        <p>This document contains the release notes for FreeBSD
        5.0-RELEASE on the i386 hardware platform. It describes
        recently added, changed, or deleted features of FreeBSD. It
        also provides some notes on upgrading from previous
        versions of FreeBSD.</p>

        <p>This distribution of FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE is a release
        distribution. It can be found at <a
        href="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/"
        target="_top">ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/</a> or any of its
        mirrors. More information on obtaining this (or other)

        <h1 class="SECT1"><a id="NEW" name="NEW">2 What's
        New</a></h1>

        <p>This section describes many of the user-visible new or
        changed features in FreeBSD since 4.0-RELEASE. It includes
        items that are unique to the 5-CURRENT branch, as well as
        some features that may have been recently merged to other
        branches (after FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE). The later items are
        marked as [MERGED].</p>

        <p>Typical release note items document new drivers or
        hardware support, new commands or options, major bugfixes,
        or contributed software upgrades. Applicable security
        advisories issued after 4.6-RELEASE are also listed.</p>

        <p>Many additional changes were made to FreeBSD that are
        not listed here for lack of space. For example,
        documentation was corrected and improved, minor bugs were
        fixed, insecure coding practices were audited and
        corrected, and source code was cleaned up.</p>

          <p>A new in-kernel cryptographic framework (see <a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=crypto&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">
          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span

          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">crypto</span>(9)</span></a>) has
          been imported from OpenBSD. It provides a consistent
          interface to hardware and software implementations of
          cryptographic algorithms for use by the kernel and access
          to cryptographic hardware for user-mode applications.
          Hardware device drivers are provided to support
          hifn-based cards (<a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=hifn&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">
          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span

          <p>A new <a

          <tt class="COMMAND">show pcpu</tt> lists some of the
          per-CPU data.</p>

          <p>A <tt class="FILENAME">devctl</tt> device has been
          added to allow userland programs to learn when devices
          come and go in the device tree. This facility is
          primarily used by the <a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devd&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">

          allows entries in the <tt class="FILENAME">/dev</tt>
          directory to be built automatically and supports more
          flexible attachment of devices, has been largely
          reworked. <a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=devfs&sektion=5&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">
          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">devfs</span>(5)</span></a> is now
          enabled by default and can be disabled by the <tt
          class="LITERAL">NODEVFS</tt> kernel option. A ``rule''
          subsystem permits the administrator to define certain
          properties of new device nodes before they become visible
          to the userland. Both static (e.g. <tt
          class="FILENAME">/dev/speaker</tt>) and dynamic (e.g. <tt
          class="FILENAME">/dev/bpf*</tt>, some removable devices)
          nodes are supported. Each <a

          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">devfs</span>(5)</span></a> mount
          may have a different ruleset assigned to it, permitting
          different policies to be implemented for things like
          jails. Rules and rulesets are manipulated with the <a

          utility.</p>

          <p>A new digi driver has been added to support PCI
          Xr-based and ISA Xem Digiboard cards. A new <a

          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">digictl</span>(8)</span></a>
          program is (mainly) used to re-initialize cards that have
          external port modules attached such as the PC/Xem. This
          driver replaces the older dgm driver.</p>

          <p>An <a

          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">eaccess</span>(2)</span></a> system

          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">access</span>(2)</span></a> except
          that the former uses effective credentials rather than
          real credentials.</p>

          <p>Initial support has been added for FireWire devices
          (see <a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=firewire&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">

          class="REFENTRYTITLE">jail</span>(2)</span></a>
          environment can now run under its own securelevel.</p>

          <p>The tunable sysctl variables for <a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=jail&sektion=2&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">
          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">jail</span>(2)</span></a> have
          moved from <tt class="VARNAME">jail.*</tt> to the <tt

          security-related sysctl variables have moved from <tt
          class="VARNAME">kern.security.*</tt> to <tt
          class="VARNAME">security.*</tt>.</p>

          <p>The kernel environment is now dynamic, and can be
          changed via the new <a

          <p>The labpc(4) driver has been removed due to
          ``bitrot''.</p>

          <p>The loader and kernel linker now look for files named
          <tt class="FILENAME">linker.hints</tt> in each directory
          with KLDs for a module name and version to KLD filename
          mapping. The new <a

          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">kldxref</span>(8)</span></a>
          utility is used to generate these files.</p>

          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">lomac</span>(4)</span></a>, a
          Low-Watermark Mandatory Access Control security facility,
          has been added as a kernel module. It provides a drop-in
          security mechanism in addition to the traditional
          UID-based security facilities, requiring no additional
          configuration from the administrator. Work on this
          feature was sponsored by DARPA and NAI Labs.</p>

          <p>FreeBSD now supports an extensible Mandatory Access
          Control framework, the TrustedBSD MAC Framework. It
          permits loadable kernel modules to link to the kernel at
          compile-time, boot-time, or run-time to augment the
          system security policy. The framework permits modules to
          express interest in a variety of events, and also
          provides common security policy services such as label
          storage. A variety of sample policy modules are shipped
          in this release, including implementations of fixed and
          floating label Biba integrity models, Multi-Level
          Security (MLS) with compartments, and a number of
          augmented UNIX security models including a file system
          firewall. This feature will permit easier development and
          maintenance of local and vendor security extensions. The
          extensibility service is enabled by adding <tt
          class="LITERAL">options MAC</tt> to the kernel
          configuration.</p>

