status: Add the 2021q1 status report
This document has had a lot of different fingers on it, as is the case
with all status reports, so it'd be quite an effort to credit everyone.
There's a full log to be found on the freebsd-quarterly github repo
under the freebsd organization, and the commit log should contain the
full list.
Please note that all files for any given report, except _index.adoc,
aren't under explicit maintainership, so if anyone notices problems,
feel free to submit/commit fixes.

+
+This report covers FreeBSD related projects for the period between January and March, and is the first of four planned reports for 2021.
+
+The first quarter of 2021 has been very active in both FreeBSD-CURRENT and -STABLE, with 13.0-RELEASE work starting in January and finishing up mid-April.
+It provides lots of new features, and there's even a good chance that some workloads will experience performance improvements.
+
+The number of entries is slightly down, and this is probably due to a combination of factors like code slush as well as the ongoing issues with COVID-19, but we naturally hope that things will look up next quarter.
+This combined with a switch-over to AsciiDoctor and a decision to make full use of the status report work schedule to avoid stress, means that the report can now be expected to come out at the end of the first month after the quarter has finished, rather than in the middle.
+
+This report in particular includes a number of interesting entries, covering everything from the linuxulator, various mitigation work, long-awaited work on OpenBSM, work on kernel sanitizers, and many more things that it is hoped you will enjoy reading about.
+
+Yours, +
+Daniel Ebdrup Jensen, with a status hat on.

+
+==== What is CBSD?
+
+CBSD is a management layer written for the FreeBSD man:jail[8] subsystem, man:bhyve[8] and man:xen[4].
+CBSD allows users to manage jail/bhyve/xen environments at different levels of abstraction by providing a varied number of unified methods: vagrant-like `CBSDfiles`, `CLI` and via man:dialog[1].
+
+==== CBSD 2021Q1 Status Report
+
+A RestAPI service layer was added during last quarter, enabling creation of programmable cloud solutions.
+In addition, work has been done to support RestAPI through a `CBSDfile`, allowing for private cloud environments deployment.
+In such cases the local CBSD layer acts as a thin client.

+
+The FreeBSD CI team maintains the continuous integration system of the FreeBSD project.
+The CI system firstly checks the committed changes can be successfully built, then performs various tests and analysis over the newly built results.
+The artifacts from those builds are archived in the artifact server for further testing and debugging needs.
+The CI team members examine the failing builds and unstable tests and work with the experts in that area to fix the code or adjust test infrastructure.
+The details of these efforts are available in the link:https://hackmd.io/@FreeBSD-CI[weekly CI reports].
+
+During the first quarter of 2021, we continued working with the contributors and developers in the project to fulfil their testing needs and also keep collaborating with external projects and companies to improve their products and FreeBSD.
+
+Important changes:
+
+* All src jobs were changed to use git to follow VCS migration.
+Thanks Brandon Bergren (bdragon@) again.
+* Doc job was updated for following the AsciiDoc migration.
+
+New jobs added:

+* link:https://ci.freebsd.org/job/FreeBSD-main-amd64-gcc9_build[GCC 9 build for main on amd64]
+
+Work in progress and open tasks:
+
+* Designing and implementing pre-commit CI building and testing
+* Designing and implementing use of CI cluster to build release artifacts as release engineering does
+* Collecting and sorting CI tasks and ideas link:https://hackmd.io/@FreeBSD-CI/freebsd-ci-todo[here]

