made a whole bunch of annoying bugs disappear; mostly depending on
bad use of NBPG in non-MD code. The VAX port was the only port that
used this historical "feature".
The CL* macros should probably go away totally, there is no reason
at all to keep them.
valid bit. This is faster than the "unmap all" solution that were described
in that Mach paper _and_ it eliminates the need for checking the wired bit.
As a result of this; swapping started working again on vax :-)
page {0,1} base and length registers in the pmap structure. They will
be loaded in to the PCB when the process's address space is activated
by way of pmap_activate().
- Remove pmap_pinit() macro; it's now a real function.
- Prototypes for pmap_pinit(), pmap_activate(), pmap_deactivate().
- Map in all physical memory first in system space. This reduces
pmap_copy_page() and pmap_zero_page to 3 resp. 2 instructions.
- Have fized position user page tables. Makes the pv_table smaller
and all reverse references faster (and simpler).
- Remove the wiring code. Nobody doesn't even know what a DR32 is anymore.
- Simulate page reference bit by setting page invalid, as suggested by
Rich Draves in a paper for 1991 Mach Usenix Symposium.
This reduced the time spent in the pmap module to between 70-75% of
the previous; and made process startup _much_ faster.
and will probably work with Massbus adapters as well. (Not tested,
but it's the same code as for 11/780). Ubareset's may cause crashes
on 8600 also like 11/780, but they are more uncommon. No support
for console RL02 yet, but it's likely to come.
