We read a trip report about FreeBSD in China, look at how Unix deals with Signals, a stats collector in DragonFlyBSD & much more! This episode was brought to you by Headlines Trip Report: FreeBSD in China at COPU and LinuxCon (https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/blog/trip-report-freebsd-in-china-at-copu-and-linuxcon/) This trip report is from Deb Goodkin, the Executive Director of the FreeBSD Foundation. She travelled to China in May 2017 to promote FreeBSD, meet with companies, and participate in discussions around Open Source. > In May of 2017, we were invited to give a talk about FreeBSD at COPU's (China Open Source Promotional Unit) Open Source China, Open Source World Summit, which took place June 21-22, in Beijing. This was a tremendous opportunity to talk about the advantages of FreeBSD to the open source leaders and organizations interested in open source. I was honored to represent the Project and Foundation and give the presentation “FreeBSD Advantages and Applications”. > Since I was already going to be in Beijing, and LinuxCon China was being held right before the COPU event, Microsoft invited me to be part of a women-in-tech panel they were sponsoring. There were six of us on the panel including two from Microsoft, one from the Linux Foundation, one from Accenture of China, and one from Women Who Code. Two of us spoke in English, with everyone else speaking Chinese. It was disappointing that we didn't have translators, because I would have loved hearing everyone's answers. We had excellent questions from the audience at the end. I also had a chance to talk with a journalist from Beijing, where I emphasized how contributing to an open source project, like FreeBSD, is a wonderful way to get experience to boost your resume for a job. > The first day of LinuxCon also happened to be FreeBSD Day. I had my posters with me and was thrilled to have the Honorary Chairman of COPU (also known as the “Father of Open Source in China”) hold one up for a photo op. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a copy of that photo for proof (I'm still working on it!). We spent a long time discussing the strengths of FreeBSD. He believes there are many applications in China that could benefit from FreeBSD, especially for embedded devices, university research, and open source education. We had more time throughout the week to discuss FreeBSD in more detail. > Since I was at LinuxCon, I had a chance to meet with people from the Linux Foundation, other open source projects, and some of our donors. With LinuxCon changing its name to Open Source Summit, I discussed how important it is to include minority voices like ours to contribute to improving the open source ecosystem. The people I talked to within the Linux Foundation agreed and suggested that we get someone from the Project to give a talk at the Open Source Summit in Prague this October. Jim Zemlin, the Linux Foundation Executive Director, suggested having a BSD track at the summits. We did miss the call for proposals for that conference, but we need to get people to consider submitting proposals for the Open Source Summits in 2018. > I talked to a CTO from a company that donates to us and he brought up his belief that FreeBSD is much easier to get started on as a contributor. He talked about the steep path in Linux to getting contributions accepted due to having over 10,000 developers and the hierarchy of decision makers, from Linus to his main lieutenants to the layers beneath him. It can take 6 months to get your changes in! > On Tuesday, Kylie and I met with a representative from Huawei, who we've been meeting over the phone with over the past few months. Huawei has a FreeBSD contributor and is looking to add more. We were thrilled to hear they decided to donate this year. We look forward to helping them get up to speed with FreeBSD and collaborate with the Project. > Wednesday marked the beginning of COPU and the reason I flew all the way to Beijing! We started the summit with having a group photo of all the speakers:The honorary chairman, Professor Lu in the front middle. > My presentation was called “FreeBSD Advantages and Applications”. A lot of the material came from Foundation Board President, George-Neville-Neil's presentation, “FreeBSD is not a Linux Distribution”, which is a wonderful introduction to FreeBSD and includes the history of FreeBSD, who uses it and why, and which features stand out. My presentation went well, with Professor Lu and others engaged through the translators. Afterwards, I was invited to a VIP dinner, which I was thrilled about. > The only hitch was that Kylie and I were running a FreeBSD meetup that evening, and both were important! Beijing during rush hour is crazy, even trying to go only a couple of miles is challenging. We made plans that I would go to the meetup and give the same presentation, and then head back to the dinner. Amazingly, it worked out. Check out the rest of her trip report and stay tuned for more news from the region as this is one of the focus areas of the Foundation. *** Unix: Dealing with signals (http://www.networkworld.com/article/3211296/linux/unix-dealing-with-signals.html) Signals on Unix systems are critical to the way processes live and die. This article looks at how they're generated, how they work, and how processes receive or block them On Unix systems, there are several ways to send signals to processes—with a kill command, with a keyboard sequence (like control-C), or through a program Signals are also generated by hardware exceptions such as segmentation faults and illegal instructions, timers and child process termination. But how do you know what signals a process will react to? After all, what a process is programmed to do and able to ignore is another issue. Fortunately, the /proc file system makes information about how processes handle signals (and which they block or ignore) accessible with commands like the one shown below. In this command, we're looking at information related to the login shell for the current user, the "$$" representing the current process. On FreeBSD, you can use procstat -i PID to get that and even more information, and easier to digest form P if signal is pending in the global process queue I if signal delivery disposition is SIGIGN C if signal delivery is to catch it Catching a signal requires that a signal handling function exists in the process to handle a given signal. The SIGKILL (9) and SIGSTOP (#) signals cannot be ignored or caught. For example, if you wanted to tell the kernel that ctrl-C's are to be ignored, you would include something like this in your source code: signal(SIGINT, SIGIGN); To ensure that the default action for a signal is taken, you would do something like this instead: signal(SIGSEGV, SIGDFL); + The article then shows some ways to send signals from the command line, for example to send SIGHUP to a process with pid 1234: kill -HUP 1234 + You can get a list of the different signals by running kill -l On Unix systems, signals are used to send all kinds of information to running processes, and they come from user commands, other processes, and the kernel itself. Through /proc, information about how processes are handling signals is now easily accessible and, with just a little manipulation of the data, easy to understand. links owned by NGZ erroneously marked as on loan (https://smartos.org/bugview/OS-6274) NGZ (Non-Global Zone), is IllumOS speak for their equivalent to a jail > As reported by user brianewell in smartos-live#737, NGZ ip tunnels stopped persisting across zone reboot. This behavior appeared in the 20170202 PI and was not present in previous releases. After much spelunking I determined that this was caused by a regression introduced in commit 33df115 (part of the OS-5363 work). The regression was a one-line change to link_activate() which marks NGZ links as on loan when they are in fact not loaned because the NGZ created and owns the link. “On loan” means the interface belongs to the host (GZ, Global Zone), and has been loaned to the NGZ (Jail) This regression was easy to introduce because of the subtle nature of this code and lack of comments. I'm going to remove the regressive line, add clarifying comments, and also add some asserts. The following is a detailed analysis of the issue, how I debugged it, and why my one-line change caused the regression: To start I verified that