+
+The FreeBSD project and community continues to grow, and in the last 2 quarters, we established an official FreeBSD server on the popular Discord platform, as a complementary means for out-reach, support, collaboration and social connection for and between members of the FreeBSD community, new and old.
+
+Discord boasts broad accessibility and unique features that the the community can enjoy without the steeper learning curves associated with other support and social mediums, that can often deter or overwhelm newcomers.
+It also provides an opportunity to broaden FreeBSD's reach outside traditional spaces and audiences.
+
+We currently have a respectable 480 members, with that number growing daily, and have established baseline community guidelines and moderation processes consistent with and complementary to other support channels and the FreeBSD Code of Conduct.
+
+While it's early days, events have already been successfully hosted on the platform.
+In January, Tom Jones (thj@) announced and ran an online Bugathon focusing on issues related to the branching of FreeBSD 13.
+We've also created dedicated text and voice channels to facilitate more of these kinds of events in the future.
+We hope to see more events like these run as examples of how we can utilize Discord constructively and in ways we haven't as a community or project before.
+
+With the future in mind, we have plans to:
+
+* Automatically announce news, updates and advisories in Discord.
+* Verify and enable additional Discord features designed for large communities.
+* Set up bots with unique features, including moderation and interactive features for members. We welcome ideas in this regard.
+
+We are keen on project and community members to reach out to talk about how we can best leverage Discord.
+Some ideas we'd love people to get involved with include:
+
+* Brainstorm/Suggest unique and creative ideas or features.
+* Provide bug reports and user experience feedback and suggestions.
+* Actively promote Discord in other social media spaces, particularly those that maybe new or curious to learn more about FreeBSD.
+* Contribute to the Wiki page and its content.
+* Participate and support other members on Discord.
+* Run a live stream on a FreeBSD-related topic.
+* Hang out in our live audio and video channels if you're comfortable doing so.

+
+The Doc New Generation project is finished.
+The switch-over date was Saturday, January 23rd.
+
+But there's a list of remaining tasks:
+
+* Convert the Python scripts to Ruby using the AsciiDoctor API
+* Convert from releases from 4.4 to 9.0 to AsciiDoctor
+* Use rouge in the source sections instead of the CSS hack
+* Split the news page to reduce the total size of the page
+* Split the books
+* Improve the FDP book
+
+If you want to reduce the TODO list, give me a ping :)

+
+ENA (Elastic Network Adapter) is the smart NIC available in the virtualized environment of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
+The ENA driver supports multiple transmit and receive queues and can handle up to 100 Gb/s of network traffic, depending on the instance type on which it is used.
+
+Completed since the last update:
+
+* Update ENA driver to v2.3.1
+* Determine location of the MSIx vector table on the device and allocate it dynamically - this enables driver usage on instances like c5gn.
+* MFC of the ENA v2.3.1 driver to the FreeBSD 11/12/13-STABLE branches
+* ENA v2.3.1 will be a part of the FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE
+
+Work in progress:
+
+* Internal review ongoing:
+* Introduce full kernel RSS API support
+* Allow reconfiguration of the RSS indirection table and hash key
+* Adjust iflib framework for the ENA requirements
+* Add DMA width configuration field link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=6dd69f0064f1e54671cdb46ce5975a332fb761e8[commit 6dd69f0064f1]

