Mach VM's now. Specific changes:
- Pages now need not have all of their mappings removed before being
put on the inactive list. They only need to have the "referenced"
attribute cleared. This makes putting pages onto the inactive list
much more efficient. In order to eliminate redundant clearings of
"refrenced", callers of uvm_pagedeactivate() must now do this
themselves.
- When checking the "modified" attribute for a page (for clearing
PG_CLEAN), make sure to only do it if PG_CLEAN is currently set on
the page (saves a potentially expensive pmap operation).
- When scanning the inactive list, if a page is referenced, reactivate
it (this part was actually added in uvm_pdaemon.c,v 1.27). This
now works properly now that pages on the inactive list are allowed to
have mappings.
- When scanning the inactive list and considering a page for freeing,
remove all mappings, and then check the "modified" attribute if the
page is marked PG_CLEAN.
- When scanning the active list, if the page was referenced since its
last sweep by the scanner, don't deactivate it. (This part was
actually added in uvm_pdaemon.c,v 1.28.)
These changes greatly improve interactive performance during
moderate to high memory and I/O load.
use queue.h macros and KASSERT().
address amap offsets in pages instead of bytes.
make amap_ref() and amap_unref() take an amap, offset and length
instead of a vm_map_entry_t.
improve whitespace and comments.
<vm/pglist.h> -> <uvm/uvm_pglist.h>
<vm/vm_inherit.h> -> <uvm/uvm_inherit.h>
<vm/vm_kern.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_extern.h>
<vm/vm_object.h> -> nothing
<vm/vm_pager.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_pager.h>
also includes a bunch of <vm/vm_page.h> include removals (due to redudancy
with <vm/vm.h>), and a scattering of other similar headers.
Add a new type voff_t (defined as a synonym for off_t) to describe offsets
into uvm objects, and update the appropriate interfaces to use it, the
most visible effect being the ability to mmap() file offsets beyond
the range of a vaddr_t.
Originally by Chuck Silvers; blame me for problems caused by merging this
into non-UBC.
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.
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).
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.
this is the UVM kernel code portion.
this will be KNF'd shortly. :-)
