create_area_etc().
* When the new flag CREATE_AREA_DONT_WAIT is specified, the functions
don't wait for memory or pages to become available. They fail
immediately instead.

of free objects an object cache should try to have ready. If the number
of free objects drops below the threshold, a new urgent priority thread
is asked to asynchronously resize the object cache (pretty similar to
the heap grower thread). Such a mechanism is necessary for code paths
that are supposed to free pages, but may need memory themselves (like
the swap support).

specifying the protection of each page (4 bits per page).
* Added no-op implementation of posix_madvise().
* Replaced a few "addr_t size" parameters by "size_t size".

introduces the following relevant changes:
* VMCache:
- Renamed vm_cache to VMCache, merged it with vm_store and made it a
C++ class with virtual methods (replacing the store operations).
Turned the different store implementations into subclasses.
- Introduced MergeStore() callback, changed semantics of Commit().
- Changed locking and referencing semantics. A reference can only be
acquired/released with the cache locked. An unreferenced cache is
deleted and a mergeable cache merged when it is unlocked. This
removes the "busy" state of a cache and simplifies the page fault
code.
* Added VMAnonymousCache, which will implement swap support (work by
Zhao Shuai). It is not integrated and used yet, though.
* Enabled the mutex/recursive lock holder asserts.
* Fixed DoublyLinkedList::Swap().
* Generalized the low memory handler to a low resource handler. And made
semaphores and reserved memory handled resources. Made
vm_try_resource_memory() optionally wait (with timeout), and used that
feature to reserve memory for areas.

This allows drivers to lock the memory outside of the original team context.
* create_area_etc() got a struct team as first argument, but that should have
been a team_id.
* Removed delete_area_etc() - there is already vm_delete_area() doing the same
thing.
* Renamed vm_get_address_space_by_id() to vm_get_address_space(), as there is
no other method of getting an address space.
* Removed erroneous white space.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@26455 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
vm_page_write_modified_pages(), save that it only writes pages in the
given range.
* Added vm_page_schedule_write_page_range() which schedules all modified
pages in the given cache's range for writing by the page writer.
* Added _kern_sync_memory() syscall and the msync() POSIX function.

to contain headers shared by kernel and userland (mainly libroot).
* Moved quite a few private kernel headers to the new location. Split
several kernel headers into a shared part and one that is still kernel
private. Adjusted all affected Jamfiles and source in the standard x86
build accordingly. The build for other architectures and for test code
may be broken.
* Quite a bit of userland code still includes private kernel headers.
Mostly those are <util/*> headers. The ones that aren't strictly
kernel-only should be moved to some other place (maybe
headers/private/shared/util).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25486 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
changes to the area (delete, resize, clone) from userland.

and defines the macros needed by them.
* Renamed syscall sys_vm_map_file() to _kern_map_file() and changed the
path to an FD parameter. Changed vm_map_file() accordingly and
adjusted the kernel ELF loader and the runtime loader.
* Added syscall _kern_unmap_memory().
* Added bool unmapAddressRange parameter to vm_create_anonymous_area()
and map_backing_store(). If true and the address specification is
B_EXACT_ADDRESS, all areas in the specified address range will be
deleted (unless an area is covered only partially).
* Introduced B_SHARED_AREA flag, which is set on areas that have been
created by {vm,_user}_map_file() with REGION_NO_PRIVATE_MAP. When
fork()ing those areas won't be copied CoW, but rather be cloned. This
is needed for mmap() MAP_SHARED.
* {vm,_user}_map_file() also accept an FD argument < 0, in which case an
anonymous area is created.
* Implemented mmap() and munmap(). Currently there's the restriction
that we can't partially unmap areas. Otherwise the functions should be
rather compliant. We also support the non-POSIX extension
MAP_ANONYMOUS.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24964 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Add a cached_pages field to the system_info structure, and change the
meaning of the used_pages field to not include cached pages.
* Provide the needed info using the new calls vm_get_available_memory(),
and vm_page_num_available_pages().

