BRANCHES revision 1.242
1#	$NetBSD: BRANCHES,v 1.242 2008/02/21 20:35:50 mjf 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.

35# There are four sections to this file:

211Branch:		ad-audiomp
212Description:	Add MP locking to the audio drivers
213Status:		Active
214Start Date:	28 February 2007
215End Date:
216Base Tag:	ad-audiomp-base
217Maintainer:	Andrew Doran <ad@NetBSD.org>
218Scope:		kernel
219Notes:		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.

245Branch:		bjh21-hydra

251Maintainer:	Ben Harris <bjh21@NetBSD.org>
252Scope:		sys/arch/arm sys/arch/acorn32
253Notes:		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
257Branch:		chris-arm-intr-rework

279Branch:		gmcgarry_ctxsw
280Description:	Separate scheduler from context-switch code
281Status:		Dormant

283End Date:
284Base Tag:	gmcgarry_ctxsw_base
285Maintainer:	Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry@NetBSD.org>
286Scope:		kernel
287Notes:		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.

452Base Tag:	rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb-base
453Maintainer:	Rui Paulo <rpaulo@NetBSD.org>
454Scope:		src/sys
455Notes:		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.

502Notes:		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.

549Branch:		reinoud-bufcleanup
550Description:	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			...

1090		written:
1091
1092			* R2000/R3000 (cache_r3k) -- light testing,
1093			  needs to be beat on a lot more to make
1094			  sure it's working.
1095

1105			  has committed fixes to this code.
1106
1107			  Confirmed working on R4600 v2 (SGI IP-22 with
1108			  no SysAD L2 cache).
1109
1110			  Confirmed working on RM5260 (Algorithmics P-5064).
1111
1112			* TX39 (cache_tx39) -- uch@NetBSD.org has
1113			  committed fixes to this code.  Awaiting
1114			  confirmation that it is working properly.
1115
1116			* R5900 (cache_r5900) -- uch@NetBSD.org has
1117			  written this code and tested it on a
1118			  PlayStation 2.
1119
1120		The following ports have been updated to compile (and

1247Base tag:	wrstuden-devbsize-base
1248Maintainer:	Bill Studenmund <wrstuden@NetBSD.org>
1249Scope:		kernel
1250Notes:		No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
1251		of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
1252		file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
1253		in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
1254		pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
1255		a mapping going on between the VM system and the
1256		underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
1257		to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
1258		Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
1259		with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
1260		deal.
1261
1262		Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.

1298		How to adapt a port?
1299
1300		- unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
1301		  a single cpu_switchto.  see cpu_switchto.9.
1302
1303		- implement cpu_idle.  see cpu_idle.9.
1304
1305		- add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
1306		  handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
1307		  as soon as possible."  eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
1308		  send an IPI to the target cpu.
1309
1310		- "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
1311		  use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead.  curlwp is
1312		  almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
1313
1314		- remove idle pcbs.
1315
1316		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
1317
1318		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
1319		  secondary processors.
1320
1321		- (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
1322		  curlwp.
1323
1324		- of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
