1dc1263413 On Alan's advice, rather than do a wholesale conversion on a single
architecture from page queue lock to a hashed array of page locks
(based on a patch by Jeff Roberson), I've implemented page lock
support in the MI code and have only moved vm_page's hold_count
out from under page queue mutex to page lock. This changes
pmap_extract_and_hold on all pmaps.

e836fd23ea #include <vm/vm_param.h> instead of <machine/vmparam.h> (the former
includes the latter, but also declares variables which are defined
in kern/subr_param.c).

Change som VM parameters from quad_t to unsigned long.  They refer to
quantities (size limits for text, heap and stack segments) which must
necessarily be smaller than the size of the address space, so long is
adequate on all platforms.

40dd98a3bd Second half of the dev_t cleanup.
The big lines are:
	NODEV -> NULL
	NOUDEV -> NODEV
	udev_t -> dev_t
	udev2dev() -> findcdev()

Various minor adjustments including handling of userland access to kernel
space struct cdev etc.

e3fd0e351e Rev 1.16 renamed VM_METER to VM_TOTAL. This is breaking 3rd-party apps.
So add a VM_METER compat define.

87a858d545 Change the way information about swap devices is exported to be more
canonical: define a versioned struct xswdev, and add a sysctl node
handler that allows the user to get this structure for a certain device
index by specifying this index as last element of the MIB.
This new node handler, vm.swap_info, replaces the old vm.nswapdev
and vm.swapdevX.* (where X was the index) sysctls.

d53e4c1d80 Change #ifdef KERNEL to #ifdef _KERNEL in the public headers. "KERNEL"
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot).  This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago.  More commits to come.

9f0819bc54 This commit does a couple of things:
Re-enables the RSS limiting, and the routine is now tail-recursive,
	making it much more safe (eliminates the possiblity of kernel stack
	overflow.) Also, the RSS limiting is a little more intelligent about
	finding the likely objects that are pushing the process over the limit.

	Added some sysctls that help with VM system tuning.

New sysctl features:
	1)	Enable/disable lru pageout algorithm.
		vm.pageout_algorithm = 0, default algorithm that works
			well, especially using X windows and heavy
			memory loading.  Can have adverse effects,
			sometimes slowing down program loading.

		vm.pageout_algorithm = 1, close to true LRU.  Works much
			better than clock, etc.  Does not work as well as
			the default algorithm in general.  Certain memory
			"malloc" type benchmarks work a little better with
			this setting.

		Please give me feedback on the performance results
		associated with these.

	2)	Enable/disable swapping.
		vm.swapping_enabled = 1, default.

		vm.swapping_enabled = 0, useful for cases where swapping
			degrades performance.

		The config option "NO_SWAPPING" is still operative, and
		takes precedence over the sysctl.  If "NO_SWAPPING" is
		specified, the sysctl still exists, but "vm.swapping_enabled"
		is hard-wired to "0".

Each of these can be changed "on the fly."

c951d0b363 Moved the declaration of boolean_t from <vm/vm_param.h> to
<sys/types.h> (if KERNEL is defined).  This allows removing bogus
dependencies on vm stuff in several places (e.g., ddb) and stops
<vm_param.h> from depending on <vm_param.h>

Added declaration of boolean_t to <vm/vm.h> (if KERNEL is not
defined).  It never belonged in <vm/vm_param.h>.  Unfortunately,
it is required for some vm headers that are included by applications.

Deleted declarations of TRUE and FALSE from <vm/vm_param.h>.  They
are defined in <sys/param.h> if KERNEL is defined and we'll soon
find out if any applications depend on them being defined in a vm
header.

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.
