• Removed legacy TCP stack support which was deprecated in 2.4
• Tracing subsystem overhaul including expansion for tracing points and added support for Percepio Tracealyzer
• Device runtime power management (PM), former IDLE runtime, was completely overhauled.
• Added an example standalone Zephyr application in its own Git repository:
  https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/example-application

The following sections provide detailed lists of changes by component.

The following CVEs are addressed by this release:

More detailed information can be found in:
https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/security/vulnerabilities.html

• CVE-2021-3581: Under embargo until 2021-09-04

Known issues

You can check all currently known issues by listing them using the GitHub
interface and listing all issues with the bug label <https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug>_.

API Changes

• Driver APIs now return -ENOSYS if optional functions are not implemented. If the feature is not supported by the hardware -ENOTSUP will be returned. Formerly -ENOTSUP was returned for both failure modes, meaning this change may require existing code that tests only for that value to be changed.

• The wait_for_usb_dfu function now accepts a k_timeout_t argument instead of using the CONFIG_USB_DFU_WAIT_DELAY_MS macro.

• Added disconnect reason to the disconnected callback of :c:struct:bt_iso_chan_ops.

• Align error handling of bt_l2cap_chan_send and bt_iso_chan_send so when an error occur the buffer is not unref.

• Added lwm2m_engine_delete_obj_inst function to the LwM2M library API.

Deprecated in this release

• DT_CLOCKS_LABEL_BY_IDX, DT_CLOCKS_LABEL_BY_NAME, DT_CLOCKS_LABEL, DT_INST_CLOCKS_LABEL_BY_IDX, DT_INST_CLOCKS_LABEL_BY_NAME, and DT_INST_CLOCKS_LABEL was deprecated in favor of utilizing DT_CLOCKS_CTLR and variants.

• DT_PWMS_LABEL_BY_IDX, DT_PWMS_LABEL_BY_NAME, DT_PWMS_LABEL, DT_INST_PWMS_LABEL_BY_IDX, DT_INST_PWMS_LABEL_BY_NAME, and DT_INST_PWMS_LABEL was deprecated in favor of utilizing DT_PWMS_CTLR and variants.

• DT_IO_CHANNELS_LABEL_BY_IDX, DT_IO_CHANNELS_LABEL_BY_NAME, DT_IO_CHANNELS_LABEL, DT_INST_IO_CHANNELS_LABEL_BY_IDX, DT_INST_IO_CHANNELS_LABEL_BY_NAME, and DT_INST_IO_CHANNELS_LABEL were deprecated in favor of utilizing DT_IO_CHANNELS_CTLR and variants.

• DT_DMAS_LABEL_BY_IDX, DT_DMAS_LABEL_BY_NAME, DT_INST_DMAS_LABEL_BY_IDX, and DT_INST_DMAS_LABEL_BY_NAME were deprecated in favor of utilizing DT_DMAS_CTLR and variants.

• USB HID specific macros in <include/usb/class/usb_hid.h> are deprecated in favor of new common HID macros defined in <include/usb/class/hid.h>.

• USB HID Kconfig option USB_HID_PROTOCOL_CODE is deprecated. USB_HID_PROTOCOL_CODE does not allow to set boot protocol code for specific HID device. USB HID API function usb_hid_set_proto_code() can be used instead.

• USB HID class API is changed by removing get_protocol/set_protocol and get_idle/set_idle callbacks. These callbacks are redundant or do not provide any additional value and have led to incorrect usage of HID class API.

• The CONFIG_OPENOCD_SUPPORT Kconfig option has been deprecated in favor of CONFIG_DEBUG_THREAD_INFO.

• Disk API header <include/disk/disk_access.h> is deprecated in favor of <include/storage/disk_access.h>.

• flash_write_protection_set().

• The CONFIG_NET_CONTEXT_TIMESTAMP is removed as it was only able to work with transmitted data. The same functionality can be achieved by setting CONFIG_NET_PKT_RXTIME_STATS and CONFIG_NET_PKT_TXTIME_STATS options. These options are also able to calculate the RX & TX times more accurately. This means that support for the SO_TIMESTAMPING socket option is also removed as it was used by the removed config option.

• The device power management (PM) APIs and data structures have been renamed from device_pm_* to pm_device_* since they are not device APIs but PM subsystem APIs. The same applies to enumerations and definitions, they now follow the PM_DEVICE_* convention. Some other API calls such as device_set_power_state and device_get_power_state have been renamed to pm_device_state_set and pm_device_state_get in order to align with the naming of other device PM APIs.

• The runtime device power management (PM) APIs is now synchronous by default and the asynchronous API has the _async sufix. This change aligns the API with the convention used in Zephyr. The affected APIs are pm_device_put and pm_device_get.

