#
# This file contains a list of branches that exist in the NetBSD CVS
# tree and their current state.
#
# This list is necessarily incomplete.
# 
# Within reason, developers may create branch and version tags at any
# time for any purpose.  To avoid name collisions, private tags should
# have names which begin with the developer's NetBSD login name
# followed by a - or _ character (e.g., thorpej_scsipi,
# thorpej-signal)
# 
# Any branch or version tag not listed here should be assumed to be
# private to the developer who created it.  It is inappropriate for
# anyone other than that developer to commit, move tags, or otherwise
# modify the contents of the branch.
#
# Please update this file when a new branch is ready for consumption
# by folks other than the maintainer, or when the use or status of an
# existing branch changes significantly.

# Individual developers' branches (Active/Dormant):
########################################################################

Branch:		ad-audiomp
Description:	Add MP locking to the audio drivers
Status:		Active
Start Date:	28 Febuary 2007
End Date:
Base Tag:	ad-audiomp-base
Maintainer:	Andrew Doran <ad@NetBSD.org>
Scope:		kernel
Notes:		Making the audio drivers MP safe is necessary before efforts
		can be made to make the VM system MP safe. About 1/2 of the
		drivers are converted, the remaining 1/2 need more changes.

		As of import this is snapshot of work in progress and so
		may not compile; in particular the midi changes are very
		much "in progress". The audio component has been tested
		and verified to work with emuxki and auvia. There may
		be a locking issue in the ac97 code at boot.

		The are two locks per device instance, an ISR lock and
		a character device lock. The ISR lock replaces calls to
		splaudio()/splx(), and will be held across calls to device
		methods which were called at splaudio() before (e.g.
		trigger_output). The character device lock is held across
		calls to nearly all of the methods, excluding some only
		used for initializtion, e.g. get_locks. This needs to be
		documented at merge time.

		To test on a multi way x86 system, search for "mpsafe" in
		x86/x86/intr.c and change IPL_SCHED to IPL_AUDIO. Run a job
		that will acquire the ISR lock (depends on the hardware, but
		"while true; do mixerctl -a > /dev/null; done" may suffice).
		Play audio, run lockstat and verify that that there is
		contention on the ISR lock.

Branch:		bjh21-hydra
Description:	Simtec Hydra support and ARM SMP in general
Status:		Dormant
Start Date:	18 Oct 2002
End Date:
Base Tag:	bjh21-hydra-base
Maintainer:	Ben Harris <bjh21@NetBSD.org>
Scope:		sys/arch/arm sys/arch/acorn32
Notes:		This code was on a branch because it involves changes to
		cpuswitch.S which would otherwise make merging the
		nathanw_sa branch difficult.

Branch:		bouyer-xenamd64
Description:	add amd64 support to Xen and rework some parts to share more code between Xen and others
Status:		Active
Start Date:	18 Oct 2007
End Date:

Branch:		chris-arm-intr-rework
Description:	Rework arm interrupt handling code

End Date:
Base Tag:	chris-arm-intr-rework-base
Maintainer:	Chris Gilbert <chrisNetBSD.org>
Scope:		sys/arch/arm sys/arch/cats (other arm archs to follow)
Notes:		Rework arm interrupt code to provide a shared set of interrupt
		routines, and allow improvements to be shared across all arm
		based hardware.

Branch:		gmcgarry_ctxsw
Description:	Separate scheduler from context-switch code
Status:		Dormant
Start Date:	18 December 2002
End Date:
Base Tag:	gmcgarry_ctxsw_base
Maintainer:	Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry@NetBSD.org>
Scope:		kernel
Notes:		Removing knowledge of the schedular and its run queues
		from the machine-dependent context switch code is the
		first step in cleaning up the scheduler.  It is necessary
		for the newlock branch, making the scheduler SMP friendly,
		adding real-time scheduler extensions, and reducing the
		number of code paths for LWP and proc switching.

Branch:		rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb
Description:	merge in6pcb with inpcb
Status:		Dormant
Start Date:	Wed Feb 01 2006
End Date:	
Base Tag:	rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb-base
Maintainer:	Rui Paulo <rpaulo@NetBSD.org>
Scope:		src/sys
Notes:		No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to
		continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains
		the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed
		in the tech-net mailing list).
		I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb
		locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not
		yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about
		kernel fine-grained locking).
		To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant
		inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names,
		structure names, structure fileds according to the new
		layout (in6pcb is gone).
		Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't
		work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build
		were not committed because they were incomplete and generated
		panics.
		You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because
		they did most of them by now.
		After the work is done, you are required to test the branch
		(before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test.

