A complete rewrite by dillon and myself to separate
the implementation of behaviors that effect the vm_map_entry
from those that effect the vm_object.
A result of this change is that madvise(..., MADV_FREE);
is much cheaper.
This setting is also acceptable for Celerons and Pentium Pros
with less than 1MB L2 caches.
Note: PQ_L2_SIZE is a misnomer. The correct number of colors is
a function of the cache's degree of associativity as well as its size.

Now that behaviors are stored in the vm_map_entry rather than
the vm_object, it's no longer necessary to instantiate a vm_object
just to hold the behavior.

Remove the one and only (and thus pointless) reference
to PQ_NONE's lcnt.
When creating new processes (or performing exec), the new page
directory is initialized too early. The kernel might grow before
p_vmspace is initialized for the new process. Since pmap_growkernel
doesn't yet know about the new page directory, it isn't updated, and
subsequent use causes a failure.
The fix is (1) to clear p_vmspace early, to stop pmap_growkernel
from stomping on memory, and (2) to defer part of the initialization
of new page directories until p_vmspace is initialized.

vm_map.c:
Don't set OBJ_ONEMAPPING on arbitrary vm objects. Only default
and swap type vm objects should have it set. vm_object_deallocate
already handles these cases.
vm_object.c:
If OBJ_ONEMAPPING isn't already clear in vm_object_shadow,
we are in trouble. Instead of clearing it, make it
an assertion that it is already clear.
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.

One thing I'd like to do shortly is get rid of nfsiod as a user initiated

Provide functions to manipulate both types:

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).
Made a new (inline) function devsw(dev_t dev) and substituted it.
Changed to the BDEV variant to this format as well: bdevsw(dev_t dev)
DEVFS will eventually benefit from this change too.
Virtualize bdevsw[] from cdevsw. bdevsw() is now an (inline)
function.

to the order of the cmaj/bmaj arguments!)

(Next step will be to convert all bdev dev_t's to cdev dev_t's
before they get to do any damage^H^H^H^H^H^Hwork in the kernel.)
piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no
end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed
them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully
instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however,
optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations,
you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in
the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache
coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also
optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the
read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further
optimization in these areas.
The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid =
VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This
is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now
responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper
routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of
a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is
necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often
when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed
in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF
situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing
B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE.
getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now
formally defined in comments and more straightforward in
implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of
the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on
whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear,
and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE
when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite()
is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE
routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now
expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also
set B_CACHE indirectly.
There are a number of places in the code which were previously using
buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have
been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears
B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about
dealing with B_DONE.
Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause
requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting
other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be
recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes.
