NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage().

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse().

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface.

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code.

Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages.

Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting.

The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed.

Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache.

The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache.

The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway.
