Add a new physical memory allocator. However, do not yet connect it to the build. This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...). The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld. This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored. Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate that this is true in general of machines with a direct map. Approved by: re

Change the management of cached pages (PQ_CACHE) in two fundamental ways: (1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the object's lock or the page queues lock. This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon. Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache(). However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock. Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead, this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary splay tree and memq. (2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will succeed. Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9) specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

Introduce vm_reserv_reclaim_contig(). This function is used by contigmalloc(9) as a last resort to steal pages from an inactive, partially-used superpage reservation. Rename vm_reserv_reclaim() to vm_reserv_reclaim_inactive() and refactor it so that a separate subroutine is responsible for breaking the selected reservation. This subroutine is also used by vm_reserv_reclaim_contig().

Redo the page table page allocation on MIPS, as suggested by alc@. The UMA zone based allocation is replaced by a scheme that creates a new free page list for the KSEG0 region, and a new function in sys/vm that allocates pages from a specific free page list. This also fixes a race condition introduced by the UMA based page table page allocation code. Dropping the page queue and pmap locks before the call to uma_zfree, and re-acquiring them afterwards will introduce a race condtion(noted by alc@). The changes are : - Revert the earlier changes in MIPS pmap.c that added UMA zone for page table pages. - Add a new freelist VM_FREELIST_HIGHMEM to MIPS vmparam.h for memory that is not directly mapped (in 32bit kernel). Normal page allocations will first try the HIGHMEM freelist and then the default(direct mapped) freelist. - Add a new function 'vm_page_t vm_page_alloc_freelist(int flind, int order, int req)' to vm/vm_page.c to allocate a page from a specified freelist. The MIPS page table pages will be allocated using this function from the freelist containing direct mapped pages. - Move the page initialization code from vm_phys_alloc_contig() to a new function vm_page_alloc_init(), and use this function to initialize pages in vm_page_alloc_freelist() too. - Split the function vm_phys_alloc_pages(int pool, int order) to create vm_phys_alloc_freelist_pages(int flind, int pool, int order), and use this function from both vm_page_alloc_freelist() and vm_phys_alloc_pages().

Redo the page table page allocation on MIPS, as suggested by alc@. The UMA zone based allocation is replaced by a scheme that creates a new free page list for the KSEG0 region, and a new function in sys/vm that allocates pages from a specific free page list. This also fixes a race condition introduced by the UMA based page table page allocation code. Dropping the page queue and pmap locks before the call to uma_zfree, and re-acquiring them afterwards will introduce a race condtion(noted by alc@). The changes are : - Revert the earlier changes in MIPS pmap.c that added UMA zone for page table pages. - Add a new freelist VM_FREELIST_HIGHMEM to MIPS vmparam.h for memory that is not directly mapped (in 32bit kernel). Normal page allocations will first try the HIGHMEM freelist and then the default(direct mapped) freelist. - Add a new function 'vm_page_t vm_page_alloc_freelist(int flind, int order, int req)' to vm/vm_page.c to allocate a page from a specified freelist. The MIPS page table pages will be allocated using this function from the freelist containing direct mapped pages. - Move the page initialization code from vm_phys_alloc_contig() to a new function vm_page_alloc_init(), and use this function to initialize pages in vm_page_alloc_freelist() too. - Split the function vm_phys_alloc_pages(int pool, int order) to create vm_phys_alloc_freelist_pages(int flind, int pool, int order), and use this function from both vm_page_alloc_freelist() and vm_phys_alloc_pages().

Add a new physical memory allocator. However, do not yet connect it to the build. This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...). The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed objects and page table pages.

Change the management of cached pages (PQ_CACHE) in two fundamental ways: (1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the object's lock or the page queues lock. This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon. Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache(). However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock. Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead, this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary splay tree and memq. (2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will succeed. Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9) specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

Add a new physical memory allocator. However, do not yet connect it to the build. This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...). The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld. This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored. Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate that this is true in general of machines with a direct map. Approved by: re

Change the management of cached pages (PQ_CACHE) in two fundamental ways: (1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the object's lock or the page queues lock. This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon. Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache(). However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock. Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead, this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary splay tree and memq. (2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will succeed. Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated.

Add support to the virtual memory system for configuring machine- dependent memory attributes: Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t. The new name reflects the fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior. Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory attributes that will be given to an object's pages. Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes. Add full support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on the other architectures. The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the direct map. The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(), and the device pager: kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386. vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default memory attributes. Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping. Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different mappings on amd64 and i386. In addition, the device pager provides a warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

Redo the page table page allocation on MIPS, as suggested by alc@. The UMA zone based allocation is replaced by a scheme that creates a new free page list for the KSEG0 region, and a new function in sys/vm that allocates pages from a specific free page list. This also fixes a race condition introduced by the UMA based page table page allocation code. Dropping the page queue and pmap locks before the call to uma_zfree, and re-acquiring them afterwards will introduce a race condtion(noted by alc@). The changes are : - Revert the earlier changes in MIPS pmap.c that added UMA zone for page table pages. - Add a new freelist VM_FREELIST_HIGHMEM to MIPS vmparam.h for memory that is not directly mapped (in 32bit kernel). Normal page allocations will first try the HIGHMEM freelist and then the default(direct mapped) freelist. - Add a new function 'vm_page_t vm_page_alloc_freelist(int flind, int order, int req)' to vm/vm_page.c to allocate a page from a specified freelist. The MIPS page table pages will be allocated using this function from the freelist containing direct mapped pages. - Move the page initialization code from vm_phys_alloc_contig() to a new function vm_page_alloc_init(), and use this function to initialize pages in vm_page_alloc_freelist() too. - Split the function vm_phys_alloc_pages(int pool, int order) to create vm_phys_alloc_freelist_pages(int flind, int pool, int order), and use this function from both vm_page_alloc_freelist() and vm_phys_alloc_pages().

The MIPS page table pages will be allocated using this function from the freelist containing direct mapped pages. - Move the page initialization code from vm_phys_alloc_contig() to a new function vm_page_alloc_init(), and use this function to initialize pages in vm_page_alloc_freelist() too. - Split the function vm_phys_alloc_pages(int pool, int order) to create vm_phys_alloc_freelist_pages(int flind, int pool, int order), and use this function from both vm_page_alloc_freelist() and vm_phys_alloc_pages().

Change the management of cached pages (PQ_CACHE) in two fundamental ways: (1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the object's lock or the page queues lock. This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon. Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache(). However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock. Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead, this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary splay tree and memq. (2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will succeed. Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9) specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.

Add a new physical memory allocator. However, do not yet connect it to the build. This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...). The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld. This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored. Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate that this is true in general of machines with a direct map. Approved by: re

Eliminate two unused functions: vm_phys_alloc_pages() and vm_phys_free_pages(). Rename vm_phys_alloc_pages_locked() to vm_phys_alloc_pages() and vm_phys_free_pages_locked() to vm_phys_free_pages(). Add comments regarding the need for the free page queues lock to be held by callers to these functions. No functional changes. Approved by: re (hrs)

Implement a mechanism within vm_phys_alloc_contig() to defer all necessary calls to vdrop() until after the free page queues lock is released. This eliminates repeatedly releasing and reacquiring the free page queues lock each time the last cached page is reclaimed from a vnode-backed object.
