4f774c503c * VMArea::Unwire(addr_t, size_t, bool): Don't delete the removed range, but
return it.
* lock_memory_etc(): On error the VMAreaWiredRange object could be leaked.
* [un]lock_memory_etc(): Call VMArea::Unwire() with the cache locked and
  explicitly delete the range object after unlocking the cache to avoid
  potential deadlocks.

369111e741 * Removed the VMArea::Wire() version that has to allocate a VMAreaWiredRange.
Since the requirement is that the area's top cache is locked, allocating
  memory isn't allowed.
* lock_memory_etc(): Create the VMAreaWiredRange object explicitly before
  locking the area's top cache.

Fixes #5680 (deadlocks when using the slab as malloc() backend).

550376ffb8 * vm_delete_areas(): Changed return type to void (was status_t and not used).
* _user_map_file(), _user_unmap_memory(): Verify that the address (if given) is
  page aligned.
* Reworked memory locking (wiring):
  - VMArea does now have a list of wired memory ranges and supports waiting for
    a range to be removed.
  - vm_soft_fault():
    - Added "wirePage" parameter that, if given, makes the function wire the
      page and return it.
    - Added "wiredRange" parameter (for calls from lock_memory_etc()) and made
      sure we never unmap wired pages. This could e.g. happen when a page from a
      lower cache was read-mapped and a write fault occurred. Now in such a
      situation the function waits for the page to be unwired and restarts.
  - All functions that manipulate areas in a way that could affect wired ranges
    do now either require the caller to make sure there are no wired ranges in
    the way or do that themselves. Added a few wait_if_*_is_wired() helper
    functions for that purpose.
  - lock_memory_etc():
    - Does now also work correctly when the range spans more than one area.
    - Adds VMAreaWiredRanges to the affected VMAreas and retains an address
      space reference (so that the address space won't be deleted as long as a
      wired range exists).
    - Resolved TODO: The area's caches are now locked when
      increment_page_wired_count() is called.
    - Resolved TODO: The race condition due to missing locking after looking up
      the page mapping is now prevented. We hold the cache locks (in case the
      page is already mapped) and the new vm_soft_fault() parameter allows us
      to get the page wired.
  - unlock_memory_etc(): Changes symmetrical to those in lock_memory_etc() and
    resolved all TODOs.

40bb94819e * Removed useless return parameter from vm_remove_all_page_mappings().
* Added vm_clear_page_mapping_accessed_flags() and
  vm_remove_all_page_mappings_if_unaccessed(), which combine the functionality
  of vm_test_map_activation(), vm_clear_map_flags(), and
  vm_remove_all_page_mappings(), thus saving lots of calls to translation map
  methods. The backend is the new method
  VMTranslationMap::ClearAccessedAndModified().
* Started to make use of the cached page queue and changed the meaning of the
  other non-free queues slightly:
  - Active queue: Contains mapped pages that have been used recently.
  - Inactive queue: Contains mapped pages that have not been used recently. Also
    contains unmapped temporary pages.
  - Modified queue: Contains unmapped modified pages.
  - Cached queue: Contains unmapped unmodified pages (LRU sorted).
  Unless we're actually low on memory and actively do paging, modified and
  cached queues only contain non-temporary pages. Cached pages are considered
  quasi free. They still belong to a cache, but since they are unmodified and
  unmapped, they can be freed immediately. And this is what
  vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages() do now when there are no more actually free
  pages at hand. Essentially this means that pages storing cached file data,
  unless mmap()ped, no longer are considered used and don't contribute to page
  pressure. Paging will not happen as long there are enough free + cached pages
  available.
* Reimplemented the page daemon. It no longer scans all pages, but instead works
  the page queues. As long as the free pages situation is harmless, it only
  iterates through the active queue and deactivates pages that have not been
  used recently. When paging occurs it additionally scans the inactive queue and
  frees pages that have not been used recently.
* Changed the page reservation/allocation interface:
  vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages(), vm_page_unreserve_pages(), and
  vm_page_allocate_page() now take a vm_page_reservation structure pointer.
  The reservation functions initialize the structure -- currently consisting
  only of a count member for the number of still reserved pages.
  vm_page_allocate_page() decrements the count and vm_page_unreserve_pages()
  unreserves the remaining pages (if any). Advantages are that reservation/
  unreservation mismatches cannot occur anymore, that vm_page_allocate_page()
  can verify that the caller has indeed a reserved page left, and that there's
  no unnecessary pressure on the free page pool anymore. The only disadvantage
  is that the vm_page_reservation object needs to be passed around a bit.
* Reworked the page reservation implementation:
  - Got rid of sSystemReservedPages and sPageDeficit. Instead
    sUnreservedFreePages now actually contains the number of free pages that
    have not yet been reserved (it cannot become negative anymore) and the new
    sUnsatisfiedPageReservations contains the number of pages that are still
    needed for reservation.
  - Threads waiting for reservations do now add themselves to a waiter queue,
    which is ordered by descending priority (VM priority and thread priority).
    High priority waiters are served first when pages become available.
  Fixes #5328.
* cache_prefetch_vnode(): Would reserve one less page than allocated later, if
  the size wasn't page aligned.

