Welcome to 1.6ZK

so the last change has us comparing pages to bytes instead of pages
to buffers! The consequence was to try to free radically less memory
than UVM wanted us to -- though always at least one buffer, which is
probably why the results weren't dire.
This does suggest that buf_canrelease() could be a *lot* more
conservative about how much to release than "2 * page deficit". In
fact, serious trouble seems to ensue if it's not -- when anything
else on the system demands enough pages, we slam down to the low
water mark nd stay there. I've adjusted it to use min(page defecit,
buffer memory / 16), which still isn't quite right but seems better.
Another change: consider the case of an infinite loop that does
"tar xzf pkgsrc.tar.gz ; rm -rf pkgsrc". Each time the rm runs,
all the dead metadata will go on the AGE list -- and, until we hit
the high-water mark, stay there, at which point it may be slowly
recycled. Two adjustments seem to solve this: 1) whack buf_lotsfree()
to return 0 if there's anything on the AGE list; 2) whack buf_canrelease()
to count the memory used by the AGE list and always return at least
that much.
This basically turns the AGE list into a "delayed free" list, since we
can't entirely eliminate it as we can't free pool items from interrupt
context (e.g. from biodone()).
To consider: with the bookkeeping corrected, should buf_drain() move
back to the _end_ of the pagedaemon, and should the calculation then
try to give back at least the current defecit?
the latter is not a appropriate place to do so and it broke vfork.
- deactivate pmap before calling cpu_exit() to keep a balance of
pmap_activate/deactivate.
and uncontrolled growth.
The key fix is from Dan Carasone, who noticed that buf_canfree() was
counting in _bytes_ but freeing in _buffers_, which caused the instant
drop to lowater observed by some users.
We now control the rate of growth; the probability of getting a new
allocation is inversely proportional to the current size of the
cache. This idea is from a long-ago conversation with Kirk McKusick
and, if memory serves, was used for the file-system cache in some
other BSD variant at some point in history.
With growth and shrinkage more or less dealt with, we return the
default maximum cache size to 15%. The default _minimum_ cache size
is raised from 1/16 of the maximum cache size to 1/8, since 1/16 was
chosen when the maximum size was 30% of memory.
Finally, after observing the behaviour of the pagedaemon and the
buffer cache drainer under pathological workloads (e.g. a benchmark
that steps through 75% of available memory backwards) I have moved
the call to buf_drain() to the beginning of the pagedaemon from the
end; if the pagedaemon bogs down, it still won't get run as often
as it should, but at least this way it will see the state of the
free count and free target _before_ the scan step does its thing.

cache) from 30% to 20%. This seems to significantly smooth the oscillation
between "almost no memory available" and "UVM free target available" caused
by the current sudden, heavy backpressure on the metadata cache. We should
revisit this again once the backpressure mechanism is better tuned; ideally,
the hard limit should almost never come into play, because the metadata
cache should gradually give back pages as buffers hit the AGE list and as
the page cache demands them, rather than giving back a big slug of pages
all at once when UVM decides it's in a hurry and fires off the page daemon.
Just how well this adjustment works is likely to vary significantly from
machine to machine depending on I/O mix, filesystem frag size, and total
memory. However, 20% seems to be quite a bit better than 30% on several
systems I've tested and is, coincidentally, more than enough to cache
the entire metadata working set of the AnonCVS server with 100 clients,
which is a useful worst-case stake in the ground...
0.5%, based on some quick measurements on a number of workstations and
small fileservers (including my home fileserver running simultaneous
builds of the NetBSD source tree and several NetBSD kernels). This
brings the hit rate on my machines from below 70% to above 90%. We
should be able to tune this as we run, by tracking the hit rate and
increasing the size of the cache if memory permits.
Some systems will still require significantly larger cache sizes. Some
ports -- notably the 64-bit ones -- probably should use more than 1% of
physmem as the default due to the larger size of struct vnode.
buf_mrelease(). Without this, though the pages are returned to the
relevant *pool*, they are never available for any other use in the
system.
Now the backpressure on the physical size of the buffer cache through
the buf_drain() call in the pagedaemon works correctly. If anything,
it may be a bit more aggressive than intended. On my 256MB system,
with vm.bufcache set to the default 30% of physmem, a kernel with this
fix can do 5 simultaneous config/makedep/builds of different NetBSD
kernels in 1313 seconds; with the "traditional" buffer cache code it
requires 1320 seconds. Running "find / -type d -exec ls -l {}" while
the build is going demonstrates that the backpressure is working
correctly: free memory oscillates slowly between close to none and
the UVM target free, and vmstat -m shows a large number of releases
for the buffer pools.
For future work: how is "bufpl" memory returned to the system? This
is not obvious to me (I must be looking in the wrong place). Also,
buf_mrelease() is also called from brelse() in some cases. Would it
be better to add a pool flag causing automatic release of full pages
as they become available (not fragmented)? Jason Thorpe proposed this
and it seems more elegant than cleaning the _entire_ pool only upon
memory pressure.
Greg Oster did a lot of the work of figuring this out. Jason proposed
the use of pool_reclaim as a way to fix it.

