most of these inlines had been bloated in -current far beyond their
original intent. Normalize prototypes and function declarations to be ANSI
only (half already were). And do some general cleanup.
(kernel size also reduced by 50-100K, but that isn't the prime intent)
(this commit is just the first stage). Also add various GIANT_ macros to
formalize the removal of Giant, making it easy to test in a more piecemeal
fashion. These macros will allow us to test fine-grained locks to a degree
before removing Giant, and also after, and to remove Giant in a piecemeal
fashion via sysctl's on those subsystems which the authors believe can
operate without Giant.
introduce a modified allocation mechanism for mbufs and mbuf clusters; one
which can scale under SMP and which offers the possibility of resource
reclamation to be implemented in the future. Notable advantages:
o Reduce contention for SMP by offering per-CPU pools and locks.
o Better use of data cache due to per-CPU pools.
o Much less code cache pollution due to excessively large allocation macros.
o Framework for `grouping' objects from same page together so as to be able
to possibly free wired-down pages back to the system if they are no longer
needed by the network stacks.
Additional things changed with this addition:
- Moved some mbuf specific declarations and initializations from
sys/conf/param.c into mbuf-specific code where they belong.
- m_getclr() has been renamed to m_get_clrd() because the old name is really
confusing. m_getclr() HAS been preserved though and is defined to the new
name. No tree sweep has been done "to change the interface," as the old
name will continue to be supported and is not depracated. The change was
merely done because m_getclr() sounds too much like "m_get a cluster."
- TEMPORARILY disabled mbtypes statistics displaying in netstat(1) and
systat(1) (see TODO below).
- Fixed systat(1) to display number of "free mbufs" based on new per-CPU
stat structures.
- Fixed netstat(1) to display new per-CPU stats based on sysctl-exported
per-CPU stat structures. All infos are fetched via sysctl.
TODO (in order of priority):
- Re-enable mbtypes statistics in both netstat(1) and systat(1) after
introducing an SMP friendly way to collect the mbtypes stats under the
already introduced per-CPU locks (i.e. hopefully don't use atomic() - it
seems too costly for a mere stat update, especially when other locks are
already present).
- Optionally have systat(1) display not only "total free mbufs" but also
"total free mbufs per CPU pool."
- Fix minor length-fetching issues in netstat(1) related to recently
re-enabled option to read mbuf stats from a core file.
- Move reference counters at least for mbuf clusters into an unused portion
of the cluster itself, to save space and need to allocate a counter.
- Look into introducing resource freeing possibly from a kproc.

The workaround that consists of setting a flag in the vm map that

by myself. It solves a serious vm_map corruption problem that can occur
with the buffer cache when block sizes > 64K are used. This code has been
heavily tested in -stable but only tested somewhat on -current. An MFC
will occur in a few days. My additions include the vm_map_simplify_entry()
and minor buffer cache boundry case fix.
Make the buffer cache use a system map for buffer cache KVM rather then a
normal map.
Ensure that VM objects are not allocated for system maps. There were cases
where a buffer map could wind up with a backing VM object -- normally
harmless, but this could also result in the buffer cache blocking in places
where it assumes no blocking will occur, possibly resulting in corrupted
maps.
Fix a minor boundry case in the buffer cache size limit is reached that
could result in non-optimal code.
Add vm_map_simplify_entry() calls to prevent 'creeping proliferation'
of vm_map_entry's in the buffer cache's vm_map. Previously only a simple
linear optimization was made. (The buffer vm_map typically has only a
handful of vm_map_entry's. This stabilizes it at that level permanently).

invalidation code cannot wait for paging to complete while holding a

madvise().
This feature prevents the update daemon from gratuitously flushing
dirty pages associated with a mapped file-backed region of memory. The
system pager will still page the memory as necessary and the VM system
will still be fully coherent with the filesystem. Modifications made
by other means to the same area of memory, for example by write(), are
unaffected. The feature works on a page-granularity basis.
MAP_NOSYNC allows one to use mmap() to share memory between processes
without incuring any significant filesystem overhead, putting it in
the same performance category as SysV Shared memory and anonymous memory.

holds a read (or shared) lock on the map. The purpose
of vm_map_{clear,set}_recursive() is to disable/enable repeated
write (or exclusive) lock requests by the same process.
vm_map always failed because vm_map_lookup() looked at
"vm_map_entry->wired_count" instead of "(vm_map_entry->eflags &
MAP_ENTRY_USER_WIRED)". The effect was that many page
wiring operations by sysctl were (silently) failing.
Merge the contents (less some trivial bordering the silly comments)

Now that behaviors are stored in the vm_map_entry rather than
the vm_object, it's no longer necessary to instantiate a vm_object

When creating new processes (or performing exec), the new page
directory is initialized too early. The kernel might grow before
p_vmspace is initialized for the new process. Since pmap_growkernel
doesn't yet know about the new page directory, it isn't updated, and
subsequent use causes a failure.
The fix is (1) to clear p_vmspace early, to stop pmap_growkernel
from stomping on memory, and (2) to defer part of the initialization
of new page directories until p_vmspace is initialized.
