| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While Arcnet has some continued deployment in industrial controls, the lack of drivers for any of the PCI, USB, or PCIe NICs on the market suggests such users aren't running FreeBSD.

* Let syslog(3) use RFC 5424.Ed Schouten2018-04-061-0/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With r332099 changing syslogd(8) to parse RFC 5424 formatted syslog messages, go ahead and also change the syslog(3) libc function to generate them. Compared to RFC 3164, RFC 5424 has various advantages, such as sub-second precision for log entry timestamps. As this change could have adverse effects when not updating syslogd(8) or using a different system logging daemon, add a notice to UPDATING and increase __FreeBSD_version.

| | | | | | | | | | | | These problems have only been observed with boards using U-Boot (e.g. ARM) where virtual addresses are already set in the memory map by the firmware and the firmware is expecting a call to SetVirtualAddressMap to be made. I refrain from mentioning this in the note because this could also be the case on some not-yet-tested firmware on amd64 and it's not a bad recommendation for the general case.

* Add Lua as a scripting langauge to /boot/loaderWarner Losh2018-02-121-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | liblua glues the lua run time into the boot loader. It implements all the runtime routines that lua expects. In addition, it has a few standard 'C' headers that nueter various aspects of the LUA build that are too specific to lua to be in libsa. Many refinements from the original code to improve implementation and the number of included lua libraries. Use int64_t for lua_Number. Have "/boot/lua" be the default module path. Numerous cleanups from the original GSoC project, including hacking libsa to allow lua to be built with only one change outside luaconf.h. Add the final bit of lua glue to bring in liblua and plug into the multiple interpreter framework, previously committed. Add LOADER_LUA option, currently off by default. Presently, this is an experimental option. One must opt-in to using this by defining WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH. It's been lightly tested, so keep a backup copy of your old loader handy. The menu code, coming in the next commit, hasn't been exhaustively tested. A LUA boot loader is 60k larger than a FORTH one, which is 80k larger than a no-interpreter one. Subtle changes in size may tip things past some subtle limit (the binary is ~430k now when built with LUA). A future version may offer coexistance. Bump FreeBSD version to 1200058 to mark the milestone. Pedro Souza's 2014 Summer of Code project. Rui Paulo, Pedro Arthur, Zakary Nafziger and Wojciech A. Koszek also contributed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Disabled the use of RSS hash from the network card aka flowid for lagg(4) interfaces by default as it's currently incompatible with the lacp and loadbalance protocols. The incompatibility is due to the fact that the flowid isn't know for the first packet of a new outbound stream which can result in the hash calculation method changing and hence a stream being incorrectly split across multiple interfaces during normal operation. This can be re-enabled by setting the following in loader.conf: net.link.lagg.default_use_flowid="1" Discussed with: kmacy Sponsored by: Multiplay Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=327559

* Enable AUTO_OBJ by default if the OBJDIR is writable, only for in-tree builds.Bryan Drewery2017-11-021-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This can be disabled by putting WITHOUT_AUTO_OBJ=yes in /etc/src-env.conf, not /etc/src.conf, or passing it in the environment. The purpose of this rather than simply flipping the default of AUTO_OBJ to yes is to avoid hassling users with auto.obj.mk failures if the wanted OBJDIR is not writable. It will fallback to writing to the source directory like it does today if MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX is not writable. The act of enabling MK_AUTO_OBJ disables all 'make obj' treewalks since previous work has made those not run if MK_AUTO_OBJ==yes in Makefile.inc1.

This new format is used regardless of cross or native build. It allows easier management of multiple source tree object directories.
