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. 34 # 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. 42 # 43 44 45 # Release branches: 46 47 Branch: comdex-fall-1999 48 Description: Special release branch for pre-1.5 release at 49 Fall 1999 COMDEX. 50 Status: Terminated 51 Start Date: 52 End Date: 53 Base Tag: comdex-fall-1999-base 54 Maintainer: ? 55 Scope: Entire tree. 56 Notes: 57 58 Branch: netbsd-0-9 59 Description: The NetBSD 0.9 release branch 60 Status: Terminated 61 Start Date: 62 End Date: 63 Base Tag: netbsd-0-9-base 64 Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng (a] NetBSD.org> 65 Scope: Entire tree. 66 Notes: Subsidiary tags of: netbsd-0-9-ALPHA, netbsd-0-9-ALPHA2, 67 netbsd-0-9-BETA, netbsd-0-9-RELEASE. 68 Commits restricted to release engineering. 69 70 Branch: netbsd-1-0 71 Description: The NetBSD 1.0 release branch 72 Status: Terminated 73 Start Date: 74 End Date: 75 Base Tag: netbsd-1-0-base 76 Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng (a] NetBSD.org> 77 Scope: Entire tree. 78 Notes: 79 Commits restricted to release engineering. 80 81 Branch: netbsd-1-1 82 Description: The NetBSD 1.1 release branch 83 Status: Terminated 84 Start Date: 85 End Date: 86 Base Tag: netbsd-1-1-base 87 Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng (a] NetBSD.org> 88 Scope: Entire tree. 89 Notes: 90 Commits restricted to release engineering. 91 92 Branch: netbsd-1-2 93 Description: The NetBSD 1.2 release branch 94 Status: Terminated 95 Start Date: 96 End Date: 97 Base Tag: netbsd-1-2-base 98 Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng (a] NetBSD.org> 99 Scope: Entire tree. 100 Notes: 101 Commits restricted to release engineering. 102 103 Branch: netbsd-1-3 104 Description: The NetBSD 1.3 release branch 105 Status: Terminated 106 Start Date: 107 End Date: 108 Base Tag: netbsd-1-3-base 109 Maintainer: Release Engineering <releng (a] NetBSD.org> 110 Scope: Entire tree. 111 Notes: 112 Commits restricted to release engineering. 113 114 Branch: netbsd-1-4 115 Description: The NetBSD 1.4 release branch 116 Status: Terminated 117 Start Date: 1 Apr 2000 118 End Date: 119 Base Tag: netbsd-1-4-base 120 Maintainer: 1.4 Release Engineering <releng-1-4 (a] NetBSD.org> 121 Scope: Entire tree. 122 Notes: 123 Commits restricted to release engineering. 124 125 Branch: netbsd-1-5 126 Description: The NetBSD 1.5 release branch 127 Status: Terminated 128 Start Date: 20 Jun 2000 129 End Date: 26 Jan 2005 130 Base Tag: netbsd-1-5-base 131 Maintainer: 1.5 Release Engineering <releng-1-5 (a] NetBSD.org> 132 Scope: Entire tree. 133 Notes: 134 Commits restricted to release engineering. 135 136 Branch: netbsd-1-6 137 Description: The NetBSD 1.6 release branch 138 Status: Terminated 139 Start Date: 22 May 2002 140 End Date: 141 Base Tag: netbsd-1-6-base 142 Maintainer: 1.6 Release Engineering <releng-1-6 (a] NetBSD.org> 143 Scope: Entire tree. 144 Notes: 145 Commits restricted to Release Engineering. 146 147 Branch: netbsd-2 148 Description: The NetBSD 2 release branch 149 Status: Terminated 150 Start Date: 23 Dec 2004 151 End Date: 152 Base Tag: netbsd-2-base 153 Maintainer: 2 Release Engineering <releng-2 (a] NetBSD.org> 154 Scope: Entire tree.

