c0877f103f Tighten up management of memory and swap space during map allocation,
deallocation cycles.  This should provide a measurable improvement
on swap and memory allocation on loaded systems.  It is unlikely a
complete solution.  Also, provide more map info with procfs.
Chuck Cranor spurred on this improvement.

8f9110f6a1 This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There
has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code.  These
problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can
still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances.  Most of
the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke
the vfs.ioopt code.  This code might have been committed seperately, but
almost everything is interrelated.

1)	Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that
	are fully valid.
2)	Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in
	kern_exec, we now free them.
3)	Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent
	(missing vp) state.
4)	Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse.  The previous
	code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances.
5)	Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release.
6)	Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK
	files in vfs_bio_awrite.  When the code is functional, I'll add back
	a cleaner version.
7)	The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were
	incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me.  Revert to the
	original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation.
8)	The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers
	more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed
	that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed.
9)	Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE.  The
	delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the
	length of the time intervals.
10)	Correct and clean-up spec_getpages.
11)	Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages.
12)	Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on
	the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.)
13)	Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS.
14)	Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from
	vm_map_clean.
15)	Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that
	fewer in-transit waits occur.  (use p->busy more for pageouts instead
	of PG_BUSY.)  Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for
	reads.
16)	It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy.  Make the
	page allocation code handle that case correctly.  (It should probably
	be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors
	robustly.  I'll probably add a printf.)
17)	Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep.  It didn't handle
	consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less
	lofty.  After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important
	to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and
	verify it's status (always.)
18)	In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up.
19)	Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush.
20)	Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag
	instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.

ffc82b0a70 1) Use a more consistent page wait methodology.
2)	Do not unnecessarily force page blocking when paging
	pages out.
3)	Further improve swap pager performance and correctness,
	including fixing the paging in progress deadlock (except
	in severe I/O error conditions.)
4)	Enable vfs_ioopt=1 as a default.
5)	Fix and enable the page prezeroing in SMP mode.

All in all, SMP systems especially should show a significant
improvement in "snappyness."

e47ed70b0f Significantly improve the efficiency of the swap pager, which appears to
have declined due to code-rot over time.  The swap pager rundown code
has been clean-up, and unneeded wakeups removed.  Lots of splbio's
are changed to splvm's.  Also, set the dynamic tunables for the
pageout daemon to be more sane for larger systems (thereby decreasing
the daemon overheadla.)

eaf13dd73a Change the busy page mgmt, so that when pages are freed, they
MUST be PG_BUSY.  It is bogus to free a page that isn't busy,
because it is in a state of being "unavailable" when being
freed.  The additional advantage is that the page_remove code
has a better cross-check that the page should be busy and
unavailable for other use.  There were some minor problems
with the collapse code, and this plugs those subtile "holes."

Also, the vfs_bio code wasn't checking correctly for PG_BUSY
pages.  I am going to develop a more consistant scheme for
grabbing pages, busy or otherwise.  For now, we are stuck
with the current morass.

2d8acc0f4a VM level code cleanups.
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.)

b9dcd593ff Fixed type mismatches for functions with args of type vm_prot_t and/or
vm_inherit_t.  These types are smaller than ints, so the prototypes
should have used the promoted type (int) to match the old-style function
definitions.  They use just vm_prot_t and/or vm_inherit_t.  This depends
on gcc features to work.  I fixed the definitions since this is easiest.
The correct fix may be to change the small types to u_int, to optimize
for time instead of space.

4f4d35edf0 This commit is meant to solve a couple of VM system problems or
performance issues.

	1) The pmap module has had too many inlines, and so the
	   object file is simply bigger than it needs to be.
	   Some common code is also merged into subroutines.
	2) Removal of some *evil* PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE macro calls.
	   Unfortunately, a few have needed to be added also.
	   The removal caused the need for more vm_page_lookups.
	   I added lookup hints to minimize the need for the
	   page table lookup operations.
	3) Removal of some bogus performance improvements, that
	   mostly made the code more complex (tracking individual
	   page table page updates unnecessarily).  Those improvements
	   actually hurt 386 processors perf (not that people who
	   worry about perf use 386 processors anymore :-)).
	4) Changed pv queue manipulations/structures to be TAILQ's.
	5) The pv queue code has had some performance problems since
	   day one.  Some significant scalability issues are resolved
	   by threading the pv entries from the pmap AND the physical
	   address instead of just the physical address.  This makes
	   certain pmap operations run much faster.  This does
	   not affect most micro-benchmarks, but should help loaded system
	   performance *significantly*.  DG helped and came up with most
	   of the solution for this one.
	6) Most if not all pmap bit operations follow the pattern:
		pmap_test_bit();
		pmap_clear_bit();
	   That made for twice the necessary pv list traversal.   The
	   pmap interface now supports only pmap_tc_bit type operations:
	   pmap_[test/clear]_modified, pmap_[test/clear]_referenced.
	   Additionally, the modified routine now takes a vm_page_t arg
	   instead of a phys address.  This eliminates a PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE
	   operation.
	7) Several rewrites of routines that contain redundant code to
	   use common routines, so that there is a greater likelihood of
	   keeping the cache footprint smaller.

