caller to vm_page_grab(). Although this gives VM_ALLOC_ZERO a
different meaning for vm_page_grab() than for vm_page_alloc(), I feel
such change is necessary to accomplish other goals. Specifically, I
want to make the PG_ZERO flag immutable between the time it is
allocated by vm_page_alloc() and freed by vm_page_free() or
vm_page_free_zero() to avoid locking overheads. Once we gave up on
the ability to automatically recognize a zeroed page upon entry to
vm_page_free(), the ability to mutate the PG_ZERO flag became useless.
Instead, I would like to say that "Once a page becomes valid, its
PG_ZERO flag must be ignored."
would actually map the file with read access enabled. According to
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/mmap.html this is
an error. Similarly, an madvise(..., MADV_WILLNEED) would enable read
access on a virtual address range that was PROT_NONE.
The solution implemented herein is (1) to pass a vm_prot_t to
vm_map_pmap_enter() describing the allowed access and (2) to make
vm_map_pmap_enter() responsible for understanding the limitations of
pmap_enter_quick().

pmap. For the kernel pmap, Giant is not required. In general, for
other pmaps, Giant is required by i386's pmap_pte() implementation.
Specifically, the use of PMAP2/PADDR2 is synchronized by Giant.
Note: In principle, updates to the kernel pmap's wired count could be
lost without Giant. However, in practice, we never use the kernel
pmap's wired count. This will be resolved when pmap locking appears.
- With the above change, cpu_thread_clean() and uma_large_free() need

ever since alpha/alpha/pmap.c revision 1.81 introduced the list allpmaps,
there has been no reason for having this function on Alpha. Briefly,
when pmap_growkernel() relied upon the list of all processes to find and
update the various pmaps to reflect a growth in the kernel's valid
address space, pmap_init2() served to avoid a race between pmap
initialization and pmap_growkernel(). Specifically, pmap_pinit2() was
responsible for initializing the kernel portions of the pmap and
pmap_pinit2() was called after the process structure contained a pointer
to the new pmap for use by pmap_growkernel(). Thus, an update to the
kernel's address space might be applied to the new pmap unnecessarily,
but an update would never be lost.

still free after dropping and reacquiring the free page queue lock, the
physical contiguity of the page can not change, making this check
unnecessary. This check was wrong in that it could cause an out-of-bounds
array access.

- struct plimit includes a mutex to protect a reference count. The plimit
structure is treated similarly to struct ucred in that is is always copy
on write, so having a reference to a structure is sufficient to read from
it without needing a further lock.
- The proc lock protects the p_limit pointer and must be held while reading
limits from a process to keep the limit structure from changing out from
under you while reading from it.
- Various global limits that are ints are not protected by a lock since
int writes are atomic on all the archs we support and thus a lock
wouldn't buy us anything.
- All accesses to individual resource limits from a process are abstracted
behind a simple lim_rlimit(), lim_max(), and lim_cur() API that return
either an rlimit, or the current or max individual limit of the specified
resource from a process.
- dosetrlimit() was renamed to kern_setrlimit() to match existing style of
other similar syscall helper functions.
- The alpha OSF/1 compat layer no longer calls getrlimit() and setrlimit()

- The svr4 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits calls,
but uses lim_rlimit() and kern_setrlimit() instead.
- The ibcs2 compat no longer uses the stackgap for resource limits. It
also no longer uses the stackgap for accessing sysctl's for the
ibcs2_sysconf() syscall but uses kernel_sysctl() instead. As a result,
ibcs2_sysconf() no longer needs Giant.
