Introduction

This is a draft of the October–December 2015 status report. Please check back after it is finalized, and an announcement email is sent to the &os;-Announce mailing list.

This report covers &os;-related projects between October and December 2015. This is the last of four reports planned for 2015.

The fourth quarter of 2015 was another productive quarter for the &os; project and community. [...]

Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work!

The deadline for submissions covering the period from January to March 2016 is April 7, 2016.

LKL ("Linux Kernel as a Library") is a special "architecture" of the full Linux kernel that builds as a userspace library on various platforms, including &os;. One application of such a library is using Linux's filesystem drivers to implement a FUSE backend.

fusefs-lkl's lklfuse binary is such a FUSE filesystem. It can mount ext4/3/2, XFS, and BTRFS read-write, using the native drivers from Linux.

The sysutils/fusefs-lkl port may now be installed from packages or ports, providing access to these filesystems on &os; via FUSE.

 Style(9) enhanced to allow C99 'bool' Bruce Evans brde@optusnet.com.au Conrad Meyer cem@FreeBSD.org Bruce's email requesting bool be added to style(9) Differential Revision for the change

Use of bool is now allowed. It was allowed previously, as well, but now it's really allowed. Party like it's 1999!

EMC / Isilon Storage Division

Specify style(9)'s opinion on iso646.h.

Fix intmax_t to be 128-bit on platforms where __int128_t is used.

This quarter, support was added for fixed-width sysctls + (signed and unsigned 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit + integers). The new KPIs are documented in the sysctl(9) manual + page. The sysctl(8) command line tool supports all of the new + types.

+ +

Sysctl(8) gained the '-t' flag, which prints sysctl type + information (the original patch was submitted by Yoshihiro Ota). + This support includes the newly added fixed-width types.