PI 20170119 work as expected: booted 20170119 created iptun (named v4sys76) inside of a native NGZ (names sos-zone) performed a reboot of sos-zone zlogin to sos-zone and verify iptun still exists after reboot Then I booted the GZ into PI 20170202 and verified the iptun did not show up booted 20170202 started sos-zone zlogin and verified the iptun was missing At this point I thought I would recreate the iptun and see if I could monitor the zone halt/boot process for the culprit, but instead I received an error from dladm: "object already exists". I didn't expect this. So I used mdb to inspect the dlmgmtd state. Sure enough the iptun exists in dlmgmtd. Okay, so if the link already exists, why doesn't it show up (in either the GZ or the NGZ)? If a link is not marked as active then it won't show up when you query dladm. When booting the zone on 20170119 the llflags for the iptun contained the value 0x3. So the problem is the link is not marked as active on the 20170202 PI. The linkactivate() function is responsible for marking a link as active. I used dtrace to verify this function was called on the 20170202 PI and that the dlmgmtlinkt had the correct llflags value. So the iptun link structure has the correct llflags when linkactivate() returns but when I inspect the same structure with mdb afterwards the value has changed. Sometime after linkactivate() completes some other process changed the llflags value. My next question was: where is linkactivate() called and what comes after it that might affect the llflags? I did another trace and got this stack. The dlmgmtupid() function calls dlmgmtwritedbentry() after linkactivate() and that can change the flags. But dtrace proved the llflags value was still 0x3 after returning from this function. With no obvious questions left I then asked cscope to show me all places where llflags is modified. As I walked through the list I used dtrace to eliminate candidates one at a time -- until I reached dlmgmtdestroycommon(). I would not have expected this function to show up during zone boot but sure enough it was being called somehow, and by someone. Who? Since there is no easy way to track door calls it was at this point I decided to go nuclear and use the dtrace stop action to stop dlmgmtd when it hits dlmgmtdestroycommon(). Then I used mdb -k to inspect the door info for the dlmgmtd threads and look for my culprit. The culprit is doupiptun() caused by the dladm up-iptun call. Using ptree I then realized this was happening as part of the zone boot under the network/iptun svc startup. At this point it was a matter of doing a zlogin to sos-zone and running truss on dladm up-iptun to find the real reason why dladmdestroydatalinkid() is called. So the link is marked as inactive because dladmgetsnapconf() fails with DLADMSTATUSDENIED which is mapped to EACCESS. Looking at the dladmgetsnapconf() code I see the following “The caller is in a non-global zone and the persistent configuration belongs to the global zone.” What this is saying is that if a link is marked "on loan" (meaning it's technically owned/created by the GZ but assigned/loaned to the NGZ) and the zone calling dladmgetsnapconf() is an NGZ then return EACCESS because the configuration of the link is up to the GZ, not the NGZ. This code is correct and should be enforced, but why is it tripping in PI 20170202 and not 20170119? It comes back to my earlier observation that in the 20170202 PI we marked the iptun as "on loan" but not in the older one. Why? Well as it turns out while fixing OS-5363 I fixed what I thought was a bug in linkactivate() When I first read this code it was my understanding that anytime we added a link to a zone's datalink list, by calling zoneadddatalink(), that link was then considered "on loan". My understanding was incorrect. The linkactivate() code has a subtleness that eluded me. There are two cases in linkactivate(): 1. The link is under an NGZ's datalink list but it's lllinkid doesn't reflect that (e.g., the link is found under zoneid 3 but lllinkid is 0). In this case the link is owned by the GZ but is being loaned to an NGZ and the link state should be updated accordingly. We get in this situation when dlmgmtd is restated for some reason (it must resync it's in-memory state with the state of the system). 2. The link is NOT under any NGZ's (zonecheckdatalink() is only concerned with NGZs) datalink list but its llzoneid holds the value of an NGZ. This indicates that the link is owned by an NGZ but for whatever reason is not currently under the NGZ's datalink list (e.g., because we are booting the zone and we now need to assign the link to its list). So the fix is to revert that one line change as well as add some clarifying comments and also some asserts to prevent further confusion in the future. + A nice breakdown by Ryan Zezeski of how he accidently introduced a regression, and how he tracked it down using dtrace and mdb New experimental statistics collector in master (http://dpaste.com/2YP0X9C) Master now has an in-kernel statistics collector which is enabled by default, and a (still primitive) user land program to access it. This recorder samples the state of the machine once every 10 seconds and records it in a large FIFO, all in-kernel. The FIFO typically contains 8192 entries, or around the last 23 hours worth of data. Statistics recorded include current load, user/sys/idle cpu use, swap use, VM fault rate, VM memory statistics, and counters for syscalls, path lookups, and various interrupt types. A few more useful counters will probably be added... I'd like to tie cpu temperature, fork rate, and exec rate in at some point, as well as network and disk traffic. The statistics gathering takes essentially no real overhead and is always on, so any user at the spur of the moment with no prior intent can query the last 23 hours worth of data. There is a user frontend to the data called 'kcollect' (its tied into the buildworld now). Currently still primitive. Ultimately my intention is to integrate it with a dbm database for long-term statistical data retention (if desired) using an occasional (like once-an-hour) cron-job to soak up anything new, with plenty of wiggle room due to the amount of time the kernel keeps itself. This is better and less invasive than having a userland statistics gathering script running every few minutes from cron and has the advantage of giving you a lot of data on the spur of the moment without having to ask for it before-hand. If you have gnuplot installed (pkg install gnuplot), kcollect can generate some useful graphs based on the in-kernel data. Well, it will be boring if the machine isn't doing anything :-). There are options to use gnuplot to generate a plot window in X or a .jpg or .png file, and other options to set the width and height and such. At the moment the gnuplot output uses a subset of statically defined fields to plot but ultimately the field list it uses will be specifiable.

There are two signals one can receive after accessing invalid memory, SIGBUS and SIGSEGV. Nobody seems to know what the difference is or should be, although some theories have been unearthed. Make some attempt to be slightly more consistent and predictable in OpenBSD. Introduces jiffies in an effort to appease our penguin oppressors. Clarify that IP.OF.UPSTREAM.RESOLVER is not actually the hostname of a server you can use. Switch acpibat to use _BIX before _BIF, which means you might see discharge cycle counts, too. Assorted clang compatibility. clang uses -Oz to mean optimize for size and -Os for something else, so make gcc accept -Oz so all makefiles can be the same. Adjust some hardlinks. Make sure we build gcc with gcc. The SSLcheckprivate_key function is a lie. Switch the amd64 and i386 compiler to clang and see what happens. We are moving towards using wscons (wstpad) as the driver for touchpads. Dancing with the stars, er, NET_LOCK(). clang emits lots of warnings. Fix some of them. Turn off a bunch of clang builtins because we have a strong preference that code use our libc versions. Some other changes because clang is not gcc. Among other curiosities, static variables in the special .openbsd.randomdata are sometimes assumed to be all zero, leading the clang optimizer to eliminate reads of such variables. Some more pledge rules for sed. If the script doesn't require opening new files, don't let it. Backport a bajillion fixes to stable. Release errata.

