* 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
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2003/05/08/0068.html
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).
means that the dynamic linker gets mapped in at the top of available
user virtual memory (typically just below the stack), shared libraries
get mapped downwards from that point, and calls to mmap() that don't
specify a preferred address will get mapped in below those.
This means that the heap and the mmap()ed allocations will grow
towards each other, allowing one or the other to grow larger than
before. Previously, the heap was limited to MAXDSIZ by the placement
of the dynamic linker (and the process's rlimits) and the space
available to mmap was hobbled by this reservation.
This is currently only enabled via an *option* for the i386 platform
(though other platforms are expected to follow). Add "options
USE_TOPDOWN_VM" to your kernel config file, rerun config, and rebuild
your kernel to take advantage of this.
Note that the pmap_prefer() interface has not yet been modified to
play nicely with this, so those platforms require a bit more work
(most notably the sparc) before they can use this new memory
arrangement.
This change also introduces a VM_DEFAULT_ADDRESS() macro that picks
the appropriate default address based on the size of the allocation or
the size of the process's text segment accordingly. Several drivers
and the SYSV SHM address assignment were changed to use this instead
of each one picking their own "default".
(there are still some details to work out) but expect that to go
away soon. To support these basic changes (creation of lfs_putpages,
lfs_gop_write, mods to lfs_balloc) several other changes were made, to
wit:
* Create a writer daemon kernel thread whose purpose is to handle page
writes for the pagedaemon, but which also takes over some of the
functions of lfs_check(). This thread is started the first time an
LFS is mounted.
* Add a "flags" parameter to GOP_SIZE. Current values are
GOP_SIZE_READ, meaning that the call should return the size of the
in-core version of the file, and GOP_SIZE_WRITE, meaning that it
should return the on-disk size. One of GOP_SIZE_READ or
GOP_SIZE_WRITE must be specified.
* Instead of using malloc(...M_WAITOK) for everything, reserve enough
resources to get by and use malloc(...M_NOWAIT), using the reserves if
necessary. Use the pool subsystem for structures small enough that
this is feasible. This also obsoletes LFS_THROTTLE.
And a few that are not strictly necessary:
* Moves the LFS inode extensions off onto a separately allocated
structure; getting closer to LFS as an LKM. "Welcome to 1.6O."
* Unified GOP_ALLOC between FFS and LFS.
* Update LFS copyright headers to correct values.
* Actually cast to unsigned in lfs_shellsort, like the comment says.
* Keep track of which segments were empty before the previous
checkpoint; any segments that pass two checkpoints both dirty and
empty can be summarily cleaned. Do this. Right now lfs_segclean
still works, but this should be turned into an effectless
compatibility syscall.
we read-lock the map and call uvm_map_lookup_entry() instead of simply
walking from the header to the next and to the next, etc.
Dumping from sparsely populated amaps could cause faults that would
result in amaps being split, which (in turn) resulted in the core
dumping routines dumping some regions of memory twice. This makes the
core file too large, the headers not match, gdb not work properly,
and so on.

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.
