For regular files and posix shared memory, POSIX requires that
[offset, offset + size) range is legitimate. At the maping time,
check that offset is not negative. Allowing negative offsets might
expose the data that filesystem put into vm_object for internal use,
esp. due to OFF_TO_IDX() signess treatment. Fault handler verifies
that the mapped range is valid, assuming that mmap(2) checked that
arithmetic gives no undefined results.
For device mappings, leave the semantic of negative offsets to the
driver. Correct object page index calculation to not erronously
propagate sign.
In either case, disallow overflow of offset + size.
Update mmap(2) man page to explain the requirement of the range
validity, and behaviour when the range becomes invalid after mapping.

vm_object_madvise() is frequently used to apply advice to a contiguous
set of pages in an object with no backing object. Optimize this case by
skipping non-resident subranges in constant time, and by iterating over
resident pages using the object memq, thus avoiding radix tree lookups on
each page index in the specified range.
While here, move MADV_WILLNEED handling to vm_page_advise(), and rename the
"advise" parameter to vm_object_madvise() to "advice."

Upon each execve, we allocate a KVA range for use in copying data to the
new image. Pages must be faulted into the range, and when the range is
freed, the backing pages are freed and their mappings are destroyed. This
is a lot of needless overhead, and the exec_map management becomes a
bottleneck when many CPUs are executing execve concurrently. Moreover, the
number of available ranges is fixed at 16, which is insufficient on large
systems and potentially excessive on 32-bit systems.
The new allocator reduces overhead by making exec_map allocations
persistent. When a range is freed, pages backing the range are marked clean
and made easy to reclaim. With this change, the exec_map is sized based on
the number of CPUs.

On systems without a configured swap device, an attempt to launder pages
from a swap object will always fail and result in the page being
reactivated. This means that the page daemon will continuously scan pages
that can never be evicted. With this change, anonymous pages are instead
moved to PQ_UNSWAPPABLE after a failed laundering attempt when no swap
devices are configured. PQ_UNSWAPPABLE is not scanned unless a swap device
is configured, so unreferenced unswappable pages are excluded from the page
daemon's workload.

As noted in the removed comment, it is possible and not prohibitively
costly to look up the swap blocks for the given page index. Implement
a swap_pager_find_least() function to do that, and use it to iterate
simultaneously over both backing object page queue and swap
allocations when looking for shadowed pages.
Testing shows that number of new succesful scans, enabled by this
addition, is small but non-zero. When worked out, the change both
further reduces the depth of the shadow object chain, and frees unused
but allocated swap and memory.

with cdev_pg_populate() to provide device drivers access to it. It
gives drivers fine control of the pages ownership and allows drivers
to implement arbitrary prefault policies.
The populate method is called on a page fault and is supposed to
populate the vm object with the page at the fault location and some
amount of pages around it, at pager's discretion. VM provides the
pager with the hints about current range of the object mapping, to
avoid instantiation of immediately unused pages, if pager decides so.
Also, VM passes the fault type and map entry protection to the pager,
allowing it to force the optimal required ownership of the mapped
pages.
Installed pages must contiguously fill the returned region, be fully
valid and exclusively busied. Of course, the pages must be compatible
with the object' type.
After populate() successfully returned, VM fault handler installs as
many instantiated pages into the process page tables as it sees
reasonable, while still obeying the correct semantic for COW and vm
map locking.
The method is opt-in, pager sets OBJ_POPULATE flag to indicate that
the method can be called. If pager' vm objects can be shadowed, pager
must implement the traditional getpages() method in addition to the
populate(). Populate() might fall back to the getpages() on per-call
basis as well, by returning VM_PAGER_BAD error code.
For now for device pagers, the populate() method is only allowed to be
used by the managed device pagers, but the limitation is only made
because there is no unmanaged fault handlers which could use it right
now.

to avoid another trip through LRU before reclamation. This change adds
support for this behaviour to the vnode pager and makes use of it in UFS and
ext2fs. Some ioflag handling is consolidated into a common subroutine so
that this support can be easily extended to other filesystems which make use