Branch:  	wrstuden-fixsa
Description:	Fix a number of issues present with Scheduler Activations.
Status: 	Active
Start Date:	15 May 2007
End Date:
Base Tag:	wrstuden-fixsa-base
Maintainer:	Bill Stouder-Studenmund <wrstuden@NetBSD.org>
Scope:		src, though all the interesting stuff is in the kernel
		or lib/libpthread or maybe gdb.
Notes:		This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
		This branch is intended to stage improvements for the
		Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements
		include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
		reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also
		eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being
		able to pthread_kill() running threads.

Branch:		vmlocking
Description:	Make VM and file system framework MP safe
Status:		Active
Start Date:	13 March 2007
End Date:
Base Tag:	vmlocking-base
Maintainer:	Andrew Doran <ad@NetBSD.org>
Scope:		kernel
Notes:		Goals:

		- Make VM system / trap handling MP safe.
		- Replace simplelocks with mutexes.
		- Make file system framework MP safe.

		Status by architecture:

		  alpha			partial: pmap.c/trap.c need work
		  i386			done
		  amd64			done
		  mips			partial: !pmax needs work
		  sparc			
		  sparc64		
		  arm			
		  macppc/powerpc	
		  hppa			
		  sh3			
		  vax			
		  m68k			

		Remaining MD work to do:

		- Defer x86 npxsave interrupts to an process context (do
		  aston() and handle from trap.c).

		- Port other architectures.

		Remaining MI work to do:

		- Clean up vfs_busy/vfs_unbusy and mount/dounmount semantics
		  so that lockmgr is not being used any more. Reference
		  counting on struct mount is probably the best solution.

		- Check + document locking around fields in struct mount.

		- Check file systems that traverse mountpoint vnode lists.
		  They need to use marker vnodes. Most already done.

		- Re-write the itimer code to be MP safe and work in the
		  presence of threaded soft interrupts.

		- Check aliased vnode handling. There may be problems.

		Remaining problems:

		- tmpfs_rmdir occasionally leaks tmpfs_nodes. This could be
		  an old problem but either way it needs to be fixed.

		- UVM_FLAG_TRYLOCK is not sufficient in uvm_km.c because
		  allocations will fail too often. It's needed for !kmem_map
		  because sometimes allocations are made by threads that
		  hold the map locked, which could cause other threads to
		  wait long term even if they are trying to make a NOWAIT
		  allocation.

		- ffs+snapshots needs testing.

		- LFS port has been fudged and it's probably borked.

		- ext2fs panic on unmount.

Branch:		yamt-lazymbuf
Description:	implement and evaluate lazy mapping of mbuf external data pages
		also, change the way to share mbuf external storage.
		it's intended as the first step of larger changes.
			1. support operations (esp. bus_dma load) on
			   unmapped mbuf.
			2. unify mbuf and buf.
			   (or, at least some parts of them)
			3. then it should be trivial to implement
			   i/o coalescing, etc.

Base Tag:	yamt-lazymbuf-base7
Maintainer:	YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@NetBSD.org>
Scope:		src/sys  (src/common is tagged but not branched)
Notes:		
		i386		DONE
		amd64		DONE
		other ports should work as the trunk does.
		(conditionalized by __HAVE_LAZY_MBUF macro)

Branch:		reinoud-bufcleanup
Description:	implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
		Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
		a)
			1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
			2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
			   and provide some private context.
			3. extend the bio_ops with commenly used functionality
			   like pending action counting, custom context passing,
			   last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
			   etc.
			4. investigate the use of the kcont()
			   continuation-passing framework for async io
			   completion notification for bufs
			...
		b)
			1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
			   device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
			2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signalling
			3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
			   by IOCTL interface?
			4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
			   even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
			...

