do not map the b_pages pages into buffer_map KVA. The use of the
unmapped buffers eliminate the need to perform TLB shootdown for
mapping on the buffer creation and reuse, greatly reducing the amount
of IPIs for shootdown on big-SMP machines and eliminating up to 25-30%
of the system time on i/o intensive workloads.
The unmapped buffer should be explicitely requested by the GB_UNMAPPED
flag by the consumer. For unmapped buffer, no KVA reservation is
performed at all. The consumer might request unmapped buffer which
does have a KVA reserve, to manually map it without recursing into
buffer cache and blocking, with the GB_KVAALLOC flag.
When the mapped buffer is requested and unmapped buffer already
exists, the cache performs an upgrade, possibly reusing the KVA
reservation.
Unmapped buffer is translated into unmapped bio in g_vfs_strategy().
Unmapped bio carry a pointer to the vm_page_t array, offset and length
instead of the data pointer. The provider which processes the bio
should explicitely specify a readiness to accept unmapped bio,
otherwise g_down geom thread performs the transient upgrade of the bio
request by mapping the pages into the new bio_transient_map KVA
submap.
The bio_transient_map submap claims up to 10% of the buffer map, and
the total buffer_map + bio_transient_map KVA usage stays the
same. Still, it could be manually tuned by kern.bio_transient_maxcnt
tunable, in the units of the transient mappings. Eventually, the
bio_transient_map could be removed after all geom classes and drivers
can accept unmapped i/o requests.
Unmapped support can be turned off by the vfs.unmapped_buf_allowed
tunable, disabling which makes the buffer (or cluster) creation
requests to ignore GB_UNMAPPED and GB_KVAALLOC flags. Unmapped
buffers are only enabled by default on the architectures where
pmap_copy_page() was implemented and tested.
In the rework, filesystem metadata is not the subject to maxbufspace
limit anymore. Since the metadata buffers are always mapped, the
buffers still have to fit into the buffer map, which provides a
reasonable (but practically unreachable) upper bound on it. The
non-metadata buffer allocations, both mapped and unmapped, is
accounted against maxbufspace, as before. Effectively, this means that
the maxbufspace is forced on mapped and unmapped buffers separately.
The pre-patch bufspace limiting code did not worked, because
buffer_map fragmentation does not allow the limit to be reached.
By Jeff Roberson request, the getnewbuf() function was split into
smaller single-purpose functions.

The function implements optimal algorithm for copying using the

were the direct map is available, no transient mappings are created,
for i386 the per-cpu ephemeral page frame is used. The code was
typically borrowed from the pmap_copy_page() for the same

Only i386/amd64, powerpc aim and arm/arm-v6 implementations were

Switch eventtimers(9) from using struct bintime to sbintime_t.
Even before this not a single driver really supported full dynamic range of
struct bintime even in theory, not speaking about practical inexpediency.
This change legitimates the status quo and cleans up the code.
When CPU becomes idle, cpu_idleclock() calculates time to the next timer
event in order to reprogram hw timer. Return that time in sbintime_t to
the caller and pass it to acpi_cpu_idle(), where it can be used as one
more factor (quite precise) to extimate furter sleep time and choose
optimal sleep state. This is a preparatory change for further callout

points to the TLS in user space and points to the PCPU structure in
the kernel. The race is the result of having the exception handler on
the one hand and the RPC system call entry on the other. The EPC
syscall path is non-atomic in that interrupts are enabled while the
two stacks are switched. The register stack is switched last as that
is the stack used to determine whether we're going back to user space
by the exception handler. If we go back to user space, we restore r13,
otherwise we leave r13 alone. The EPC syscall path however set r13 to
the PCPU structure *before* switching the register stack, which means
that there was a window in which the exception handler would restore
r13 when it was already pointing to the PCPU structure. This is fatal
when the exception happened on CPU x, but left from the exception on
anotehr CPU. In that case r13 would point to the PCPU of the CPU the
thread was running on. This immediately results in getting the wrong
value for curthread.
The fix is to make sure we assign r13 *after* we set ar.bspstore to
point to the kernel register stack for the thread.

correctly. We now iterate the EFI memory descriptors once and collect all
the information in a single pass. This includes:
1. The I/O port base address,
2. The PAL memory region. Have the physmem API track this.
3. Memory descriptors of memory we can't use, like bad memory, runtime
services code & data, etc. Have the physmem API track these.
4. memory descriptors of memory we can use or re-use, such as free
memory, boot time services code & data, loader code & data, etc.
These are added by the physmem API.
Since the PBVM page table and pages are in memory described as loader
data, inform the physmem API of chunks that need to be delated from the
available physical memory.
While here, remove Maxmem and replace it with the better named paddr_max.
Maxmem was defined as physmem, which is generally wrong. Now, paddr_max
is properly defined as the largesty physical address.
The upshot of all this is that:
1. We properly determine realmem.
2. We maximize physmem by re-using memory where possible.
3. We remove complexity from ia64_init() in machdep.c.
4. Remove confusion about realmem, physmem & Maxmem.
The new ia64_physmem_alloc() is to replace pmap_steal_memory() in pmap.c,
as well as replace the handcrafted allocation of the VHPT for the BSP in
pmap_bootstrap() in pmap.c. This is step 2 and addresses the manipulation
of phys_avail after it is being created.
This is required for ARM EABI. Section 7.1.1 of the Procedure Call for the
ARM Architecture (AAPCS) defines wchar_t as either an unsigned int or an
unsigned short with the former preferred.
Because of this requirement we need to move the definition of __wchar_t to
a machine dependent header. It also cleans up the macros defining the limits
of wchar_t by defining __WCHAR_MIN and __WCHAR_MAX in the same machine
dependent header then using them to define WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX
respectively.

prefix, to indicate the intended location of the code in some future.
The versioned per-algorithm data is exported in the format of struct
vdso_timehands, which mostly repeats the content of in-kernel struct
timehands. Usermode reading of the structure can be lockless.
Compatibility export for 32bit processes on 64bit host is also
provided. Kernel also provides usermode with indication about
currently used timecounter, so that libc can fall back to syscall if
configured timecounter is unknown to usermode code.
The shared data updates are initiated both from the tc_windup(), where
a fast task is queued to do the update, and from sysctl handlers which
change timecounter. A manual override switch
kern.timecounter.fast_gettime allows to turn off the mechanism.
Only x86 architectures export the real algorithm data, and there, only
for tsc timecounter. HPET counters page could be exported as well, but
I prefer to not further glue the kernel and libc ABI there until
proper vdso-based solution is developed.
Minimal stubs neccessary for non-x86 architectures to still compile