Prevents crashes when talking to memory mapped video memory in a hypervisor. The $25 “FREEDOM Laptop!” (https://functionallyparanoid.com/2017/08/08/the-25-freedom-laptop/) Time to get back to the original intent of this blog – talking about my paranoid obsession with information security! So break out your tinfoil hats my friends because this will be a fun ride. I'm looking for the most open source / freedom respecting portable computing experience I can possibly find and I'm going to document my work in real-time so you will get to experience the ups (and possibly the downs) of that path through the universe. With that said, let's get rolling. When I built my OpenBSD router using the APU2 board, I discovered that there are some amd64 systems that use open source BIOS. This one used Coreboot and after some investigation I discovered that there was an even more paranoid open source BIOS called Libreboot out there. That started to feel like it might scratch my itch. Well, after playing around with some lower-powered systems like my APU2 board, my Thinkpad x230 and my SPARC64 boxes, I thought, if it runs amd64 code and I can run an open source operating system on it, the thing should be powerful enough for me to do most (if not all) of what I need it to do. At this point, I started looking for a viable machine. From a performance perspective, it looked like the Thinkpad x200, T400, T500 and W500 were all viable candidates. After paying attention on eBay for a while, I saw something that was either going to be a sweet deal, or a throwaway piece of garbage! I found a listing for a Thinkpad T500 that said it didn't come with a power adapter and was 100% untested. From looking at the photos, it seemed like there was nothing that had been molested about it. Obviously, nobody was jumping on something this risky so I thought, “what the heck” and dropped a bit at the opening price of $24.99. Well, guess what. I won the auction. Now to see what I got. When the laptop showed up, I discovered it was minus its hard drive (but the outside plastic cover was still in place). I plugged in my x230's power adapter and hit the button. I got lights and was dropped to the BIOS screen. To my eternal joy, I discovered that the machine I had purchased for $25 was 100% functional and included the T9400 2.54 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU and the 1680×1050 display panel. W00t! First things first, I need to get this machine a hard drive and get the RAM upgraded from the 2GB that it showed up with to 8GB. Good news is that these two purchases only totaled $50 for the pair. An aftermarket 9-cell replacement battery was another $20. Throw in a supported WiFi card that doesn't require a non-free blob from Libreboot at $5.99 off of eBay and $5 for a hard drive caddy and I'm looking at about $65 in additional parts bringing the total cost of the laptop, fully loaded up at just over $100. Not bad at all… Once all of the parts arrived and were installed, now for the fun part. Disassembling the entire thing down to the motherboard so we can re-flash the BIOS with Libreboot. The guide looks particularly challenging for this but hey, I have a nice set of screwdrivers from iFixit and a remarkable lack of fear when it comes to disassembling things. Should be fun! Well, fun didn't even come close. I wish I had shot some pictures along the way because at one point I had a heap of parts in one corner of my “workbench” (the dining room table) and just the bare motherboard, minus the CPU sitting in front of me. With the help of a clip and a bunch of whoops wires (patch cables), I connected my Beaglebone Black to the BIOS chip on the bare motherboard and attempted to read the chip. #fail I figured out after doing some more digging that you need to use the connector on the left side of the BBB if you hold it with the power connector facing away from you. In addition, you should probably read the entire process through instead of stopping at the exciting pinout connector diagram because I missed the bit about the 3.3v power supply need to have ground connected to pin 2 of the BIOS chip. Speaking of that infamous 3.3v power supply, I managed to bend a paperclip into a U shape and jam it into the connector of an old ATX power supply I had in a closet and source power from that. I felt like MacGyver for that one! I was able to successfully read the original Thinkpad BIOS and then flash the Libreboot + Grub2 VESA framebuffer image onto the laptop! I gulped loudly and started the reassembly process. Other than having some cable routing difficulties because the replacement WiFi card didn't have a 5Ghz antenna, it all went back together. Now for the moment of truth! I hit the power button and everything worked!!! At this point I happily scurried to download the latest snapshot of OpenBSD – current and install it. Well, things got a little weird here. Looks like I have to use GRUB to boot this machine now and GRUB won't boot an OpenBSD machine with Full Disk Encryption. That was a bit of a bummer for me. I tilted against that windmill for several days and then finally admitted defeat. So now what to do? Install Arch? Well, here's where I think the crazy caught up to me. I decided to be an utter sell out and install Ubuntu Gnome Edition 17.04 (since that will be the default DE going forward) with full disk encryption. I figured I could have fun playing around in a foreign land and try to harden the heck out of that operating system. I called Ubuntu “grandma's Linux” because a friend of mine installed it on his mom's laptop for her but I figured what the heck – let's see how the other half live! At this point, while I didn't have what I originally set out to do – build a laptop with Libreboot and OpenBSD, I did have a nice compromise that is as well hardened as I can possibly make it and very functional in terms of being able to do what I need to do on a day to day basis. Do I wish it was more portable? Of course. This thing is like a six or seven pounder. However, I feel much more secure in knowing that the vast majority of the code running on this machine is open source and has all the eyes of the community on it, versus something that comes from a vendor that we cannot inspect. My hope is that someone with the talent (unfortunately I lack those skills) takes an interest in getting FDE working with Libreboot on OpenBSD and I will most happily nuke and repave this “ancient of days” machine to run that! FreeBSD Programmers Report Ryzen SMT Bug That Hangs Or Resets Machines (https://hothardware.com/news/freebsd-programmers-report-ryzen-smt-bug-that-hangs-or-resets-machines) It's starting to look like there's an inherent bug with AMD's Zen-based chips that is causing issues on Unix-based operating systems, with both Linux and FreeBSD confirmed. The bug doesn't just affect Ryzen desktop chips, but also AMD's enterprise EPYC chips. It seems safe to assume that Threadripper will bundle it in, as well. It's not entirely clear what is causing the issue, but it's related to the CPU being maxed out in operations, thus causing data to get shifted around in memory, ultimately resulting in unstable software. If the bug is exercised a certain way, it can even cause machines to reset. The revelation about the issue on FreeBSD was posted to the official repository, where the issue is said to happen when threads can lock up, and then cause the system to become unstable. Getting rid of the issue seems as simple as disabling SMT, but that would then negate the benefits provided by having so many threads at-the-ready. On the Linux side of the Unix fence, Phoronix reports on similar issues, where stressing Zen chips with intensive benchmarks can cause one segmentation fault after another. The issue is so profound, that Phoronix Test Suite developer Michael Larabel introduced a special test that can be run to act as a bit of a proof-of-concept. To test another way, PTS can be run with this command: PTS_CONCURRENT_TEST_RUNS=4 TOTAL_LOOP_TIME=60 phoronix-test-suite stress-run build-linux-kernel build-php build-apache build-imagemagick Running this command will compile four different software projects at once, over and over, for an hour. Before long, segfaults should begin to appear (as seen in the shot above). It's not entirely clear if both sets of issues here are related, but seeing as both involve stressing the CPU to its limit, it seems likely. Whether or not this could be patched on a kernel or EFI level is something yet to be seen. TrueOS - UNSTABLE update: 8/7/17 (https://www.trueos.org/blog/unstable-update-8717/) A new UNSTABLE update for TrueOS is available! Released regularly, UNSTABLE updates are the full “rolling release” of TrueOS. UNSTABLE includes experimental features, bugfixes, and other CURRENT FreeBSD work. It is meant to be used by those users interested in using the latest TrueOS and FreeBSD developments to help test and improve these