Operations on the vmspace are all isolated to vm_map.c, but it now exports
a new 'vmspace_switch_aio' for use by AIO kernel processes.
- When an AIO kernel process wants to exit, break out of the main loop and
perform cleanup after the loop end. This reduces a lot of indentation and
allows cleanup to more closely mirror setup actions before the loop starts.

mapped address without valid pte installed, when parallel wiring of
the entry happen. The entry must be copy on write. If entry is COW
but was already copied, and parallel wiring set
MAP_ENTRY_IN_TRANSITION, vm_fault() would sleep waiting for the
MAP_ENTRY_IN_TRANSITION flag to clear. After that, the fault handler
is restarted and vm_map_lookup() or vm_map_lookup_locked() trip over
the check. Note that this is race, if the address is accessed after
the wiring is done, the entry does not fault at all.
There is no reason in the current kernel to disallow write access to
the COW wired entry if the entry permissions allow it. Initially this
was done in r24666, since that kernel did not supported proper
copy-on-write for wired text, which was fixed in r199869. The r251901
revision re-introduced the r24666 fix for the current VM.
Note that write access must clear MAP_ENTRY_NEEDS_COPY entry flag by
performing COW. In reverse, when MAP_ENTRY_NEEDS_COPY is set in
vmspace_fork(), the MAP_ENTRY_USER_WIRED flag is cleared. Put the
assert stating the invariant, instead of returning the error.

underlying physical pages are mapped by the pmap. If, for example, the
application has performed an mprotect(..., PROT_NONE) on any part of the
wired region, then those pages will no longer be mapped by the pmap.
So, using the pmap to lookup the wired pages in order to unwire them
doesn't always work, and when it doesn't work wired pages are leaked.
To avoid the leak, introduce and use a new function vm_object_unwire()
that locates the wired pages by traversing the object and its backing
objects.
At the same time, switch from using pmap_change_wiring() to the recently
introduced function pmap_unwire() for unwiring the region's mappings.
pmap_unwire() is faster, because it operates a range of virtual addresses
rather than a single virtual page at a time. Moreover, by operating on
a range, it is superpage friendly. It doesn't waste time performing
unnecessary demotions.

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

On all architectures where we support superpages, the cost of creating a

vmspace. The thread executing an exec syscall gets new vmspace
assigned, and old vmspace is freed if only referenced by the current
process. The free operation includes pmap_release(), which
de-constructs the paging structures used by hardware.
If the calling process is multithreaded, other threads are suspended
in the thread_suspend_check(), and need to be unsuspended and run to
be able to exit on successfull exec. Now, since the old vmspace is
destroyed, paging structures are invalid, threads are resumed on the
non-existent pmaps (page tables), which leads to triple fault on x86.
To fix, postpone the free of old vmspace until the threads are resumed
and exited. To avoid modifications to all image activators all of
which use exec_new_vmspace(), memoize the current (old) vmspace in
kern_execve(), and notify it about the need to call vmspace_free()

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().

Requests for n >= number of bits in a pointer or less than the size of

- MAP_ALIGNED_SUPER is a special case of MAP_ALIGNED. It can be used
to optimize the chances of using large pages. By default it will align
the mapping on a large page boundary (the system is free to choose any
large page size to align to that seems best for the mapping request).
However, if the object being mapped is already using large pages, then
it will align the virtual mapping to match the existing large pages in
the object instead.
- Internally, VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE is now renamed to VMFS_SUPER_SPACE, and
VMFS_ALIGNED_SPACE(n) is repurposed for specifying a specific alignment.
