<p>Noteworthy developments regarding FreeBSD/sparc64 since the last
|
||||
Status Reports are:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Cas(4), a driver for Sun Cassini/Cassini+, as well as
|
||||
National Semiconductor DP83065 Saturn Gigabit NICs has been
|
||||
committed and thus will be part of FreeBSD beginning with
|
||||
8.0-RELEASE and 7.3-RELEASE, respectively. This means that
|
||||
the on-board NICs found in Fire V440, as well as the add-on
|
||||
cards based on these chips are now supported, including on
|
||||
non-sparc64 machines. Unfortunately, it triggers, what
|
||||
seem to be secondary problems with the on-board NICs found in
|
||||
B100 blades and Fire V480, which due to lack of access to such
|
||||
systems could not be fixed so far.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Initial support for sun4u machines based on the "Fire"
|
||||
Host-PCI-Express bridge like Fire V215, V245, etc. has been
|
||||
completed (including support for the on-board ATA controller,
|
||||
which caused several problems at first, and MSI/MSI-X). Some
|
||||
code like the quirk handling for the ALi/ULi chips found in
|
||||
these machines needs to be revisited though and no stability
|
||||
tests have been conducted so far. If all goes well, the code
|
||||
will hit HEAD some time after FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE has been
|
||||
released. In theory, machines based on the "Oberon"
|
||||
Host-PCI-Express bridge, at least for the most part, should
|
||||
also be supported with these changes, but due to lack of access
|
||||
to a Mx000 series machine the code could not be tested with
|
||||
these so far.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Some bugs in the snd_t4dwave(4) driver have been fixed, as
|
||||
well as some special handling for sparc64 has been added so
|
||||
it does 32-bit DMA and now generally works with the on-board
|
||||
ALi M5451 found for example in Blade 100 and Blade 1500.
|
||||
Unfortunately, it was only tested to work correctly in two out
|
||||
of three Blade 100. Why it still does not work correctly in
|
||||
the remaining one is currently unknown but at least no longer
|
||||
causes IOMMU-panics so testing snd_t4dwave(4) on sparc64 is no
|
||||
longer harmful. These changes will be part of
|
||||
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE and 7.3-RELEASE.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>Ata-marvell(4) has been fixed to work on sparc64 (actually
|
||||
also on anything that is not x86 with less than 4GB of RAM).
|
||||
These fixes will be part of FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE and
|
||||
7.3-RELEASE.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>A proper and machine-independent fix for the old problem
|
||||
that the loader leaves the NIC opened by the firmware,
|
||||
which could lead to panics during boot when netbooting,
|
||||
has been developped but not committed yet.</li>

|
||||
<p>During Google Summer of Code 2008, I have implemented native support
|
||||
for NFSv4 ACLs for both ZFS and UFS. Most of the code has already been
|
||||
merged to CURRENT. NFSv4 ACLs are unconditionally enabled in ZFS and
|
||||
the usual tools, like getfacl(1) and setfacl(1) can be used to view and
|
||||
change them. I plan to merge remaining bits (UFS support) this month.
|
||||
It should be possible to MFC it in order to ship in
|
||||
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE.</p>

<p>2009 was The FreeBSD Project's fifth year of participation
|
||||
in the Google Summer of Code. We had a total of 17 successful projects.
|
||||
Some GSoC code will be shipping with FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE and others
|
||||
will be integrated into future releases.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The FreeBSD GSoC admin team would like to thank Google and
|
||||
our students and mentors of another great year!</p>

<p>This work's purpose is a generic and flexible framework for systems
|
||||
equipped with Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) units, often found on
|
||||
embedded telecom chips. The framework is designed to support various
|
||||
controllers and many types of TDM channels e.g. voiceband, sound and
|
||||
miscellaneous data channels. Currently, voiceband infrastructure is
|
||||
being developed on Marvell RD-88F6281 reference board. It will serve
|
||||
as an example of how to use the TDM framework for other channel types.
|
||||
The direct objective of using TDM with voiceband channels is bringing
|
||||
a FreeBSD based VoIP system, capable of bridging analog telephone world
|
||||
with digital IP telephony. Together with third party VoIP software
|
||||
(e.g. Asterisk), the design can serve as VoIP Private Branch Exchange
|
||||
(PBX).</p>

<p>The Release Engineering Team continues to work on FreeBSD
|
||||
8.0-RELEASE. Public testing has turned up quite a few problems,
|
||||
many related to the low-level network (routing/ARP table) changes
|
||||
and their interactions with IPv6.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Progress continues to be made on fixing up the issues that have
|
||||
been identified during the public testing. At this point in time
|
||||
we are shooting for two more public test builds (RC2 and RC3)
|
||||
followed by the release late October or early November.</p>
