o Introduce vm_sync_icache() for making the I-cache coherent with
the memory or D-cache, depending on the semantics of the platform.
vm_sync_icache() is basically a wrapper around pmap_sync_icache(),
that translates the vm_map_t argumument to pmap_t.
o Introduce pmap_sync_icache() to all PMAP implementation. For powerpc
it replaces the pmap_page_executable() function, added to solve
the I-cache problem in uiomove_fromphys().
o In proc_rwmem() call vm_sync_icache() when writing to a page that
has execute permissions. This assures that when breakpoints are
written, the I-cache will be coherent and the process will actually
hit the breakpoint.
o This also fixes the Book-E PMAP implementation that was missing
necessary locking while trying to deal with the I-cache coherency
in pmap_enter() (read: mmu_booke_enter_locked).

When protection of wired read-only mapping is changed to read-write,
install new shadow object behind the map entry and copy the pages
from the underlying objects to it. This makes the mprotect(2) call to
actually perform the requested operation instead of silently do nothing
and return success, that causes SIGSEGV on later write access to the
mapping.
Reuse vm_fault_copy_entry() to do the copying, modifying it to behave
correctly when src_entry == dst_entry.
Extend the device pager to support different memory attributes on different
pages in an object.
- Add a new variant of d_mmap() currently called d_mmap2() which accepts
an additional in/out parameter that is the memory attribute to use for
the requested page.
- A driver either uses d_mmap() or d_mmap2() for all requests but not both.
The current implementation uses a flag in the cdevsw (D_MMAP2) to indicate
that the driver provides a d_mmap2() handler instead of d_mmap(). This
is done to make the change ABI compatible with existing drivers and
MFC'able to 7 and 8.

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.

The accounting information (charge) is associated with either map entry,
or vm object backing the entry, assuming the object is the first one
in the shadow chain and entry does not require COW. Charge is moved
from entry to object on allocation of the object, e.g. during the mmap,
assuming the object is allocated, or on the first page fault on the
entry. It moves back to the entry on forks due to COW setup.
The per-entry granularity of accounting makes the charge process fair
for processes that change uid during lifetime, and decrements charge
for proper uid when region is unmapped.
The interface of vm_pager_allocate(9) is extended by adding struct ucred *,
that is used to charge appropriate uid when allocation if performed by

allocates the pages and maps them.
The motivations for this change are two-fold: (1) A cache mode parameter
will be added to kmem_alloc_contig(). In other words, kmem_alloc_contig()
will be extended to support the allocation of memory with caller-specified
caching. (2) The UMA allocation function that is used by the two jumbo
frames zones can use kmem_alloc_contig() in place of contigmalloc() and
thereby avoid having free jumbo frames held by the zone counted as live
malloc()ed memory.

memory with 4MB pages was added to pmap_object_init_pt(). This code
assumes that the pages of a OBJT_DEVICE object are always physically
contiguous. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. For example,
jhb@ informs me that the recently introduced /dev/ksyms driver creates
a OBJT_DEVICE object that violates this assumption. Thus, this
revision modifies pmap_object_init_pt() to abort the mapping if the
OBJT_DEVICE object's pages are not physically contiguous. This
revision also changes some inconsistent if not buggy behavior. For
example, the i386 version aborts if the first 4MB virtual page that
would be mapped is already valid. However, it incorrectly replaces
any subsequent 4MB virtual page mappings that it encounters,
potentially leaking a page table page. The amd64 version has a bug of
my own creation. It potentially busies the wrong page and always an
insufficent number of pages if it blocks allocating a page table page.
To my knowledge, there have been no reports of these bugs, hence,
their persistance. I suspect that the existing restrictions that
pmap_object_init_pt() placed on the OBJT_DEVICE objects that it would
choose to map, for example, that the first page must be aligned on a 2
or 4MB physical boundary and that the size of the mapping must be a
multiple of the large page size, were enough to avoid triggering the
bug for drivers like ksyms. However, one side effect of testing the
OBJT_DEVICE object's pages for physical contiguity is that a dubious
difference between pmap_object_init_pt() and the standard path for
mapping devices pages, i.e., vm_fault(), has been eliminated.
Previously, pmap_object_init_pt() would only instantiate the first
PG_FICTITOUS page being mapped because it never examined the rest.
Now, however, pmap_object_init_pt() uses the new function
vm_object_populate() to instantiate them all (in order to support
testing their physical contiguity). These pages need to be
instantiated for the mechanism that I have prototyped for
automatically maintaining the consistency of the PAT settings across
multiple mappings, particularly, amd64's direct mapping, to work.
