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.
right access_type to pass to uvm_fault_wire(). This way, if the entry has
VM_PROT_WRITE, and the entry is marked COW, the copy will happen immediately
in uvm_fault(), as if the access were performed.
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.
which can be used in an interrupt context. Use pmap_kenter*() and
pmap_kremove() only for mappings owned by these objects.
Fixes some locking protocol issues related to MP support, and eliminates
all of the pmap_enter vs. pmap_kremove inconsistencies.
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().
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.
- break anon related functions out of uvm_amap.c and put them in their own
file (uvm_anon.c). includes break up uvm_anon_init into an amap and an
an anon init function
- ensure that only functions within the amap module access amap structure
fields (add macros to amap api as needed)
- replace map checks with submap checks
- get rid of unused 'mainonly' arg in uvm_unmap/uvm_unmap_remove, simplify
code. update all calls to reflect this.
- don't worry about unmapping or changing the protection of shared share
map mappings (is_main_map no longer used).
- remove unused uvm_map_sharemapcopy() function from fork code.
default free list, and 0 - N additional free list, in order of descending
priority.
A new page allocation function, uvm_pagealloc_strat(), has been added,
providing three page allocation strategies:
- normal: high -> low priority free list walk, taking the
page off the first free list that has one.
- only: attempt to allocate a page only from the specified free
list, failing if that free list has none available.
- fallback: if `only' fails, fall back on `normal'.
uvm_pagealloc(...) is provided for normal use (and is a synonym for
uvm_pagealloc_strat(..., UVM_PGA_STRAT_NORMAL, 0); the free list argument
is ignored for the `normal' case).
uvm_page_physload() now specified which free list the pages will be
loaded onto. This means that some platforms which have multiple physical
memory segments may define additional vm_physsegs if they wish to break
individual physical segments into differing priorities.
Machine-dependent code must define _at least_ the following constants
in <machine/vmparam.h>:
VM_NFREELIST: the number of free lists the system will have
VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT: the default freelist (should always be 0,
but is defined in machdep code so that it's with all of the
other free list-related constants).
Additional free list names may be defined by machine-dependent code, but
they will only be used by machine-dependent code (e.g. for loading the
vm_physsegs).
the very rare case of shared mappings that have amap's attached in a
reasonable way -- this is not currently causing any problems, but i
fixed it anyway. update the comment in this section of code and also
be smarter about avoiding needless calls to pmap_protect().
the history buffers are "struct uvm_history_ent" to ensure proper
alignment (eg, alpha). this fixes a boottime panic when the pdhist was
used before it had been initialised.
UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
this is the UVM kernel code portion.
this will be KNF'd shortly. :-)
