      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

     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.

    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.
    256 
    257 Branch:		bouyer-xenamd64

    284 Maintainer:	Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry (a] NetBSD.org>
    285 Scope:		kernel
    286 Notes:		Removing knowledge of the schedular and its run queues
    287 		from the machine-dependent context switch code is the
    288 		first step in cleaning up the scheduler.  It is necessary
    289 		for the newlock branch, making the scheduler SMP friendly,
    290 		adding real-time scheduler extensions, and reducing the
    291 		number of code paths for LWP and proc switching.

    452 Scope:		src/sys/arch
    453 Notes:		This branch is for a general cleanup of all OEA-based PowerPC
    454 		ports. OEA (Operating Environment Architecture) PowerPC refers
    455 		to the 601, 603, 604, and similar chips.  Specifically, not the
    456 		403/401 and other embedded chips. The general concept is to get
    457 		them all compiling, and sharing as much code as possible.  All
    458 		developers are welcome to commit to this branch.

    472 		I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb
    473 		locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not
    474 		yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about
    475 		kernel fine-grained locking).
    476 		To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant
    477 		inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names,
    478 		structure names, structure fileds according to the new
    479 		layout (in6pcb is gone).
    480 		Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't
    481 		work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build
    482 		were not committed because they were incomplete and generated
    483 		panics.
    484 		You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because
    485 		they did most of them by now.
    486 		After the work is done, you are required to test the branch
    487 		(before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test.

    518 		include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),

    531 Notes:		Goals:
    532 
    533 		- Make VM system / trap handling MP safe.
    534 		- Replace simplelocks with mutexes.
    535 		- Make file system framework MP safe.
    536

    552 		Remaining MD work to do:
    553 
    554 		- Defer x86 npxsave interrupts to an process context (do
    555 		  aston() and handle from trap.c).
    556 
    557 		- Port other architectures.
    558 
    559 		Remaining MI work to do:
    560 
    561 		- Clean up vfs_busy/vfs_unbusy and mount/dounmount semantics
    562 		  so that lockmgr is not being used any more. Reference
    563 		  counting on struct mount is probably the best solution.
    564 
    565 		- Check + document locking around fields in struct mount.
    566 
    567 		- Check file systems that traverse mountpoint vnode lists.
    568 		  They need to use marker vnodes. Most already done.
    569 
    570 		- Re-write the itimer code to be MP safe and work in the
    571 		  presence of threaded soft interrupts.
    572 
    573 		- Check aliased vnode handling. There may be problems.
    574 
    575 		Remaining problems:
    576 
    577 		- tmpfs_rmdir occasionally leaks tmpfs_nodes. This could be
    578 		  an old problem but either way it needs to be fixed.
    579 
    580 		- UVM_FLAG_TRYLOCK is not sufficient in uvm_km.c because
    581 		  allocations will fail too often. It's needed for !kmem_map
    582 		  because sometimes allocations are made by threads that
    583 		  hold the map locked, which could cause other threads to
    584 		  wait long term even if they are trying to make a NOWAIT
    585 		  allocation.
    586 
    587 		- ffs+snapshots needs testing.
    588 
    589 		- LFS port has been fudged and it's probably borked.
    590 
    591 		- ext2fs panic on unmount.

    597 			1. support operations (esp. bus_dma load) on
    598 			   unmapped mbuf.
    599 			2. unify mbuf and buf.

    616 Description:	implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
    617 		Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
    618 		a)
    619 			1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
    620 			2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
    621 			   and provide some private context.
    622 			3. extend the bio_ops with commenly used functionality
    623 			   like pending action counting, custom context passing,
    624 			   last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
    625 			   etc.
    626 			4. investigate the use of the kcont()
    627 			   continuation-passing framework for async io
    628 			   completion notification for bufs
    629 			...
    630 		b)
    631 			1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
    632 			   device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
    633 			2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signalling
    634 			3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
    635 			   by IOCTL interface?
    636 			4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
    637 			   even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
    638 			...

   1183 Notes:		No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
   1184 		of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
   1185 		file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
   1186 		in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
   1187 		pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
   1188 		a mapping going on between the VM system and the
   1189 		underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
   1190 		to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
   1191 		Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
   1192 		with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
   1193 		deal.

   1231 		How to adapt a port?
   1232 
   1233 		- unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
   1234 		  a single cpu_switchto.  see cpu_switchto.9.
   1235 
   1236 		- implement cpu_idle.  see cpu_idle.9.
   1237 
   1238 		- add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
   1239 		  handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
   1240 		  as soon as possible."  eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
   1241 		  send an IPI to the target cpu.
   1242 
   1243 		- "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
   1244 		  use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead.  curlwp is
   1245 		  almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
   1246 
   1247 		- remove idle pcbs.
   1248 
   1249 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
   1250 
   1251 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
   1252 		  secondary processors.
   1253 
   1254 		- (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
   1255 		  curlwp.
   1256 
   1257 		- of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
