37680 &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Changes since OpenSSH 7.8
37681 This is primarily a bugfix release.
37682 New Features
37683 ssh(1), sshd(8): allow most port numbers to be specified using
37684 service names from getservbyname(3) (typically /etc/services).
37685 ssh(1): allow the IdentityAgent configuration directive to accept
37686 environment variable names. This supports the use of multiple
37687 agent sockets without needing to use fixed paths.
37688 sshd(8): support signalling sessions via the SSH protocol.
37689 A limited subset of signals is supported and only for login or
37690 command sessions (i.e. not subsystems) that were not subject to
37691 a forced command via authorizedkeys or sshdconfig. bz#1424
37692 ssh(1): support &amp;quot;ssh -Q sig&amp;quot; to list supported signatu…
37693 Also &amp;quot;ssh -Q help&amp;quot; to show the full set of supported q…
37694 ssh(1), sshd(8): add a CASignatureAlgorithms option for the
37695 client and server configs to allow control over which signature
37696 formats are allowed for CAs to sign certificates. For example,
37697 this allows banning CAs that sign certificates using the RSA-SHA1
37698 signature algorithm.
37699 sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): allow key revocation lists (KRLs) to
37700 revoke keys specified by SHA256 hash.
37701 ssh-keygen(1): allow creation of key revocation lists directly
37702 from base64-encoded SHA256 fingerprints. This supports revoking
37703 keys using only the information contained in sshd(8)
37704 authentication log messages.
37705 Bugfixes
37706 ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): avoid spurious &amp;quot;invalid format&amp;quot;…
37707 attempting to load PEM private keys while using an incorrect
37708 passphrase. bz#2901
37709 sshd(8): when a channel closed message is received from a client,
37710 close the stderr file descriptor at the same time stdout is
37711 closed. This avoids stuck processes if they were waiting for
37712 stderr to close and were insensitive to stdin/out closing. bz#2863
37713 ssh(1): allow ForwardX11Timeout=0 to disable the untrusted X11
37714 forwarding timeout and support X11 forwarding indefinitely.
37715 Previously the behaviour of ForwardX11Timeout=0 was undefined.
37716 sshd(8): when compiled with GSSAPI support, cache supported method
37717 OIDs regardless of whether GSSAPI authentication is enabled in the
37718 main section of sshd_config. This avoids sandbox violations if
37719 GSSAPI authentication was later enabled in a Match block. bz#2107
37720 sshd(8): do not fail closed when configured with a text key
37721 revocation list that contains a too-short key. bz#2897
37722 ssh(1): treat connections with ProxyJump specified the same as
37723 ones with a ProxyCommand set with regards to hostname
37724 canonicalisation (i.e. don't try to canonicalise the hostname
37725 unless CanonicalizeHostname is set to 'always'). bz#2896
37726 ssh(1): fix regression in OpenSSH 7.8 that could prevent public-
37727 key authentication using certificates hosted in a ssh-agent(1)
37728 or against sshd(8) from OpenSSH &amp;lt;7.8.
37729 Portability
37730 All: support building against the openssl-1.1 API (releases 1.1.0g
37731 and later). The openssl-1.0 API will remain supported at least
37732 until OpenSSL terminates security patch support for that API version.
37733 sshd(8): allow the futex(2) syscall in the Linux seccomp sandbox;
37734 apparently required by some glibc/OpenSSL combinations.
37735 sshd(8): handle getgrouplist(3) returning more than
37736 SCNGROUPSMAX groups. Some platforms consider this limit more
37737 as a guideline.
37738 &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

37901 may advertise, kernel logic to check if all routers on a link
37902 have the flag set and accordingly update a per-interface flag.
37903 If all routers agree that it is an IPv6-only link, etheroutputframe(),
37904 based on the interface flag, will filter out all ETHERTYPE_IP/ARP
37905 frames, drop them, and return EAFNOSUPPORT to upper layers.
37906 The change also updates ndp to show the &amp;quot;6&amp;quot; flag, ifco…
37907 display the IPV6_ONLY nd6 flag if set, and rtadvd to allow
37908 announcing the flag.
37909 Further changes to tcpdump (contrib code) are availble and will
37910 be upstreamed.
37911 Tested the code (slightly earlier version) with 2 FreeBSD
37912 IPv6 routers, a FreeBSD laptop on ethernet as well as wifi,
37913 and with Win10 and OSX clients (which did not fall over with
37914 the &amp;quot;6&amp;quot; flag set but not understood).
37915 We may also want to (a) implement and RX filter, and (b) over
37916 time enahnce user space to, say, stop dhclient from running
37917 when the interface flag is set. Also we might want to start
37918 IPv6 before IPv4 in the future.
37919 All the code is hidden under the EXPERIMENTAL option and not
37920 compiled by default as the draft is a work-in-progress and
37921 we cannot rely on the fact that IANA will assign the bits
37922 as requested by the draft and hence they may change.
37923 Dear 6man, you have running code.

38041
38042 <pre><code>Changes since OpenSSH 7.8
38043 =========================
38044
38045 This is primarily a bugfix release.
38046
38047 New Features
38048 ------------
38049 * ssh(1), sshd(8): allow most port numbers to be specified using
38050 service names from getservbyname(3) (typically /etc/services).
38051 * ssh(1): allow the IdentityAgent configuration directive to accept
38052 environment variable names. This supports the use of multiple
38053 agent sockets without needing to use fixed paths.
38054 * sshd(8): support signalling sessions via the SSH protocol.
38055 A limited subset of signals is supported and only for login or
38056 command sessions (i.e. not subsystems) that were not subject to
38057 a forced command via authorized_keys or sshd_config. bz#1424
38058 * ssh(1): support &quot;ssh -Q sig&quot; to list supported signature op…
38059 Also &quot;ssh -Q help&quot; to show the full set of supported querie…
38060 * ssh(1), sshd(8): add a CASignatureAlgorithms option for the
38061 client and server configs to allow control over which signature
38062 formats are allowed for CAs to sign certificates. For example,
38063 this allows banning CAs that sign certificates using the RSA-SHA1
38064 signature algorithm.
38065 * sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): allow key revocation lists (KRLs) to
38066 revoke keys specified by SHA256 hash.
38067 * ssh-keygen(1): allow creation of key revocation lists directly
38068 from base64-encoded SHA256 fingerprints. This supports revoking
38069 keys using only the information contained in sshd(8)
38070 authentication log messages.
38071
38072 Bugfixes
38073 --------
38074
38075 * ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): avoid spurious &quot;invalid format&quot; erro…
38076 attempting to load PEM private keys while using an incorrect
38077 passphrase. bz#2901
38078 * sshd(8): when a channel closed message is received from a client,
38079 close the stderr file descriptor at the same time stdout is
38080 closed. This avoids stuck processes if they were waiting for
38081 stderr to close and were insensitive to stdin/out closing. bz#2863
38082 * ssh(1): allow ForwardX11Timeout=0 to disable the untrusted X11
38083 forwarding timeout and support X11 forwarding indefinitely.
38084 Previously the behaviour of ForwardX11Timeout=0 was undefined.
38085 * sshd(8): when compiled with GSSAPI support, cache supported method
38086 OIDs regardless of whether GSSAPI authentication is enabled in the
38087 main section of sshd_config. This avoids sandbox violations if
38088 GSSAPI authentication was later enabled in a Match block. bz#2107
38089 * sshd(8): do not fail closed when configured with a text key
38090 revocation list that contains a too-short key. bz#2897
38091 * ssh(1): treat connections with ProxyJump specified the same as
38092 ones with a ProxyCommand set with regards to hostname
38093 canonicalisation (i.e. don't try to canonicalise the hostname
38094 unless CanonicalizeHostname is set to 'always'). bz#2896
38095 * ssh(1): fix regression in OpenSSH 7.8 that could prevent public-
38096 key authentication using certificates hosted in a ssh-agent(1)
38097 or against sshd(8) from OpenSSH &lt;7.8.
38098
38099 Portability
38100 -----------
38101
38102 * All: support building against the openssl-1.1 API (releases 1.1.0g
38103 and later). The openssl-1.0 API will remain supported at least
38104 until OpenSSL terminates security patch support for that API version.
38105 * sshd(8): allow the futex(2) syscall in the Linux seccomp sandbox;
38106 apparently required by some glibc/OpenSSL combinations.
38107 * sshd(8): handle getgrouplist(3) returning more than
38108 _SC_NGROUPS_MAX groups. Some platforms consider this limit more
38109 as a guideline.

