      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

    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
    258 Description:	Rework arm interrupt handling code
    259 Status:		Active

    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.

    450 Start Date:	Wed Feb 01 2006
    451 End Date:	
    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.

    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)

    536 			   i/o coalescing, etc.

    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
    566 			   device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
    567 			2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
    568 			3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
    569 			   by IOCTL interface?
    570 			4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
    571 			   even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
    572 			...

   1045 
   1046 		Not guaranteed to compile against mainline since -current

   1049 
   1050 		Please get explicit permission from the maintainer 
   1051 		before each commit, or your changes will be backed out.

   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.

   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.
