For commonly done items, please see the 5COMMON ITEMS: section later in the file. These instructions assume that you 6basically know what you are doing. If not, then please consult the FreeBSD 7handbook: 8 --- 17 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 26 includes various WITNESS- related kernel options, INVARIANTS, malloc 27 debugging flags in userland, and various verbose features in the 28 kernel. Many developers choose to disable these features on build 29 machines to maximize performance. (To completely disable malloc 30 debugging, define MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf, or to merely 31 disable the most expensive debugging functionality run 32 "ln -s 'abort:false,junk:false' /etc/malloc.conf".) 33 |
3420150307: 35 The 32-bit PowerPC kernel has been changed to a position-independent 36 executable. This can only be booted with a version of loader(8) 37 newer than January 31, 2015, so make sure to update both world and 38 kernel before rebooting. 39 |
4020150217: 41 If you are running a -CURRENT kernel since r273872 (Oct 30th, 2014), 42 but before r278950, the RNG was not seeded properly. Immediately 43 upgrade the kernel to r278950 or later and regenerate any keys (e.g. 44 ssh keys or openssl keys) that were generated w/ a kernel from that 45 range. This does not affect programs that directly used /dev/random 46 or /dev/urandom. All userland uses of arc4random(3) are affected. 47 --- 1106 unchanged lines hidden (view full) --- 1154HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, 1155STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING 1156IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE 1157POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. 1158 1159Contact Warner Losh if you have any questions about your use of 1160this document. 1161 |
