made a whole bunch of annoying bugs disappear; mostly depending on
bad use of NBPG in non-MD code. The VAX port was the only port that
used this historical "feature".
The CL* macros should probably go away totally, there is no reason
at all to keep them.
- Map in all physical memory first in system space. This reduces
pmap_copy_page() and pmap_zero_page to 3 resp. 2 instructions.
- Have fized position user page tables. Makes the pv_table smaller
and all reverse references faster (and simpler).
- Remove the wiring code. Nobody doesn't even know what a DR32 is anymore.
- Simulate page reference bit by setting page invalid, as suggested by
Rich Draves in a paper for 1991 Mach Usenix Symposium.
This reduced the time spent in the pmap module to between 70-75% of
the previous; and made process startup _much_ faster.
msgbuf. Note that old 'dmesg' and 'syslogd' binaries will continue running,
though old 'dmesg' binaries will output a few bytes of junk at the start of
the buffer, and will miss a few bytes at the end of the buffer.
execpt without quotes. meant to be __CONCAT()ted for easy #includes
of machine-dependent headers for MI code (e.g. for the MI ISA/EISA/PCI/TC
bus code).
arguments are really off_t's (e.g. to btodb), then you can lose
information. This was the "> 4G file systems don't work" bug; physio
uses btodb, which was broken.
