Currently enabled only for QEMU to work around an emulation bug, may eventually become the default for improved safety. sparc64: Enhanced support for sensors on Sun Ultra 25/45 and Sun Fire V215/V245, including front panel temperatures, fan speeds, and disk presence indicators. LEDs on Sun Fire machines can now be controlled via sysctl. sparc64: Added support for the i2c controller found in Pyro-based machines (e.g. Sun Ultra 45, Sun Fire V245). sparc64: Added support for the real-time clock used in the Sun Ultra 45. sun68k: Fixed booting from SCSI disks with certain PROM revisions.

ffs: Fixed an uvm_fault occurring during snapshot dump/restore. ipfilter: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference leading to potential DoS while parsing ICMP6 packets. uvm: Fixed a race condition in the page daemon. vfs: Limit snapshot-related vflushbuf: dirty: vnode [...] console spew under heavy load. acpibat(4): Added support for battery monitoring on the Microsoft Surface Go 3. hdaudio(4): Apply access checks to configuration operations on /dev/hdaudioX. mpii(4): Fixed stability of Symbios Logic SAS3008 RAID controllers. raid(4): Fixed an incorrect assertion during reconstruction. virtio(4): Improve documentation. wdc(4): Avoid a three-second delay during boot with PCI IDE controllers. compat_linux(8): Fixed an edge-case panic in Linux’s copy_file_range system call.

build.sh: Fixed building certain legacy GPLv2 GNU tools with modern compilers; used for GCC compiler bootstrapping. build.sh: Fixed building with MKBINUTILS=no set. libXfont2: Updated to 2.0.9, fixes CVE-2026-44950 and CVE-2026-59679. ld.elf_so(1): Fixed incorrect thread-local storage alignment assertions with DEBUG enabled. wgetscrreg(3): Added a manual page. syslogd(8): Fixed buffering of incomplete lines from /dev/klog.
