of the various ad-hoc schemes.
2) When bringing in UPAGES, the pmap code needs to do another vm_page_lookup.
3) When appropriate, set the PG_A or PG_M bits a-priori to both avoid some
processor errata, and to minimize redundant processor updating of page
tables.
4) Modify pmap_protect so that it can only remove permissions (as it
originally supported.) The additional capability is not needed.
5) Streamline read-only to read-write page mappings.
6) For pmap_copy_page, don't enable write mapping for source page.
7) Correct and clean-up pmap_incore.
8) Cluster initial kern_exec pagin.
9) Removal of some minor lint from kern_malloc.
10) Correct some ioopt code.
11) Remove some dead code from the MI swapout routine.
12) Correct vm_object_deallocate (to remove backing_object ref.)
13) Fix dead object handling, that had problems under heavy memory load.
14) Add minor vm_page_lookup improvements.
15) Some pages are not in objects, and make sure that the vm_page.c can
properly support such pages.
16) Add some more page deficit handling.
17) Some minor code readability improvements.
If you want to play with it, you can find the final version of the
code in the repository the tag LFS_RETIREMENT.
If somebody makes LFS work again, adding it back is certainly
desireable, but as it is now nobody seems to care much about it,
and it has suffered considerable bitrot since its somewhat haphazard
integration.
R.I.P
This introduce an xxxFS_BOOT for each of the rootable filesystems.
(Presently not required, but encouraged to allow a smooth move of option *FS
to opt_dontuse.h later.)
LFS is temporarily disabled, and will be re-enabled tomorrow.
1) Start using TSM.
Struct procs continue to point to upages structure, after being freed.
Struct vmspace continues to point to pte object and kva space for kstack.
u_map is now superfluous.
2) vm_map's don't need to be reference counted. They always exist either
in the kernel or in a vmspace. The vmspaces are managed by reference
counts.
3) Remove the "wired" vm_map nonsense.
4) No need to keep a cache of kernel stack kva's.
5) Get rid of strange looking ++var, and change to var++.
6) Change more data structures to use our "zone" allocator. Added
struct proc, struct vmspace and struct vnode. This saves a significant
amount of kva space and physical memory. Additionally, this enables
TSM for the zone managed memory.
7) Keep ioopt disabled for now.
8) Remove the now bogus "single use" map concept.
9) Use generation counts or id's for data structures residing in TSM, where
it allows us to avoid unneeded restart overhead during traversals, where
blocking might occur.
10) Account better for memory deficits, so the pageout daemon will be able
to make enough memory available (experimental.)
11) Fix some vnode locking problems. (From Tor, I think.)
12) Add a check in ufs_lookup, to avoid lots of unneeded calls to bcmp.
(experimental.)
13) Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c
code. Use generation counts, get rid of unneded collpase operations,
and clean up the cluster code.
14) Make vm_zone more suitable for TSM.
This commit is partially as a result of discussions and contributions from
other people, including DG, Tor Egge, PHK, and probably others that I
have forgotten to attribute (so let me know, if I forgot.)
This is not the infamous, final cleanup of the vnode stuff, but a necessary
step. Vnode mgmt should be correct, but things might still change, and
there is still some missing stuff (like ioopt, and physical backing of
non-merged cache files, debugging of layering concepts.)
config option in pmap. Fix a problem with faulting in pages. Clean-up
some loose ends in swap pager memory management.
The system should be much more stable, but all subtile bugs aren't fixed yet.
original BSD code. The association between the vnode and the vm_object
no longer includes reference counts. The major difference is that
vm_object's are no longer freed gratuitiously from the vnode, and so
once an object is created for the vnode, it will last as long as the
vnode does.
When a vnode object reference count is incremented, then the underlying
vnode reference count is incremented also. The two "objects" are now
more intimately related, and so the interactions are now much less
complex.
When vnodes are now normally placed onto the free queue with an object still
attached. The rundown of the object happens at vnode rundown time, and
happens with exactly the same filesystem semantics of the original VFS
code. There is absolutely no need for vnode_pager_uncache and other
travesties like that anymore.
A side-effect of these changes is that SMP locking should be much simpler,
the I/O copyin/copyout optimizations work, NFS should be more ponderable,
and further work on layered filesystems should be less frustrating, because
of the totally coherent management of the vnode objects and vnodes.
Please be careful with your system while running this code, but I would
greatly appreciate feedback as soon a reasonably possible.
of vnodes and objects. There are some metadata performance improvements
that come along with this. There are also a few prototypes added when
the need is noticed. Changes include:
1) Cleaning up vref, vget.
2) Removal of the object cache.
3) Nuke vnode_pager_uncache and friends, because they aren't needed anymore.
4) Correct some missing LK_RETRY's in vn_lock.
5) Correct the page range in the code for msync.
Be gentle, and please give me feedback asap.
if one of the new poll types is requested; hopefully this will not break
any existing code. (This is done so that programs have a dependable
way of determining whether a filesystem supports the extended poll types
or not.)
The new poll types added are:
POLLWRITE - file contents may have been modified
POLLNLINK - file was linked, unlinked, or renamed
POLLATTRIB - file's attributes may have been changed
POLLEXTEND - file was extended
Note that the internal operation of poll() means that it is impossible
for two processes to reliably poll for the same event (this could
be fixed but may not be worth it), so it is not possible to rewrite
`tail -f' to use poll at this time.
general to be of much use. Using it here broke the _PC_NAME_MAX,
_PC_NO_TRUNC and _PC_PATH_MAX cases, and weakened the _PC_MAX_CANON,
_PC_MAX_INPUT and _PC_VDISABLE cases.
triple indirect blocks only worked for block sizes of 4K, since
MNINDIR(ump)**3 overflows for larger block sizes (e.g.,
(8192/4)**3 = 2**33 > INT_MAX). This fix is not the obvious one of
changing some types to 64 bits. It rearranges the code to avoid some
unnecessary 64-bit calculations.

