the exception of calls to vm_map_pmap_enter() from
madvise(MADV_WILLNEED), vm_fault_prefault() and vm_map_pmap_enter()

reactivating cached pages is a mistake. In principle, cached pages
should only be reactivated by an actual access. Otherwise, the
following misbehavior can occur. On a hard fault for a text page the
clustering algorithm fetches not only the required page but also
several of the adjacent pages. Now, suppose that one or more of the
adjacent pages are never accessed. Ultimately, these unused pages
become cached pages through the efforts of the page daemon. However,
the next activation of the executable reactivates and maps these
unused pages. Consequently, they are never replaced. In effect, they
become pinned in memory.

VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE depending on whether the physical address space is
densely or sparsely populated with memory. The effect of this
definition is to determine which of two implementations of
vm_page_array and PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE() is used. The legacy
implementation is obtained by defining VM_PHYSSEG_DENSE, and a new
implementation that trades off time for space is obtained by defining
VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE. For now, all architectures except for ia64 and
sparc64 define VM_PHYSSEG_DENSE. Defining VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE on ia64
allows the entirety of my Itanium 2's memory to be used. Previously,
only the first 1 GB could be used. Defining VM_PHYSSEG_SPARSE on
sparc64 allows USIIIi-based systems to boot without crashing.
This change is a combination of Nathan Whitehorn's patch and my own

The problem is this: vm_fault_additional_pages() calls vm_pager_has_page(),
which calls vnode_pager_haspage(). Now when VOP_BMAP() returns an error (eg.
EOPNOTSUPP), vnode_pager_haspage() returns TRUE without initializing 'before'
and 'after' arguments, so we have some accidental values there. This bascially
was causing this condition to be meet:
if ((rahead + rbehind) >
((cnt.v_free_count + cnt.v_cache_count) - cnt.v_free_reserved)) {
pagedaemon_wakeup();
[...]
}
(we have some random values in rahead and rbehind variables)
I'm not entirely sure this is the right fix, maybe we should just return FALSE
in vnode_pager_haspage() when VOP_BMAP() fails?
alc@ knows about this problem, maybe he will be able to come up with a better
fix if this is not the right one.
causing a crash.
Suppose that we have two objects, obj and backing_obj, where
backing_obj is obj's backing object. Further, suppose that
backing_obj has a reference count of two. One being the reference
held by obj and the other by a map entry. Now, suppose that the map
entry is deallocated and its reference removed by
vm_object_deallocate(). vm_object_deallocate() recognizes that the
only remaining reference is from a shadow object, obj, and calls
vm_object_collapse() on obj. vm_object_collapse() executes
if (backing_object->ref_count == 1) {
/*
* If there is exactly one reference to the backing
* object, we can collapse it into the parent.
*/
vm_object_backing_scan(object, OBSC_COLLAPSE_WAIT);
vm_object_backing_scan(OBSC_COLLAPSE_WAIT) executes
if (op & OBSC_COLLAPSE_WAIT) {
vm_object_set_flag(backing_object, OBJ_DEAD);
}
Finally, suppose that either vm_object_backing_scan() or
vm_object_collapse() sleeps releasing its locks. At this instant,
another thread executes vm_object_split(). It crashes in
vm_object_reference_locked() on the assertion that the object is not
dead. If, however, assertions are not enabled, it crashes much later,
after the object has been recycled, in vm_object_deallocate() because
the shadow count and shadow list are inconsistent.

Change the type of the kernel and kmem objects from OBJT_DEFAULT to

cache alignment being encoded in UMA consumers by defining a global
alignment value of (16 - 1) in UMA_ALIGN_CACHE, UMA_ALIGN_CACHE is now
a special value (-1) that causes UMA to look at registered alignment. If
no preferred alignment has been selected by MD code, a default alignment
of (16 - 1) will be used.
Currently, no hardware platforms specify alignment; architecture
maintainers will need to modify MD startup code to specify an alignment
if desired. This must occur before initialization of UMA so that all UMA
zones pick up the requested alignment.

setrunqueue() was mostly empty. The few asserts and thread state
setting were moved to the individual schedulers. sched_add() was
chosen to displace it for naming consistency reasons.
- Remove adjustrunqueue, it was 4 lines of code that was ifdef'd to be
different on all three schedulers where it was only called in one place
each.
- Remove the long ifdef'd out remrunqueue code.
- Remove the now redundant ts_state. Inspect the thread state directly.
- Don't set TSF_* flags from kern_switch.c, we were only doing this to
support a feature in one scheduler.
- Change sched_choose() to return a thread rather than a td_sched. Also,
rely on the schedulers to return the idlethread. This simplifies the
logic in choosethread(). Aside from the run queue links kern_switch.c
mostly does not care about the contents of td_sched.