            <h3 class="SECT3"><a id="AEN401" name="AEN401">2.1.1
            Processor/Motherboard Support</a></h3>

            <p>SMP support has been largely reworked, incorporating
            code from BSD/OS 5.0. One of the main features of SMPng
            (``SMP Next Generation'') is to allow more processes to
            run in kernel, without the need for spin locks that can
            dramatically reduce the efficiency of multiple
            processors. Interrupt handlers now have contexts
            associated with them that allow them to be blocked,
            which reduces the need to lock out interrupts.</p>

            <p>Support for the 80386 processor has been removed
            from the <tt class="FILENAME">GENERIC</tt> kernel, as
            this code seriously pessimizes performance on other
            IA32 processors. The <tt class="LITERAL">I386_CPU</tt>
            kernel option to support the 80386 processor is now
            mutually exclusive with support for other IA32
            processors; this should slightly improve performance on
            the 80386 due to the elimination of runtime processor
            type checks. Custom kernels that will run on the 80386
            can still be built by changing the CPU options in the
            kernel configuration file to only include <tt
            class="LITERAL">I386_CPU</tt>.</p>

            <p>On some systems, the BIOS does not activate the I/O
            ports and memory of PC devices, thus making them
            unusable. The <tt
            class="VARNAME">hw.pci.enable_io_modes</tt> sysctl/boot
            loader variable (which defaults to <tt
            class="LITERAL">1</tt>, for ``enabled'') forces FreeBSD
            to enable these devices so that they can be used.</p>

            <p>Support for the AMD &Eacute;lan SC520 has been
            added; this requires the <tt
            class="LITERAL">CPU_ELAN</tt> option in the kernel

            <p>Client-side NFS locks have been implemented.</p>

            <p>The client-side and server-side of the NFS code in
            the kernel used to be intertwined in various complex
            ways. They have been split apart for ease of
            maintenance and further development.</p>

            <p>Support for filesystem Access Control Lists (ACLs)
            has been introduced, allowing more fine-grained control
            of discretionary access control on files and
            directories. This support was integrated from the
            TrustedBSD Project. More details can be found in <tt
            class="FILENAME">/usr/src/sys/ufs/ufs/README.acls</tt>.</p>

            <p>For consistency, the fdesc, fifo, null, msdos,

            to fdescfs, fifofs, msdosfs, nullfs, portalfs, umapfs,
            and unionfs. Where applicable, modules and mount_*
            programs have been renamed. Compatibility ``glue'' has

            class="REFENTRYTITLE">procfs</span>(5)</span></a> have

            <p>Network filesystems (such as NFS and smbfs
            filesystems) listed in <tt
            class="FILENAME">/etc/fstab</tt> can now be properly
            mounted during startup initialization; their mounts are
            deferred until after the network is initialized.</p>

            <p>Read-only support for the Universal Disk Format
            (UDF) has been added. This format is used on
            packet-written CD-RWs and most commercial DVD-Video
            disks. The <a
            href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mount_udf&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">

            command can be used to mount these disks.</p>

            <p>Basic support has been added for the UFS2
            filesystem. Among the new features of UFS2:</p>

            <ul>
              <li>
                <p>The inode has been expanded to 256 bytes to make
                space for 64-bit block pointers.</p>
              </li>

              <li>
                <p>A file-creation time field has been added.</p>
              </li>

              <li>
                <p>A native extended attributes implementation has
                been added, permitting total attribute size stored
                on an inode to be up to twice the filesystem block
                size. This storage is used for Access Control Lists
                and MAC labels, but may also be used by other
                system extensions and user applications.</p>
              </li>
            </ul>
            UFS1 remains the default on-disk format, although UFS2
            can be selected as an option in <a
            href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=newfs&sektion=8&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">

            64-bit platforms can boot from UFS2 root
            filesystems.<br />
            <br />

            <p>To support new features mentioned in this section,
            minor changes have been made to the format of the UFS1
            superblock. These changes may create some compatability
            problems when a system older than FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE
            attempts to <a

            <tt class="FILENAME">lang/perl5</tt></a>) that exist in

          <p>The <tt class="FILENAME">bin</tt> distribution has
          been renamed <tt class="FILENAME">base</tt>, in order to
          make creation of combined install/recovery disks
          easier.</p>

          <p>ISO images and CDROMs now use the <tt
          class="FILENAME">cdboot</tt> boot loader by default. This
          eliminates the need for an emulated floppy disk image on
          a bootable CDROM and allows for a full <tt
          class="FILENAME">GENERIC</tt> kernel to be used for CDROM
          installations, at the expense of compatability with some
          old BIOSs.</p>

          <p>It is now possible to make releases of FreeBSD
          5-CURRENT on a FreeBSD 4-STABLE host and vice versa.
          Cross-architecture (building a release for a target
          architecture on a host of a different architecture)
          releases are also possible. See <a
          href="http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=release&sektion=7&manpath=FreeBSD+5.0-RELEASE">
          <span class="CITEREFENTRY"><span
          class="REFENTRYTITLE">release</span>(7)</span></a> for
          details. [MERGED]</p>

          <p>A third <tt class="FILENAME">drivers.flp</tt> floppy
          has been added to floppy releases. It holds loadable
          modules containing drivers that do not fit in the kernel
          on the <tt class="FILENAME">kern.flp</tt> disk or in the
          <tt class="FILENAME">mfsroot.flp</tt> image.</p>
