      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

     28 #   End Date:	  date it was Terminated/made_Dormant, if any
     29 #   Base Tag:	  netbsd-1-5-base, etc.
     30 #   Maintainer:	  Somebody to blame.

    306 Branch:		ad-audiomp
    307 Description:	Add MP locking to the audio drivers
    308 Status:		Terminated
    309 Start Date:	28 February 2007
    310 End Date:	7 December 2008
    311 Base Tag:	ad-audiomp-base
    312 Maintainer:	Andrew Doran <ad (a] NetBSD.org>
    313 Scope:		kernel
    314 Notes:		Making the audio drivers MP safe is necessary before efforts
    315 		can be made to make the VM system MP safe. About 1/2 of the
    316 		drivers are converted, the remaining 1/2 need more changes.
    317 
    318 		As of import this is snapshot of work in progress and so
    319 		may not compile; in particular the midi changes are very
    320 		much "in progress". The audio component has been tested
    321 		and verified to work with emuxki and auvia. There may
    322 		be a locking issue in the ac97 code at boot.
    323 
    324 		The are two locks per device instance, an ISR lock and
    325 		a character device lock. The ISR lock replaces calls to
    326 		splaudio()/splx(), and will be held across calls to device
    327 		methods which were called at splaudio() before (e.g.
    328 		trigger_output). The character device lock is held across
    329 		calls to nearly all of the methods, excluding some only
    330 		used for initialization, e.g. get_locks. This needs to be
    331 		documented at merge time.
    332 
    333 		To test on a multi way x86 system, search for "mpsafe" in
    334 		x86/x86/intr.c and change IPL_SCHED to IPL_AUDIO. Run a job
    335 		that will acquire the ISR lock (depends on the hardware, but
    336 		"while true; do mixerctl -a > /dev/null; done" may suffice).
    337 		Play audio, run lockstat and verify that that there is
    338 		contention on the ISR lock.

    626 Maintainer:	Rui Paulo <rpaulo (a] NetBSD.org>
    627 Scope:		src/sys
    628 Notes:		No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to
    629 		continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains
    630 		the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed
    631 		in the tech-net mailing list).
    632 		I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb
    633 		locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not
    634 		yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about
    635 		kernel fine-grained locking).
    636 		To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant
    637 		inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names,
    638 		structure names, structure fields according to the new
    639 		layout (in6pcb is gone).
    640 		Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't
    641 		work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build
    642 		were not committed because they were incomplete and generated
    643 		panics.
    644 		You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because
    645 		they did most of them by now.
    646 		After the work is done, you are required to test the branch
    647 		(before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test.

    659 Notes:		This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
    660 		This branch is intended to stage improvements for the
    661 		Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements
    662 		include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
    663 		reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also
    664 		eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being
    665 		able to pthread_kill() running threads. At this date,
    666 		most goals have been achieved. This branch also includes
    667 		fixes to gdb to support working with threaded apps.

    677 Notes:		This branch is intended to revive Scheduler Activations
    678 		in -current in the 5.0 era. This branch's main goal is
    679 		to re-add syscall compatability so that SA-based libpthread
    680 		programs can run with a -current kernel. 1:1 threading will
    681 		remain the NetBSD-default. This branch will re-add necessary
    682 		upcall support, and will also serve as a chance to clean
    683 		out cruft that had accumulated in the implementation over
    684 		time.

    824 Branch:		reinoud-bufcleanup
    825 Description:	implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
    826 		Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
    827 		a)
    828 			1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
    829 			2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
    830 			   and provide some private context.
    831 			3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
    832 			   like pending action counting, custom context passing,
    833 			   last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
    834 			   etc.
    835 			4. investigate the use of the kcont()
    836 			   continuation-passing framework for async io
    837 			   completion notification for bufs
    838 			...
    839 		b)
    840 			1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
    841 			   device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
    842 			2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
    843 			3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
    844 			   by IOCTL interface?
    845 			4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
    846 			   even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
    847 			...

   1310 Notes:		Goals:
   1311 
   1312 		- Reorganize locking in UVM and serialize pmap(9) operations
   1313 		  on same page(s).  New lock order: [vmpage-lock] -> pmap-lock.
   1314 		  Based on the patch from ad@.
   1315 		- Simplify locking in pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
   1316 		- Use mutex_obj(9) on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock)
   1317 		  to share locks among UVM objects where necessary.
   1318 		- Rewrite and optimize x86 TLB shootdown code.
   1319 		- Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking.
   1320 
   1321 		Future work:
   1322 
   1323 		- Optimize pmap_remove() with tracking in struct vm_map_entry.

   1336 
   1337 		Not guaranteed to compile against mainline since -current

   1339 		use "cvs update -D" to roll-back the rest of the tree to match.
   1340 
   1341 		Please get explicit permission from the maintainer 
   1342 		before each commit, or your changes will be backed out.
   1343 		Other tags starting with sommerfeld_ are private to 
   1344 		the developer and are guaranteed to be unstable.
   1345 		Only the maintainer should move tags.
   1346 
   1347 		Note that this branch uses a DIFFERENT scheme for 
   1348 		syncing with the mainline.  the maintainer uses some private
   1349 		scripts for keeping them in sync; if you make commits 
   1350 		to the branch to "resynchronize" things, you'll
   1351 		probably do it wrong; instead, ask the maintainer to

   1587 Notes:		No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
   1588 		of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
   1589 		file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
   1590 		in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
   1591 		pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
   1592 		a mapping going on between the VM system and the
   1593 		underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
   1594 		to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
   1595 		Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
   1596 		with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
   1597 		deal.
   1598

   1635 		How to adapt a port?
   1636 
   1637 		- unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
   1638 		  a single cpu_switchto.  see cpu_switchto.9.
   1639 
   1640 		- implement cpu_idle.  see cpu_idle.9.
   1641 
   1642 		- add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
   1643 		  handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
   1644 		  as soon as possible."  eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
   1645 		  send an IPI to the target cpu.
   1646 
   1647 		- "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
   1648 		  use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead.  curlwp is
   1649 		  almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
   1650 
   1651 		- remove idle pcbs.
   1652 
   1653 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
   1654 
   1655 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
   1656 		  secondary processors.
   1657 
   1658 		- (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
   1659 		  curlwp.
   1660 
   1661 		- of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
