Introduce VFREE which indicates that vnode is on freelist.
Rename vholdrele() to vdrop().
Create vfree() and vbusy() to add/delete vnode from freelist.
Add vfree()/vbusy() to keep (v_holdcnt != 0 || v_usecount != 0)
vnodes off the freelist.
Generalize vhold()/v_holdcnt to mean "do not recycle".
Fix reassignbuf()s lack of use of vhold().
Use vhold() instead of checking v_cache_src list.
Remove vtouch(), the vnodes are always vget'ed soon enough
after for it to have any measuable effect.
Add sysctl debug.freevnodes to keep track of things.
Move cache_purge() up in getnewvnodes to avoid race.
Decrement v_usecount after VOP_INACTIVE(), put a vhold() on
it during VOP_INACTIVE()
Unmacroize vhold()/vdrop()
Print out VDOOMED and VFREE flags (XXX: should use %b)

vm_inherit_t. These types are smaller than ints, so the prototypes
should have used the promoted type (int) to match the old-style function
definitions. They use just vm_prot_t and/or vm_inherit_t. This depends
on gcc features to work. I fixed the definitions since this is easiest.
The correct fix may be to change the small types to u_int, to optimize
for time instead of space.

has changed significantly. This change should not materially affect

There are various options documented in i386/conf/LINT, there is more to
come over the next few days.
The kernel should run pretty much "as before" without the options to
activate SMP mode.
There are a handful of known "loose ends" that need to be fixed, but
have been put off since the SMP kernel is in a moderately good condition
at the moment.
This commit is the result of the tinkering and testing over the last 14
months by many people. A special thanks to Steve Passe for implementing
the APIC code!
fork. (On my machine, fork is about 240usecs, vfork is 78usecs.)
Implement rfork(!RFPROC !RFMEM), which allows a thread to divorce its memory
from the other threads of a group.
Implement rfork(!RFPROC RFCFDG), which closes all file descriptors, eliminating
possible existing shares with other threads/processes.
Implement rfork(!RFPROC RFFDG), which divorces the file descriptors for a
thread from the rest of the group.
Fix the case where a thread does an exec. It is almost nonsense for a thread
to modify the other threads address space by an exec, so we
now automatically divorce the address space before modifying it.

Have each process use the kernel stack and pcb in the kvm space. Since
the stacks are at a different address, we cannot copy the stack at fork()
and allow the child to return up through the function call tree to return
to user mode - create a new execution context and have the new process
begin executing from cpu_switch() and go to user mode directly.
In theory this should speed up fork a bit.
Context switch the tss_esp0 pointer in the common tss. This is a lot
simpler since than swithching the gdt[GPROC0_SEL].sd.sd_base pointer
to each process's tss since the esp0 pointer is a 32 bit pointer, and the
sd_base setting is split into three different bit sections at non-aligned
boundaries and requires a lot of twiddling to reset.
The 8K of memory at the top of the process space is now empty, and unmapped
(and unmappable, it's higher than VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS).
Simplity the pmap code to manage process contexts, we no longer have to
double map the UPAGES, this simplifies and should measuably speed up fork().
The following parts came from John Dyson:
Set PG_G on the UPAGES that are now in kernel context, and invalidate
them when swapping them out.
Move the upages object (upobj) from the vmspace to the proc structure.
Now that the UPAGES (pcb and kernel stack) are out of user space, make
rfork(..RFMEM..) do what was intended by sharing the vmspace
entirely via reference counting rather than simply inheriting the mappings.
The typo was detected once apon a time with the -Wunused compile option.
The result was that a block of code for implementing
madvise(.. MADV_SEQUENTIAL..) behavior was "dead" and unused, probably
negating the effect of activating the option.

The bug was primarily in procfs_mem, but the mistake likely happened
due to the lack of vm system support for the operation. I added
better support for selective marking of page dirty flags so that
vm_map_pageable(wiring) will not cause this problem again.
The code in procfs_mem is now less bogus (but maybe still a little
so.)
