10825343b0 Provide an alternative interface to contigmalloc() which allows a specific
map to be used when allocating the kernel va (e.g., mb_map).  The VM
gurus may want to look this over.

996c772f58 This is the kernel Lite/2 commit. There are some requisite userland
changes, so don't expect to be able to run the kernel as-is (very well)
without the appropriate Lite/2 userland changes.

The system boots and can mount UFS filesystems.

Untested: ext2fs, msdosfs, NFS
Known problems: Incorrect Berkeley ID strings in some files.
		Mount_std mounts will not work until the getfsent
		library routine is changed.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

db2c0faa4c Vastly improved contigmalloc routine. It does not solve the
problem of allocating contiguous buffer memory in general, but
make it much more likely to work at boot-up time.  The best
chance for an LKM-type load of a sound driver is immediately
after the mount of the root filesystem.

This appears to work for a 64K allocation on an 8MB system.

8ba0c490a9 Removed __pure's and __pure2's. __pure is a no-op for recent versions
of gcc by definition, and __pure2 is a no-op in effect (presumably the

c7c34a24a3 Attached vm ddb commands show map', show vmochk', `show object',
`show vmopag', `show page' and `show pageq'.  Moved all vm ddb stuff
to the ends of the vm source files.

Changed printf() to db_printf(), `indent' to db_indent, and iprintf()

4f4d35edf0 This commit is meant to solve a couple of VM system problems or
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.
	7) Several rewrites of routines that contain redundant code to
	   use common routines, so that there is a greater likelihood of
	   keeping the cache footprint smaller.

38efa82b23 This commit does a couple of things:
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."

ef743ce6ed Several bugfixes/improvements:
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.

b18bfc3da7 This set of commits to the VM system does the following, and contain
contributions or ideas from Stephen McKay <syssgm@devetir.qld.gov.au>,
Alan Cox <alc@cs.rice.edu>, David Greenman <davidg@freebsd.org> and me:

	More usage of the TAILQ macros.  Additional minor fix to queue.h.
	Performance enhancements to the pageout daemon.
		Addition of a wait in the case that the pageout daemon
		has to run immediately.
		Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.
	Significant revamp of the pmap/fork code:
		1) PTE's and UPAGES's are NO LONGER in the process's map.
		2) PTE's and UPAGES's reside in their own objects.
		3) TOTAL elimination of recursive page table pagefaults.
		4) The page directory now resides in the PTE object.
		5) Implemented pmap_copy, thereby speeding up fork time.
		6) Changed the pv entries so that the head is a pointer
		   and not an entire entry.
		7) Significant cleanup of pmap_protect, and pmap_remove.
		8) Removed significant amounts of machine dependent
		   fork code from vm_glue.  Pushed much of that code into
		   the machine dependent pmap module.
		9) Support more completely the reuse of already zeroed
		   pages (Page table pages and page directories) as being
		   already zeroed.
	Performance and code cleanups in vm_map:
		1) Improved and simplified allocation of map entries.
		2) Improved vm_map_copy code.
		3) Corrected some minor problems in the simplify code.
	Implemented splvm (combo of splbio and splimp.)  The VM code now
		seldom uses splhigh.
	Improved the speed of and simplified kmem_malloc.
	Minor mod to vm_fault to avoid using pre-zeroed pages in the case
		of objects with backing objects along with the already
		existant condition of having a vnode.  (If there is a backing
		object, there will likely be a COW...  With a COW, it isn't
		necessary to start with a pre-zeroed page.)
	Minor reorg of source to perhaps improve locality of ref.

324e9ed2a4 Added a `boundary' arg to vm_alloc_page_contig(). Previously the only
way to avoid crossing a 64K DMA boundary was to specify an alignment
greater than the size even when the alignment didn't matter, and for
sizes larger than a page, this reduced the chance of finding enough
contiguous pages.  E.g., allocations of 8K not crossing a 64K boundary
previously had to be allocated on 8K boundaries; now they can be
allocated on any 4K boundary except (64 * n + 60)K.

Fixed bugs in vm_alloc_page_contig():
- the last page wasn't allocated for sizes smaller than a page.
- failures of kmem_alloc_pageable() weren't handled.

Mutated vm_page_alloc_contig() to create a more convenient interface
named contigmalloc().  This is the same as the one in 1.1.5 except
it has `low' and `high' args, and the `alignment' and `boundary'
args are multipliers instead of masks.

24a1cce34f NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct
proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!!

Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of
changes:

1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages,
   haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now
   provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take
   struct vm_object's instead of "pagers".

