in the subtree rooted at p. Change vm_map_findspace so that, first,
the address-based splay is restricted to tree nodes with large-enough
max_free value, to avoid searching for the right starting point in a
subtree where all the gaps are too small. Second, when the address
search leads to a tree search for the first large-enough gap, that gap
is the subject of a splay-search that brings the gap to the top of the
tree, so that an immediate insertion will take constant time.
Break up the splay code into separate components, one for searching
and breaking up the tree and another for reassembling it. Use these
components, and not splay itself, for linking and unlinking. Drop the
after-where parameter to link, as it is computed as a side-effect of

With this change, randomization can be enabled for all non-fixed
mappings. It means that the base address for the mapping is selected
with a guaranteed amount of entropy (bits). If the mapping was
requested to be superpage aligned, the randomization honours the
superpage attributes.
Although the value of ASLR is diminshing over time as exploit authors
work out simple ASLR bypass techniques, it elimintates the trivial
exploitation of certain vulnerabilities, at least in theory. This
implementation is relatively small and happens at the correct
architectural level. Also, it is not expected to introduce
regressions in existing cases when turned off (default for now), or
cause any significant maintaince burden.
The randomization is done on a best-effort basis - that is, the
allocator falls back to a first fit strategy if fragmentation prevents
entropy injection. It is trivial to implement a strong mode where
failure to guarantee the requested amount of entropy results in
mapping request failure, but I do not consider that to be usable.
I have not fine-tuned the amount of entropy injected right now. It is
only a quantitive change that will not change the implementation. The
current amount is controlled by aslr_pages_rnd.
To not spoil coalescing optimizations, to reduce the page table
fragmentation inherent to ASLR, and to keep the transient superpage
promotion for the malloced memory, locality clustering is implemented
for anonymous private mappings, which are automatically grouped until
fragmentation kicks in. The initial location for the anon group range
is, of course, randomized. This is controlled by vm.cluster_anon,
enabled by default.
The default mode keeps the sbrk area unpopulated by other mappings,
but this can be turned off, which gives much more breathing bits on
architectures with small address space, such as i386. This is tied
with the question of following an application's hint about the mmap(2)
base address. Testing shows that ignoring the hint does not affect the
function of common applications, but I would expect more demanding
code could break. By default sbrk is preserved and mmap hints are
satisfied, which can be changed by using the
kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.honor_sbrk sysctl.
ASLR is enabled on per-ABI basis, and currently it is only allowed on
FreeBSD native i386 and amd64 (including compat 32bit) ABIs. Support
for additional architectures will be added after further testing.
Both per-process and per-image controls are implemented:
- procctl(2) adds PROC_ASLR_CTL/PROC_ASLR_STATUS;
- NT_FREEBSD_FCTL_ASLR_DISABLE feature control note bit makes it possible
to force ASLR off for the given binary. (A tool to edit the feature
control note is in development.)
Global controls are:
- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.enable - for non-fixed mappings done by mmap(2);
- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.pie_enable - for PIE image activation mappings;
- kern.elf{32,64}.aslr.honor_sbrk - allow to use sbrk area for mmap(2);
- vm.cluster_anon - enables anon mapping clustering.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
a hint.
Right now, for non-fixed mmap(2) calls, addr is de-facto interpreted
as the absolute minimal address of the range where the mapping is
created. The VA allocator only allocates in the range [addr,
VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS]. This is too restrictive, the mmap(2) call might
unduly fail if there is no free addresses above addr but a lot of
usable space below it.
Lift this implementation limitation by allocating VA in two passes.
First, try to allocate above addr, as before. If that fails, do the
second pass with less restrictive constraints for the start of
allocation by specifying minimal allocation address at the max bss
end, if this limit is less than addr.
One important case where this change makes a difference is the
allocation of the stacks for new threads in libthr. Under some
configuration conditions, libthr tries to hint kernel to reuse the
main thread stack grow area for the new stacks. This cannot work by
design now after grow area is converted to stack, and there is no
unallocated VA above the main stack. Interpreting requested stack
base address as the hint provides compatibility with old libthr and
with (mis-)configured current libthr.

Guard, requested by the MAP_GUARD mmap(2) flag, prevents the reuse of
the allocated address space, but does not allow instantiation of the
pages in the range. It is useful for more explicit support for usual
two-stage reserve then commit allocators, since it prevents accidental
instantiation of the mapping, e.g. by mprotect(2).
Use guards to reimplement stack grow code. Explicitely track stack
grow area with the guard, including the stack guard page. On stack
grow, trivial shift of the guard map entry and stack map entry limits
makes the stack expansion. Move the code to detect stack grow and
call vm_map_growstack(), from vm_fault() into vm_map_lookup().
As result, it is impossible to get random mapping to occur in the
stack grow area, or to overlap the stack guard page.
Enable stack guard page by default.

Consequently, a struct vm_map_entry is now smaller on 32-bit architectures.
Second, a vm_offset_t can be written atomically, whereas it may not be

using a vm_pindex_t makes the next_read field dependent on which object in

address alignment of mappings.

Requests for n >= number of bits in a pointer or less than the size of
a page fail with EINVAL. This matches the API provided by NetBSD.
- 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

After this change only vm_fault_quick_hold_pages() is still using the

There is an additional complexity there as the quick path cannot
immediately access the page object to busy the page and the slow path

There are two aspects to the sequential access optimization: (1) read ahead
of pages that are expected to be accessed in the near future and (2) unmap
and cache behind of pages that are not expected to be accessed again. This
revision changes both aspects.
The read ahead optimization is now more effective. It starts with the same
initial read window as before, but arithmetically grows the window on
sequential page faults. This can yield increased read bandwidth. For
example, on one of my machines, a program using mmap() to read a file that
is several times larger than the machine's physical memory takes about 17%
less time to complete.
The unmap and cache behind optimization is now more selectively applied.
The read ahead window must grow to its maximum size before unmap and cache
behind is performed. This significantly reduces the number of times that
pages are unmapped and cached only to be reactivated a short time later.
The unmap and cache behind optimization now clears each page's referenced
flag. Previously, in the case of dirty pages, if the containing file was
still mapped at the time that the page daemon examined the dirty pages,
they would be reactivated.
From a stylistic standpoint, this revision also cleanly separates the
implementation of the read ahead and unmap/cache behind optimizations.
