BRANCHES revision 1.232 1 # $NetBSD: BRANCHES,v 1.232 2007/12/14 15:02:02 yamt Exp $
2 #
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.
32 # Notes: Various other info, perhaps explanation of special tags,
33 # who-may-commit policies, etc.

35 # There are four sections to this file:
36 # Release branches
37 # Individual developers' branches (Active/Dormant)
38 # Individual developers' branches (Terminated), and
39 # other
40 #
41 # Entries within each section should be alphabetized.

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.

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-xeni386

293 End Date:
294 Base Tag: gmcgarry_ctxsw_base
295 Maintainer: Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry (a] NetBSD.org>
296 Scope: kernel
297 Notes: Removing knowledge of the scheduler and its run queues
298 from the machine-dependent context switch code is the
299 first step in cleaning up the scheduler. It is necessary
300 for the newlock branch, making the scheduler SMP friendly,
301 adding real-time scheduler extensions, and reducing the
302 number of code paths for LWP and proc switching.

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440 Notes: No longer active due to the lack of time.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

487 Notes: This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
488 This branch is intended to stage improvements for the
489 Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements
490 include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
491 reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also
492 eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being
493 able to pthread_kill() running threads.

516 - Replace simplelocks with mutexes.
517 - Make file system framework MP safe.
518
519 Status by architecture:
520
521 alpha partial: need pmap/trap locking changes
522 i386 done
523 amd64 done
524 mips done
525 sparc
526 sparc64
527 arm
528 powerpc partial: need pmap/trap locking changes
529 hppa done
530 sh3 done
531 vax partial: need pmap/trap locking changes
532 m68k
533 xen partial
534
535 Remaining MI work to do:
536
537 - Document locking around fields in struct mount.
538
539 - Check aliased vnode handling. There may be problems.
540
541 - Check layered file systems, LFS.
542
543 Remaining problems:
544
545 - tmpfs_rmdir occasionally leaks tmpfs_nodes.
546
547 - UVM_FLAG_TRYLOCK is not sufficient in uvm_km.c because
548 allocations will fail too often. It's needed for !kmem_map
549 because sometimes allocations are made by threads that
550 hold the map locked, which could cause other threads to
551 wait long term even if they are trying to make a NOWAIT
552 allocation.
553
554 - ext2fs dup alloc.
555
556 - Unmount erroneously reports busy sometimes. Why?
557
558 - usl_detachtimeout warning occasionally.

594 Branch: reinoud-bufcleanup
595 Description: implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
596 Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
597 a)
598 1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
599 2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
600 and provide some private context.
601 3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
602 like pending action counting, custom context passing,
603 last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
604 etc.
605 4. investigate the use of the kcont()
606 continuation-passing framework for async io
607 completion notification for bufs
608 ...
609 b)
610 1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
611 device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
612 2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
613 3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
614 by IOCTL interface?
615 4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
616 even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
617 ...

679 to see of membar_enter() is required here.
680
681 - Talk to ad@ -- figure out of non-atomic
682 mutex / rwlock release is actually safe.
683
684 arm - Consider using a RAS technique like
685 MIPS uses for _lock_cas() and the mutex
686 stubs. Possibly do more than one atomic
687 op as a RAS. Possibly implement mutex
688 stubs using the technique.
689
690 m68k - Need to do 68010 support.
691
692 i386 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
693 so we can test ncpus.

696 atomic ops themselves (hopefully not!)

1223 Maintainer: Bill Studenmund <wrstuden (a] NetBSD.org>
1224 Scope: kernel
1225 Notes: No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
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.
1236
1237 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.

1273 How to adapt a port?
1274
1275 - unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
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.
