BRANCHES revision 1.355 1 # $NetBSD: BRANCHES,v 1.355 2020/11/01 15:41:56 thorpej 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.
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.

340 Branch: ad-audiomp
341 Description: Add MP locking to the audio drivers
342 Status: Terminated
343 Start Date: 28 February 2007
344 End Date: 7 December 2008
345 Base Tag: ad-audiomp-base
346 Maintainer: Andrew Doran <ad (a] NetBSD.org>
347 Scope: kernel
348 Notes: Making the audio drivers MP safe is necessary before efforts
349 can be made to make the VM system MP safe. About 1/2 of the
350 drivers are converted, the remaining 1/2 need more changes.
351
352 As of import this is snapshot of work in progress and so
353 may not compile; in particular the midi changes are very
354 much "in progress". The audio component has been tested
355 and verified to work with emuxki and auvia. There may
356 be a locking issue in the ac97 code at boot.
357
358 The are two locks per device instance, an ISR lock and
359 a character device lock. The ISR lock replaces calls to
360 splaudio()/splx(), and will be held across calls to device
361 methods which were called at splaudio() before (e.g.
362 trigger_output). The character device lock is held across
363 calls to nearly all of the methods, excluding some only
364 used for initialization, e.g. get_locks. This needs to be
365 documented at merge time.
366
367 To test on a multi way x86 system, search for "mpsafe" in
368 x86/x86/intr.c and change IPL_SCHED to IPL_AUDIO. Run a job
369 that will acquire the ISR lock (depends on the hardware, but
370 "while true; do mixerctl -a > /dev/null; done" may suffice).
371 Play audio, run lockstat and verify that that there is
372 contention on the ISR lock.
373
374 Branch: ad-audiomp2
375 Description: Add MP locking to the audio drivers

379 Base Tag: ad-audiomp2-base

384 Branch: ad-namecache
385 Description: Redo the namecache
386 Status: Active
387 Start Date: 8 January 2020
388 End Date:
389 Base Tag: ad-namecache-base
390 Maintainer: Andrew Doran <ad (a] NetBSD.org>
391 Scope: src/sys src/common
392 Notes: 1) Redo the namecache to focus on per-directory data
393 structures, removing the huge hashtable and nasty locking
394 scheme.
395
396 Initially this uses rbtrees (because that's what's there).
397 The intent is that ultimately some other data structure
398 will be used.
399
400 2) Experiment with having namei() traverse the cache and
401 avoid vnode locks except for the leaf in the totally
402 in-cache case.

412 Notes: This branch is used to develop the version of netpgp

701 Base Tag: rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb-base
702 Maintainer: Rui Paulo <rpaulo (a] NetBSD.org>
703 Scope: src/sys
704 Notes: No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to
705 continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains
706 the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed
707 in the tech-net mailing list).
708 I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb
709 locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not
710 yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about
711 kernel fine-grained locking).
712 To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant
713 inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names,
714 structure names, structure fields according to the new
715 layout (in6pcb is gone).
716 Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't
717 work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build
718 were not committed because they were incomplete and generated
719 panics.
720 You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because
721 they did most of them by now.
722 After the work is done, you are required to test the branch
723 (before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test.

735 issues with Linux compatibility currently, that need to be
736 addressed before merging. Also includes new NetBSD extensions
737 to the futex interface to support reader/writer locks. Those
738 changes can be discounted in favor of fixing the standard
739 futex operations with respect to Linux compatibility.

748 Scope: src, though all the interesting stuff is in the kernel
749 or lib/libpthread or maybe gdb.
750 Notes: This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
751 This branch is intended to stage improvements for the
752 Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements
753 include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
754 reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also
755 eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being
756 able to pthread_kill() running threads. At this date,
757 most goals have been achieved. This branch also includes
758 fixes to gdb to support working with threaded apps.

