NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

(applicable to all filesystems) THIS FIX TEMPORARILY DISABLED PENDING FURTHER TESTING. see vm/vm_page.c line 1641 * The straddle case for VM pages and buffer cache buffers when truncating. (applicable to NFS client side) * Possible SMP database corruption due to vm_pager_unmap_page() not clearing the TLB for the other cpu's. (applicable to NFS client side but could effect all filesystems). Note: not considered serious since the corruption occurs beyond the file EOF. * When flusing a dirty buffer due to B_CACHE getting cleared, we were accidently setting B_CACHE again (that is, bwrite() sets B_CACHE), when we really want it to stay clear after the write is complete. This resulted in a corrupt buffer. (applicable to all filesystems but probably only triggered by NFS) * We have to call vtruncbuf() when ftruncate()ing to remove any buffer cache buffers. This is still tentitive, I may be able to remove it due to the second bug fix. (applicable to NFS client side) * vnode_pager_setsize() race against nfs_vinvalbuf()... we have to set n_size before calling nfs_vinvalbuf or the NFS code may recursively vnode_pager_setsize() to the original value before the truncate. This is what was causing the user mmap bus faults in the nfs tester program. (applicable to NFS client side) * Fix to softupdates (see ufs/ffs/ffs_inode.c 1.73, commit made by Kirk).

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code. These problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances. Most of the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke the vfs.ioopt code. This code might have been committed seperately, but almost everything is interrelated. 1) Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that are fully valid. 2) Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in kern_exec, we now free them. 3) Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent (missing vp) state. 4) Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse. The previous code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances. 5) Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release. 6) Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK files in vfs_bio_awrite. When the code is functional, I'll add back a cleaner version. 7) The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me. Revert to the original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation. 8) The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed. 9) Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE. The delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the length of the time intervals. 10) Correct and clean-up spec_getpages. 11) Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages. 12) Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.) 13) Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS. 14) Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from vm_map_clean. 15) Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that fewer in-transit waits occur. (use p->busy more for pageouts instead of PG_BUSY.) Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for reads. 16) It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy. Make the page allocation code handle that case correctly. (It should probably be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors robustly. I'll probably add a printf.) 17) Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep. It didn't handle consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less lofty. After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and verify it's status (always.) 18) In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up. 19) Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush. 20) Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache.

This mega-commit is meant to fix numerous interrelated problems. There has been some bitrot and incorrect assumptions in the vfs_bio code. These problems have manifest themselves worse on NFS type filesystems, but can still affect local filesystems under certain circumstances. Most of the problems have involved mmap consistancy, and as a side-effect broke the vfs.ioopt code. This code might have been committed seperately, but almost everything is interrelated. 1) Allow (pmap_object_init_pt) prefaulting of buffer-busy pages that are fully valid. 2) Rather than deactivating erroneously read initial (header) pages in kern_exec, we now free them. 3) Fix the rundown of non-VMIO buffers that are in an inconsistent (missing vp) state. 4) Fix the disassociation of pages from buffers in brelse. The previous code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances. 5) Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release. 6) Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK files in vfs_bio_awrite. When the code is functional, I'll add back a cleaner version. 7) The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me. Revert to the original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation. 8) The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed. 9) Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE. The delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the length of the time intervals. 10) Correct and clean-up spec_getpages. 11) Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages. 12) Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.) 13) Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS. 14) Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from vm_map_clean. 15) Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that fewer in-transit waits occur. (use p->busy more for pageouts instead of PG_BUSY.) Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for reads. 16) It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy. Make the page allocation code handle that case correctly. (It should probably be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors robustly. I'll probably add a printf.) 17) Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep. It didn't handle consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less lofty. After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and verify it's status (always.) 18) In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up. 19) Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush. 20) Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.

(use p->busy more for pageouts instead of PG_BUSY.) Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for reads. 16) It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy. Make the page allocation code handle that case correctly. (It should probably be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors robustly. I'll probably add a printf.) 17) Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep. It didn't handle consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less lofty. After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and verify it's status (always.) 18) In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up. 19) Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush. 20) Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.

