- 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.
- Lock processes, credentials, filehead etc correctly.
- Acquire a read hold on sysctl_treelock if only doing a query.
- Don't wire down the output buffer. It doesn't work correctly and the code
regularly does long term sleeps with it held - it's not worth it.
- Don't hold locks other than sysctl_lock while doing copyout().
- Drop sysctl_lock while doing copyout / allocating memory in a few places.
- Don't take kernel_lock for sysctl.
- Fix a number of bugs spotted along the way
int foo(struct lwp *l, void *v, register_t *retval)
to:
int foo(struct lwp *l, const struct foo_args *uap, register_t *retval)
Fixup compat code to not write into 'uap' and (in some cases) to actually
pass a correctly formatted 'uap' structure with the right name to the
next routine.
A few 'compat' routines that just call standard ones have been deleted.
All the 'compat' code compiles (along with the kernels required to test
build it).
98% done by automated scripts.
- struct timeval time is gone
time.tv_sec -> time_second
- struct timeval mono_time is gone
mono_time.tv_sec -> time_uptime
- access to time via
{get,}{micro,nano,bin}time()
get* versions are fast but less precise
- support NTP nanokernel implementation (NTP API 4)

- don't use managed mappings/backing objects for wired memory allocations.
save some resources like pv_entry. also fix (most of) PR/27030.
- simplify kernel memory management API.
- simplify pmap bootstrap of some ports.
- some related cleanups.
* For sparc64 and amd64, define *SIZ32 VM constants.
* Add a new function pointer to struct emul, pointing at a function
that will return the default VM map address. The default function
is uvm_map_defaultaddr, which just uses the VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS
macro. This gives emulations control over the default map address,
and allows things to be mapped at the right address (in 32bit range)
for COMPAT_NETBSD32.
* Add code to adjust the data and stack limits when a COMPAT_NETBSD32
or COMPAT_SVR4_32 binary is executed.
* Don't use USRSTACK in kern_resource.c, use p_vmspace->vm_minsaddr
instead (emulations might have set it differently)
* Since this changes struct emul, bump kernel version to 3.99.2
Tested on amd64, compile-tested on sparc64.
segment should succeed even if the segment would be marked removed; use this
to implement the Linux-compatible semantics of shmat(2)
this fixes the old Linux VMware3 graphics problem with local display,
and possibly other local Linux X clients using MIT-SHM
for Linux-compatible shmat() behaviour - shmat() for the removed shared memory
segment must work from all callers, the shared memory id could be passed e.g.
to native X server via MIT-SHM
temporarily remove the functionality, the Linux-compatible semantics
will be reimplemented differently
to pool_init. Untouched pools are ones that either in arch-specific
code, or aren't initialiased during initial system startup.
Convert struct session, ucred and lockf to pools.