About 1/2 of the 242 drivers are converted, the remaining 1/2 need more changes. 243 244 As of import this is snapshot of work in progress and so 245 may not compile; in particular the midi changes are very 246 much "in progress". The audio component has been tested 247 and verified to work with emuxki and auvia. There may 248 be a locking issue in the ac97 code at boot. 249 250 The are two locks per device instance, an ISR lock and 251 a character device lock. The ISR lock replaces calls to 252 splaudio()/splx(), and will be held across calls to device 253 methods which were called at splaudio() before (e.g. 254 trigger_output). The character device lock is held across 255 calls to nearly all of the methods, excluding some only 256 used for initialization, e.g. get_locks. This needs to be 257 documented at merge time. 258 259 To test on a multi way x86 system, search for "mpsafe" in 260 x86/x86/intr.c and change IPL_SCHED to IPL_AUDIO. Run a job 261 that will acquire the ISR lock (depends on the hardware, but 262 "while true; do mixerctl -a > /dev/null; done" may suffice). 263 Play audio, run lockstat and verify that that there is 264 contention on the ISR lock. 265 266 Branch: ad-audiomp2 267 Description: Add MP locking to the audio drivers 268 Status: Active 269 Start Date: 7 December 2008 270 End Date: 271 Base Tag: ad-audiomp2-base 272 Maintainer: Andrew Doran <ad (a] NetBSD.org> 273 Scope: kernel 274 Notes: Ressurect ad-audiomp, make the audio drivers MP safe. 275 276 Branch: bjh21-hydra 277 Description: Simtec Hydra support and ARM SMP in general 278 Status: Dormant 279 Start Date: 18 Oct 2002 280 End Date: 281 Base Tag: bjh21-hydra-base 282 Maintainer: Ben Harris <bjh21 (a] NetBSD.org> 283 Scope: sys/arch/arm sys/arch/acorn32 284 Notes: This code was on a branch because it involves changes to 285 cpuswitch.S which would otherwise make merging the 286 nathanw_sa branch difficult. 287 288 Branch: chris-arm-intr-rework 289 Description: Rework arm interrupt handling code 290 Status: Active 291 Start Date: 11 Aug 2007 292 End Date: 293 Base Tag: chris-arm-intr-rework-base 294 Maintainer: Chris Gilbert <chris (a] NetBSD.org> 295 Scope: sys/arch/arm sys/arch/cats (other arm archs to follow) 296 Notes: Rework arm interrupt code to provide a shared set of interrupt 297 routines, and allow improvements to be shared across all arm 298 based hardware. 299 300 Branch: cube-autoconf 301 Description: Renovate autoconf(9) API 302 Status: Active 303 Start Date: 11 Dec 2007 304 End Date: 305 Base Tag: cube-autoconf-base 306 Maintainer: Quentin Garnier <cube (a] NetBSD.org> 307 Scope: kernel usr.bin/config (and some other userland bits) 308 Notes: Address a number of issues the current autoconf(9) API has. 309 310 Branch: gmcgarry_ctxsw 311 Description: Separate scheduler from context-switch code 312 Status: Dormant 313 Start Date: 18 December 2002 314 End Date: 315 Base Tag: gmcgarry_ctxsw_base 316 Maintainer: Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry (a] NetBSD.org> 317 Scope: kernel 318 Notes: Removing knowledge of the scheduler and its run queues 319 from the machine-dependent context switch code is the 320 first step in cleaning up the scheduler. It is necessary 321 for the newlock branch, making the scheduler SMP friendly, 322 adding real-time scheduler extensions, and reducing the 323 number of code paths for LWP and proc switching. 324 325 Branch: gmcgarry_ucred 326 Description: Integrate and encapsulate user credentials 327 Status: Dormant 328 Start Date: 18 December 2002 329 End Date: 330 Base Tag: gmcgarry_ucred_base 331 Maintainer: Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry (a] NetBSD.org> 332 Scope: kernel 333 Notes: merge pcred and ucred and poolify 334 335 Branch: hpcarm-cleanup 336 Description: Fix build problems for hpcarm 337 Status: Active 338 Start Date: 31 July 2007 339 End Date: 340 Base Tag: hpcarm-cleanup-base 341 Maintainer: Robert Swindells <rjs (a] NetBSD.org> 342 Scope: kernel 343 Notes: Modify SA11x0 interrupt code to match PXA2x0 equivalent. 344 345 Branch: itohy-usb1 346 Description: USB stack overhaul, mostly DMA related 347 Status: Active 348 Start Date: 22 May 2007 349 End Date: 350 Base Tag: itohy-usb1-base 351 Maintainer: ITOH Yasufumi <itohy (a] NetBSD.org> 352 Scope: kernel 353 Notes: To check out the kernel source tree, 354 1. check out checkout script 355 cvs checkout -ritohy-usb1 src/sys/dev/usb/filelist 356 2. update files in the branch 357 sh -e src/sys/dev/usb/filelist 358 359 Branch: jym-xensuspend 360 Description: Implement xm save/restore/migrate for NetBSD domU 361 Status: Active 362 Start Date: 2009-02-08 363 End Date: 364 Base Tag: jym-xensuspend-base 365 Maintainer: Jean-Yves Migeon <jym (a] NetBSD.org> 366 Scope: kernel 367 Notes: This branch contains the code required to support the Xen 368 save/restore/migrate facilities. It affects domU frontend 369 drivers (xbd, xennet, xencons, hypervisor), autoconf(9) 370 machinery, as well as MD code (mostly pmap(9)). 371 372 Branch: kame 373 Description: KAME Project 374 Status: Dormant 375 Start Date: 28 Jun 1999 376 End Date: 377 Base Tag: 378 Maintainer: Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino <itojun (a] NetBSD.org> 379 Scope: kernel 380 Notes: http://www.kame.net 381 Used for "reference" purposes for early part of KAME 382 integration effort.

