843ae548c7 Make pointer argument to kread_string() const since the kernel structure
field is const, and then employ __DECONST before getting into the kvm
code.  This eliminates a gcc 4.2 warning about losing constification.

f2e35917b9 The uma_zone data structure defines the size of its uz_cpu[] array as 1,
but then sizes the containing data structure at run-time to make room
for per-cpu cache data.  Modify libmemstat to separately allocate a
buffer to hold per-cpu cache data, sized based on the run-time mp_maxid
variable when using libkvm to access UMA data.  This avoids reading
invalid cache data from beyond the end of the uma_zone data structure
on the stack, which can result in invalid statistics and/or reads from
invalid kernel addresses.

c1cbeeaeb1 When reporting an error reading from UMA per-cpu cache pointers using KVM,
return a KVM error rather than an out of memory error, so that the caller
reports the KVM error state.  This replaces a misleading error message
with a more accurate although equally confusing one.

d65e7588d3 Teach libmemstat(3) how to extract malloc(9) statistics using kvm(3),
so that libmemstat can be used to view full memory statistics from
kernel core dumps and /dev/mem.  This is provided via a new query
function, memstat_kvm_malloc(), which is also automatically invoked
by memstat_kvm_all().  A kvm handle must be passed in.

This will allow malloc(9)-specific code to be removed from vmstat(8).

12d7b33401 Define LIBMEMSTAT so that vm_page.h won't perform a nested include of
opt_vmpage.h.

Remove definition of _KERNEL, it is no longer required in order to
include uma_int.h, as the sensitive parts of uma_int.h (a number of
inlines depending on kernel-only constants) are now protected by
_KERNEL.

f5e7c145fc Add memstat_kvm_uma(), an implementation of a libmemstat(3) query routine
that knows how to extract UMA(9) allocator statistics from a core dump or
live memory image using kvm(3).  The caller is expected to provide the
necessary kvm_t handle, which is then used by libmemstat(3).

With these changes, it is trivially straight forward to re-introduce
vmstat -z support on core dumps, which was lost when UMA was introduced.

In the short term, this requires including vm/ include files that are not
intended for extra-kernel use, requiring in turn some ugliness.

5032db6d57 Correct two libmemstat(3) bugs:
- Move memory_type_list flushing logic from memstat_mtl_free() to
  _memstat_mtl_empty(), a libmemstat-internal function that can
  be called from other parts of the library.  Invoke
  _memstat_mtl_empty() from memstat_mtl_free(), which also frees
  the containing list structure.

  Invoke _memstat_mtl_empty() instead of memstat_mtl_free() in
  various error cases in memstat_malloc.c and memstat_uma.c, which
  previously resulted in the list being freed prematurely.

- Reverse the order of updating the mt_kegfree and mt_free fields
  of the memory_type in memstat_uma.c, otherwise keg free items
  won't be counted properly for non-secondary zones.

560d460544 Having decided not to provide a libmemstat(3) error number to text
conversion routine, now change my mind and add one, memstat_strerror(3),
which returns a const char * pointer to a string describing the error,
to be used on the results of memstat_mtl_geterror().

While here, also correct a minor typo in the HISTORY man page.

Pointers on improving ease of internationalization would be
appreciated.

ed2ee35685 Introduce more formal error handling for libmemstat(3):
- Define a set of libmemstat(3) error constants, which are used by all
  libmemstat(3) methods except for memstat_mtl_alloc(), which allocates
  a memory type list and may return ENOMEM via errno.

- Define a per-memory_type_list current error value, which is set when a
  call associated with a memory list fails.  This requires wrapping a
  structure around the queue(9) list head data structure, but this change
  is not visible to libmemstat(3) consumers due to using access methods.

- Add a new accessor method, memstat_mtl_geterror() to retrieve the error
  number.

- Consistently set the error number in a number of failure modes where
  previously some combination of setting errno and printf'ing error
  descriptions was used.  libmemstat(3) will now no longer print to stdio
  under any circumstances.  Returns of NULL/-1 for errors remain the
  same.

This avoids use of stdio, misuse of error numbers, and should make it
easier to program a libmemstat(3) consumer able to print useful error
messages.  Currently, no error-to-string function is provided, as I'm
unsure how to address internationalization concerns.

7a523e19db UMA supports "secondary" zones, in which a second zone can be layered
on top of a primary zone, sharing the same allocation "keg".  When
reporting statistics for zones, do not report the free items in the
keg as part of the free items in the zone, or those free items will
be reported more than once: for the primary zone, and then any
secondary zones off the primary zone.  Separately record and maintain
a kegfree statistic, and export via memstat_get_kegfree(), which is
available for use if needed.  Since items free'd back to the keg are
not fully initialized, and hence may not actually be available (since
secondary zone ctor-time initialization can fail), this makes some
amount of sense.

This change corrects a bug made visible in the libmemstat(3)
modifications to netstat: mbufs freed back to the keg from the
packet zone would be counted twice, resulting in negative values
being printed in the mbuf free count.

Some further refinement of reporting relating to secondary zones may
still be required.

3aa76a5f85 Increase the number of caller memory storage slots from 2 or 4 to
MEMSTAT_MAXCALLER (8), and expose MEMSTAT_MAXCALLER via memstat.h so
that applications can check their assumptions about how many slots
are available.

Remove 'spare' memory storage in struct malloc_type, since we now
don't expose the data structure internals to applications and rely
on accessor methods, this approach to ABI stability isn't required.

2dbb0a62ae Add libmemstat(3), a library for use by debugging and monitoring
applications in tracking kernel memory statistics.  It provides an
abstracted interface to uma(9) and malloc(9) statistics, wrapped
around the recently added binary stream sysctls for the allocators.

Using this interface, it is easy to build monitoring tools, query
specific memory types for usage information, etc.  Facilities are
provided for binding caller-provided data to memory types,
incremental updates of memory types, and queries that span multiple
allocators.

Support for additional allocators is (relatively) easy to add.

The API for libmemstat(3) will probably change some over time as
consumers are written, and requirements evolve.  It is written to
avoid encoding ABIs for data structure layout into consuming
applications for this reason.