of the resolved ToDo, but could probably be made more efficient. Instead of
transfering the area, the area is cloned into the target teams' address space
and the original is deleted. This generates a new area_id for the transfered
area (as suggested by the ToDo). Updated syscall prototypes according to the
status_t to area_id return type change.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@24320 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
it intended to. That resulted in more writable pages where you wouldn't want
them (ie. allowing the area to change pages in lower caches).
* We were losing modified pages: vm_unmap_pages() sometimes has to preserve
the modified flag (eg. when called from page fault).
* Both of these were responsible that stealing active pages would crash
applications - even if less likely, this could also have happened when
stealing inactive pages. Therefore, I've activated stealing active pages
again.
* The page writer now pushes the pages of busy vnodes to the end of the queue,
so that it won't pick them up again too soon (the vnode destruction would
be in the process of writing those pages back, anyway).
* The page thief now triggers the page writer to run once it has to steal
active pages. This might be a bit too aggressive, though.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22495 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
the unmapped page.
* This is needed by everyone who calls this to make sure modifications to a
page aren't ignored. Namely, the page scanner and the page thief were
affected.
* Cleaned up locking the page's cache a bit in page_thief(); there is now
a helper class that takes care of everything.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22438 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* We now have a page writer that takes some pages from the modified queue
and writes it back every few seconds. It can be triggered by the page
scanner to do that more often, though. That mechanism can be greatly
improved once we have our I/O scheduler working.
* Removed vm_page_write_modified_page() again - it was all "eaten up" by
the page writer.
* Reworked vm_page_write_modified_pages() a bit: it now uses
vm_test_map_modification() and vm_clear_map_flags() instead of the
iterating over all areas which wouldn't even work correctly.
The code is much simpler now, too.
* You usually put something to the tail of a queue, and remove the contents
from the head, not vice versa - changed queue implementation to reflect this.
* Additionally, there is now a enqueue_page_to_head() if you actually want the
opposite.
* vm_page_requeue() allows you to move a page in a queue to the head or tail.
* Replaced vm_clear_map_activation() with vm_clear_map_flags() which allows
you to clear other flags than PAGE_ACCESSED.
* The page scanner dumps now some arguments with each run.
* Removed the old disabled pageout_daemon() from NewOS.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22348 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
arguments into vm.h.
* This should fix the broken build from earlier - thanks Stefano for the note!
* That also allowed to clean some other includes a bit.

