      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

     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.

    317 Branch:		ad-audiomp
    318 Description:	Add MP locking to the audio drivers
    319 Status:		Terminated
    320 Start Date:	28 February 2007
    321 End Date:	7 December 2008
    322 Base Tag:	ad-audiomp-base
    323 Maintainer:	Andrew Doran <ad (a] NetBSD.org>
    324 Scope:		kernel
    325 Notes:		Making the audio drivers MP safe is necessary before efforts
    326 		can be made to make the VM system MP safe. About 1/2 of the
    327 		drivers are converted, the remaining 1/2 need more changes.
    328 
    329 		As of import this is snapshot of work in progress and so
    330 		may not compile; in particular the midi changes are very
    331 		much "in progress". The audio component has been tested
    332 		and verified to work with emuxki and auvia. There may
    333 		be a locking issue in the ac97 code at boot.
    334 
    335 		The are two locks per device instance, an ISR lock and
    336 		a character device lock. The ISR lock replaces calls to
    337 		splaudio()/splx(), and will be held across calls to device
    338 		methods which were called at splaudio() before (e.g.
    339 		trigger_output). The character device lock is held across
    340 		calls to nearly all of the methods, excluding some only
    341 		used for initialization, e.g. get_locks. This needs to be
    342 		documented at merge time.
    343 
    344 		To test on a multi way x86 system, search for "mpsafe" in
    345 		x86/x86/intr.c and change IPL_SCHED to IPL_AUDIO. Run a job
    346 		that will acquire the ISR lock (depends on the hardware, but
    347 		"while true; do mixerctl -a > /dev/null; done" may suffice).
    348 		Play audio, run lockstat and verify that that there is
    349 		contention on the ISR lock.

    648 Maintainer:	Rui Paulo <rpaulo (a] NetBSD.org>
    649 Scope:		src/sys
    650 Notes:		No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to
    651 		continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains
    652 		the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed
    653 		in the tech-net mailing list).
    654 		I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb
    655 		locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not
    656 		yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about
    657 		kernel fine-grained locking).
    658 		To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant
    659 		inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names,
    660 		structure names, structure fields according to the new
    661 		layout (in6pcb is gone).
    662 		Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't
    663 		work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build
    664 		were not committed because they were incomplete and generated
    665 		panics.
    666 		You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because
    667 		they did most of them by now.
    668 		After the work is done, you are required to test the branch
    669 		(before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test.

    681 Notes:		This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
    682 		This branch is intended to stage improvements for the

    684 		include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
    685 		reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also

    687 		able to pthread_kill() running threads. At this date,

    702 		programs can run with a -current kernel. 1:1 threading will
    703 		remain the NetBSD-default. This branch will re-add necessary

    705 		out cruft that had accumulated in the implementation over

    846 Branch:		reinoud-bufcleanup
    847 Description:	implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
    848 		Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
    849 		a)
    850 			1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
    851 			2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
    852 			   and provide some private context.
    853 			3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
    854 			   like pending action counting, custom context passing,
    855 			   last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
    856 			   etc.
    857 			4. investigate the use of the kcont()
    858 			   continuation-passing framework for async io
    859 			   completion notification for bufs
    860 			...
    861 		b)
    862 			1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
    863 			   device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
    864 			2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
    865 			3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
    866 			   by IOCTL interface?
    867 			4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
    868 			   even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
    869 			...

   1345 
   1346 		- Reorganize locking in UVM and serialize pmap(9) operations
   1347 		  on same page(s).  New lock order: [vmpage-lock] -> pmap-lock.
   1348 		  Based on the patch from ad@.
   1349 		- Simplify locking in pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
   1350 		- Use mutex_obj(9) on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock)
   1351 		  to share locks among UVM objects where necessary.
   1352 		- Rewrite and optimize x86 TLB shootdown code.
   1353 		- Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking.
   1354 
   1355 		Future work:
   1356 
   1357 		- Optimize pmap_remove() with tracking in struct vm_map_entry.

   1620 Scope:		kernel
   1621 Notes:		No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
   1622 		of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
   1623 		file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
   1624 		in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
   1625 		pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
   1626 		a mapping going on between the VM system and the
   1627 		underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
   1628 		to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
   1629 		Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
   1630 		with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
   1631 		deal.

   1669 		How to adapt a port?
   1670 
   1671 		- unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
   1672 		  a single cpu_switchto.  see cpu_switchto.9.
   1673 
   1674 		- implement cpu_idle.  see cpu_idle.9.
   1675 
   1676 		- add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
   1677 		  handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
   1678 		  as soon as possible."  eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
   1679 		  send an IPI to the target cpu.
   1680 
   1681 		- "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
   1682 		  use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead.  curlwp is
   1683 		  almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
   1684 
   1685 		- remove idle pcbs.
   1686 
   1687 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
   1688 
   1689 		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
   1690 		  secondary processors.
   1691 
   1692 		- (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
   1693 		  curlwp.
   1694 
   1695 		- of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
