0cddd8f023 With Alfred's permission, remove vm_mtx in favor of a fine-grained approach
(this commit is just the first stage).  Also add various GIANT_ macros to
formalize the removal of Giant, making it easy to test in a more piecemeal
fashion. These macros will allow us to test fine-grained locks to a degree
before removing Giant, and also after, and to remove Giant in a piecemeal
fashion via sysctl's on those subsystems which the authors believe can
operate without Giant.

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).

21cd6e6232 - If swap metadata does not fit into the KVM, reduce the number of
struct swblock entries by dividing the number of the entries by 2
until the swap metadata fits.

- Reject swapon(2) upon failure of swap_zone allocation.

This is just a temporary fix. Better solutions include:
(suggested by:	dillon)

o reserving swap in SWAP_META_PAGES chunks, and
o swapping the swblock structures themselves.

923502ff91 useracc() the prequel:
Merge the contents (less some trivial bordering the silly comments)
of <vm/vm_prot.h> and <vm/vm_inherit.h> into <vm/vm.h>.  This puts
the #defines for the vm_inherit_t and vm_prot_t types next to their
typedefs.

This paves the road for the commit to follow shortly: change
useracc() to use VM_PROT_{READ|WRITE} rather than B_{READ|WRITE}
as argument.

e4542174b0 vm_pager_put_pages() is passed an rcval array to hold per-page return
values.  The 'int' return value for the procedure was never used and
    not well defined in any case when there are mixed errors on pages, so
    it has been removed.  vm_pager_put_pages() and associated vm_pager
    functions now return void.

9f6fed9017 The default_pager's interaction with the swap_pager has been reorganized,
and the swap_pager has been completely replaced.

    The new swap pager uses the new blist radix-tree based bitmap allocator
    for low level swap allocation and deallocation.   The new allocator
    is effectively O(5) while the old one was O(N), and the new allocator
    allocates all required memory at init time rather then at allocate
    memory on the fly at run time.

    Swap metadata is allocated in clusters and stored in a hash table,
    eliminating linearly allocated structures.

    Many, many features have been rewritten or added.  Swap space is now
    reallocated on the fly providing a poor-mans auto defragmentation of
    swap space.  Swap space that is no longer needed is freed on a timely
    basis so no garbage collection is necessary.

    Swap I/O is marked B_ASYNC and NFS has been fixed to do the right
    thing with it, so NFS-based paging now has around 10x the performance
    as it did before ( previously NFS enforced synchronous I/O for paging ).

1c7c3c6a86 This is a rather large commit that encompasses the new swapper,
changes to the VM system to support the new swapper, VM bug
    fixes, several VM optimizations, and some additional revamping of the
    VM code.  The specific bug fixes will be documented with additional
    forced commits.  This commit is somewhat rough in regards to code
    cleanup issues.

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.

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.

b5b40fa62b Various bugfixes/cleanups from me and others:
1) Remove potential race conditions on waking up in vm_page_free_wakeup
   by making sure that it is at splvm().
2) Fix another bug in vm_map_simplify_entry.
3) Be more complete about converting from default to swap pager
   when an object grows to be large enough that there can be
   a problem with data structure allocation under low memory
   conditions.
4) Make some madvise code more efficient.
5) Added some comments.

a5b6fd29a3 Make sure that pageout deadlocks cannot occur. There is a problem
that the datastructures needed to support the swap pager can take
enough space to fully deplete system memory, and cause a deadlock.
This change keeps large objects from being filled with dirty pages
without the appropriate swap pager datastructures.  Right now,
default objects greater than 1/4 the size of available system memory
are converted to swap objects, thereby eliminating the risk of deadlock.

2541af0bba Oops, forgot to add the "default" pager files...
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).
