- finish implementing splraiseipl (and makeiplcookie).
http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-kern/2006/07/01/0000.html
- complete workqueue(9) and fix its ipl problem, which is reported
to cause audio skipping.
- fix netbt (at least compilation problems) for some ports.
- fix PR/33218.
executable mapping. Up to now, only R+W was requested from pmap_kenter_pa.
On most CPUs, we get an executable mapping anyway, due to lack of
hardware support or due to lazyness in the pmap implementation. Only
alpha does obey VM_PROT_EXECUTE, afaics.
any purpose (done by a macro, so we don't save any cycles for now)
-kill vm_fault_t; it is not needed for real faults, and for simulated
faults (wiring) it can be replaced by UVM internal flags
-remove <uvm/uvm_fault.h> from uvm_extern.h again
- use vmspace rather than proc or lwp where appropriate.
the latter is more natural to specify an address space.
(and less likely to be abused for random purposes.)
- fix a swdmover race.
i/o is done. Instead, pass an opaque cookie which is then passed to a
new routine, coredump_write, which does the actual i/o. This allows the
method of doing i/o to change without affecting any future MD code.
Also, make netbsd32_core.c [re]use core_netbsd.c (in a similar manner that
core_elf64.c uses core_elf32.c) and eliminate that code duplication.
cpu_coredump{,32} is now called twice, first with a NULL iocookie to fill
the core structure and a second to actually write md parts of the coredump.
All i/o is nolonger random access and is suitable for shipping over a stream.
- don't use managed mappings/backing objects for wired memory allocations.
save some resources like pv_entry. also fix (most of) PR/27030.
- simplify kernel memory management API.
- simplify pmap bootstrap of some ports.
- some related cleanups.
* For sparc64 and amd64, define *SIZ32 VM constants.
* Add a new function pointer to struct emul, pointing at a function
that will return the default VM map address. The default function
is uvm_map_defaultaddr, which just uses the VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS
macro. This gives emulations control over the default map address,
and allows things to be mapped at the right address (in 32bit range)
for COMPAT_NETBSD32.
* Add code to adjust the data and stack limits when a COMPAT_NETBSD32
or COMPAT_SVR4_32 binary is executed.
* Don't use USRSTACK in kern_resource.c, use p_vmspace->vm_minsaddr
instead (emulations might have set it differently)
* Since this changes struct emul, bump kernel version to 3.99.2
Tested on amd64, compile-tested on sparc64.
this means we can no longer look at the vnode size to determine how many
pages to request in a fault, which is good since for NFS the size can change
out from under us on the server anyway. there's also a new flag UBC_UNMAP
for ubc_release(), so that the file system code can make the decision about
whether to cache mappings for files being used as executables.
- allocate kva for vm_map_entry from the map itsself and
remove the static limit, MAX_KMAPENT.
- keep merged entries for later splitting to fix allocate-to-free problem.
PR/24039.
insert the replacement page into the same position
as the original page on the object memq so that
genfs_putpages (and lfs) won't be confused.

process context ('reaper').
From within the exiting process context:
* deactivate pmap and free vmspace while we can still block
* introduce MD cpu_lwp_free() - this cleans all MD-specific context (such
as FPU state), and is the last potentially blocking operation;
all of cpu_wait(), and most of cpu_exit(), is now folded into cpu_lwp_free()
* process is now immediatelly marked as zombie and made available for pickup
by parent; the remaining last lwp continues the exit as fully detached
* MI (rather than MD) code bumps uvmexp.swtch, cpu_exit() is now same
for both 'process' and 'lwp' exit
uvm_lwp_exit() is modified to never block; the u-area memory is now
always just linked to the list of available u-areas. Introduce (blocking)
uvm_uarea_drain(), which is called to release the excessive u-area memory;
this is called by parent within wait4(), or by pagedaemon on memory shortage.
uvm_uarea_free() is now private function within uvm_glue.c.
MD process/lwp exit code now always calls lwp_exit2() immediatelly after
switching away from the exiting lwp.
g/c now unneeded routines and variables, including the reaper kernel thread
uvm_km_valloc1(), and use it to express all of
uvm_km_valloc()
uvm_km_valloc_wait()
uvm_km_valloc_prefer()
uvm_km_valloc_prefer_wait()
uvm_km_valloc_align()
in terms of it by macro expansion.
copyin() or copyout().
uvm_useracc() tells us whether the mapping permissions allow access to
the desired part of an address space, and many callers assume that
this is the same as knowing whether an attempt to access that part of
the address space will succeed. however, access to user space can
fail for reasons other than insufficient permission, most notably that
paging in any non-resident data can fail due to i/o errors. most of
the callers of uvm_useracc() make the above incorrect assumption. the
rest are all misguided optimizations, which optimize for the case
where an operation will fail. we'd rather optimize for operations
succeeding, in which case we should just attempt the access and handle
failures due to insufficient permissions the same way we handle i/o
errors. since there appear to be no good uses of uvm_useracc(), we'll
just remove it.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2003/05/08/0068.html
There were some side-effects that I didn't anticipate, and fixing them
is proving to be more difficult than I thought, do just eject for now.
Maybe one day we can look at this again.
Fixes PR kern/21517.
space is advertised to UVM by making virtual_avail and virtual_end
first-class exported variables by UVM. Machine-dependent code is
responsible for initializing them before main() is called. Anything
that steals KVA must adjust these variables accordingly.
This reduces the number of instances of this info from 3 to 1, and
simplifies the pmap(9) interface by removing the pmap_virtual_space()
function call, and removing two arguments from pmap_steal_memory().
This also eliminates some kludges such as having to burn kernel_map
entries on space used by the kernel and stolen KVA.
This also eliminates use of VM_{MIN,MAX}_KERNEL_ADDRESS from MI code,
this giving MD code greater flexibility over the bounds of the managed
kernel virtual address space if a given port's specific platforms can
vary in this regard (this is especially true of the evb* ports).
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
to sleep. Define UVM_KMF_NOWAIT in terms of UVM_FLAG_NOWAIT.
From Manuel Bouyer. Fixes a problem where any mapping with
read protection was created in a "nowait" context, causing
spurious failures.