From within the exiting process context:
* deactivate pmap and free vmspace while we can still block
* introduce MD cpu_lwp_free() - this cleans all MD-specific context (such
as FPU state), and is the last potentially blocking operation;
all of cpu_wait(), and most of cpu_exit(), is now folded into cpu_lwp_free()
* process is now immediatelly marked as zombie and made available for pickup
by parent; the remaining last lwp continues the exit as fully detached
* MI (rather than MD) code bumps uvmexp.swtch, cpu_exit() is now same
for both 'process' and 'lwp' exit
uvm_lwp_exit() is modified to never block; the u-area memory is now
always just linked to the list of available u-areas. Introduce (blocking)
uvm_uarea_drain(), which is called to release the excessive u-area memory;
this is called by parent within wait4(), or by pagedaemon on memory shortage.
uvm_uarea_free() is now private function within uvm_glue.c.

- invalidate sa_vp_ofaultaddr after resolving pagefault
virtual memory reservation and a private pool of memory pages -- by a scheme
based on memory pools.
This allows better utilization of memory because buffers can now be allocated
with a granularity finer than the system's native page size (useful for
filesystems with e.g. 1k or 2k fragment sizes). It also avoids fragmentation
of virtual to physical memory mappings (due to the former fixed virtual
address reservation) resulting in better utilization of MMU resources on some
platforms. Finally, the scheme is more flexible by allowing run-time decisions
on the amount of memory to be used for buffers.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the LRU queue for buffer recycling
may be somewhat reduced compared to the traditional method since, due to the
nature of the pool based memory allocation, the actual least recently used
buffer may release its memory to a pool different from the one needed by a
newly allocated buffer. However, this effect will kick in only if the
system is under memory pressure.

The softsignal feature is used in Darwin to trace processes. When the
traced process gets a signal, this raises an exception. The debugger will
receive the exception message, use ptrace with PT_THUPDATE to pass the
signal to the child or discard it, and then it will send a reply to the
exception message, to resume the child.
With the hook at the beginnng of kpsignal2, we are in the context of the
signal sender, which can be the kill(1) command, for instance. We cannot
afford to sleep until the debugger tells us if the signal should be
delivered or not.
Therefore, the hook to generate the Mach exception must be in the traced
process context. That was we can sleep awaiting for the debugger opinion
about the signal, this is not a problem. The hook is hence located into
issignal, at the place where normally SIGCHILD is sent to the debugger,
whereas the traced process is stopped. If the hook returns 0, we bypass
thoses operations, the Mach exception mecanism will take care of notifying
the debugger (through a Mach exception), and stop the faulting thread.