Branch:		thorpej-atomic
Description:	Implementation of an atomic memory operations API modeled
		after the one in Solaris 10.
Status:		Active
Start Date:	Apr 11 2007
End Date:
Base tag:	thorpej-atomic-base
Maintainer:	Jason Thorpe <thorpej@netbsd.org>
Scope:		src/common

		alpha		DONE
		arm		DONE
		hppa
		i386		DONE
		ia64
		m68k		DONE (except for 68010)
		mips
		ns32k
		powerpc		DONE except for membar_*()
		powerpc64	DONE except for membar_*()
		sh3
		sparc		DONE except for membar_*()
		sparc64		DONE except for membar_*()
		vax
		x86_64		DONE

		Tested:

		alpha		NO
		arm		NO
		hppa		NO
		i386		NO
		ia64		NO
		m68k		NO
		mips		NO
		ns32k		NO
		powerpc		NO
		powerpc64	NO
		sh3		NO
		sparc		NO
		sparc64		NO
		vax		NO
		x86_64		NO

		TODO:

		all		- Need to replace mb_*() with membar_*().

				- Audit MUTEX_CAS() and RWLOCK_CAS() uses
				  to see of membar_enter() is required here.

				- Talk to ad@ -- figure out of non-atomic
				  mutex / rwlock release is actually safe.

		arm		- Consider using a RAS technique like
				  MIPS uses for _lock_cas() and the mutex
				  stubs.  Possibly do more than one atomic
				  op as a RAS.  Possibly implement mutex
				  stubs using the technique.

		m68k		- Need to do 68010 support.
		
		i386		- Need to change when x86_patch() is called
				  so we can test ncpus.

		powerpc		- Figure out if we need barriers in the
				  atomic ops themselves (hopefully not!)

		x86_64		- Need to change when x86_patch() is called
				  so we can test ncpus.

Notes:
		Code committed to the branch has booted to multiuser

		Not guaranteed to compile against mainline since -current
		may have changed incompatibly with the last branch update;
		use "cvs update -D" to roll-back the rest of the tree to match.

		Please get explicit permission from the maintainer 
		before each commit, or your changes will be backed out.
		Other tags starting with sommerfeld_ are private to 
		the developer and are guaranteed to be unstable.
		Only the maintainer should move tags.

		Note that this branch uses a DIFFERENT scheme for 
		synching with the mainline.  the maintainer uses some private
		scripts for keeping them in synch; if you make commits 
		to the branch to "resynchronize" things, you'll
		probably do it wrong; instead, ask the maintainer to
		resynchronize things.

		See sys/arch/i386/TODO on the branch for a list of known

			  needs to be beat on a lot more to make
			  sure it's working.

			* R4000/R4400 (cache_r4k) -- mhitch@NetBSD.org
			  tracked down a bug, which has been fixed.

			  Confirmed working on R4000-with-L2.

			  Confirmed working on R4400-no-L2 and
			  R4400-with-L2.

			* R4600/R5000 (cache_r5k) -- shin@NetBSD.org
			  has committed fixes to this code.

			  Confirmed working on R4600 v2 (SGI IP-22 with
			  no SysAD L2 cache).

			  Confirmed working on RM5260 (Algorithmics P-5064).

			* TX39 (cache_tx39) -- uch@NetBSD.org has
			  committed fixes to this code.  Awaiting
			  confirmation that it is working properly.

			* R5900 (cache_r5900) -- uch@NetBSD.org has
			  written this code and tested it on a
			  PlayStation 2.

		The following ports have been updated to compile (and
		use optimized-for-processor bus_dma routines).  Those
		that have been tested and work are marked with [WORKING].

			* algor		[WORKING]

			* arc		[WORKING]

			* pmax		[WORKING]

			* playstation2	[WORKING]

		different block sizes. Also DEV_BSIZE would go away.
Status:		Terminated
Start Date:	Aug or Sept 1999
End Date:	1 Apr 2000
Base tag:	wrstuden-devbsize-base
Maintainer:	Bill Studenmund <wrstuden@NetBSD.org>
Scope:		kernel
Notes:		No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
		of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
		file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
		in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
		pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
		a mapping going on between the VM system and the
		underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
		to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
		Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
		with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
		deal.

		Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.

		How to adapt a port?

		- unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
		  a single cpu_switchto.  see cpu_switchto.9.

		- implement cpu_idle.  see cpu_idle.9.

		- add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
		  handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
		  as soon as possible."  eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
		  send an IPI to the target cpu.

		- "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
		  use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead.  curlwp is
		  almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.

		- remove idle pcbs.

		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.

		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
		  secondary processors.

		- (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
		  curlwp.

		- of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
