ac59490b5e Convert all pmap_kenter/pmap_kremove pairs in MI code to use pmap_qenter/
pmap_qremove.  pmap_kenter is not safe to use in MI code because it is not
guaranteed to flush the mapping from the tlb on all cpus.  If the process
in question is preempted and migrates cpus between the call to pmap_kenter
and pmap_kremove, the original cpu will be left with stale mappings in its
tlb.  This is currently not a problem for i386 because we do not use PG_G on
SMP, and thus all mappings are flushed from the tlb on context switches, not
just user mappings.  This is not the case on all architectures, and if PG_G
is to be used with SMP on i386 it will be a problem.  This was committed by
peter earlier as part of his fine grained tlb shootdown work for i386, which
was backed out for other reasons.

0d2af52141 Introduce the new 64-bit size disk block, daddr64_t. Change
the bio and buffer structures to have daddr64_t bio_pblkno,
b_blkno, and b_lblkno fields which allows access to disks
larger than a Terabyte in size. This change also requires
that the VOP_BMAP vnode operation accept and return daddr64_t
blocks. This delta should not affect system operation in
any way. It merely sets up the necessary interfaces to allow
the development of disk drivers that work with these larger
disk block addresses. It also allows for the development of
UFS2 which will use 64-bit block addresses.

3ebeaf5984 This fixes a large number of bugs in our NFS client side code. A recent
commit by Kirk also fixed a softupdates bug that could easily be triggered
by server side NFS.

	* An edge case with shared R+W mmap()'s and truncate whereby
	  the system would inappropriately clear the dirty bits on
	  still-dirty data.  (applicable to all filesystems)

	  THIS FIX TEMPORARILY DISABLED PENDING FURTHER TESTING.
	  see vm/vm_page.c line 1641

	* The straddle case for VM pages and buffer cache buffers when
	  truncating.  (applicable to NFS client side)

	* Possible SMP database corruption due to vm_pager_unmap_page()
	  not clearing the TLB for the other cpu's.  (applicable to NFS
	  client side but could effect all filesystems).  Note: not
	  considered serious since the corruption occurs beyond the file
	  EOF.

	* When flusing a dirty buffer due to B_CACHE getting cleared,
	  we were accidently setting B_CACHE again (that is, bwrite() sets
	  B_CACHE), when we really want it to stay clear after the write
	  is complete.  This resulted in a corrupt buffer.  (applicable
	  to all filesystems but probably only triggered by NFS)

	* We have to call vtruncbuf() when ftruncate()ing to remove
	  any buffer cache buffers.  This is still tentitive, I may
	  be able to remove it due to the second bug fix.  (applicable
	  to NFS client side)

	* vnode_pager_setsize() race against nfs_vinvalbuf()... we have
	  to set n_size before calling nfs_vinvalbuf or the NFS code
	  may recursively vnode_pager_setsize() to the original value
	  before the truncate.  This is what was causing the user mmap
	  bus faults in the nfs tester program.  (applicable to NFS
	  client side)

	* Fix to softupdates (see ufs/ffs/ffs_inode.c 1.73, commit made
	  by Kirk).

7e76bb562e Implement IO_NOWDRAIN and B_NOWDRAIN - prevents the buffer cache from blocking
in wdrain during a write.  This flag needs to be used in devices whos
strategy routines turn-around and issue another high level I/O, such as
when MD turns around and issues a VOP_WRITE to vnode backing store, in order
to avoid deadlocking the dirty buffer draining code.

Remove a vprintf() warning from MD when the backing vnode is found to be
in-use.  The syncer of buf_daemon could be flushing the backing vnode at
the time of an MD operation so the warning is not correct.

ac8f990bde This patch implements O_DIRECT about 80% of the way. It takes a patchset
Tor created a while ago, removes the raw I/O piece (that has cache coherency
problems), and adds a buffer cache / VM freeing piece.

Essentially this patch causes O_DIRECT I/O to not be left in the cache, but
does not prevent it from going through the cache, hence the 80%.  For
the last 20% we need a method by which the I/O can be issued directly to
buffer supplied by the user process and bypass the buffer cache entirely,
but still maintain cache coherency.

I also have the code working under -stable but the changes made to sys/file.h
may not be MFCable, so an MFC is not on the table yet.

2395531439 Introduce a global lock for the vm subsystem (vm_mtx).
vm_mtx does not recurse and is required for most low level
vm operations.

faults can not be taken without holding Giant.

Memory subsystems can now call the base page allocators safely.

Almost all atomic ops were removed as they are covered under the
vm mutex.

Alpha and ia64 now need to catch up to i386's trap handlers.

FFS and NFS have been tested, other filesystems will need minor
changes (grabbing the vm lock when twiddling page properties).

This patch takes a more general approach and adds a bp->b_op

The success of this patch depends on bp->b_op being initialized
all relevant places for some value of "relevant" which is not
easy to determine.  For now the buffers have grown a b_magic
element which will make such issues a tiny bit easier to debug.

