Usually, this is most useful when the OOM condition is due to mismanagement
of memory, on a system where the applications in question don't respond well
to being killed.
In theory, if the system is properly managed, it shouldn't be possible to
hit this condition. If it does, the panic can be more desirable for some
users (since it can be a good means of finding the root cause) rather than
killing the largest process and continuing on its merry way.
As kib@ mentions in the differential, there is also protect(1), which uses
procctl(PROC_SPROTECT) to ensure that some processes are immune. However,
a panic approach is still useful in some environments. This is primarily

handler. For roughly twenty years, the page fault handler has used the
same basic strategy: Fetch a fixed number of non-resident pages both ahead
and behind the virtual page that was faulted on. Over the years,
alternative strategies have been implemented for optimizing the handling
of random and sequential access patterns, but the only change to the
default strategy has been to increase the number of pages read ahead to 7
and behind to 8.
The problem with the default page clustering strategy becomes apparent
when you look at how it behaves on the code section of an executable or
shared library. (To simplify the following explanation, I'm going to
ignore the read that is performed to obtain the header and assume that no
pages are resident at the start of execution.) Suppose that we have a
code section consisting of 32 pages. Further, suppose that we access
pages 4, 28, and 16 in that order. Under the default page clustering
strategy, we page fault three times and perform three I/O operations,
because the first and second page faults only read a truncated cluster of
12 pages. In contrast, if we access pages 8, 24, and 16 in that order, we
only fault twice and perform two I/O operations, because the first and
second page faults read a full cluster of 16 pages. In general, truncated
clusters are more common than full clusters.
To address this problem, this revision changes the default page clustering
strategy to align the start of the cluster to a page offset within the vm
object that is a multiple of the cluster size. This results in many fewer
truncated clusters. Returning to our example, if we now access pages 4,
28, and 16 in that order, the cluster that is read to satisfy the page
fault on page 28 will now include page 16. So, the access to page 16 will
no longer page fault and perform an I/O operation.
Since the revised default page clustering strategy is typically reading
more pages at a time, we are likely to read a few more pages that are
never accessed. However, for the various programs that we looked at,
including clang, emacs, firefox, and openjdk, the reduction in the number
of page faults and I/O operations far outweighed the increase in the
number of pages that are never accessed. Moreover, the extra resident
pages allowed for many more superpage mappings. For example, if we look
at the execution of clang during a buildworld, the number of (hard) page
faults on the code section drops by 26%, the number of superpage mappings
increases by about 29,000, but the number of never accessed pages only
increases from 30.38% to 33.66%. Finally, this leads to a small but
measureable reduction in execution time.

available that can meet special DMA requirements or can be accessed through
a limited-coverage direct mapping (e.g., MIPS). However, prior to this
change, the configuration of the free lists was static, i.e., it was

This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0.

several reasons for this change:
pmap_change_wiring() has never (in my memory) been used to set the wired
attribute on a virtual page. We have always used pmap_enter() to do that.
Moreover, it is not really safe to use pmap_change_wiring() to set the wired
attribute on a virtual page. The description of pmap_change_wiring() says
that it assumes the existence of a mapping in the pmap. However, non-wired
mappings may be reclaimed by the pmap at any time. (See pmap_collect().)
Many implementations of pmap_change_wiring() will crash if the mapping does
not exist.
pmap_unwire() accepts a range of virtual addresses, whereas
pmap_change_wiring() acts upon a single virtual page. Since we are
typically unwiring a range of virtual addresses, pmap_unwire() will be more
efficient. Moreover, pmap_unwire() allows us to unwire superpage mappings.
Previously, we were forced to demote the superpage mapping, because
pmap_change_wiring() only allowed us to express the unwiring of a single
base page mapping at a time. This added to the overhead of unwiring for
large ranges of addresses, including the implicit unwiring that occurs at
process termination.
Implementations for arm and powerpc will follow.

a partially populated reservation becomes fully populated, and decrease this
field when a fully populated reservation becomes partially populated.
Use this field to simplify the implementation of pmap_enter_object() on
amd64, arm, and i386.
On all architectures where we support superpages, the cost of creating a
superpage mapping is roughly the same as creating a base page mapping. For
example, both kinds of mappings entail the creation of a single PTE and PV
entry. With this in mind, use the page size field to make the
implementation of vm_map_pmap_enter(..., MAP_PREFAULT_PARTIAL) a little
smarter. Previously, if MAP_PREFAULT_PARTIAL was specified to
vm_map_pmap_enter(), that function would only map base pages. Now, it will
create up to 96 base page or superpage mappings.

on execve(2), it calls vmspace_exec(), which frees the current
vmspace. The thread executing an exec syscall gets new vmspace
assigned, and old vmspace is freed if only referenced by the current
process. The free operation includes pmap_release(), which
de-constructs the paging structures used by hardware.
If the calling process is multithreaded, other threads are suspended
in the thread_suspend_check(), and need to be unsuspended and run to
be able to exit on successfull exec. Now, since the old vmspace is
destroyed, paging structures are invalid, threads are resumed on the
non-existent pmaps (page tables), which leads to triple fault on x86.
To fix, postpone the free of old vmspace until the threads are resumed
and exited. To avoid modifications to all image activators all of
which use exec_new_vmspace(), memoize the current (old) vmspace in
kern_execve(), and notify it about the need to call vmspace_free()

periodically update the reference status of the active pages. This function
was called, instead of vm_pageout_scan(), when memory was not scarce. The
objective was to provide up to date reference status for active pages in
case memory did become scarce and active pages needed to be deactivated.
The active page queue scan performed by vm_pageout_page_stats() was
virtually identical to that performed by vm_pageout_scan(), and so r254304
eliminated vm_pageout_page_stats(). Instead, vm_pageout_scan() is
called with the parameter "pass" set to zero. The intention was that when
pass is zero, vm_pageout_scan() would only scan the active queue. However,
the variable page_shortage can still be greater than zero when memory is not
scarce and vm_pageout_scan() is called with pass equal to zero.
Consequently, the inactive queue may be scanned and dirty pages laundered
even though that was not intended by r254304. This revision fixes that.

This is a last resort for very low memory condition in case other measures
to free memory were ineffective. Sequentially cycle through all CPUs and
extract per-CPU cache buckets into zone cache from where they can be freed.
Lock congestion is the same, whether it happens on alloc or free, so
handle it equally. Now that we have back pressure, there is no problem
to grow buckets a bit faster. Any way growth is much slower then in 9.x.
These new buckets make bucket size self-tuning more soft and precise.
Without them there are buckets for 1, 5, 13, 29, ... items. While at
bigger sizes difference about 2x is fine, at smallest ones it is 5x and
2.6x respectively. New buckets make that line look like 1, 3, 5, 9, 13,
29, reducing jumps between steps, making algorithm work softer, allocating
and freeing memory in better fitting chunks. Otherwise there is quite a
big gap between allocating 128K and 5x128K of RAM at once.
Every time system detects low memory condition decrease bucket sizes for
each zone by one item. As result, higher memory pressure will push to
smaller bucket sizes and so smaller per-CPU caches and so more efficient
memory use.
Before this change there was no force to oppose buckets growth as result
of practically inevitable zone lock conflicts, and after some run time
per-CPU caches could consume enough RAM to kill the system.
