<sys/bio.h> is now a prerequisite for <sys/buf.h> but it shall
not be made a nested include according to bdes teachings on the
subject of nested includes.

Diskdrivers and similar stuff below specfs::strategy() should no
longer need to include <sys/buf.> unless they need caching of data.

05ecdd7037 Don't try so hard to make the lower 16 bits of fsids unique. It tended
to recycle full fsids after only 16 mount/unmount's.  This is probably
too often for exported fsids.  Now we recycle the full fsids only
after 2^16 mount/ umount's and only ensure uniqueness in the lower 16
bits if there have been <= 256 calls to vfs_getnewfsid() since the
system started.

61214975da Try harder to make the lower 16 bits of fsids unique. The vfs type
number was packed very wastefully, giving perfect non-uniqeness in
the lower 16 bits of fsids for filesystems with the same vfs type.
This made linux_stat() return perfectly non-unique (broken) 16-bit
st_dev's for nfs mount points, and effectively reduced mntid_base to
8 bits so that the vfs_getnewfsid() looped endlessly when there are
already 256 mounted filesystems with the required vfs type.

9a2b8fca80 This patch fixes a locking bug that can result in deadlock if
the codepath is followed.

From the PR:

  vclean calls vrele leading to deadlock (if usecount > 0)

  vclean() calls vrele() if v_usecount of the node was higher than one.
  But before calling it, it sets the VXLOCK flag, which will make
  vn_lock called from vrele dead-lock.

411e1480fd Remove the P_BUFEXHAUST flag from the syncer process (leaving
it only on the buf_daemon process). The problem is that when the
syncer process starts running the worklist, it wants to delete
lots of files. It does this by VFS_VGET'ing the vnodes, clearing
the blocks in them and bdwrite'ing the buffer. It can process close
to a thousand files per second which generates a large number of
dirty buffers. So, giving it special priviledge at the buffer trough
leads to trouble as the buf_daemon does occationally need a free
buffer to proceed and if the syncer has used every last one up,
we are toast.

c37c9620cd Enhance reassignbuf(). When a buffer cannot be time-optimally inserted
into vnode dirtyblkhd we append it to the list instead of prepend it to
    the list in order to maintain a 'forward' locality of reference, which
    is arguably better then 'reverse'.  The original algorithm did things this
    way to but at a huge time cost.

4f79d873c1 Add MAP_NOSYNC feature to mmap(), and MADV_NOSYNC and MADV_AUTOSYNC to
madvise().

    This feature prevents the update daemon from gratuitously flushing
    dirty pages associated with a mapped file-backed region of memory.  The
    system pager will still page the memory as necessary and the VM system
    will still be fully coherent with the filesystem.  Modifications made
    by other means to the same area of memory, for example by write(), are
    unaffected.  The feature works on a page-granularity basis.

    MAP_NOSYNC allows one to use mmap() to share memory between processes
    without incuring any significant filesystem overhead, putting it in
    the same performance category as SysV Shared memory and anonymous memory.

dbafb3660f Simplify the handling of VCHR and VBLK vnodes using the new dev_t:
Make the alias list a SLIST.

        Drop the "fast recycling" optimization of vnodes (including
        the returning of a prexisting but stale vnode from checkalias).
        It doesn't buy us anything now that we don't hardlimit
        vnodes anymore.

        Rename checkalias2() and checkalias() to addalias() and
        addaliasu() - which takes dev_t and udev_t arg respectively.

        Make the revoke syscalls use vcount() instead of VALIASED.

        Remove VALIASED flag, we don't need it now and it is faster
        to traverse the much shorter lists than to maintain the
        flag.

        vfs_mountedon() can check the dev_t directly, all the vnodes
        point to the same one.

a2801b7731 Support full-precision file timestamps. Until now, only the seconds
have been maintained, and that is still the default.  A new sysctl
variable "vfs.timestamp_precision" can be used to enable higher
levels of precision:

      0 = seconds only; nanoseconds zeroed (default).
      1 = seconds and nanoseconds, accurate within 1/HZ.
      2 = seconds and nanoseconds, truncated to microseconds.
    >=3 = seconds and nanoseconds, maximum precision.

