deb179bb4c The pmap function pmap_clear_reference() is no longer used. Remove it.
pmap_clear_reference() has had exactly one caller in the kernel for
several years, more precisely, since FreeBSD 8.  Now, that call no
longer exists.

51321f7c31 Significantly reduce the cost, i.e., run time, of calls to madvise(...,
MADV_DONTNEED) and madvise(..., MADV_FREE).  Specifically, introduce a new
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%.

Note: This change only contains pmap_advise() implementations for a subset
of our supported architectures.  I will commit implementations for the
remaining architectures after further testing.  For now, a stub function is
sufficient because of the advisory nature of pmap_advise().

5df87b21d3 Replace kernel virtual address space allocation with vmem. This provides
transparent layering and better fragmentation.

 - Normalize functions that allocate memory to use kmem_*
 - Those that allocate address space are named kva_*
 - Those that operate on maps are named kmap_*
 - Implement recursive allocation handling for kmem_arena in vmem.

e8a4a618cf Add pmap function pmap_copy_pages(), which copies the content of the
pages around, taking array of vm_page_t both for source and
destination.  Starting offsets and total transfer size are specified.

The function implements optimal algorithm for copying using the
platform-specific optimizations.  For instance, on the architectures
were the direct map is available, no transient mappings are created,
for i386 the per-cpu ephemeral page frame is used.  The code was
typically borrowed from the pmap_copy_page() for the same
architecture.

Only i386/amd64, powerpc aim and arm/arm-v6 implementations were
tested at the time of commit. High-level code, not committed yet to
the tree, ensures that the use of the function is only allowed after
explicit enablement.

For sparc64, the existing code has known issues and a stab is added
instead, to allow the kernel linking.

6031c68de4 The page flag PGA_WRITEABLE is set and cleared exclusively by the pmap
layer, but it is read directly by the MI VM layer.  This change introduces
pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in order to completely encapsulate all direct
access to PGA_WRITEABLE in the pmap layer.

Aesthetics aside, I am making this change because amd64 will likely begin
using an alternative method to track write mappings, and having
pmap_page_is_write_mapped() in place allows me to make such a change
without further modification to the MI VM layer.

As an added bonus, tidy up some nearby comments concerning page flags.

567e51e18c Roughly half of a typical pmap_mincore() implementation is machine-
independent code.  Move this code into mincore(), and eliminate the
page queues lock from pmap_mincore().

Push down the page queues lock into pmap_clear_modify(),
pmap_clear_reference(), and pmap_is_modified().  Assert that these
functions are never passed an unmanaged page.

Eliminate an inaccurate comment from powerpc/powerpc/mmu_if.m:
Contrary to what the comment says, pmap_mincore() is not simply an
optimization.  Without a complete pmap_mincore() implementation,
mincore() cannot return either MINCORE_MODIFIED or MINCORE_REFERENCED
because only the pmap can provide this information.

Eliminate the page queues lock from vfs_setdirty_locked_object(),
vm_pageout_clean(), vm_object_page_collect_flush(), and
vm_object_page_clean().  Generally speaking, these are all accesses
to the page's dirty field, which are synchronized by the containing
vm object's lock.

Reduce the scope of the page queues lock in vm_object_madvise() and
vm_page_dontneed().

7b85f59183 Resurrect pmap_is_referenced() and use it in mincore(). Essentially,
pmap_ts_referenced() is not always appropriate for checking whether or
not pages have been referenced because it clears any reference bits
that it encounters.  For example, in mincore(), clearing the reference
bits has two negative consequences.  First, it throws off the activity
count calculations performed by the page daemon.  Specifically, a page
on which mincore() has called pmap_ts_referenced() looks less active
to the page daemon than it should.  Consequently, the page could be
deactivated prematurely by the page daemon.  Arguably, this problem
could be fixed by having mincore() duplicate the activity count
calculation on the page.  However, there is a second problem for which
that is not a solution.  In order to clear a reference on a 4KB page,
it may be necessary to demote a 2/4MB page mapping.  Thus, a mincore()
by one process can have the side effect of demoting a superpage
mapping within another process!

1a4fcaebe3 o Introduce vm_sync_icache() for making the I-cache coherent with
the memory or D-cache, depending on the semantics of the platform.
    vm_sync_icache() is basically a wrapper around pmap_sync_icache(),
    that translates the vm_map_t argumument to pmap_t.
o   Introduce pmap_sync_icache() to all PMAP implementation. For powerpc
    it replaces the pmap_page_executable() function, added to solve
    the I-cache problem in uiomove_fromphys().
o   In proc_rwmem() call vm_sync_icache() when writing to a page that
    has execute permissions. This assures that when breakpoints are
    written, the I-cache will be coherent and the process will actually
    hit the breakpoint.
o   This also fixes the Book-E PMAP implementation that was missing
    necessary locking while trying to deal with the I-cache coherency
    in pmap_enter() (read: mmu_booke_enter_locked).