9ed346bab0 Change and clean the mutex lock interface.
mtx_enter(lock, type) becomes:

mtx_lock(lock) for sleep locks (MTX_DEF-initialized locks)
mtx_lock_spin(lock) for spin locks (MTX_SPIN-initialized)

similarily, for releasing a lock, we now have:

mtx_unlock(lock) for MTX_DEF and mtx_unlock_spin(lock) for MTX_SPIN.
We change the caller interface for the two different types of locks
because the semantics are entirely different for each case, and this
makes it explicitly clear and, at the same time, it rids us of the
extra `type' argument.

The enter->lock and exit->unlock change has been made with the idea
that we're "locking data" and not "entering locked code" in mind.

Further, remove all additional "flags" previously passed to the
lock acquire/release routines with the exception of two:

MTX_QUIET and MTX_NOSWITCH

The functionality of these flags is preserved and they can be passed
to the lock/unlock routines by calling the corresponding wrappers:

mtx_{lock, unlock}_flags(lock, flag(s)) and
mtx_{lock, unlock}_spin_flags(lock, flag(s)) for MTX_DEF and MTX_SPIN
locks, respectively.

Re-inline some lock acq/rel code; in the sleep lock case, we only
inline the _obtain_lock()s in order to ensure that the inlined code
fits into a cache line. In the spin lock case, we inline recursion and
actually only perform a function call if we need to spin. This change
has been made with the idea that we generally tend to avoid spin locks
and that also the spin locks that we do have and are heavily used
(i.e. sched_lock) do recurse, and therefore in an effort to reduce
function call overhead for some architectures (such as alpha), we
inline recursion for this case.

Create a new malloc type for the witness code and retire from using
the M_DEV type. The new type is called M_WITNESS and is only declared
if WITNESS is enabled.

Begin cleaning up some machdep/mutex.h code - specifically updated the
"optimized" inlined code in alpha/mutex.h and wrote MTX_LOCK_SPIN
and MTX_UNLOCK_SPIN asm macros for the i386/mutex.h as we presently
need those.

Finally, caught up to the interface changes in all sys code.

4e71e795a1 This commit represents work mainly submitted by Tor and slightly modified
by myself.  It solves a serious vm_map corruption problem that can occur
with the buffer cache when block sizes > 64K are used.  This code has been
heavily tested in -stable but only tested somewhat on -current.  An MFC
will occur in a few days.  My additions include the vm_map_simplify_entry()
and minor buffer cache boundry case fix.

Make the buffer cache use a system map for buffer cache KVM rather then a
normal map.

Ensure that VM objects are not allocated for system maps.  There were cases
where a buffer map could wind up with a backing VM object -- normally
harmless, but this could also result in the buffer cache blocking in places
where it assumes no blocking will occur, possibly resulting in corrupted
maps.

Fix a minor boundry case in the buffer cache size limit is reached that
could result in non-optimal code.

Add vm_map_simplify_entry() calls to prevent 'creeping proliferation'
of vm_map_entry's in the buffer cache's vm_map.  Previously only a simple
linear optimization was made.  (The buffer vm_map typically has only a
handful of vm_map_entry's.  This stabilizes it at that level permanently).

2b6b0df712 This implements a better launder limiting solution. There was a solution
in 4.2-REL which I ripped out in -stable and -current when implementing the
low-memory handling solution.  However, maxlaunder turns out to be the saving
grace in certain very heavily loaded systems (e.g. newsreader box).  The new
algorithm limits the number of pages laundered in the first pageout daemon
pass.  If that is not sufficient then suceessive will be run without any
limit.

Write I/O is now pipelined using two sysctls, vfs.lorunningspace and
vfs.hirunningspace.  This prevents excessive buffered writes in the
disk queues which cause long (multi-second) delays for reads.  It leads
to more stable (less jerky) and generally faster I/O streaming to disk
by allowing required read ops (e.g. for indirect blocks and such) to occur
without interrupting the write stream, amoung other things.

NOTE: eventually, filesystem write I/O pipelining needs to be done on a
per-device basis.  At the moment it is globalized.

936524aa02 Implement a low-memory deadlock solution.
Removed most of the hacks that were trying to deal with low-memory
    situations prior to now.

    The new code is based on the concept that I/O must be able to function in
    a low memory situation.  All major modules related to I/O (except
    networking) have been adjusted to allow allocation out of the system
    reserve memory pool.  These modules now detect a low memory situation but
    rather then block they instead continue to operate, then return resources
    to the memory pool instead of cache them or leave them wired.

    Code has been added to stall in a low-memory situation prior to a vnode
    being locked.

    Thus situations where a process blocks in a low-memory condition while
    holding a locked vnode have been reduced to near nothing.  Not only will
    I/O continue to operate, but many prior deadlock conditions simply no
    longer exist.