38314
38315 <pre><code>This change defines the RA &quot;6&quot; (IPv6-Only) flag whi…
38316 may advertise, kernel logic to check if all routers on a link
38317 have the flag set and accordingly update a per-interface flag.
38318
38319 If all routers agree that it is an IPv6-only link, ether_output_frame(),
38320 based on the interface flag, will filter out all ETHERTYPE_IP/ARP
38321 frames, drop them, and return EAFNOSUPPORT to upper layers.
38322
38323 The change also updates ndp to show the &quot;6&quot; flag, ifconfig to
38324 display the IPV6_ONLY nd6 flag if set, and rtadvd to allow
38325 announcing the flag.
38326
38327 Further changes to tcpdump (contrib code) are availble and will
38328 be upstreamed.
38329
38330 Tested the code (slightly earlier version) with 2 FreeBSD
38331 IPv6 routers, a FreeBSD laptop on ethernet as well as wifi,
38332 and with Win10 and OSX clients (which did not fall over with
38333 the &quot;6&quot; flag set but not understood).
38334
38335 We may also want to (a) implement and RX filter, and (b) over
38336 time enahnce user space to, say, stop dhclient from running
38337 when the interface flag is set. Also we might want to start
38338 IPv6 before IPv4 in the future.
38339
38340 All the code is hidden under the EXPERIMENTAL option and not
38341 compiled by default as the draft is a work-in-progress and
38342 we cannot rely on the fact that IANA will assign the bits
38343 as requested by the draft and hence they may change.
38344
38345 Dear 6man, you have running code.

38494 signature algorithm.
38495 * sshd(8), ssh-keygen(1): allow key revocation lists (KRLs) to
38496 revoke keys specified by SHA256 hash.
38497 * ssh-keygen(1): allow creation of key revocation lists directly
38498 from base64-encoded SHA256 fingerprints. This supports revoking
38499 keys using only the information contained in sshd(8)
38500 authentication log messages.
38501
38502 Bugfixes
38503 --------
38504
38505 * ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1): avoid spurious &quot;invalid format&quot; erro…
38506 attempting to load PEM private keys while using an incorrect
38507 passphrase. bz#2901
38508 * sshd(8): when a channel closed message is received from a client,
38509 close the stderr file descriptor at the same time stdout is
38510 closed. This avoids stuck processes if they were waiting for
38511 stderr to close and were insensitive to stdin/out closing. bz#2863
38512 * ssh(1): allow ForwardX11Timeout=0 to disable the untrusted X11
38513 forwarding timeout and support X11 forwarding indefinitely.
38514 Previously the behaviour of ForwardX11Timeout=0 was undefined.
38515 * sshd(8): when compiled with GSSAPI support, cache supported method
38516 OIDs regardless of whether GSSAPI authentication is enabled in the
38517 main section of sshd_config. This avoids sandbox violations if
38518 GSSAPI authentication was later enabled in a Match block. bz#2107
38519 * sshd(8): do not fail closed when configured with a text key
38520 revocation list that contains a too-short key. bz#2897
38521 * ssh(1): treat connections with ProxyJump specified the same as
38522 ones with a ProxyCommand set with regards to hostname
38523 canonicalisation (i.e. don't try to canonicalise the hostname
38524 unless CanonicalizeHostname is set to 'always'). bz#2896
38525 * ssh(1): fix regression in OpenSSH 7.8 that could prevent public-
38526 key authentication using certificates hosted in a ssh-agent(1)
38527 or against sshd(8) from OpenSSH &lt;7.8.
38528
38529 Portability
38530 -----------
38531
38532 * All: support building against the openssl-1.1 API (releases 1.1.0g
38533 and later). The openssl-1.0 API will remain supported at least
38534 until OpenSSL terminates security patch support for that API version.
38535 * sshd(8): allow the futex(2) syscall in the Linux seccomp sandbox;
38536 apparently required by some glibc/OpenSSL combinations.
38537 * sshd(8): handle getgrouplist(3) returning more than
38538 _SC_NGROUPS_MAX groups. Some platforms consider this limit more
38539 as a guideline.

38744
38745 <pre><code>This change defines the RA &quot;6&quot; (IPv6-Only) flag whi…
38746 may advertise, kernel logic to check if all routers on a link
38747 have the flag set and accordingly update a per-interface flag.
38748
38749 If all routers agree that it is an IPv6-only link, ether_output_frame(),
38750 based on the interface flag, will filter out all ETHERTYPE_IP/ARP
38751 frames, drop them, and return EAFNOSUPPORT to upper layers.
38752
38753 The change also updates ndp to show the &quot;6&quot; flag, ifconfig to
38754 display the IPV6_ONLY nd6 flag if set, and rtadvd to allow
38755 announcing the flag.
38756
38757 Further changes to tcpdump (contrib code) are availble and will
38758 be upstreamed.
38759
38760 Tested the code (slightly earlier version) with 2 FreeBSD
38761 IPv6 routers, a FreeBSD laptop on ethernet as well as wifi,
38762 and with Win10 and OSX clients (which did not fall over with
38763 the &quot;6&quot; flag set but not understood).
38764
38765 We may also want to (a) implement and RX filter, and (b) over
38766 time enahnce user space to, say, stop dhclient from running
38767 when the interface flag is set. Also we might want to start
38768 IPv6 before IPv4 in the future.
38769
38770 All the code is hidden under the EXPERIMENTAL option and not
38771 compiled by default as the draft is a work-in-progress and
38772 we cannot rely on the fact that IANA will assign the bits
38773 as requested by the draft and hence they may change.
38774
38775 Dear 6man, you have running code.