+The Foundation purchases and supports hardware to improve and maintain FreeBSD infrastructure and provides resources to improve security, quality assurance, and release engineering efforts; publishes marketing material to promote, educate, and advocate for the FreeBSD Project; facilitates collaboration between commercial vendors and FreeBSD developers; and finally, represents the FreeBSD Project in executing contracts, license agreements, and other legal arrangements that require a recognized legal entity.
+
+Here are some highlights of what we did to help FreeBSD last quarter:
+
+==== COVID-19 Impact to the Foundation
+
+Like most organizations, our team continued to work from home.
+Our temporary ban on travel for staff members remains in effect, but continues to not affect our output too much, since most conferences are still virtual.
+We continued supporting the community and Project, even though some of our work and responses may have been delayed because of changes in some of our priorities and the impact of limited childcare for a few of our staff members.
+
+==== Partnerships and Commercial User Support
+
+We help facilitate collaboration between commercial users and FreeBSD developers.
+We also meet with companies to discuss their needs and bring that information back to the Project.
+Not surprisingly, the stay at home orders, combined with our company ban on travel during Q1 made in-person meetings non-existent.
+However, the team was able to continue meeting with our partners and commercial users virtually.
+These meetings help us understand some of the applications where FreeBSD is used.
+
+We were thrilled for the opportunity to work with AMD early on to ensure FreeBSD worked on their recently released third generation EPYC series.
+You can read more about that here: https://freebsdfoundation.org/news-and-events/latest-news/freebsd-well-prepared-for-amd-epyc-7003-series-processors/.
+
+==== Fundraising Efforts
+
+First, we’d like to say thank you to everyone who has given us a financial contribution this year! Last quarter we raised $88,237, which includes donations from organizations like Facebook and Tarsnap, as well as many individuals.
+We also have a few donation commitments for this quarter.
+
+Going forward this quarter, we will be reaching out to FreeBSD commercial users to help support our growing efforts.
+At the beginning of 2021, we opened two job positions in our software development team, to increase the amount of support we are able to provide in this area.
+That includes increasing the amount of code reviews and bug fixes we do and adding some major features to FreeBSD, to help keep FreeBSD the innovative, secure, and reliable operating system you rely on.
+
+You’ll find out how we used your donations for Q1 in our report, as well as individual reports throughout this status report.
+
+We are excited about our plans for 2021, which include more FreeBSD online advocacy and training, operating system course content, and the software development work mentioned above.
+While we are still in this pandemic, we’re working hard to help connect folks within the community with more virtual opportunities.
+
+Please consider making a donation to help us continue and increase our support for FreeBSD in 2021: https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/donate/.
+
+We also have the Partnership Program, to provide more benefits for our larger commercial donors.
+Find out more information and share with your companies! https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/FreeBSD-foundation-partnership-program/
+
+==== OS Improvements
+
+Over the quarter a total of 264 base system commits, 63 ports commits, and 10 doc tree commits were tagged as sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation.
+The Foundation also sponsored work that was committed to third-party repositories, including 26 commits to LLDB (the LLVM project debugger).
+This includes work from staff members, interns, and grant recipients.
+In other quarterly report entries you can read more about some of these sponsored projects, such as LLDB and other kernel debugging improvements, and kernel sanitizers.
+
+As usual, staff members committed numerous bug fixes, minor improvements, and security patches.
+Focus areas in the kernel included virtual memory, x86 pmap, uma, tmpfs, nullfs, ffs and ufs, and job control improvements.
+
+User space work included changes to the libc, libcasper, and libthr libraries, the run-time linker, as well as the ldd, cmp, diff, makefs, elfctl, growfs, and bhyve utilities.
+
+Foundation staff also participated in many Phabricator code reviews, supported bug triage, integrated a number of submissions from third parties, and supported the Git transition working group.
+
+Foundation staff also supported the promotion of the AArch64 (arm64) architecture to Tier-1 status.
+Work included additions to freebsd-update, integration of various bug fixes, and test run issue triage.
+
+==== Continuous Integration and Quality Assurance
+
+The Foundation provides a full-time staff member and funds projects on improving continuous integration, automated testing, and overall quality assurance efforts for the FreeBSD Project.
+
+During the first quarter of 2021, the work was focused on pre-commit tests and building release artifacts in the CI staging environment.
+
+The other main working item is following the VCS migration to change the src source from Subversion to Git and doc changed to AsciiDoc format.
+
+See the FreeBSD CI section of this report for completed work items and detailed information.
+
+==== Supporting FreeBSD Infrastructure
+
+The Foundation provides hardware and support to improve the FreeBSD infrastructure.
+Last quarter, we continued supporting FreeBSD hardware located around the world.
+We coordinated efforts between the new NYI Chicago facility and clusteradm to start working on getting the facility prepared for some of the new FreeBSD hardware we are planning on purchasing.
+NYI generously provides this for free to the Project.
+We also worked on connecting with the new owners of the NYI Bridgewater site, where most of the FreeBSD infrastructure is located.
+
+==== FreeBSD Advocacy and Education
+
+A large part of our efforts are dedicated to advocating for the Project.
+This includes promoting work being done by others with FreeBSD; producing advocacy literature to teach people about FreeBSD and help make the path to starting using FreeBSD or contributing to the Project easier; and attending and getting other FreeBSD contributors to volunteer to run FreeBSD events, staff FreeBSD tables, and give FreeBSD presentations.
+
+The FreeBSD Foundation sponsors many conferences, events, and summits around the globe.
+These events can be BSD-related, open source, or technology events geared towards underrepresented groups.
+We support the FreeBSD-focused events to help provide a venue for sharing knowledge, to work together on projects, and to facilitate collaboration between developers and commercial users.
+This all helps provide a healthy ecosystem.
+We support the non-FreeBSD events to promote and raise awareness of FreeBSD, to increase the use of FreeBSD in different applications, and to recruit more contributors to the Project.
+While we were still unable to attend in-person meetings due to covid-19, we were able to attend virtual events and began planning for the online Spring FreeBSD Developer Summit.
+In addition to attending and planning virtual events, we are continually working on new training initiatives and updating our selection of how-to guides to facilitate getting more folks to try out FreeBSD. https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd/how-to-guides/
+
+Check out some of the advocacy and education work we did last quarter:
+
+* Presented a workshop at Apricot 2021
+* Staffed a virtual stand at FOSDEM 2021 and created a what’s new in 13.0 video to accompany the stand
+* Staffed a virtual booth and was a community sponsor for FOSSASIA 2021
+* Participated as an Industry Partner for USENIX FAST ‘21
+* Committed to be an Industry Partner for USENIX Annual Tech, USENIX OSDI, USENIX Security and USENIX LISA
+* Continued to promote the FreeBSD Office Hours series Videos from the one hour sessions can be found on the Project’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/FreeBSDProject.
+See the Office Hours section of this report for more information.
+* Worked with the organizing committee to begin planning the Spring FreeBSD Developers Summit.
+* Continued recruiting for the FreeBSD Fridays series. The series will return in May.
+* Participated in an interview with The Register about FreeBSD 13.0 highlights. https://www.theregister.com/2021/03/10/the_state_of_freebsd/