Implement a number of VFS/BIO fixes

	(found by Ian): in biodone(), bogus-page replacement code, the loop
        was not properly incrementing loop variables prior to a continue
        statement.  We do not believe this code can be hit anyway but we
        aren't taking any chances.  We'll turn the whole section into a
        panic (as it already is in brelse()) after the release is rolled.

	In biodone(), the foff calculation was incorrectly
        clamped to the iosize, causing the wrong foff to be calculated
        for pages in the case of an I/O error or biodone() called without
        initiating I/O.  The problem always caused a panic before.  Now it
        doesn't.  The problem is mainly an issue with NFS.

	Fixed casts for ~PAGE_MASK.  This code worked properly before only
        because the calculations use signed arithmatic.  Better to properly
        extend PAGE_MASK first before inverting it for the 64 bit masking
        op.

	In brelse(), the bogus_page fixup code was improperly throwing
        away the original contents of 'm' when it did the j-loop to
        fix the bogus pages.  The result was that it would potentially
        invalidate parts of the *WRONG* page(!), leading to corruption.

	There may still be cases where a background bitmap write is
        being duplicated, causing potential corruption.  We have identified
        a potentially serious bug related to this but the fix is still TBD.
        So instead this patch contains a KASSERT to detect the problem
  	and panic the machine rather then continue to corrupt the filesystem.
	The problem does not occur very often..  it is very hard to
	reproduce, and it may or may not be the cause of the corruption
	people have reported.

to complete, then sync's the filesystem to disk and returns. The
function vfs_write_resume allows the suspended write operations to
begin again. Gating is not added by default for all filesystems as
for SMP systems it adds two extra locks to such critical kernel
paths as the write system call. Thus, gating should only be added
as needed.

Details on the use and current status of snapshots in FFS can be
found in /sys/ufs/ffs/README.snapshot so for brevity and timelyness
is not included here. Unless and until you create a snapshot file,
these changes should have no effect on your system (famous last words).

B_WRITE was bogusly defined as zero giving rise to obvious coding

Also eliminate the redundant struct buf flag B_CALL, it can just
as efficiently be done by comparing b_iodone to NULL.

Should you get a panic or drop into the debugger, complaining about
"b_iocmd", don't continue.  It is likely to write on your disk

cf60e8e4bf Several performance improvements for soft updates have been added:
1) Fastpath deletions. When a file is being deleted, check to see if it
   was so recently created that its inode has not yet been written to
   disk. If so, the delete can proceed to immediately free the inode.
2) Background writes: No file or block allocations can be done while the
   bitmap is being written to disk. To avoid these stalls, the bitmap is
   copied to another buffer which is written thus leaving the original
   available for futher allocations.
3) Link count tracking. Constantly track the difference in i_effnlink and
   i_nlink so that inodes that have had no change other than i_effnlink
   need not be written.
4) Identify buffers with rollback dependencies so that the buffer flushing
   daemon can choose to skip over them.

ad8ac923fa These changes appear to give us benefits with both small (32MB) and
large (1G) memory machine configurations.  I was able to run 'dbench 32'
on a 32MB system without bring the machine to a grinding halt.

    * buffer cache hash table now dynamically allocated.  This will
      have no effect on memory consumption for smaller systems and
      will help scale the buffer cache for larger systems.

    * minor enhancement to pmap_clearbit().  I noticed that
      all the calls to it used constant arguments.  Making
      it an inline allows the constants to propogate to
      deeper inlines and should produce better code.

    * removal of inherent vfs_ioopt support through the emplacement
      of appropriate #ifdef's, with John's permission.  If we do not
      find a use for it by the end of the year we will remove it entirely.

    * removal of getnewbufloops* counters & sysctl's - no longer
      necessary for debugging, getnewbuf() is now optimal.

    * buffer hash table functions removed from sys/buf.h and localized
      to vfs_bio.c

    * VFS_BIO_NEED_DIRTYFLUSH flag and support code added
      ( bwillwrite() ), allowing processes to block when too many dirty
      buffers are present in the system.

    * removal of a softdep test in bdwrite() that is no longer necessary
      now that bdwrite() no longer attempts to flush dirty buffers.

    * slight optimization added to bqrelse() - there is no reason
      to test for available buffer space on B_DELWRI buffers.

    * addition of reverse-scanning code to vfs_bio_awrite().
      vfs_bio_awrite() will attempt to locate clusterable areas
      in both the forward and reverse direction relative to the
      offset of the buffer passed to it.  This will probably not
      make much of a difference now, but I believe we will start
      to rely on it heavily in the future if we decide to shift
      some of the burden of the clustering closer to the actual
      I/O initiation.

    * Removal of the newbufcnt and lastnewbuf counters that Kirk
      added.  They do not fix any race conditions that haven't already
      been fixed by the gbincore() test done after the only call
      to getnewbuf().  getnewbuf() is a static, so there is no chance
      of it being misused by other modules.  ( Unless Kirk can think
      of a specific thing that this code fixes.  I went through it
      very carefully and didn't see anything ).