41674 Get it here: https://llvm.org/releases/download.html#7.0.0
41675
41676 The release contains the work on trunk up to SVN revision 338536 plus
41677 work on the release branch. It is the result of the community's work
41678 over the past six months, including: function multiversioning in Clang
41679 with the 'target' attribute for ELF-based x86/x86_64 targets, improved
41680 PCH support in clang-cl, preliminary DWARF v5 support, basic support
41681 for OpenMP 4.5 offloading to NVPTX, OpenCL C++ support, MSan, X-Ray
41682 and libFuzzer support for FreeBSD, early UBSan, X-Ray and libFuzzer
41683 support for OpenBSD, UBSan checks for implicit conversions, many
41684 long-tail compatibility issues fixed in lld which is now production
41685 ready for ELF, COFF and MinGW, new tools llvm-exegesis, llvm-mca and
41686 diagtool. And as usual, many optimizations, improved diagnostics, and
41687 bug fixes.

41916
41917 <pre><code>I am pleased to announce that LLVM 7 is now available.
41918
41919 Get it here: https://llvm.org/releases/download.html#7.0.0
41920
41921 The release contains the work on trunk up to SVN revision 338536 plus
41922 work on the release branch. It is the result of the community's work
41923 over the past six months, including: function multiversioning in Clang
41924 with the 'target' attribute for ELF-based x86/x86_64 targets, improved
41925 PCH support in clang-cl, preliminary DWARF v5 support, basic support
41926 for OpenMP 4.5 offloading to NVPTX, OpenCL C++ support, MSan, X-Ray
41927 and libFuzzer support for FreeBSD, early UBSan, X-Ray and libFuzzer
41928 support for OpenBSD, UBSan checks for implicit conversions, many
41929 long-tail compatibility issues fixed in lld which is now production
41930 ready for ELF, COFF and MinGW, new tools llvm-exegesis, llvm-mca and
41931 diagtool. And as usual, many optimizations, improved diagnostics, and
41932 bug fixes.
41933
41934 For more details, see the release notes:

41940 Thanks to everyone who helped with filing, fixing, and code reviewing
41941 for the release-blocking bugs!

42197 <pre><code>I am pleased to announce that LLVM 7 is now available.
42198
42199 Get it here: https://llvm.org/releases/download.html#7.0.0
42200
42201 The release contains the work on trunk up to SVN revision 338536 plus
42202 work on the release branch. It is the result of the community's work
42203 over the past six months, including: function multiversioning in Clang
42204 with the 'target' attribute for ELF-based x86/x86_64 targets, improved
42205 PCH support in clang-cl, preliminary DWARF v5 support, basic support
42206 for OpenMP 4.5 offloading to NVPTX, OpenCL C++ support, MSan, X-Ray
42207 and libFuzzer support for FreeBSD, early UBSan, X-Ray and libFuzzer
42208 support for OpenBSD, UBSan checks for implicit conversions, many
42209 long-tail compatibility issues fixed in lld which is now production
42210 ready for ELF, COFF and MinGW, new tools llvm-exegesis, llvm-mca and
42211 diagtool. And as usual, many optimizations, improved diagnostics, and
42212 bug fixes.
42213

44336 - T1TF (the name &amp;quot;Foreshadow&amp;quot; refers to 1 of 3 as…
44337 bug, more aspects are surely on the way)
44338
44339 Solving these bugs requires new cpu microcode, a coding workaround,
44340 *AND* the disabling of SMT / Hyperthreading.
44341
44342 SMT is fundamentally broken because it shares resources between the two
44343 cpu instances and those shared resources lack security differentiators.
44344 Some of these side channel attacks aren't trivial, but we can expect
44345 most of them to eventually work and leak kernel or cross-VM memory in
44346 common usage circumstances, even such as javascript directly in a
44347 browser.
44348
44349 There will be more hardware bugs and artifacts disclosed. Due to the
44350 way SMT interacts with speculative execution on Intel cpus, I expect SMT
44351 to exacerbate most of the future problems.
44352
44353 A few months back, I urged people to disable hyperthreading on all
44354 Intel cpus. I need to repeat that:
44355
44356 DISABLE HYPERTHREADING ON ALL YOUR INTEL MACHINES IN THE BIOS.
44357
44358 Also, update your BIOS firmware, if you can.
44359
44360 OpenBSD -current (and therefore 6.4) will not use hyperthreading if it
44361 is enabled, and will update the cpu microcode if possible.
44362
44363 But what about 6.2 and 6.3?
44364
44365 The situation is very complex, continually evolving, and is taking too
44366 much manpower away from other tasks. Furthermore, Intel isn't telling
44367 us what is coming next, and are doing a terrible job by not publically
44368 documenting what operating systems must do to resolve the problems. We
44369 are having to do research by reading other operating systems. There is
44370 no time left to backport the changes -- we will not be issuing a
44371 complete set of errata and syspatches against 6.2 and 6.3 because it is
44372 turning into a distraction.
44373
44374 Rather than working on every required patch for 6.2/6.3, we will
44375 re-focus manpower and make sure 6.4 contains the best solutions
44376 possible.
44377
44378 So please try take responsibility for your own machines: Disable SMT in
44379 the BIOS menu, and upgrade your BIOS if you can.
44380
44381 I'm going to spend my money at a more trustworthy vendor in the future.
44382 &lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

