Note that the change is no-op for correctness, since shared page does

- Update copyright.
- Make kernel options for RANDOM_YARROW and RANDOM_DUMMY. Set
neither to ON, which means we want Fortuna
- If there is no 'device random' in the kernel, there will be NO
random(4) device in the kernel, and the KERN_ARND sysctl will
return nothing. With RANDOM_DUMMY there will be a random(4) that
always blocks.
- Repair kern.arandom (KERN_ARND sysctl). The old version went
through arc4random(9) and was a bit weird.
- Adjust arc4random stirring a bit - the existing code looks a little
suspect.
- Fix the nasty pre- and post-read overloading by providing explictit
functions to do these tasks.
- Redo read_random(9) so as to duplicate random(4)'s read internals.
This makes it a first-class citizen rather than a hack.
- Move stuff out of locked regions when it does not need to be
there.
- Trim RANDOM_DEBUG printfs. Some are excess to requirement, some

- Use SYSINIT to sequence the startup.
- Fix init/deinit sysctl stuff.
- Make relevant sysctls also tunables.
- Add different harvesting "styles" to allow for different requirements
(direct, queue, fast).
- Add harvesting of FFS atime events. This needs to be checked for
weighing down the FS code.
- Add harvesting of slab allocator events. This needs to be checked for

- Fix the random(9) manpage.
- Loadable modules are not present for now. These will be re-engineered

logic is now placed in the mmap hook implementation rather than requiring
it to be placed in sys/vm/vm_mmap.c. This hook allows new file types to
support mmap() as well as potentially allowing mmap() for existing file
types that do not currently support any mapping.
The vm_mmap() function is now split up into two functions. A new
vm_mmap_object() function handles the "back half" of vm_mmap() and accepts
a referenced VM object to map rather than a (handle, handle_type) tuple.
vm_mmap() is now reduced to converting a (handle, handle_type) tuple to a
a VM object and then calling vm_mmap_object() to handle the actual mapping.
The vm_mmap() function remains for use by other parts of the kernel
(e.g. device drivers and exec) but now only supports mapping vnodes,
character devices, and anonymous memory.
The mmap() system call invokes vm_mmap_object() directly with a NULL object
for anonymous mappings. For mappings using a file descriptor, the
descriptors fo_mmap() hook is invoked instead. The fo_mmap() hook is
responsible for performing type-specific checks and adjustments to
arguments as well as possibly modifying mapping parameters such as flags
or the object offset. The fo_mmap() hook routines then call
vm_mmap_object() to handle the actual mapping.
The fo_mmap() hook is optional. If it is not set, then fo_mmap() will
fail with ENODEV. A fo_mmap() hook is implemented for regular files,
character devices, and shared memory objects (created via shm_open()).
While here, consistently use the VM_PROT_* constants for the vm_prot_t
type for the 'prot' variable passed to vm_mmap() and vm_mmap_object()
as well as the vm_mmap_vnode() and vm_mmap_cdev() helper routines.
Previously some places were using the mmap()-specific PROT_* constants
instead. While this happens to work because PROT_xx == VM_PROT_xx,
using VM_PROT_* is more correct.

fragmented conditions currently just wakes up the pagedaemon. The
kmem arena is significantly smaller then the total available physical
memory, which means that there are loads where kmem arena space could
be exhausted, while there is a lot of pages available still. The
woken up pagedaemon sees vm_pages_needed != 0, verifies the condition
vm_paging_needed() which is false, clears the pass and returns back to
sleep, not calling neither uma_reclaim() nor lowmem handler.
To handle low kmem arena conditions, create additional pagedaemon
thread which calls uma_reclaim() directly. The thread sleeps on the
dedicated channel and kmem_reclaim() wakes the thread in addition to
the pagedaemon.

This is ok since objects come from a NOFREE zone and allows objects to

Ensure that objects on the list are marked DEAD while free or stillborn,

that performs the equivalent of an automatic madvise(..., MADV_DONTNEED).
The current heuristic, even with the improvements that I made a few years
ago, is a good example of making the wrong trade-off, or optimizing for
the infrequent case. The infrequent case being reading a single file that
is much larger than memory using mmap(2). And, in this case, the page
daemon isn't the bottleneck; it's the I/O.
In all other cases, the current heuristic has too many false positives,
i.e., it caches too many pages that are later reused. To give one
example, thousands of pages are cached by the current heuristic during a
buildworld and all of them are reactivated before the buildworld
completes. In particular, clang reads source files using mmap(2) and
there are some relatively large source files in our source tree, e.g.,
sqlite, that are read multiple times. With the new heuristic, I see fewer
false positives and they have a much lower cost.
I actually tried something like this more than two years ago and it
didn't perform as well as the cache behind heuristic. However, that was
before the changes to the page daemon in late summer of 2013 and the
existence of pmap_advise(). In particular, with the page daemon doing
its work more frequently and in smaller batches, it now completes its
work while the application accessing the file is blocked on I/O.
Whereas previously, the page daemon appeared to hog the CPU for so long
that it caused "hiccups" in the application's execution.
Finally, I'll add that the elimination of cache pages is a prerequisite
for NUMA support.
