contigmalloc2() was always testing the first physical page for PG_ZERO,
not the current page of interest.

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.

1) Eliminate an unnecessary check for fictitious pages. Specifically,
only device-backed objects contain fictitious pages and the object is
not device-backed.
2) Change the types of "psize" and "tmpidx" to vm_pindex_t in order to
prevent possible wrap around with extremely large maps and objects,
respectively. Observed by: tegge (last summer)
immediately flag any page that is allocated to a OBJT_PHYS object as
unmanaged in vm_page_alloc() rather than waiting for a later call to
vm_page_unmanage(). This allows for the elimination of some uses of
the page queues lock.
Change the type of the kernel and kmem objects from OBJT_DEFAULT to
OBJT_PHYS. This allows us to take advantage of the above change to
simplify the allocation of unmanaged pages in kmem_alloc() and
kmem_malloc().
Remove vm_page_unmanage(). It is no longer used.

vm_page_free_toq() to be called on some pages without the page queues lock

not a member of a page queue. (Examples of such pages include page table
pages, pv entry pages, and uma small alloc pages.)

time, avoid unnecessary tests to wake up threads waiting for free memory
and the idle thread that zeroes free pages. (These tests will be performed
later when the page finally moves from the hold queue to the free queue.)
boot by MD code to indicated detected alignment preference. Rather than
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.

maxpages on a zone is woken up, with the rest never being woken up as
a result of the ZFLAG_FULL flag being cleared. Wakeup all such blocked
procsses instead. This change introduces a thundering herd, but since
this should be relatively infrequent, optimizing this (by introducing
a count of blocked processes, for example) may be premature.

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.

Replace with a simple WITNESS warning call. This restores the

Also:
Since this makes such a big change to the scheduler(s), take the opportunity
to rename some structures and elements that had to be moved anyhow.
This makes the code a lot more readable.
The ULE scheduler compiles again but I have no idea if it works.
The 4bsd scheduler still reqires a little cleaning and some functions that now do
ALMOST nothing will go away, but I thought I'd do that as a separate commit.