44688
44689 <pre><code>Two recently disclosed hardware bugs affected Intel cpus:
44690
44691 - TLBleed
44692
44693 - T1TF (the name &quot;Foreshadow&quot; refers to 1 of 3 aspects of…
44694 bug, more aspects are surely on the way)
44695
44696 Solving these bugs requires new cpu microcode, a coding workaround,
44697 *AND* the disabling of SMT / Hyperthreading.
44698
44699 SMT is fundamentally broken because it shares resources between the two
44700 cpu instances and those shared resources lack security differentiators.
44701 Some of these side channel attacks aren't trivial, but we can expect
44702 most of them to eventually work and leak kernel or cross-VM memory in
44703 common usage circumstances, even such as javascript directly in a
44704 browser.
44705
44706 There will be more hardware bugs and artifacts disclosed. Due to the
44707 way SMT interacts with speculative execution on Intel cpus, I expect SMT
44708 to exacerbate most of the future problems.
44709
44710 A few months back, I urged people to disable hyperthreading on all
44711 Intel cpus. I need to repeat that:
44712
44713 DISABLE HYPERTHREADING ON ALL YOUR INTEL MACHINES IN THE BIOS.
44714
44715 Also, update your BIOS firmware, if you can.
44716
44717 OpenBSD -current (and therefore 6.4) will not use hyperthreading if it
44718 is enabled, and will update the cpu microcode if possible.
44719
44720 But what about 6.2 and 6.3?
44721
44722 The situation is very complex, continually evolving, and is taking too
44723 much manpower away from other tasks. Furthermore, Intel isn't telling
44724 us what is coming next, and are doing a terrible job by not publically
44725 documenting what operating systems must do to resolve the problems. We
44726 are having to do research by reading other operating systems. There is
44727 no time left to backport the changes -- we will not be issuing a
44728 complete set of errata and syspatches against 6.2 and 6.3 because it is
44729 turning into a distraction.
44730
44731 Rather than working on every required patch for 6.2/6.3, we will
44732 re-focus manpower and make sure 6.4 contains the best solutions
44733 possible.
44734
44735 So please try take responsibility for your own machines: Disable SMT in
44736 the BIOS menu, and upgrade your BIOS if you can.
44737
44738 I'm going to spend my money at a more trustworthy vendor in the future.

45084 SMT is fundamentally broken because it shares resources between the two
45085 cpu instances and those shared resources lack security differentiators.
45086 Some of these side channel attacks aren't trivial, but we can expect
45087 most of them to eventually work and leak kernel or cross-VM memory in
45088 common usage circumstances, even such as javascript directly in a
45089 browser.
45090
45091 There will be more hardware bugs and artifacts disclosed. Due to the
45092 way SMT interacts with speculative execution on Intel cpus, I expect SMT
45093 to exacerbate most of the future problems.
45094
45095 A few months back, I urged people to disable hyperthreading on all
45096 Intel cpus. I need to repeat that:
45097
45098 DISABLE HYPERTHREADING ON ALL YOUR INTEL MACHINES IN THE BIOS.
45099
45100 Also, update your BIOS firmware, if you can.
45101
45102 OpenBSD -current (and therefore 6.4) will not use hyperthreading if it
45103 is enabled, and will update the cpu microcode if possible.
45104
45105 But what about 6.2 and 6.3?
45106
45107 The situation is very complex, continually evolving, and is taking too
45108 much manpower away from other tasks. Furthermore, Intel isn't telling
45109 us what is coming next, and are doing a terrible job by not publically
45110 documenting what operating systems must do to resolve the problems. We
45111 are having to do research by reading other operating systems. There is
45112 no time left to backport the changes -- we will not be issuing a
45113 complete set of errata and syspatches against 6.2 and 6.3 because it is
45114 turning into a distraction.
45115
45116 Rather than working on every required patch for 6.2/6.3, we will
45117 re-focus manpower and make sure 6.4 contains the best solutions
45118 possible.
45119
45120 So please try take responsibility for your own machines: Disable SMT in
45121 the BIOS menu, and upgrade your BIOS if you can.
45122
45123 I'm going to spend my money at a more trustworthy vendor in the future.

47440 The refilling is done in the enter-kernel-from-userspace and
47441 return-to-userspace-from-kernel paths, making sure to do it before
47442 unblocking interrupts so that a successive interrupt can't get the
47443 CPU to C code without doing this refill. Per the link above, it
47444 also does it immediately after mwait, apparently in case the low-power
47445 CPU states of idle-via-mwait flush the RSB.

48072 The refilling is done in the enter-kernel-from-userspace and
48073 return-to-userspace-from-kernel paths, making sure to do it before
48074 unblocking interrupts so that a successive interrupt can't get the
48075 CPU to C code without doing this refill. Per the link above, it
48076 also does it immediately after mwait, apparently in case the low-power
48077 CPU states of idle-via-mwait flush the RSB.

52957 &lt;ul&gt;
52958 &lt;li&gt;
52959 &lt;p&gt;Here’s a few things I learned:&lt;/p&gt;
52960 &lt;/li&gt;
52961 &lt;li&gt;
52962 &lt;p&gt;Pick the right language for a problem&lt;/p&gt;
52963 &lt;/li&gt;
52964 &lt;li&gt;
52965 &lt;p&gt;C is a perfect match for WebAssembly&lt;/p&gt;
52966 &lt;/li&gt;
52967 &lt;li&gt;
52968 &lt;p&gt;C99 is a huge improvement over C89&lt;/p&gt;
52969 &lt;/li&gt;
52970 &lt;li&gt;
52971 &lt;p&gt;The dangers of pointers and explicit memory management are over…
52972 &lt;/li&gt;
52973 &lt;li&gt;
52974 &lt;p&gt;Less Boilerplate Code&lt;/p&gt;
52975 &lt;/li&gt;
52976 &lt;li&gt;
52977 &lt;p&gt;Less Language Feature ‘Anxiety’&lt;/p&gt;
52978 &lt;/li&gt;
52979 &lt;li&gt;
52980 &lt;p&gt;Conclusion&lt;/p&gt;
52981 &lt;/li&gt;
52982 &lt;/ul&gt;

53000 &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;vmhost: /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf

