93a56baf09 Moved the Area structure from the beginning of area to one page inside the
area. The first page is not mapped, so someone writing over the bounds of the
previous area will be axed immediately.

3aea1d4f53 * Added ObjectCache::alignment, the object alignment and used the alignment for
incrementing the cache color cycle. Using the fixed value (8) would
  potentially misalign the object again.
* Don't use CACHE_ALIGN_ON_SIZE for object caches any longer -- we have the
  alignment parameter anyway (the flag is still used for the MemoryManager,
  though).
* ObjectCache::InitSlab(): Slab coloring *was* done when CACHE_ALIGN_ON_SIZE
  was given, i.e. exactly the wrong way around. Also the cache_color_cycle
  computation was weird -- color 0 was used twice in a row.
* The "slabs" and "slab_cache" KDL commands also print the alignment, now.

b944766870 * Moved the vm_page initialization from vm_page.cpp:vm_page_init() to the new
vm_page::Init().
* Made vm_page::wired_count private and added accessor methods.
* Added VMCache::fWiredPagesCount (the number of wired pages the cache
  contains) and accessor methods.
* Made more use of vm_page::IsMapped().
* vm_copy_on_write_area(): Added vm_page_reservation* parameter that can be
  used to request a special handling for wired pages. If given the wired pages
  are replaced by copies and the original pages are moved to the upper cache.
* vm_copy_area():
  - We don't need to do any wired ranges handling, if the source area is a
    B_SHARED_AREA, since we don't touch the area's mappings in this case.
  - We no longer wait for wired ranges of the concerned areas to disappear.
    Instead we use the new vm_copy_on_write_area() feature and just let it
    copy the wired pages. This fixes #6288, an issue introduced with the use
    of user mutexes in libroot: When executing multiple concurrent fork()s all
    but the first one would wait on the fork mutex, which (being a user mutex)
    would wire a page that the vm_copy_area() of the first fork() would wait
    for.

after each chunk allocation/deallocation.
* The commands that dump chunks also verify, whether chunks that look free
  are in the free list.

fa04c15cde object_cache_low_memory(): Reduce the cache pressure indicator even for the
"note" low resource state. Not doing so could result in a very high limit for
the number of empty slabs, which wouldn't change until reaching the "warning"
state.
Fixes #5816.

a8ad734f1c * Introduced structures {virtual,physical}_address_restrictions, which specify
restrictions for virtual/physical addresses.
* vm_page_allocate_page_run():
  - Fixed conversion of base/limit to array indexes. sPhysicalPageOffset was not
    taken into account.
  - Takes a physical_address_restrictions instead of base/limit and also
    supports alignment and boundary restrictions, now.
* map_backing_store(), VM[User,Kernel]AddressSpace::InsertArea()/
  ReserveAddressRange() take a virtual_address_restrictions parameter, now. They
  also support an alignment independent from the range size.
* create_area_etc(), vm_create_anonymous_area(): Take
  {virtual,physical}_address_restrictions parameters, now.
* Removed no longer needed B_PHYSICAL_BASE_ADDRESS.
* DMAResources:
  - Fixed potential overflows of uint32 when initializing from device node
    attributes.
  - Fixed bounce buffer creation TODOs: By using create_area_etc() with the
    new restrictions parameters we can directly support physical high address,
    boundary, and alignment.

2a196c6349 exchange_with_empty() did not set the freeMagazine return value to NULL when
the maximum magazine count wasn't reached yet. With object_depot_store() not
resetting its local variable, a magazine could thus be emptied and freed
twice. Fixes #5489 and #5497.

1c164de7d2 * Quick&dirty fix of a race condition that caused an endless loop in
object_cache_alloc(): the ObjectCache::total_objects count was increased in
  ObjectCache::InitSlab(), but the slab was really only added at a later point
  between the cache could be unlocked.
* If a second object_cache_reserve_internal() managed to be called while the
  lock was unlocked, it would see that there has to be space available, and
  will then return -- however, since the other thread could not yet place the
  slab into the cache, object_cache_alloc() cannot find it.

ff59ce680d * The low resource handler now empties the cache depot's magazines; before,
they were never freed unless the cache was destroyed (I just wondered why
  my system would bury >1G in the magazines).
* Made the magazine capacity variable per cache, ie. for larger objects, it's
  not a good idea to have 64*CPU buffers lying around in the worst case.
* Furthermore, the create_object_cache_etc()/object_depot_init() now have
  arguments for the magazine capacity as well as the maximum number of full
  unused magazines.
* By default, you might want to initialize both to zero, as then some hopefully
  usable defaults are computed. Otherwise (the only current example is the
  vm_page_mapping cache) you can just put in the values you'd want there.
  The page mapping cache uses larger values, as its objects are usually
  allocated and deleted in larger chunks.
* Beware, though, I couldn't test these changes yet as Qemu didn't like to run
  today. I'll test these changes on another machine now.

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.

5726fbda3c MemoryManager:
* Does now keep one or two empty areas around, so that even in case of
  CACHE_DONT_LOCK_KERNEL_SPACE memory can be provided as long as pages are
  available. The object cache maintainer thread is used to asynchronously
  allocate/delete the free areas.
* Added new debugger commands "slab_meta_chunk[s]" and improved the existing
  ones.
* Moved Area::chunks to MetaChunk.
* Removed unused _AllocationArea() "chunkSize" parameter.
* Fixed serious bug in _FreeChunk(): Empty meta chunks were not removed from
  the partial chunk lists and could thus be used twice.

34bfbec297 low resource handler: Clear the maintenance_in_progress flag also when
adding the cache to the maintenance queue. Not so important but more correct.

c2d63cfa66 Reworked the object cache resizer (renamed to object cache maintainer) and
low resource handler functions. Particularly fixed the race conditions
between those and delete_object_cache().

10189b502d Changed the memory management algorithm: Instead of designating the area for
a certain chunk size, the areas are split into meta chunks (which are as
large as a large chunk) each of which can be a used independently for chunks
of a certain size. This reduces the vulnerablity to fragmentation, so that we
need fewer areas overall.

8d1316fd23 Replaced CACHE_DONT_SLEEP by two new flags CACHE_DONT_WAIT_FOR_MEMORY and
CACHE_DONT_LOCK_KERNEL_SPACE. If the former is given, the slab memory manager
does not wait when reserving memory or pages. The latter prevents area
operations. The new flags add a bit of flexibility. E.g. when allocating page
mapping objects for userland areas CACHE_DONT_WAIT_FOR_MEMORY is sufficient,
i.e. the allocation will succeed as long as pages are available.

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.

08d66c1288 Always unlock the object cache while allocating memory. This is necessary for
the CACHE_DONT_SLEEP flag to work for real, since otherwise the thread could
block on the mutex held by a thread allocating memory. We use two condition
variables to prevent multiple threads from allocating slabs at the same time.

8766b8b4b9 * Reverted r35203, i.e. ObjectCache::object_per_slab is gone again.
* Changed the semantics of object_cache_reserve_internal(). Now it makes sure
  the given number of objects are free. As a side effect this also changes
  the semantics of object_cache_reserve() similarly, though I have trouble
  seeing the purpose of the function in the first place.

453a2bdd18 Replaced the locking strategy (formerly a recursive lock for the depot and
one for each per CPU store):
* The depot is now protected by a R/W lock combined with a spinlock. It is
  required to either hold read lock + spinlock or just the write lock.
* When accessing the per CPU stores we only need to acquire the read lock
  and disable interrupts. When switching magazines with the depot we
  additionally get the spinlock.
* When allocating a new magazine we do completely unlock.
