dependent function by the same name and a machine-independent function,
sf_buf_mext(). Aside from the virtue of making more of the code machine-
independent, this change also makes the interface more logical. Before,
sf_buf_free() did more than simply undo an sf_buf_alloc(); it also
unwired and if necessary freed the page. That is now the purpose of
sf_buf_mext(). Thus, sf_buf_alloc() and sf_buf_free() can now be used
as a general-purpose emphemeral map cache.
ever since alpha/alpha/pmap.c revision 1.81 introduced the list allpmaps,
there has been no reason for having this function on Alpha. Briefly,
when pmap_growkernel() relied upon the list of all processes to find and
update the various pmaps to reflect a growth in the kernel's valid
address space, pmap_init2() served to avoid a race between pmap
initialization and pmap_growkernel(). Specifically, pmap_pinit2() was
responsible for initializing the kernel portions of the pmap and
pmap_pinit2() was called after the process structure contained a pointer
to the new pmap for use by pmap_growkernel(). Thus, an update to the
kernel's address space might be applied to the new pmap unnecessarily,
but an update would never be lost.
for user copyinout down to 12, and keeping segments 13/14 for
kernel VA.
It would be nice to have more available, but segments lower than
this are reserved for either memory or 1:1 mapped device i/o,
and seg 15 is OpenFirmware ROM. Also, the effort to keep OpenFirmware
available for callbacks limits the use of VA-mapped segments.
Fortunately UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC takes away a lot of VM pressure.

Modifying segment register code no longer causes gcc rebuilds :-)
using the direct-mapping of physmem to force PTE data structures
to be physically addressable so the interrupt-time real-mode
DSI trap handler could perform PTE spills. However, the memory
may have been > 256Mb, which would have caused a BAT spill and
double-interrupt.
The new trap code no longer handles PTE spills, so the requirement
that these pages be direct-mapped no longer applies. The irony is
UMA_MD_SMALL_ALLOC will return direct mappings for these structs :-)
- remove unused 601 and tlb exception code
- remove interrupt-time PTE spill code. The pmap code
will now take care of pinning kernel PTEs, and there
are no longer issues about physical mapping of PTE
data structures
- All segment registers are switched on kernel entry/exit,
allowing the kernel to have more virtual space and for
user virtual space to extend to 4G.
- The temporary register save area has been shifted from
unused exception vector space to the per-cpu data area.
This allows interrupts to be delivered to multiple CPUs
- ISI traps no longer spill to BAT tables. It is assumed
that all of kernel instruction memory is pinned.
- shift from 'ldmw/stmw' instructions to individual register
loads/stores when saving context. All PPC manuals indicate
this should be much faster.
- use '%r' for register names throughout.

The alternative signal stack is private for thread, no lock is needed,

- OpenFirmware returns overlapping memory regions. Use a simple
brute force algorithm to merge these into non-overlapping
regions. This fixes bugs in reporting of available memory

- Move the sf_buf API to its own header file; make struct sf_buf's
definition machine dependent. In this commit, we remove an
unnecessary field from struct sf_buf on the alpha, amd64, and ia64.
Ultimately, we may eliminate struct sf_buf on those architecures
except as an opaque pointer that references a vm page.
Since all callers either passed 0 or 1 for clear_ret, define bit 0 in
the flags for use as clear_ret. Reserve bits 1, 2 and 3 for use by MI
code for possible (but unlikely) future use. The remaining bits are for
use by MD code.
This change is triggered by a need on ia64 to have another knob for

sockets into machine-dependent files. The rationale for this
migration is illustrated by the modified amd64 allocator. It uses the
amd64's direct map to avoid emphemeral mappings in the kernel's
address space. On an SMP, the emphemeral mappings result in an IPI
for TLB shootdown for each transmitted page. Yuck.
Maintainers of other 64-bit platforms with direct maps should be able
to use the amd64 allocator as a reference implementation.
created not only with UMA_ZONE_VM but also with UMA_ZONE_NOFREE. In
the i386 case in particular, the pmap code would hook a special
page allocation routine that allocated from kernel_map and not kmem_map,
and so when/if the pageout daemon drained the zones, it could actually
push out slabs from the PV ENTRY zone but call UMA's default page_free,
which resulted in pages allocated from kernel_map being freed to
kmem_map; bad. kmem_free() ignores the return value of the
vm_map_delete and just returns. I'm not sure what the exact
repercussions could be, but it doesn't look good.
In the PAE case on i386, we also set-up a zone in pmap, so be
conservative for now and make that zone also ZONE_NOFREE and
ZONE_VM. Do this for the pmap zones for the other archs too,
although in some cases it may not be entirely necessarily. We'd
rather be safe than sorry at this point.
Perhaps all UMA_ZONE_VM zones should by default be also
UMA_ZONE_NOFREE?
May fix some of silby's crashes on the PV ENTRY zone.

implements two cases: one for vnode-backed objects and one for
device-backed objects. Only the device-backed case is really
machine-dependent, belonging in the pmap.
This commit moves the vnode-backed case into the (relatively) new
function vm_map_pmap_enter(). On amd64 and i386, this commit only
amounts to code rearrangement. On alpha and ia64, the new machine
independent (MI) implementation of the vnode case is smaller and more
efficient than their pmap-based implementations. (The MI
implementation takes advantage of the fact that objects in -CURRENT
are ordered collections of pages.) On sparc64, pmap_object_init_pt()
hadn't (yet) been implemented.