54161 &lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;Merge the pNFS server code from projects/pnfs-pla…
54162
54163 This code merge adds a pNFS service to the NFSv4.1 server. Although it is
54164 a large commit it should not affect behaviour for a non-pNFS NFS server.
54165 Some documentation on how this works can be found at:
54166 Merge the pN http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/pnfs-planb-setup.txt
54167 and will hopefully be turned into a proper document soon.
54168 This is a merge of the kernel code. Userland and man page changes will
54169 come soon, once the dust settles on this merge.
54170 It has passed a &amp;quot;make universe&amp;quot;, so I hope it will not…
54171 It also adds NFSv4.1 server support for the &amp;quot;current stateid&am…
54172
54173 Here is a brief overview of the pNFS service:
54174 A pNFS service separates the Read/Write operations from all the other NF…
54175 Metadata operations. It is hoped that this separation allows a pNFS serv…
54176 to be configured that exceeds the limits of a single NFS server for eith…
54177 storage capacity and/or I/O bandwidth.
54178 It is possible to configure mirroring within the data servers (DSs) so t…
54179 the data storage file for an MDS file will be mirrored on two or more of
54180 the DSs.
54181 When this is used, failure of a DS will not stop the pNFS service and a
54182 failed DS can be recovered once repaired while the pNFS service continues
54183 to operate. Although two way mirroring would be the norm, it is possible
54184 to set a mirroring level of up to four or the number of DSs, whichever is
54185 less.
54186 The Metadata server will always be a single point of failure,
54187 just as a single NFS server is.
54188
54189 A Plan B pNFS service consists of a single MetaData Server (MDS) and K
54190 Data Servers (DS), all of which are recent FreeBSD systems.
54191 Clients will mount the MDS as they would a single NFS server.
54192 When files are created, the MDS creates a file tree identical to what a
54193 single NFS server creates, except that all the regular (VREG) files will
54194 be empty. As such, if you look at the exported tree on the MDS directly
54195 on the MDS server (not via an NFS mount), the files will all be of size …
54196 Each of these files will also have two extended attributes in the system
54197 attribute name space:
54198 pnfsd.dsfile - This extended attrbute stores the information that
54199 the MDS needs to find the data storage file(s) on DS(s) for this fil…
54200 pnfsd.dsattr - This extended attribute stores the Size, AccessTime, Modi…
54201 and Change attributes for the file, so that the MDS doesn't need to
54202 acquire the attributes from the DS for every Getattr operation.
54203 For each regular (VREG) file, the MDS creates a data storage file on one
54204 (or more if mirroring is enabled) of the DSs in one of the &amp;quot;dsN…
54205 subdirectories. The name of this file is the file handle
54206 of the file on the MDS in hexadecimal so that the name is unique.
54207 The DSs use subdirectories named &amp;quot;ds0&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;ds…
54208 gets too large. The value of &amp;quot;N&amp;quot; is set via the sysctl…
54209 on the MDS, with the default being 20.
54210 For production servers that will store a lot of files, this value should
54211 probably be much larger.
54212 It can be increased when the &amp;quot;nfsd&amp;quot; daemon is not runn…
54213 once the &amp;quot;dsK&amp;quot; directories are created.
54214
54215 For pNFS aware NFSv4.1 clients, the FreeBSD server will return two pieces
54216 of information to the client that allows it to do I/O directly to the DS.
54217 DeviceInfo - This is relatively static information that defines what a DS
54218 is. The critical bits of information returned by the FreeBSD
54219 server is the IP address of the DS and, for the Flexible
54220 File layout, that NFSv4.1 is to be used and that it is
54221 &amp;quot;tightly coupled&amp;quot;.
54222 There is a &amp;quot;deviceid&amp;quot; which identifies th…
54223 Layout - This is per file and can be recalled by the server when it
54224 is no longer valid. For the FreeBSD server, there is support
54225 for two types of layout, call File and Flexible File layout.
54226 Both allow the client to do I/O on the DS via NFSv4.1 I/O
54227 operations. The Flexible File layout is a more recent varia…
54228 that allows specification of mirrors, where the client is
54229 expected to do writes to all mirrors to maintain them in a
54230 consistent state. The Flexible File layout also allows the
54231 client to report I/O errors for a DS back to the MDS.
54232 The Flexible File layout supports two variants referred to …

54238 The FreeBSD server does not do striping and always returns
54239 layouts for the entire file. The critical information in a …
54240 is Read vs Read/Writea and DeviceID(s) that identify which
54241 DS(s) the data is stored on.
54242
54243 At this time, the MDS generates File Layout layouts to NFSv4.1 clients
54244 that know how to do pNFS for the non-mirrored DS case unless the sysctl
54245 vfs.nfsd.default_flexfile is set non-zero, in which case Flexible File
54246 layouts are generated.
54247 The mirrored DS configuration always generates Flexible File layouts.
54248 For NFS clients that do not support NFSv4.1 pNFS, all I/O operations
54249 are done against the MDS which acts as a proxy for the appropriate DS(s).
54250 When the MDS receives an I/O RPC, it will do the RPC on the DS as a prox…
54251 If the DS is on the same machine, the MDS/DS will do the RPC on the DS as
54252 a proxy and so on, until the machine runs out of some resource, such as
54253 session slots or mbufs.
54254 As such, DSs must be separate systems from the MDS.

54533 <pre><code>Merge the pNFS server code from projects/pnfs-planb-server in…
54534
54535 This code merge adds a pNFS service to the NFSv4.1 server. Although it is
54536 a large commit it should not affect behaviour for a non-pNFS NFS server.
54537 Some documentation on how this works can be found at:
54538 Merge the pN http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/pnfs-planb-setup.txt
54539 and will hopefully be turned into a proper document soon.
54540 This is a merge of the kernel code. Userland and man page changes will
54541 come soon, once the dust settles on this merge.
54542 It has passed a &quot;make universe&quot;, so I hope it will not cause b…
54543 It also adds NFSv4.1 server support for the &quot;current stateid&quot;.
54544
54545 Here is a brief overview of the pNFS service:
54546 A pNFS service separates the Read/Write operations from all the other NF…
54547 Metadata operations. It is hoped that this separation allows a pNFS serv…
54548 to be configured that exceeds the limits of a single NFS server for eith…
54549 storage capacity and/or I/O bandwidth.
54550 It is possible to configure mirroring within the data servers (DSs) so t…
54551 the data storage file for an MDS file will be mirrored on two or more of
54552 the DSs.
54553 When this is used, failure of a DS will not stop the pNFS service and a
54554 failed DS can be recovered once repaired while the pNFS service continues
54555 to operate. Although two way mirroring would be the norm, it is possible
54556 to set a mirroring level of up to four or the number of DSs, whichever is
54557 less.
54558 The Metadata server will always be a single point of failure,
54559 just as a single NFS server is.
54560
54561 A Plan B pNFS service consists of a single MetaData Server (MDS) and K
54562 Data Servers (DS), all of which are recent FreeBSD systems.
54563 Clients will mount the MDS as they would a single NFS server.
54564 When files are created, the MDS creates a file tree identical to what a
54565 single NFS server creates, except that all the regular (VREG) files will
54566 be empty. As such, if you look at the exported tree on the MDS directly
54567 on the MDS server (not via an NFS mount), the files will all be of size …
54568 Each of these files will also have two extended attributes in the system
54569 attribute name space:
54570 pnfsd.dsfile - This extended attrbute stores the information that
54571 the MDS needs to find the data storage file(s) on DS(s) for this fil…
54572 pnfsd.dsattr - This extended attribute stores the Size, AccessTime, Modi…
54573 and Change attributes for the file, so that the MDS doesn't need to
54574 acquire the attributes from the DS for every Getattr operation.
54575 For each regular (VREG) file, the MDS creates a data storage file on one
54576 (or more if mirroring is enabled) of the DSs in one of the &quot;dsNN&qu…
54577 subdirectories. The name of this file is the file handle
54578 of the file on the MDS in hexadecimal so that the name is unique.
54579 The DSs use subdirectories named &quot;ds0&quot; to &quot;dsN&quot; so t…
54580 gets too large. The value of &quot;N&quot; is set via the sysctl vfs.nfs…
54581 on the MDS, with the default being 20.
54582 For production servers that will store a lot of files, this value should
54583 probably be much larger.
54584 It can be increased when the &quot;nfsd&quot; daemon is not running on t…
54585 once the &quot;dsK&quot; directories are created.
54586
54587 For pNFS aware NFSv4.1 clients, the FreeBSD server will return two pieces
54588 of information to the client that allows it to do I/O directly to the DS.
54589 DeviceInfo - This is relatively static information that defines what a DS
54590 is. The critical bits of information returned by the FreeBSD
54591 server is the IP address of the DS and, for the Flexible
54592 File layout, that NFSv4.1 is to be used and that it is
54593 &quot;tightly coupled&quot;.
54594 There is a &quot;deviceid&quot; which identifies the Device…
54595 Layout - This is per file and can be recalled by the server when it
54596 is no longer valid. For the FreeBSD server, there is support
54597 for two types of layout, call File and Flexible File layout.
54598 Both allow the client to do I/O on the DS via NFSv4.1 I/O
54599 operations. The Flexible File layout is a more recent varia…
54600 that allows specification of mirrors, where the client is
54601 expected to do writes to all mirrors to maintain them in a
54602 consistent state. The Flexible File layout also allows the
54603 client to report I/O errors for a DS back to the MDS.
54604 The Flexible File layout supports two variants referred to …