Level 1 uses getnanotime(), which is fast but can be wrong by up
to 1/HZ.  Level 2 uses microtime().  It might be desirable for
consistency with utimes() and friends, which take timeval structures
rather than timespecs.  Level 3 uses nanotime() for the higest
precision.

I benchmarked levels 0, 1, and 3 by copying a 550 MB tree with
"cpio -pdu".  There was almost negligible difference in the system
times -- much less than 1%, and less than the variation among
multiple runs at the same level.  Bruce Evans dreamed up a torture
test involving 1-byte reads with intervening fstat() calls, but
the cpio test seems more realistic to me.

This feature is currently implemented only for the UFS (FFS and
MFS) filesystems.  But I think it should be easy to support it in
the others as well.

An earlier version of this was reviewed by Bruce.  He's not to
blame for any breakage I've introduced since then.

698bfad7f2 Now a dev_t is a pointer to struct specinfo which is shared by all specdev
vnodes referencing this device.

Details:
        cdevsw->d_parms has been removed, the specinfo is available
        now (== dev_t) and the driver should modify it directly
        when applicable, and the only driver doing so, does so:
        vn.c.  I am not sure the logic in checking for "<" was right
        before, and it looks even less so now.

        An intial pool of 50 struct specinfo are depleted during
        early boot, after that malloc had better work.  It is
        likely that fewer than 50 would do.

        Hashing is done from udev_t to dev_t with a prime number
        remainder hash, experiments show no better hash available
        for decent cost (MD5 is only marginally better)  The prime
        number used should not be close to a power of two, we use
        83 for now.

        Add new checkalias2() to get around the loss of info from
        dev2udev() in bdevvp();

        The aliased vnodes are hung on a list straight of the dev_t,
        and speclisth[SPECSZ] is unused.  The sharing of struct
        specinfo means that the v_specnext moves into the vnode
        which grows by 4 bytes.

        Don't use a VBLK dev_t which doesn't make sense in MFS, now
        we hang a dummy cdevsw on B/Cmaj 253 so that things look sane.

	Storage overhead from all of this is O(50k).

ad8ac923fa These changes appear to give us benefits with both small (32MB) and
large (1G) memory machine configurations.  I was able to run 'dbench 32'
on a 32MB system without bring the machine to a grinding halt.

    * buffer cache hash table now dynamically allocated.  This will
      have no effect on memory consumption for smaller systems and
      will help scale the buffer cache for larger systems.

    * minor enhancement to pmap_clearbit().  I noticed that
      all the calls to it used constant arguments.  Making
      it an inline allows the constants to propogate to
      deeper inlines and should produce better code.

      of appropriate #ifdef's, with John's permission.  If we do not
      find a use for it by the end of the year we will remove it entirely.

    * removal of getnewbufloops* counters & sysctl's - no longer
      necessary for debugging, getnewbuf() is now optimal.

    * buffer hash table functions removed from sys/buf.h and localized
      to vfs_bio.c

    * VFS_BIO_NEED_DIRTYFLUSH flag and support code added
      ( bwillwrite() ), allowing processes to block when too many dirty
      buffers are present in the system.

    * removal of a softdep test in bdwrite() that is no longer necessary
      now that bdwrite() no longer attempts to flush dirty buffers.

    * slight optimization added to bqrelse() - there is no reason
      to test for available buffer space on B_DELWRI buffers.

    * addition of reverse-scanning code to vfs_bio_awrite().
      vfs_bio_awrite() will attempt to locate clusterable areas
      in both the forward and reverse direction relative to the
      offset of the buffer passed to it.  This will probably not
      make much of a difference now, but I believe we will start
      to rely on it heavily in the future if we decide to shift
      some of the burden of the clustering closer to the actual
      I/O initiation.

