UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
these are the changes to the old Mach VM system to allow both to be
available in the kernel.
to vm_bootstrap_steal_memory(), since we may need to steal memory from
a direct-mapped segment at this early stage of the game (on e.g. MIPS
and Alpha).
This interface is activated by defining PMAP_STEAL_MEMORY in <machine/pmap.h>.
Otherwise, the pmap_virtual_space() prototype is in-scope for use by
vm_bootstrap_steal_memory().
called "MACHINE_NEW_NONCONGIG". this is required for UVM, the new VM
system (also written by chuck) that is coming soon. adds new functions:
vm_page_physload() -- tell the VM system about an area of memory.
vm_physseg_find() -- returns index in vm_physmem array that this
address is in.
and several new versions of old functions/macros defined in vm_page.h.
this is the MI portion. sparc, and then later i386 portions to come.
all other ports need to change to this ASAP! (alpha is already being
worked on)
This clearly needs to be fixed. I would like to declare it:
__pure u_int pmap_page_index __P((vm_offset_t));
but at least the arm port wants it signed [since it tests for -1 all over
the place]. Can we have this fixed please?
eeh