54606 uses the &quot;tightly coupled&quot; variant where the clie…

54608 For the &quot;loosely coupled&quot; variant, the layout spe…
54609 synthetic user/group that the client uses to do I/O on the …
54610 The FreeBSD server does not do striping and always returns
54611 layouts for the entire file. The critical information in a …
54612 is Read vs Read/Writea and DeviceID(s) that identify which
54613 DS(s) the data is stored on.
54614
54615 At this time, the MDS generates File Layout layouts to NFSv4.1 clients
54616 that know how to do pNFS for the non-mirrored DS case unless the sysctl
54617 vfs.nfsd.default_flexfile is set non-zero, in which case Flexible File
54618 layouts are generated.
54619 The mirrored DS configuration always generates Flexible File layouts.
54620 For NFS clients that do not support NFSv4.1 pNFS, all I/O operations
54621 are done against the MDS which acts as a proxy for the appropriate DS(s).
54622 When the MDS receives an I/O RPC, it will do the RPC on the DS as a prox…
54623 If the DS is on the same machine, the MDS/DS will do the RPC on the DS as
54624 a proxy and so on, until the machine runs out of some resource, such as
54625 session slots or mbufs.
54626 As such, DSs must be separate systems from the MDS.

54904 <pre><code>Merge the pNFS server code from projects/pnfs-planb-server in…
54905
54906 This code merge adds a pNFS service to the NFSv4.1 server. Although it is
54907 a large commit it should not affect behaviour for a non-pNFS NFS server.
54908 Some documentation on how this works can be found at:
54909 Merge the pN http://people.freebsd.org/~rmacklem/pnfs-planb-setup.txt
54910 and will hopefully be turned into a proper document soon.
54911 This is a merge of the kernel code. Userland and man page changes will
54912 come soon, once the dust settles on this merge.
54913 It has passed a &quot;make universe&quot;, so I hope it will not cause b…
54914 It also adds NFSv4.1 server support for the &quot;current stateid&quot;.
54915
54916 Here is a brief overview of the pNFS service:
54917 A pNFS service separates the Read/Write operations from all the other NF…
54918 Metadata operations. It is hoped that this separation allows a pNFS serv…
54919 to be configured that exceeds the limits of a single NFS server for eith…
54920 storage capacity and/or I/O bandwidth.
54921 It is possible to configure mirroring within the data servers (DSs) so t…
54922 the data storage file for an MDS file will be mirrored on two or more of
54923 the DSs.
54924 When this is used, failure of a DS will not stop the pNFS service and a
54925 failed DS can be recovered once repaired while the pNFS service continues
54926 to operate. Although two way mirroring would be the norm, it is possible
54927 to set a mirroring level of up to four or the number of DSs, whichever is
54928 less.
54929 The Metadata server will always be a single point of failure,
54930 just as a single NFS server is.
54931
54932 A Plan B pNFS service consists of a single MetaData Server (MDS) and K
54933 Data Servers (DS), all of which are recent FreeBSD systems.
54934 Clients will mount the MDS as they would a single NFS server.
54935 When files are created, the MDS creates a file tree identical to what a
54936 single NFS server creates, except that all the regular (VREG) files will
54937 be empty. As such, if you look at the exported tree on the MDS directly
54938 on the MDS server (not via an NFS mount), the files will all be of size …
54939 Each of these files will also have two extended attributes in the system
54940 attribute name space:
54941 pnfsd.dsfile - This extended attrbute stores the information that
54942 the MDS needs to find the data storage file(s) on DS(s) for this fil…
54943 pnfsd.dsattr - This extended attribute stores the Size, AccessTime, Modi…
54944 and Change attributes for the file, so that the MDS doesn't need to
54945 acquire the attributes from the DS for every Getattr operation.
54946 For each regular (VREG) file, the MDS creates a data storage file on one
54947 (or more if mirroring is enabled) of the DSs in one of the &quot;dsNN&qu…
54948 subdirectories. The name of this file is the file handle
54949 of the file on the MDS in hexadecimal so that the name is unique.
54950 The DSs use subdirectories named &quot;ds0&quot; to &quot;dsN&quot; so t…
54951 gets too large. The value of &quot;N&quot; is set via the sysctl vfs.nfs…
54952 on the MDS, with the default being 20.
54953 For production servers that will store a lot of files, this value should
54954 probably be much larger.
54955 It can be increased when the &quot;nfsd&quot; daemon is not running on t…
54956 once the &quot;dsK&quot; directories are created.
54957
54958 For pNFS aware NFSv4.1 clients, the FreeBSD server will return two pieces
54959 of information to the client that allows it to do I/O directly to the DS.
54960 DeviceInfo - This is relatively static information that defines what a DS
54961 is. The critical bits of information returned by the FreeBSD
54962 server is the IP address of the DS and, for the Flexible
54963 File layout, that NFSv4.1 is to be used and that it is
54964 &quot;tightly coupled&quot;.
54965 There is a &quot;deviceid&quot; which identifies the Device…
54966 Layout - This is per file and can be recalled by the server when it
54967 is no longer valid. For the FreeBSD server, there is support
54968 for two types of layout, call File and Flexible File layout.
54969 Both allow the client to do I/O on the DS via NFSv4.1 I/O
54970 operations. The Flexible File layout is a more recent varia…
54971 that allows specification of mirrors, where the client is
54972 expected to do writes to all mirrors to maintain them in a
54973 consistent state. The Flexible File layout also allows the
54974 client to report I/O errors for a DS back to the MDS.
54975 The Flexible File layout supports two variants referred to …
54976 &quot;tightly coupled&quot; vs &quot;loosely coupled&quot;.…
54977 uses the &quot;tightly coupled&quot; variant where the clie…
54978 same credentials to do I/O on the DS as it would on the MDS.
54979 For the &quot;loosely coupled&quot; variant, the layout spe…
54980 synthetic user/group that the client uses to do I/O on the …
54981 The FreeBSD server does not do striping and always returns
54982 layouts for the entire file. The critical information in a …
54983 is Read vs Read/Writea and DeviceID(s) that identify which
54984 DS(s) the data is stored on.
54985
54986 At this time, the MDS generates File Layout layouts to NFSv4.1 clients
54987 that know how to do pNFS for the non-mirrored DS case unless the sysctl
54988 vfs.nfsd.default_flexfile is set non-zero, in which case Flexible File
54989 layouts are generated.
54990 The mirrored DS configuration always generates Flexible File layouts.
54991 For NFS clients that do not support NFSv4.1 pNFS, all I/O operations
54992 are done against the MDS which acts as a proxy for the appropriate DS(s).
54993 When the MDS receives an I/O RPC, it will do the RPC on the DS as a prox…
54994 If the DS is on the same machine, the MDS/DS will do the RPC on the DS as
54995 a proxy and so on, until the machine runs out of some resource, such as
54996 session slots or mbufs.
54997 As such, DSs must be separate systems from the MDS.

