d474eaaa5f Protect all modifications to paging_in_progress with splvm(). The i386
managed to avoid corruption of this variable by luck (the compiler used a
memory read-modify-write instruction which wasn't interruptable) but other
architectures cannot.

With this change, I am now able to 'make buildworld' on the alpha (sfx: the

4866e0856c Make vm_fault much cleaner by removing the evil macro inlines, and
put alot of it's context into a data structure.  This allows
significant shortening of its codepath, and will significantly
decrease it's cache footprint.

Also, add some stats to vmmeter.  Note that you'll have to
rebuild/recompile vmstat, systat, etc... Otherwise, you'll
get "very interesting" paging stats.

eaf13dd73a Change the busy page mgmt, so that when pages are freed, they
MUST be PG_BUSY.  It is bogus to free a page that isn't busy,
because it is in a state of being "unavailable" when being
freed.  The additional advantage is that the page_remove code
has a better cross-check that the page should be busy and
unavailable for other use.  There were some minor problems
with the collapse code, and this plugs those subtile "holes."

Also, the vfs_bio code wasn't checking correctly for PG_BUSY
pages.  I am going to develop a more consistant scheme for
grabbing pages, busy or otherwise.  For now, we are stuck
with the current morass.

2d8acc0f4a VM level code cleanups.
1)	Start using TSM.
	Struct procs continue to point to upages structure, after being freed.
	Struct vmspace continues to point to pte object and kva space for kstack.
	u_map is now superfluous.
2)	vm_map's don't need to be reference counted.  They always exist either
	in the kernel or in a vmspace.  The vmspaces are managed by reference
	counts.
3)	Remove the "wired" vm_map nonsense.
4)	No need to keep a cache of kernel stack kva's.
5)	Get rid of strange looking ++var, and change to var++.
6)	Change more data structures to use our "zone" allocator.  Added
	struct proc, struct vmspace and struct vnode.  This saves a significant
	amount of kva space and physical memory.  Additionally, this enables
	TSM for the zone managed memory.
7)	Keep ioopt disabled for now.
8)	Remove the now bogus "single use" map concept.
9)	Use generation counts or id's for data structures residing in TSM, where
	it allows us to avoid unneeded restart overhead during traversals, where
	blocking might occur.
10)	Account better for memory deficits, so the pageout daemon will be able
	to make enough memory available (experimental.)
11)	Fix some vnode locking problems. (From Tor, I think.)
12)	Add a check in ufs_lookup, to avoid lots of unneeded calls to bcmp.
	(experimental.)
13)	Significantly shrink, cleanup, and make slightly faster the vm_fault.c
	code.  Use generation counts, get rid of unneded collpase operations,
	and clean up the cluster code.
14)	Make vm_zone more suitable for TSM.

This commit is partially as a result of discussions and contributions from
other people, including DG, Tor Egge, PHK, and probably others that I
have forgotten to attribute (so let me know, if I forgot.)

This is not the infamous, final cleanup of the vnode stuff, but a necessary
step.  Vnode mgmt should be correct, but things might still change, and
there is still some missing stuff (like ioopt, and physical backing of
non-merged cache files, debugging of layering concepts.)

Fix the UIO optimization code.
Fix an assumption in vm_map_insert regarding allocation of swap pagers.
Fix an spl problem in the collapse handling in vm_object_deallocate.
When pages are freed from vnode objects, and the criteria for putting
the associated vnode onto the free list is reached, either put the
vnode onto the list, or put it onto an interrupt safe version of the
list, for further transfer onto the actual free list.
Some minor syntax changes changing pre-decs, pre-incs to post versions.
Remove a bogus timeout (that I added for debugging) from vn_lock.

PHK will likely still have problems with the vnode list management, and
so do I, but it is better than it was.

95e5e988e0 Make our v_usecount vnode reference count work identically to the
original BSD code.  The association between the vnode and the vm_object
no longer includes reference counts.  The major difference is that
vm_object's are no longer freed gratuitiously from the vnode, and so
once an object is created for the vnode, it will last as long as the
vnode does.

When a vnode object reference count is incremented, then the underlying
vnode reference count is incremented also.  The two "objects" are now
more intimately related, and so the interactions are now much less
complex.

