idle lwp, and some changes depending on it.
1. separate context switching and thread scheduling.
(cf. gmcgarry_ctxsw)
2. implement idle lwp.
3. clean up related MD/MI interfaces.
4. make scheduler(s) modular.
to be alloctated multiple times:
- we're allocating region of size 1
- there are holes in the extent, but all of size larger than 1
- there are 2 contigous allocations at the end of the extent, the last one
being of size 1.
While there fix a DIAGNOSTIC check: to check that a region is inside the extent
we need to check start and end, not only start.
malloc types into a structure, a pointer to which is passed around,
instead of an int constant. Allow the limit to be adjusted when the
malloc type is defined, or with a function call, as suggested by
Jonathan Stone.
deal with shortages of the VM maps where the backing pages are mapped
(usually kmem_map). Try to deal with this:
* Group all information about the backend allocator for a pool in a
separate structure. The pool references this structure, rather than
the individual fields.
* Change the pool_init() API accordingly, and adjust all callers.
* Link all pools using the same backend allocator on a list.
* The backend allocator is responsible for waiting for physical memory
to become available, but will still fail if it cannot callocate KVA
space for the pages. If this happens, carefully drain all pools using
the same backend allocator, so that some KVA space can be freed.
* Change pool_reclaim() to indicate if it actually succeeded in freeing
some pages, and use that information to make draining easier and more
efficient.
* Get rid of PR_URGENT. There was only one use of it, and it could be
dealt with by the caller.
From art@openbsd.org.
rounded up to respect boundary limits, adjust newstart and last before
skiping to the next region. Otherwise we may check the same candidate
region against the start of the next region, no the one immediatly following
the hole, leading to corrupted map.
This fixes the panic seen on sparc64 with scsi drivers, and probably fixes
PR 15489.
check that newstart + size - 1 doesn't overflow the end of the extent, rather
than the "dontcross" value, which can easily overflow the end of an extent
when being asked for an object with a large boundary requirement. this test
is more valid, in any case, and fixes extent_alloc() failure when the start of
the extent is not "aligned".
<vm/pglist.h> -> <uvm/uvm_pglist.h>
<vm/vm_inherit.h> -> <uvm/uvm_inherit.h>
<vm/vm_kern.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_extern.h>
<vm/vm_object.h> -> nothing
<vm/vm_pager.h> -> into <uvm/uvm_pager.h>
also includes a bunch of <vm/vm_page.h> include removals (due to redudancy
with <vm/vm.h>), and a scattering of other similar headers.
Change #define's of the form
#define panic(a) printf(a)
to
#define \
panic(a) printf(a)
to prevent ctags(1) from detecting there is a tag.
Otherwise, the tags file claims panic() is in subr_extent.c
instead of subr_prf.c.
-a subregion start was ignored if all previous allocations were before
the subregion, reported by Lennart Augustsson in PR kern/7539
-an existing allocation which overlaps the beginning of the subregion
was ignored (ie overlapped) if is is not the last allocation
Also:
* Do the boundary check when creating a new region as well.
* If we crossed the boundary, don't just throw away the region; lop off the
beginning and see if we still fit.
SB16 is now fully functional on the Alpha.
