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. :-)
