BRANCHES revision 1.358 1 # $NetBSD: BRANCHES,v 1.358 2021/04/25 01:01:09 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.

745 Notes: Normal futex operataions pass the test suite, but there are
746 issues with Linux compatibility currently, that need to be
747 addressed before merging. Also includes new NetBSD extensions
748 to the futex interface to support reader/writer locks. Those
749 changes can be discounted in favor of fixing the standard
750 futex operations with respect to Linux compatibility.
751 Also includes implementations of eventfd and timerfd, as
752 well as some additional improvements to COMPAT_LINUX{,32}.

762 or lib/libpthread or maybe gdb.
763 Notes: This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
764 This branch is intended to stage improvements for the
765 Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements
766 include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
767 reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also
768 eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being
769 able to pthread_kill() running threads. At this date,
770 most goals have been achieved. This branch also includes
771 fixes to gdb to support working with threaded apps.

781 Notes: This branch is intended to revive Scheduler Activations
782 in -current in the 5.0 era. This branch's main goal is
783 to re-add syscall compatability so that SA-based libpthread
784 programs can run with a -current kernel. 1:1 threading will
785 remain the NetBSD-default. This branch will re-add necessary
786 upcall support, and will also serve as a chance to clean
787 out cruft that had accumulated in the implementation over
788 time.

825 Notes: - maintain object pages in radix tree rather than rb tree.
826 - shrink the size of vm_page.
827 - reduce unnecessary page scan in putpages. esp. when an
828 object has a ton of pages cached but only a few of them
829 are dirty.
830 - reduce the number of pmap operations by tracking page
831 dirtiness more precisely in uvm layer.
832 - fix nfs commit range tracking.
833 - fix nfs write clustering. XXX hack
834 - fix A->O loaning
835 - write radixtree(9) man page

928 Branch: reinoud-bufcleanup
929 Description: implement and evaluate struct buf usage cleanup strategies.
930 Ideas currently in mind (preference for b):
931 a)
932 1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
933 2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
934 and provide some private context.
935 3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
936 like pending action counting, custom context passing,
937 last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
938 etc.
939 4. investigate the use of the kcont()
940 continuation-passing framework for async io
941 completion notification for bufs
942 ...
943 b)
944 1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
945 device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
946 2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
947 3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
948 by IOCTL interface?
949 4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
950 even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
951 ...

1466 - Simplify locking in pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
1467 - Use mutex_obj(9) on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock)
1468 to share locks among UVM objects where necessary.
1469 - Rewrite and optimize x86 TLB shootdown code.
1470 - Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking.

1498 Note that this branch uses a DIFFERENT scheme for
1499 syncing with the mainline. the maintainer uses some private
1500 scripts for keeping them in sync; if you make commits

1502 probably do it wrong; instead, ask the maintainer to

1634 Notes: Still has a number of issues:
1635 - Some heavy workload performance issues on SMP machines.
1636 Work around this issue by turning on WAPBL_DEBUG_SERIALIZE
1637 in rev 1.1.2.11 of vfs_wapbl.c.
1638 - Removing large files (sparse only?) takes a long time.
1639 Eg, a file created with
1640 dd if=/dev/zero of=foox bs=1 count=1 seek=11261748520550
1641 takes 0:00.00 to remove on my test box without logging and
1642 0:22.25 to remove with logging. No disk IO during this...
1643 - sysinst should use in-fs logs now, not end-of-partition logs.

1736 Maintainer: Bill Studenmund <wrstuden (a] NetBSD.org>
1737 Scope: kernel
1738 Notes: No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
1739 of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
1740 file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
1741 in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
1742 pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
1743 a mapping going on between the VM system and the
1744 underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
1745 to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
1746 Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
1747 with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
1748 deal.

1750 Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.

1786 How to adapt a port?
1787
1788 - unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
1789 a single cpu_switchto. see cpu_switchto.9.
1790
1791 - implement cpu_idle. see cpu_idle.9.
1792
1793 - add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
1794 handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
1795 as soon as possible." eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
1796 send an IPI to the target cpu.
1797
1798 - "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
1799 use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead. curlwp is
1800 almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
1801
1802 - remove idle pcbs.
1803
1804 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
1805
1806 - (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
1807 secondary processors.
1808
1809 - (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
1810 curlwp.
1811
1812 - of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.

2129 first step in cleaning up the scheduler. It is necessary
2130 for the newlock branch, making the scheduler SMP friendly,
2131 adding real-time scheduler extensions, and reducing the
2132 number of code paths for LWP and proc switching.

2192 TODO:
2193
2194 all - Need to replace mb_*() with membar_*().
2195
2196 - Audit MUTEX_CAS() and RWLOCK_CAS() uses
2197 to see of membar_enter() is required here.
2198
2199 - Talk to ad@ -- figure out of non-atomic
2200 mutex / rwlock release is actually safe.
2201
2202 arm - Consider using a RAS technique like
2203 MIPS uses for _lock_cas() and the mutex
2204 stubs. Possibly do more than one atomic
2205 op as a RAS. Possibly implement mutex
2206 stubs using the technique.
2207
2208 m68k - Need to do 68010 support.
2209
2210 i386 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
2211 so we can test ncpus.
2212
2213 powerpc - Figure out if we need barriers in the
2214 atomic ops themselves (hopefully not!)
2215
2216 x86_64 - Need to change when x86_patch() is called
2217 so we can test ncpus.
