doing a cpu_set_kpc(), just pass the entry point and argument all
the way down the fork path starting with fork1(). In order to
avoid special-casing the normal fork in every cpu_fork(), MI code
passes down child_return() and the child process pointer explicitly.
This fixes a race condition on multiprocessor systems; a CPU could
grab the newly created processes (which has been placed on a run queue)
before cpu_set_kpc() would be performed.
- Make page free lists have two actual queues: known-zero pages and
pages with unknown contents.
- Implement uvm_pageidlezero(). This function attempts to zero up to
the target number of pages until the target has been reached (currently
target is `all free pages') or until whichqs becomes non-zero (indicating
that a process is ready to run).
- Define a new hook for the pmap module for pre-zero'ing pages. This is
used to zero the pages using uncached access. This allows us to zero
as many pages as we want without polluting the cache.
In order to use this feature, each platform must add the appropropriate
glue in their idle loop.
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.
* Remove the casts to vaddr_t from the round_page() and trunc_page() macros to
make them type-generic, which is necessary i.e. to operate on file offsets
without truncating them.
* In due course, cast pointer arguments to these macros to an appropriate
integral type (paddr_t, vaddr_t).
Originally done by Chuck Silvers, updated by myself.
amount of physical memory, divide it by 4, and then allow machine
dependent code to place upper and lower bounds on the size. Export
the computed value to userspace via the new "vm.nkmempages" sysctl.
NKMEMCLUSTERS is now deprecated and will generate an error if you
attempt to use it. The new option, should you choose to use it,
is called NKMEMPAGES, and two new options NKMEMPAGES_MIN and
NKMEMPAGES_MAX allow the user to configure the bounds in the kernel
config file.
value (KERN_SUCCESS or KERN_RESOURCE_SHORTAGE) indicating if it succeeded
or failed. Change the `wired' and `access_type' arguments to a single
`flags' argument, which includes the access type, and flags:
PMAP_WIRED the old `wired' boolean
PMAP_CANFAIL pmap_enter() is allowed to fail
If PMAP_CANFAIL is not specified, the pmap should behave as it always
has in the face of a drastic resource shortage: fall over dead.
Change the fault handler to deal with failure (which indicates resource
shortage) by unlocking everything, waiting for the pagedaemon to free
more memory, then retrying the fault.
* Provide POSIX 1003.1b mlockall(2) and munlockall(2) system calls.
MCL_CURRENT is presently implemented. MCL_FUTURE is not fully
implemented. Also, the same one-unlock-for-every-lock caveat
currently applies here as it does to mlock(2). This will be
addressed in a future commit.
* Provide the mincore(2) system call, with the same semantics as
Solaris.
* Clean up the error recovery in uvm_map_pageable().
* Fix a bug where a process would hang if attempting to mlock a
zero-fill region where none of the pages in that region are resident.
[ This fix has been submitted for inclusion in 1.4.1 ]
looking up a kernel address, check to see if the address is on this
"interrupt-safe" list. If so, return failure immediately. This prevents
a locking screw if a page fault is taken on an interrupt-safe map in or
out of interrupt context.
locks (and thus, never shared locks). Move the "set/clear recursive"
functions to uvm_map.c, which is the only placed they're used (and
they should go away anyhow). Delete some unused cruft.
has PAGEABLE and INTRSAFE flags. PAGEABLE now really means "pageable",
not "allocate vm_map_entry's from non-static pool", so update all map
creations to reflect that. INTRSAFE maps are maps that are used in
interrupt context (e.g. kmem_map, mb_map), and thus use the static
map entry pool (XXX as does kernel_map, for now). This will eventually
change now these maps are locked, as well.
end of the mappable kernel virtual address space. Previously, it would
get called more often than necessary, because the caller only new what
was requested.
Also, export uvm_maxkaddr so that uvm_pageboot_alloc() can grow the
kernel pmap if necessary, as well. Note that pmap_growkernel() must
now be able to handle being called before pmap_init().
the child inherits the stack pointer from the parent (traditional
behavior). Like the signal stack, the stack area is secified as
a low address and a size; machine-dependent code accounts for stack
direction.
This is required for clone(2).
uvmspace_fork().
pmap_fork() is used to "fork a pmap", that is copy data from one pmap
to the other that is NOT related to actual mappings in the pmap, but is
otherwise logically coupled to the address space.
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().
(2x NPROC plus slop) unless expclitly set. Use current constant value
(100) as a lower bound, as suggested by Chuck Cranor.
Move NPROC and other parameter definitions from param.c to param.h so
they are visible to vm/vm_map.h.
Systems with hand-tuned NPROC should now support that many processes.
- share_map in vm_map_object. UVM doesn't use share maps, so drop unused
partial support for them to simplify the code.
- is_main_map in vm_map. no longer needed once share maps are gone.
- vm_map_version_t. map versions are handled elsewhere in UVM.
