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 266Branch: ad-audiomp2 267Description: Add MP locking to the audio drivers 268Status: Active 269Start Date: 7 December 2008 270End Date: 271Base Tag: ad-audiomp2-base 272Maintainer: Andrew Doran <ad@NetBSD.org> 273Scope: kernel 274Notes: Ressurect ad-audiomp, make the audio drivers MP safe. 275 276Branch: bjh21-hydra 277Description: Simtec Hydra support and ARM SMP in general 278Status: Dormant 279Start Date: 18 Oct 2002 280End Date: 281Base Tag: bjh21-hydra-base 282Maintainer: Ben Harris <bjh21@NetBSD.org> 283Scope: sys/arch/arm sys/arch/acorn32 284Notes: 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 288Branch: chris-arm-intr-rework 289Description: Rework arm interrupt handling code 290Status: Dormant 291Start Date: 11 Aug 2007 292End Date: 293Base Tag: chris-arm-intr-rework-base 294Maintainer: Chris Gilbert <chris@NetBSD.org> 295Scope: sys/arch/arm sys/arch/cats (other arm archs to follow) 296Notes: 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 300Branch: gmcgarry_ucred 301Description: Integrate and encapsulate user credentials 302Status: Dormant 303Start Date: 18 December 2002 304End Date: 305Base Tag: gmcgarry_ucred_base 306Maintainer: Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry@NetBSD.org> 307Scope: kernel 308Notes: merge pcred and ucred and poolify 309 310Branch: hpcarm-cleanup 311Description: Fix build problems for hpcarm 312Status: Active 313Start Date: 31 July 2007 314End Date: 315Base Tag: hpcarm-cleanup-base 316Maintainer: Robert Swindells <rjs@NetBSD.org> 317Scope: kernel 318Notes: Modify SA11x0 interrupt code to match PXA2x0 equivalent. 319 320Branch: itohy-usb1 321Description: USB stack overhaul, mostly DMA related 322Status: Active 323Start Date: 22 May 2007 324End Date: 325Base Tag: itohy-usb1-base 326Maintainer: ITOH Yasufumi <itohy@NetBSD.org> 327Scope: kernel 328Notes: To check out the kernel source tree, 329 1. check out checkout script 330 cvs checkout -ritohy-usb1 src/sys/dev/usb/filelist 331 2. update files in the branch 332 sh -e src/sys/dev/usb/filelist 333 334Branch: jym-xensuspend 335Description: Implement xm save/restore/migrate for NetBSD domU 336Status: Active 337Start Date: 2009-02-08 338End Date: 339Base Tag: jym-xensuspend-base 340Maintainer: Jean-Yves Migeon <jym@NetBSD.org> 341Scope: kernel 342Notes: This branch contains the code required to support the Xen 343 save/restore/migrate facilities.

New lock order: [vmpage-lock] -> pmap-lock. 476 Based on the patch from ad@. 477 - Simplify locking in pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking. 478 - Use mutex_obj(9) on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock) 479 to share locks among UVM objects where necessary. 480 - Optimize pmap_remove() with tracking in struct vm_map_entry. 481 - Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking. 482 483Branch: rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb 484Description: merge in6pcb with inpcb 485Status: Dormant 486Start Date: Wed Feb 01 2006 487End Date: 488Base Tag: rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb-base 489Maintainer: Rui Paulo <rpaulo@NetBSD.org> 490Scope: src/sys 491Notes: No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to 492 continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains 493 the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed 494 in the tech-net mailing list). 495 I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb 496 locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not 497 yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about 498 kernel fine-grained locking). 499 To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant 500 inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names, 501 structure names, structure fields according to the new 502 layout (in6pcb is gone). 503 Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't 504 work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build 505 were not committed because they were incomplete and generated 506 panics. 507 You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because 508 they did most of them by now. 509 After the work is done, you are required to test the branch 510 (before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test. 511 More info at: http://www.tahi.org/ 512 513Branch: wrstuden-fixsa 514Description: Fix a number of issues present with Scheduler Activations. 