projects. WARNING: UNSTABLE updates are released primarily for TrueOS and FreeBSD testing/experimentation purposes. Update and run UNSTABLE “at your own risk”. Note: There was a CDN issue over the weekend that caused issues for early updaters. Everything appears to be resolved and the update is fully available again. If you encountered instability or package issues from updating on 8/6 or 8/5, roll back to a previous boot environment and run the update again. Changes: UNSTABLE .iso and .img files beginning with TrueOS-2017-08-3-x64 will be available to download from http://download.trueos.org/unstable/amd64/. Due to CDN issues, these are not quite available, look for them later today or tomorrow (8/8/17). This update resyncs all ports with FreeBSD as of 8.1.2017. This includes: New/updated FreeBSD Kernel and World & New DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) next. Experimental patch for libhyve-remote: (From htps://github.com/trueos/freebsd/commit/a67a73e49538448629ea27, thanks araujobsd) The libhyve-remote aims to abstract functionalities from other third party libraries like libvncserver, freerdp, and spice to be used in hypervisor implementation. With a basic data structure it is easy to implement any remote desktop protocol without digging into the protocol specification or third part libraries – check some of our examples.We don't statically link any third party library, instead we use a dynamic linker and load only the functionality necessary to launch the service.Our target is to abstract functionalities from libvncserver, freerdp and spice. Right now, libhyve-remote only supports libvncserver. It is possible to launch a VNC server with different screen resolution as well as with authentication.With this patch we implement support for bhyve to use libhyve-remote that basically abstract some functionalities from libvncserver. We can: Enable wait state, Enable authentication, Enable different resolutions< Have a better compression. Also, we add a new -s flag for vncserver, if the libhyve-remote library is not present in the system, we fallback to bhyve RFB implementation. For example: -s 2,fbuf,tcp=0.0.0.0:5937,w=800,h=600,password=1234567,vncserver,wait New SysAdm Client pages under the System Management category: System Control: This is an interface to browse all the sysctl's on the system. Devices: This lists all known information about devices on the designated system. Lumina Theming: Lumina is testing new theming functionality! By default (in UNSTABLE), a heavily customized version of the Qt5ct engine is included and enabled. This is intended to allow users to quickly adjust themes/icon packs without needing to log out and back in. This also fixes a bug in Insight with different icons loading for the side and primary windows. Look for more information about this new functionality to be discussed on the Lumina Website. Update to Iridium Web Browser: Iridium is a Chromium based browser built with user privacy and security as the primary concern, but still maintaining the speed and usability of Chromium. It is now up to date – give it a try and let us know what you think (search for iridium-browser in AppCafe).

Another exciting week on BSDNow, we are queued up with LLVM / Linking news, a look at NetBSD's scheduler, This episode was brought to you by Headlines FreeBSD Kernel and World, and many Ports, can now be linked with lld (https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=23214#c40) “With this change applied I can link the entirety of the FreeBSD/amd64 base system (userland world and kernel) with LLD.” “Rafael's done an initial experimental Poudriere FreeBSD package build with lld head, and found almost 20K out of 26K ports built successfully. I'm now looking at getting CI running to test this on an ongoing basis. But, I think we're at the point where an experimental build makes sense.” Such testing will become much easier once llvm 4.0 is imported into -current “I suggest that during development we collect patches in a local git repo -- for example, I've started here for my Poudriere run https://github.com/emaste/freebsd-ports/commits/ports-lld” “It now looks like libtool is responsible for the majority of my failed / skipped ports. Unless we really think we'll add "not GNU" and other hacks to lld we're going to have to address libtool limitations upstream and in the FreeBSD tree. I did look into libtool a few weeks ago, but unfortunately haven't yet managed to produce a patch suitable for sending upstream.” If you are interested in LLVM/Clang/LLD/LLDB etc, check out: A Tourist's Guide to the LLVM Source Code (http://blog.regehr.org/archives/1453) *** Documenting NetBSD's scheduler tweaks (http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/nb_20170109_2108.html) A followup to our previous coverage of improvements to the scheduler in NetBSD “NetBSD's scheduler was recently changed to better distribute load of long-running processes on multiple CPUs. So far, the associated sysctl tweaks were not documented, and this was changed now, documenting the kern.sched sysctls.” kern.sched.cacheht_time (dynamic): Cache hotness time in which a LWP is kept on one particular CPU and not moved to another CPU. This reduces the overhead of flushing and reloading caches. Defaults to 3ms. Needs to be given in ``hz'' units, see mstohz(9). kern.sched.balance_period (dynamic): Interval at which the CPU queues are checked for re-balancing. Defaults to 300ms. kern.sched.min_catch (dynamic): Minimum count of migratable (runable) threads for catching (stealing) from another CPU. Defaults to 1 but can be increased to decrease chance of thread migration between CPUs. It is important to have good documentation for these tunables, so that users can understand what it is they are adjusting *** FreeBSD Network Gateway on EdgeRouter Lite (http://codeghar.com/blog/freebsd-network-gateway-on-edgerouter-lite.html) “EdgeRouter Lite is a great device to run at the edge of a home network. It becomes even better when it's running FreeBSD. This guide documents how to setup such a gateway. There are accompanying git repos to somewhat automate the process as well.” “Colin Percival has written a great blog post on the subject, titled FreeBSD on EdgeRouter Lite - no serial port required (http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2016-01-10-FreeBSD-EdgeRouter-Lite.html) . In it he provides and describes a shell script to build a bootable image of FreeBSD to be run on ERL, available from GitHub in the freebsd-ERL-build (https://github.com/cperciva/freebsd-ERL-build/) repo. I have built a Vagrant-based workflow to automate the building of the drive image. It's available on GitHub in the freebsd-edgerouterlite-ansible (https://github.com/hamzasheikh/freebsd-edgerouterlite-ansible) repo. It uses the build script Percival wrote.” “Once you've built the disk image it's time to write it to a USB drive. There are two options: overwrite the original drive in the ERL or buy a new drive. I tried the second option first and wrote to a new Sandrive Ultra Fit 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (SDCZ43-032G-GAM46). It did not work and I later found on some blog that those drives do not work. I have not tried another third party drive since.” The tutorial covers all of the steps, and the configuration files, including rc.conf, IP configuration, DHCP (and v6), pf, and DNS (unbound) “I'm pretty happy with ERL and FreeBSD. There is great community documentation on how to configure all the pieces of software that make a FreeBSD-based home network gateway possible. I can tweak things as needed and upgrade when newer versions become available.” “My plan on upgrading the base OS is to get a third party USB drive that works, write a newer FreeBSD image to it, and replace the drive in the ERL enclosure. This way I can keep a bunch of drives in rotation. Upgrades to newer builds or reverts to last known good version are as easy as swapping USB drives.” Although something more nanobsd style with 2 partitions on the one drive might be easier. “Configuration with Ansible means I don't have to manually do things again and again. As the configs change they'll be tracked in git so I get version control as well. ERL is simply a great piece of network hardware. I'm tempted to try Ubiquiti's WiFi products instead of a mixture of DD-WRT and OpenWRT devices I have now. But that is for another day and perhaps another blog post.” *** A highly portable build system targeting modern UNIX systems (https://github.com/michipili/bsdowl) An exciting new/old project is up on GitHub that we wanted to bring your attention to. BSD Owl is a highly portable build-system based around BSD Make that supports a variety of popular (and not so popular) languages, such as: C programs, compiled for several targets C libraries, static and shared, compiled for several targets Shell scripts Python scripts OCaml programs OCaml libraries, with