    * removal of VOP_ISLOCKED() check in flushbufqueues().  I do not
      think this check is necessary, the buffer should flush properly
      whether the vnode is locked or not. ( yes? ).

    * removal of extra arguments passed to getnewbuf() that are not
      necessary.

    * missed cluster_wbuild() that had to be a cluster_wbuild_wb() in
      vfs_cluster.c

    * vn_write() now calls bwillwrite() *PRIOR* to locking the vnode,
      which should greatly aid flushing operations in heavy load
      situations - both the pageout and update daemons will be able
      to operate more efficiently.

    * removal of b_usecount.  We may add it back in later but for now
      it is useless.  Prior implementations of the buffer cache never
      had enough buffers for it to be useful, and current implementations
      which make more buffers available might not benefit relative to
      the amount of sophistication required to implement a b_usecount.
      Straight LRU should work just as well, especially when most things
      are VMIO backed.  I expect that (even though John will not like
      this assumption) directories will become VMIO backed some point soon.

e929c00d23 The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having
QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN,
QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA.  With this patch clean
and dirty buffers have been separated.  Empty buffers with KVM
assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers.  getnewbuf()
has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion.  That is,
it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to
allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer
when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for
the buffer cache).

Buffer flushing has been reorganized.  Previously buffers were flushed
in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer
flushing to occur.  This resulted in processes blocking on conditions
unrelated to what they were doing.  This also resulted in inappropriate
VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to
flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation
where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that
was only partially fixed in prior commits.  We have added a new daemon
called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers
when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit.
This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers
are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block.

The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the
8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of
memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed
somewhat.  The number of physical buffers has been increased with the
intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future.

reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which
could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions,
such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed.  This
algorithm has been changed.  reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted
if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to
the head of the dirtyblkhd list.  The new algorithm is deterministic but
not perfect.  The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously
occured when write_behind was turned off in the system.

The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive
P_BUFEXHAUST bit.  This bit allows processes working with filesystem
buffers to use available emergency reserves.  Normal processes do not set
this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves.  The purpose
of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.

A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c.

ddebd8794d Hopefully fix the remaining glitches with the BUF_*() changes. This should
(really this time) fix pageout to swap and a couple of clustering cases.

This simplifies BUF_KERNPROC() so that it unconditionally reassigns the
lock owner rather than testing B_ASYNC and having the caller decide when
to do the reassign.  At present this is required because some places use
B_CALL/b_iodone to free the buffers without B_ASYNC being set.  Also,
vfs_cluster.c explicitly calls BUF_KERNPROC() when attaching the buffers
rather than the parent walking the cluster_head tailq.

45623f31bc When allocating new buffers in getnewbuf, there are several points
at which we may sleep. So, after completing our buffer allocation
we must ensure that another process has not come along and allocated
a different buffer with the same identity. We do this by keeping a
global counter of the number of buffers that getnewbuf has allocated.
We save this count when we enter getnewbuf and check it when we are
about to return. If it has changed, then other buffers were allocated
while we were in getnewbuf, so we must return NULL to let our parent
know that it must recheck to see if it still needs the new buffer.
Hopefully this fix will eliminate the creation of duplicate buffers
with the same identity and the obscure corruptions that they cause.

4221e284a3 The VFS/BIO subsystem contained a number of hacks in order to optimize
piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS.  These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap().  I've removed
them.  Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write.  NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files.  For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference.  The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations.  NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write.  There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.

The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault.  This
is not correct operation.  The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid.  A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid.  This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap().  The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations.  Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.

getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten.  B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation.  B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store.  B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa).  biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes.  B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated.  VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE.  This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.

There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount.  These have been fixed.  getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.

Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made.  A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain.  The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.

Submitted by:	Matt Dillon <dillon@frebsd.org>

This change implements a relatively sophisticated fix to getnewbuf().
There were two problems with getnewbuf(). First, the writerecursion
can lead to a system stack overflow when you have NFS and/or VN
devices in the system. Second, the free/dirty buffer accounting was
completely broken. Not only did the nfs routines blow it trying to
manually account for the buffer state, but the accounting that was
done did not work well with the purpose of their existance: figuring
out when getnewbuf() needs to sleep.

The meat of the change is to kern/vfs_bio.c. The remaining diffs are
all minor except for NFS, which includes both the fixes for bp
interaction AND fixes for a 'biodone(): buffer already done' lockup.
Sys/buf.h also contains a chaining structure which is not used by
this patchset but is used by other patches that are coming soon.
This patch deliniated by tags PRE_MAT_GETBUF and POST_MAT_GETBUF.

