define a flag UVM_PGA_USERESERVE to allow non-kernel object
allocations to use pages from the reserve.
use the new flag for allocations in pmap modules.
memory access a mapping was caused by. This is passed through from uvm_fault()
and udv_fault(), and in most other cases is 0.
The pmap module may use this to preset R/M information. On MMUs which require
R/M emulation, the implementation may preset the bits and avoid taking another
fault. On MMUs which keep R/M information in hardware, the implementation may
preset its cached bits to speed up the next call to pmap_is_modified() or
pmap_is_referenced().
numerous pagedaemon improvements were needed to make this useful:
- don't bother waking up procs waiting for memory if there's none to be had.
- start 4 times as many pageouts as we need free pages.
this should reduce latency in low-memory situations.
- in inactive scanning, if we find dirty swap-backed pages when swap space
is full of non-resident pages, reactivate some number of these to flush
less active pages to the inactive queue so we can consider paging them out.
this replaces the previous scheme of inactivating pages beyond the
inactive target when we failed to free anything during inactive scanning.
- during both active and inactive scanning, free any swap resources from
dirty swap-backed pages if swap space is full. this allows other pages
be paged out into that swap space.
and system call now just return EFAULT). A complete fix will
presumably have to wait for UBC and/or for vnode locking protocols to
be revamped to allow use of shared locks.
offset and size of the requested region to be mapped, so that the
udv_attach() can use the device d_mmap() entry to check mappability
of the requested region.
- break anon related functions out of uvm_amap.c and put them in their own
file (uvm_anon.c). includes break up uvm_anon_init into an amap and an
an anon init function
- ensure that only functions within the amap module access amap structure
fields (add macros to amap api as needed)
thing would be to allocate the block, but I don't know how to do this.
The panic is preferable to the random memory corruption the old code
was causing.
- replace map checks with submap checks
- get rid of unused 'mainonly' arg in uvm_unmap/uvm_unmap_remove, simplify
code. update all calls to reflect this.
- don't worry about unmapping or changing the protection of shared share
map mappings (is_main_map no longer used).
- remove unused uvm_map_sharemapcopy() function from fork code.
- simplify uvm_faultinfo in uvm_fault.h (parent map tracking no longer needed)
- adjust locking and lookup functions in uvm_fault_i.h to reflect the above
- replace ufi.rvaddr with ufi.orig_rvaddr in uvm_fault.c since rvaddr is
no longer needed.
- no need to worry about share map translations in uvm_fault(). simplify.
and uao_swhash_elt structures. Also, fix a bug in uao_set_swlot() where
if setting the swslot to 0 (freeing swap resources), and no swslot was
currently allocated, a new entry would be allocated anyhow (revealed during
pool'ification).
the pathname of the swap device is saved into. add a char *swd_path
member to struct swapdev, that contains a copy of the pathname
(using malloc(9)). rename swapctl(2)'s SWAP_STATS to SWAP_OSTATS,
and add a new SWAP_STATS command (number). make swapctl(SWAP_STATS,
...) [new version] copy the path out. if COMPAT_13, also include
support for SWAP_OSTATS. also fix a minor bug in swapctl(2).
the point of this is that swapfiles are now shown in `swapctl -l'.
default free list, and 0 - N additional free list, in order of descending
priority.
A new page allocation function, uvm_pagealloc_strat(), has been added,
providing three page allocation strategies:
- normal: high -> low priority free list walk, taking the
page off the first free list that has one.
- only: attempt to allocate a page only from the specified free
list, failing if that free list has none available.
- fallback: if `only' fails, fall back on `normal'.
uvm_pagealloc(...) is provided for normal use (and is a synonym for
uvm_pagealloc_strat(..., UVM_PGA_STRAT_NORMAL, 0); the free list argument
is ignored for the `normal' case).
uvm_page_physload() now specified which free list the pages will be
loaded onto. This means that some platforms which have multiple physical
memory segments may define additional vm_physsegs if they wish to break
individual physical segments into differing priorities.
Machine-dependent code must define _at least_ the following constants
in <machine/vmparam.h>:
VM_NFREELIST: the number of free lists the system will have
VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT: the default freelist (should always be 0,
but is defined in machdep code so that it's with all of the
other free list-related constants).
Additional free list names may be defined by machine-dependent code, but
they will only be used by machine-dependent code (e.g. for loading the
vm_physsegs).
histories to merge in cronological order. currently, MAPHIST and
PDHIST are defined as 1 and 2 respectively. passing a bitmask of 0
to uvm_hist() will dump all maps.
as with user-land programs, include files are installed by each directory
in the tree that has includes to install. (This allows more flexibility
as to what gets installed, makes 'partial installs' easier, and gives us
more options as to which machines' includes get installed at any given
time.) The old SYS_INCLUDES={symlinks,copies} behaviours are _both_
still supported, though at least one bug in the 'symlinks' case is
fixed by this change. Include files can't be build before installation,
so directories that have includes as targets (e.g. dev/pci) have to move
those targets into a different Makefile.
fixes problem reported by Ken Nakata <kenn@synap.ne.jp> on the mac68k
where the stack amap chunking caused entry->end to wrap around to zero,
thus corrupting the map entry list and causing kmem_map to fill.
write protection. this stops data corruption where it was possible
to change the in-memory copy of an append-only file (but not the on-disk
copy). this is documented in NetBSD security advisory 1998-003. thanks
to darrenr, lukem, cgd, mycroft and mrg for this.
later incremented correctedly, causing the wrong data to be paged out, which
then caused general lossage later when the data was paged in and the process
tried to use it. found by pk.
the new proc structure when performing a fork. This makes it much
easier to abort a fork operation and return an error if we run out
of KVA space.
The U-area pages are still wired down in {,u}vm_fork(), as before.
- release the correct page (ppsp[lcv], not pg)
- don't access the page's fields after we have released it
- in the uvm_objct case: move on to the next page if we've released
[should have been merged in on 1998/02/12, but we somehow missed it]
the very rare case of shared mappings that have amap's attached in a
reasonable way -- this is not currently causing any problems, but i
fixed it anyway. update the comment in this section of code and also
be smarter about avoiding needless calls to pmap_protect().
that we don't try and sync them later. should get rid of the
"uvm_vnp_sync: dying vnode on sync list" related warnings that were
occuring during a "make install."
the SPARC.
Remove the #ifdef COMPAT_13 for automatically adding a sharing type, since the
interface is *supposed* to support this.
Also modify the DIAGNOSTIC messages here a bit.
- Protect option headers from inclusion if ! _KERNEL or if _LKM.
- Make sure struct uvm_history is always the same size (not dependent
on NCPU).
- Add fmtlen and fnlen members to struct uvm_history_ent, which specify
the lengths fo the fmt and fn strings.
- Add name, namelen, and a list entry to struct uvm_history.
- When a history is initialized, place it on the global list of all histories.
the history buffers are "struct uvm_history_ent" to ensure proper
alignment (eg, alpha). this fixes a boottime panic when the pdhist was
used before it had been initialised.
