when allocating memory for network buffers at interrupt time. This is due
to inadequate checking for the new mcl_map. Fixed by merging mb_map and
mcl_map into a single mb_map.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

and objects. Previously, "fancy" memory management techniques
such as that used by the M3 RTS would have the tendancy of chopping
up processes allocated memory into lots of little objects. Alan
has come up with some improvements to migtigate the sitution to
the point where even the M3 RTS only has one object for bss and
it's managed memory (when running CVSUP.) (There are still cases where the
situation isn't improved when the system pages -- but this is much much
better for the vast majority of cases.) The system will now be able
to much more effectively merge map entries.

also implies VM_PROT_EXEC. We support it that way for now,
since the break system call by default gives VM_PROT_ALL. Now
we have a better chance of coalesing map entries when mixing
mmap/break type operations. This was contributing to excessive
numbers of map entries on the modula-3 runtime system. The
problem is still not "solved", but the situation makes more
sense.
Eventually, when we work on architectures where VM_PROT_READ
is orthogonal to VM_PROT_EXEC, we will have to visit this
issue carefully (esp. regarding security issues.)

associated with useracc. That may/may-not be the "right"

that we do allow mlock to span unallocated regions (of course, not
mlocking them.) We also allow mlocking of RO regions (which the old
code couldn't.) The restriction there is that once a RO region is
wired (mlocked), it cannot be debugged (or EVER written to.)
Under normal usage, the new mlock code will be a significant improvement
over our old stuff.
that map entries are coalesced when appropriate. Also, conditionalize
some code that is currently not used in vm_map_insert. This mod
has been added to eliminate unnecessary map entries in buffer map.
Additionally, there were some cases where map coalescing could be done
when it shouldn't. That problem has been resolved.
scheme. Additionally, add the capability for checking for unexpected
kernel page faults. The maximum amount of kva space for buffers hasn't
been decreased from where it is, but it will now be possible to do so.
This scheme manages the kva space similar to the buffers themselves. If
there isn't enough kva space because of usage or fragementation, buffers
will be reclaimed until a buffer allocation is successful. This scheme
should be very resistant to fragmentation problems until/if the LFS code
is fixed and uses the bogus buffer locking scheme -- but a 'fixed' LFS
is not likely to use such a scheme.
Now there should be NO problem allocating buffers up to MAXPHYS.

Added nested include of <sys/queue.h> in <vm/vm_object.h>. The queue

little or no cache, and has a positive effect on "normal" machines

The default level works with minimal overhead, but one can also enable
full, efficient use of a 512K cache. (Parameters can be generated
to support arbitrary cache sizes also.)
The interface into the "VMIO" system has changed to be more consistant
and robust. Essentially, it is now no longer necessary to call vn_open
to get merged VM/Buffer cache operation, and exceptional conditions
such as merged operation of VBLK devices is simpler and more correct.
This code corrects a potentially large set of problems including the
problems with ktrace output and loaded systems, file create/deletes,
etc.
Most of the changes to NFS are cosmetic and name changes, eliminating
a layer of subroutine calls. The direct calls to vput/vrele have
been re-instituted for better cross platform compatibility.
