The current vnode layout is not smp-friendly by having frequently read data
avoidably sharing cachelines with very frequently modified fields. In
particular v_iflag inspected for VI_DOOMED can be found in the same line with
v_usecount. Instead make it available in the same cacheline as the v_op, v_data
and v_type which all get read all the time.
v_type is avoidably 4 bytes while the necessary data will easily fit in 1.
Shrinking it frees up 3 bytes, 2 of which get used here to introduce a new
flag field with a new value: VIRF_DOOMED.

NANDFS has been broken for years. Remove it. The NAND drivers that
remain are for ancient parts that are no longer relevant. They are
polled, have terrible performance and just for ancient arm
hardware. NAND parts have evolved significantly from this early work
and little to none of it would be relevant should someone need to
update to support raw nand. This code has been off by default for
years and has violated the vnode protocol leading to panics since it
was committed.

o In vm_pager_bufferinit() create pbuf_zone and start accounting on how many
pbufs are we going to have set.
In various subsystems that are going to utilize pbufs create private zones
via call to pbuf_zsecond_create(). The latter calls uma_zsecond_create(),
and sets a limit on created zone. After startup preallocate pbufs according
to requirements of all pbuf zones.
Subsystems that used to have a private limit with old allocator now have
private pbuf zones: md(4), fusefs, NFS client, smbfs, VFS cluster, FFS,
swap, vnode pager.
The following subsystems use shared pbuf zone: cam(4), nvme(4), physio(9),
aio(4). They should have their private limits, but changing that is out of
scope of this commit.
o Fetch tunable value of kern.nswbuf from init_param2() and while here move
NSWBUF_MIN to opt_param.h and eliminate opt_swap.h, that was holding only
this option.
Default values aren't touched by this commit, but they probably should be
reviewed wrt to modern hardware.
This change removes a tight bottleneck from sendfile(2) operation, that
uses pbufs in vnode pager. Other pagers also would benefit from faster
allocation.

Directory entries must be padded to maintain alignment; in many
filesystems the padding was not initialized, resulting in stack
memory being copied out to userspace. With the ino64 work there
are also some explicit pad fields in struct dirent. Add a subroutine
to clear these bytes and use it in the in-tree filesystems. The
NFS client is omitted for now as it was fixed separately in r340787.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Suppose that a file on NFS has partially filled last page, and this
page is dirty. NFS VOP_PAGEOUT() method only marks the the page clean
up to the block of the last written byte, leaving other blocks dirty.
Also any page which erronously exists in the vnode vm_object past EOF
is also left marked as dirty.
With the introduction of the buf-cache coherent pager, each pass of
syncer over the object with such page results in creation of B_DELWRI
buffer due to VOP_WRITE() call. This buffer is noted on next syncer
pass, which results e.g. a visible manifestation of shutdown never
finishing vnode sync. Note that before buf-cache coherency commit, a
dirty page might left never synced to server if a partial writes
occur.
Fix this by clearing dirty bits after EOF. Only blocks of the partial
page which are completely after EOF are marked clean, to avoid
possible user data loss.

in place. To do per-cpu stats, convert all fields that previously were
maintained in the vmmeters that sit in pcpus to counter(9).
- Since some vmmeter stats may be touched at very early stages of boot,
before we have set up UMA and we can do counter_u64_alloc(), provide an
early counter mechanism:
o Leave one spare uint64_t in struct pcpu, named pc_early_dummy_counter.
o Point counter(9) fields of vmmeter to pcpu[0].pc_early_dummy_counter,
so that at early stages of boot, before counters are allocated we already
point to a counter that can be safely written to.
o For sparc64 that required a whole dummy pcpu[MAXCPU] array.
Further related changes:
- Don't include vmmeter.h into pcpu.h.
- vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsout and vm.stats.vm.v_swappgsin changed to 64-bit,
to match kernel representation.
- struct vmmeter hidden under _KERNEL, and only vmstat(1) is an exclusion.

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.
Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.
Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().
o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
by the caller.
This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
should be file system agnostic, into vnode_pager.c. It also removes
one VOP_BMAP() request per hard fault.
