algorithm (Solaris calls this "Bin Hopping").
This implementation currently relies on MD code to define a
constant defining the number of buckets. This will change
reasonably soon (MD code will be able to dynamically size
the bucket array).

as described in pmap(9).
These calls are relatively conservative. It may be possible to
optimize these a little more.
space is already torn down in uvmspace_free() when the vmspace
refrence count reaches 0. Move the shmexit() call into uvmspace_free().
Note that there is a beneficial side-effect of deferring the unmap
to uvmspace_free() -- on systems where TLB invalidations are
particularly expensive, the unmapping of the address space won't
have to cause TLB invalidations; uvmspace_free() is going to be
run in a context other than the exiting process's, so the "pmap is
active" test will evaluate to FALSE in the pmap module.
entry in the map. the old code would walk around the end of the linked list,
through the header entry, and keep going from the first map entry until it
found a gap in the map, at which point it would return an error. if the map
had no gaps then it would loop forever. reported by k-abe@cs.utah.edu.
while I'm here, clean up this function a bit.
also, use MIN() instead of min(), since the latter takes arguments of
type "int" but we're passing it values of type "vaddr_t", which can be
a larger size.
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.
it and free it as appropriate. Activate p2's new address space once
it references p1's.
- uvm_fork(): Make sure the child's vmspace is NULL before calling
uvmspace_share() (the child doens't have one already in this case).
These changes do not change the behavior for the current use of
uvmspace_share() (vfork(2)), but make it possible for an already
running process (such as a kernel thread) to properly attach to
another process's address space.
to the contents of the hint in the map, and the hint saved in the
map only if the two values match. When an unconditional save is
required, the "check" value passed should be map->hint (and the
compiler will optimize the test away). When deleting a map entry,
the new SAVE_HINT() will only change the hint if the entry being
deleted was the hint value (thus preserving any meaningful hint
that may have been there previously, rather than stomping on it).
- Add a missing hint update when deleting the map entry in
uvm_map_entry_unlink(). This is the fix for kern/11125, from
ITOH Yasufumi <itohy@netbsd.org>.
routine. Works similarly fto pmap_prefer(), but allows callers
to specify a minimum power-of-two alignment of the region.
How we ever got along without this for so long is beyond me.

- 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.
one pmap and activating another. this isn't actually necessary (since
pmap_activate() and pmap_deactivate() affect only user-level mappings,
which cannot be accessed from interrupts anyway), and pmap_activate()
is very slow on old sun4c sparcs so we can't block interrupts for this long.
this fixes PR 8322.
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.

into non-UBC.

without unlocking the map.

of some functions. Use these flags in uvm_map_pageable() to determine
if the map is locked on entry (replaces an already present boolean_t
argument `islocked'), and if the function should return with the map
still locked.
pages.
XXX This should be handled better in the future, probably by marking the
XXX page as released, and making uvm_pageunwire() free the page when
XXX the wire count on a released page reaches zero.
* Implement MADV_DONTNEED: deactivate pages in the specified range,
semantics similar to Solaris's MADV_DONTNEED.
* Add MADV_FREE: free pages and swap resources associated with the
specified range, causing the range to be reloaded from backing
store (vnodes) or zero-fill (anonymous), semantics like FreeBSD's
MADV_FREE and like Digital UNIX's MADV_DONTNEED (isn't it SO GREAT
that madvise(2) isn't standardized!?)
As part of this, move the non-map-modifying advice handling out of
uvm_map_advise(), and into sys_madvise().
As another part, implement general amap cleaning in uvm_map_clean(), and
change uvm_map_clean() to only push dirty pages to disk if PGO_CLEANIT
is set in its flags (and update sys___msync13() accordingly). XXX Add
a patchable global "amap_clean_works", defaulting to 1, which can disable
the amap cleaning code, just in case problems are unearthed; this gives
a developer/user a quick way to recover and send a bug report (e.g. boot
into DDB and change the value).
XXX Still need to implement a real uao_flush().
XXX Need to update the manual page.
With these changes, rebuilding libc will automatically cause the new
malloc(3) to use MADV_FREE to actually release pages and swap resources
when it decides that can be done.
the map be at least read-locked to call this function. This requirement
will be taken advantage of in a future commit.
* Write a uvm_fault_unwire() wrapper which read-locks the map and calls
uvm_fault_unwire_locked().
* Update the comments describing the locking contraints of uvm_fault_wire()
and uvm_fault_unwire().
semantics. That is, regardless of the number of mlock/mlockall calls,
an munlock/munlockall actually unlocks the region (i.e. sets wiring count
to 0).
Add a comment describing why uvm_map_pageable() should not be used for
transient page wirings (e.g. for physio) -- note, it's currently only
(ab)used in this way by a few pieces of code which are known to be
broken, i.e. the Amiga and Atari pmaps, and i386 and pc532 if PMAP_NEW is
not used. The i386 GDT code uses uvm_map_pageable(), but in a safe
way, and could be trivially converted to use uvm_fault_wire() instead.
* 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 ]
setting recursive has no effect! The kernel lock manager doesn't allow
an exclusive recursion into a shared lock. This situation must simply
be avoided. The only place where this might be a problem is the (ab)use
of uvm_map_pageable() in the Utah-derived pmaps for m68k (they should
either toss the iffy scheme they use completely, or use something like
uvm_fault_wire()).
In addition, once we have looped over uvm_fault_wire(), only upgrade to
an exclusive (write) lock if we need to modify the map again (i.e.
wiring a page failed).
don't unlock a kernel map (!!!) and then relock it later; a recursive lock,
as it used in the user map case, is fine. Also, don't change map entries
while only holding a read lock on the map. Instead, if we fail to wire
a page, clear recursive locking, and upgrade back to a write lock before
dropping the wiring count on the remaining map entries.
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.