6cde7a165f Fixed two potentially serious classes of bugs:
1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to
   "size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others.
   This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by
   Terry Lambert.
   Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit
   byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the
   pagers and their callers to deal with this properly.
2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that
   caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing
   the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers.
   There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by
   macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay,
   however.

bef608bd7e Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11
problems.  Tor Egge and others have helped with various VM bugs
lately, but don't blame him -- blame me!!!

pmap.c:
1)	Create an object for kernel page table allocations.  This
	fixes a bogus allocation method previously used for such, by
	grabbing pages from the kernel object, using bogus pindexes.
	(This was a code cleanup, and perhaps a minor system stability
	 issue.)

pmap.c:
2)	Pre-set the modify and accessed bits when prudent.  This will
	decrease bus traffic under certain circumstances.

vfs_bio.c, vfs_cluster.c:
3)	Rather than calculating the beginning virtual byte offset
	multiple times, stick the offset into the buffer header, so
	that the calculated offset can be reused.  (Long long multiplies
	are often expensive, and this is a probably unmeasurable performance
	improvement, and code cleanup.)

vfs_bio.c:
4)	Handle write recursion more intelligently (but not perfectly) so
	that it is less likely to cause a system panic, and is also
	much more robust.

vfs_bio.c:
5)	getblk incorrectly wrote out blocks that are incorrectly sized.
	The problem is fixed, and writes blocks out ONLY when B_DELWRI
	is true.

vfs_bio.c:
6)	Check that already constituted buffers have fully valid pages.  If
	not, then make sure that the B_CACHE bit is not set. (This was
	a major source of Sig-11 type problems.)

vfs_bio.c:
7)	Fix a potential system deadlock due to an incorrectly specified
	sleep priority while waiting for a buffer write operation.  The
	change that I made opens the system up to serious problems, and
	we need to examine the issue of process sleep priorities.

vfs_cluster.c, vfs_bio.c:
8)	Make clustered reads work more correctly (and more completely)
	when buffers are already constituted, but not fully valid.
	(This was another system reliability issue.)

vfs_subr.c, ffs_inode.c:
9)	Create a vtruncbuf function, which is used by filesystems that
	can truncate files.  The vinvalbuf forced a file sync type operation,
	while vtruncbuf only invalidates the buffers past the new end of file,
	and also invalidates the appropriate pages.  (This was a system reliabiliy
	and performance issue.)

10)	Modify FFS to use vtruncbuf.

vm_object.c:
11)	Make the object rundown mechanism for OBJT_VNODE type objects work
	more correctly.  Included in that fix, create pager entries for
	the OBJT_DEAD pager type, so that paging requests that might slip
	in during race conditions are properly handled.  (This was a system
	reliability issue.)

vm_page.c:
12)	Make some of the page validation routines be a little less picky
	about arguments passed to them.  Also, support page invalidation
	change the object generation count so that we handle generation
	counts a little more robustly.

vm_pageout.c:
13)	Further reduce pageout daemon activity when the system doesn't
	need help from it.  There should be no additional performance
	decrease even when the pageout daemon is running.  (This was
	a significant performance issue.)

vnode_pager.c:
14)	Teach the vnode pager to handle race conditions during vnode
	deallocations.

8f9110f6a1 This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There
has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code.  These
problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can
still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances.  Most of
the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke
the vfs.ioopt code.  This code might have been committed seperately, but
almost everything is interrelated.

1)	Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that
	are fully valid.
2)	Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in
	kern_exec, we now free them.
3)	Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent
	(missing vp) state.
4)	Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse.  The previous
	code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances.
5)	Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release.
6)	Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK
	files in vfs_bio_awrite.  When the code is functional, I'll add back
	a cleaner version.
7)	The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were
	incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me.  Revert to the
	original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation.
8)	The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers
	more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed
	that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed.
9)	Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE.  The
	delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the
	length of the time intervals.
10)	Correct and clean-up spec_getpages.
11)	Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages.
12)	Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on
	the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.)
13)	Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS.
14)	Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from
	vm_map_clean.
15)	Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that
	fewer in-transit waits occur.  (use p->busy more for pageouts instead
	of PG_BUSY.)  Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for
	reads.
16)	It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy.  Make the
	page allocation code handle that case correctly.  (It should probably
	be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors
	robustly.  I'll probably add a printf.)
17)	Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep.  It didn't handle
	consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less
	lofty.  After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important
	to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and
	verify it's status (always.)
18)	In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up.
19)	Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush.
20)	Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag
	instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.

eaf13dd73a Change the busy page mgmt, so that when pages are freed, they
MUST be PG_BUSY.  It is bogus to free a page that isn't busy,
because it is in a state of being "unavailable" when being
freed.  The additional advantage is that the page_remove code
has a better cross-check that the page should be busy and
unavailable for other use.  There were some minor problems
with the collapse code, and this plugs those subtile "holes."

Also, the vfs_bio code wasn't checking correctly for PG_BUSY
pages.  I am going to develop a more consistant scheme for
grabbing pages, busy or otherwise.  For now, we are stuck
with the current morass.