The branch is 475 currently only the kernel, but will likely extend to some userland 476 areas. 477 478 Branch: pkgviews 479 Description: package views, enabling multiple conflicting packages to co-exist 480 Status: Active 481 Start Date: 22 July 2002 482 End Date: 483 Base Tag: pkgviews 484 Maintainer: Alistair Crooks <agc (a] NetBSD.org> 485 Scope: pkgsrc, basesrc/usr.sbin/pkg_install 486 Notes: A more flexible infrastructure for third-party packages by 487 allowing multiple conflicting packages and versions to co-exist 488 within the same tree 489 490 Branch: rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb 491 Description: merge in6pcb with inpcb 492 Status: Dormant 493 Start Date: Wed Feb 01 2006 494 End Date: 495 Base Tag: rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb-base 496 Maintainer: Rui Paulo <rpaulo (a] NetBSD.org> 497 Scope: src/sys 498 Notes: No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to 499 continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains 500 the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed 501 in the tech-net mailing list). 502 I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb 503 locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not 504 yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about 505 kernel fine-grained locking). 506 To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant 507 inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names, 508 structure names, structure fields according to the new 509 layout (in6pcb is gone). 510 Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't 511 work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build 512 were not committed because they were incomplete and generated 513 panics. 514 You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because 515 they did most of them by now. 516 After the work is done, you are required to test the branch 517 (before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test. 518 More info at: http://www.tahi.org/ 519 520 Branch: rtr-xorg-branch 521 Description: xorg & static build alterations to src/x11 522 Status: Active 523 Start Date: Nov 15 2004 524 End Date: 525 Base tag: rtr-xorg-branch-base 526 Maintainer: Tyler R.

Improvements 548 include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(), 549 reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also 550 eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being 551 able to pthread_kill() running threads. At this date, 552 most goals have been achieved.

In terms of UBC, the primary cache for 1348 file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate 1349 in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native 1350 pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is 1351 a mapping going on between the VM system and the 1352 underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner 1353 to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes. 1354 Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset 1355 with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big 1356 deal. 1357 1358 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away. 1359 1360 Branch: yamt-idlelwp 1361 Description: idle lwp, and some changes depending on it. 1362 1363 1. separate context switching and thread scheduling. 1364 (cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw) 1365 2. implement idle lwp. 1366 3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces. 1367 4. make scheduler(s) modular. 1368 1369 Status: Terminated; merged to -current 1370 Start Date: Fri Feb 17 2007 1371 End Date: Thu May 17 2007 1372 Base Tag: yamt-idlelwp-base8 1373 Maintainer: YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt (a] NetBSD.org> 1374 Scope: src/sys (src/common is tagged but not branched) 1375 Notes: 1376 Status of ports: 1377 alpha [ Done, UP tested, MP not tested ] 1378 i386 [ Done, tested ] 1379 amd64 [ Done, tested ] 1380 mips [ Done, both MIPS1 and MIPS3 tested] 1381 sparc [ Done, UP tested, MP might have 1382 some problem after newlock2 merge ] 1383 sparc64 [ Done, tested ] 1384 arm [ Done, SA1 tested.
