do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the
unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for
mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount
of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30%
of the system time on i/o intensive workloads.
The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED
flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is
performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which
does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into
buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag.
When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already
exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA
reservation.
Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy().
Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length
instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio
should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio,
otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio
request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA
submap.
The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and
the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the
same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt
tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the
bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers
can accept unmapped i/o requests.
Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed
tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation
requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped
buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where
pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.
In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace
limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the
buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a
reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The
non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is
accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that
the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately.
The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because
buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.
By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into
smaller single-purpose functions.

The function implements optimal algorithm for copying using the
platform-specific optimizations. For instance, on the architectures
were the direct map is available, no transient mappings are created,
for i386 the per-cpu ephemeral page frame is used. The code was
typically borrowed from the pmap_copy_page() for the same
architecture.
Only i386/amd64, powerpc aim and arm/arm-v6 implementations were
tested at the time of commit. High-level code, not committed yet to
the tree, ensures that the use of the function is only allowed after
explicit enablement.
For sparc64, the existing code has known issues and a stab is added
instead, to allow the kernel linking.

future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held
in read mode most of the time the page cache resident pool of pages
are accessed for reading purposes.
The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).

Switch eventtimers(9) from using struct bintime to sbintime_t.
Even before this not a single driver really supported full dynamic range of
struct bintime even in theory, not speaking about practical inexpediency.
This change legitimates the status quo and cleans up the code.
When CPU becomes idle, cpu_idleclock() calculates time to the next timer
event in order to reprogram hw timer. Return that time in sbintime_t to
the caller and pass it to acpi_cpu_idle(), where it can be used as one
more factor (quite precise) to extimate furter sleep time and choose
optimal sleep state. This is a preparatory change for further callout
improvements will be committed in the next days.
The commmit is not targeted for MFC.
VM_OBJECT_LOCKED() macro is only used to implement a custom version
of lock assertions right now (which likely spread out thanks to
copy and paste).
Remove it and implement actual assertions.

Replace the sub-optimal uma_zone_set_obj() primitive with more modern
uma_zone_reserve_kva(). The new primitive reserves before hand
the necessary KVA space to cater the zone allocations and allocates pages
with ALLOC_NOOBJ. More specifically:
- uma_zone_reserve_kva() does not need an object to cater the backend
allocator.
- uma_zone_reserve_kva() can cater M_WAITOK requests, in order to
serve zones which need to do uma_prealloc() too.
- When possible, uma_zone_reserve_kva() uses directly the direct-mapping
by uma_small_alloc() rather than relying on the KVA / offset
combination.
The removal of the object attribute allows 2 further changes:
1) _vm_object_allocate() becomes static within vm_object.c
2) VM_OBJECT_LOCK_INIT() is removed. This function is replaced by
direct calls to mtx_init() as there is no need to export it anymore
and the calls aren't either homogeneous anymore: there are now small
differences between arguments passed to mtx_init().

This is the missing piece for FreeBSD/Wii, but there's still a lot of
work ahead. We have to reset the MMU in locore before continuing
the boot process because we don't know how the boot loaders might
have setup the BATs. We also disable the PCI BAT because there's no PCI
bus on the Wii.

the reserve of the free pages, being translated to VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT

Allow the caller of malloc* to request the 'deep drain' semantic by
providing M_USE_RESERVE flag, now translated to VM_ALLOC_INTERRUPT

There are still some MMU problems and to get a working system you need to
patch locore32.S. Since we haven't found the best way yet to address that
problem, we're not committing those changes yet. The problem is related to
the different BAT layout on the Wii and to the fact that the Homebrew

before passing control to us.
You'll need a Wii with Homebrew loader and a TV that can do NTSC (for now).

attributes (currently just BUS_DMA_NOCACHE):
- Don't call pmap_change_attr() on the returned address, instead use
kmem_alloc_contig() to ask the VM system for memory with the requested
attribute.
- As a result, always use kmem_alloc_contig() for non-default memory
attributes, even for sub-page allocations. This requires adjusting
bus_dmamem_free()'s logic for determining which free routine to use.
- For x86, add a new dummy bus_dmamap that is used for static DMA
buffers allocated via kmem_alloc_contig(). bus_dmamem_free() can then
use the map pointer to determine which free routine to use.
- For powerpc, add a new flag to the allocated map (bus_dmamem_alloc()
always creates a real map on powerpc) to indicate which free routine
should be used.
Note that the BUS_DMA_NOCACHE handling in powerpc is currently #ifdef'd out.