ocamldoc documentation OCaml plugins TeX documents, prepared for several printing devices METAPOST figures, with output as PDF, PS, SVG or PNG, either as part of a TeX document or as standalone documents What about features you may ask? Well BSD Owl has plenty of those to go around: Support of compilation profiles Support of the parallel mode (at the directory level) Support of separate trees for sources and objects Support of architecture-dependant compilation options Support GNU autoconf Production of GPG-signed tarballs Developer subshell, empowered with project-specific scripts Literate programming using noweb Preprocessing with m4 As far as platform support goes, BSD Owl is tested on OSX / Debian Jesse and FreeBSD > 9. Future support for OpenBSD and NetBSD is planned, once they update their respective BSD Make binaries to more modern versions News Roundup find -delete in OpenBSD. Thanks to tedu@ OpenBSD will have this very handy flag to in the future. (https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=148342051832692&w=2) OpenBSD's find(1) utility will now support the -delete operation “This option is not posix (not like that's stopped find accumulating a dozen extensions), but it is in gnu and freebsd (for 20 years). it's also somewhat popular among sysadmins and blogs, etc. and perhaps most importantly, it nicely solves one of the more troublesome caveats of find (which the man page actually covers twice because it's so common and easy to screw up). So I think it makes a good addition.” The actual code was borrowed from FreeBSD Using the -delete option is much more performant than forking rm once for each file, and safer because there is no risk of mangling path names If you encounter a system without a -delete option, your best bet is to use the -print0 option of find, which will print each filename terminated by a null byte, and pipe that into xargs -0 rm This avoids any ambiguity caused by files with spaces in the names *** New version of the Lumina desktop released (https://lumina-desktop.org/version-1-2-0-released/) Just in time to kickoff 2017 we have a new release of Lumina Desktop (1.2.0) Some of the notable changes include fixes to make it easier to port to other platforms, and some features: New Panel Plugins: “audioplayer” (panel version of the desktop plugin with the same name): Allows the user to load/play audio files directly through the desktop itself. “jsonmenu” (panel version of the menu plugin with the same name): Allows an external utility/script to be used to generate a menu/contents on demand. New Menu Plugins: “lockdesktop”: Menu option for instantly locking the desktop session. New Utilities: lumina-archiver: This is a pure Qt5 front-end to the “tar” utility for managing/creating archives. This can also use the dd utility to burn a “*.img” file to a USB device for booting.“ Looks like the news already made its rounds to a few different sites, with Phoronix and Softpedia picking it up as well Phoronix (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Lumina-1.2-Released) Softpedia (http://news.softpedia.com/news/lumina-1-2-desktop-environments-launches-for-trueos-with-various-enhancements-511495.shtml) TrueOS users running the latest updates are already on the pre-release version of 1.2.1, so nothing has to be done there to get the latest and greatest. dd is not a disk writing tool (http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/blog/?p=479) “If you've ever used dd, you've probably used it to read or write disk images:” > # Write myfile.iso to a USB drive > dd if=myfile.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M “Usage of dd in this context is so pervasive that it's being hailed as the magic gatekeeper of raw devices. Want to read from a raw device? Use dd. Want to write to a raw device? Use dd. This belief can make simple tasks complicated. How do you combine dd with gzip? How do you use pv if the source is raw device? How do you dd over ssh?” “The fact of the matter is, dd is not a disk writing tool. Neither “d” is for “disk”, “drive” or “device”. It does not support “low level” reading or writing. It has no special dominion over any kind of device whatsoever.” Then a number of alternatives are discussed “However, this does not mean that dd is useless! The reason why people started using it in the first place is that it does exactly what it's told, no more and no less. If an alias specifies -a, cp might try to create a new block device rather than a copy of the file data. If using gzip without redirection, it may try to be helpful and skip the file for not being regular. Neither of them will write out a reassuring status during or after a copy.” “dd, meanwhile, has one job*: copy data from one place to another. It doesn't care about files, safeguards or user convenience. It will not try to second guess your intent, based on trailing slashes or types of files. When this is no longer a convenience, like when combining it with other tools that already read and write files, one should not feel guilty for leaving dd out entirely.” “dd is the swiss army knife of the open, read, write and seek syscalls. It's unique in its ability to issue seeks and reads of specific lengths, which enables a whole world of shell scripts that have no business being shell scripts. Want to simulate a lseek+execve? Use dd! Want to open a file with O_SYNC? Use dd! Want to read groups of three byte pixels from a PPM file? Use dd!” “It's a flexible, unique and useful tool, and I love it. My only issue is that, far too often, this great tool is being relegated to and inappropriately hailed for its most generic and least interesting capability: simply copying a file from start to finish.” “dd actually has two jobs: Convert and Copy. Legend has it that the intended name, “cc”, was taken by the C compiler, so the letters were shifted by one to give “dd”. This is also why we ended up with a Window system called X.” dd countdown (https://eriknstr.github.io/utils/dd-countdown.htm) *** Bhyve setup for tcp testing (https://www.strugglingcoder.info/index.php/bhyve-setup-for-tcp-testing/) FreeBSD Developer Hiren Panchasara writes about his setup to use bhyve to test changes to the TCP stack in FreeBSD “Here is how I test simple FreeBSD tcp changes with dummynet on bhyve. I've already wrote down how I do dummynet (https://www.strugglingcoder.info/index.php/drop-a-packet/) so I'll focus on bhyve part.” “A few months back when I started looking into improving FreeBSD TCP's response to packet loss, I looked around for traffic simulators which can do deterministic packet drop for me.” “I had used dummynet(4) before so I thought of using it but the problem is that it only provided probabilistic drops. You can specify dropping 10% of the total packets” So he wrote a quick hack, hopefully he'll polish it up and get it committed “Setup: I'll create 3 bhyve guests: client, router and server” “Both client and server need their routing tables setup correctly so that they can reach each other. The Dummynet node is the router / traffic shaping node here. We need to enable forwarding between interfaces: sysctl net.inet.ip.forwarding=1” “We need to setup links (called ‘pipes') and their parameters on dummynet node” “For simulations, I run a lighttpd web-server on the server which serves different sized objects and I request them via curl or wget from the client. I have tcpdump running on any/all of four interfaces involved to observe traffic and I can see specified packets getting dropped by dummynet. sysctl net.inet.ip.dummynet.iopktdrop is incremented with each packet that dummynet drops.” “Here, 192.* addresses are for ssh and 10.* are for guests to be able to communicate within themselves.” Create 2 tap interfaces for each end point, and 3 from the router. One each for SSH/control, and the others for the test flows. Then create 3 bridges, the first includes all of the control tap interfaces, and your hosts' real interface. This allows the guests to reach the internet to download packages etc. The other two bridges form the connections between the three VMs The creation and configuration of the VMs is documented in detail I used a setup very similar to this for teaching the basics of how TCP works when I was teaching at a local community college *** Beastie Bits Plan9 on Bhyve (https://twitter.com/pr1ntf/status/817895393824382976) Get your name in the relayd book (http://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/2832) Ted Unangst's 2016 Computer Reviews (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/2016-computer-review) Bryan Cantrill on Developer On Fire podcast (http://developeronfire.com/episode-198-bryan-cantrill-persistence-and-action) 2016 in review: pf/ipfw's impact on forwarding performance over time, on 8 core Atom (http://dev.bsdrp.net/benchs/2016.SM5018A-FTN4-Chelsio.png) #Wayland Weston with X and EGL clients, running on #FreeBSD in VBox with new scfb backend.

