      3 # This file contains a list of branches that exist in the NetBSD CVS
      4 # tree and their current state.
      5 #
      6 # This list is necessarily incomplete.
      7 # 
      8 # Within reason, developers may create branch and version tags at any
      9 # time for any purpose.  To avoid name collisions, private tags should
     10 # have names which begin with the developer's NetBSD login name
     11 # followed by a - or _ character (e.g., thorpej_scsipi,
     12 # thorpej-signal)
     13 # 
     14 # Any branch or version tag not listed here should be assumed to be
     15 # private to the developer who created it.  It is inappropriate for
     16 # anyone other than that developer to commit, move tags, or otherwise
     17 # modify the contents of the branch.
     18 #
     19 # Please update this file when a new branch is ready for consumption
     20 # by folks other than the maintainer, or when the use or status of an
     21 # existing branch changes significantly.
     22 #
     23 # Format:
     24 #   Branch:	  name of branch
     25 #   Description:  Purpose and intention of the branch
     26 #   Status:	  Active/Terminated/Dormant
     27 #   Start Date:	  date first instantiated
     28 #   End Date:	  date it was Terminated/made_Dormant, if any
     29 #   Base Tag:	  netbsd-1-5-base, etc.
     30 #   Maintainer:	  Somebody to blame.
     31 #   Scope:	  Portion of the tree covered.

    211 Branch:		ad-audiomp
    212 Description:	Add MP locking to the audio drivers
    213 Status:		Active
    214 Start Date:	28 Febuary 2007
    215 End Date:
    216 Base Tag:	ad-audiomp-base
    217 Maintainer:	Andrew Doran <ad (a] NetBSD.org>
    218 Scope:		kernel
    219 Notes:		Making the audio drivers MP safe is necessary before efforts
    220 		can be made to make the VM system MP safe. About 1/2 of the
    221 		drivers are converted, the remaining 1/2 need more changes.
    222 
    223 		As of import this is snapshot of work in progress and so
    224 		may not compile; in particular the midi changes are very
    225 		much "in progress". The audio component has been tested
    226 		and verified to work with emuxki and auvia. There may
    227 		be a locking issue in the ac97 code at boot.
    228 
    229 		The are two locks per device instance, an ISR lock and
    230 		a character device lock. The ISR lock replaces calls to
    231 		splaudio()/splx(), and will be held across calls to device
    232 		methods which were called at splaudio() before (e.g.
    233 		trigger_output). The character device lock is held across
    234 		calls to nearly all of the methods, excluding some only
    235 		used for initializtion, e.g. get_locks. This needs to be
    236 		documented at merge time.
    237 
    238 		To test on a multi way x86 system, search for "mpsafe" in
    239 		x86/x86/intr.c and change IPL_SCHED to IPL_AUDIO. Run a job
    240 		that will acquire the ISR lock (depends on the hardware, but
    241 		"while true; do mixerctl -a > /dev/null; done" may suffice).
    242 		Play audio, run lockstat and verify that that there is
    243 		contention on the ISR lock.

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

    269 Branch:		gmcgarry_ctxsw

    274 Base Tag:	gmcgarry_ctxsw_base
    275 Maintainer:	Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry (a] NetBSD.org>
    276 Scope:		kernel
    277 Notes:		Removing knowledge of the schedular and its run queues
    278 		from the machine-dependent context switch code is the
    279 		first step in cleaning up the scheduler.  It is necessary
    280 		for the newlock branch, making the scheduler SMP friendly,
    281 		adding real-time scheduler extensions, and reducing the
    282 		number of code paths for LWP and proc switching.

    443 Scope:		src/sys/arch
    444 Notes:		This branch is for a general cleanup of all OEA-based PowerPC
    445 		ports. OEA (Operating Environment Architecture) PowerPC refers
    446 		to the 601, 603, 604, and similar chips.  Specifically, not the
    447 		403/401 and other embedded chips. The general concept is to get
    448 		them all compiling, and sharing as much code as possible.  All
    449 		developers are welcome to commit to this branch.

