b9dcd593ff Fixed type mismatches for functions with args of type vm_prot_t and/or
vm_inherit_t.  These types are smaller than ints, so the prototypes
should have used the promoted type (int) to match the old-style function
definitions.  They use just vm_prot_t and/or vm_inherit_t.  This depends
on gcc features to work.  I fixed the definitions since this is easiest.
The correct fix may be to change the small types to u_int, to optimize
for time instead of space.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

09e0c6ccdd Implement a new totally dynamic (up to MAXPHYS) buffer kva allocation
scheme.  Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected
kernel page faults.  The maximum amount of kva space for buffers hasn't
been decreased from where it is, but it will now be possible to do so.

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.

5070c7f8c5 Addition of page coloring support. Various levels of coloring are afforded.
The default level works with minimal overhead, but one can also enable
full, efficient use of a 512K cache.  (Parameters can be generated
to support arbitrary cache sizes also.)

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.

24a1cce34f NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct
proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!!

Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of
changes:

1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages,
   haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now
   provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take
   struct vm_object's instead of "pagers".

2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant
   confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a
   pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has
   escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is
   used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager
   structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were
   unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union
   was created in the object to contain these items.

3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now
   be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(),
   vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the
   things that were removed.

4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the
   SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism
   that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code
   was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The
   locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward
   making the code difficult to read and debug.

5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel
   thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really
   dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete
   thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong.
   We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance.

6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the
   pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and
   are now faster and easier to maintain.

7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and
   now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after
   the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein
   algorithm and should provide better overall performance.

8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup
   have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed.

9) Some almost useless debugging code removed.

10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out.
    The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this
    backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing
    object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct
    in the Mach terminology.

11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused
    0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended.

12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition
    of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code
    for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides
    the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something
    other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it
    allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made
    dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do
    this, of course).

13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy
    object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non-
    standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its
    behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will
    continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics
    of MAP_PRIVATE.

14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a
    threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13
    were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain-
    ability. (As were most all of these changes)

TODO:

1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing
   this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size.

2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering
   information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will
   substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of
   VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be
   improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of
   contiguousness.

3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage().
   It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind.

4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps
   via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk
   striping of regular filesystems.

5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The
   fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about
   how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow
   for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by
   other pagers).

0d94caffca These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache,
much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.

The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.

The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.

vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme.  The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface.  Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.

vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache.  Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.

vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code.  Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.

vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now.  Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code.  This code has been reworked from the ground-up.

vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.

pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.

vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code.  No more gratuitous swapping.

proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.

swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency.  Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.

machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.

machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.

ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache.  Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

f23b4c91c4 Fix up some sloppy coding practices:
- Delete redundant declarations.
- Add -Wredundant-declarations to Makefile.i386 so they don't come back.
- Delete sloppy COMMON-style declarations of uninitialized data in
  header files.
- Add a few prototypes.
- Clean up warnings resulting from the above.

NB: ioconf.c will still generate a redundant-declaration warning, which
is unavoidable unless somebody volunteers to make `config' smarter.

16f62314cd Incorporated post 1.1.5 work from John Dyson. This includes performance
improvements via the new routines pmap_qenter/pmap_qremove and pmap_kenter/
pmap_kremove. These routine allow fast mapping of pages for those
architectures that have "normal" MMUs. Also included is a fix to the
pageout daemon to properly check a queue end condition.