This week on BSDNow, we're going to be hearing about Allan's trip to EuroBSDCon, plus an Interview about “Bro on BSD”! Stay tuned, for your place to This episode was brought to you by Headlines EuroBSDCon 2016 Wrapup Ollivier Robert's Photos from EuroBSDCon (https://assets.keltia.net/photos/EuroBSDCon-2016/) Get your BSDNow die-cut stickers (http://www.jupiterbroadcasting.com/stickers/) NetBSD for newbies - Develop your own Power PC (http://discusscomputerx.blogspot.com/2016/09/netbsd-for-noobies-your-power-laptop.html) We don't get to feature too many stories on NetBSD being deployed as a Power PC (Not PowerPC, you know, a Powerful “PC”), so we jumped at this one. Specifically it starts off with some of the pre-req's that you'll need to get started, such as NetBSD 7.0.1 / amd64, along with some information about which wireless nics you may be using. (NetBSD like other BSD's will give a driver based device name for network interfaces) From there, instructions on how to write your WPA_supplicant config are provided, in order for us to fetch the NetBSD sources and convert to their -STABLE branch. After doing a CVS checkout of the sources, he then provides a walkthrough of doing a kernel compile / install, however it mentions changing the config, but doesn't provide an example of what options were changed. Perhaps to remove drivers we don't need? At this point the rest of the “desktop” setup is pretty straight forward. Some packages are added such as openbox, lxappearance, firefox, etc. To get working sound, firefox requires pulseaudio, which in turn needs dbus, so instructions on getting that service up and running are provided as well. When it's all said and done, you'll end up with your shiny new NetBSD -STABLE desktop (or laptop), bragging rights achieved! *** More about OpenSMTPD 6.0.0 (https://www.poolp.org/tech/posts/2016/09/12/opensmtpd-6-0-0-released/) OpenSMTPd 6.0.0 has just been released “and it's quite different from former releases.” “Unlike most of our releases, it comes out with almost no new feature.”, “Turns out most of the changes are not visible.” Changelog: new fork+reexec model so each process has its own randomized memory space logging format has been reworked a "multi-line response" bug in the LMTP delivery backend has been fixed connections concurrency limits have been bumped artificial delaying in remote sessions have been reduced dhparams option has been removed dhe option has been added, supporting auto and legacy modes smtp engine has been simplified various cosmetic changes, code cleanup and documentation improvement “The OpenSMTPD bootstrap process was quite simple: Upon executation, the parent process would read configuration, build a memory representation of it and would then create a bunch of socketpair() before fork()-ing all of its child processes.” The problem is that this does not take advantage of the new address randomization feature. Each child will have the same memory layout, copied from the parent process “So deraadt@ suggested that if OpenSMTPD would not just fork() children but instead fork() them and reexecute the smtpd binary, then each of the children would have its own randomized memory space.” “The idea itself is neat, however not so trivial to implement because when we reexec the whole "inherit configuration and descriptors" part goes away. It's not just fork and exec, it's fork and exec and figure a way for the parent to pass back all the information and descriptors back to the new post-fork instance so it is the new instance that allocates memory and decides where the information goes.” *** Upgrade a FreeBSD 10.3 Installation with ZFS on Root and Full Disk Encryption to 11.0 (http://ftfl.ca/blog/2016-09-17-zfs-fde-one-pool-conversion.html) While FreeBSD 11.0 is not out yet, Joseph Mingrone has helped me work out and test the instructions for upgrading a FreeBSD 10.3 ZFS on full disk encryption setup (bootpool + zpool) to the new GELIBoot feature, which does not require any unencrypted partitions, just the 128kb bootcode Note: Do not upgrade to FreeBSD 11.0 yet. While some images have landed on the FTP server, they do not contain the final openssl fix and are going to be recreated. Currently, GELIBoot does not support key files, so the first step is to reencrypt the master key with only a passphrase. Next, to avoid GELIBoot picking up encrypted partitions that it does not support, or partitions you do not want decrypted at boot, only partitions with the GELIBoot flag are decrypted, so set the flag on your root partition Then, move the loader, kernel, and other files into /boot on the root filesystem, instead of them living on the bootpool. This allows the kernel to be versioned with boot environments, and is the main purpose of this work Then, install the newer gptzfsboot, as this is required to support GELIBoot The old 2gb bootpool partition is then purposely mislabeled as freebsd-vinum, so it is not picked up by the boot blocks. Later, if the upgrade is successful, this partition can be deleted, and used as addition swap or something In order to boot correctly, you want all boot environments to have the ‘canmount' ZFS property set to ‘noauto' Thank you to Joseph for taking the time to prod me for the information required to write this up, and for testing it and finding all of the issues *** Interview - Michael Shirk - mshirk@daemon-security.com (mailto:mshirk@daemon-security.com) / @shirkdog (https://twitter.com/shirkdog) Running Bro on BSD *** News Roundup FreeBSD based distro for virtual hosting platform and appliance (https://clonos.tekroutine.com/) An interesting new FreeBSD-based project as shown up online, called “ClonOS”, which bills itself as a “free open-source FreeBSD-based platform for virtual environments creation and management” It looks to be leveraging an impressive list of technologies, including Bhyve, Xen, Jails and CBSD / Puppet for management tasks. Among its list of features: ZFS features support; VM cloning, export, import Ethernet SoftSwitch for separated networking jails for lightweight container VNC terminal for VM/containers Templates for VM/containers Configuration management/helpers Multi-node operation Multi-Node? Color me intrigued! Right now it appears to be under heavy development, but we'll reach out to the developer to see if we can get an interview lined up at some point! The Raspberry PI Platform and The Challenges of Developing FreeBSD (https://bsdmag.org/oleksandr_rybalko/) BSDMag recently did an interview with FreeBSD developer Olesandr Rybalko! Oleksandr lives in the Ukraine, and while you may not have heard of him, he has worked on some cool projects for FreeBSD including the new “vt” console driver (Which a lot of people are using now), and ARM/MIPS support. The interview covers some of the work he's done to get the PI support working with FreeBSD: I think, my main help here was a USB OTG driver, which I wrote before for another device (Ralink RT3052), then port it to R-Pi. But it was rewritten by Hans Peter Selasky. I do not know so much about USB as Hans knows. Another useful part of my help is Xorg support. I did a simple Xorg video driver which uses framebuffer exported by virtual terminal subsystem. That is help to many guys to start use RPi as a simple desktop system. He was also asked the question “Why would FreeBSD be good fit for ARM?” FreeBSD is very powerful as a network server. All modern network features in one box, with very fast processing. Another good side of FreeBSD is modularity. It is not required to write code to use some driver that was already written for another system, you can just define it in configuration files (kernel config, kernel hints, FDT). So if you want build a nice, R-Pi based, home server – use FreeBSD. If you want to play with devices attached to R-Pi's GPIO – use FreeBSD. He also discusses his work on the ZRouter project, which is a very light-weight platform for tiny routers / embedded devices. But lastly the RPI comes up again, specifically asking him how interested individuals can get involved. Specifically the wiki.freebsd.org is a great reference point for those intested in getting started with FreeBSD on