      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.

    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.

    375 Description:	Add MP locking to the audio drivers
    376 Status:		Terminated

    379 Base Tag:	ad-audiomp2-base

    384 Branch:		ad-namecache

    386 Status:		Active
    387 Start Date:	8 January 2020

    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
    413 		which has its own version of bignum, ciphers, and signatures
    414 		libraries, so that it is able to operate without openssl
    415 		being in place.

    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.

    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}.

    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,

    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.

    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 			...

   1454 		  Based on the patch from ad@.
   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.
   1460 
   1461 		Future work:
   1462 
   1463 		- Optimize pmap_remove() with tracking in struct vm_map_entry.

   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.

   1743 
   1744 		1. separate context switching and thread scheduling.
   1745 		   (cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw)
   1746 		2. implement idle lwp.
   1747 		3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces.
   1748 		4. make scheduler(s) modular.

   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.

   2119 		for the newlock branch, making the scheduler SMP friendly,
   2120 		adding real-time scheduler extensions, and reducing the
   2121 		number of code paths for LWP and proc switching.

   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.
