63cd1c131a A change to KPI of vm_pager_get_pages() and underlying VOP_GETPAGES().
o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
  unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
  done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
  new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
  conditions.

  Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
  vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
  could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.

  Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
  allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
  vm_pager_free_nonreq().

o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at
  values for read ahead and read behind, that a pager may do, if it
  can. These pages are completely owned by pager, and not controlled
  by the caller.

  This shifts the UFS-specific readahead logic from vm_fault.c, which
  should be file system agnostic, into vnode_pager.c. It also removes
  one VOP_BMAP() request per hard fault.

b4ef8e602d Merge from projects/sendfile:
o Provide a new VOP_GETPAGES_ASYNC(), which works like VOP_GETPAGES(), but
  doesn't sleep. It returns immediately, and will execute the I/O done handler
  function that must be supplied as argument.
o Provide VOP_GETPAGES_ASYNC() for the FFS, which uses vnode_pager.
o Extend pagertab to support pgo_getpages_async method, and implement this
  method for vnode_pager.

f315a59476 Account the writeable shared mappings backed by file in the vnode
v_writecount.  Keep the amount of the virtual address space used by
the mappings in the new vm_object un_pager.vnp.writemappings
counter. The vnode v_writecount is incremented when writemappings gets
non-zero value, and decremented when writemappings is returned to
zero.

Writeable shared vnode-backed mappings are accounted for in vm_mmap(),
and vm_map_insert() is instructed to set MAP_ENTRY_VN_WRITECNT flag on
the created map entry.  During deferred map entry deallocation,
vm_map_process_deferred() checks for MAP_ENTRY_VN_WRITECOUNT and
decrements writemappings for the vm object.

Now, the writeable mount cannot be demoted to read-only while
writeable shared mappings of the vnodes from the mount point
exist. Also, execve(2) fails for such files with ETXTBUSY, as it
should be.

ad5bd06523 In the VOP_PUTPAGES() implementations, change the default error from
VM_PAGER_AGAIN to VM_PAGER_ERROR for the uwritten pages. Return
VM_PAGER_AGAIN for the partially written page. Always forward at least
one page in the loop of vm_object_page_clean().

VM_PAGER_ERROR causes the page reactivation and does not clear the
page dirty state, so the write is not lost.

The change fixes an infinite loop in vm_object_page_clean() when the
filesystem returns permanent errors for some page writes.

379838428b Do not sleep for vnode lock while holding map lock in vm_fault. Try to
acquire vnode lock for OBJT_VNODE object after map lock is dropped.
Because we have the busy page(s) in the object, sleeping there would
result in deadlock with vnode resize. Try to get lock without sleeping,
and, if the attempt failed, drop the state, lock the vnode, and restart
the fault handler from the start with already locked vnode.

Because the vnode_pager_lock() function is inlined in vm_fault(),
axe it.

ba85bee696 Move the body of vop_stdcreatevobject() over to the vnode_pager under
the name Sande^H^H^H^H^Hvnode_create_vobject().

Make the new function take a size argument which removes the need for
a VOP_STAT() or a very pessimistic guess for disks.

Call that new function from vop_stdcreatevobject().

Make vnode_pager_alloc() private now that its only user came home.

3defb6d13f Fixed two potentially serious classes of bugs:
1) The vnode pager wasn't properly tracking the file size due to
   "size" being page rounded in some cases and not in others.
   This sometimes resulted in corrupted files. First noticed by
   Terry Lambert.
   Fixed by changing the "size" pager_alloc parameter to be a 64bit
   byte value (as opposed to a 32bit page index) and changing the
   pagers and their callers to deal with this properly.
2) Fixed a bogus type cast in round_page() and trunc_page() that
   caused some 64bit offsets and sizes to be scrambled. Removing
   the cast required adding casts at a few dozen callers.
   There may be problems with other bogus casts in close-by
   macros. A quick check seemed to indicate that those were okay,
   however.

15e6194107 In the author's words:
These diffs implement the first stage of a VOP_{GET|PUT}PAGES pushdown
for local media FS's.

See ffs_putpages in /sys/ufs/ufs/ufs_readwrite.c for implementation
details for generic *_{get|put}pages for local media FS's.  Support
is trivial to add for any FS that formerly relied on the default
behaviour of the vnode_pager in in EOPNOTSUPP cases (just copy the
ffs_getpages() code for the FS in question's *_{get|put}pages).

Obviously, it would be better if each local media FS implemented a
more optimal method, instead of calling an exported interface from
the /sys/vm/vnode_pager.c, but this is a necessary first step in
getting the FS's to a point where they can be supplied with better
implementations on a case-by-case basis.

Obviously, the cd9660_putpages() can be rather trivial (since it
is a read-only FS type 8-)).

A slight (temporary) modification is made to print a diagnostic message
in the case where the underlying filesystem attempts to engage in the
previous behaviour.  Failure is likely to be ungraceful.

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).

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.
