If you want to 17 do performance measurement, benchmarking, and optimization, 18 you'll want to turn them off. This includes various WITNESS- 19 related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc debugging flags 20 in userland, and various verbose features in the kernel. Many 21 developers choose to disable these features on build machines 22 to maximize performance. 23 | 1Updating Information for FreeBSD current users 2 3This file is maintained and copyrighted by M.

| 2420070930: 25 The PCI code has been made aware of PCI domains. This means that 26 the location strings as used by pciconf(8) etc are now in the 27 following format: pci<domain>:<bus>:<device>[:<function>]. It 28 also means that consumers of <sys/pciio.h> potentially need to 29 be recompiled; this includes the hal and xorg-server ports. 30 3120070928: --- 108 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 140 Symbol versioning is enabled by default. To disable it, use 141 option WITHOUT_SYMVER. It is not advisable to attempt to 142 disable symbol versioning once it is enabled; your installworld 143 will break because a symbol version-less libc will get installed 144 before the install tools. As a result, the old install tools, 145 which previously had symbol dependencies to FBSD_1.0, will fail 146 because the freshly installed libc will not have them. 147 | 2820070930: 29 The PCI code has been made aware of PCI domains.

| 148 The default threading library has been changed to libthr. If 149 you wish to have libpthread as your default, use option 150 DEFAULT_THREAD_LIB=libpthread for the buildworld. | 152 The default threading library (providing "libpthread") has been 153 changed to libthr. If you wish to have libkse as your default, 154 use option DEFAULT_THREAD_LIB=libkse for the buildworld. |
| 151 15220070423: 153 The ABI breakage in sendmail(8)'s libmilter has been repaired 154 so it is no longer necessary to recompile mail filters (aka, 155 milters). If you recompiled mail filters after the 20070408 156 note, it is not necessary to recompile them again. 157 15820070417: --- 737 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 896POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. 897 898If you find this document useful, and you want to, you may buy the 899author a beer. 900 901Contact Warner Losh if you have any questions about your use of 902this document. 903 | 155 15620070423: 157 The ABI breakage in sendmail(8)'s libmilter has been repaired 158 so it is no longer necessary to recompile mail filters (aka, 159 milters).
