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

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
246 Description: Simtec Hydra support and ARM SMP in general
247 Status: Dormant
248 Start Date: 18 Oct 2002
249 End Date:
250 Base Tag: bjh21-hydra-base
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
258 Description: Rework arm interrupt handling code
259 Status: Active
260 Start Date: 11 Aug 2007

263 Maintainer: Chris Gilbert <chris (a] NetBSD.org>
264 Scope: sys/arch/arm sys/arch/cats (other arm archs to follow)
265 Notes: Rework arm interrupt code to provide a shared set of interrupt
266 routines, and allow improvements to be shared across all arm
267 based hardware.

279 Branch: gmcgarry_ctxsw
280 Description: Separate scheduler from context-switch code
281 Status: Dormant
282 Start Date: 18 December 2002
283 End Date:
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.

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455 Notes: No longer active due to the lack of time.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

502 Notes: This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
503 This branch is intended to stage improvements for the
504 Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements
505 include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
506 reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also
507 eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being
508 able to pthread_kill() running threads.

527 Branch: yamt-lazymbuf
528 Description: implement and evaluate lazy mapping of mbuf external data pages
529 also, change the way to share mbuf external storage.
530 it's intended as the first step of larger changes.
531 1. support operations (esp. bus_dma load) on
532 unmapped mbuf.
533 2. unify mbuf and buf.
534 (or, at least some parts of them)

548
549 Branch: reinoud-bufcleanup
550 Description: implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
551 Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
552 a)
553 1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
554 2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
555 and provide some private context.
556 3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
557 like pending action counting, custom context passing,
558 last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
559 etc.
560 4. investigate the use of the kcont()
561 continuation-passing framework for async io
562 completion notification for bufs
563 ...
564 b)
565 1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by

632
633 - Audit MUTEX_CAS() and RWLOCK_CAS() uses
634 to see of membar_enter() is required here.
635
636 - Talk to ad@ -- figure out of non-atomic
637 mutex / rwlock release is actually safe.
638
639 arm - Consider using a RAS technique like
640 MIPS uses for _lock_cas() and the mutex
641 stubs. Possibly do more than one atomic
642 op as a RAS. Possibly implement mutex
643 stubs using the technique.
644
645 m68k - Need to do 68010 support.
646
647 i386 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
648 so we can test ncpus.
649
650 powerpc - Figure out if we need barriers in the
651 atomic ops themselves (hopefully not!)
652
653 x86_64 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
654 so we can test ncpus.

1234 Base tag: wrstuden-devbsize-base
1235 Maintainer: Bill Studenmund <wrstuden (a] NetBSD.org>
1236 Scope: kernel
1237 Notes: No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
1238 of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
1239 file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
1240 in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
1241 pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
1242 a mapping going on between the VM system and the
1243 underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
1244 to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
1245 Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
1246 with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
1247 deal.
1248
1249 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.

1285 How to adapt a port?
1286
1287 - unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
1288 a single cpu_switchto. see cpu_switchto.9.
1289
1290 - implement cpu_idle. see cpu_idle.9.
1291
1292 - add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
1293 handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
1294 as soon as possible." eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
1295 send an IPI to the target cpu.
1296
1297 - "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
1298 use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead. curlwp is
1299 almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
1300
1301 - remove idle pcbs.
1302
1303 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
1304
1305 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
1306 secondary processors.
1307
1308 - (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
1309 curlwp.
1310
1311 - of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