time is marked at the start of a read() and not marked on successful
completion. I think this should be handled at the vfs level.
Print a better panic message for missing vops. Don't use printf()
before panic(), since the printf()ed part isn't shown by gdb.
This actually loses a little with the current gdb, since gdb just
prints the fmt arg to panic, so %'s aren't expanded. gdb should
fetch the full message from the message buffer if possible.
Fixed default vop function for vop_getpages_desc. It needs to
just return EOPNOTSUPP so that the vnode pager can get the pages
in using a general method. Panicing broke exec'ing of files on
ext2fs file systems. ffs works because it doesn't use the default.
Fixed nearby style bugs.

Add an option to the way UFS works dependent on the SUID bit of directories
This changes makes things a whole lot simpler on systems running as
fileservers for PCs and MACS. to enable the new code you must
1/ enable option SUIDDIR on the kernel.
2/ mount the filesystem with option suiddir.
hopefully this makes it difficult enough for people to
do this accidentally.

Ever since I first say the way the mount flags were used I've hated the
fact that modes, and events, internal and exported, and short-term
and long term flags are all thrown together. Finally it's annoyed me enough..
This patch to the entire FreeBSD tree adds a second mount flag word
to the mount struct. it is not exported to userspace. I have moved
some of the non exported flags over to this word. this means that we now
have 8 free bits in the mount flags. There are another two that might
well move over, but which I'm not sure about.
The only user visible change would have been in pstat -v, except
that davidg has disabled it anyhow.
I'd still like to move the state flags and the 'command' flags
apart from each other.. e.g. MNT_FORCE really doesn't have the
same semantics as MNT_RDONLY, but that's left for another day.

This fixes a boatload of compiler warning, and removes a lot of cruft
from the sources.
I have not removed the /*ARGSUSED*/, they will require some looking at.