embedded. The warm community is also a plus! Trying out the FreeBSD powered TrueOS (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=TrueOS-First-Spin) The folks over at Phoronix have done an early look at the new TrueOS desktop images and given some of their thoughts. First up he gives props to the installer, noting that: The TrueOS desktop installer is basically the same as from the PC-BSD days, just re-branded. Still one of the easiest BSD graphical installers I've dealt with and makes it a breeze for setting up a FreeBSD-on-ZFS system by default. After that they took it for a minimal spin, and thing mostly seem to be working. He mentions some of the default apps (Such as qupzilla and trojita) aren't their favorite, but Lumina has come quite a ways for 1.0, despite a few rough edges still. (We are in the process of changing those default e-mail / browser apps) Lastly the article mentions that it's time to do a more full BSD round-up to see the state of installation of them, which we happen to have next! Trying out 8 BSDs on a modern PC (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=trying-8-bsds&num=1) First up was TrueOS again, which no major changes there, easy install and done. From there he tries out DragonFlyBSD, which he mentions that while the installer isn't as easy, it is still one of his favorite BSD's, working with all the hardware they've thrown at it. Next up was GhostBSD, which also has an Easy-To-Use graphical installer similar to TrueOS that made it quick to get loaded and up to the Mate desktop. Also tested was FreeBSD 11.0-RC2, which he mentions was easy to installed, and once done then ‘pkg' could be used to easily get the setup he wanted setup. Turning over to page two we get to the naughty list of BSD's he had troubles with. First up was OpenBSD which he tried 6.0. After installation and first boot, the display kept ‘disappearing' which meant he couldn't get IP information to try SSH'ing into the box. Perhaps a display driver error? NetBSD 7 was up next, where the installer couldn't get past a root device prompt. Most likely trouble finding the install media, which was the same story with MightnightBSD as well. Also tested was “PacBSD” (Formerly ArchBSD) which he did manage to get installed, but not after major fighting with the process. After the process he ran into some issues getting packages up and running, but mentions it may have been bad timing due to them moving to a new server at the time. *** IllumOS imports a modified FreeBSD boot loader to replace grub 0.97 (https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182181/2016/09/sort/time_rev/page/1/entry/0:1/20160923124232:B7978ED4-81AC-11E6-A6DA-02E3F010038B/) Toomas Soome's work to port the FreeBSD boot loader to IllumOS has been merged into illumos-gate, the upstream repository for all IllumOS distributions Toomas' work has also resulted in a number of commits to FreeBSD, and code sharing in both directions Toomas helped me a lot with the building of the ZFS boot environment listing menu, even though on IllumOS they use a configuration file to list the BEs, rather than interrogating the live zpool like we do in FreeBSD Toomas' work to improve msdosfs and the block cache to speed up booting IllumOS also greatly helped FreeBSD This work means IllumOS can now boot from a RAID-Z (the old grub they used could not), and if the work Toomas has done on FreeBSD is any indication, support for almost all other zpool features is also on the way This work also sets IllumOS on a path to eventually having UEFI boot as well It is good to see this work happening, FreeBSD technology being reused elsewhere, but also the improvements being made for IllumOS are coming back to FreeBSD, often landing upstream first, to make merging them into IllumOS easier. The mailing list post describes how to convert existing systems away from grub, as well as how to opt to remain on grub for a while longer. Grub 0.97 is expected to be removed from IllumOS within a year. *** Beastie Bits A demo of booting CentOS and Windows 10 in FreeBSD Bhyve through VNC headless (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YQQfXqtyaA) This year's anemic output (http://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/2762) “PAM Mastery” ebook now out (http://blather.michaelwlucas.com/archives/2771) How-to Install OpenBSD 6.0 plus XFCE desktop and basic applications (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC5D9fenQBs) *** Feedback/Questions Piotr - LibreBoot (http://pastebin.com/yniniNpV) Alan - FreeBSD and PC-BSD (http://pastebin.com/dCNX0yF7) Eduardo - Newcomers (http://pastebin.com/LndNeAYb) Greg - ZFS ACL's (http://pastebin.com/F0y6L6NK) Brian - Laptop Recs (http://pastebin.com/sqMPJGMM) ***

This week on the show, we will be talking to FreeBSD developer and former core-team member John Baldwin about a variety of topics, including running a DevSummit, everything you needed or wanted to know. Coming up right now on BSDNow, the place to B...SD. This episode was brought to you by Headlines FreeBSD server retired after almost 19 years (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/01/14/server_retired_after_18_years_and_ten_months_beat_that_readers/) We've heard stories about this kind of thing before, that box that often sits under-appreciated, but refuses to die. Well the UK register has picked up on a story of a FreeBSD server finally being retired after almost 19 years of dedicated service. “In its day, it was a reasonable machine - 200MHz Pentium, 32MB RAM, 4GB SCSI-2 drive,” Ross writes. “And up until recently, it was doing its job fine.” Of late, however the “hard drive finally started throwing errors, it was time to retire it before it gave up the ghost!” The drive's a Seagate, for those of you looking to avoid drives that can't deliver more than 19 years of error-free operations. This system in particular had been running FreeBSD 2.2.1 over the years. Why not upgrade you ask? Ross has an answer for that: “It was heavily firewalled and only very specific services were visible to anyone, and most only visible to our directly connected customers,” Ross told Vulture South. “By the time it was probably due for a review, things had moved so far that all the original code was so tightly bound to the operating system itself, that later versions of the OS would have (and ultimately, did) require substantial rework. While it was running and not showing any signs of stress, it was simply expedient to leave sleeping dogs lie.” All in all, an amazing story of the longevity of a system and its operating system. Do you have a server with a similar or even greater uptime? Let us know so we can try and top this story. *** Roundup of all the BSDs (https://www.linuxvoice.com/group-test-bsd-distros/) The magazine LinuxVoice recently did a group test of a variety of “BSD Distros”. Included in their review were Free/Open/Net/Dragon/Ghost/PC It starts with a pretty good overview of BSD in general, its starts and the various projects / forks that spawned from it, such as FreeNAS / Junos / Playstation / PFSense / etc The review starts with a look at OpenBSD, and the consensus reached is that it is good, but does require a bit more manual work to run as a desktop. (Most of the review focuses on desktop usage). It ends up with a solid ⅘ stars though. Next it moves into GhostBSD, discusses it being a “Live” distro, which can optionally be installed to disk. It loses a few points for lacking a graphical package management utility, and some bugs during the installation, but still earns a respectable ⅗ stars. Dragonfly gets the next spin and gets praise for its very-up to date video driver support and availability of the HAMMER filesystem. It also lands at ⅗ stars, partly due to the reviewer having to use the command-line for management. (Notice a trend here?) NetBSD is up next, and gets special mention for being one of the only “distros” that doesn't do frequent releases. However that doesn't mean you can't have updated packages, since the review mentions pkgsrc and pkg as both available to customize your desktop. The reviewer was slightly haunted by having to edit files in /etc by hand to