767 Scope: src, though all the interesting stuff is in the kernel
768 Notes: This branch is intended to revive Scheduler Activations
769 in -current in the 5.0 era. This branch's main goal is
770 to re-add syscall compatability so that SA-based libpthread
771 programs can run with a -current kernel. 1:1 threading will
772 remain the NetBSD-default. This branch will re-add necessary
773 upcall support, and will also serve as a chance to clean
774 out cruft that had accumulated in the implementation over
775 time.

812 Notes: - maintain object pages in radix tree rather than rb tree.
813 - shrink the size of vm_page.
814 - reduce unnecessary page scan in putpages. esp. when an
815 object has a ton of pages cached but only a few of them
816 are dirty.
817 - reduce the number of pmap operations by tracking page
818 dirtiness more precisely in uvm layer.
819 - fix nfs commit range tracking.
820 - fix nfs write clustering. XXX hack
821 - fix A->O loaning

915 Branch: reinoud-bufcleanup
916 Description: implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
917 Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
918 a)
919 1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
920 2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
921 and provide some private context.
922 3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
923 like pending action counting, custom context passing,
924 last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
925 etc.
926 4. investigate the use of the kcont()
927 continuation-passing framework for async io
928 completion notification for bufs
929 ...
930 b)
931 1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
932 device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
933 2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
934 3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
935 by IOCTL interface?
936 4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
937 even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
938 ...

1453 - Simplify locking in pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
1454 - Use mutex_obj(9) on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock)
1455 to share locks among UVM objects where necessary.
1456 - Rewrite and optimize x86 TLB shootdown code.
1457 - Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking.

1485 Note that this branch uses a DIFFERENT scheme for
1486 syncing with the mainline. the maintainer uses some private
1487 scripts for keeping them in sync; if you make commits

1489 probably do it wrong; instead, ask the maintainer to

1627 dd if=/dev/zero of=foox bs=1 count=1 seek=11261748520550
1628 takes 0:00.00 to remove on my test box without logging and
1629 0:22.25 to remove with logging. No disk IO during this...
1630 - sysinst should use in-fs logs now, not end-of-partition logs.

1723 Maintainer: Bill Studenmund <wrstuden (a] NetBSD.org>
1724 Scope: kernel
1725 Notes: No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
1726 of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
1727 file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
1728 in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
1729 pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
1730 a mapping going on between the VM system and the
1731 underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
1732 to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
1733 Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
1734 with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
1735 deal.

1737 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.

1773 How to adapt a port?
1774
1775 - unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
1776 a single cpu_switchto. see cpu_switchto.9.
1777
1778 - implement cpu_idle. see cpu_idle.9.
1779
1780 - add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
1781 handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
1782 as soon as possible." eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
1783 send an IPI to the target cpu.
1784
1785 - "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
1786 use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead. curlwp is
1787 almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
1788
1789 - remove idle pcbs.
1790
1791 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
1792
1793 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
1794 secondary processors.
1795
1796 - (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
1797 curlwp.
1798
1799 - of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.

2142 Notes: Base atomic primitives need to be implemented for
2143 all of the supported architectures:

2179 TODO:
2180
2181 all - Need to replace mb_*() with membar_*().
2182
2183 - Audit MUTEX_CAS() and RWLOCK_CAS() uses
2184 to see of membar_enter() is required here.
2185
2186 - Talk to ad@ -- figure out of non-atomic
2187 mutex / rwlock release is actually safe.
2188
2189 arm - Consider using a RAS technique like
2190 MIPS uses for _lock_cas() and the mutex
2191 stubs. Possibly do more than one atomic
2192 op as a RAS. Possibly implement mutex
2193 stubs using the technique.
2194
2195 m68k - Need to do 68010 support.
2196
2197 i386 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
2198 so we can test ncpus.
2199
2200 powerpc - Figure out if we need barriers in the
2201 atomic ops themselves (hopefully not!)
2202
2203 x86_64 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
2204 so we can test ncpus.