e65c400299 * Replaced the vm_page_allocate_page*() "pageState" parameter by a more
general "flags" parameter. It encodes the target state of the page -- so
  that the page isn't unnecessarily put in the wrong page queue first -- a
  flag whether the page should be cleared, and one to indicate whether the
  page should be marked busy.
* Added page state PAGE_STATE_CACHED. Not used yet.

72382fa629 * Removed the page state PAGE_STATE_BUSY and instead introduced a vm_page::busy
flag. The obvious advantage is that one can still see what state a page is in
  and even move it between states while being marked busy.
* Removed the vm_page::is_dummy flag. Instead we mark marker pages busy, which
  in all cases has the same effect. Introduced a vm_page_is_dummy() that can
  still check whether a given page is a dummy page.
* vm_page_unreserve_pages(): Before adding to the system reserve make sure
  sUnreservedFreePages is non-negative. Otherwise we'd make nonexisting pages
  available for allocation. steal_pages() still has the same problem and it
  can't be solved that easily.
* map_page(): No longer changes the page state/mark the page unbusy. That's the
  caller's responsibility.

deee8524b7 * Introduced {malloc,memalign,free}_etc() which take an additional "flags"
argument. They replace the previous special-purpose allocation functions
  (malloc_nogrow(), vip_io_request_malloc()).
* Moved the I/O VIP heap to heap.cpp accordingly.
* Added quite a bit of passing around of allocation flags in the VM,
  particularly in the VM*AddressSpace classes.
* Fixed IOBuffer::GetNextVirtualVec(): It was ignoring the VIP flag and always
  allocated on the normal heap.

cff6e9e406 * The system now holds back a small reserve of committable memory and pages. The
memory and page reservation functions have a new "priority" parameter that
  indicates how deep the function may tap into that reserve. The currently
  existing priority levels are "user", "system", and "VIP". The idea is that
  user programs should never be able to cause a state that gets the kernel into
  trouble due to heavy battling for memory. The "VIP" level (not really used
  yet) is intended for allocations that are required to free memory eventually
  (in the page writer). More levels are thinkable in the future, like "user real
  time" or "user system server".
* Added "priority" parameters to several VMCache methods.
* Replaced the map_backing_store() "unmapAddressRange" parameter by a "flags"
  parameter.
* Added area creation flag CREATE_AREA_PRIORITY_VIP and slab allocator flag
  CACHE_PRIORITY_VIP indicating the importance of the request.
* Changed most code to pass the right priorities/flags.

These changes already significantly improve the behavior in low memory
situations. I've tested a bit with 64 MB (virtual) RAM and, while not
particularly fast and responsive, the system remains at least usable under high
memory pressure.
As a side effect the slab allocator can now be used as general memory allocator.
Not done by default yet, though.

b4e5e49823 MemoryManager:
* Added support to do larger raw allocations (up to one large chunk (128 pages))
  in the slab areas. For an even larger allocation an area is created (haven't
  seen that happen yet, though).
* Added kernel tracing (SLAB_MEMORY_MANAGER_TRACING).
* _FreeArea(): Copy and paste bug: The meta chunks of the to be freed area
  would be added to the free lists instead of being removed from them. This
  would corrupt the lists and also lead to all kinds of misuse of meta chunks.

object caches:
* Implemented CACHE_ALIGN_ON_SIZE. It is no longer set for all small object
  caches, but the block allocator sets it on all power of two size caches.
* object_cache_reserve_internal(): Detect recursion and don't wait in such a
  case. The function could deadlock itself, since
  HashedObjectCache::CreateSlab() does allocate memory, thus potentially
  reentering.
* object_cache_low_memory():
  - I missed some returns when reworking that one in r35254, so the function
    might stop early and also leave the cache in maintenance mode, which would
    cause it to be ignored by object cache resizer and low memory handler from
    that point on.
  - Since ReturnSlab() potentially unlocks, the conditions weren't quite correct
    and too many slabs could be freed.
  - Simplified things a bit.
* object_cache_alloc(): Since object_cache_reserve_internal() does potentially
  unlock the cache, the situation might have changed and their might not be an
  empty slab available, but a partial one. The function would crash.
* Renamed the object cache tracing variable to SLAB_OBJECT_CACHE_TRACING.
* Renamed debugger command "cache_info" to "slab_cache" to avoid confusion with
  the VMCache commands.
* ObjectCache::usage was not maintained anymore since I introduced the
  MemoryManager. object_cache_get_usage() would thus always return 0 and the
  block cache would not be considered cached memory. This was only of
  informational relevance, though.

