on i386 PAE. Previously, VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE could not be used on amd64 and
i386 because vm_page_startup() would not create vm_page structures for the
kernel page table pages allocated during pmap_bootstrap() but those vm_page
structures are needed when the kernel attempts to promote the corresponding
kernel virtual addresses to superpage mappings. To address this problem, a
new public function, vm_phys_add_seg(), is introduced and vm_phys_init() is
updated to reflect the creation of vm_phys_seg structures by calls to
vm_phys_add_seg().

This code has had an extensive rewrite and a good series of reviews, both by the author and other parties. This means a lot of code has been simplified. Pluggable structures for high-rate entropy generators are available, and it is most definitely not the case that /dev/random can be driven by only a hardware souce any more. This has been designed out of the device. Hardware sources are stirred into the CSPRNG (Yarrow, Fortuna) like any other entropy source. Pluggable modules may be written by third parties for additional sources.
The harvesting structures and consequently the locking have been simplified. Entropy harvesting is done in a more general way (the documentation for this will follow). There is some GREAT entropy to be had in the UMA allocator, but it is disabled for now as messing with that is likely to annoy many people.
The venerable (but effective) Yarrow algorithm, which is no longer supported by its authors now has an alternative, Fortuna. For now, Yarrow is retained as the default algorithm, but this may be changed using a kernel option. It is intended to make Fortuna the default algorithm for 11.0. Interested parties are encouraged to read ISBN 978-0-470-47424-2 "Cryptography Engineering" By Ferguson, Schneier and Kohno for Fortuna's gory details. Heck, read it anyway.

Prior to this change we triggered ARC reclaim when kmem usage passed 3/4
of the total available, as indicated by vmem_size(kmem_arena, VMEM_ALLOC).
This could lead large amounts of unused RAM e.g. on a 192GB machine with
ARC the only major RAM consumer, 40GB of RAM would remain unused.
The old method has also been seen to result in extreme RAM usage under
certain loads, causing poor performance and stalls.
We now trigger ARC reclaim when the number of free pages drops below the
value defined by the new sysctl vfs.zfs.arc_free_target, which defaults
to the value of vm.v_free_target.

"vm_paging_target() > 0" was a reasonable way of determining if the
inactive queue scan met its target. However, now that other threads
can be allocating pages while the inactive queue scan is running, it's
an unreliable method. The effect of it being unreliable is that we
can start swapping out processes when we didn't intend to.
This issue has existed since the kernel was multithreaded, but the
changes to the inactive queue target in 10.0-RELEASE have made its
effects visible.
This change introduces a more direct method for determining if the
inactive queue scan met its target that is not affected by the actions
of other threads.

called a scalable path. When several preconditions hold, the vm
object lock for the object containing the faulted page is taken in
read mode, instead of write, which allows parallel faults processing
in the region.
Namely, the fast path is taken when the faulted page already exists
and does not need copy on write, is already fully valid, and not busy.
For technical reasons, fast path is avoided when the fault is the
first write on the vnode object, or when the fault is for wiring or
debugger read or write.
On the fast path, pmap_enter(9) is passed the PMAP_ENTER_NOSLEEP flag,
since object lock is kept. Pmap might fail to create the entry, in
which case the fallback to slow path is performed.

responsibility of the vm_page_grab() caller to ensure that the page
does not end on the vm_object queue but not on the pagedaemon queue,
which would effectively create unpageable unwired page.
In exec_map_first_page() and vm_imgact_hold_page(), activate the page

In the uiomove_object_page(), deactivate page before the object is
unlocked. There is no leak, since the page is deactivated after

With the current implementation of managed fictitious ranges when

fictitious range that starts inside of vm_page_array, but then
overrruns it (because the end of the fictitious range is greater than
vm_page_array_size + first_page). This would result in PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE

same could happen if a user tried to register a segment that starts

underlying physical pages are mapped by the pmap. If, for example, the
application has performed an mprotect(..., PROT_NONE) on any part of the
wired region, then those pages will no longer be mapped by the pmap.
So, using the pmap to lookup the wired pages in order to unwire them
doesn't always work, and when it doesn't work wired pages are leaked.
To avoid the leak, introduce and use a new function vm_object_unwire()
that locates the wired pages by traversing the object and its backing
objects.
At the same time, switch from using pmap_change_wiring() to the recently
introduced function pmap_unwire() for unwiring the region's mappings.
pmap_unwire() is faster, because it operates a range of virtual addresses
rather than a single virtual page at a time. Moreover, by operating on
a range, it is superpage friendly. It doesn't waste time performing
unnecessary demotions.
