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.

Re-enables the RSS limiting, and the routine is now tail-recursive,
making it much more safe (eliminates the possiblity of kernel stack
overflow.) Also, the RSS limiting is a little more intelligent about
finding the likely objects that are pushing the process over the limit.
Added some sysctls that help with VM system tuning.
New sysctl features:
1) Enable/disable lru pageout algorithm.
vm.pageout_algorithm = 0, default algorithm that works
well, especially using X windows and heavy
memory loading. Can have adverse effects,
sometimes slowing down program loading.
vm.pageout_algorithm = 1, close to true LRU. Works much
better than clock, etc. Does not work as well as
the default algorithm in general. Certain memory
"malloc" type benchmarks work a little better with
this setting.
Please give me feedback on the performance results
associated with these.
2) Enable/disable swapping.
vm.swapping_enabled = 1, default.
vm.swapping_enabled = 0, useful for cases where swapping
degrades performance.
The config option "NO_SWAPPING" is still operative, and
takes precedence over the sysctl. If "NO_SWAPPING" is
specified, the sysctl still exists, but "vm.swapping_enabled"
is hard-wired to "0".
Each of these can be changed "on the fly."
1) Make it much less likely to miss a wakeup in vm_page_free_wakeup
2) Create a new entry point into pmap: pmap_ts_referenced, eliminates
the need to scan the pv lists twice in many cases. Perhaps there
is alot more to do here to work on minimizing pv list manipulation
3) Minor improvements to vm_pageout including the use of pmap_ts_ref.
4) Major changes and code improvement to pmap. This code has had
several serious bugs in page table page manipulation. In order
to simplify the problem, and hopefully solve it for once and all,
page table pages are no longer "managed" with the pv list stuff.
Page table pages are only (mapped and held/wired) or
(free and unused) now. Page table pages are never inactive,
active or cached. These changes have probably fixed the
hold count problems, but if they haven't, then the code is
simpler anyway for future bugfixing.
5) The pmap code has been sorely in need of re-organization, and I
have taken a first (of probably many) steps. Please tell me
if you have any ideas.
1) Remove potential race conditions on waking up in vm_page_free_wakeup
by making sure that it is at splvm().
2) Fix another bug in vm_map_simplify_entry.
3) Be more complete about converting from default to swap pager
when an object grows to be large enough that there can be
a problem with data structure allocation under low memory
conditions.
4) Make some madvise code more efficient.
5) Added some comments.

it is required for some vm headers that are included by applications.
Deleted declarations of TRUE and FALSE from <vm/vm_param.h>. They
are defined in <sys/param.h> if KERNEL is defined and we'll soon
find out if any applications depend on them being defined in a vm
header.
most devsw referenced functions are now static, as they are
in the same file as their devsw structure. I've also added DEVFS
support for nearly every device in the system, however
many of the devices have 'incorrect' names under DEVFS
because I couldn't quickly work out the correct naming conventions.
(but devfs won't be coming on line for a month or so anyhow so that doesn't
matter)
If you "OWN" a device which would normally have an entry in /dev
then search for the devfs_add_devsw() entries and munge to make them right..
check out similar devices to see what I might have done in them in you
can't see what's going on..
for a laugh compare conf.c conf.h defore and after... :)
I have not doen DEVFS entries for any DISKSLICE devices yet as that will be
a much more complicated job.. (pass 5 :)
pass 4 will be to make the devsw tables of type (cdevsw * )
rather than (cdevsw)
seems to work here..
complaints to the usual places.. :)
Move a lot of variables home to their own code (In good time before xmas :-)
Introduce the string descrition of format.
Add a couple more functions to poke into these marvels, while I try to
decide what the correct interface should look like.
Next is adding vars on the fly, and sysctl looking at them too.
Removed a tine bit of defunct and #ifdefed notused code in swapgeneric.
Staticized some functions.
__purified some functions. Some functions were bogusly declared as
returning `const'. This hasn't done anything since gcc-2.5. For
later versions of gcc, the equivalent is __attribute__((const)) at
the end of function declarations.
That's EVERY SINGLE driver that has an entry in conf.c..
my next trick will be to define cdevsw[] and bdevsw[]
as empty arrays and remove all those DAMNED defines as well..
Each of these drivers has a SYSINIT linker set entry
that comes in very early.. and asks teh driver to add it's own
entry to the two devsw[] tables.
some slight reworking of the commits from yesterday (added the SYSINIT
stuff and some usually wrong but token DEVFS entries to all these
devices.
BTW does anyone know where the 'ata' entries in conf.c actually reside?
seems we don't actually have a 'ataopen() etc...
If you want to add a new device in conf.c
please make sure I know
so I can keep it up to date too..
as before, this is all dependent on #if defined(JREMOD)
(and #ifdef DEVFS in parts)
This closes a probably rare but nonetheless real window that would result
in a process hanging or the system panicing.

structs and prototypes for syscalls.
Ifdefed duplicated decentralized declarations of args structs. It's
convenient to have this visible but they are hard to maintain. Some
are already different from the central declarations. 4.4lite2 puts
them in comments in the function headers but I wanted to avoid the
large changes for that.
These functions went away:
enosys (hasn't been used for some time)
enxio
enodev
enoioctl (was used only once, actually for a vop)
if_tun.c:
Continued cleaning up...
conf.h:
Probably fixed the type of d_reset_t. It is hard to tell the correct
type because there are no non-dummy device reset functions.
Removed last vestige of ambiguous sleep message strings.
