FreeBSD * Perl Ports Testing * The FreeBSD Haskell Ports * The FreeBSD Ports Collection __ A New linux_base Port Based Upon CentOS Contact: Alexander Leidinger netch...@freebsd.org We got a PR with a linux_based port which is based upon CentOS 6. Currently this can only be used as a test environment, as it depends upon a more recent linux kernel version, than the linuxulator provides. As of this writing, I'm in the process of preparing a commit of this port. Open tasks: 1. Repocopy by portmgr. 2. Add conflicts in other linux_base ports. 3. Commit the CentOS based one. 4. Some cleanup. __ Atheros 802.11n Support URL: http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/AdrianChadd/AtherosTxAgg URL: http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/dev/ath(4) Contact: Adrian Chadd adr...@freebsd.org 802.11n station and hostap support is now fully functional, sans correct hostap side power saving. TX aggregation and TX BAR handling is implemented. Station chip power saving is not implemented at all yet, it's not in the scope of this work. Testers should disable bgscan (-bgscan) as scan/bgscan will simply drop any traffic in the TX/RX queues, causing potential traffic stalls. Open tasks: 1. Fix up hostap side power save handling. 2. Implement filtered frames support in the driver. 3. Fix scan/bgscan to correctly buffer and retransmit frames when going off channel, so frames are not just dropped - this causes issues in the aggregation sessions and may cause traffic stalls. 4. Test/fix any issues with adhoc 802.11n support. __ BSD-licensed sort Utility (GNU sort Replacement) URL: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/textproc/bsdsort/ URL: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/sort.html Contact: Oleg Moskalenko oleg.moskale...@citrix.com Contact: Gábor Kövesdán ga...@freebsd.org Currently the BSD sort reached usable stable stage. It is stable, it is as fast as the GNU sort, and it supports multi-byte locales (this is something that GNU sort does not do correctly). BSD sort has all features of GNU sort 5.3.0 (version included into FreeBSD) with some extra features and bug fixes. Open tasks: 1. Add BSD sort into HEAD as an alternative, installed as bsdsort. If proven to work as expected, change it to the default sort version and remove GNU sort. 2. Investigate the possibility of a multi-threaded sort implementation and implement it, if it proves more efficient. 3. Upgrade BSD sort features to include some obscure new features in the latest GNU sort version 8.15.

FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report October-December, 2011
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report October-December, 2011 Introduction This report covers FreeBSD-related projects between October and December 2011. It is the last of the four reports planned for 2011. This quarter was mainly devoted to polishing the bits for the next major version of FreeBSD, 9.0, which was already successfully released in the beginning of January 2012. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! This report contains 32 entries and we hope you enjoy reading it. Please note that the deadline for submissions covering the period between January and March 2012 is April 15th, 2012. __ Projects * Auditdistd Project * BSD-Licensed C++ Stack * pfSense User-land Programs * Replacing the Regular Expression Code * System Configuration Utilities FreeBSD Team Reports * FreeBSD Ports Management Team Status Report * Release Engineering Team Status Report * The FreeBSD Foundation Status Report Kernel * CAM Target Layer (CTL) * FreeBSD No-IPv4 (IPv6-Only) Support * GEOM MULTIPATH Rewrite * HDA Sound Driver (snd_hda) Improvements * LSI Supported mps(4) SAS driver * SCSI Direct Access Driver (da) Improvements * Status Report for NFS * The New CARP Documentation * A Tool to Check for Mistakes in Documentation -- igor * The FreeBSD German Documentation Project * The FreeBSD Japanese Documentation Project Architectures * FreeBSD/390 * FreeBSD/arm on Marvell Armada XP * FreeBSD/powerpc on AppliedMicro APM86290 * FreeBSD/powerpc on Freescale QorIQ DPAA * Improving Support for New Features in the Intel SandyBridge CPUs Ports * FreeBSD Haskell Ports * FreeBSD Ruby Ports * FreeBSD/GNOME * FreeBSD/KDE * Multimedia -- Watching/Recording Digital TV * Perl Ports Testing * Public FreeBSD Ports Development Infrastructure -- redports.org * Up to Date X.Org Server __ A Tool to Check for Mistakes in Documentation -- igor URL: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/igor/ Contact: Warren Block wbl...@freebsd.org igor is a program that proofreads man pages, DocBook SGML source, and other text files for many common mistakes. Files are tested for spelling mistakes, repeated words, and white-space problems. Man pages are also checked for minimal structure, and DocBook SGML source files are checked for formatting and tag problems. If you write or edit FreeBSD documentation, let igor help you check it for correctness. Open tasks: 1. Find a testing or parsing framework that can do a faster or better job, or that can understand the state of DocBook tags. 2. Add more tests. 3. Improve speed. __ Auditdistd Project Contact: Pawel Jakub Dawidek p...@freebsd.org Current weakness of FreeBSD's Security Event Audit facility is that audit records are stored locally and can be modified or removed by an attacker after a system compromise. The auditdistd will allow to reliably and securely distribute audit trail files over TCP/IP network to remote system. In case of system compromise it will enable administrators to analyze audit records in trusted environment. This project is sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation and should be completed by the end of February 2012. __ BSD-Licensed C++ Stack Contact: David Chisnall thera...@freebsd.org Two new libraries, libc++ (providing a C++11 STL implementation) and libcxxrt (providing an implementation of the C++ ABI specification) have been added. This is enabled by adding WITH_LIBCPLUSPLUS=yes to src.conf. It is not enabled by default because libc++ does not build with the version of gcc in the base system and requires you to build with clang. Once it is built, you can select between using GNU libstdc++ and libc++ by adding -stdlib=libc++ or -stdlib=libstdc++ to your compile and link flags (when building with clang). If you are running head (or have a spare [virtual] machine you can try it on) then please try building your C++ code with libc++ and let me know of any failures, ideally with reduced test cases. Open tasks: 1. Test ports with libc++. Hopefully most will Just Work., but others may need patches or have a hard dependency on libstdc++. 2. Make libstdc++ dynamically link to libsupc++. This will allow us to use libmap.conf to switch between libsupc++ and libcxxrt. 3. Enable building libc++ by default (hopefully in the 9.1 time-frame, when clang becomes the default system compiler) and switch to using libcxxrt instead of libsupc++ by default. 4. Lots more

