* zstd: Move to a new zstd packageLexi Winter12 days1-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Zstd is a discrete, self-contained system component. To match how we package zlib, bzip2 and xz, move it to its own package, with a separate lib package. Add the new package to the minimal set, since this is a core component that users expect to be installed. This change adds a new package to the system so, until we have a proper policy on how to handle this in release/stable branches, it should not be MFC'd.

* cam: Reduce overly long timeout values for initial device probingWarner Losh2025-12-111-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, we have very long timeouts for the initial probing commands. However, these are not appropriate for modern (post 2010) SCSI disks. Sandards since SPC3 state that these commands should not wait for media access. Since we retry them several times during the initial bus scan, these delays can delay the boot by minutes (5 minutes per errant disk in our expereince). These delays don't help and only hurt, so reduce the TESTUNITREADY, INQUIRY and MODESENSE commands (during the initial probe). Provide sysctl/tuneables to change the time for these and also the REPORTLUNS commands for people that might need to adjust them for devices that violate this belief but none-the-less work with longer timeouts. kern.cam.tur_timeout (default was 60s, now 1s) kern.cam.inquiry_timeout (default was 60s, now 1s) kern.cam.reportluns_timeout (default is 60s) kern.cam.modesense_timeout (default was 60s, now 1s) This can be partially merged: the sysctls can, but the new defaults likely shouldn't.

* libpam: Move to a new "pam" packageLexi Winter2025-11-101-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | OpenPAM is a discrete, largely self-contained system component. Users may not need PAM for many use-cases (e.g. jails, containers), so move it to its own package. Use LIB_PACKAGE to create a separate pam-lib package for libpam, so that applications that support PAM don't need to bring in all the PAM modules if PAM isn't actually in use. Add pam to the minimal sets, since this is a core system component that people expect to be installed. This means all supported installation methods will install the PAM modules by default, so don't add explicit dependencies on the PAM modules from things that use PAM (e.g. runtime), allowing custom/embedded systems to omit these easily. This change adds a new package to the system so, until we have a proper policy on how to handle this in release/stable branches, it should not be MFC'd.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | flua is a standalone third-party component that deserves its own package. In particular, this means things can use flua without having to depend on FreeBSD-utilities, which will be useful as more base utilities use flua.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't want a tests-dev package, because this means set-devel depends on tests-dev, which transitively depends on tests, which means you can't install set-devel without also getting tests. The only real "dev" files in tests-dev are from ATF (libprivateatf), so move that to its own package and add a dependency from tests. Also move Kyua to its own package, since this might be useful for running tests even when the user doesn't want the whole set of base tests installed. Add a dependency from -tests to both -atf and -kyua, and a dependency on -set-base, since the tests won't work without the full base system installed. The remaining "dev" files in tests are actually test artifacts, not real development libraries. Add a new NO_DEV_PACKAGE option to bsd.lib.mk, which causes dev files to be installed in the base package instead of creating a -dev package, and set this option for everything that installs test libraries.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For some packages (OpenSSL, Kerberos) we want to ship runtime libraries in a separate package, e.g. openssl and openssl-lib. Currently this is done using PACKAGE=openssl-lib, but that creates packages with strange names like openssl-lib-lib32. Instead, add a new LIB_PACKAGE option to bsd.lib.mk that causes runtime libraries to be placed in a new -lib subpackage. This significantly improves the set of packages we create; for example, OpenSSL goes from: FreeBSD-openssl FreeBSD-openssl-dbg FreeBSD-openssl-lib FreeBSD-openssl-lib-dbg FreeBSD-openssl-lib-dbg-lib32 FreeBSD-openssl-lib-dev FreeBSD-openssl-lib-dev-lib32 FreeBSD-openssl-lib-lib32 FreeBSD-openssl-lib-man FreeBSD-openssl-man to: FreeBSD-openssl FreeBSD-openssl-dbg FreeBSD-openssl-dbg-lib32 FreeBSD-openssl-dev FreeBSD-openssl-dev-lib32 FreeBSD-openssl-lib FreeBSD-openssl-lib32 FreeBSD-openssl-man While here, move /usr/bin/krb5-config and /usr/bin/compile_et into the kerberos-dev package.

* bridge: Restore ABI compatibility with 14.xLexi Winter2025-08-221-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When new fields were added to struct ifbreq in 15.0, the decision was made to not use the padding to preserve binary compatibility. However this causes some issues, including the inability for 14.x jails to use bridges, and a failure to bring up networking when booting a 15 kernel with a 14.x userland, e.g. during upgrade. Restore the old size of struct ifbreq by eating some of the padding. This only requires 4 bytes of padding; we have 28 bytes left, and in the medium term this problem will be solved with a netlink interface, so running out of padding should not be a concern.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For MIT Kerberos, MK_GSSAPI has no meaning: GSSAPI is a required part of Kerberos and is always built if MK_KERBEROS is enabled. Backport this behaviour to Heimdal so it works the same way. While here, change Heimdal's libcom_err and compile_et to be selected by MK_KERBEROS, not MK_KERBEROS_SUPPORT, since these are part of Kerberos and third-party users might need it even if Kerberos support is disabled in the base system.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we have the notion of a build epoch, we have sufficient tooling to handle changes that might need a larger hammer to unbreak the build. Future changes may extend our cleanup to avoid scenarios like with the MITKRB5 knob where flipping it will still require a cleanup, but on the whole most users aren't regularly flipping breaking knobs enough for this to cause the same level of problems. Those users are advised to do a CLEAN build when they flip it until we start recording build options and doing another clean for important knob switches (see D52011). When knobs of that sort are newly introduced or switch defaults, we can explicitly record an epoch for them in the interim until option-switching is detected and handled properly.
