there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.

the free page queues lock is released to clear the page's flags. Moreover,
the PG_FREE flag can be retired. Now that the reservation system no longer

pmap function, pmap_advise(), that operates on a range of virtual addresses
within the specified pmap, allowing for a more efficient implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE. Previously, the implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE relied on per-page pmap operations, such as
pmap_clear_reference(). Intuitively, the problem with this implementation
is that the pmap-level locks are acquired and released and the page table
traversed repeatedly, once for each resident page in the range
that was specified to madvise(2). A more subtle flaw with the previous
implementation is that pmap_clear_reference() would clear the reference bit
on all mappings to the specified page, not just the mapping in the range
specified to madvise(2).
Since our malloc(3) makes heavy use of madvise(2), this change can have a
measureable impact. For example, the system time for completing a parallel
"buildworld" on a 6-core amd64 machine was reduced by about 1.5% to 2.0%.

The tie between NUMA domain and pagedaemon thread/pagequeue split is
rather arbitrary, the multithreaded daemon could be allowed for the
single-domain machines, or one domain might be split into several page
domains, to further increase concurrency.
Right now, each pagedaemon thread tries to reach the global target,
precalculated at the start of the pass. This is not optimal, since it
could cause excessive page deactivation and freeing. The code should
be changed to re-check the global page deficit state in the loop after
some number of iterations.
The pagedaemons reach the quorum before starting the OOM, since one
thread inability to meet the target is normal for split queues. Only
when all pagedaemons fail to produce enough reusable pages, OOM is

Replace the per-object resident and cached pages splay tree with a
path-compressed multi-digit radix trie.
Along with this, switch also the x86-specific handling of idle page
tables to using the radix trie.
This change is supposed to do the following:
- Allowing the acquisition of read locking for lookup operations of the
resident/cached pages collections as the per-vm_page_t splay iterators
are now removed.
- Increase the scalability of the operations on the page collections.
The radix trie does rely on the consumers locking to ensure atomicity of
its operations. In order to avoid deadlocks the bisection nodes are
pre-allocated in the UMA zone. This can be done safely because the
algorithm needs at maximum one new node per insert which means the
maximum number of the desired nodes is the number of available physical
frames themselves. However, not all the times a new bisection node is
really needed.
The radix trie implements path-compression because UFS indirect blocks
can lead to several objects with a very sparse trie, increasing the number
of levels to usually scan. It also helps in the nodes pre-fetching by
introducing the single node per-insert property.
This code is not generalized (yet) because of the possible loss of
performance by having much of the sizes in play configurable.
However, efforts to make this code more general and then reusable in
further different consumers might be really done.
The only KPI change is the removal of the function vm_page_splay() which
is now reaped.
The only KBI change, instead, is the removal of the left/right iterators
from struct vm_page, which are now reaped.

* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring

using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.

At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions

assertion that is no longer required. Long ago, calls to vm_page_alloc()
from an interrupt handler had to specify VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT so that
vm_page_alloc() would not attempt to reclaim a PQ_CACHE page from another vm
object. Today, with the synchronization on a vm object's collection of
PQ_CACHE pages, this is no longer an issue. In fact, VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT now
reclaims PQ_CACHE pages just like VM_ALLOC_{NORMAL,SYSTEM}.

long is not necessarily an uint64_t. (This mismatch was hidden by
casting.) Move the remaining two counters up a level in the sysctl
hierarchy. There is no reason for them to be under the vm.pmap node.

With the aforementioned change to vm_pageout_clean(), page locks don't need
to support recursive (MTX_RECURSE) or duplicate (MTX_DUPOK) acquisitions.

vm_object_set_writeable_dirty().
Fix an issue where restart of the scan in vm_object_page_clean() did
not removed write permissions for newly added pages or, if the mapping
for some already scanned page changed to writeable due to fault.
Merge the two loops in vm_object_page_clean(), doing the remove of
write permission and cleaning in the same loop. The restart of the
loop then correctly downgrade writeable mappings.
Fix an issue where a second caller to msync() might actually return
before the first caller had actually completed flushing the
pages. Clear the OBJ_MIGHTBEDIRTY flag after the cleaning loop, not
before.
Calls to pmap_is_modified() are not needed after pmap_remove_write()
there.