+
+The doc and src trees were migrated from Subversion to Git at the end of 2020, with some additional work extending into the first quarter of 2021.
+The Git Working Group implemented or updated commit hooks, and prepared for FreeBSD 13 to be built from Git.
+We converted draft documentation from Markdown to AsciiDoc and merged it into the committer's guide and handbook.
+
+The ports repository migration to Git started at the end of the quarter, beginning with a final Subversion commit on March 31st to indicate that the conversion started.
+We are working on portsnap and other ports infrastructure and they will be finished before or soon after the migration.
+
+The Git Working Group continues to track progress on two permissively-licensed git compatible tools: Gitup and Game of Trees.
+Gitup is a small, dependency-free tool to clone and update git repositories.
+It is used only to keep a local tree up-to-date, and has no support for local commits.
+
+Game of Trees is a version control client that is compatible with Git repositories.
+It provides a user interface and workflow that is distinct from that of Git.
+It is in no way intended to be a drop-in replacement for git, but can be used to develop software maintained in a Git repository.
+
+Gitup and Game of Trees are currently available as ports and packages.
+Future work will evaluate them as candidates for the base system.
+
+In the second quarter of 2021 we expect to complete some minor remaining migration tasks.
+This will complete the initial phase of the Git migration, and the working group will wind down.
+The core team will then begin a new effort to investigate and evaluate new workflow changes.

+Its design follows the “Less, but better” philosophy.
+
+==== Q1 2021 Status
+
+* helloSystem and some of the motivations and core ideas behind it were presented at the FOSDEM 2021 BSD Devroom in the talk link:https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/hello_bsd/["hello... again? Simplicity, elegance, and usability for the desktop"]. Video recordings of the talk and Q&A session are available link:https://video.fosdem.org/2021/D.bsd/hello_bsd.webm[WebM/VP9], link:https://video.fosdem.org/2021/D.bsd/hello_bsd.mp4[mp4]
+* Version 0.4.0 of helloSystem was published. Installable Live ISO images are available.
+* Work has started towards 0.5.0. We are beginning to see contributed features and bugfixes
+** System menu reflects changes made in Applications immediately
+** Filer file manager brings already-open windows to the front rather than opening multiple windows for the same folder
+** Initial spatial mode option (each folder opens in its own window in the file manager that remembers its on-screen location)

