use both types of list.
- Make page coloring and idle zero state per-CPU.
- Maintain per-CPU page freelists. When freeing, put pages onto the local
CPU's lists and the global lists. When allocating, prefer to take pages
from the local CPU. If none are available take from the global list as
done now. Proposed on tech-kern@.
proclist_mutex and proclist_lock into a single adaptive mutex (proc_lock).
Implications:
- Inspecting process state requires thread context, so signals can no longer
be sent from a hardware interrupt handler. Signal activity must be
deferred to a soft interrupt or kthread.
- As the proc state locking is simplified, it's now safe to take exit()
and wait() out from under kernel_lock.
- The system spends less time at IPL_SCHED, and there is less lock activity.
tech-kern:
- Invert priority space so that zero is the lowest priority. Rearrange
number and type of priority levels into bands. Add new bands like
'kernel real time'.
- Ignore the priority level passed to tsleep. Compute priority for
sleep dynamically.
- For SCHED_4BSD, make priority adjustment per-LWP, not per-process.
from doc/BRANCHES:
idle lwp, and some changes depending on it.
1. separate context switching and thread scheduling.
(cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw)
2. implement idle lwp.
3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces.
4. make scheduler(s) modular.
P_*/L_* naming convention, and rename the in-kernel flags to avoid
conflict. (P_ -> PK_, L_ -> LW_ ). Add back the (now unused) LSDEAD
constant.
Restores source compatibility with pre-newlock2 tools like ps or top.

-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
not running on the same CPU as the swapper. l_stat is protected by
sched_lock, which isn't held here, so we can race with that lwp
starting to run and see its l_cpu not updated yet, as in PR 31870.
we check l_stat again in uvm_swapout() while holding sched_lock,
so the race itself is harmless.
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.
protection does not include VM_PROT_READ, so that the core dumping
doesn't error out with EFAULT when trying to write that region.
Addresses PR kern/30143; approach suggested by chs@.
- 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.
