uvm_swap_free() being called with a zero slot; this might have been
the reason for crashes with sysvshm and heavy swapping.
(PR kern/22752 by Tom Spindler)
Confirmed by Chuck Silvers.
the `# swap page in use' and `# swap page only' counters. However, at the
time of swap device removal we can no longer figure out how many of the
bad swap pages are actually also `swap only' pages.
So, on swap I/O errors arrange things to not include the bad swap pages in
the `swpgonly' counter as follows: uvm_swap_markbad() decrements `swpgonly'
by the number of bad pages, and the various VM object deallocation routines
do not decrement `swpgonly' for swap slots marked as SWSLOT_BAD.
and make the stack and heap non-executable by default. the changes
fall into two basic catagories:
- pmap and trap-handler changes. these are all MD:
= alpha: we already track per-page execute permission with the (software)
PG_EXEC bit, so just have the trap handler pay attention to it.
= i386: use a new GDT segment for %cs for processes that have no
executable mappings above a certain threshold (currently the
bottom of the stack). track per-page execute permission with
the last unused PTE bit.
= powerpc/ibm4xx: just use the hardware exec bit.
= powerpc/oea: we already track per-page exec bits, but the hardware only
implements non-exec mappings at the segment level. so track the
number of executable mappings in each segment and turn on the no-exec
segment bit iff the count is 0. adjust the trap handler to deal.
= sparc (sun4m): fix our use of the hardware protection bits.
fix the trap handler to recognize text faults.
= sparc64: split the existing unified TSB into data and instruction TSBs,
and only load TTEs into the appropriate TSB(s) for the permissions.
fix the trap handler to check for execute permission.
= not yet implemented: amd64, hppa, sh5
- changes in all the emulations that put a signal trampoline on the stack.
instead, we now put the trampoline into a uvm_aobj and map that into
the process separately.
originally from openbsd, adapted for netbsd by me.
* Remove the "lwp *" argument that was added to vget(). Turns out
that nothing actually used it!
* Remove the "lwp *" arguments that were added to VFS_ROOT(), VFS_VGET(),
and VFS_FHTOVP(); all they did was pass it to vget() (which, as noted
above, didn't use it).
* Remove all of the "lwp *" arguments to internal functions that were added
just to appease the above.
be inserted into ktrace records. The general change has been to replace
"struct proc *" with "struct lwp *" in various function prototypes, pass
the lwp through and use l_proc to get the process pointer when needed.
Bump the kernel rev up to 1.6V

There were some side-effects that I didn't anticipate, and fixing them
is proving to be more difficult than I thought, do just eject for now.
Maybe one day we can look at this again.
Fixes PR kern/21517.
space is advertised to UVM by making virtual_avail and virtual_end
first-class exported variables by UVM. Machine-dependent code is
responsible for initializing them before main() is called. Anything
that steals KVA must adjust these variables accordingly.
This reduces the number of instances of this info from 3 to 1, and
simplifies the pmap(9) interface by removing the pmap_virtual_space()
function call, and removing two arguments from pmap_steal_memory().
This also eliminates some kludges such as having to burn kernel_map
entries on space used by the kernel and stolen KVA.
This also eliminates use of VM_{MIN,MAX}_KERNEL_ADDRESS from MI code,
this giving MD code greater flexibility over the bounds of the managed
kernel virtual address space if a given port's specific platforms can
vary in this regard (this is especially true of the evb* ports).
first step towards per-device MAXPHYS, and has the beneficial side effect
of allowing clustering to MAXPHYS even on systems that need to run with
a reduced MAXBSIZE to get more metadata buffers.
* Remove DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE. We don't use PAGE_SIZE the way Mach did.
* In uvm_setpagesize(), if we are called with uvmexp.pagesize == 0,
then assert that PAGE_SIZE != 0 (i.e. a constant), and set uvmexp.pagesize
accordingly.
* Provide defaults for MIN_PAGE_SIZE and MAX_PAGE_SIZE if not defined
by <machine/vmparam.h>. If PAGE_SIZE is not a constant, MIN_PAGE_SIZE
and MAX_PAGE_SIZE must be provided.
* If MIN_PAGE_SIZE and MAX_PAGE_SIZE are not equal (i.e. PAGE_SIZE may
not be a constant in all configurations), then ensure that PAGE_SIZE
and friends expand to variable references for LKMs.
* User allocates ZFOD region, but does not actually touch the buffer
to fault in the pages.
* In a loop, user writes this buffer to a network socket, triggering
sosend_loan().
* uvm_loan() calls uvm_loanzero() once for each page in the loaned
region (since the pages have not yet faulted in). This causes a
page to be allocated and zero'd. The result is the kernel spends
a lot of time allocating and zero'ing pages.
This fixes creates a special object which owns a single zero'd page.
This single zero'd page is used to satisfy all loans of non-resident
ZFOD mappings.
Thanks to Allen Briggs for discovering the problem and for providing
an initial patch.
previous entry. (not if the current entry starts at the end of the new
space; that case doesn't take into account if the new space had a specified
alignment).