+==== Newer Intel Wireless device support
+
+The Intel Wireless driver update project aims to bring support for newer chipsets.
+
+During the first quarter the driver and firmware were synched from upstream so that we will have support for all modern cards currently supported in Linux.
+Some iwlwifi driver changes were also submitted back upstream.
+
+Several conflicts with the original implementation of LinuxKPI were or are being resolved and more LinuxKPI code was upstreamed to FreeBSD HEAD.
+
+LinuxKPI 802.11 compat code was improved and as of the day of writing we have data packets going over 11a.
+
+The plan for the next weeks is to clean things up, land as much as possible in HEAD, provide the code for testing and work on stability based on feedback before filling gaps in the LinuxKPI 802.11 compat code to enhance support for more standards and features.

+
+The KDE on FreeBSD project aims to package all of the software produced by the KDE Community for the FreeBSD ports tree.
+The software includes a full desktop environment called KDE Plasma, graphics applications, instant-messengers, a video-editing suite, as well as a tea timer and hundreds of other applications that can be used on any FreeBSD machine.
+
+The KDE team (kde@) is part of desktop@ and x11@ as well, building the software stack to make FreeBSD beautiful and usable as a daily-driver graphics-based desktop machine.
+
+The KDE Frameworks have a monthly release cycle; KDE Plasma and the rest of KDE software run on a quarterly cycle plus monthly bugfixes.
+All of those releases landed in ports in a timely manner.
+Around KDE there are several hundred other applications with their own releases, of which notable or new ones are:
+
+* `deskutils/calindori`, `deskutils/kongress`, `net-im/kaidan`, `deskutils/semantik` and `graphics/kgeotag`
+* `net-im/ruqola` and `net-im/neochat` for Rocket and Matrix instant-messaging, respectively
+* `audio/amarok`, the one-time favorite KDE music player
+
+Infrastructure work improved the way Qt5 ports install- and un-install changes to the global header `qconfig-modules.h`.
+CMake releases landed with distressing regularity, and various low-level things like `devel/libphonenumber` and `graphics/poppler` were updated as needed.
+
+The big issue in the Qt stack on FreeBSD is Qt5-WebEngine, which is based on Chromium.
+Like Chromium itself (upstream), it has a tangled mess of a build system based on Python 2.7.
+The scheduled removal of Python 2.7 and ports that depend on it is a sword looming over a large chunk of the Qt and KDE stack.
+Some resolution may be forthcoming in the form of WebEngine-less ports, but the real effort is in trying to get WebEngine to build with Python3.
+
+More detailed descriptions of the updates in this quarter are available link:https://euroquis.nl/kde/2021/02/13/freebsd.html[here (part 1)] and link:https://euroquis.nl/kde/2021/03/26/freebsd2021o2.html[here (part 2)].

+=== Kernel Sanitizers
+
+Contact: Mark Johnston <markj at FreeBSD.org>
+
+Work has been ongoing to port a pair of kernel sanitizers from NetBSD to FreeBSD.
+Sanitizers are debugging tools which make use of compiler instrumentation to validate memory accesses.
+They can automatically detect many classes of C programming bugs, such as use-after-frees and loads of uninitialized variables.
+When combined with link:https://github.com/google/syzkaller[syzkaller] or other testing tools, they are effective at detecting kernel bugs that may otherwise require a great deal of manual effort to identify.
+
+Two sanitizers are being ported, KASAN (link:https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AddressSanitizer.html[AddressSanitizer]) and KMSAN (link:https://clang.llvm.org/docs/MemorySanitizer.html[MemorySanitizer]).
+KASAN checks the validity of all memory accesses within the kernel map and triggers a panic upon an out-of-bounds access or a use-after-free.
+Various kernel memory allocators annotate regions of memory to denote whether corresponding accesses are valid.
+The initial port of KASAN is complete and is planned to appear in the FreeBSD development branch in mid-April.
+KMSAN detects uses of uninitialized memory and can detect bugs that result in the contents of kernel memory being leaked to userspace.
+Both sanitizers incur considerable memory and CPU overhead.
+They are intended to be used mainly in conjunction with test frameworks, though it is certainly possible to boot and run sanitizer-enabled kernels in a desktop or laptop environment.
+Currently this work is amd64-only.
+It should be possible to port it to arm64 and riscv with relatively little effort.
+
+Future work in this area consists of finishing the KMSAN port, fixing bugs found by the combination of KASAN and syzkaller, and making sure that sanitizers can validate accesses to the direct map.
+This may consist of an option to disable usage of the direct map, or introducing a shadow for the direct map.

