simplifying uvm_map handling (no special kernel entries anymore no relocking)
make malloc(9) a thin wrapper around kmem(9)
(with private interface for interrupt safety reasons)
releng@ acknowledged
- Reorganize locking in UVM and provide extra serialisation for pmap(9).
New lock order: [vmpage-owner-lock] -> pmap-lock.
- Simplify locking in some pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
- Use lock object on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock) to share
the locks amongst UVM objects where necessary (tmpfs, layerfs, unionfs).
- Rewrite and optimise x86 TLB shootdown code, make it simpler and cleaner.
Add TLBSTATS option for x86 to collect statistics about TLB shootdowns.
- Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking (removes
kernel-lock on some ports). Also, avoid cache-aliasing issues.
Thanks to Andrew Doran and Joerg Sonnenberger, as their initial patches
formed the core changes of this branch.
pathbuf object passed to namei as work space instead. (For now a pnbuf
pointer appears in struct nameidata, to support certain unclean things
that haven't been fixed yet, but it will be going away in the future.)
This removes the need for the SAVENAME and HASBUF namei flags.
system drivers where it was missing from and fixes one buggy
implementation. The arguably weird semantics of the check are
maintained (v_size vs. va_bytes, overwrite).
years ago when the kernel was modified to not alter ABI based on
DIAGNOSTIC, and now just call the respective function interfaces
(in lowercase). Plenty of mix'n match upper/lowercase has creeped
into the tree since then. Nuke the macros and convert all callsites
to lowercase.
no functional change
based on code taken from FreeBSD.
This stops truncation of files larger than 4GB by VOP_SETATTR() which e.g.
happened when copying large files "rump_smbfs". Kudos to Antti Kantee
for diagnosing the problem in smbfs_smb_setfsize().
Be sure that no other active vnodes remains, before trying to release
the root one. Likewise, do not destroy the smbmount specific structure
if the umount will fail (busy conditions).
No objection from pooka@.
the other routines of the same spirit.
Adjust file-system code to use it.
Keep vaccess() for KPI compatibility and to keep element of least
surprise. A "diagnostic" message warning that vaccess() is deprecated will
be printed when it's used (obviously, only in DIAGNOSTIC kernels).

#include "opt_quota.h" which do exactly nothing. Speeds up kernel
compilation by 1.375*10^-20001 seconds. But leave the most moxious
comment in msdosfs_vfsops untouched.
Make VFS hooks dynamic while we're here and say farewell to VFS_ATTACH and
VFS_HOOKS_ATTACH linksets.
As a consequence, most of the file systems can now be loaded as new style
modules.
Quick sanity check by ad@.
proclist_mutex and proclist_lock into a single adaptive mutex (proc_lock).
Implications:
- Inspecting process state requires thread context, so signals can no longer
be sent from a hardware interrupt handler. Signal activity must be
deferred to a soft interrupt or kthread.
- As the proc state locking is simplified, it's now safe to take exit()
and wait() out from under kernel_lock.
- The system spends less time at IPL_SCHED, and there is less lock activity.
Introduce a per-FS rename lock and new vfsops to manipulate it.
Get this lock while renaming. Also add another relookup() in do_sys_rename,
which is a hack to kludge around some of the worst deficiencies of
ufs_rename.