2d8acc0f4a VM level code cleanups.
1)	Start using TSM.
	Struct procs continue to point to upages structure, after being freed.
	Struct vmspace continues to point to pte object and kva space for kstack.
	u_map is now superfluous.
2)	vm_map's don't need to be reference counted.  They always exist either
	in the kernel or in a vmspace.  The vmspaces are managed by reference
	counts.
3)	Remove the "wired" vm_map nonsense.
4)	No need to keep a cache of kernel stack kva's.
5)	Get rid of strange looking ++var, and change to var++.
6)	Change more data structures to use our "zone" allocator.  Added
	struct proc, struct vmspace and struct vnode.  This saves a significant
	amount of kva space and physical memory.  Additionally, this enables
	TSM for the zone managed memory.
7)	Keep ioopt disabled for now.
8)	Remove the now bogus "single use" map concept.
9)	Use generation counts or id's for data structures residing in TSM, where
	it allows us to avoid unneeded restart overhead during traversals, where
	blocking might occur.
10)	Account better for memory deficits, so the pageout daemon will be able
	to make enough memory available (experimental.)
11)	Fix some vnode locking problems. (From Tor, I think.)
12)	Add a check in ufs_lookup, to avoid lots of unneeded calls to bcmp.
	(experimental.)
13)	Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c
	code.  Use generation counts, get rid of unneded collpase operations,
	and clean up the cluster code.
14)	Make vm_zone more suitable for TSM.

This commit is partially as a result of discussions and contributions from
other people, including DG, Tor Egge, PHK, and probably others that I
have forgotten to attribute (so let me know, if I forgot.)

This is not the infamous, final cleanup of the vnode stuff, but a necessary
step.  Vnode mgmt should be correct, but things might still change, and
there is still some missing stuff (like ioopt, and physical backing of
non-merged cache files, debugging of layering concepts.)

95e5e988e0 Make our v_usecount vnode reference count work identically to the
original BSD code.  The association between the vnode and the vm_object
no longer includes reference counts.  The major difference is that
vm_object's are no longer freed gratuitiously from the vnode, and so
once an object is created for the vnode, it will last as long as the
vnode does.

When a vnode object reference count is incremented, then the underlying
vnode reference count is incremented also.  The two "objects" are now
more intimately related, and so the interactions are now much less
complex.

When vnodes are now normally placed onto the free queue with an object still
attached.  The rundown of the object happens at vnode rundown time, and
happens with exactly the same filesystem semantics of the original VFS
code.  There is absolutely no need for vnode_pager_uncache and other
travesties like that anymore.

A side-effect of these changes is that SMP locking should be much simpler,
the I/O copyin/copyout optimizations work, NFS should be more ponderable,
and further work on layered filesystems should be less frustrating, because
of the totally coherent management of the vnode objects and vnodes.

Please be careful with your system while running this code, but I would
greatly appreciate feedback as soon a reasonably possible.

ab36c06737 init_main.c subr_autoconf.c:
Add support for "interrupt driven configuration hooks".
	A component of the kernel can register a hook, most likely
	during auto-configuration, and receive a callback once
	interrupt services are available.  This callback will occur before
	the root and dump devices are configured, so the configuration
	task can affect the selection of those two devices or complete
	any tasks that need to be performed prior to launching init.
	System boot is posponed so long as a hook is registered.  The
	hook owner is responsible for removing the hook once their task
	is complete or the system boot can continue.

kern_acct.c kern_clock.c kern_exit.c kern_synch.c kern_time.c:
	Change the interface and implementation for the kernel callout
	service.  The new implemntaion is based on the work of
	Adam M. Costello and George Varghese, published in a technical
	report entitled "Redesigning the BSD Callout and Timer Facilities".
	The interface used in FreeBSD is a little different than the one
	outlined in the paper.  The new function prototypes are:

	struct callout_handle timeout(void (*func)(void *),
				      void *arg, int ticks);

	void untimeout(void (*func)(void *), void *arg,
		       struct callout_handle handle);

	If a client wishes to remove a timeout, it must store the
	callout_handle returned by timeout and pass it to untimeout.

	The new implementation gives 0(1) insert and removal of callouts
	making this interface scale well even for applications that
	keep 100s of callouts outstanding.

	See the updated timeout.9 man page for more details.

6b195d32a1 Fix a problem with the VN device. Specifically, the VN device can
cause a problem of spiraling death due to buffer resource limitations.
The vfs_bio code in general had little ability to handle buffer resource
management, and now it does.  Also, there are a lot more knobs for tuning the
vfs_bio code now.  The knobs came free because of the need that there
always be some immediately available buffers (non-delayed or locked) for
use.  Note that the buffer cache code is much less likely to get bogged
down with lots of delayed writes, even more so than before.

bad324ca54 Fixed livelock in getnewbuf().
It is possible for multiple process to sleep concurrently waiting
for a buffer.  When the buffer shortage is a shortage of space but
not a shortage of buffer headers, the processes took turns creating
empty buffers and waking each other to advertise the brelse() of
the empties; progress was never made because tsleep() always found
another high-priority process to run and everything was done at
splbio(), so vfs_update never had a chance to flush delayed writes,
not to mention that i/o never had a chance to complete.

