* package: move OpenBSM auditing into its own packageLexi Winter2024-04-291-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Move auditing runtime (auditd, etc.) into the new FreeBSD-audit package. Also move the runtime OpenBSM manual pages from libbsm into auditd so they get installed with the right package. Add an UPDATING entry noting the new packages.

* libc: link libsys as a auxiliary filter libraryBrooks Davis2024-02-051-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | At runtime, when rtld loads libc it will also load libsys. For each symbol that is present in both, the libsys one will override the libc one. It continues to be the case that program need only link against libc (usually implicitly). The linkage to libsys is automatic.

* stand/lua: always allow overriding with local config filesStéphane Rochoy2024-02-021-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Loader now also read configuration files listed in local_loader_conf_files. Files listed here are the last ones read. And /boot/loader.conf.local was moved from loader_conf_files to local_loader_conf_files leaving only loader.conf and device.hints in loader_conf_files by default. The idea is to ensure local_loader_conf_files, i.e., /boot/loader.conf.local, can always be used to override other user defined settings. So the sequencing is now as follow: 1. Bootstrap: /boot/defaults/loader.conf 2. Read loader_conf_files files: /boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf 3. Read loader_conf_dirs files: /boot/loader.conf.d/*.conf 4. And finally, rread local_loader_conf_files files: /boot/loader.conf.local Reviewed by: imp, kevans Pull Request: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/pull/759

* stand: bandaide for acpiWarner Losh2023-11-211-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Old binaries do not set acpi.rsdp early enough. So when we boot with an older loader.efi from an ESP that's not been updated, we assume there's no ACPI on this system. This is unwise. Put a band-aide on this until we can implement a proper 'feature' variable that the binary reports so we can do conditionals for things like this in the future. This is at best a rapid-response stop-gap. Glanced at by: kevans Sponsored by: Netflix
* Revert "awk: Merge upstream 2nd Edition Awk Book"Warner Losh2023-11-151-5/+0

* ath(4): Remove MIPS AHB frontend and join PCI one w/ main support againMarius Strobl2023-08-081-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following the removal of general MIPS support, there's no longer a need to have the AHB bus-frontend in place, which according to Linux sources also isn't used with any non-MIPS SoCs. For simplicity, PCI bus support is only made conditional on the main one again, i. e. device ath_pci is removed, and built into the main module, i. e. if_ath_pci.ko obsoleted, respectively. Effectively, this reverts the following commits and associated changes: dba9c8597747c6c9bf3d2ec68f7eb90552878dc7 e849bb3ecbb1963344a22ae77fc96f89fbebf40c Approved by: adrian Relnotes: yes Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D41354
* amd64: Bump MAXCPU to 1024 (from 256)Ed Maste2023-08-031-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hardware with more than 256 CPU cores is currently available and will become increasingly common over FreeBSD 14's lifetime. Increase MAXCPU in the amd64 GENERIC kernel configuration to 1024. Earlier commits increased some related limits. These prerequisite commits include at least: - d7ed40243769 Increase MAX_APIC_ID safeguard to 0x800 - d1639e43c589 cpuset: increase userland maximum size to 1024 Global and allocated arrays sized by MAXCPU result in excessive bloat on systems with lower core counts. In addition, some code used u_char (8 bits) to hold a CPU index, which is not valid if MAXCPU is greater than 256. A number of recent commits addressed these sorts of issues, including at least: - 133935d26f20 pf: atomically increment state ids - 74ac712f72cf vmm: Dynamically allocate a couple of per-CPU state save areas - 78cfa762ebf2 callout: Move per-CPU callout state into the dpcpu region - 42f722e721cd amd64: store pcids pmap data in pcpu zone - 9801e7c275f6 smp_topo: dynamically allocate group array - 9fb6718d1b18 smp: Dynamically allocate the stoppcbs array - 2bb16c635249 x86: retire use of intr_bind There are some additional allocations still to be converted and more scalability work is required to make effective use of very high core count systems, but this change allows us to boot on these systems and provides a Kernel Binary Interface (KBI) for the FreeBSD 14 release that supports these configurations. Special thanks to AMD for providing hardware to test these changes.

* atkbc: Better test for old chromebooksWarner Losh2023-06-291-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Older Chromebooks have issues in their embedded controller (EC) firmware which need working around in atkbd and atkbdc. On these systems, rather than use a standard EC, Google used their own arm-based EC. For a while, its firmware incorrectly implemented the i8042, requiring workaroundsd in the driver. Implement a heuristic recommended by MrChromebox <mrchromebox@gmail.com> to detect them: If the bios.version starts with Google_, or the maker is either Google or GOOGLE, assume that it's a chromebook with the affected bios. While this isn't strictly true, the number of updated systems without the bug is very small and this will exclude all the non-Google coreboot user that use a standard EC. There's no simple way to test the hardware to see if it's implemented with the buggy EC.

* libtacplus: Allow additional AV pairs to be configured.Dag-Erling Smørgrav2023-06-131-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Replace hand-rolled input tokenizer with openpam_readlinev() which supports line continuations and has better quoting and escaping. * Simplify string handling by merging struct clnt_str and struct srvr_str into just struct tac_str. * Each server entry in the configuration file can now have up to 255 AV pairs which will be appended to the ones returned by the server in response to a successful authorization request. This allows nss_tacplus(8) to be used with servers which do not provide identity information beyond confirming the existence of the user. This adds a dependency on libpam, however libtacplus is currently only used by pam_tacplus(8) (which is already always used with libpam) and the very recently added nss_tacplus(8) (which is extremely niche). In the longer term it might be a good idea to split this out into a separate library. MFC after: 1 week Sponsored by: Klara, Inc.
