      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 #

    211 Branch:		ad-audiomp
    212 Description:	Add MP locking to the audio drivers
    213 Status:		Active
    214 Start Date:	28 February 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 initialization, 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.

    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.

    279 Branch:		gmcgarry_ctxsw

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

    427 Base Tag:	rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb-base
    428 Maintainer:	Rui Paulo <rpaulo (a] NetBSD.org>
    429 Scope:		src/sys
    430 Notes:		No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to
    431 		continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains
    432 		the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed
    433 		in the tech-net mailing list).
    434 		I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb
    435 		locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not
    436 		yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about
    437 		kernel fine-grained locking).
    438 		To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant
    439 		inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names,
    440 		structure names, structure fields according to the new
    441 		layout (in6pcb is gone).
    442 		Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't
    443 		work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build
    444 		were not committed because they were incomplete and generated
    445 		panics.
    446 		You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because
    447 		they did most of them by now.
    448 		After the work is done, you are required to test the branch
    449 		(before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test.

    477 Notes:		This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
    478 		This branch is intended to stage improvements for the
    479 		Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements
    480 		include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
    481 		reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also
    482 		eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being
    483 		able to pthread_kill() running threads.

    525 		Remaining MI work to do:
    526 
    527 		- Document locking around fields in struct mount.
    528 
    529 		- Check aliased vnode handling. There may be problems.
    530 
    531 		- Check layered file systems, LFS.
    532 
    533 		Remaining problems:
    534 
    535 		- tmpfs_rmdir occasionally leaks tmpfs_nodes.
    536 
    537 		- UVM_FLAG_TRYLOCK is not sufficient in uvm_km.c because
    538 		  allocations will fail too often. It's needed for !kmem_map
    539 		  because sometimes allocations are made by threads that
    540 		  hold the map locked, which could cause other threads to
    541 		  wait long term even if they are trying to make a NOWAIT
    542 		  allocation.
    543 
    544 		- ext2fs dup alloc.
    545 
    546 		- Unmount erroneously reports busy sometimes. Why?
    547 
    548 		- usl_detachtimeout warning occasionally.

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

   1226 		of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
   1227 		file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
   1228 		in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
   1229 		pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
   1230 		a mapping going on between the VM system and the
   1231 		underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
   1232 		to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
   1233 		Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
   1234 		with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
   1235 		deal.

   1276 		  a single cpu_switchto.  see cpu_switchto.9.
   1277 
   1278 		- implement cpu_idle.  see cpu_idle.9.
   1279 
   1280 		- add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
   1281 		  handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
   1282 		  as soon as possible."  eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
   1283 		  send an IPI to the target cpu.
   1284 
   1285 		- "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
   1286 		  use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead.  curlwp is
   1287 		  almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
   1288 
   1289 		- remove idle pcbs.
   1290 
   1291 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
   1292 
   1293 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
   1294 		  secondary processors.
   1295 
   1296 		- (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
   1297 		  curlwp.
   1298 
   1299 		- of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
