808a36ef65 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

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

db43a78580 Make the default cache size optim to be 256K, the old default was
64K.  The change has essentially neutral effect on those machines with
little or no cache, and has a positive effect on "normal" machines
with 256K or more cache.

62b009f8b1 Addition of page coloring support. Various levels of coloring are afforded.
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.)

01ce9d323a Backed out the recent changes/enhancements to the VM code. The
problem with the 'shell scripts' was found, but there was a 'strange'
problem found with a 486 laptop that we could not find.  This commit
backs the code back to 25-jul, and will be re-entered after the snapshot
in smaller (more easily tested) chunks.

293abd3564 This commit is meant to solve a couple of VM system problems or
performance issues.

	1) The pmap module has had too many inlines, and so the
	   object file is simply bigger than it needs to be.
	   Some common code is also merged into subroutines.
	2) Removal of some *evil* PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE macro calls.
	   Unfortunately, a few have needed to be added also.
	   The removal caused the need for more vm_page_lookups.
	   I added lookup hints to minimize the need for the
	   page table lookup operations.
	3) Removal of some bogus performance improvements, that
	   mostly made the code more complex (tracking individual
	   page table page updates unnecessarily).  Those improvements
	   actually hurt 386 processors perf (not that people who
	   worry about perf use 386 processors anymore :-)).
	4) Changed pv queue manipulations/structures to be TAILQ's.
	5) The pv queue code has had some performance problems since
	   day one.  Some significant scalability issues are resolved
	   by threading the pv entries from the pmap AND the physical
	   address instead of just the physical address.  This makes
	   certain pmap operations run much faster.  This does
	   not affect most micro-benchmarks, but should help loaded system
	   performance *significantly*.  DG helped and came up with most
	   of the solution for this one.
	6) Most if not all pmap bit operations follow the pattern:
		pmap_test_bit();
		pmap_clear_bit();
	   That made for twice the necessary pv list traversal.   The
	   pmap interface now supports only pmap_tc_bit type operations:
	   pmap_[test/clear]_modified, pmap_[test/clear]_referenced.
	   Additionally, the modified routine now takes a vm_page_t arg
	   instead of a phys address.  This eliminates a PHYS_TO_VM_PAGE
	   operation.
	7) Several rewrites of routines that contain redundant code to
	   use common routines, so that there is a greater likelihood of
	   keeping the cache footprint smaller.

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."

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.

8e23a5a163 pmap.h:
Disable the bogus declaration of pmap_bootstrap().  Since its arg list
is machine-dependent, it must be declared in a machine-dependent header.

vm_page.h:
Change `inline' to `__inline' and old-style function parameter lists for
inlined functions to new-style.

`inline' and old-style function parameter lists should never be used in
system headers, even in very machine-dependent ones, because they cause
warnings from gcc -Wreally-all.
