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.

This code has been reviewed (visually) by Paul Richards and

(author's explaination):
Bit 15 is the flag to request a transmit complete interrupt. The
driver was apparently written to minimize interrupts, and if not for a
3-COM design quirk, everything would be just ducky.
Prior to loading the outbound packet into the FIFO, the driver checks
to see if there's enough space to contain the packet. If not, the
driver requests a transmit-available interrupt when there is
sufficient room. Unfortunately, the card is continuing to process the
prior FIFO, and by the time the driver sets the threshold for a
transmit available interrupt, the space is already available. When
this occurs, the 3COM card ignores the interrupt request, and the
driver is hung waiting for an interrupt that will never occur.
There's probably a more elegant solution, but requesting the transmit
complete interrupt was the easiest to implement. An alternative fix
might be to check free FIFO space again, after requesting the transmit
available interrupt, but I haven't bothered pursuing this. Since the
patch, my 3C590 (PCI, same FIFO interface as 3C509) has been rock
solid.

the high kernel calls into a protocol stack to perform requests on the
user's behalf. We replace the pr_usrreq() entry in struct protosw with a
pointer to a structure containing pointers to functions which implement
the various reuqests; each function is declared with the correct type and
number of arguments. (This is unlike the current scheme in which a quarter
of the requests take arguments of type other than (struct mbuf *) and the
difference is papered over with casts.) There are a few benefits to this
new scheme:
1) Arguments are passed with their correct types, and null-pointer dummies
are no longer necessary.
2) There should be slightly better caching effects from eliminating
the prximity to extraneous code and th switch in pr_usrreq().
3) It becomes much easier to change the types of the arguments to something
other than `struct mbuf *' (e.g.,pushing the work of sosend() into
the protocol as advocated by Van Jacobson).
There is one principal drawback: existing protocol stacks need to
be modified. This is alleviated by compatibility code in
uipc_socket2.c and uipc_domain.c which emulates the new interface
in terms of the old and vice versa.
This idea is not original to me. I read about what Jacobson did
in one of his papers and have tried to implement the first steps
towards something like that here. Much work remains to be done.

The i386 pmap module uses a special area of kernel virtual memory for mapping
of page tables pages when it needs to modify another process's virtual
address space. It's called the 'alternate page table map'. There is only one
of them and it's expected that only one process will be using it at once and
that the operation is atomic.
When the merged VM/buffer cache was implemented over a year ago, it became
necessary to rundown VM pages at I/O completion. The unfortunate and
unforeseen side effect of this is that pmap functions are now called at bio
interrupt time. If there happend to be a process using the alternate page
table map when this I/O completion occurred, it was possible for a different
process's address space to be switched into the alternate page table map -
leaving the current pmap process with the wrong address space mapped when
the interrupt completed. This resulted in BAD things happening like pages
being mapped or removed from the wrong address space, etc.. Since a very
common case of a process modifying another process's address space is during
fork when the kernel stack is inserted, one of the most common manifestations
of this bug was the kernel stack not being mapped properly, resulting in a
silent hang or reboot. This made it VERY difficult to troubleshoot this bug
(I've been trying to figure out the cause of this for >6 months). Fortunately,
the set of conditions that must be true before this problem occurs is
sufficiently rare enough that most people never saw the bug occur. As I/O
rates increase, however, so does the frequency of the crashes. This problem
used to kill wcarchive about every 10 days, but in more recent times when
the traffic exceeded >100GB/day, the machine could barely manage 6 hours of
uptime.
The fix is to make certain that no process has the pages mapped that are
involved in the I/O, before the I/O is started. The pages are made busy, so
no process will be able to map them, either, until the I/O has finished.
This side-steps the issue by still allowing the pmap functions to be called
at interrupt time, but also assuring that the alternate page table map won't
be switched.
Unfortunately, this appears to not be the only cause of this problem. :-(

this setting.
Please give me feedback on the performance results

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".
