kernel threads and back to the same user process again, without losing any

clobbered by the child. This is more complicated than usual because the
window that could get clobbered is pushed in kernel mode, so a lot of
registers would have to be saved in other registers in userland and we
don't have enough. What we do have is space in the pcb to temporarily
store user windows that were spilled in kernel mode, but could not be
immediately stored to the user stack. So we copy in the parent's topmost
window and save it in the pcb, and arrange for it to be copied back out
when the child is done frobbing the stack.

In order to determine what to page out, the vm_daemon checks
reference bits on all pages belonging to all processes. Unfortunately,
the algorithm used reacted badly with shared pages; each shared page
would be checked once per process sharing it; this caused an O(N^2)
growth of tlb invalidations. The algorithm has been changed so that
each page will be checked only 16 times.
Prior to this change, a fork/sleepbomb of 1300 processes could cause
the vm_daemon to take over 60 seconds to complete, effectively
freezing the system for that time period. With this change
in place, the vm_daemon completes in less than a second. Any system
with hundreds of processes sharing pages should benefit from this change.
Note that the vm_daemon is only run when the system is under extreme

no symptoms of this problem until they reached the point where swapping
began.