    * Removal of the newbufcnt and lastnewbuf counters that Kirk
      added.  They do not fix any race conditions that haven't already
      been fixed by the gbincore() test done after the only call
      to getnewbuf().  getnewbuf() is a static, so there is no chance
      of it being misused by other modules.  ( Unless Kirk can think
      of a specific thing that this code fixes.  I went through it
      very carefully and didn't see anything ).

    * removal of VOP_ISLOCKED() check in flushbufqueues().  I do not
      think this check is necessary, the buffer should flush properly
      whether the vnode is locked or not. ( yes? ).

    * removal of extra arguments passed to getnewbuf() that are not
      necessary.

    * missed cluster_wbuild() that had to be a cluster_wbuild_wb() in
      vfs_cluster.c

    * vn_write() now calls bwillwrite() *PRIOR* to locking the vnode,
      which should greatly aid flushing operations in heavy load
      situations - both the pageout and update daemons will be able
      to operate more efficiently.

    * removal of b_usecount.  We may add it back in later but for now
      it is useless.  Prior implementations of the buffer cache never
      had enough buffers for it to be useful, and current implementations
      which make more buffers available might not benefit relative to
      the amount of sophistication required to implement a b_usecount.
      Straight LRU should work just as well, especially when most things
      are VMIO backed.  I expect that (even though John will not like
      this assumption) directories will become VMIO backed some point soon.

e929c00d23 The buffer queue mechanism has been reformulated. Instead of having
QUEUE_AGE, QUEUE_LRU, and QUEUE_EMPTY we instead have QUEUE_CLEAN,
QUEUE_DIRTY, QUEUE_EMPTY, and QUEUE_EMPTYKVA.  With this patch clean
and dirty buffers have been separated.  Empty buffers with KVM
assignments have been separated from truely empty buffers.  getnewbuf()
has been rewritten and now operates in a 100% optimal fashion.  That is,
it is able to find precisely the right kind of buffer it needs to
allocate a new buffer, defragment KVM, or to free-up an existing buffer
when the buffer cache is full (which is a steady-state situation for
the buffer cache).

Buffer flushing has been reorganized.  Previously buffers were flushed
in the context of whatever process hit the conditions forcing buffer
flushing to occur.  This resulted in processes blocking on conditions
unrelated to what they were doing.  This also resulted in inappropriate
VFS stacking chains due to multiple processes getting stuck trying to
flush dirty buffers or due to a single process getting into a situation
where it might attempt to flush buffers recursively - a situation that
was only partially fixed in prior commits.  We have added a new daemon
called the buf_daemon which is responsible for flushing dirty buffers
when the number of dirty buffers exceeds the vfs.hidirtybuffers limit.
This daemon attempts to dynamically adjust the rate at which dirty buffers
are flushed such that getnewbuf() calls (almost) never block.

The number of nbufs and amount of buffer space is now scaled past the
8MB limit that was previously imposed for systems with over 64MB of
memory, and the vfs.{lo,hi}dirtybuffers limits have been relaxed
somewhat.  The number of physical buffers has been increased with the
intention that we will manage physical I/O differently in the future.

reassignbuf previously attempted to keep the dirtyblkhd list sorted which
could result in non-deterministic operation under certain conditions,
such as when a large number of dirty buffers are being managed.  This
algorithm has been changed.  reassignbuf now keeps buffers locally sorted
if it can do so cheaply, and otherwise gives up and adds buffers to
the head of the dirtyblkhd list.  The new algorithm is deterministic but
not perfect.  The new algorithm greatly reduces problems that previously
occured when write_behind was turned off in the system.

The P_FLSINPROG proc->p_flag bit has been replaced by the more descriptive
P_BUFEXHAUST bit.  This bit allows processes working with filesystem
buffers to use available emergency reserves.  Normal processes do not set
this bit and are not allowed to dig into emergency reserves.  The purpose
of this bit is to avoid low-memory deadlocks.

A small race condition was fixed in getpbuf() in vm/vm_pager.c.

