BRANCHES revision 1.247
1#	$NetBSD: BRANCHES,v 1.247 2008/03/24 09:38:04 yamt Exp $
2#
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#

211Branch:		ad-audiomp
212Description:	Add MP locking to the audio drivers
213Status:		Active
214Start Date:	28 February 2007
215End Date:
216Base Tag:	ad-audiomp-base
217Maintainer:	Andrew Doran <ad@NetBSD.org>
218Scope:		kernel
219Notes:		Making the audio drivers MP safe is necessary before efforts
220		can be made to make the VM system MP safe. About 1/2 of the
221		drivers are converted, the remaining 1/2 need more changes.
222
223		As of import this is snapshot of work in progress and so
224		may not compile; in particular the midi changes are very
225		much "in progress". The audio component has been tested
226		and verified to work with emuxki and auvia. There may
227		be a locking issue in the ac97 code at boot.
228
229		The are two locks per device instance, an ISR lock and
230		a character device lock. The ISR lock replaces calls to
231		splaudio()/splx(), and will be held across calls to device
232		methods which were called at splaudio() before (e.g.
233		trigger_output). The character device lock is held across
234		calls to nearly all of the methods, excluding some only
235		used for initialization, e.g. get_locks. This needs to be
236		documented at merge time.
237
238		To test on a multi way x86 system, search for "mpsafe" in
239		x86/x86/intr.c and change IPL_SCHED to IPL_AUDIO. Run a job
240		that will acquire the ISR lock (depends on the hardware, but
241		"while true; do mixerctl -a > /dev/null; done" may suffice).
242		Play audio, run lockstat and verify that that there is
243		contention on the ISR lock.

245Branch:		bjh21-hydra

251Maintainer:	Ben Harris <bjh21@NetBSD.org>
252Scope:		sys/arch/arm sys/arch/acorn32
253Notes:		This code was on a branch because it involves changes to
254		cpuswitch.S which would otherwise make merging the
255		nathanw_sa branch difficult.
256
257Branch:		chris-arm-intr-rework

279Branch:		gmcgarry_ctxsw
280Description:	Separate scheduler from context-switch code
281Status:		Dormant

283End Date:
284Base Tag:	gmcgarry_ctxsw_base
285Maintainer:	Gregory McGarry <gmcgarry@NetBSD.org>
286Scope:		kernel
287Notes:		Removing knowledge of the scheduler and its run queues
288		from the machine-dependent context switch code is the
289		first step in cleaning up the scheduler.  It is necessary
290		for the newlock branch, making the scheduler SMP friendly,
291		adding real-time scheduler extensions, and reducing the
292		number of code paths for LWP and proc switching.

452Base Tag:	rpaulo-netinet-merge-pcb-base
453Maintainer:	Rui Paulo <rpaulo@NetBSD.org>
454Scope:		src/sys
455Notes:		No longer active due to the lack of time. If you plan to
456		continue this branch, sys/netinet/in_pcb.h already contains
457		the proposed structure layout (which was roughly discussed
458		in the tech-net mailing list).
459		I also defined INP_*() macros to mimicate FreeBSD's inpcb
460		locking style, but currently they do nothing and are not
461		yet called at the correct places (needs discussion about
462		kernel fine-grained locking).
463		To continue this branch, one needs to read all the relevant
464		inpcb/in6pcb source files and change the function names,
465		structure names, structure fields according to the new
466		layout (in6pcb is gone).
467		Don't try to build a kernel from this branch because it won't
468		work. The missing pieces required to do a complete build
469		were not committed because they were incomplete and generated
470		panics.
471		You shouldn't need to worry about KAME syncs because
472		they did most of them by now.
473		After the work is done, you are required to test the branch
474		(before the merge to -current) with an interop IPv6 test.

502Notes:		This branch is based off of the netbsd-4 branch!
503		This branch is intended to stage improvements for the
504		Scheduler Activations system for NetBSD 4. Improvements
505		include not allocating memory while preparing to tsleep(),
506		reducing inappropriate upcall delivery (hopefully also
507		eliminating the need to mlock stacks), and being
508		able to pthread_kill() running threads.