61908 Occasionally I noticed that the system would not quickly process the
61909 tasks i need done, but instead prefer other, longrunning tasks. I

61923 &lt;p&gt;Now start an endless loop:&lt;/p&gt;

61959 &lt;p&gt;Now, as usual, the "root-cause" questions arise: What exactly d…
61960 this "quantum"? Is this solution a workaround, i.e. actually something
61961 else is wrong, and has it tradeoff in other situations? Or otherwise,
61962 why is such a default value chosen, which appears to be ill-deceived?&lt…
61963
61964 &lt;p&gt;The docs for the quantum parameter are a bit unsatisfying - the…
61965 its the max num of ticks a process gets - and what happens when
61966 they're exhausted? If by default the endless loop is actually allowed
61967 to continue running for 94k ticks (or 94ms, more likely) uninterrupted,
61968 then that explains the perceived behaviour - buts thats certainly not
61969 what a scheduler should do when other procs are ready to run.&lt;/p&gt;
61970
61971 &lt;p&gt;11.1-RELEASE-p7, kern.hz=200. Switching tickless mode on or off…
61972 not influence the matter. Starting the endless loop with "nice" does
61973 not influence the matter.&lt;/p&gt;
61974
61975 &lt;p&gt;[1]
61976 A pure-I/O job without compute load, like "dd", does not show
61977 this behaviour. Also, when other tasks are running, the unjust
61978 behaviour is not so stongly pronounced.

62282 Occasionally I noticed that the system would not quickly process the
62283 tasks i need done, but instead prefer other, longrunning tasks. I
62284 figured it must be related to the scheduler, and decided it hates me.</p>
62285
62286 <p>A closer look shows the behaviour as follows (single CPU):</p>
62287
62288 <p>Lets run an I/O-active task, e.g, postgres VACUUM that would
62289 continuously read from big files (while doing compute as well [1]):</p>

62295 </blockquote>
62296
62297 <p>Now start an endless loop:</p>
62298
62299 <h1>while true; do :; done</h1>
62300
62301 <p>And the effect is:</p>
62302
62303 <blockquote>
62304 <p>pool alloc free read write read write
62305 cache - - - - - -

62332
62333 <p>Now, as usual, the "root-cause" questions arise: What exactly does
62334 this "quantum"? Is this solution a workaround, i.e. actually something
62335 else is wrong, and has it tradeoff in other situations? Or otherwise,
62336 why is such a default value chosen, which appears to be ill-deceived?</p>
62337
62338 <p>The docs for the quantum parameter are a bit unsatisfying - they say
62339 its the max num of ticks a process gets - and what happens when
62340 they're exhausted? If by default the endless loop is actually allowed
62341 to continue running for 94k ticks (or 94ms, more likely) uninterrupted,
62342 then that explains the perceived behaviour - buts thats certainly not
62343 what a scheduler should do when other procs are ready to run.</p>
62344
62345 <p>11.1-RELEASE-p7, kern.hz=200. Switching tickless mode on or off does
62346 not influence the matter. Starting the endless loop with "nice" does
62347 not influence the matter.</p>
62348
62349 <p>[1]
62350 A pure-I/O job without compute load, like "dd", does not show
62351 this behaviour. Also, when other tasks are running, the unjust
62352 behaviour is not so stongly pronounced.

62659 Occasionally I noticed that the system would not quickly process the
62660 tasks i need done, but instead prefer other, longrunning tasks. I
62661 figured it must be related to the scheduler, and decided it hates me.</p>
62662
62663 <p>A closer look shows the behaviour as follows (single CPU):</p>
62664
62665 <p>Lets run an I/O-active task, e.g, postgres VACUUM that would
62666 continuously read from big files (while doing compute as well [1]):</p>

62669 <p>pool alloc free read write read write
62670 cache - - - - - -

62672 </blockquote>
62673
62674 <p>Now start an endless loop:</p>
62675
62676 <h1>while true; do :; done</h1>
62677
62678 <p>And the effect is:</p>
62679
62680 <blockquote>
62681 <p>pool alloc free read write read write
62682 cache - - - - - -
62683 ada1s4 7.08G 10.9G 9 0 76.8K 0</p>

62709
62710 <p>Now, as usual, the "root-cause" questions arise: What exactly does
62711 this "quantum"? Is this solution a workaround, i.e. actually something
62712 else is wrong, and has it tradeoff in other situations? Or otherwise,
62713 why is such a default value chosen, which appears to be ill-deceived?</p>
62714
62715 <p>The docs for the quantum parameter are a bit unsatisfying - they say
62716 its the max num of ticks a process gets - and what happens when
62717 they're exhausted? If by default the endless loop is actually allowed
62718 to continue running for 94k ticks (or 94ms, more likely) uninterrupted,
62719 then that explains the perceived behaviour - buts thats certainly not
62720 what a scheduler should do when other procs are ready to run.</p>
62721
62722 <p>11.1-RELEASE-p7, kern.hz=200. Switching tickless mode on or off does
62723 not influence the matter. Starting the endless loop with "nice" does
62724 not influence the matter.</p>
62725
62726 <p>[1]
62727 A pure-I/O job without compute load, like "dd", does not show
62728 this behaviour. Also, when other tasks are running, the unjust
62729 behaviour is not so stongly pronounced.

