Replace MAXPHYS by runtime variable maxphys. It is initialized from
MAXPHYS by default, but can be also adjusted with the tunable kern.maxphys.
Make b_pages[] array in struct buf flexible. Size b_pages[] for buffer
cache buffers exactly to atop(maxbcachebuf) (currently it is sized to
atop(MAXPHYS)), and b_pages[] for pbufs is sized to atop(maxphys) + 1.
The +1 for pbufs allow several pbuf consumers, among them vmapbuf(),
to use unaligned buffers still sized to maxphys, esp. when such
buffers come from userspace (*). Overall, we save significant amount
of otherwise wasted memory in b_pages[] for buffer cache buffers,
while bumping MAXPHYS to desired high value.
Eliminate all direct uses of the MAXPHYS constant in kernel and driver
sources, except a place which initialize maxphys. Some random (and
arguably weird) uses of MAXPHYS, e.g. in linuxolator, are converted
straight. Some drivers, which use MAXPHYS to size embeded structures,
get private MAXPHYS-like constant; their convertion is out of scope
for this work.

This change adds support for transparent superpages for PowerPC64
systems using Hashed Page Tables (HPT). All pmap operations are
supported.
The changes were inspired by RISC-V implementation of superpages,
by @markj (r344106), but heavily adapted to fit PPC64 HPT architecture
and existing MMU OEA64 code.
While these changes are not better tested, superpages support is disabled by
default. To enable it, use vm.pmap.superpages_enabled=1.
In this initial implementation, when superpages are disabled, system
performance stays at the same level as without these changes. When
superpages are enabled, buildworld time increases a bit (~2%). However,
for workloads that put a heavy pressure on the TLB the performance boost
is much bigger (see HPC Challenge and pgbench on D25237).

Currently we allocate and map zero-filled anonymous pages when dumping
core. This can result in lots of needless disk I/O and page
allocations. This change tries to make the core dumper more clever and
represent unbacked ranges of virtual memory by holes in the core dump
file.
Add a new page fault type, VM_FAULT_NOFILL, which causes vm_fault() to
clean up and return an error when it would otherwise map a zero-filled
page. Then, in the core dumper code, prefault all user pages and handle
errors by simply extending the size of the core file. This also fixes a
bug related to the fact that vn_io_fault1() does not attempt partial I/O
in the face of errors from vm_fault_quick_hold_pages(): if a truncated
file is mapped into a user process, an attempt to dump beyond the end of
the file results in an error, but this means that valid pages
immediately preceding the end of the file might not have been dumped
either.
The change reduces the core dump size of trivial programs by a factor of
ten simply by excluding unaccessed libc.so pages.

Summary:
POWER9 supports two MMU formats: traditional hashed page tables, and Radix
page tables, similar to what's presesnt on most other architectures. The
PowerISA also specifies a process table -- a table of page table pointers--
which on the POWER9 is only available with the Radix MMU, so we can take
advantage of it with the Radix MMU driver.

refcount(9) was recently extended to support waiting on a refcount to
drop to zero, as this was needed for a lockless VM object
paging-in-progress counter. However, this adds overhead to all uses of
refcount(9) and doesn't really match traditional refcounting semantics:
once a counter has dropped to zero, the protected object may be freed at
any point and it is not safe to dereference the counter.
This change removes that extension and instead adds a new set of KPIs,
blockcount_*, for use by VM object PIP and busy.

Previously swap space was freed on a best effort basis when a page that

done inconsistently and requires the object lock which is not always
convenient.
Instead, track when swap space is present. The first dirty is responsible
for deleting space or setting PGA_SWAP_FREE which will trigger background
scans to free the swap space.

Centralize calculation of signal and ucode delivered on unhandled page
fault in new function vm_fault_trap(). MD trap_pfault() now almost
always uses the signal numbers and error codes calculated in
consistent MI way.
This introduces the protection fault compatibility sysctls to all
non-x86 architectures which did not have that bug, but apparently they
were already much more wrong in selecting delivered signals on
protection violations.
Change the delivered signal for accesses to mapped area after the
backing object was truncated. According to POSIX description for
mmap(2):
The system shall always zero-fill any partial page at the end of an
object. Further, the system shall never write out any modified
portions of the last page of an object which are beyond its
end. References within the address range starting at pa and
continuing for len bytes to whole pages following the end of an
object shall result in delivery of a SIGBUS signal.
An implementation may generate SIGBUS signals when a reference
would cause an error in the mapped object, such as out-of-space
condition.
Adjust according to the description, keeping the existing
compatibility code for SIGSEGV/SIGBUS on protection failures.
For situations where kernel cannot handle page fault due to resource
limit enforcement, SIGBUS with a new error code BUS_OBJERR is
delivered. Also, provide a new error code SEGV_PKUERR for SIGSEGV on
amd64 due to protection key access violation.
vm_fault_hold() is renamed to vm_fault(). Fixed some nits in
trap_pfault()s like mis-interpreting Mach errors as errnos. Removed
unneeded truncations of the fault addresses reported by hardware.