2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant
   confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a
   pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has
   escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is
   used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager
   structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were
   unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union
   was created in the object to contain these items.

3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now
   be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(),
   vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the
   things that were removed.

4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the
   SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism
   that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code
   was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The
   locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward
   making the code difficult to read and debug.

5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel
   thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really
   dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete
   thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong.
   We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance.

6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the
   pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and
   are now faster and easier to maintain.

7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and
   now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after
   the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein
   algorithm and should provide better overall performance.

8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup
   have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed.

9) Some almost useless debugging code removed.

10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out.
    The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this
    backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing
    object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct
    in the Mach terminology.

11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused
    0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended.

12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition
    of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code
    for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides
    the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something
    other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it
    allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made
    dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do
    this, of course).

13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy
    object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non-
    standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its
    behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will
    continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics
    of MAP_PRIVATE.

14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a
    threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13
    were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain-
    ability. (As were most all of these changes)

TODO:

1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing
   this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size.

2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering
   information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will
   substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of
   VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be
   improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of
   contiguousness.

3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage().
   It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind.

4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps
   via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk
   striping of regular filesystems.

5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The
   fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about
   how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow
   for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by
   other pagers).

Changed to use buffer I/O system for writing out modified pages. This
should fix the problem with the modification date previous not getting
updated. Also dramatically simplifies the code. Note that this is
going to change in the future and be implemented via VOP_PUTPAGES().

vm_object.c:
Fixed a pile of bugs related to cleaning (vnode) objects. The performance
of vm_object_page_clean() is terrible when dealing with huge objects,
but this will change when we implement a binary tree to keep the object
pages sorted.

vm_pageout.c:
Fixed broken clustering of pageouts. Fixed race conditions and other
lockup style bugs in the scanning of pages. Improved performance.

f919ebde54 Various changes from John and myself that do the following:
New functions create - vm_object_pip_wakeup and pagedaemon_wakeup that
are used to reduce the actual number of wakeups.
New function vm_page_protect which is used in conjuction with some new
page flags to reduce the number of calls to pmap_page_protect.
Minor changes to reduce unnecessary spl nesting.
Rewrote vm_page_alloc() to improve readability.
Various other mostly cosmetic changes.

6f2b142ed8 vm_page.c:
Use request==VM_ALLOC_NORMAL rather than object!=kmem_object in deciding
if the caller is "important" in vm_page_alloc(). Also established a new
low threshold for non-interrupt allocations via cnt.v_interrupt_free_min.

vm_pageout.c:
Various algorithmic cleanup. Some calculations simplified. Initialize
cnt.v_interrupt_free_min to 2 pages.

a1f6d91cc2 swap_pager.c:
Fixed long standing bug in freeing swap space during object collapses.
Fixed 'out of space' messages from printing out too often.
Modified to use new kmem_malloc() calling convention.
Implemented an additional stat in the swap pager struct to count the
amount of space allocated to that pager. This may be removed at some
point in the future.
Minimized unnecessary wakeups.

vm_fault.c:
Don't try to collect fault stats on 'swapped' processes - there aren't
any upages to store the stats in.
Changed read-ahead policy (again!).

vm_glue.c:
Be sure to gain a reference to the process's map before swapping.
Be sure to lose it when done.

kern_malloc.c:
Added the ability to specify if allocations are at interrupt time or
are 'safe'; this affects what types of pages can be allocated.

vm_map.c:
Fixed a variety of map lock problems; there's still a lurking bug that
will eventually bite.

vm_object.c:
Explicitly initialize the object fields rather than bzeroing the struct.
Eliminated the 'rcollapse' code and folded it's functionality into the
"real" collapse routine.
Moved an object_unlock() so that the backing_object is protected in
the qcollapse routine.
Make sure nobody fools with the backing_object when we're destroying it.
Added some diagnostic code which can be called from the debugger that
looks through all the internal objects and makes certain that they
all belong to someone.

vm_page.c:
Fixed a rather serious logic bug that would result in random system
crashes. Changed pagedaemon wakeup policy (again!).

vm_pageout.c:
Removed unnecessary page rotations on the inactive queue.
Changed the number of pages to explicitly free to just free_reserved
level.

0d94caffca These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache,
much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.

The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.

The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.

vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme.  The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface.  Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.

vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache.  Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.

vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code.  Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.

vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now.  Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code.  This code has been reworked from the ground-up.

vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.

pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.

vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code.  No more gratuitous swapping.

proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.

swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency.  Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.

machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.

machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.

ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache.  Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.