+=== Linux compatibility layer update
+
+Contact: Edward Tomasz Napierala, <trasz at FreeBSD.org>
+
+Linuxulator improvements have been ongoing for the last two years, with support from the FreeBSD Foundation over a few distinct project grants as well as contributions from the community.
+The goal of this project is to improve FreeBSD's ability to execute unmodified Linux binaries.
+Current support status of specific Linux applications is being tracked at the link:https://wiki.freebsd.org/LinuxApps[Linux app status Wiki page].
+
+The work this quarter focused on making sure the 13.0-RELEASE ships with Linuxulator in a good shape, and fixing problems reported by users.
+There are some new directories provided by `linsysfs(5)`, the lack of which, through a curious chain of events, broke installation of make(1) in Ubuntu Focal.
+The `getcwd(2)` syscall was fixed to no longer return the wrong error value for certain conditions, which was breaking Mono.
+The `getsockopt(2)` syscall now supports `SO_PEERSEC` and `SO_PEERGROUPS`, which are being used by su(8) and sudo(8).
+Other fixes include flag handling for 32-bit `send(2)` syscall, and several ptrace(2) problems, which were affecting Steam games. The kernel version was bumped to 3.17.0 to unbreak Qt applications from Focal.
+The `sysutils/debootstrap` port, and its corresponding `debootstrap` package, now correctly handle Ubuntu's GPG keys.
+The debootstrap utility now installs the `mremap(2)` workaround for `apt(8)`.
+This reduces the number of steps required to set up Linux chroot or jail.
+Finally there have been some improvements to the startup scripts.

+The LLDB project builds on libraries provided by LLVM and Clang to provide a great modern debugger.
+It uses the Clang ASTs and the expression parser, LLVM JIT, LLVM disassembler, etc so that it provides an experience that “just works”.
+It is also blazingly fast and more permissively licensed than GDB, the GNU Debugger.
+
+FreeBSD includes LLDB in the base system. At present, it has some limitations in comparison with the GNU GDB debugger, and does not yet provide a complete replacement.
+This project aimed to finish porting the FreeBSD platform support in LLDB to the modern client-server model on all architectures originally supported by LLDB on FreeBSD and removing the obsolete plugin.
+
+After switching to the new process model, the project focused on implementing support for tracing ``fork(2)`` and ``vfork(2)`` syscalls.
+The proposed model is compatible with the ``follow-fork-mode`` setting from GDB.
+On fork, the debugger can either continuing tracing the parent and detach the child, or switch to tracing the child and detach the parent.
+The new code makes it possible to debug child processes.
+It also prevents software breakpoints from leaking to child processes and causing them to crash.
+
+The introduced changes are expected to be shipped with LLDB 13.0.
+
+The overall experience of FreeBSD/LLDB developers and advanced users on this rock solid Operating System reached the state known from other environments.
+Furthermore, the FreeBSD-focused work also resulted in generic improvements, enhancing the LLDB support for Linux and NetBSD.
+
+TODO: we are currently working on adding a ``ptrace(2)`` request to create a core dump of the stopped program without crashing it.
+Afterwards, we are planning to improve LLDB test coverage for core dump support and work on any issues we might hit.

