BRANCHES revision 1.248 1 # $NetBSD: BRANCHES,v 1.248 2008/03/24 12:34:51 yamt Exp $

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
40 #
41 # Entries within each section should be alphabetized.

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.
244
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.

524 - g/c replaced code, including kmapent and malloc.
525 - consider to remove other submaps. eg. mb_map
526
527 Branch: reinoud-bufcleanup
528 Description: implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
529 Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
530 a)
531 1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
532 2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
533 and provide some private context.
534 3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
535 like pending action counting, custom context passing,
536 last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
537 etc.
538 4. investigate the use of the kcont()
539 continuation-passing framework for async io
540 completion notification for bufs
541 ...
542 b)
543 1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
544 device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
545 2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
546 3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
547 by IOCTL interface?
548 4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
549 even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
550 ...

607 TODO:
608
609 all - Need to replace mb_*() with membar_*().
610
611 - Audit MUTEX_CAS() and RWLOCK_CAS() uses
612 to see of membar_enter() is required here.
613
614 - Talk to ad@ -- figure out of non-atomic
615 mutex / rwlock release is actually safe.
616
617 arm - Consider using a RAS technique like
618 MIPS uses for _lock_cas() and the mutex
619 stubs. Possibly do more than one atomic
620 op as a RAS. Possibly implement mutex
621 stubs using the technique.
622
623 m68k - Need to do 68010 support.
624
625 i386 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
626 so we can test ncpus.
627
628 powerpc - Figure out if we need barriers in the
629 atomic ops themselves (hopefully not!)
630
631 x86_64 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
632 so we can test ncpus.

1037 Not guaranteed to compile against mainline since -current
1038 may have changed incompatibly with the last branch update;
1039 use "cvs update -D" to roll-back the rest of the tree to match.

1041 Please get explicit permission from the maintainer
1042 before each commit, or your changes will be backed out.

1047 Note that this branch uses a DIFFERENT scheme for
1048 syncing with the mainline. the maintainer uses some private
1049 scripts for keeping them in sync; if you make commits
1050 to the branch to "resynchronize" things, you'll
1051 probably do it wrong; instead, ask the maintainer to
1052 resynchronize things.

1226 Maintainer: Bill Studenmund <wrstuden (a] NetBSD.org>
1227 Scope: kernel
1228 Notes: No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
1229 of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
1230 file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
1231 in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
1232 pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
1233 a mapping going on between the VM system and the
1234 underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
1235 to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
1236 Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
1237 with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
1238 deal.
1239
1240 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.

1276 How to adapt a port?
1277
1278 - unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
1279 a single cpu_switchto. see cpu_switchto.9.
1280
1281 - implement cpu_idle. see cpu_idle.9.
1282
1283 - add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
1284 handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
1285 as soon as possible." eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
1286 send an IPI to the target cpu.
1287
1288 - "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
1289 use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead. curlwp is
1290 almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
1291
1292 - remove idle pcbs.
1293
1294 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
1295
1296 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
1297 secondary processors.
1298
1299 - (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
1300 curlwp.
1301
1302 - of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