9c8b8baa38 Slight reorganization of kernel thread/process creation. Instead of using
SYSINIT_KT() etc (which is a static, compile-time procedure), use a
NetBSD-style kthread_create() interface.  kproc_start is still available
as a SYSINIT() hook.  This allowed simplification of chunks of the
sysinit code in the process.  This kthread_create() is our old kproc_start
internals, with the SYSINIT_KT fork hooks grafted in and tweaked to work
the same as the NetBSD one.

One thing I'd like to do shortly is get rid of nfsiod as a user initiated
process.  It makes sense for the nfs client code to create them on the
fly as needed up to a user settable limit.  This means that nfsiod
doesn't need to be in /sbin and is always "available".  This is a fair bit
easier to do outside of the SYSINIT_KT() framework.

bfbb9ce670 Divorce "dev_t" from the "major|minor" bitmap, which is now called
udev_t in the kernel but still called dev_t in userland.

Provide functions to manipulate both types:
        major()         umajor()
        minor()         uminor()
        makedev()       umakedev()
        dev2udev()      udev2dev()

For now they're functions, they will become in-line functions
after one of the next two steps in this process.

Return major/minor/makedev to macro-hood for userland.

Register a name in cdevsw[] for the "filedescriptor" driver.

In the kernel the udev_t appears in places where we have the
major/minor number combination, (ie: a potential device: we
may not have the driver nor the device), like in inodes, vattr,
cdevsw registration and so on, whereas the dev_t appears where
we carry around a reference to a actual device.

In the future the cdevsw and the aliased-from vnode will be hung
directly from the dev_t, along with up to two softc pointers for
the device driver and a few houskeeping bits.  This will essentially
replace the current "alias" check code (same buck, bigger bang).

A little stunt has been provided to try to catch places where the
wrong type is being used (dev_t vs udev_t), if you see something
not working, #undef DEVT_FASCIST in kern/kern_conf.c and see if
it makes a difference.  If it does, please try to track it down
(many hands make light work) or at least try to reproduce it
as simply as possible, and describe how to do that.

Without DEVT_FASCIST I belive this patch is a no-op.

Stylistic/posixoid comments about the userland view of the <sys/*.h>
files welcome now, from userland they now contain the end result.

Next planned step: make all dev_t's refer to the same devsw[] which
means convert BLK's to CHR's at the perimeter of the vnodes and
other places where they enter the game (bootdev, mknod, sysctl).

This change implements a relatively sophisticated fix to getnewbuf().
There were two problems with getnewbuf(). First, the writerecursion
can lead to a system stack overflow when you have NFS and/or VN
devices in the system. Second, the free/dirty buffer accounting was
completely broken. Not only did the nfs routines blow it trying to
manually account for the buffer state, but the accounting that was
done did not work well with the purpose of their existance: figuring
out when getnewbuf() needs to sleep.

The meat of the change is to kern/vfs_bio.c. The remaining diffs are
all minor except for NFS, which includes both the fixes for bp
interaction AND fixes for a 'biodone(): buffer already done' lockup.
Sys/buf.h also contains a chaining structure which is not used by
this patchset but is used by other patches that are coming soon.

16e9e530cc Convert lists for bufs attached to vnodes from a LIST to a TAILQ.
- Use TAILQ_* macros extensively instead of internal names
- use b_xflags instead of the NOLIST magic number hack in the next pointer
- clean bufs are inserted at the tail rather than the head.
- redo dirty buffer insert so that metadata (negative lbn) goes to the
  tail directly rather than at the HEAD.  This makes a difference when
  inserting dirty data blocks in lbn sorted order since data block
  insertion will not have to bypass all the metadata cruft.  data is
  lbn sorted since it makes sense for clustering and writeback ordering,
  while metadata sorting doesn't help much since the lbn's are
  meaningless when walking the list for writebacks.

Small systems will not notice much (if any) benefit from this, but really
busy systems with large dirty block lists should get a lot more.

I've tested this with softdep, and it doesn't seem to mind the change of
queueing of metadata.

   Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit

   pagers and their callers to deal with this properly.
2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that
   caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing
   the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers.