The problem seems to be rare in practice, but it can easily be
reproduced by misusing block devices, at least for sufficently slow
devices on machines with a sufficiently small buffer cache.  E.g.,
`tar cvf /dev/fd0 /kernel' on an 8MB system with no disk in fd0
causes the problem quickly; the same command with a disk in fd0
causes the problem not quite as quickly; and people have reported
problems newfs'ing file systems on block devices.

Block devices only cause this problem indirectly.  They are pessimized
for time and space, and the space pessimization causes the shortage
(it manifests as internal fragmentation in buffer_map).

This should be fixed in 2.2.

scheme.  Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected

This scheme manages the kva space similar to the buffers themselves.  If
there isn't enough kva space because of usage or fragementation, buffers
will be reclaimed until a buffer allocation is successful.  This scheme
should be very resistant to fragmentation problems until/if the LFS code
is fixed and uses the bogus buffer locking scheme -- but a 'fixed' LFS
is not likely to use such a scheme.

Now there should be NO problem allocating buffers up to MAXPHYS.

6476c0d204 Even though this looks like it, this is not a complex code change.
The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant
and robust.  Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open
to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions
such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.

This code corrects a potentially large set of problems including the
problems with ktrace output and loaded systems, file create/deletes,
etc.

Most of the changes to NFS are cosmetic and name changes, eliminating
a layer of subroutine calls.  The direct calls to vput/vrele have
been re-instituted for better cross platform compatibility.

7c818168d5 Fixed a major bug that caused various pmap related panics, hangs, and reboots.
The i386 pmap module uses a special area of kernel virtual memory for mapping
of page tables pages when it needs to modify another process's virtual
address space. It's called the 'alternate page table map'. There is only one
of them and it's expected that only one process will be using it at once and
that the operation is atomic.
When the merged VM/buffer cache was implemented over a year ago, it became
necessary to rundown VM pages at I/O completion. The unfortunate and
unforeseen side effect of this is that pmap functions are now called at bio
interrupt time. If there happend to be a process using the alternate page
table map when this I/O completion occurred, it was possible for a different
process's address space to be switched into the alternate page table map -
leaving the current pmap process with the wrong address space mapped when
the interrupt completed. This resulted in BAD things happening like pages
being mapped or removed from the wrong address space, etc.. Since a very
common case of a process modifying another process's address space is during
fork when the kernel stack is inserted, one of the most common manifestations
of this bug was the kernel stack not being mapped properly, resulting in a
silent hang or reboot. This made it VERY difficult to troubleshoot this bug
(I've been trying to figure out the cause of this for >6 months). Fortunately,
the set of conditions that must be true before this problem occurs is
sufficiently rare enough that most people never saw the bug occur. As I/O
rates increase, however, so does the frequency of the crashes. This problem
used to kill wcarchive about every 10 days, but in more recent times when
the traffic exceeded >100GB/day, the machine could barely manage 6 hours of
uptime.
The fix is to make certain that no process has the pages mapped that are
involved in the I/O, before the I/O is started. The pages are made busy, so
no process will be able to map them, either, until the I/O has finished.
This side-steps the issue by still allowing the pmap functions to be called
at interrupt time, but also assuring that the alternate page table map won't
be switched.
Unfortunately, this appears to not be the only cause of this problem. :-(

b18bfc3da7 This set of commits to the VM system does the following, and contain
contributions or ideas from Stephen McKay <syssgm@devetir.qld.gov.au>,
Alan Cox <alc@cs.rice.edu>, David Greenman <davidg@freebsd.org> and me:

	More usage of the TAILQ macros.  Additional minor fix to queue.h.
	Performance enhancements to the pageout daemon.
		Addition of a wait in the case that the pageout daemon
		has to run immediately.
		Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.
	Significant revamp of the pmap/fork code:
		1) PTE's and UPAGES's are NO LONGER in the process's map.
		2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
		3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
		4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
		5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
		6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer
		   and not an entire entry.
		7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
		8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
		   fork code from vm_glue.  Pushed much of that code into
		   the machine dependent pmap module.
		9) Support more completely the reuse of already zeroed
		   pages (Page table pages and page directories) as being
		   already zeroed.
	Performance and code cleanups in vm_map:
		1) Improved and simplified allocation of map entries.
		2) Improved vm_map_copy code.
		3) Corrected some minor problems in the simplify code.
	Implemented splvm (combo of splbio and splimp.)  The VM code now
		seldom uses splhigh.
	Improved the speed of and simplified kmem_malloc.
	Minor mod to vm_fault to avoid using pre-zeroed pages in the case
		of objects with backing objects along with the already
		existant condition of having a vnode.  (If there is a backing
		object, there will likely be a COW...  With a COW, it isn't
		necessary to start with a pre-zeroed page.)
	Minor reorg of source to perhaps improve locality of ref.