• The following functions, macros, and structures related to the kernel work queue API:

  • k_work_pending() replace with k_work_is_pending()
  • k_work_q_start() replace with k_work_queue_start()
  • :c:struct:k_delayed_work replace with :c:struct:k_work_delayable
  • k_delayed_work_init() replace with k_work_init_delayable
  • k_delayed_work_submit_to_queue() replace with k_work_schedule_for_queue() or k_work_reschedule_for_queue()
  • k_delayed_work_submit() replace with k_work_schedule() or k_work_reschedule()
  • k_delayed_work_pending() replace with k_work_delayable_is_pending()
  • k_delayed_work_cancel() replace with k_work_cancel_delayable()
  • k_delayed_work_remaining_get() replace with k_work_delayable_remaining_get()
  • k_delayed_work_expires_ticks() replace with k_work_delayable_expires_get()
  • k_delayed_work_remaining_ticks() replace with k_work_delayable_remaining_get()
  • K_DELAYED_WORK_DEFINE replace with K_WORK_DELAYABLE_DEFINE

Removed APIs in this release

• Removed support for the old zephyr integer typedefs (u8_t, u16_t, etc...).

• Removed support for k_mem_domain_destroy and k_mem_domain_remove_thread

• Removed support for counter_read and counter_get_max_relative_alarm

• Removed support for device_list_get

Stable API changes in this release

• Kernel

  • Added k_mem_unmap() so anonymous memory mapped via k_mem_map() can be unmapped and virtual address reclaimed.

  • Extended the pagetable generation script to allow specifying additional memory mapping during build.

  • x86-32

    • Added support for kernel image to reside in virtual address space, allowing code execution and data manipulation via virtual addresses.

Bluetooth

• Audio

  • Split up ISO handling from audio handling, and moved the latter to its own directory.
  • Added the Volume Offset Control Service and client.
  • Added the Audio Input Control Service and client.
  • Added the Volume Control Service and client.

• Host

  • Added basic support for Direction Finding.

  • Implemented the directory listing object to OTS.
  • Added a function to access the bt_conn_iso object.
  • Added a new configuration option for writeable device name.
  • Added a new configuration option for minimum encryption key size.
  • Added support for keypress notifications as an SMP responder.

API Changes

• Removed SETTINGS_USE_BASE64 support as its been deprecated for more than
  two releases.

• The :c:func:lwm2m_rd_client_start function now accepts an additional
  flags parameter, which allows to configure current LwM2M client session,
  for instance enable bootstrap procedure in the curent session.

• LwM2M execute now supports arguments. The execute callback
  lwm2m_engine_execute_cb_t is extended with an args parameter which points
  to the CoAP payload that comprises the arguments, and an args_len parameter
  to indicate the length of the args data.

• Changed vcnl4040 dts binding default for property 'proximity-trigger'.
  Changed the default to match the HW POR state for this property.

• The :c:func:clock_control_async_on function will now take callback and
  user_data as arguments instead of structure which contained list node,
  callback and user data.

• The :c:func:mqtt_keepalive_time_left function now returns -1 if keep alive
  messages are disabled by setting CONFIG_MQTT_KEEPALIVE to 0.

• The CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMEOUT_API mode has been removed. All kernel
  timeout usage must use the new-style k_timeout_t type and not the
  legacy/deprecated millisecond counts.

• The :c:func:coap_pending_init function now accepts an additional retries
  parameter, allowing to specify the maximum retransmission count of the
  confirmable message.

• The CONFIG_BT_CTLR_CODED_PHY is now disabled by default for builds
  combining both Bluetooth host and controller.

• The :c:func:coap_packet_append_payload function will now take a pointer to a
  constant buffer as the payload argument instead of a pointer to a writable
  buffer.

• The :c:func:coap_packet_init function will now take a pointer to a constant
  buffer as the token argument instead of a pointer to a writable buffer.

• A new :ref:regulator_api API has been added to support controlling power
  sources. Regulators can also be associated with devicetree nodes, allowing
  drivers to ensure the device they access has been powered up. For simple
  GPIO-only regulators a devicetree property supply-gpios is defined as a
  standard way to identify the control signal in nodes that support power
  control.

• :c:type:fs_tile_t objects must now be initialized by calling
  :c:func:fs_file_t_init before their first use.

• :c:type:fs_dir_t objects must now be initialized by calling
  :c:func:fs_dir_t_init before their first use.

Deprecated in this release

• Nordic nRF5340 PDK board deprecated and planned to be removed in 2.6.0.

• ARM Musca-A board and SoC support deprecated and planned to be removed in 2.6.0.

• DEVICE_INIT was deprecated in favor of utilizing DEVICE_DEFINE directly.

• DEVICE_AND_API_INIT was deprecated in favor of DEVICE_DT_INST_DEFINE and
  DEVICE_DEFINE.

• Bluetooth

  • Deprecated the :c:func:bt_set_id_addr function, use :c:func:bt_id_create
    before calling :c:func:bt_enable instead. When CONFIG_PRIVACY is
    enabled a valid IRK has to be supplied by the application for this case.