to the private VM types are including vm_types.h now.
* Removed vm_page, vm_area, vm_cache, and vm_address_space typedefs; it's
cleaner this way, and the actual types are only used in C++ files now,
anyway.
* And that caused changes in many files...
* Made commpage.h self-containing.
* Minor cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22329 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Removed the vm_cache/vm_store ref_count duality that besides being a bit ugly
also created the page dameon cache retrieval problem: now, only areas (and
cache consumers) retrieve a reference to the store (and therefore, the vnode).
The page daemon doesn't need to care about this at all anymore, and the pseudo
references of the vm_cache could be removed again.
* Rearranged deletion of vnodes such that its ID can be reused directly after
fs_remove_vnode() has been called.
* vm_page_allocate_page() no longer panics when it runs out of pages, but just
waits for new pages to become available using the new sFreeCondition condition
variable - to make sure this happens in an acceptable time frame, it'll
trigger a run of the low memory handlers.
* Implemented a page_thief() that steals inactive pages from caches and puts
them into the free queue. It runs as a low memory handler.
* The file cache now sets the usage count on the pages it inserts into the
cache (needs some rework though, cache_io() doesn't do it yet).
* Instead of panicking, the kernel will currently dead lock in low memory
situations, since BFS does a bit too much in bfs_release_vnode().
* Some minor cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22315 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* The vm_translation_map is now correctly held in all of the vm_ mapping
functions.
* Removed the old vm_daemons.c file - there is now a new vm_daemons.cpp
which contains the beginnings of our new page daemon.
So far, it's pretty static and not much tested. What it currently does
is to rescan all pages in the system with a two-handed clock algorithm
and push pages into the modified and inactive lists.
* These inactive pages aren't really stolen yet, even though their mappings
are removed (ie. their next access will cause a page fault). This should
slow down Haiku a bit more, great, huh? :-)
* The page daemon currently only runs on low memory situations, though.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@22156 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Added a comment to vm_remove_all_page_mappings() that shows that we need to
change the mapping spinlock into a mutex.
* Pointed out some potential problems in the code.
* Added vm_page_at_index(), vm_clear_map_activation(), and vm_test_map_activation()
in preparation of the page scanner rewrite.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@20407 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
that points to both, the page and the area the page is in. This will allow a page
scanner to steal unused pages when necessary.
* The locking is currently done with a spinlock which we might want to have another
look at one day.
* dump_page() and dump_area_struct() now dump the page mappings as well.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@20356 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* vm_area and vm_page now have a new field "mappings" where they will store lists
of vm_page_mapping structures. vm_page::ref_count is gone, as it's no longer
needed (it was never updated correctly, anyway).
* vm_caches now have a type field, ie. CACHE_TYPE_RAM for anonymous areas - this
makes the stores a bit less independent, but is quite handy in several places.
* Added new vm_map_page() and vm_unmap_pages() functions to be used whenever you
map in or unmap pages into/from an area. They don't do much more than handling
vm_page::wired_count correctly right now, though (ie. B_LAZY_LOCK is now working
as expected as well).
* Moved the device fault handler to vm_map_physical_memory(); it was not really
used as a fault handler, anyway.
* Didn't notice Ingo's changes to the I/O space region broke lock_memory(). It
now checks the type of the area that contains the memory, and doesn't lock
anymore if not needed which solves the problem in a platform independent way.
* Implemented lock_memory() and unlock_memory() for real: they now change the
vm_page::wired_count member to identify pages that shouldn't be paged out.
* vm_area_for() now uses vm_area_lookup() internally.
* Fixed various potential overflow conditions with areas that reach 0xffffffff.
* Creating anonymous areas with B_FULL_LOCK no longer causes vm_soft_fault()
to be called, instead, the pages are allocated and mapped (via vm_map_page())
directly.
* Removed the _vm_ prefix for create_area_struct() and create_reserved_area_struct().
* Fixed a bug in vm_page_write_modified() that would not have enqueued pages that
failed to be written to the modified queue again when needed.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@20251 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Renamed them, made everything static besides vm_allocate_early() (previous
vm_alloc_from_kernel_args()) which now allows you to specify a different
virtual than physical size, and therefore makes vm_alloc_virtual_from_kernel_args()
superfluous (which isn't exported anymore, and is now called allocate_early_virtual()).
* Enabled printing a stack trace on serial output on team crash - it doesn't hurt
for now, anyway.
* Cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@20244 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* "sc"/"where"/"bt" now prints the area where the function of the stack frame
is located in case there is no other information (using the above function).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@19800 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
this saves 4 bytes per page. To compensate the loss of bytes, the offset is now
stored in page size units, that's enough to address 2^44 or 16 TB (which is now
the maximal supported file size!).
* Renamed vm_page::ppn to physical_page_number.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@15637 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
them apart (this even saves a pointer from vm_virtual_map to its address space)
* aspace -> address_space
* vm_create_address_space() did not check if creating the semaphore succeeded
* Removed team::kaspace - was not really needed (introduced a new vm_kernel_address_space()
function that doesn't grab a reference to the address space)
* Removed vm_address_space::name - it was just a copy of the team name, anyway,
and there is always only one address space per team
* Removed aspace_id - the address space is now using the team_id
* Some cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@15609 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
has not yet been tested, though - I'll do this after this commit):
* Removed the arch_memory_type stuff from vm_area; since there are only 8 memory
ranges on x86, it's simply overkill. The MTRR code now remembers the area ID
and finds the MTRR that way (it could also iterate over the existing MTRRs).
* Introduced some post_modules() init functions.
* If the other x86 CPUs out there don't differ a lot, MTRR functionality might
be put back into the kernel.
* x86_write_msr() was broken, it wrote the 64 bit number with the 32 bit words
switched - it took me some time (and lots of #GPs) to figure that one out.
* Removed the macro read_ebp() and introduced a function x86_read_ebp()
(it's not really a time critical call).
* Followed the Intel docs on how to change MTRRs (symmetrically on all CPUs
with caches turned off).
* Asking for memory types will automatically change the requested length to
a power of two - note that BeOS seems to behave in the same, although that's
not really very clean.
* fixed MTRRs are ignored for now - we should make sure at least, though,
that they are identical on all CPUs (or turn them off, even though I'd
prefer the BIOS stuff to be uncacheable, which we don't enforce yet, though).

following 1152 MB - that area only guarantees that the heap can grow this much before
the application need the memory for something else. And even then, the heap range
is reused from top-to-bottom, allowing for maximum heap usage. Of course, if the
memory after the heap range is not claimed yet, it can still be claimed by the heap,
too. Added new syscall to create the reserved range.
Fixed a bug in vm_delete_areas(): when it removed reserved areas, the area list
could get messed up.
Fixed a bug in resize_area(): resized areas could never be deleted (missing vm_put_area())!
resize_area() now supports reserved regions (but not perfectly yet, see ToDo items).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@12692 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
only if memory becomes tight, and then the range is used from end to
start.
This is useful to reserve heap address ranges.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@12675 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Renamed vm_area::lock to vm_area::protection to be less confusing - wiring
is still called wiring, though (might be renamed to lock later, as that's
how BeOS calls it).
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@9858 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
- the above file now also exports a function to finally complete the kernel's
address space translation map after semaphores became available (was just
not done before)
- renamed some functions, especially the *_init2() functions are now called
like *_init_post_area() to indicate they are called after the area functionality
became available
- removed the _struct suffix from certain structures
- fixed some return types
- added prototype for vm_free_unused_boot_loader_range() to be called by
arch code.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@9423 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
This cleans the page handling when having to make an area copy-on-write;
regions belong to vm_cache_ref, pages to vm_cache.
Added prototype for new call vm_copy_area().
Fixed some return types.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@9263 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Changed the way a vm_address_space is deleted: instead of having to explicitly
call vm_delete_aspace(), the last vm_put_aspace() will remove it.
