- Reorganize locking in UVM and provide extra serialisation for pmap(9).
New lock order: [vmpage-owner-lock] -> pmap-lock.
- Simplify locking in some pmap(9) modules by removing P->V locking.
- Use lock object on vmobjlock (and thus vnode_t::v_interlock) to share
the locks amongst UVM objects where necessary (tmpfs, layerfs, unionfs).
- Rewrite and optimise x86 TLB shootdown code, make it simpler and cleaner.
Add TLBSTATS option for x86 to collect statistics about TLB shootdowns.
- Unify /dev/mem et al in MI code and provide required locking (removes
kernel-lock on some ports). Also, avoid cache-aliasing issues.
Thanks to Andrew Doran and Joerg Sonnenberger, as their initial patches
formed the core changes of this branch.
on all platforms except VAX and IA64. Add fast access via register for
AMD64, i386 and SH3 ports. Use this fast access in libpthread to replace
the stack based pthread_self(). Implement skeleton support for Alpha,
HPPA, PowerPC, SPARC and SPARC64, but leave it disabled.
Ports that support this feature provide __HAVE____LWP_GETPRIVATE_FAST in
machine/types.h and a corresponding __lwp_getprivate_fast in
machine/mcontext.h.
This material is based upon work partially supported by
The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.
it's used only by pmap. vmparam.h has definitions for wider
audience.
All GENERIC kernels build tested, except ia64.
powerpc/include/booke/vmparam.h has one too, but it has no pmap.h,
so it's left as is.
Add MI flags PMAP_WRITE_COMBINE, PMAP_WRITE_BACK, PMAP_NOCACHE_OVR.
Update pmap(9) manpage.
hppa: Remove MD PMAP_NOCACHE flag as it exists as MI flag
mips: Rename MD PMAP_NOCACHE to PGC_NOCACHE.
x86: Implement new MI flags using Page-Attribute Tables.
x86: Implement BUS_SPACE_MAP_PREFETCHABLE.

2. unfortunately hppa's MB_LEN_MAX is defined incorrectly 6 instead of 32
so we have to add more setlocale(3) __RENAME func, __setlocale50.
3. move setlocale1.c and setlocale32.c to lib/libc/compat/locale/*
prepareing for next libc major crunk.
4. bump libc minor version.
- provide curcpu in a control register instead of curlwp
- define {GET,SET}_CURLWP and GET_CURCPU and use whereever possible.
- define a cpu count and use it in CPU_INFO_FOREACH
XXX hppa_ncpus isn't valid yet.
libc implementation (such as *BSD and glibc2).
2. don't typedef void * wc{type,trans}_t, suggested by soda@-san.
it may pass through compiler type check, it's harmful.
so i introduce dummy struct __tag_wc{type,trans}_t(iconv_t already does).
no ABI change was made.
most don't. Deal with non-equivalent aliases by removing and flushing the
managed mappings, and flushing the unmanaged mappings.
When flushing caches/TLB flush the cache before purging the TLB just in
case the flush enters the mapping into the TLB.
they're allocated in directly mapped memory to avoid aliasing problems
and unnecessary cache flushing.
Fix various names and references. If we ever directly map the uarea and
pcb we can change things at that point.
Significantly helps my J210 (PA7200).
Mostly from OpenBSD.
on the amount of physical memory and limited by NMBCLUSTERS if present.
Architectures without direct mapping also limit it based on the kmem_map
size, which is used as backing store. On i386 and ARM, the maximum KVA
used for mbuf clusters is limited to 64MB by default.
The old default limits and limits based on GATEWAY have been removed.
key_registered_sb_max is hard-wired to a value derived from 2048
clusters.
