BRANCHES revision 1.335 1 # $NetBSD: BRANCHES,v 1.335 2015/11/11 06:53:36 snj 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.

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.

341 Description: Add MP locking to the audio drivers

567 are created with MAKEDEV scripts and allow nodes to be created
568 and removed dynamically as devices are attached and detached
569 from the machine.

624 End Date:
625 Base Tag: rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb-base
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.

650 Branch: wrstuden-fixsa

652 Status: Active

654 End Date:
655 Base Tag: wrstuden-fixsa-base
656 Maintainer: Bill Stouder-Studenmund <wrstuden (a] NetBSD.org>
657 Scope: src, though all the interesting stuff is in the kernel
658 or lib/libpthread or maybe gdb.
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.

721 Notes: - maintain object pages in radix tree rather than rb tree.
722 - shrink the size of vm_page.
723 - reduce unnecessary page scan in putpages. esp. when an
724 object has a ton of pages cached but only a few of them
725 are dirty.
726 - reduce the number of pmap operations by tracking page
727 dirtiness more precisely in uvm layer.
728 - fix nfs commit range tracking.
729 - fix nfs write clustering. XXX hack
730 - fix A->O loaning
731 - write radixtree(9) man page
732
733 TODO:
734 - benchmark
735 - test

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 ...

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
1338 may have changed incompatibly with the last branch update;
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.

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
1352 resynchronize things.

1487 - Removing large files (sparse only?) takes a long time.
1488 Eg, a file created with
1489 dd if=/dev/zero of=foox bs=1 count=1 seek=11261748520550
1490 takes 0:00.00 to remove on my test box without logging and
1491 0:22.25 to remove with logging. No disk IO during this...

1585 Maintainer: Bill Studenmund <wrstuden (a] NetBSD.org>
1586 Scope: kernel
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.

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.
