to various pmap_*() functions instead of looking up the physical address and passing that. In many cases, the first thing the pmap code was doing was going to a lot of trouble to get back the original vm_page_t, or it's shadow pv_table entry. Inspired by: John Dyson's 1998 patches. Also: Eliminate pv_table as a seperate thing and build it into a machine dependent part of vm_page_t. This eliminates having a seperate set of structions that shadow each other in a 1:1 fashion that we often went to a lot of trouble to translate from one to the other. (see above) This happens to save 4 bytes of physical memory for each page in the system. (8 bytes on the Alpha). Eliminate the use of the phys_avail[] array to determine if a page is managed (ie: it has pv_entries etc). Store this information in a flag. Things like device_pager set it because they create vm_page_t's on the fly that do not have pv_entries. This makes it easier to "unmanage" a page of physical memory (this will be taken advantage of in subsequent commits). Add a function to add a new page to the freelist. This could be used for reclaiming the previously wasted pages left over from preloaded loader(8) files. Reviewed by: dillon
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel and the contents of /etc. Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it wouldn't even run).