When vnodes are now normally placed onto the free queue with an object still
attached.  The rundown of the object happens at vnode rundown time, and
happens with exactly the same filesystem semantics of the original VFS
code.  There is absolutely no need for vnode_pager_uncache and other
travesties like that anymore.

A side-effect of these changes is that SMP locking should be much simpler,
the I/O copyin/copyout optimizations work, NFS should be more ponderable,
and further work on layered filesystems should be less frustrating, because
of the totally coherent management of the vnode objects and vnodes.

Please be careful with your system while running this code, but I would
greatly appreciate feedback as soon a reasonably possible.

b9dcd593ff Fixed type mismatches for functions with args of type vm_prot_t and/or
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.

a04c970a7a Fix the gdb executable modify problem. Thanks to the detective work
by Alan Cox <alc@cs.rice.edu>, and his description of the problem.

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

7aaaa4fd5d Implement closer-to POSIX mlock semantics. The major difference is
that we do allow mlock to span unallocated regions (of course, not
mlocking them.)  We also allow mlocking of RO regions (which the old
code couldn't.)  The restriction there is that once a RO region is
wired (mlocked), it cannot be debugged (or EVER written to.)

Under normal usage, the new mlock code will be a significant improvement
over our old stuff.

09e0c6ccdd Implement a new totally dynamic (up to MAXPHYS) buffer kva allocation
scheme.  Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected
kernel page faults.  The maximum amount of kva space for buffers hasn't
been decreased from where it is, but it will now be possible to do so.

This scheme manages the kva space similar to the buffers themselves.  If
there isn't enough kva space because of usage or fragementation, buffers
will be reclaimed until a buffer allocation is successful.  This scheme
should be very resistant to fragmentation problems until/if the LFS code
is fixed and uses the bogus buffer locking scheme -- but a 'fixed' LFS
is not likely to use such a scheme.

Now there should be NO problem allocating buffers up to MAXPHYS.

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.

		has to run immediately.
		Slightly modify the pageout algorithm.

		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.

22ba64e870 Significantly simplify the fault clustering code. After some analysis by
David Greenman, it has been determined that the more sophisticated code
only made a very minor difference in fault performance.  Therefore, this
code eliminates some of the complication of the fault code, decreasing
the amount of CPU used to scan shadow chains.

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).

5f55e84104 Accessing pages beyond the end of a mapped file results in internal
inconsistencies in the VM system that eventually lead to a panic. These
changes fix the behavior to conform to the behavior in SunOS, which is
to deny faults to pages beyond the EOF (returning SIGBUS). Internally,
this is implemented by requiring faults to be within the object size
boundaries. These changes exposed another bug, namely that passing in
an offset to mmap when trying to map an unnamed anonymous region also
results in internal inconsistencies. In this case, the offset is forced
to zero.

f6b04d2bfb Changes from John Dyson and myself:
Fixed remaining known bugs in the buffer IO and VM system.

vfs_bio.c:
Fixed some race conditions and locking bugs. Improved performance
by removing some (now) unnecessary code and fixing some broken
logic.
Fixed process accounting of # of FS outputs.
Properly handle NFS interrupts (B_EINTR).

(various)
Replaced calls to clrbuf() with calls to an optimized routine
called vfs_bio_clrbuf().

(various FS sync)
Sync out modified vnode_pager backed pages.

ffs_vnops.c:
Do two passes: Sync out file data first, then indirect blocks.

vm_fault.c:
Fixed deadly embrace caused by acquiring locks in the wrong order.

vnode_pager.c:
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.

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.

fault was at offset 0 in the object. This resulted in more overhead but
was othewise benign. Added incore() check in vnode_pager_has_page()
to work around a problem with LFS...other than slightly higher overhead,
this change has no affect on UFS.

976e77fc9c 1) Some of the counters in the vmmeter struct don't fit well into the Mach VM
scheme of things, so I've changed them to be more appropriate. page in/ous
   are now associated with the pager that did them. Nuked v_fault as the
   only fault of interest that wouldn't be already counted in v_trap is a VM
   fault, and this is counted seperately.
2) Implemented most of the remaining counters and corrected the counting of
   some that were done wrong. They are all almost correct now...just a few
   minor ones left to fix.
