28: ## Features to finish/implement
29:
30: * IPF/PF deprecation in favour of NPF
31: - TODO: docs, what features to add to NPF ...
32: * ATA/NCQ
33: - ~~variants of [[!template id=pr number=48214]] "clearing WDCTL_RST failed" during boot~~ (done, waiting for confirmation)
34: - ~~[[!template id=pr number=52783]] parallel fsck hangs during boot of 8.99.[5678]~~ (done)
35: - ~~[[!template id=pr number=52614]] qemu virtual CD-ROM reports read errors since recent wdc changes~~ (done)
36: - [[!template id=pr number=53183]] System stops servicing I/O requests and eventually deadlocks
37: * UBC using direct map working on amd64 and possibly alpha, aarch64
38: - [[!template id=pr number=53124]] (FFS is slow because pmap_update doesn't scale)
39: - all known issues fixed - confirmed working on amd64 and alpha
40: - patch for aarch64 being tested
41: * XEN AVX working
42: - ~~[[!template id=pr number=50332]] AVX instructions don't work but OSXSAVE flag is set~~ (done)
43: * ZFS
44: * ~~~kASan for amd64~~~ (done)
45: * ~~~kASan for aarch64~~~ (done)
46: * compiler-rt in the base with enabled features for Clang/LLVM
47: * LVM mirror target
48: * ~~~add NVMM~~~ (done)
49: * ~~~plug kernel pointer leaks~~~ (done)
50: * ~~~fix Nouveau, some GPUs stopped working after the update~~~ (done)
51:
52: ## Nice to have
53:
54: * gcc 8+ from a sanitizers point of view
55: * ~~~arm: GENERIC kernel config for armv7 boards.~~~ (done)
56: * ~~~arm64: Support for servers following SBSA/SBBR standards~~~ (done)
57: * ~~~updated graphics drivers~~~ (done)
58: * PVHVM and PVH
59: * ~~~ARM64 ACPI~~~ (done)
60: * WireGuard
61: * expand x86 intr masks to allow up to 64 interrupts per CPU and hence 48 MSI/MSI-X on cpu0

64: ## Nice to have, but likely won't be finished on time
65:
66: * merge pgoyette-compat
67: * address failing ptrace(2) tests, cover the remaining scenarios (there are planned ~2k ATF tests total for the elementary functionality)
68: * rework semantics of threading operations in ptrace(2)

72: ## Release notes (top)
73:
74: * Support for Aarch64 (ARM 64-bit) machines.
75: The aarch64 port should work on many Allwinner machines, SBSA/SBBR compatible servers.
76: It supports multiple processors, including in a big.LITTLE configuration, ACPI and UEFI.
77: It uses a single kernel to support a large amount of boards with the help of ACPI+UEFI or FDT.
78: * Updated graphical acceleration support from Linux 4.4.
79: Intel graphics including Kaby Lake. Nouveau and radeon.
80: * nvmm(4) - hardware-accelerated virtualization, currently supporting x86-SVM.
81: a patched QEMU package exists that utilizes this.
82: XXX make statement reflect reality at the time of the release.
83: * KASLR - kernel address stack randomization.
84: Note that the default kernel does not use this option.
85: XXX maybe link for how to use it, then.
86: * kASAN - kernel address sanitizer build option, to detect memory access violations, for x86 and aarch64.
87: * kUBSAN - kernel undefined behaviour sanitizer.
88: <!-- XXX kamil please list more things about micro-UBsan, MKLIBCSANITIZER, etc. -->
89: * KLEAK - detects kernel memory leaks.
90: * bwfm(4) - Broadcom Full-MAC wireless driver at PCI and USB (from OpenBSD)
91: * ena(4) - Amazon.com Elastic Network Adapter (from FreeBSD)
92: * GCC leak sanitizer support
93:
94: ARM hardware support:
95: * Support for running on Amazon AWS ARM instances.
96: * Support for nVidia Tegra X1 SoCs
97: * Support for Pine64 SoCs, including pinebook
98: <!-- XXX list more? -->

106: * Network ATM protocol code and related drivers (midway(4))
107: * Remote NDIS API compatibility (for running unmodified older Windows drivers)
108: * SVR4 binary compatibility code
109: * VM86
110: * IPKDB (remote debugger)
111: * NetOctave NSP2000 security accelerator, n8(4)
