BRANCHES revision 1.356 1 # $NetBSD: BRANCHES,v 1.356 2020/12/18 01:08:13 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.

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.

732 Maintainer: Jason Thorpe <thorpej (a] netbsd.org>
733 Scope: src/sys src/tests/lib/libc/sys src/distrib/sets/lists
734 Note: Normal futex operataions pass the test suite, but there are
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.
740 Also includes implementations of eventfd and timerfd, as
741 well as some additional improvements to COMPAT_LINUX{,32}.

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

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

814 Notes: - maintain object pages in radix tree rather than rb tree.
815 - shrink the size of vm_page.
816 - reduce unnecessary page scan in putpages. esp. when an
817 object has a ton of pages cached but only a few of them
818 are dirty.
819 - reduce the number of pmap operations by tracking page
820 dirtiness more precisely in uvm layer.
821 - fix nfs commit range tracking.
822 - fix nfs write clustering. XXX hack
823 - fix A->O loaning
824 - write radixtree(9) man page

917 Branch: reinoud-bufcleanup
918 Description: implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
919 Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
920 a)
921 1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
922 2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
923 and provide some private context.
924 3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
925 like pending action counting, custom context passing,
926 last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
927 etc.
928 4. investigate the use of the kcont()
929 continuation-passing framework for async io
930 completion notification for bufs
931 ...
932 b)
933 1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
934 device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
935 2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
936 3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
937 by IOCTL interface?
938 4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
939 even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
940 ...

1455 - Simplify locking in pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
1456 - Use mutex_obj(9) on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock)
1457 to share locks among UVM objects where necessary.
1458 - Rewrite and optimize x86 TLB shootdown code.
1459 - Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking.

1487 Note that this branch uses a DIFFERENT scheme for
1488 syncing with the mainline. the maintainer uses some private
1489 scripts for keeping them in sync; if you make commits

1491 probably do it wrong; instead, ask the maintainer to

1628 Eg, a file created with
1629 dd if=/dev/zero of=foox bs=1 count=1 seek=11261748520550
1630 takes 0:00.00 to remove on my test box without logging and
1631 0:22.25 to remove with logging. No disk IO during this...
1632 - sysinst should use in-fs logs now, not end-of-partition logs.

1725 Maintainer: Bill Studenmund <wrstuden (a] NetBSD.org>
1726 Scope: kernel
1727 Notes: No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
1728 of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
1729 file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
1730 in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
1731 pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
1732 a mapping going on between the VM system and the
1733 underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
1734 to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
1735 Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
1736 with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
1737 deal.
1738
1739 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.

1775 How to adapt a port?
1776
1777 - unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
1778 a single cpu_switchto. see cpu_switchto.9.
1779
1780 - implement cpu_idle. see cpu_idle.9.
1781
1782 - add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
1783 handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
1784 as soon as possible." eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
1785 send an IPI to the target cpu.
1786
1787 - "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
1788 use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead. curlwp is
1789 almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
1790
1791 - remove idle pcbs.
1792
1793 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
1794
1795 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
1796 secondary processors.
1797
1798 - (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
1799 curlwp.
1800
1801 - of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.

2181 TODO:
2182
2183 all - Need to replace mb_*() with membar_*().
2184
2185 - Audit MUTEX_CAS() and RWLOCK_CAS() uses
2186 to see of membar_enter() is required here.
2187
2188 - Talk to ad@ -- figure out of non-atomic
2189 mutex / rwlock release is actually safe.
2190
2191 arm - Consider using a RAS technique like
2192 MIPS uses for _lock_cas() and the mutex
2193 stubs. Possibly do more than one atomic
2194 op as a RAS. Possibly implement mutex
2195 stubs using the technique.
2196
2197 m68k - Need to do 68010 support.
2198
2199 i386 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
2200 so we can test ncpus.
2201
2202 powerpc - Figure out if we need barriers in the
2203 atomic ops themselves (hopefully not!)
2204
2205 x86_64 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
2206 so we can test ncpus.