slab allocator misc.:
* Disable the object depots of block allocator caches for object sizes > 2 KB.
  Allocations of those sizes aren't so common that the object depots yield any
  benefit.
* The slab allocator is now fully self-sufficient. It allocates its bootstrap
  memory from the MemoryManager, and the hash tables for HashedObjectCaches use
  the block allocator instead of the heap, now.
* Added option to use the slab allocator for malloc() and friends
  (USE_SLAB_ALLOCATOR_FOR_MALLOC). Currently disabled. Works in principle and
  has virtually no lock contention. Handling for low memory situations is yet
  missing, though.
* Improved the output of some debugger commands.

86c794e5c1 slab allocator:
* Implemented a more elaborated raw memory allocation backend (MemoryManager).
  We allocate 8 MB areas whose pages we allocate and map when needed. An area is
  divided into equally-sized chunks which form the basic units of allocation. We
  have areas with three possible chunk sizes (small, medium, large), which is
  basically what the ObjectCache implementations were using anyway.
* Added "uint32 flags" parameter to several of the slab allocator's object
  cache and object depot functions. E.g. object_depot_store() potentially wants
  to allocate memory for a magazine. But also in pure freeing functions it
  might eventually become useful to have those flags, since they could end up
  deleting an area, which might not be allowable in all situations. We should
  introduce specific flags to indicate that.
* Reworked the block allocator. Since the MemoryManager allocates block-aligned
  areas, maintains a hash table for lookup, and maps chunks to object caches,
  we can quickly find out which object cache a to be freed allocation belongs
  to and thus don't need the boundary tags anymore.
* Reworked the slab boot strap process. We allocate from the initial area only
  when really necessary, i.e. when the object cache for the respective
  allocation size has not been created yet. A single page is thus sufficient.

other:
* vm_allocate_early(): Added boolean "blockAlign" parameter. If true, the
  semantics is the same as for B_ANY_KERNEL_BLOCK_ADDRESS.
* Use an object cache for page mappings. This significantly reduces the
  contention on the heap bin locks.

6379e53e2d vm_page no longer points directly to its containing cache, but rather to a
VMCacheRef object which points to the cache. This allows to optimize
VMCache::MoveAllPages(), since it no longer needs to iterate over all pages
to adjust their cache pointer. It can simple swap the cache refs of the two
caches instead.

Reduces the total -j8 Haiku image build time only marginally. The kernel time
drops almost 10%, though.

3632eeedb9 * VMCache: Added a UserData attribute which can be used by the lock holder.
* Added "bool consumerLocked" parameter to VMCache::Unlock() and
  ReleaseRefAndUnlock(). Since Unlock() may cause the cache to be merged with
  a consumer cache, the flag is needed to prevent a deadlock in case the
  caller still holds a lock to the consumer. Hasn't been a problem yet, since
  that situation never occurred.
* VMCacheChainLocker: Reversed unlocking order to bottom-up. The other
  direction could cause a deadlock in case caches would be merged, since the
  locking order would be reversed. The way VMCacheChainLocker was used this
  didn't happen, though.
* fault_get_page(): While copying a page from a lower cache to the top cache,
  we do now unlock all caches but the top one, so we don't unnecessarily
  kill concurrency.

f082f7f019 * Added vm_page::accessed flag. Works analogously to vm_page::modified.
* Reorganized the code for [un]mapping pages:
  - Added new VMTranslationMap::Unmap{Area,Page[s]}() which essentially do what
    vm_unmap_page[s]() did before, just in the architecture specific code, which
    allows for specific optimizations. UnmapArea() is for the special case that
    the complete area is unmapped. Particularly in case the address space is
    deleted, some work can be saved. Several TODOs could be slain.
  - Since they are only used within vm.cpp vm_map_page() and vm_unmap_page[s]()
    are now static and have lost their prefix (and the "preserveModified"
    parameter).
* Added VMTranslationMap::Protect{Page,Area}(). They are just inline wrappers
  for Protect().
* X86VMTranslationMap::Protect(): Make sure not to accidentally clear the
  accessed/dirty flags.
* X86VMTranslationMap::Unmap()/Protect(): Make page table skipping actually
  work. It was only skipping to the next page.
* Adjusted the PPC code to at least compile.

