(To disable malloc debugging, run ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf.) +20090408: + Do not use Giant for kbdmux(4) locking. This is wrong and + apparently causing more problems than it solves. This will + re-open the issue where interrupt handlers may race with + kbdmux(4) in polling mode. Typical symptoms include (but + not limited to) duplicated and/or missing characters when + low level console functions (such as gets) are used while + interrupts are enabled (for example geli password prompt, + mountroot prompt etc.). Disabling kbdmux(4) may help. + 20090407: The size of structs vnet_net, vnet_inet and vnet_ipfw has changed; kernel modules referencing any of the above need to be recompiled. |
