+ <body>
+ <p>Transparent superpage support has been added. This will allow
+ &os; to create 2MiB blocks with a single pagetable and TLB entry.
+ This has shown a small but significant improvement in the
+ buildworld time on ThunderX machines. Superpages have been
+ enabled in head with and merged to stable/11, but they are
+ disabled by default on stable/11 due to a lack of testing
+ there.</p>
+
+ <p>Support for the pre-INTRNG interrupt framework has been
+ removed. This means that arm64 requires INTRNG to even build.
+ This has allowed various cleanups within the arm64 drivers that
+ interact with the interrupt controller.</p>
+
+ <p>The cortex Strings library from Linaro has been imported. The
+ parts of this that have been shown to be improvements over the
+ previous C code were attached to the libc build.</p>
+
+ <p>There is ongoing work to add ACPI support to the kernel. On
+ ThunderX, &os; can get to the mountroot prompt, however, due to
+ incomplete ACPI tables the external PCIe support needed to support
+ the netboot setup in the test cluster is not functional.</p>
+
+ <p>Pine64 support has been committed to head. &os; can now boot
+ to multiuser with SMP enabled. This includes support for clocks,
+ the secure ID controller, USB Host controller, GPIOs, non-maskable
+ interrupts, the AXP81x power management unit, cpu freqency and
+ voltage scaling, MMC, UART, gigabit networking, the watchdog, and
+ the thermal sensors.</p>