With DIFFUSE, IPFW computes statistics (such as packet lengths or inter-packet time intervals) for observed flows, and uses ML (machine learning) to classify flows into classes. In addition to traditional packet inspection rules, IPFW rules may now also be expressed in terms of traffic statistics or classes identified by ML classification. This can be helpful when direct packet inspection is problematic (perhaps for administrative reasons, or because port numbers do not reliably identify applications). DIFFUSE also enables one instance of IPFW to send flow information and classes to other IPFW instances, which then can act on such traffic (e.g. prioritise, accept, deny, etc.) according to its class. This allows for distributed architectures, where classification at one location in your network is used to control fire-walling or rate-shaping actions at other locations.

For some reason the primary keeps sending data, while client gets 0-read from the recvfrom at some point, while the primary keeps sending more data. This is 8-STABLE code on both ends.

This adds support for a wide variety of new features while simplifying the installation process. Testing before the 9.0 release will be very much appreciated -- CD and memory stick images for a variety of platforms are linked from the BSDInstall wiki page. Interesting features: * Install CD media are always live CDs * Installations spanning multiple disks * Wireless setup * GPT disk formatting * Virtualization friendly: can install from a live system onto disk images * Easily hackable and more modular than sysinstall * Greater flexibility: shells available throughout the installation Work is presently ongoing to integrate this installer with the backend provided by pc-sysinstall (second wiki link).

The OpenAFS client implementation has not been particularly useful on FreeBSD since the FreeBSD 4.X releases. Work covered in previous reports brought the OpenAFS client to a useful form on 9.0-CURRENT, though with some rough edges. Since our last report, we have fixed several bugs that were impacting usability, and we expect the upcoming 1.6.0 release to be usable for regular client workloads (though not heavy load). Accordingly, we have submitted packaging for inclusion in the Ports Collection (PR ports/152467). There are several known outstanding issues that are being worked on, but detailed bug reports are welcome at port-free...@openafs.org. Open tasks: 1. Update VFS locking to allow the use of disk-based client caches as well as memory-based caches. 2. Track down races and deadlocks that may appear under load. 3. Integrate with the bsd.kmod.mk kernel-module build infrastructure. 4. Eliminate a moderate memory leak from the kernel module. 5.

We currently have the Chromium 9 beta running, but not all features are fully implemented and the port still needs some polish before it can be committed to the Ports Collection. We have also been making arrangements with Google to merge our work with their upstream, which should ease the number of features and fixes we have to maintain for ourselves in the future. Our first release should be in a few weeks and coincide with the official release of Chromium 9. __ DIstributed Firewall and Flow-shaper Using Statistical Evidence (DIFFUSE) URL: http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/diffuse/ URL: http://caia.swin.edu.au/urp/diffuse/downloads.html Contact: Sebastian Zander szan...@swin.edu.au Contact: Grenville Armitage garmit...@swin.edu.au DIFFUSE is a system enabling FreeBSD's IPFW firewall subsystem to classify IP traffic based on statistical traffic properties.

