Centralize calculation of signal and ucode delivered on unhandled page
fault in new function vm_fault_trap(). MD trap_pfault() now almost
always uses the signal numbers and error codes calculated in
consistent MI way.
This introduces the protection fault compatibility sysctls to all
non-x86 architectures which did not have that bug, but apparently they
were already much more wrong in selecting delivered signals on
protection violations.
Change the delivered signal for accesses to mapped area after the
backing object was truncated. According to POSIX description for
mmap(2):
The system shall always zero-fill any partial page at the end of an
object. Further, the system shall never write out any modified
portions of the last page of an object which are beyond its
end. References within the address range starting at pa and
continuing for len bytes to whole pages following the end of an
object shall result in delivery of a SIGBUS signal.
An implementation may generate SIGBUS signals when a reference
would cause an error in the mapped object, such as out-of-space
condition.
Adjust according to the description, keeping the existing
compatibility code for SIGSEGV/SIGBUS on protection failures.
For situations where kernel cannot handle page fault due to resource
limit enforcement, SIGBUS with a new error code BUS_OBJERR is
delivered. Also, provide a new error code SEGV_PKUERR for SIGSEGV on
amd64 due to protection key access violation.
vm_fault_hold() is renamed to vm_fault(). Fixed some nits in
trap_pfault()s like mis-interpreting Mach errors as errnos. Removed
unneeded truncations of the fault addresses reported by hardware.

vm_page_swapqueue() atomically transitions a page between queues. To do
so, it must hold the page queue lock for the old queue. However, once
the queue index has been updated, the queue lock no longer protects the
page's queue state. Thus, we must speculatively remove the page from
the old queue before committing the queue state update, and roll back if
the update fails.

There are several mechanisms by which a vm_page reference is held,
preventing the page from being freed back to the page allocator. In
particular, holding the page's object lock is sufficient to prevent the
page from being freed; holding the busy lock or a wiring is sufficent as
well. These references are protected by the page lock, which must
therefore be acquired for many per-page operations. This results in
false sharing since the page locks are external to the vm_page
structures themselves and each lock protects multiple structures.
Transition to using an atomically updated per-page reference counter.
The object's reference is counted using a flag bit in the counter. A
second flag bit is used to atomically block new references via
pmap_extract_and_hold() while removing managed mappings of a page.
Thus, the reference count of a page is guaranteed not to increase if the
page is unbusied, unmapped, and the object's write lock is held. As
a consequence of this, the page lock no longer protects a page's
identity; operations which move pages between objects are now
synchronized solely by the objects' locks.
The vm_page_wire() and vm_page_unwire() KPIs are changed. The former
requires that either the object lock or the busy lock is held. The
latter no longer has a return value and may free the page if it releases
the last reference to that page. vm_page_unwire_noq() behaves the same
as before; the caller is responsible for checking its return value and
freeing or enqueuing the page as appropriate. vm_page_wire_mapped() is
introduced for use in pmap_extract_and_hold(). It fails if the page is
concurrently being unmapped, typically triggering a fallback to the
fault handler. vm_page_wire() no longer requires the page lock and
vm_page_unwire() now internally acquires the page lock when releasing
the last wiring of a page (since the page lock still protects a page's
queue state). In particular, synchronization details are no longer
leaked into the caller.
The change excises the page lock from several frequently executed code
paths. In particular, vm_object_terminate() no longer bounces between
page locks as it releases an object's pages, and direct I/O and
sendfile(SF_NOCACHE) completions no longer require the page lock. In
these latter cases we now get linear scalability in the common scenario
where different threads are operating on different files.
__FreeBSD_version is bumped. The DRM ports have been updated to
accomodate the KPI changes.

Queue operations on a page use the page lock when updating the page to
reflect the desired queue state, and the page queue lock when physically
enqueuing or dequeuing a page. Multiple pages share a given page lock,
but queue state is per-page; this false sharing results in heavy lock
contention.
Take a small step towards the use of atomic_cmpset to synchronize
updates to per-page queue state by introducing vm_page_pqstate_cmpset()
and using it in the page daemon. In the longer term the plan is to stop
using the page lock to protect page identity and rely only on the object
and page busy locks. However, since the page daemon avoids acquiring
the object lock except when necessary, some synchronization with a
concurrent free of the page is required. vm_page_pqstate_cmpset() can
be used to ensure that queue state updates are successful only if the
page is not scheduled for a dequeue, which is sufficient for the page
daemon.
Add vm_page_swapqueue(), which moves a page from one queue to another
using vm_page_pqstate_cmpset(). Use it in the active queue scan, which
does not use the object lock. Modify vm_page_dequeue_deferred() to
use vm_page_pqstate_cmpset() as well.

The page daemon periodically invokes uma_reclaim() to reclaim cached
items from each zone when the system is under memory pressure. This
is important since the size of these caches is unbounded by default.
However it also results in bursts of high latency when allocating from
heavily used zones as threads miss in the per-CPU caches and must
access the keg in order to allocate new items.
With r340405 we maintain an estimate of each zone's usage of its
(per-NUMA domain) cache of full buckets. Start making use of this
estimate to avoid reclaiming the entire cache when under memory
pressure. In particular, introduce TRIM, DRAIN and DRAIN_CPU
verbs for uma_reclaim() and uma_zone_reclaim(). When trimming, only
items in excess of the estimate are reclaimed. Draining a zone
reclaims all of the cached full buckets (the previous behaviour of
uma_reclaim()), and may further drain the per-CPU caches in extreme
cases.
Now, when under memory pressure, the page daemon will trim zones
rather than draining them. As a result, heavily used zones do not incur
bursts of bucket cache misses following reclamation, but large, unused
caches will be reclaimed as before.

One of the consequences of that model is that each filesystem must
call vnode_destroy_vobject() in VOP_RECLAIM() or earlier, as result
all of them get rid of the v_object in reclaim.
Move the call to vnode_destroy_vobject() to vgonel() before
VOP_RECLAIM(). This makes v_object stable: either the object is NULL,
