This is a last resort for very low memory condition in case other measures
to free memory were ineffective. Sequentially cycle through all CPUs and
extract per-CPU cache buckets into zone cache from where they can be freed.
Lock congestion is the same, whether it happens on alloc or free, so
handle it equally. Now that we have back pressure, there is no problem
to grow buckets a bit faster. Any way growth is much slower then in 9.x.
These new buckets make bucket size self-tuning more soft and precise.
Without them there are buckets for 1, 5, 13, 29, ... items. While at
bigger sizes difference about 2x is fine, at smallest ones it is 5x and
2.6x respectively. New buckets make that line look like 1, 3, 5, 9, 13,
29, reducing jumps between steps, making algorithm work softer, allocating
and freeing memory in better fitting chunks. Otherwise there is quite a
big gap between allocating 128K and 5x128K of RAM at once.
Every time system detects low memory condition decrease bucket sizes for
each zone by one item. As result, higher memory pressure will push to
smaller bucket sizes and so smaller per-CPU caches and so more efficient
memory use.
Before this change there was no force to oppose buckets growth as result
of practically inevitable zone lock conflicts, and after some run time
per-CPU caches could consume enough RAM to kill the system.

subsequent corruption.
Another lesser problem created by coalescing is over-accounting on the

in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.
The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.
The structure definition looks like this:
struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};
The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.
The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.
The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.
To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.
#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)
We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:
#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)
There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:
cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);
Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:
cap_rights_t rights;
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);
There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:
#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:
cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);
Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.
This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.

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().

- MAP_ALIGNED(n) requests a mapping aligned on a boundary of (1 << n).
Requests for n >= number of bits in a pointer or less than the size of

- MAP_ALIGNED_SUPER is a special case of MAP_ALIGNED. It can be used
to optimize the chances of using large pages. By default it will align
the mapping on a large page boundary (the system is free to choose any
large page size to align to that seems best for the mapping request).
However, if the object being mapped is already using large pages, then
it will align the virtual mapping to match the existing large pages in
the object instead.
- Internally, VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE is now renamed to VMFS_SUPER_SPACE, and
VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE(n) is repurposed for specifying a specific alignment.
MAP_ALIGNED(n) maps to using VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE(n), while
MAP_ALIGNED_SUPER maps to VMFS_SUPER_SPACE.
- mmap() of a device object now uses VMFS_OPTIMAL_SPACE rather than