The problem here is that we happen to cover all the supported releases in a single handbook which simply leads to confusion...on the other hand you may be right that discrepancies don't happen that often and the additional work is not worth it.

Re: Call for Documentation Contributors
I actually think there is some point in this idea. The problem is that many times we just leave notes or warnings specific for given releases, which can many times lead to confusion (or people just don't notice) and as time goes and we cut the support for given releases they get stale (e.g. We had many of those for 5.x). We could just maintain the handbook in separate branches like we do with src, keeping them all built online, and merge relevant things where appropriate. This will, however, add quite a lot (for my taste) of additional work for us.

FreeBSD Status Report January-March, 2010
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report Introduction This report covers FreeBSD related projects between January and March 2010. Being the first of the four reports planned for 2010 with 46 entries, it shows a good progress of the FreeBSD Project and proves that our committers are keeping up with the latest trends in the OS development. During this period, a new minor version of FreeBSD, 7.3-RELEASE, has been released, while the release process for 8.1-RELEASE is soon to begin and is planned to be released later this summer. Thanks to all the reporters for their excellent work! We hope you enjoy the reading. Please note that the deadline for submissions covering the period between April and June 2010 is July 15th, 2010. __ Google Summer of Code * Google Summer of Code 2010 Projects * Chromium web browser * Clang replacing GCC in the base system * EFI support for FreeBSD/i386 * mfsBSD * Modular Congestion Control * NAND Flash framework for embedded FreeBSD * Out of Tree Toolchain * PC-BSD PC-SysInstall Backend * The tbemd branch * webcamd FreeBSD Team Reports * FreeBSD Bugbusting Team * Release Engineering Team * The FreeBSD Foundation Network Infrastructure * (Virtual) Network Stack resource cleanup * 802.11n support * Atheros AR9285 support * Enhancing the FreeBSD TCP Implementation * Experimental NFS subsystem (NFSv4) * ipfw and dummynet enhancements * net80211 rate control framework * TCP/UDP connection groups Kernel * CAM-based ATA implementation * Dynamic Ticks in FreeBSD * geom_sched * IPv6 without legacy IP kernel * Multichannel playback in HDA sound driver (snd_hda) * Rewrite of FreeBSD read/write path using vnode page * SUJ: Journaled Softupdates * ZFS Documentation * The FreeBSD German Documentation Project * The FreeBSD Hungarian Documentation Project Userland Programs * FreeBSD port for libunwind * LDAP support in base system Architectures * FreeBSD/arm port for TI DaVinci * FreeBSD/ia64 * FreeBSD/mips on D-Link DIR-320 * FreeBSD/powerpc * FreeBSD/powerpc64 port * FreeBSD/sparc64 Ports * Portmaster * Ports Collection * QAT Miscellaneous * BSDCan 2010 -- The BSD Conference * meetBSD 2010 -- The BSD Conference __ (Virtual) Network Stack resource cleanup Contact: Bjoern A. Zeeb b...@freebsd.org In February work was done to address resource leaks in the (virtual) network stack, especially on teardown. During that time also multiple general run-time problems and leaks were identified and fixed including leaked ipfw tables on module unload, routing entries leaked, in case of interfaces going away, as well as leaked link-layer entries in interaction with flowtable and timers. For virtual network stacks resources are are no longer allocated multiple times or freed upon teardown for eventhandlers, IP and upper level layers, like TCP syncache and host cache, flowtable, and especially radix/routing table memory. In addition epair(4) was enhanced and debugging was improved. This work was sponsored by ISPsystem. Open tasks: 1. Merge the remaining patches. 2. Work on a better teardown model and get to the point where we can free UMA zones without keeping pages for type stability and timers around. __ 802.11n support Contact: Rui Paulo rpa...@freebsd.org 802.11n support in the Atheros driver is being worked on. Right now it can do AMPDU RX in software and we are working on TX AMPDU. The code lives in a private Perforce branch, but some bits of it are already committed to HEAD. This work is being sponsored by iXsystems, inc. __ Atheros AR9285 support Contact: Rui Paulo rpa...@freebsd.org Atheros AR9285 support was added to FreeBSD HEAD and 8-STABLE. There are still some issues but in general it works fine. __ BSDCan 2010 -- The BSD Conference URL: http://www.BSDCan.org/2010/ URL: http://www.BSDCan.org/2010/schedule/ Contact: BSDCan Information i...@bsdcan.org BSDCan, a BSD conference held in Ottawa, Canada, has quickly established itself as the technical conference for people working on and with 4.4BSD based operating systems and related projects. The organizers have found a fantastic formula that appeals to a wide range of people from extreme novices to advanced developers. BSDCan 2010 will be held on 13-14 May 2010 at the University of Ottawa, and will be