+
+Marvell Armada 7k8k and Octeon TX2 CN913x SoC families are quad-core 64-bit ARMv8 Cortex-A72 processors with high speed peripherals including 10 Gb Ethernet, PCIe 3.0, SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0 for a wide range of networking, storage, security and industrial applications.
+
+Although the mentioned SoCs are mostly supported in FreeBSD HEAD, some pieces required improvements.
+
+Applied changes:
+
+* Add missing frequency modes in ap806_clock driver (link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=a86b0839d7bf3fc06b1ae[commit a86b0839d7bf])
+* Multiple fixes in mvebu_gpio driver - in cooperation with mmel (link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=a5dce53b75d8750ba[commit a5dce53b75d8])
+* Fix device tree data parsing in mv\_ap806\_gicp interrupt controller driver (link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=622d17da46eb360c3d684[commit 622d17da46eb])
+* Rework the ICU interrupt controller (mv\_cp110\_icu) and its parent (mv\_ap806\_gicp), so that they no longer rely on the data provided by firmware, which fixes booting the OS from the newer U-Boot/TF-A revisions (link:https://reviews.freebsd.org/D28803[D28803])
+* PCIE Designware driver (pci_dw) fixes:
+** Correct setting of outbound I/O ATU window.
+** Allow mapping ATU windows bigger than 4GB.
+* Generic improvements that enable proper user-space mapping and access of the PCI BARs
+
+TODO:
+
+* Upstream PCIE improvements.
+* Improve and merge ICU support rework.

+=== Vulnerability Mitigations

+
+We added support for enforcing a https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=2e1c94aa1fd582fb8ae0522f0827be719ff5fb67[write XOR execute] mapping policy.
+It is enabled by setting the `kern.elf64.allow_wx` and/or `kern.elf32.allow_wx` sysctls to 0 (for 64-bit and 32-bit binaries, respectively).
+Binaries can indicate that they requre writeable and executable mappings by setting the `NT_FREEBSD_FCTL_WXNEEDED` ELF feature bit, set via elfctl.
+
+In addition, elfctl received a few usability improvements to support use by ports, targeting different FreeBSD base system versions.
+We added a https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=f6d95a01103a49a94c876d5a51bb4be25c06d964[`-i` flag] to ignore unknown flags (so that the same elfctl invocation could be used on older FreeBSD versions) as well as the ability to https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=86f33b5fcf6087bf4439881011b920ff99e6e300[specify features by value].
+
+Flags that request opt-out of a mitigation now have a `no` prefix to make the sense clearer.
+For example, the flag to indicate that the binary is not compatible with ASLR is now named `noaslr`.
+Unprefixed flag names are still supported, for backwards compatibility, but will emit a warning and will be removed in a later version.
+
+The next step is to introduce ports infrastructure to support tagging binaries in ports that require special flags.
+Details can be found in https://bugs.freebsd.org/252629[PR252629].
+
+Another update is that the base system binaries are now built as position-independent executable (PIE) https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=9a227a2fd642ec057a0ec70d67d5699d65553294[by default], for 64-bit architectures.
+PIE executables are used in conjunction with address randomization (ASLR) as a mitigation for certain types of security vulnerabilities.
+The ASLR feature still remains opt-in, however the described change allows enabling it using only sysctl knobs, without a need to rebuild the image.
+Enabling PIE results in no material performance impact for most workloads.
+
+It is also worth mentioning that a certain number of ports inherit the base systems /usr/share/mk infrastructure, and some initially failed to build after toggling the PIE setting.
+All issues detected by executing the exp-run were addressed.
+The details can be found in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=253275[PR253275].
+
+The next step is to try enabling ASLR by default for 64-bit architectures.
+The https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27666[patch] is under discussion.

+
+This work presents a number of ioctl commands on [.underline]#/dev/sndstat# using nv(9) to expose all available audio device nodes.
+nv(9) is used to generate a serialized binary stream representation of the information of audio device nodes presented in the running system.
+The documented nvlist structure in sndstat(4) manual page is stable for programming use.
+
+For a long time, enumerating the audio device node interface required parsing content of [.underline]#/dev/sndstat#.
+It is tedious to write such a parser and handle different `hw.snd.verbose` levels correctly.
+Using nv(9) eliminates the need to write a text parser to do audio device nodes enumeration.
+
+This work has been link:https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=c96151d33509655efb7fb26768cb56a041c176f1[committed] and is available in FreeBSD 14-CURRENT.