18ff64943e Correct handling of dirty pages in I/O buffers. The case where pages
residing in a buffer that had been dirtied by a process was being
handled incorrectly.  The pages were mistakenly placed into the
cache queue.  This would likely have the effect of mmaped page modifications
being lost when I/O system calls were being used simultaneously to
the same locations in a file.

John Dyson
6538dda3dc 1) Fix a bug that a buffer is removed from a queue, but the
queue type is not set to QUEUE_NONE.  This appears to have
	caused a hang bug that has been lurking.
2)	Fix bugs that brelse'ing locked buffers do not "free" them, but the
	code assumes so.  This can cause hangs when LFS is used.
3)	Use malloced memory for directories when applicable.  The amount
	of malloced memory is seriously limited, but should decrease the
	amount of memory used by an average directory to 1/4 - 1/2 previous.
	This capability is fully tunable.  (Note that there is no config
	parameter, and might never be.)
4)	Bias slightly the buffer cache usage towards non-VMIO buffers.  Since
	the data in VMIO buffers is not lost when the buffer is reclaimed, this
	will help performance.  This is adjustable also.

Efficiency improvement for vfs_cluster.  It used to do alot of redundant
	calls to cluster_rbuild.
Correct the ordering for vrele of .text and release of credentials.
Use the selective tlb update for 486/586/P6.
Numerous fixes to the size of objects allocated for files.  Additionally,
	fixes in the various pagers.
Fixes for proper positioning of vnode_pager_setsize in msdosfs and ext2fs.
Fixes in the swap pager for exhausted resources.  The pageout code
	will not as readily thrash.
Change the page queue flags (PG_ACTIVE, PG_INACTIVE, PG_FREE, PG_CACHE) into
	page queue indices (PQ_ACTIVE, PQ_INACTIVE, PQ_FREE, PQ_CACHE),
	thereby improving efficiency of several routines.
Eliminate even more unnecessary vm_page_protect operations.
Significantly speed up process forks.
Make vm_object_page_clean more efficient, thereby eliminating the pause
	that happens every 30seconds.
Make sequential clustered writes B_ASYNC instead of B_DELWRI even in the
	case of filesystems mounted async.
Fix a panic with busy pages when write clustering is done for non-VMIO
	buffers.

beb2f78fb0 This should have fixed some conditions that could cause the
"getblk" hang.  The B_WANTED flag was being cleared gratuitously,
also the optimization of gbincore for ignoring the B_INVAL flag was

5fe17eeb8a General fixes to the vfs clustring code:
1) Make cluster buffer list be a non-malloced chain.  This eliminates
yet another 'evil' M_WAITOK and generally cleans up the code.
2) Fix write clustering for ext2fs.  It was just broken.  Also, ffs
clustering had an efficiency problem that more bawrites were happening
than should have been.
3) Make changes to buf.h to support the above, plus remove b_pfcent
at the request of David Greenman.

6d875bf526 If we clear the B_CACHE flag because a buffer isn't composed fully of
valid bytes, we must also clear the B_DONE flag.  Some filesystems
depend on this (incl NFS) and is probably the cause of the biodone
error and subsequent crash.  Anyway this change needs to be made.

Prototypes are located in <sys/sysproto.h>.

Add appropriate #include <sys/sysproto.h> to files that needed
protos from systm.h.

Add structure definitions to appropriate files that relied on sys/systm.h,
right before system call definition, as in the rest of the kernel source.

In kern_prot.c, instead of using the dummy structure "args", create
individual dummy structures named <syscall>_args.  This makes
life easier for prototype generation.

164fd96f34 These changes fix a bug in the clustering code that I made worse when adding
support for EXT2FS.  Note that the Sig-11 problems appear to be caused by
this, but there is still probably an underlying VM problem that let this
clustering bug cause vnode objects to appear to be corrupted.

The direct manifestation of this bug would have been severely mis-read
files.  It is possible that processes would Sig-11 on very damaged
input files and might explain the mysterious differences in system
behaviour when phk's malloc is being used.

Submitted by:	terry (terry lambert)
This is  a composite of 3 patch sets submitted by terry.
they are:
New low-level init code that supports loadbal modules better
some cleanups in the namei code to help terry in 16-bit character support
some changes to the mount-root code to make it a little more
modular..

NOTE: mounting root off cdrom or NFS MIGHT be broken as I haven't been able
to test those cases..

certainly mounting root of disk still works just fine..
mfs should work but is untested. (tomorrows task)

The low level init stuff includes a total rewrite of init_main.c
to make it possible for new modules to have an init phase by simply
adding an entry to a TEXT_SET (or is it DATA_SET) list. thus a new module can
be added to the kernel without editing any other files other than the
'files' file.