Removed APIs in this release

• Bluetooth

  • The deprecated BT_LE_SCAN_FILTER_DUPLICATE define has been removed,
    use BT_LE_SCAN_OPT_FILTER_DUPLICATE instead.
  • The deprecated BT_LE_SCAN_FILTER_WHITELIST define has been removed,
    use BT_LE_SCAN_OPT_FILTER_WHITELIST instead.
  • The deprecated bt_le_scan_param::filter_dup argument has been removed,
    use bt_le_scan_param::options instead.
  • The deprecated bt_conn_create_le() function has been removed,
    use bt_conn_le_create() instead.
  • The deprecated bt_conn_create_auto_le() function has been removed,
    use bt_conn_le_create_auto() instead.
  • The deprecated bt_conn_create_slave_le() function has been removed,
    use bt_le_adv_start() instead with bt_le_adv_param::peer set to the remote
    peers address.
  • The deprecated BT_LE_ADV_* macros have been removed,
    use the BT_GAP_ADV_* enums instead.
  • The deprecated bt_conn_security function has been removed,
    use bt_conn_set_security instead.
  • The deprecated BT_SECURITY_* defines NONE, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, FIPS have been
    removed, use the L0, L1, L2, L3, L4 defines instead.
  • The deprecated BT_HCI_ERR_AUTHENTICATION_FAIL define has been removed,
    use BT_HCI_ERR_AUTH_FAIL instead.

• Kernel

  • The deprecated k_mem_pool API has been removed entirely (for the
    past release it was backed by a k_heap, but maintained a
    compatible API). Now all instantiated heaps must be
    sys_heap/k_heaps. Note that the new-style heap is a general
    purpose allocator and does not make the same promises about block
    alignment/splitting. Applications with such requirements should
    look at porting their logic, or perhaps at the k_mem_slab utility.

Stable API changes in this release

Kernel

• Added support for per thread runtime statistics

• Added new synchronization mechanisms using Condition Variables

• Thread Local Storage (TLS)

  • Introduced thread local storage support for the following architectures:

    • ARC
    • Arm Cortex-M
    • Arm Cortex-R
    • AArch64
    • RISC-V
    • Sparc
    • x86 and x86_64
    • Xtensa

  • This allows variables declared with __thread keyword to be allocated
    on a per-thread basis, and every thread has its own copy of these
    variables.

  • Enable via :option:CONFIG_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE.

  • errno can be stored inside TLS if :option:CONFIG_ERRNO_IN_TLS
    is enabled (together with :option:CONFIG_ERRNO). This allow user
    threads to access the value of errno without making a system call.

• Memory Management

  • Added page frame management for physical memory to keep track of
    the status of each page frame.
  • Added :c:func:k_mem_map which allows applications to increase
    the data space available via anonymous memory mappings.
  • Added :c:func:k_mem_free_get which returns the amount of
    physical anonymous memory remaining.
  • Paging structure must now be pre-allocated so that there is no need
    to do memory allocations when mapping memory. Because of this,
    :c:func:arch_mem_map may no longer fail.

• Demand Paging

  • Introduced the framework for demand paging and infrastructure for
    custom eviction algorithms and implementation of backing stores.
  • Currently the whole kernel is pinned and remaining physical memory
    can be used for paging.

Architectures

• ARC

  • Fixed execution on ARC HS with one interrupt bank and fast interrupts (FIRQ)
    enabled
  • Hardened SMP support
  • Improved mdb west runner to support simulation on SMP nSIM-based
    configurations
  • Improved mdb west runner to support nSIM-based configurations execution
    on real HW (FPGA-based)
  • Added documentation page with Zephyr support status on ARC processor
  • Added coverage support for nSIM-based configurations
  • Switched to upstream OpenOCD for ARC
  • Various minor fixes/improvements for ARC MWDT toolchain infrastructure

• ARM

  • AARCH32

    • Introduced the functionality for chain-loadable Zephyr
      firmware images to force the initialization of internal
      architecture state during early system boot (Cortex-M).
    • Changed the default Floating Point Services mode to
      Shared FP registers mode.
    • Enhanced Cortex-M Shared FP register mode by implementing
      dynamic lazy FP register stacking in threads.
    • Added preliminary support for Cortex-R7 variant.
    • Fixed inline assembly code in Cortex-M system calls.
    • Enhanced and fixed Cortex-M TCS support.
    • Enabled interrupts before switching to main in single-thread
      Cortex-M builds (CONFIG_MULTITHREADING=n).
    • Fixed vector table relocation in non-XIP Cortex-M builds.
    • Fixed exception exit routine for fatal error exceptions in
      Cortex-R.
    • Fixed interrupt nesting in ARMv7-R architecture.

  • AARCH64

    • Fixed registers printing on error and beautified crash dump output
    • Removed CONFIG_SWITCH_TO_EL1 symbol. By default the execution now drops
      to EL1 at boot
    • Deprecated booting from EL2
    • Improved assembly code and errors catching in EL3 and EL1 during the
      start routine
    • Enabled support for EL0 in the page tables
    • Fixed vector table alignment
    • Introduced support to boot Zephyr in NS mode
    • Fixed alignment fault in z_bss_zero
    • Added PSCI driver
    • Added ability to generate image header
    • Improved MMU code and driver

• RISC-V

  • Added support for PMP (Physical Memory Protection).
    Integrate PMP in Zephyr allow t...