do wireless, but still gives NetBSD a ⅗ overall. Last up are FreeBSD and PC-BSD, which get a different sort of head-to-head review. FreeBSD goes first, with mention that the text-install is fairly straight-forward and most configuration will require being done by hand. However the reviewer must be getting use to the command-line at this point, because he mentions: “This might sound cumbersome, but is actually pretty straightforward and at the end produces a finely tuned aerodynamic system that does exactly what you want it to do and nothing else.” He does mention that FreeBSD is the ultimate DIY system, even to the point of not having the package management tools provided out of box. PC-BSD ultimately gets a lot of love in this review, again with it being focused on desktop usage this follows. Particularly popular are all the various tools written to make PC-BSD easier to use, such as Life-Preserver, Warden, the graphical installer and more. (slight mistake though, Life-Preserver does not use rsync to backup to FreeNAS, it does ZFS replication) In the end he rates FreeBSD ⅘ and PC-BSD a whopping 5/5 for this roundup. While reviews may be subjective to the particular use-case being evaluated for, it is still nice to see BSD getting some press and more interest from the Linux community in general. *** OpenBSD Laptops (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/post/openbsd-laptops) Our buddy Ted Unangst has posted a nice “planning ahead” guide for those thinking of new laptops for 2016 and the upcoming OpenBSD 5.9 He starts by giving us a status update on several of the key driver components that will be in 5.9 release“5.9 will be the first release to support the graphics on Broadwell CPUs. This is anything that looks like i5-5xxx. There are a few minor quirks, but generally it works well. There's no support for the new Skylake models, however. They'll probably work with the VESA driver but minus suspend/resume/acceleration (just as 5.8 did with Broadwell).” He then goes on to mention that the IWM driver works well with most of the revisions (7260, 7265, and 3160) that ship with broadwell based laptops, however the newer skylake series ships with the 8260, which is NOT yet supported. He then goes on to list some of the more common makes and models to look for, starting with the broadwell based X1 carbons which work really well (Kris gives +++), but make sure its not the newer skylake model just yet. The macbook gets a mention, but probably should be avoided due to broadcom wifi The Dell XPS he mentions as a good choice for a powerful (portable) desktops *** Significant changes from NetBSD 7.0 to 8.0 (https://www.netbsd.org/changes/changes-8.0.html) Updated to GCC 4.8.5 Imported dhcpcd and replaced rtsol and rtsold gpt(8) utility gained the ability to resize partitions and disks, as well as change the type of a partition OpenSSH 7.1 and OpenSSL 1.0.1q FTP client got support for SNI for https Imported dtrace from FreeBSD Add syscall support Add lockstat support *** Interview - John Baldwin - jhb@freebsd.org (mailto:jhb@freebsd.org) / @BSDHokie (https://twitter.com/BSDHokie) FreeBSD Kernel Debugging News Roundup Dragonfly Mail Agent spreads to FreeBSD and NetBSD (https://www.dragonflydigest.com/2016/01/18/17508.html) DMA, the Dragonfly Mail Agent is now available not only in Dragonfly's dports, but also FreeBSD ports, and NetBSD pkgsrc “dma is a small Mail Transport Agent (MTA), designed for home and office use. It accepts mails from locally installed Mail User Agents (MUA) and delivers the mails either locally or to a remote destination. Remote delivery includes several features like TLS/SSL support and SMTP authentication. dma is not intended as a replacement for real, big MTAs like sendmail(8) or postfix(1). Consequently, dma does not listen on port 25 for incoming connections.” There was a project looking at importing DMA into the FreeBSD base system to replace sendmail, I wonder of the port signals that some of the blockers have been fixed *** ZFS UEFI Support has landed! (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=294068) Originally started by Eric McCorkle Picked up by Steven Hartland Including modularizing the existing UFS boot code, and adding ZFS boot code General improvements to the EFI loader including using more of libstand instead of containing its own implementations of many common functions Thanks to work by Toomas Soome, there is now a Beastie Menu as part of the EFI loader, similar to the regular loader As soon as this was committed, I added a few lines to it to connect the ZFS BE Menu to it, thanks to all of the above, without whom my work wouldn't be usable It should be relatively easy to hook my GELI boot stuff in as a module, and possibly just stack the UFS and ZFS modules on top of it I might try to redesign the non-EFI boot code to use a similar design instead of what I have now *** How three BSD OSes compare to ten Linux Distros (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=3bsd-10linux) After benchmarking 10 of the latest Linux distros, Phoronix took to benchmarking 3 of the big BSDs DragonFlyBSD 4.4.1 - The latest DragonFly release with GCC 5.2.1 and the HAMMER file-system. OpenBSD 5.8 - OpenBSD 5.8 with GCC 4.2.1 as the default compiler and FFS file-system. PC-BSD 10.2 - Derived off FreeBSD 10.2, the defaults were the Clang 3.4.1 compiler and ZFS file-system. In the SQLite test, PCBSD+ZFS won out over all of the Linux distros, including those that were also using ZFS In the first compile benchmark, PCBSD came second only to Intel's Linux distro, Clear Linux. OpenBSD can last, although it is not clear if the benchmark was just comparing the system compiler, which would be unfair to OpenBSD In Disk transaction performance, against ZFS won the day, with PCBSD edging out the Linux distros. OpenBSD's older ffs was hurt by the lack of soft updates, and DragonFly's Hammer did not perform well. Although in an fsync() heavy test, safety is more important that speed As with all benchmarks, these obviously need to be taken with a grain of salt In some of them you can clearly see that the ‘winner' has a much higher standard error, suggesting that the numbers are quite variable *** OPNSense 15.7.24 Released (https://opnsense.org/opnsense-15-7-24-released/) We are just barely into the new year and OPNSense has dropped a new release on us to play with. This new version, 15.7.24 brings a bunch of notable changes, which includes improvements to the firewall UI and a plugin management section of the firmware page. Additionally better signature verification using PKG's internal verification mechanisms was added for kernel and world updates. The announcement contains the full rundown of changes, including the suricata, openvpn and ntp got package bumps as well. *** Beastie Bits A FreeBSD 10 Desktop How-to (https://cooltrainer.org/a-freebsd-desktop-howto/) (A bit old, but still one of the most complete walkthroughs of a desktop FreeBSD setup from scratch) BSD and Scale 14 (http://fossforce.com/2016/01/bsd-ready-scale-14x/) Xen support enabled in OpenBSD -current (http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20160114113445&mode=expanded) Feedback/Questions Matt - Zil Sizes (http://slexy.org/view/s20a0mLaAv) Drin - IPSEC (http://slexy.org/view/s21qpiTF8h) John - ZFS + UEFI (http://slexy.org/view/s2HCq0r0aD) Jake - ZFS Cluster SAN (http://slexy.org/view/s2VORfyqlS) Phillip - Media Server (http://slexy.org/view/s20ycRhUkM) ***

This week, we take a look at two pc assembly tools: pcpartpicker.com, and the phoronix-test-suite. Plus, we get all fractal on your ass with xaos, and round out the show with 3 really good deals. www.bestlinuxgames.com Oh and to see skookie's build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/skookiesprite/builds/#view=b4LD4D

Michael Larabel joins us to discuss his initiative of daily automated performance benchmarking of some of the world's most important open source projects & reflects on 11 years of running Phoronix.com. Plus our first take on Fedora 22 & how we resolved some rough edges, the best new options for new users that require Microsoft Office under Linux & more!
