      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 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
    255 		nathanw_sa branch difficult.
    256 
    257 Branch:		chris-arm-intr-rework

    284 Base Tag:	gmcgarry_ctxsw_base
    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.

    438 Start Date:	Wed Feb 01 2006
    439 End Date:	
    440 Base Tag:	rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb-base
    441 Maintainer:	Rui Paulo <rpaulo (a] NetBSD.org>
    442 Scope:		src/sys
    443 Notes:		No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to
    444 		continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains
    445 		the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed
    446 		in the tech-net mailing list).
    447 		I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb
    448 		locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not
    449 		yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about
    450 		kernel fine-grained locking).
    451 		To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant
    452 		inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names,
    453 		structure names, structure fields according to the new
    454 		layout (in6pcb is gone).
    455 		Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't
    456 		work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build
    457 		were not committed because they were incomplete and generated
    458 		panics.
    459 		You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because
    460 		they did most of them by now.
    461 		After the work is done, you are required to test the branch
    462 		(before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test.

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

    515 Branch:		yamt-lazymbuf
    516 Description:	implement and evaluate lazy mapping of mbuf external data pages
    517 		also, change the way to share mbuf external storage.
    518 		it's intended as the first step of larger changes.
    519 			1. support operations (esp. bus_dma load) on
    520 			   unmapped mbuf.
    521 			2. unify mbuf and buf.
    522 			   (or, at least some parts of them)

    524 			   i/o coalescing, etc.

    537 Branch:		reinoud-bufcleanup
    538 Description:	implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
    539 		Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
    540 		a)
    541 			1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
    542 			2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
    543 			   and provide some private context.
    544 			3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
    545 			   like pending action counting, custom context passing,
    546 			   last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
    547 			   etc.
    548 			4. investigate the use of the kcont()
    549 			   continuation-passing framework for async io
    550 			   completion notification for bufs
    551 			...
    552 		b)
    553 			1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
    554 			   device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
    555 			2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
    556 			3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
    557 			   by IOCTL interface?
    558 			4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
    559 			   even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
    560 			...

   1034 		Not guaranteed to compile against mainline since -current

   1037 
   1038 		Please get explicit permission from the maintainer 
   1039 		before each commit, or your changes will be backed out.

   1044 		Note that this branch uses a DIFFERENT scheme for

   1048 		probably do it wrong; instead, ask the maintainer to

   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.

   1273 		How to adapt a port?
   1274

   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.