No measurable effect for the -j8 Haiku image build time, though the kernel time
drops minimally.

bcc2c157a1 Refactored vm_translation_map:
* Pulled the physical page mapping functions out of vm_translation_map into
  a new interface VMPhysicalPageMapper.
* Renamed vm_translation_map to VMTranslationMap and made it a proper C++
  class. The functions in the operations vector have become methods.
* Added class GenericVMPhysicalPageMapper implementing VMPhysicalPageMapper
  as far as possible (without actually writing new code).
* Adjusted the x86 and the PPC specifics accordingly (untested for the
  latter). For the other architectures the build is, I'm afraid, seriously
  broken.

The next steps will modify and extend the VMTranslationMap interface, so that
it will be possible to fix the bugs in vm_unmap_page[s]() and employ
architecture specific optimizations.

3cd2094396 * Added new debug feature (DEBUG_PAGE_ACCESS) to detect invalid concurrent
access to a vm_page. It is basically an atomically accessed thread ID field
  in the vm_page structure, which is explicitly set by macros marking the
  critical sections. As a first positive effect I had to review quite a bit of
  code and found several issues.
* Added several TODOs and comments. Some harmless ones, but also a few
  troublesome ones in vm.cpp regarding page unmapping.
* file_cache: PrecacheIO::Prepare()/read_into_cache: Removed superfluous
  vm_page_allocate_page() return value checks. It cannot fail anymore.
* Removed the heavily contended "pages" lock. We use different policies now:
  - sModifiedTemporaryPages is accessed atomically.
  - sPageDeficitLock and sFreePageCondition are protected by a new mutex.
  - The page queues have individual locks (mutexes).
  - Renamed set_page_state_nolock() to set_page_state(). Unless the caller says
    otherwise, it does now lock the affected pages queues itself. Also changed
    the return value to void -- we panic() anyway.
* set_page_state(): Add free/clear pages to the beginning of their respective
  queues as this is more cache-friendly.
* Pages with the states PAGE_STATE_WIRED or PAGE_STATE_UNUSED are no longer
  in any queue. They were in the "active" queue, but there's no good reason
  to have them there. In case we decide to let the page daemon work the queues
  (like FreeBSD) they would just be in the way.
* Pulled the common part of vm_page_allocate_page_run[_no_base]() into a helper
  function. Also fixed a bug I introduced previously: The functions must not
  vm_page_unreserve_pages() on success, since they remove the pages from the
  free/clear queue without decrementing sUnreservedFreePages.
* vm_page_set_state(): Changed return type to void. The function cannot really
  fail and no-one was checking it anyway.
* vm_page_free(), vm_page_set_state(): Added assertion: The page must not be
  free/clear before. This is implied by the policy that no-one is allowed to
  access free/clear pages without holding the respective queue's lock, which is
  not the case at this point. This found the bug fixed in r34912.
* vm_page_requeue(): Added general assertions. panic() when requeuing of
  free/clear pages is requested. Same reason as above.
* vm_clone_area(), B_FULL_LOCK case: Don't map busy pages. The implementation is
  still not correct, though.

My usual -j8 Haiku build test runs another 10% faster, now. The total kernel
time drops about 18%. As hoped the new locks have only a fraction of the old
"pages" lock contention. Other locks lead the "most wanted list" now.

eb8dc1ebfb * Removed DEBUG_PAGE_CACHE_TRANSITIONS debugging.
* Added VMCache::MovePage() and MoveAllPages() to move pages between caches.
* VMAnonymousCache:
  - _MergeSwapPages(): Avoid doing anything, if neither cache has swapped out
    pages.
  - _MergeSwapPages() does now also remove source cache pages that are
    shadowed by consumer swap pages. This allows us to call _MergeSwapPages()
    before _MergePagesSmallerSource(), save the swap page shadowing check
    there and get rid of the vm_page::merge_swap flag. This is an
    optimization based on the assumption that usually none or only few pages
    are swapped out, so we save a lot of checks.
  - Implemented _MergePagesSmallerConsumer() as an alternative to
    _MergePagesSmallerSource(). The former is used when the source cache has
    more pages than the consumer cache. It iterates over the consumer cache's
    pages, moves them to the source and finally moves all pages back to the
    consumer. The final move is relatively cheap (though unfortunately we
    still have to update all pages' vm_page::cache field), so that overall we
    save iterations of the main loop with the more expensive checks.