515Status: Active 516Start Date: 15 May 2007 517End Date: 518Base Tag: wrstuden-fixsa-base 519Maintainer: Bill Stouder-Studenmund <wrstuden@NetBSD.org> 520Scope: src, though all the interesting stuff is in the kernel 521 or lib/libpthread or maybe gdb. 522Notes: This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch! 523 This branch is intended to stage improvements for the 524 Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements 525 include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(), 526 reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also 527 eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being 528 able to pthread_kill() running threads. At this date, 529 most goals have been achieved. This branch also includes 530 fixes to gdb to support working with threaded apps. 531 532Branch: wrstuden-revivesa 533Description: Fix a number of issues present with Scheduler Activations. 534Status: Active 535Start Date: 10 May 2008 536End Date: 537Base Tag: wrstuden-revivesa-base 538Maintainer: Bill Stouder-Studenmund <wrstuden@NetBSD.org> 539Scope: src, though all the interesting stuff is in the kernel 540Notes: This branch is intended to revive Scheduler Activations 541 in -current in the 5.0 era. This branch's main goal is 542 to re-add syscall compatability so that SA-based libpthread 543 programs can run with a -current kernel. 1:1 threading will 544 remain the NetBSD-default. This branch will re-add necessary 545 upcall support, and will also serve as a chance to clean 546 out cruft that had accumulated in the implementation over 547 time. 548 549Branch: yamt-kmem 550Description: 551 - separate kernel va allocation from kernel fault handling. 552 - make kmem_alloc interrupt-safe. 553Status: Active 554Start Date: Sun Dec 9 2007 555End Date: 556Base Tag: yamt-kmem-base3 557Maintainer: YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@NetBSD.org> 558Scope: src/sys (src/common is tagged but not branched) 559Notes: 560 todo: 561 - investigate if PMAP_PREFER equivalent can be done 562 with vmem_xalloc. find a tester with hardware for it. 563 - g/c replaced code, including kmapent and malloc. 564 - consider to remove other submaps. eg. mb_map 565 566Branch: yamt-nfs-mp 567Description: make nfs client mp-safe 568Status: Active 569Start Date: Sun Apr 27 2008 570End Date: 571Base Tag: yamt-nfs-mp-base11 572Maintainer: YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@NetBSD.org> 573Scope: src/sys (src/common is tagged but not branched) 574Notes: 575 576Branch: reinoud-bufcleanup 577Description: implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies. 578 Ideas currently in mind (preference for b): 579 a) 580 1. use of bio_ops per buffer. 581 2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops 582 and provide some private context. 583 3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality 584 like pending action counting, custom context passing, 585 last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache 586 etc. 587 4. investigate the use of the kcont() 588 continuation-passing framework for async io 589 completion notification for bufs 590 ... 591 b) 592 1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by 593 device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ 594 2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling 595 3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable 596 by IOCTL interface?

In terms of UBC, the primary cache for 1295 file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate 1296 in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native 1297 pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is 1298 a mapping going on between the VM system and the 1299 underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner 1300 to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes. 1301 Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset 1302 with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big 1303 deal. 1304 1305 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away. 1306 1307Branch: yamt-idlelwp 1308Description: idle lwp, and some changes depending on it. 1309 1310 1. separate context switching and thread scheduling. 1311 (cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw) 1312 2. implement idle lwp. 1313 3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces. 1314 4. make scheduler(s) modular. 1315 1316Status: Terminated; merged to -current 1317Start Date: Fri Feb 17 2007 1318End Date: Thu May 17 2007 1319Base Tag: yamt-idlelwp-base8 1320Maintainer: YAMAMOTO Takashi <yamt@NetBSD.org> 1321Scope: src/sys (src/common is tagged but not branched) 1322Notes: 1323 Status of ports: 1324 alpha [ Done, UP tested, MP not tested ] 1325 i386 [ Done, tested ] 1326 amd64 [ Done, tested ] 1327 mips [ Done, both MIPS1 and MIPS3 tested] 1328 sparc [ Done, UP tested, MP might have 1329 some problem after newlock2 merge ] 1330 sparc64 [ Done, tested ] 1331 arm [ Done, SA1 tested.
