to vm_bootstrap_steal_memory(), since we may need to steal memory from
a direct-mapped segment at this early stage of the game (on e.g. MIPS
and Alpha).
This interface is activated by defining PMAP_STEAL_MEMORY in <machine/pmap.h>.
Otherwise, the pmap_virtual_space() prototype is in-scope for use by
vm_bootstrap_steal_memory().
called "MACHINE_NEW_NONCONGIG". this is required for UVM, the new VM
system (also written by chuck) that is coming soon. adds new functions:
vm_page_physload() -- tell the VM system about an area of memory.
vm_physseg_find() -- returns index in vm_physmem array that this
address is in.
and several new versions of old functions/macros defined in vm_page.h.
this is the MI portion. sparc, and then later i386 portions to come.
all other ports need to change to this ASAP! (alpha is already being
worked on)
and swapctl(). For the former three, they use an 'int' in their user-land
prototype which was a 'u_int' in the kernel, which screwed up automatic
generation/checking of lint syscall stubs. For the latter, the user-land
prototype uses a "const char *", but the syscall just used "char *".

to the stat(2) family and msync(2). This uses a primitive function
versioning scheme.
This reverts the libc shared library major version from 13 to 12, and
adds a few new interfaces to bring us to libc version 12.20.

Use an exclusive (long-term) lock before applying changes to the swap
lists. This lock is also used by the stats system call because of possible
blocking in copyout().
Unlock the object cache before looking for collapse candidates.
Use vm_object_lock_try() to obtain a lock on a collapse candidate.
This avoids a deadlock due to recursively entering
vm_object_deallocate() in case a backing object goes away.
vm_object_collapse() and helper functions:
The object passed in is locked; make sure it is locked when
we leave vm_object_collapse().
XXX: Currently, the object is not unlocked during while we possibly
wait for pager data. We need to consider the effects of
simultaneous calls to vm_object_collapse() on the same object
in case unlocking is necessary.
architectures), truncate them intelligently instead.
The truncation is done centralized in vnode_pager.c.
This prevents from wrap-over effects when parts of large (>2^32 byte) files
are mmapped.
Don't allow to mmap above the numerical range of vm_offset_t.
This is considered a temporary solution until the vm system handles the
object sizes/offsets more cleanly.
object collapse (DONE), machine-dependent hook for virtual memory allocation
(DONE - PMAP_PREFER()), and better coherency between page and buffer
caches (A LITTLE BETTER - we sync up the vnode pager in the sync(2)
system call now).
- It was incorrect. A dev_t should _never_ be compared against
NULL, as 0 is a valid value (major 0, minor 0).
- The operator mave have _intentionally_ set dumpdev to "none"
(i.e. NODEV), and setting it the first time a VBLK swap device
is added would break the semantics.
setroot() deals with all dump device selection. Dumps and swap are now
in no way related.
__VM_PMAP_HACK is defined (for temporary compatibility).
The __VM_PMAP_HACK code should be removed after all the
ports that define it have removed all vm_pmap references.