The key property of this change is that the I-cache is made coherent
*after* writes have been done. Doing it in the PMAP layer when adding
or changing a mapping means that the I-cache is made coherent *before*
any writes happen. The difference is key when the I-cache prefetches.

3153e878dd Add support to the virtual memory system for configuring machine-
dependent memory attributes:

Rename vm_cache_mode_t to vm_memattr_t.  The new name reflects the
fact that there are machine-dependent memory attributes that have
nothing to do with controlling the cache's behavior.

Introduce vm_object_set_memattr() for setting the default memory
attributes that will be given to an object's pages.

Introduce and use pmap_page_{get,set}_memattr() for getting and
setting a page's machine-dependent memory attributes.  Add full
support for these functions on amd64 and i386 and stubs for them on
the other architectures.  The function pmap_page_set_memattr() is also
responsible for any other machine-dependent aspects of changing a
page's memory attributes, such as flushing the cache or updating the
direct map.  The uses include kmem_alloc_contig(), vm_page_alloc(),
and the device pager:

  kmem_alloc_contig() can now be used to allocate kernel memory with
  non-default memory attributes on amd64 and i386.

  vm_page_alloc() and the device pager will set the memory attributes
  for the real or fictitious page according to the object's default
  memory attributes.

Update the various pmap functions on amd64 and i386 that map pages to
incorporate each page's memory attributes in the mapping.

Notes: (1) Inherent to this design are safety features that prevent
the specification of inconsistent memory attributes by different
mappings on amd64 and i386.  In addition, the device pager provides a
warning when a device driver creates a fictitious page with memory
attributes that are inconsistent with the real page that the
fictitious page is an alias for. (2) Storing the machine-dependent
memory attributes for amd64 and i386 as a dedicated "int" in "struct
md_page" represents a compromise between space efficiency and the ease
of MFCing these changes to RELENG_7.

59677d3c0e Prevent the leakage of wired pages in the following circumstances:
First, a file is mmap(2)ed and then mlock(2)ed.  Later, it is truncated.
Under "normal" circumstances, i.e., when the file is not mlock(2)ed, the
pages beyond the EOF are unmapped and freed.  However, when the file is
mlock(2)ed, the pages beyond the EOF are unmapped but not freed because
they have a non-zero wire count.  This can be a mistake.  Specifically,
it is a mistake if the sole reason why the pages are wired is because of
wired, managed mappings.  Previously, unmapping the pages destroys these
wired, managed mappings, but does not reduce the pages' wire count.
Consequently, when the file is unmapped, the pages are not unwired
because the wired mapping has been destroyed.  Moreover, when the vm
object is finally destroyed, the pages are leaked because they are still
wired.  The fix is to reduce the pages' wired count by the number of
wired, managed mappings destroyed.  To do this, I introduce a new pmap
function pmap_page_wired_mappings() that returns the number of managed
mappings to the given physical page that are wired, and I use this
function in vm_object_page_remove().

89b57fcf01 Fix for the panic("vm_thread_new: kstack allocation failed") and
silent NULL pointer dereference in the i386 and sparc64 pmap_pinit()
when the kmem_alloc_nofault() failed to allocate address space. Both
functions now return error instead of panicing or dereferencing NULL.

As consequence, vmspace_exec() and vmspace_unshare() returns the errno
int. struct vmspace arg was added to vm_forkproc() to avoid dealing
with failed allocation when most of the fork1() job is already done.

The kernel stack for the thread is now set up in the thread_alloc(),
that itself may return NULL. Also, allocation of the first process
thread is performed in the fork1() to properly deal with stack
allocation failure. proc_linkup() is separated into proc_linkup()
called from fork1(), and proc_linkup0(), that is used to set up the
kernel process (was known as swapper).

3cad40e517 Add pmap_clear_write() to the interface between the virtual memory
system's machine-dependent and machine-independent layers.  Once
pmap_clear_write() is implemented on all of our supported
architectures, I intend to replace all calls to pmap_page_protect() by
calls to pmap_clear_write().  Why?  Both the use and implementation of
pmap_page_protect() in our virtual memory system has subtle errors,
specifically, the management of execute permission is broken on some
architectures.  The "prot" argument to pmap_page_protect() should
behave differently from the "prot" argument to other pmap functions.
Instead of meaning, "give the specified access rights to all of the
physical page's mappings," it means "don't take away the specified
access rights from all of the physical page's mappings, but do take
away the ones that aren't specified."  However, owing to our i386
legacy, i.e., no support for no-execute rights, all but one invocation
of pmap_page_protect() specifies VM_PROT_READ only, when the intent
is, in fact, to remove only write permission.  Consequently, a
faithful implementation of pmap_page_protect(), e.g., ia64, would
remove execute permission as well as write permission.  On the other
hand, some architectures that support execute permission have
basically ignored whether or not VM_PROT_EXECUTE is passed to
pmap_page_protect(), e.g., amd64 and sparc64.  This change represents
the first step in replacing pmap_page_protect() by the less subtle
pmap_clear_write() that is already implemented on amd64, i386, and
sparc64.