The VFS/BIO subsystem contained a number of hacks in order to optimize piecemeal, middle-of-file writes for NFS. These hacks have caused no end of trouble, especially when combined with mmap(). I've removed them. Instead, NFS will issue a read-before-write to fully instantiate the struct buf containing the write. NFS does, however, optimize piecemeal appends to files. For most common file operations, you will not notice the difference. The sole remaining fragment in the VFS/BIO system is b_dirtyoff/end, which NFS uses to avoid cache coherency issues with read-merge-write style operations. NFS also optimizes the write-covers-entire-buffer case by avoiding the read-before-write. There is quite a bit of room for further optimization in these areas. The VM system marks pages fully-valid (AKA vm_page_t->valid = VM_PAGE_BITS_ALL) in several places, most noteably in vm_fault. This is not correct operation. The vm_pager_get_pages() code is now responsible for marking VM pages all-valid. A number of VM helper routines have been added to aid in zeroing-out the invalid portions of a VM page prior to the page being marked all-valid. This operation is necessary to properly support mmap(). The zeroing occurs most often when dealing with file-EOF situations. Several bugs have been fixed in the NFS subsystem, including bits handling file and directory EOF situations and buf->b_flags consistancy issues relating to clearing B_ERROR & B_INVAL, and handling B_DONE. getblk() and allocbuf() have been rewritten. B_CACHE operation is now formally defined in comments and more straightforward in implementation. B_CACHE for VMIO buffers is based on the validity of the backing store. B_CACHE for non-VMIO buffers is based simply on whether the buffer is B_INVAL or not (B_CACHE set if B_INVAL clear, and vise-versa). biodone() is now responsible for setting B_CACHE when a successful read completes. B_CACHE is also set when a bdwrite() is initiated and when a bwrite() is initiated. VFS VOP_BWRITE routines (there are only two - nfs_bwrite() and bwrite()) are now expected to set B_CACHE. This means that bowrite() and bawrite() also set B_CACHE indirectly. There are a number of places in the code which were previously using buf->b_bufsize (which is DEV_BSIZE aligned) when they should have been using buf->b_bcount. These have been fixed. getblk() now clears B_DONE on return because the rest of the system is so bad about dealing with B_DONE. Major fixes to NFS/TCP have been made. A server-side bug could cause requests to be lost by the server due to nfs_realign() overwriting other rpc's in the same TCP mbuf chain. The server's kernel must be recompiled to get the benefit of the fixes. Submitted by: Matthew Dillon <dillon@apollo.backplane.com>

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

The previous code had rotted and was faulty in a couple of important circumstances. 5) Remove a gratuitious buffer wakeup in vfs_vmio_release. 6) Remove a crufty and currently unused cluster mechanism for VBLK files in vfs_bio_awrite. When the code is functional, I'll add back a cleaner version. 7) The page busy count wakeups assocated with the buffer cache usage were incorrectly cleaned up in a previous commit by me. Revert to the original, correct version, but with a cleaner implementation. 8) The cluster read code now tries to keep data associated with buffers more aggressively (without breaking the heuristics) when it is presumed that the read data (buffers) will be soon needed. 9) Change to filesystem lockmgr locks so that they use LK_NOPAUSE. The delay loop waiting is not useful for filesystem locks, due to the length of the time intervals. 10) Correct and clean-up spec_getpages. 11) Implement a fully functional nfs_getpages, nfs_putpages. 12) Fix nfs_write so that modifications are coherent with the NFS data on the server disk (at least as well as NFS seems to allow.) 13) Properly support MS_INVALIDATE on NFS. 14) Properly pass down MS_INVALIDATE to lower levels of the VM code from vm_map_clean. 15) Better support the notion of pages being busy but valid, so that fewer in-transit waits occur. (use p->busy more for pageouts instead of PG_BUSY.) Since the page is fully valid, it is still usable for reads. 16) It is possible (in error) for cached pages to be busy. Make the page allocation code handle that case correctly. (It should probably be a printf or panic, but I want the system to handle coding errors robustly. I'll probably add a printf.) 17) Correct the design and usage of vm_page_sleep. It didn't handle consistancy problems very well, so make the design a little less lofty. After vm_page_sleep, if it ever blocked, it is still important to relookup the page (if the object generation count changed), and verify it's status (always.) 18) In vm_pageout.c, vm_pageout_clean had rotted, so clean that up. 19) Push the page busy for writes and VM_PROT_READ into vm_pageout_flush. 20) Fix vm_pager_put_pages and it's descendents to support an int flag instead of a boolean, so that we can pass down the invalidate bit.

These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache, much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D. The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson. The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are (mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to support the new VM/buffer scheme. vfs_bio.c: Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write clustering. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff. vm_object.c: Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that can cause list corruption. vm_pageout.c: Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements" broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up. vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme. pmap.c vm_map.c Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of kernel PTs. vm_glue.c Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping. proc.h Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork. swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the code doesn't need it anymore. machdep.c Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache scheme. machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems that previously existed. ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on busy buffers. Submitted by: John Dyson and David Greenman

