THINGS TO BE DONE:
@@ -32,60 +32,30 @@ Suggestions, comments, etc to projects@N
High Kernel:
swap fixes:
swap to file of dynamic size; see apollo
- nfs:
- kernel support for lockd(8), lockf(3)
User programs:
rwall nfs-mountees on shutdown
- add detachment to window(1)
- clean up gas config files, set up common defines
-
-Documentation:
- modify sys docs to reflect NetBSD/arch-specific stuff
- clean up src/share/man/{man0,tools} so that we can generate a printable
- version from the manpages again.
i386 kernel support:
- better ways of accessing BIOS, i/o space. some exportable to
- user space. See mach3,linux dos emulator
- i686 optimized versions of copyin/copyout/memcpy/memset/etc. lazy
- floating-point context switching should be implemented as well.
make use of sysenter/sysexit instructions on PIII/4 and Athlon for
reducing syscall overhead.
This is a list of suggested smaller projects (in no particular order):
+ speed up sort(1) by using mmap(2) rather than temp files
-+ autoconf version of nawk, for use in non-NetBSD pkgsrc
+ port valgrind to NetBSD for pkgsrc, then use it to do an audit of
any memory leakage
-+ help in implementing various things in pkgsrc
+ simplify some of the quirks in our build system
-+ help out with scripts for tgm/autobuild
-+ some PR fixing/re-categorising/investigating/closing
+ investigate zebra or quagga in gnusrc rather than routed
-+ do a type-punned pointer sweep for gcc3 (and fix the problems, not
- the symptoms)
-+ kernel fine-grained locking
++ do a type-punned pointer sweep for -fstrict-aliases (and fix the
+ problems, not the symptoms)
+ write a BSD-licensed web browser
+ perhaps look at putting wonka into src/ (with uuencoded class lib?)
-+ document autoconf framework
+ write an overview document for openssl and certificates
+ documentation project help
-+ investigate which userland utilities and daemons would benefit from
- kqueue, and rewrite them
-+ add a native scheme interpreter
-+ add platform support for TenDRA compiler suite
-+ merge moused(8) with wsmoused(8) as a new work mode (i.e. serial)
-+ re-design our mbuf/network buffer memory handling so that it is simpler
- and can handle zero copy tcp
-+ re-design our signal handling path. It is far too complicated and will not
- be easy to accommodate MP code
+ Examine our vnode locking and vfs layer and see what needs to be changed
for locking in layered filesystems to really work
+ Make mountd(8) update the in-kernel exports list for each file system
atomically. Many parts of the utility will need a rewrite, but the kernel
functionality is already there (just enable the "notyet" blocks of code in
sys/nfs/nfs_export.c).
-+ Kerberize more services like ftp, ftpd, rsh, rshd, rlogind, ...
