c8b0a7332c 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).

24d64ff84a Moved call to VOP_GETATTR() out of vnode_pager_alloc() and into the places
that call vnode_pager_alloc() so that a failure return can be dealt with.
This fixes a panic seen on NFS clients when a file being opened is deleted
on the server before the open completes.

2) Removed unnecessary vm_object_lookup()/pager_cache(object, TRUE) pairs

   persistent.

666343f7f0 Changes to support version 3 of the NFS protocol.
The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount).  The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server.  It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.

Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs.  Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.

NFS diskless support is untested.

1c9ad9c342 The duplicate information returned in fa_type and fa_mode
is an ambiguity in the NFS version 2 protocol.

VREG should be taken literally as a regular file.  If a
server intents to return some type information differently
in the upper bits of the mode field (e.g. for sockets, or
FIFOs), NFSv2 mandates fa_type to be VNON.  Anyway, we
leave the examination of the mode bits even in the VREG
case to avoid breakage for bogus servers, but we make sure
that there are actually type bits set in the upper part of
fa_mode (and failing that, trust the va_type field).

NFSv3 cleared the issue, and requires fa_mode to not
contain any type information (while also introduing sockets
and FIFOs for fa_type).

The fix has been tested against a variety of NFS servers.
It fixes problems with the ``Tropic'' NFS server for Windows,
while apparently not breaking anything.

1707d41102 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.
