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.
* Nothing currently uses this return value.
* It's arguably an abstraction violation.
Fix amap_unadd()'s API to be consistent w/ amap_add()'s: rather than
take a vm_amap * and a slot number, take a vm_aref * and an offset.
It's now actually possible to use amap_unadd() to remove an anon from
an amap.

This is one link on the chain of lossage known as PR#7897. It's
definitely not the right fix, but it's better than nothing.
sub-structure malloc() failed, it was quite likely that the function
would return success incorrectly. This is this direct cause of the bug
reported in PR#7897. (Thanks to chs for helping to track it down.)
- rather than treating MAP_COPY like MAP_PRIVATE by sheer virtue of it not
being MAP_SHARED, actually convert the MAP_COPY flag into MAP_PRIVATE.
- return EINVAL if MAP_SHARED and MAP_PRIVATE are both included in flags.
which use uvm_vslock() should now test the return value. If it's not
KERN_SUCCESS, wiring the pages failed, so the operation which is using
uvm_vslock() should error out.

more about translating error codes in the future.
pmap_change_wiring(...,FALSE) unless the map entry claims the address
is unwired. This fixes the following scenario, as described on
tech-kern@netbsd.org on Wed 6/16/1999 12:25:23:
- User mlock(2)'s a buffer, to guarantee it will never become
non-resident while he is using it.
- User then does physio to that buffer. Physio calls uvm_vslock()
to lock down the pages and ensure that page faults do not happen
while the I/O is in progress (possibly in interrupt context).
- Physio does the I/O.
- Physio calls uvm_vsunlock(). This calls uvm_fault_unwire().
>>> HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURS <<<
uvm_fault_unwire() calls pmap_change_wiring(..., FALSE),
which now gives the pmap free reign to recycle the mapping
information for that page, which is illegal; the mapping is
still wired (due to the mlock(2)), but now access of the
page could cause a non-protection page fault (disallowed).
NOTE: This could eventually lead to a panic when the user
subsequently munlock(2)'s the buffer and the mapping info
has been recycled for use by another mapping!
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 ]
looking up a kernel address, check to see if the address is on this
"interrupt-safe" list. If so, return failure immediately. This prevents
a locking screw if a page fault is taken on an interrupt-safe map in or
out of interrupt context.
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.
access_type to pmap_enter() to ensure that when these mappings are accessed,
possibly in interrupt context, that they won't cause mod/ref emulation

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.
ensure we don't take mod/ref emulation faults in an interrupt context
(e.g. during the i/o operation). This is safe because:
- For a pageout operation, the page is already known to be
modified, and the pagedaemon will pmap_clear_modify() after
the pageout has completed.
- For a pagein operation, pagers must already pmap_clear_modify()
after the pagein operation is complete, because the i/o may have
been done with e.g. programmed i/o.
XXX It would be nice to know the i/o direction so that we can call
XXX pmap_enter() with only the protection and access_type necessary.
to uvm_fault_wire(), to guarantee that the kernel stacks will not
cause even a mod/ref emulation fault.
- uvm_vslock(): pass VM_PROT_NONE until this function is updated.
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.
are still owned by the object which is paging, and so the test for a kernel
object in uvm_unmap_remove() will cause pmap_remove() to be used instead
of pmap_kremove().
This was a MAJOR source of pmap_remove() vs pmap_kremove() inconsistency
(which caused the busted kernel pmap statistics, and a cause of much
locking hair on MP systems).
level directly, instead of making the caller wrap the calls in
splimp()/splx().
- Add a comment documenting that interrupts that cause memory allocation
must be blocked while the free page queue is locked.
Since interrupts must be blocked while this lock is asserted, tying them
together like this helps to prevent mistakes.
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().
releasing any swap resources. if we don't do this, we can
end up with a clean, swap-backed page, which is illegal.
tracked down by Bill Sommerfeld, fixes PR 7578.
the child inherits the stack pointer from the parent (traditional
behavior). Like the signal stack, the stack area is secified as
a low address and a size; machine-dependent code accounts for stack
direction.
This is required for clone(2).
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.
define a flag UVM_PGA_USERESERVE to allow non-kernel object
allocations to use pages from the reserve.
use the new flag for allocations in pmap modules.
memory access a mapping was caused by. This is passed through from uvm_fault()
and udv_fault(), and in most other cases is 0.
The pmap module may use this to preset R/M information. On MMUs which require
R/M emulation, the implementation may preset the bits and avoid taking another
fault. On MMUs which keep R/M information in hardware, the implementation may
preset its cached bits to speed up the next call to pmap_is_modified() or
pmap_is_referenced().
numerous pagedaemon improvements were needed to make this useful:
- don't bother waking up procs waiting for memory if there's none to be had.
- start 4 times as many pageouts as we need free pages.
this should reduce latency in low-memory situations.
- in inactive scanning, if we find dirty swap-backed pages when swap space
is full of non-resident pages, reactivate some number of these to flush
less active pages to the inactive queue so we can consider paging them out.
this replaces the previous scheme of inactivating pages beyond the
inactive target when we failed to free anything during inactive scanning.
- during both active and inactive scanning, free any swap resources from
dirty swap-backed pages if swap space is full. this allows other pages
be paged out into that swap space.
and system call now just return EFAULT). A complete fix will
presumably have to wait for UBC and/or for vnode locking protocols to
be revamped to allow use of shared locks.
offset and size of the requested region to be mapped, so that the
udv_attach() can use the device d_mmap() entry to check mappability

- break anon related functions out of uvm_amap.c and put them in their own

thing would be to allocate the block, but I don't know how to do this.
The panic is preferable to the random memory corruption the old code
was causing.
- 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.
- simplify uvm_faultinfo in uvm_fault.h (parent map tracking no longer needed)
- adjust locking and lookup functions in uvm_fault_i.h to reflect the above
- replace ufi.rvaddr with ufi.orig_rvaddr in uvm_fault.c since rvaddr is
no longer needed.
- no need to worry about share map translations in uvm_fault(). simplify.
and uao_swhash_elt structures. Also, fix a bug in uao_set_swlot() where
if setting the swslot to 0 (freeing swap resources), and no swslot was
currently allocated, a new entry would be allocated anyhow (revealed during
pool'ification).
the pathname of the swap device is saved into. add a char *swd_path
member to struct swapdev, that contains a copy of the pathname

...) [new version] copy the path out. if COMPAT_13, also include
support for SWAP_OSTATS. also fix a minor bug in swapctl(2).
the point of this is that swapfiles are now shown in `swapctl -l'.
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).
histories to merge in cronological order. currently, MAPHIST and
PDHIST are defined as 1 and 2 respectively. passing a bitmask of 0
to uvm_hist() will dump all maps.
as with user-land programs, include files are installed by each directory
in the tree that has includes to install. (This allows more flexibility
as to what gets installed, makes 'partial installs' easier, and gives us
more options as to which machines' includes get installed at any given
time.) The old SYS_INCLUDES={symlinks,copies} behaviours are _both_
still supported, though at least one bug in the 'symlinks' case is
fixed by this change. Include files can't be build before installation,
so directories that have includes as targets (e.g. dev/pci) have to move
those targets into a different Makefile.

thus corrupting the map entry list and causing kmem_map to fill.
