+=== Linux compatibility layer update
+
+Contact: Dmitry Chagin <dchagin@FreeBSD.org>
+
+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].
+
+Preserving of an fpu xsave state across signal delivery on amd64 is implemented.
+Thats made possible to run modern golang with preemptive scheduler on.
+
+The new facility to specify an alternate ABI root path was added to the namei().
+Previously, to dynamically reroot lookups, every Linux syscall where path names translation
+is needed required a bit of ugly code and used kern_alternate_path() which does not properly
+resolved symlinks with leading '/' in the target.
+For now a non-native ABI (i.e., Linux) uses one call to pwd_altroot() during exec-time into
+that ABI to specify it's root directory (e.g., /compat/ubuntu) and forget about path names
+translation. Thats made possible to chroot into the Ubuntu compat without having to fix such
+symlinks by hand.
+
+In total, over 10 bugs were fixed; glibc-2.37 tests suite reports less than 70 failed tests.
