Since LA57 was moved to the main SDM document with revision 072, it
seems that we should have a support for it, and silicons are coming.
This patch makes pmap support both LA48 and LA57 hardware. The
selection of page table level is done at startup, kernel always
receives control from loader with 4-level paging. It is not clear how
UEFI spec would adapt LA57, for instance it could hand out control in
LA57 mode sometimes.
To switch from LA48 to LA57 requires turning off long mode, requesting
LA57 in CR4, then re-entering long mode. This is somewhat delicate
and done in pmap_bootstrap_la57(). AP startup in LA57 mode is much
easier, we only need to toggle a bit in CR4 and load right value in CR3.
I decided to not change kernel map for now. Single PML5 entry is
created that points to the existing kernel_pml4 (KML4Phys) page, and a
pml5 entry to create our recursive mapping for vtopte()/vtopde().
This decision is motivated by the fact that we cannot overcommit for
KVA, so large space there is unusable until machines start providing
wider physical memory addressing. Another reason is that I do not
want to break our fragile autotuning, so the KVA expansion is not
included into this first step. Nice side effect is that minidumps are
compatible.
On the other hand, (very) large address space is definitely
immediately useful for some userspace applications.
For userspace, numbering of pte entries (or page table pages) is
always done for 5-level structures even if we operate in 4-level mode.
The pmap_is_la57() function is added to report the mode of the
specified pmap, this is done not to allow simultaneous 4-/5-levels
(which is not allowed by hw), but to accomodate for EPT which has
separate level control and in principle might not allow 5-leve EPT
despite x86 paging supports it. Anyway, it does not seems critical to
have 5-level EPT support now.

r351198 allows the kernel to use domain-local memory to back the vm_page

purpose. One consequence of that change is that the vm_page array is no
longer present in minidumps, which only adds pages mapped above
VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS.
To avoid the friction caused by having kernel data structures mapped

The KPI allows to map very large contigous physical memory regions

I see both with QEMU and with some real hardware started shipping, the
regions for NVDIMMs might be very far apart from the normal RAM, and
we expect that at least initial users of NVDIMM could install very
large amount of such memory. IMO it is not reasonable to extend DMAP
to cover that far-away regions both because it could overflow existing
4T window for DMAP in KVA, and because it costs in page table pages
allocations, for gap and for possibly unused NV RAM.

Currently both the page lock and a page queue lock must be held in
order to enqueue, dequeue or requeue a page in a given page queue.
The queue locks are a scalability bottleneck in many workloads. This
change reduces page queue lock contention by batching queue operations.
To detangle the page and page queue locks, per-CPU batch queues are
used to reference pages with pending queue operations. The requested
operation is encoded in the page's aflags field with the page lock
held, after which the page is enqueued for a deferred batch operation.
Page queue scans are similarly optimized to minimize the amount of
work performed with a page queue lock held.

managing pages from different address ranges. Generally speaking, this
feature is used to increase the likelihood that physical pages are
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
determined at compile time. Consequentally, free lists could be created
for address ranges that held no actual pages, for example, on 32-bit MIPS-
based systems with 512 MB or less of physical memory. This change makes
the creation of the free lists dynamic, i.e., it is based on the available
physical memory at boot time.
On 64-bit x86-based systems with 64 GB or more of physical memory, create
free lists for managing pages with physical addresses below 4 GB. This
change is to address reported problems with initializing devices that

words, every architecture is now auto-sizing the kmem arena. This revision
changes kmeminit() so that the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE becomes
mandatory and the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE becomes optional.
Replace or eliminate all existing definitions of VM_KMEM_SIZE. With
auto-sizing enabled, VM_KMEM_SIZE effectively became an alternate spelling
for VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN on most architectures. Use VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN for
clarity.
Change kmeminit() so that the effect of defining VM_KMEM_SIZE is similar to
that of setting the tunable vm.kmem_size. Whereas the macros
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} have had the same effect as the tunables
vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, the effects of VM_KMEM_SIZE and vm.kmem_size
have been distinct. In particular, whereas VM_KMEM_SIZE was overridden by
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} and vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, vm.kmem_size
was not. Remedy this inconsistency. Now, VM_KMEM_SIZE can be used to set
the size of the kmem arena at compile-time without that value being
overridden by auto-sizing.
Update the nearby comments to reflect the kmem submap being replaced by the
kmem arena. Stop duplicating the auto-sizing formula in every machine-
dependent vmparam.h and place it in kmeminit() where auto-sizing takes

- Each architecture indicates the maximum number of supported memory domains
via a new VM_NDOMAIN parameter in <machine/vmparam.h>.
- Each cpu now has a PCPU_GET(domain) member to indicate the memory domain
a CPU belongs to. Domain values are dense and numbered from 0.
- When a platform supports multiple domains, the default freelist
(VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT) is split up into N freelists, one for each domain.
The MD code is required to populate an array of mem_affinity structures.
Each entry in the array defines a range of memory (start and end) and a
domain for the range. Multiple entries may be present for a single
domain. The list is terminated by an entry where all fields are zero.
This array of structures is used to split up phys_avail[] regions that
fall in VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT into per-domain freelists.
- Each memory domain has a separate lookup-array of freelists that is
used when fulfulling a physical memory allocation. Right now the
per-domain freelists are listed in a round-robin order for each domain.
In the future a table such as the ACPI SLIT table may be used to order
the per-domain lookup lists based on the penalty for each memory domain
relative to a specific domain. The lookup lists may be examined via a
new vm.phys.lookup_lists sysctl.
- The first-touch policy is implemented by using PCPU_GET(domain) to

ways:
(1) Cached pages are no longer kept in the object's resident page
splay tree and memq. Instead, they are kept in a separate per-object
splay tree of cached pages. However, access to this new per-object
splay tree is synchronized by the _free_ page queues lock, not to be
confused with the heavily contended page queues lock. Consequently, a
cached page can be reclaimed by vm_page_alloc(9) without acquiring the
object's lock or the page queues lock.
This solves a problem independently reported by tegge@ and Isilon.
Specifically, they observed the page daemon consuming a great deal of
CPU time because of pages bouncing back and forth between the cache
queue (PQ_CACHE) and the inactive queue (PQ_INACTIVE). The source of
this problem turned out to be a deadlock avoidance strategy employed
when selecting a cached page to reclaim in vm_page_select_cache().
However, the root cause was really that reclaiming a cached page
required the acquisition of an object lock while the page queues lock
was already held. Thus, this change addresses the problem at its
root, by eliminating the need to acquire the object's lock.
Moreover, keeping cached pages in the object's primary splay tree and
memq was, in effect, optimizing for the uncommon case. Cached pages
are reclaimed far, far more often than they are reactivated. Instead,
this change makes reclamation cheaper, especially in terms of
synchronization overhead, and reactivation more expensive, because
reactivated pages will have to be reentered into the object's primary
splay tree and memq.
(2) Cached pages are now stored alongside free pages in the physical
memory allocator's buddy queues, increasing the likelihood that large
allocations of contiguous physical memory (i.e., superpages) will
succeed.
Finally, as a result of this change long-standing restrictions on when
and where a cached page can be reclaimed and returned by
vm_page_alloc(9) are eliminated. Specifically, calls to
vm_page_alloc(9) specifying VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT can now reclaim and
return a formerly cached page. Consequently, a call to malloc(9)
specifying M_NOWAIT is less likely to fail.
