      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.

    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.

    245 Branch:		bjh21-hydra

    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

    290 Description:	Separate scheduler from context-switch code
    291 Status:		Dormant

    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.

    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 commonly 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 signaling
    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 			...

    972 Scope:		Kernel
    973 Notes:		The goal is to replace the existing lockmgr() and
    974 		simple_lock() based locking mechanisms with the
    975 		primitives found in Solaris: mutexes and rwlocks.
    976 		Superseded by the newlock2 branch.

    987 		the original branch has lain dormant, a new one has been
    988 		created.  Goals:
    989 		- Implement new locking primitives on most-used ports.
    990 		- Minor locking improvements.
    991 		- Remove spinlockmgr().

   1027 		developers are welcome to commit to this branch.

   1216 Notes:		No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
   1217 		of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
   1218 		file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
   1219 		in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
   1220 		pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
   1221 		a mapping going on between the VM system and the
   1222 		underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
   1223 		to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
   1224 		Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
   1225 		with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
   1226 		deal.

   1264 		How to adapt a port?
   1265 
   1266 		- unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
   1267 		  a single cpu_switchto.  see cpu_switchto.9.
   1268 
   1269 		- implement cpu_idle.  see cpu_idle.9.
   1270 
   1271 		- add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
   1272 		  handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
   1273 		  as soon as possible."  eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
   1274 		  send an IPI to the target cpu.
   1275 
   1276 		- "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
   1277 		  use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead.  curlwp is
   1278 		  almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
   1279 
   1280 		- remove idle pcbs.
   1281 
   1282 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
   1283 
   1284 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
   1285 		  secondary processors.
   1286 
   1287 		- (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
   1288 		  curlwp.
   1289 
   1290 		- of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
