MADV_DONTNEED) and madvise(..., MADV_FREE). Specifically, introduce a new
pmap function, pmap_advise(), that operates on a range of virtual addresses
within the specified pmap, allowing for a more efficient implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE. Previously, the implementation of
MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE relied on per-page pmap operations, such as
pmap_clear_reference(). Intuitively, the problem with this implementation
is that the pmap-level locks are acquired and released and the page table
traversed repeatedly, once for each resident page in the range
that was specified to madvise(2). A more subtle flaw with the previous
implementation is that pmap_clear_reference() would clear the reference bit
on all mappings to the specified page, not just the mapping in the range
specified to madvise(2).
Since our malloc(3) makes heavy use of madvise(2), this change can have a
measureable impact. For example, the system time for completing a parallel
"buildworld" on a 6-core amd64 machine was reduced by about 1.5% to 2.0%.
Note: This change only contains pmap_advise() implementations for a subset
of our supported architectures. I will commit implementations for the
remaining architectures after further testing. For now, a stub function is
sufficient because of the advisory nature of pmap_advise().

- Change v_free_target to include the quantity previously represented by
v_cache_min so we don't need to add them together everywhere we use them.
- Add a pageout_wakeup_thresh that sets the free page count trigger for
waking the page daemon. Set this 10% above v_free_min so we wakeup before
any phase transitions in vm users.
- Adjust down v_free_target now that we're willing to accept more pagedaemon
wakeups. This means we process fewer pages in one iteration as well,
leading to shorter lock hold times and less overall disruption.
- Eliminate vm_pageout_page_stats(). This was a minor variation on the
PQ_ACTIVE segment of the normal pageout daemon. Instead we now process
1 / vm_pageout_update_period pages every second. This causes us to visit
the whole active list every 60 seconds. Previously we would only maintain
the active LRU when we were short on pages which would mean it could be
woefully out of date.

Unify the 2 concept into a real, minimal, sxlock where the shared
acquisition represent the soft busy and the exclusive acquisition
represent the hard busy.
The old VPO_WANTED mechanism becames the hard-path for this new lock
and it becomes per-page rather than per-object.
The vm_object lock becames an interlock for this functionality:
it can be held in both read or write mode.
However, if the vm_object lock is held in read mode while acquiring
or releasing the busy state, the thread owner cannot make any
assumption on the busy state unless it is also busying it.
Also:
- Add a new flag to directly shared busy pages while vm_page_alloc
and vm_page_grab are being executed. This will be very helpful
once these functions happen under a read object lock.
- Move the swapping sleep into its own per-object flag
The KPI is heavilly changed this is why the version is bumped.
It is very likely that some VM ports users will need to change
their own code.

into threads each processing queue in a single domain. The structure
of the pagedaemons and queues is kept intact, most of the changes come
from the need for code to find an owning page queue for given page,
calculated from the segment containing the page.
The tie between NUMA domain and pagedaemon thread/pagequeue split is
rather arbitrary, the multithreaded daemon could be allowed for the
single-domain machines, or one domain might be split into several page
domains, to further increase concurrency.
Right now, each pagedaemon thread tries to reach the global target,
precalculated at the start of the pass. This is not optimal, since it
could cause excessive page deactivation and freeing. The code should
be changed to re-check the global page deficit state in the loop after
some number of iterations.
The pagedaemons reach the quorum before starting the OOM, since one
thread inability to meet the target is normal for split queues. Only
when all pagedaemons fail to produce enough reusable pages, OOM is
started by single selected thread.
Launder is modified to take into account the segments layout with

manipulating the page's act_count field when we are clearing its

comments and an assertion. Nonetheless, it will enable later changes to
object locking in the pageout code.
Introduce vm_page_assert_locked(), which completely hides the implementation
details of the page lock from the caller, and use it in
vm_page_aflag_clear(). (The existing vm_page_lock_assert() could not be

future further optimizations where the vm_object lock will be held

The change is mostly mechanical but few notes are reported:
* The KPI changes as follow:
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_TRYLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_TRYWLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_UNLOCK() -> VM_OBJECT_WUNLOCK()
- VM_OBJECT_LOCK_ASSERT(MA_OWNED) -> VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_WLOCKED()
(in order to avoid visibility of implementation details)
- The read-mode operations are added:
VM_OBJECT_RLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_TRYRLOCK(), VM_OBJECT_RUNLOCK(),
VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_RLOCKED(), VM_OBJECT_ASSERT_LOCKED()
* The vm/vm_pager.h namespace pollution avoidance (forcing requiring
sys/mutex.h in consumers directly to cater its inlining functions
using VM_OBJECT_LOCK()) imposes that all the vm/vm_pager.h
consumers now must include also sys/rwlock.h.
* zfs requires a quite convoluted fix to include FreeBSD rwlocks into
the compat layer because the name clash between FreeBSD and solaris
versions must be avoided.
At this purpose zfs redefines the vm_object locking functions
directly, isolating the FreeBSD components in specific compat stubs.
The KPI results heavilly broken by this commit. Thirdy part ports must
be updated accordingly (I can think off-hand of VirtualBox, for example).
