size of UMA zone allocation is greater than page size. In this case zone
of zones can not use UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC, and we need to postpone switch
off of this zone from startup_alloc() until full launch of VM.
o Always supply number of VM zones to uma_startup_count(). On machines
with UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC ignore it completely, unless zsize goes over
a page. In the latter case account VM zones for number of allocations
from the zone of zones.
o Rewrite startup_alloc() so that it will immediately switch off from
itself any zone that is already capable of running real alloc.
In worst case scenario we may leak a single page here. See comment
in uma_startup_count().
o Hardcode call to uma_startup2() into vm_mem_init(). Otherwise some
extra SYSINITs, e.g. vm_page_init() may sneak in before.
o While here, remove uma_boot_pages_mtx. With recent changes to boot
pages calculation, we are guaranteed to use all of the boot_pages
in the early single threaded stage.

for UMA startup.
o Introduce another stage of UMA startup, which is entered after
vm_page_startup() finishes. After this stage we don't yet enable buckets,
but we can ask VM for pages. Rename stages to meaningful names while here.
New list of stages: BOOT_COLD, BOOT_STRAPPED, BOOT_PAGEALLOC, BOOT_BUCKETS,
BOOT_RUNNING.
Enabling page alloc earlier allows us to dramatically reduce number of
boot pages required. What is more important number of zones becomes
consistent across different machines, as no MD allocations are done before
the BOOT_PAGEALLOC stage. Now only UMA internal zones actually need to use
startup_alloc(), however that may change, so vm_page_startup() provides
its need for early zones as argument.
o Introduce uma_startup_count() function, to avoid code duplication. The
functions calculates sizes of zones zone and kegs zone, and calculates how
many pages UMA will need to bootstrap.
It counts not only of zone structures, but also of kegs, slabs and hashes.
o Hide uma_startup_foo() declarations from public file.
o Provide several DIAGNOSTIC printfs on boot_pages usage.
o Bugfix: when calculating zone of zones size use (mp_maxid + 1) instead of
mp_ncpus. Use resulting number not only in the size argument to zone_ctor()
but also as args.size.

first-touch policy via the NUMA zone flag.
The slab layer is now segregated by VM domains and is precise. It handles
iteration for round-robin directly. The per-cpu cache layer remains
a mix of domains according to where memory is allocated and freed. Well
behaved clients can achieve perfect locality with no performance penalty.
The direct domain allocation functions have to visit the slab layer and
so require per-zone locks which come at some expense.

The arena argument to kmem_*() is now only used in an assert. A follow-up

This replaces the hard limit on kmem size with a soft limit imposed by UMA. When
the soft limit is exceeded we periodically wakeup the UMA reclaim thread to
attempt to shrink KVA. On 32bit architectures this should behave much more
gracefully as we exhaust KVA. On 64bit the limits are likely never hit.

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 panicking thread always executes with a critical section held, so any
attempt to allocate or free memory while dumping will otherwise cause a
second panic. This can occur, for example, if xpt_polled_action() completes
non-dump I/O that was pending at the time of the panic. The fact that this
can occur is itself a bug, but asserting in this case does little but
reduce the reliability of kernel dumps.

critical section.
uma_zalloc_arg()/uma_zalloc_free() may acquire a sleepable lock on the
zone. The malloc() family of functions may call uma_zalloc_arg() or
uma_zalloc_free().
The malloc(9) man page currently claims that free() will never sleep.
It also implies that the malloc() family of functions will not sleep
when called with M_NOWAIT. However, it is more correct to say that
these functions will not sleep indefinitely. Indeed, they may acquire
a sleepable lock. However, a developer may overlook this restriction
because the WITNESS check that catches attempts to call the malloc()
family of functions within a critical section is inconsistenly
applied.
This change clarifies the language of the malloc(9) man page to clarify
the restriction against calling the malloc() family of functions
while in a critical section or holding a spin lock. It also adds
KASSERTs at appropriate points to make the enforcement of this
restriction more consistent.

kmem arena is significantly smaller then the total available physical

be exhausted, while there is a lot of pages available still. The
woken up pagedaemon sees vm_pages_needed != 0, verifies the condition
vm_paging_needed() which is false, clears the pass and returns back to

To handle low kmem arena conditions, create additional pagedaemon

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

words, every architecture is now auto-sizing the kmem arena. This revision
changes kmeminit() so that the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE becomes
mandatory and the definition of VM_KMEM_SIZE becomes optional.
Replace or eliminate all existing definitions of VM_KMEM_SIZE. With
auto-sizing enabled, VM_KMEM_SIZE effectively became an alternate spelling
for VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN on most architectures. Use VM_KMEM_SIZE_MIN for
clarity.
Change kmeminit() so that the effect of defining VM_KMEM_SIZE is similar to
that of setting the tunable vm.kmem_size. Whereas the macros
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} have had the same effect as the tunables
vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, the effects of VM_KMEM_SIZE and vm.kmem_size
have been distinct. In particular, whereas VM_KMEM_SIZE was overridden by
VM_KMEM_SIZE_{MAX,MIN,SCALE} and vm.kmem_size_{max,min,scale}, vm.kmem_size
was not. Remedy this inconsistency. Now, VM_KMEM_SIZE can be used to set
the size of the kmem arena at compile-time without that value being
overridden by auto-sizing.
Update the nearby comments to reflect the kmem submap being replaced by the
kmem arena. Stop duplicating the auto-sizing formula in every machine-
dependent vmparam.h and place it in kmeminit() where auto-sizing takes
place.

While I'm here ensure that this change doesn't result in an unintended
increase in maxpipekva on i386. Calculate maxpipekva based upon the
size of the kernel address space and the amount of physical memory
instead of the size of the kmem map. The memory backing pipes is not
allocated from the kmem map. It is allocated from its own submap of
the kernel map. In short, it has no real connection to the kmem map.
(In fact, the commit messages for the maxpipekva auto-sizing talk
about using the kernel map size, cf. r117325 and r117391, even though
the implementation actually used the kmem map size.) Although the
calculation is now done differently, the resulting value for
maxpipekva should remain almost the same on i386. However, on amd64,
the value will be reduced by 2/3. This is intentional. The recent
change to VM_KMEM_SIZE_SCALE on amd64 for the benefit of ZFS also had