or reclamation from the inactive queue fails.  Previously, reclamation
destroyed mappings to both inactive and active pages.  get_pv_entry()
still, however, wakes up the page daemon when reclamation occurs.  The
reason being that the page daemon may move some pages from the active
queue to the inactive queue, making some new pages available to future
reclamations.

ever since alpha/alpha/pmap.c revision 1.81 introduced the list allpmaps,

when pmap_growkernel() relied upon the list of all processes to find and
update the various pmaps to reflect a growth in the kernel's valid
address space, pmap_init2() served to avoid a race between pmap
initialization and pmap_growkernel().  Specifically, pmap_pinit2() was
responsible for initializing the kernel portions of the pmap and
pmap_pinit2() was called after the process structure contained a pointer
to the new pmap for use by pmap_growkernel().  Thus, an update to the
kernel's address space might be applied to the new pmap unnecessarily,
but an update would never be lost.

1f78f902a8 Background: pmap_object_init_pt() premaps the pages of a object in
order to avoid the overhead of later page faults.  In general, it
implements two cases: one for vnode-backed objects and one for
device-backed objects.  Only the device-backed case is really
machine-dependent, belonging in the pmap.

This commit moves the vnode-backed case into the (relatively) new
function vm_map_pmap_enter().  On amd64 and i386, this commit only
amounts to code rearrangement.  On alpha and ia64, the new machine
independent (MI) implementation of the vnode case is smaller and more
efficient than their pmap-based implementations.  (The MI
implementation takes advantage of the fact that objects in -CURRENT
are ordered collections of pages.)  On sparc64, pmap_object_init_pt()

- Get rid of the useless atop() / pmap_phys_address() detour.  The
  device mmap handlers must now give back the physical address
  without atop()'ing it.
- Don't borrow the physical address of the mapping in the returned
  int.  Now we properly pass a vm_offset_t * and expect it to be
  filled by the mmap handler when the mapping was successful.  The
  mmap handler must now return 0 when successful, any other value
  is considered as an error.  Previously, returning -1 was the only
  way to fail.  This change thus accidentally fixes some devices
  which were bogusly returning errno constants which would have been
  considered as addresses by the device pager.
- Garbage collect the poorly named pmap_phys_address() now that it's
  no longer used.
- Convert all the d_mmap_t consumers to the new API.

I'm still not sure wheter we need a __FreeBSD_version bump for this,
since and we didn't guarantee API/ABI stability until 5.1-RELEASE.

eea85e9bb6 Move pmap_collect() out of the machine-dependent code, rename it
to reflect its new location, and add page queue and flag locking.

Notes: (1) alpha, i386, and ia64 had identical implementations
of pmap_collect() in terms of machine-independent interfaces;
(2) sparc64 doesn't require it; (3) powerpc had it as a TODO.

6372d61e3e - Clear the page's PG_WRITEABLE flag in the i386's pmap_changebit()
if we're removing write access from the page's PTEs.
 - Export pmap_remove_all() on alpha, i386, and ia64.  (It's already
   exported on sparc64.)

316ec49abd Some kernel threads try to do significant work, and the default KSTACK_PAGES
doesn't give them enough stack to do much before blowing away the pcb.
This adds MI and MD code to allow the allocation of an alternate kstack
who's size can be speficied when calling kthread_create.  Passing the
value 0 prevents the alternate kstack from being created.  Note that the
ia64 MD code is missing for now, and PowerPC was only partially written
due to the pmap.c being incomplete there.
Though this patch does not modify anything to make use of the alternate
kstack, acpi and usb are good candidates.

a58b3a6878 Add a special page zero entry point intended to be called via the single
threaded VM pagezero kthread outside of Giant.  For some platforms, this
is really easy since it can just use the direct mapped region.  For others,
IPI sending is involved or there are other issues, so grab Giant when
needed.

We still have preemption issues to deal with, but Alan Cox has an
interesting suggestion on how to minimize the problem on x86.

Use Luigi's hack for preserving the (lack of) priority.

Turn the idle zeroing back on since it can now actually do something useful
outside of Giant in many cases.

a136efe9b6 Collect all the (now equivalent) pmap_new_proc/pmap_dispose_proc/
pmap_swapin_proc/pmap_swapout_proc functions from the MD pmap code
and use a single equivalent MI version.  There are other cleanups
needed still.

While here, use the UMA zone hooks to keep a cache of preinitialized
proc structures handy, just like the thread system does.  This eliminates
one dependency on 'struct proc' being persistent even after being freed.
There are some comments about things that can be factored out into
ctor/dtor functions if it is worth it.  For now they are mostly just
doing statistics to get a feel of how it is working.