542			1. use of bio_ops per buffer.
543			2. allow chaining/overloading of functions in bio_ops
544			   and provide some private context.
545			3. extend the bio_ops with commonly used functionality
546			   like pending action counting, custom context passing,
547			   last minute processing of buffer data, buffer cache
548			   etc.
549			4. investigate the use of the kcont()
550			   continuation-passing framework for async io
551			   completion notification for bufs
552			...
553		b)
554			1. all sequencing use of B_CALL replaced by
555			   device-threads, if possible generic code around BUFQ
556			2. possibly use kcont() for async IO finished signaling
557			3. counter of pending and queued actions requestable
558			   by IOCTL interface?
559			4. implement `last minute buffer fixup' calls and maybe
560			   even finished I/O calls as vnode operations
561			...

1075Notes:		This branch needs more debugging, testing, and more
1076		ports need to be converted to the new world order.
1077
1078		The following processors have had cache ops
1079		written:
1080
1081			* R2000/R3000 (cache_r3k) -- light testing,
1082			  needs to be beat on a lot more to make
1083			  sure it's working.
1084
1085			* R4000/R4400 (cache_r4k) -- mhitch@NetBSD.org
1086			  tracked down a bug, which has been fixed.
1087
1088			  Confirmed working on R4000-with-L2.
1089
1090			  Confirmed working on R4400-no-L2 and
1091			  R4400-with-L2.
1092
1093			* R4600/R5000 (cache_r5k) -- shin@NetBSD.org
1094			  has committed fixes to this code.
1095
1096			  Confirmed working on R4600 v2 (SGI IP-22 with
1097			  no SysAD L2 cache).
1098
1099			  Confirmed working on RM5260 (Algorithmics P-5064).
1100
1101			* TX39 (cache_tx39) -- uch@NetBSD.org has
1102			  committed fixes to this code.  Awaiting
1103			  confirmation that it is working properly.
1104
1105			* R5900 (cache_r5900) -- uch@NetBSD.org has
1106			  written this code and tested it on a
1107			  PlayStation 2.
1108
1109		The following ports have been updated to compile (and
1110		use optimized-for-processor bus_dma routines).  Those
1111		that have been tested and work are marked with [WORKING].
1112
1113			* algor		[WORKING]

1236Base tag:	wrstuden-devbsize-base
1237Maintainer:	Bill Studenmund <wrstuden@NetBSD.org>
1238Scope:		kernel
1239Notes:		No longer active due to lack of time, and introduction
1240		of UBC. In terms of UBC, the primary cache for
1241		file data is the VM cache, which needs to operate
1242		in terms of VM pages. As no existing device has native
1243		pages the same size as our VM pages, there already is
1244		a mapping going on between the VM system and the
1245		underlying blocks. So it would be easier and cleaner
1246		to adjust that to deal w/ different block sizes.
1247		Also with UBC, all i/o is in terms of bytes at an offset
1248		with a certain length, so the exact block size isn't a big
1249		deal.
1250
1251		Any other wrstuden-devbsize tag may (and should) go away.

1287		How to adapt a port?
1288
1289		- unify cpu_switch, cpu_exit, cpu_switchto into
1290		  a single cpu_switchto.  see cpu_switchto.9.
1291
1292		- implement cpu_idle.  see cpu_idle.9.
1293
1294		- add a flag argument to cpu_need_resched.
1295		  handle RESCHED_IMMED flag, which means "cause a preemption
1296		  as soon as possible."  eg. in the case of MULTIPROCESSOR,
1297		  send an IPI to the target cpu.
1298
1299		- "curlwp == NULL" is not a valid check for idle state anymore.
1300		  use "(curlwp->l_flag & LW_IDLE) != 0" instead.  curlwp is
1301		  almost always non-NULL, with exceptions like early on boot.
1302
1303		- remove idle pcbs.
1304
1305		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) tweak processor trampoline code.
1306
1307		- (if MULTIPROCESSOR) call mi_cpu_attach when attaching
1308		  secondary processors.
1309
1310		- (if schedhz!=0) call schedclock regardless of the value of
1311		  curlwp.
1312
1313		- of course, update MD users of scheduler/switching API.
