- Make page free lists have two actual queues: known-zero pages and
pages with unknown contents.
- Implement uvm_pageidlezero(). This function attempts to zero up to
the target number of pages until the target has been reached (currently
target is `all free pages') or until whichqs becomes non-zero (indicating
that a process is ready to run).
- Define a new hook for the pmap module for pre-zero'ing pages. This is
used to zero the pages using uncached access. This allows us to zero
as many pages as we want without polluting the cache.
In order to use this feature, each platform must add the appropropriate
glue in their idle loop.
uvm_page_init() has completed, add a boolean uvm.page_init_done,
and test against that. Use this same boolean (rather than
pmap_initialized) in pmap_growkernel() to determine if we are
being called via uvm_page_init() to grow the kernel address space.
This fixes a problem on some i386 configurations where pmap_init()
itself was needing to have the kernel page table grown, and since
pmap_initialized was not yet set to TRUE, pmap_growkernel() was
choosing the wrong code path.
Fix tested by Havard Eidnes.
default free list, and 0 - N additional free list, in order of descending
priority.
A new page allocation function, uvm_pagealloc_strat(), has been added,
providing three page allocation strategies:
- normal: high -> low priority free list walk, taking the
page off the first free list that has one.
- only: attempt to allocate a page only from the specified free
list, failing if that free list has none available.
- fallback: if `only' fails, fall back on `normal'.
uvm_pagealloc(...) is provided for normal use (and is a synonym for
uvm_pagealloc_strat(..., UVM_PGA_STRAT_NORMAL, 0); the free list argument
is ignored for the `normal' case).
uvm_page_physload() now specified which free list the pages will be
loaded onto. This means that some platforms which have multiple physical
memory segments may define additional vm_physsegs if they wish to break
individual physical segments into differing priorities.
Machine-dependent code must define _at least_ the following constants
in <machine/vmparam.h>:
VM_NFREELIST: the number of free lists the system will have
VM_FREELIST_DEFAULT: the default freelist (should always be 0,
but is defined in machdep code so that it's with all of the
other free list-related constants).
Additional free list names may be defined by machine-dependent code, but
they will only be used by machine-dependent code (e.g. for loading the
vm_physsegs).
UVM was written by chuck cranor <chuck@maria.wustl.edu>, with some
minor portions derived from the old Mach code. i provided some help
getting swap and paging working, and other bug fixes/ideas. chuck
silvers <chuq@chuq.com> also provided some other fixes.
this is the UVM kernel code portion.
this will be KNF'd shortly. :-)
