- provide an interface (macros) to the page coloring part of the VM system,
this allows to try different coloring algorithms without the need to
touch every file [1]
- make the page queue tuning values readable: sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue
- autotuning of the page coloring values based upon the cache size instead
of options in the kernel config (disabling of the page coloring as a
kernel option is still possible)
MD changes:
- detection of the cache size: only IA32 and AMD64 (untested) contains
cache size detection code, every other arch just comes with a dummy
function (this results in the use of default values like it was the
case without the autotuning of the page coloring)
- print some more info on Intel CPU's (like we do on AMD and Transmeta
CPU's)
Note to AMD owners (IA32 and AMD64): please run "sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue"
and report if the cache* values are zero (= bug in the cache detection code)
or not.

- Allow to use memguard for kernel modules by providing sysctl
vm.memguard.desc, which can be changed to short description of memory
type before module is loaded.
- Move as much memguard code as possible to memguard.c.
- Add sysctl node vm.memguard. and move memguard-specific sysctl there.
- Add malloc_desc2type() function for finding memory type based on its

- Memory type can be changed (via vm.memguard.desc sysctl) only if it

If there is allocated memory for the given memory type, return EBUSY.

ephemeral mappings that are used as the source for three copy
operations from kernel space to user space. There are two reasons for
making this change: (1) Under heavy load exec_map can fill up causing
vm_map_find() to fail. When it fails, the nascent process is aborted
(SIGABRT). Whereas, this reimplementation using sf_buf_alloc()
sleeps. (2) Although it is possible to sleep on vm_map_find()'s
failure until address space becomes available (see kmem_alloc_wait()),
using sf_buf_alloc() is faster. Furthermore, the reimplementation
uses a CPU private mapping, avoiding a TLB shootdown on
multiprocessors.

reclamation synchronously from get_pv_entry() instead of
asynchronously as part of the page daemon. Additionally, limit the
reclamation to inactive pages unless allocation from the PV entry zone
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.
Print the "reclaiming PV entries" message at most once per minute, but
don't stop printing it after the fifth time. This way, we do not give
the impression that the problem has gone away.

not just the one that we fault on. Otherwise, the mappings will no longer

memory monitoring tools such as vmstat.
- Remove punctuation that is incompatible with using memory type names
as file names, such as '/' characters.
- Disambiguate some collisions by adding subsystem prefixes to some
memory types.
- Generally prefer lower case to upper case.
- If the same type is defined in multiple architecture directories,

vm_object_backing_scan() was not written to handle. Specifically, a wired
page within a backing object that is shadowed by a page within the shadow
object. Handle this state by removing the wired page from the backing
object. The wired page will be freed by socow_iodone().
Stop masking errors: If a page is being freed by vm_object_backing_scan(),
assert that it is no longer mapped rather than quietly destroying any
mappings.

Before this change a copy operation with cp(1) would not update the
file access times.
According to the POSIX mmap(2) documentation: the st_atime field
of the mapped file may be marked for update at any time between the
mmap() call and the corresponding munmap() call. The initial read
or write reference to a mapped region shall cause the file's st_atime
field to be marked for update if it has not already been marked for
update.
I'm not sure this is the right thing to do, but at least I don't panic
anymore when swapping on a NFS file without using md(4).

due to the vm object being locked.
When a process writes large amounts of data to a file, the vm object associated
with that file can contain most of the physical pages on the machine. If the
process is preempted while holding the lock on the vm object, pagedaemon would
be able to move very few pages from PQ_INACTIVE to PQ_CACHE or from PQ_ACTIVE
to PQ_INACTIVE, resulting in unlimited cleaning of dirty pages belonging to
other vm objects.
Temporarily unlock the page queues lock while locking vm objects to avoid lock
order violation. Detect and handle relevant page queue changes.
This change depends on both the lock portion of struct vm_object and normal
struct vm_page being type stable.

Previously, it was set unconditionally by bufdone() without holding
whichever lock is shared by the b_iodone callback and the corresponding
top-half function. Consequently, in a race, the top-half function could
conclude that operation was done before the b_iodone callback finished.
See, for example, aio_physwakeup() and aio_fphysio().

during slab teardown in order to invoke its fini() method. Also use
the flag when UMA is freeing its internal objects.

it covers the following of the uc_alloc/freebucket cache pointers.
Originally, I felt that the race wasn't helped by holding the mutex,
hence a comment in the code and not holding it across the cache access.
However, it does improve consistency, as while it doesn't prevent
bucket exchange, it does prevent bucket pointer invalidation. So a
race in gathering cache free space statistics still can occur, but not
one that follows an invalid bucket pointer, if the mutex is held.
