the mappings in the new vm_object un_pager.vnp.writemappings
counter. The vnode v_writecount is incremented when writemappings gets
non-zero value, and decremented when writemappings is returned to
zero.
Writeable shared vnode-backed mappings are accounted for in vm_mmap(),
and vm_map_insert() is instructed to set MAP_ENTRY_VN_WRITECNT flag on
the created map entry. During deferred map entry deallocation,
vm_map_process_deferred() checks for MAP_ENTRY_VN_WRITECOUNT and
decrements writemappings for the vm object.
Now, the writeable mount cannot be demoted to read-only while
writeable shared mappings of the vnodes from the mount point
exist. Also, execve(2) fails for such files with ETXTBUSY, as it
should be.

This is typically useful when there is the need to build another
locking interface on top of the mutex one.
The introduced functions that consumers can use are:
- mtx_lock_flags_
- mtx_unlock_flags_
- mtx_lock_spin_flags_
- mtx_unlock_spin_flags_
- mtx_assert_
- thread_lock_flags_
Spare notes:
- Likely we can get rid of all the 'INVARIANTS' specification in the
ppbus code by using the same macro as done in this patch (but this is
left to the ppbus maintainer)
- all the other locking interfaces may require a similar cleanup, where
the most notable case is sx which will allow a further cleanup of
vm_map locking facilities
- The patch should be fully compatible with older branches, thus a MFC
is previewed (infact it uses all the underlying mechanisms already
present).

option to vm_object_page_remove() asserts that the specified range of pages
is not mapped, or more precisely that none of these pages have any managed
mappings. Thus, vm_object_page_remove() need not call pmap_remove_all() on
the pages.
This change not only saves time by eliminating pointless calls to
pmap_remove_all(), but it also eliminates an inconsistency in the use of
pmap_remove_all() versus related functions, like pmap_remove_write(). It
eliminates harmless but pointless calls to pmap_remove_all() that were being

addresses that is greater than a superpage in size but not a multiple of
the superpage size, then vm_map_find() is not always expanding the kernel
pmap to support the last few small pages being allocated. These failures
are not commonplace, so this was first noticed by someone porting FreeBSD
to a new architecture. Previously, we grew the kernel page table in
vm_map_findspace() when we found the first available virtual address.
This works most of the time because we always grow the kernel pmap or page
table by an amount that is a multiple of the superpage size. Now, instead,
we defer the call to pmap_growkernel() until we are committed to a range
of virtual addresses in vm_map_insert(). In general, there is another
reason to prefer calling pmap_growkernel() in vm_map_insert(). It makes
it possible for someone to do the equivalent of an mmap(MAP_FIXED) on the

represented a write access that is allowed to override write protection.
Until now, VM_PROT_OVERRIDE_WRITE has been used to write breakpoints into
text pages. Text pages are not just write protected but they are also
copy-on-write. VM_PROT_OVERRIDE_WRITE overrides the write protection on the
text page and triggers the replication of the page so that the breakpoint
will be written to a private copy. However, here is where things become
confused. It is the debugger, not the process being debugged that requires
write access to the copied page. Nonetheless, the copied page is being
mapped into the process with write access enabled. In other words, once the
debugger sets a breakpoint within a text page, the program can write to its
private copy of that text page. Whereas prior to setting the breakpoint, a
SIGSEGV would have occurred upon a write access. VM_PROT_COPY addresses
this problem. The combination of VM_PROT_READ and VM_PROT_COPY forces the
replication of a copy-on-write page even though the access is only for read.
Moreover, the replicated page is only mapped into the process with read
access, and not write access.

The accounting information (charge) is associated with either map entry,

in the shadow chain and entry does not require COW. Charge is moved
from entry to object on allocation of the object, e.g. during the mmap,
assuming the object is allocated, or on the first page fault on the
entry. It moves back to the entry on forks due to COW setup.
The per-entry granularity of accounting makes the charge process fair
for processes that change uid during lifetime, and decrements charge
for proper uid when region is unmapped.
The interface of vm_pager_allocate(9) is extended by adding struct ucred *,