64766 Add the "TCP Blackbox Recorder" which we discussed at the developer
64767 summits at BSDCan and BSDCam in 2017.
64768
64769 The TCP Blackbox Recorder allows you to capture events on a TCP connecti…
64770 in a ring buffer. It stores metadata with the event. It optionally stores
64771 the TCP header associated with an event (if the event is associated with…
64772 packet) and also optionally stores information on the sockets.
64773
64774 It supports setting a log ID on a TCP connection and using this to corre…
64775 multiple connections that share a common log ID.
64776
64777 You can log connections in different modes. If you are doing a coordinat…
64778 test with a particular connection, you may tell the system to put it in
64779 mode 4 (continuous dump). Or, if you just want to monitor for errors, you
64780 can put it in mode 1 (ring buffer) and dump all the ring buffers associa…
64781 with the connection ID when we receive an error signal for that connecti…
64782 ID. You can set a default mode that will be applied to a particular ratio
64783 of incoming connections. You can also manually set a mode using a socket
64784 option.
64785
64786 This commit includes only basic probes. rrs@ has added quite an abundance
64787 of probes in his TCP development work. He plans to commit those soon.
64788
64789 There are user-space programs which we plan to commit as ports. These re…
64790 the data from the log device and output pcapng files, and then let you
64791 analyze the data (and metadata) in the pcapng files.

65055
65056 The TCP Blackbox Recorder allows you to capture events on a TCP connecti…
65057 in a ring buffer. It stores metadata with the event. It optionally stores
65058 the TCP header associated with an event (if the event is associated with…
65059 packet) and also optionally stores information on the sockets.
65060
65061 It supports setting a log ID on a TCP connection and using this to corre…
65062 multiple connections that share a common log ID.
65063
65064 You can log connections in different modes. If you are doing a coordinat…
65065 test with a particular connection, you may tell the system to put it in
65066 mode 4 (continuous dump). Or, if you just want to monitor for errors, you
65067 can put it in mode 1 (ring buffer) and dump all the ring buffers associa…
65068 with the connection ID when we receive an error signal for that connecti…
65069 ID. You can set a default mode that will be applied to a particular ratio
65070 of incoming connections. You can also manually set a mode using a socket
65071 option.
65072
65073 This commit includes only basic probes. rrs@ has added quite an abundance
65074 of probes in his TCP development work. He plans to commit those soon.
65075
65076 There are user-space programs which we plan to commit as ports. These re…
65077 the data from the log device and output pcapng files, and then let you
65078 analyze the data (and metadata) in the pcapng files.

65611
65612 &lt;p&gt;Here is the commit message:&lt;/p&gt;
65613 &lt;/blockquote&gt;
65614
65615 &lt;p&gt;```
65616 We cannot call process_up-&gt;SetState() inside
65617 the NativeProcessNetBSD::Factory::Launch
65618 function because it triggers a NULL pointer
65619 deference.&lt;/p&gt;
65620
65621 &lt;p&gt;The generic code for launching a process in:
65622 GDBRemoteCommunicationServerLLGS::LaunchProcess
65623 sets the m&lt;em&gt;debugged&lt;/em&gt;process&lt;em&gt;up pointer after
65624 a successful call to m&lt;/em&gt;process&lt;em&gt;factory.Launch().
65625 If we attempt to call process&lt;/em&gt;up-&gt;SetState()
65626 inside a platform specific Launch function we
65627 end up dereferencing a NULL pointer in
65628 NativeProcessProtocol::GetCurrentThreadID().&lt;/p&gt;
65629
65630 &lt;p&gt;Use the proper call process&lt;em&gt;up-&gt;SetState(,false)
65631 that sets notify&lt;/em&gt;delegates to false.
65632 ```&lt;/p&gt;

65904 Add identcpu.c and specialreg.h definitions for the new Intel/AMD MSRs
65905 that should help mitigate spectre. This is just the detection piece, the…
65906 features are not yet used.
65907 Part of a larger ongoing effort to mitigate meltdown/spectre. i386 will
65908 come later; it needs some machdep.c cleanup first.&lt;/p&gt;

65912 remove all PG_G global page mappings from the kernel when running on
65913 Intel CPUs. Part of an ongoing set of commits to mitigate the Intel
65914 "meltdown" CVE. This diff does not confer any immunity to that
65915 vulnerability - subsequent commits are still needed and are being
65916 worked on presently.&lt;/p&gt;

65926 use a separate page table for userspace with only the minimum of kernel …
65927 and data required for the transitions to/from the kernel (still marked as
65928 supervisor-only, of course):
65929 - the IDT (RO)
65930 - three pages of kernel text in the .kutext section for interrupt, trap,
65931 and syscall trampoline code (RX)
65932 - one page of kernel data in the .kudata section for TLB flush IPIs (RW)
65933 - the lapic page (RW, uncachable)
65934 - per CPU: one page for the TSS+GDT (RO) and one page for trampoline
65935 stacks (RW)

65944 Thanks to Alex Wilson from Joyent for early discussions about trampolines
65945 and their data requirements.

66049
66050 &lt;blockquote&gt;
66051 &lt;p&gt;The first is obvious, of course –
66052 To keep this text within the source.
66053 The second is for binaries

66055 A moral lesson from this ode –
66056 Don’t strip the copyright on code.&lt;/p&gt;
66057
66058 &lt;p&gt;The third applies when you promote:

66081 &lt;blockquote&gt;
66082 &lt;p&gt;One final point to be laid out

66084 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THIS

66231 We cannot call process_up->SetState() inside

66233 function because it triggers a NULL pointer
66234 deference.</p>
66235
66236 <p>The generic code for launching a process in:
66237 GDBRemoteCommunicationServerLLGS::LaunchProcess
66238 sets the m<em>debugged</em>process<em>up pointer after
66239 a successful call to m</em>process<em>factory.Launch().
66240 If we attempt to call process</em>up->SetState()
66241 inside a platform specific Launch function we
66242 end up dereferencing a NULL pointer in
66243 NativeProcessProtocol::GetCurrentThreadID().</p>

66855 We cannot call process_up->SetState() inside
66856 the NativeProcessNetBSD::Factory::Launch
66857 function because it triggers a NULL pointer
66858 deference.</p>
66859
66860 <p>The generic code for launching a process in:
66861 GDBRemoteCommunicationServerLLGS::LaunchProcess
66862 sets the m<em>debugged</em>process<em>up pointer after
66863 a successful call to m</em>process<em>factory.Launch().
66864 If we attempt to call process</em>up->SetState()
66865 inside a platform specific Launch function we
66866 end up dereferencing a NULL pointer in
66867 NativeProcessProtocol::GetCurrentThreadID().</p>
66868
66869 <p>Use the proper call process<em>up->SetState(,false)
66870 that sets notify</em>delegates to false.

67298 Place in the docs a copy, please.
67299 A moral lesson from this ode –
67300 Don’t strip the copyright on code.</p>
67301
67302 <p>The third applies when you promote:
67303 You must not take, from us who wrote,