b18bfc3da7 This set of commits to the VM system does the following, and contain
contributions or ideas from Stephen McKay <syssgm@devetir.qld.gov.au>,
Alan Cox <alc@cs.rice.edu>, David Greenman <davidg@freebsd.org> and me:

	More usage of the TAILQ macros.  Additional minor fix to queue.h.
	Performance enhancements to the pageout daemon.
		Addition of a wait in the case that the pageout daemon
		has to run immediately.
		Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.
	Significant revamp of the pmap/fork code:
		1) PTE's and UPAGES's are NO LONGER in the process's map.
		2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
		3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
		4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
		5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
		6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer
		   and not an entire entry.
		7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
		8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
		   fork code from vm_glue.  Pushed much of that code into
		   the machine dependent pmap module.
		9) Support more completely the reuse of already zeroed
		   pages (Page table pages and page directories) as being
		   already zeroed.
	Performance and code cleanups in vm_map:
		1) Improved and simplified allocation of map entries.
		2) Improved vm_map_copy code.
		3) Corrected some minor problems in the simplify code.
	Implemented splvm (combo of splbio and splimp.)  The VM code now
		seldom uses splhigh.
	Improved the speed of and simplified kmem_malloc.
	Minor mod to vm_fault to avoid using pre-zeroed pages in the case
		of objects with backing objects along with the already
		existant condition of having a vnode.  (If there is a backing
		object, there will likely be a COW...  With a COW, it isn't
		necessary to start with a pre-zeroed page.)
	Minor reorg of source to perhaps improve locality of ref.

24a1cce34f NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct
proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!!

Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of
changes:

1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages,
   haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now
   provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take
   struct vm_object's instead of "pagers".

2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant
   confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a
   pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has
   escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is
   used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager
   structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were
   unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union
   was created in the object to contain these items.

3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now
   be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(),
   vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the
   things that were removed.

4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the
   SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism
   that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code
   was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The
   locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward
   making the code difficult to read and debug.

5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel
   thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really
   dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete
   thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong.
   We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance.

6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the
   pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and
   are now faster and easier to maintain.

7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and
   now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after
   the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein
   algorithm and should provide better overall performance.

8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup
   have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed.

9) Some almost useless debugging code removed.

10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out.
    The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this
    backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing
    object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct
    in the Mach terminology.

11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused
    0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended.

12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition
    of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code
    for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides
    the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something
    other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it
    allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made
    dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do
    this, of course).

13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy
    object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non-
    standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its
    behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will
    continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics
    of MAP_PRIVATE.

14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a
    threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13
    were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain-
    ability. (As were most all of these changes)

TODO:

1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing
   this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size.

2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering
   information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will
   substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of
   VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be
   improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of
   contiguousness.

3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage().
   It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind.

4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps
   via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk
   striping of regular filesystems.

5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The
   fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about
   how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow
   for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by
   other pagers).

5f55e84104 Accessing pages beyond the end of a mapped file results in internal
inconsistencies in the VM system that eventually lead to a panic. These
changes fix the behavior to conform to the behavior in SunOS, which is
to deny faults to pages beyond the EOF (returning SIGBUS). Internally,
this is implemented by requiring faults to be within the object size
boundaries. These changes exposed another bug, namely that passing in
an offset to mmap when trying to map an unnamed anonymous region also
results in internal inconsistencies. In this case, the offset is forced
to zero.

a401ebbe32 Changed swap partition handling/allocation so that it doesn't
require specific partitions be mentioned in the kernel config
file ("swap on foo" is now obsolete).

From Poul-Henning:

The visible effect is this:

As default, unless
        options "NSWAPDEV=23"
is in your config, you will have four swap-devices.
You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have
to be in the kernel config.

There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right
(but only if you have just one swap-device ??), but using that as default
would be too restrictive.

The invisible effect is that:

Swap-handling disappears from the $arch part of the kernel.
It gets a lot simpler (-145 lines) and cleaner.

0d94caffca These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache,
much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.

The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.

The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.

vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme.  The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface.  Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.

vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache.  Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.

vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code.  Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.

vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now.  Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code.  This code has been reworked from the ground-up.

vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.

pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.

vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code.  No more gratuitous swapping.

proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.

swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency.  Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.

machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.

machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.

ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache.  Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

976e77fc9c 1) Some of the counters in the vmmeter struct don't fit well into the Mach VM
scheme of things, so I've changed them to be more appropriate. page in/ous
   are now associated with the pager that did them. Nuked v_fault as the
   only fault of interest that wouldn't be already counted in v_trap is a VM
   fault, and this is counted seperately.
2) Implemented most of the remaining counters and corrected the counting of
   some that were done wrong. They are all almost correct now...just a few
   minor ones left to fix.
