each of the basic types (anonymous data, executable image, cached files)
and prevent the pagedaemon from reusing a given page if that would reduce
the count of that type of page below a sysctl-setable minimum threshold.
the thresholds are controlled via three new sysctl tunables:
vm.anonmin, vm.vnodemin, and vm.vtextmin. these tunables are the
percentages of pageable memory reserved for each usage, and we do not allow
the sum of the minimums to be more than 95% so that there's always some
memory that can be reused.
which indicates that the process is actually running on a
processor. Test against SONPROC as appropriate rather than
combinations of SRUN and curproc. Update all context switch code
to properly set SONPROC when the process becomes the current
process on the CPU.
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.
calls to reflect this. Also, block statclock rather than softclock during
in the proclist locking functions, to address a problem reported on
current-users by Sean Doran.
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. :-)