The optimizations particularly improve the common fork()+exec*() situations.
fork() uses CoW, which is implemented by putting two new empty caches between
the to be copied area and its cache. exec*() destroys one copy of the area,
its cache and thus causes merging of the other new cache with the old cache.
Since this usually happens in a very short time, the old cache does still
contain many pages and the new cache only few. Previously the many pages were
all checked and moved individually. Now we do that for the few pages instead.

A very extreme example of this situation is the Haiku image build. jam has a
huge heap (> 200 MB) and it fork()s+exec*()s for every action to be executed.
Since during the cache merging the cache is locked, any write access to a
heap page causes jam to block until the cache merging is done. Formerly that
took so long that it killed a lot of parallelism in multi-job builds. That
could be observed particularly well when lots of small actions where executed
(like the Link, XRes, Mimeset, SetType, SetVersion combos when building
executables/libraries/add-ons). Those look dramatically better now.
The overall speed improvement for a -j8 image build on my machine is only
about 15%, though.

2e74d74f4f * Added method VMCache::TransferAreas() moving areas from one cache to
another. The code originates from vm_copy_on_write_area(). We now generate
  the VM cache tracing entries, though.
* count_writable_areas() -> VMCache::CountWritableAreas()
* Added debugger command "cache_stack" which is enabled when VM cache tracing
  is enabled. It prints the source caches of a given cache or area at the
  time of a specified tracing entry.

522c2f19d4 * Added a simple mechanism to wait for events to VMCache. WaitForPageEvents()
waits for certain events on a given page, NotifyPageEvents() wakes up
  waiting threads respectively.
* Used the new feature instead of condition variables for waiting on busy
  pages. We save publishing and unpublishing of a condition variable whenever
  a page is marked busy. There's only something to do, if there's at least
  one thread waiting in the list of the respective cache. The general
  assumption is that this is only rarely the case and even if it happens,
  there should be only very few threads.
* Added an apparently missing notification in cache_io(). At least I didn't
  see the reason for it not being there.

40cd019ea0 * Renamed VMAddressSpace::ResizeArea{Head,Tail}() to ShrinkArea{Head,Tail}()
to clarify that they never enlarge the area.
* Reimplemented VMKernelAddressSpace. It is somewhat inspired by Bonwick's
  vmem resource allocator (though we have different requirements):
  - We consider the complete address space to be divided into contiguous
    ranges of type free, reserved, or area, each range being represented by
    a VMKernelAddressRange object.
  - The range objects are managed in an AVL tree and a doubly linked list
    (the latter only for faster iteration) sorted by address. This provides
    O(log(n)) lookup, insertion and removal.
  - For each power of two size we maintain a list of free ranges of at least
    that size. Thus for the most common case of B_ANY*_ADDRESS area
    allocation, we find a free range in constant time (the rest of the
    processing being O(log(n))) with a rather good fit. This should also
    help avoiding address space fragmentation.
  While the new implementation should be faster, particularly with an
  increasing number of areas, I couldn't measure any difference in the -j2
  haiku build. From a cursory test the -j8 build hasn't tangibly benefitted
  either.

f69032f22b * Added VMAddressSpace::ResizeArea{Head,Tail}() to adjust an area's base
and size.
* Made VMArea::Set{Base,Size}() private and made VMAddressSpace a friend.
  In vm.cpp the new VMAddressSpace::ResizeArea{Head,Tail}() are used
  instead.
Finally all address space changes happen in VMAddressSpace only. *phew*
Now it's ready to be thoroughly butchered. :-)

35d940014e * Changed the address space area list to doubly linked. The reason is to
simplify migration of the area management, but as a side effect, it also
  makes area deletion O(1) (instead of O(n), n == number of areas in the
  address space).
* Moved more area management functionality from vm.cpp to VMAddressSpace and
  VMArea structure creation to VMArea. Made the list and list link members
  itself private.
* VMAddressSpace tracks its amount of free space, now. This also replaces
  the previous mechanism to do that only for the kernel address space. It
  was broken anyway, since delete_area() subtracted the area size instead of
  adding it.
* vm_free_unused_boot_loader_range():
  - lastEnd could be set to a value < start, which could cause memory
    outside of the given range to be unmapped. Haven't checked whether this
    could happen in practice -- if so, it would be seriously unhealthy.
  - The range between the end of the last area in the range and the end of
    the range would never be freed.
  - Fixed potential integer overflows when computing addresses.