    457 Maintainer:	Rui Paulo <rpaulo (a] NetBSD.org>
    458 Scope:		src/sys
    459 Notes:		No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to
    460 		continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains
    461 		the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed
    462 		in the tech-net mailing list).
    463 		I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb
    464 		locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not
    465 		yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about
    466 		kernel fine-grained locking).
    467 		To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant
    468 		inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names,

    471 		Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't
    472 		work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build
    473 		were not committed because they were incomplete and generated
    474 		panics.
    475 		You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because

    506 Notes:		This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
    507 		This branch is intended to stage improvements for the
    508 		Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements
    509 		include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
    510 		reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also
    511 		eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being
    512 		able to pthread_kill() running threads.

    519 Base Tag:	vmlocking-base
    520 Maintainer:	Andrew Doran <ad (a] NetBSD.org>
    521 Scope:		kernel
    522 Notes:
    523 		- Replace all simplelocks with mutexes
    524 		- Remove spinlockmgr
    525 		- Make memory allocators MP safe
    526 		- Make trap handling MP safe: push kernel lock acquire
    527 		  back into pager ops.
    528 
    529 		Only i386 is currently update.  Most per architecture
    530 		changes need to be made in the pmap module.  LFS is not
    531 		currently stable due interaction between the pagedaemon (?)
    532 		and the HOLDRELE() in lfs_segment.c.  It may trash your
    533 		filesystem..
    534 
    535 		Most of the locks replaced are now sleep/adaptive locks or
    536 		spin locks at IPL_VM.  Assuming audio interrupt handlers
    537 		are made MP safe there are far fewer potential deadlocks
    538 		against the kernel lock.
    539 
    540 		v_interlock becomes an adaptive mutex so now acquring
    541 		it can potentially block, similarly for other locks
    542 		that were before simplelocks.  This needs to be audited
    543 		carefully.
    544 
    545 		Use vnodes in general needs to be audited, as vnodes can
    546 		now be inspected without the kernel lock held.
    547 
    548 		Acquiring locks in the pmap module can now block, meaning
    549 		that the current pmap, cpu or lazy pmap status can change
    550 		out from underneath the requestor.  This also needs to be
    551 		audited.
    552 
    553 		Currently, i386 has the necessary modifications, and has
    554 		trap handling and a few calls to allocators out from under
    555 		the kernel lock.  There are still problems that need to be
    556 		debugged.
    557 
    558 		Need to check that whenever a lock is initialized, it is
    559 		also destroyed.
    560 
    561 		Lots of testing required.

    567 			1. support operations (esp. bus_dma load) on
    568 			   unmapped mbuf.
    569 			2. unify mbuf and buf.
    570 			   (or, at least some parts of them)

    586 Description:	implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
    587 		Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
    588 		a)
    589 			1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
    590 			2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
    591 			   and provide some private context.
    592 			3. extend the bio_ops with commenly used functionality
    593 			   like pending action counting, custom context passing,
    594 			   last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
    595 			   etc.
    596 			4. investigate the use of the kcont()
    597 			   continuation-passing framework for async io
    598 			   completion notification for bufs
    599 			...
    600 		b)
    601 			1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
    602 			   device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
    603 			2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signalling
    604 			3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
    605 			   by IOCTL interface?
    606 			4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
    607 			   even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
    608 			...

   1152 Scope:		kernel
   1153 Notes:		No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
   1154 		of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
   1155 		file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
   1156 		in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
   1157 		pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
   1158 		a mapping going on between the VM system and the
   1159 		underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
   1160 		to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
   1161 		Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
   1162 		with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
   1163 		deal.

   1201 		How to adapt a port?
   1202 
   1203 		- unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
   1204 		  a single cpu_switchto.  see cpu_switchto.9.
   1205 
   1206 		- implement cpu_idle.  see cpu_idle.9.
   1207 
   1208 		- add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
   1209 		  handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
   1210 		  as soon as possible."  eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
   1211 		  send an IPI to the target cpu.
   1212 
   1213 		- "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
   1214 		  use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead.  curlwp is
   1215 		  almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
   1216 
   1217 		- remove idle pcbs.
   1218 
   1219 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
   1220 
   1221 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
   1222 		  secondary processors.
   1223 
   1224 		- (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
   1225 		  curlwp.
   1226 
   1227 		- of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