* If the page-aligned write is larger then the actual file we

* With the page locked we are free to fix-up the dirty bits here.
This fixes a large number of bugs in our NFS client side code. A recent commit by Kirk also fixed a softupdates bug that could easily be triggered by server side NFS. * An edge case with shared R+W mmap()'s and truncate whereby the system would inappropriately clear the dirty bits on still-dirty data. (applicable to all filesystems) THIS FIX TEMPORARILY DISABLED PENDING FURTHER TESTING. see vm/vm_page.c line 1641 * The straddle case for VM pages and buffer cache buffers when truncating. (applicable to NFS client side) * Possible SMP database corruption due to vm_pager_unmap_page() not clearing the TLB for the other cpu's. (applicable to NFS client side but could effect all filesystems). Note: not considered serious since the corruption occurs beyond the file EOF. * When flusing a dirty buffer due to B_CACHE getting cleared, we were accidently setting B_CACHE again (that is, bwrite() sets B_CACHE), when we really want it to stay clear after the write is complete. This resulted in a corrupt buffer. (applicable to all filesystems but probably only triggered by NFS) * We have to call vtruncbuf() when ftruncate()ing to remove any buffer cache buffers. This is still tentitive, I may be able to remove it due to the second bug fix. (applicable to NFS client side) * vnode_pager_setsize() race against nfs_vinvalbuf()... we have to set n_size before calling nfs_vinvalbuf or the NFS code may recursively vnode_pager_setsize() to the original value before the truncate.

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability. (As were most all of these changes) TODO: 1) Rewrite most of the vnode pager to use VOP_GETPAGES/PUTPAGES. Doing this will reduce the vnode pager to a mere fraction of its current size. 2) Rewrite vm_fault and the swap/vnode pagers to use the clustering information provided by the new haspage pager interface. This will substantially reduce the overhead by eliminating a large number of VOP_BMAP() calls. The VOP_BMAP() filesystem interface should be improved to provide both a "behind" and "ahead" indication of contiguousness. 3) Implement the extended features of pager_haspage in swap_pager_haspage(). It currently just says 0 pages ahead/behind. 4) Re-implement the swap device (swstrategy) in a more elegant way, perhaps via a much more general mechanism that could also be used for disk striping of regular filesystems. 5) Do something to improve the architecture of vm_object_collapse(). The fact that it makes calls into the swap pager and knows too much about how the swap pager operates really bothers me. It also doesn't allow for collapsing of non-swap pager objects ("unnamed" objects backed by other pagers).

Some VM improvements, including elimination of alot of Sig-11 problems. Tor Egge and others have helped with various VM bugs lately, but don't blame him -- blame me!!! pmap.c: 1) Create an object for kernel page table allocations. This fixes a bogus allocation method previously used for such, by grabbing pages from the kernel object, using bogus pindexes. (This was a code cleanup, and perhaps a minor system stability issue.) pmap.c: 2) Pre-set the modify and accessed bits when prudent. This will decrease bus traffic under certain circumstances. vfs_bio.c, vfs_cluster.c: 3) Rather than calculating the beginning virtual byte offset multiple times, stick the offset into the buffer header, so that the calculated offset can be reused. (Long long multiplies are often expensive, and this is a probably unmeasurable performance improvement, and code cleanup.) vfs_bio.c: 4) Handle write recursion more intelligently (but not perfectly) so that it is less likely to cause a system panic, and is also much more robust. vfs_bio.c: 5) getblk incorrectly wrote out blocks that are incorrectly sized. The problem is fixed, and writes blocks out ONLY when B_DELWRI is true. vfs_bio.c: 6) Check that already constituted buffers have fully valid pages. If not, then make sure that the B_CACHE bit is not set. (This was a major source of Sig-11 type problems.) vfs_bio.c: 7) Fix a potential system deadlock due to an incorrectly specified sleep priority while waiting for a buffer write operation. The change that I made opens the system up to serious problems, and we need to examine the issue of process sleep priorities. vfs_cluster.c, vfs_bio.c: 8) Make clustered reads work more correctly (and more completely) when buffers are already constituted, but not fully valid. (This was another system reliability issue.) vfs_subr.c, ffs_inode.c: 9) Create a vtruncbuf function, which is used by filesystems that can truncate files. The vinvalbuf forced a file sync type operation, while vtruncbuf only invalidates the buffers past the new end of file, and also invalidates the appropriate pages. (This was a system reliabiliy and performance issue.) 10) Modify FFS to use vtruncbuf. vm_object.c: 11) Make the object rundown mechanism for OBJT_VNODE type objects work more correctly. Included in that fix, create pager entries for the OBJT_DEAD pager type, so that paging requests that might slip in during race conditions are properly handled. (This was a system reliability issue.) vm_page.c: 12) Make some of the page validation routines be a little less picky about arguments passed to them. Also, support page invalidation change the object generation count so that we handle generation counts a little more robustly. vm_pageout.c: 13) Further reduce pageout daemon activity when the system doesn't need help from it. There should be no additional performance decrease even when the pageout daemon is running. (This was a significant performance issue.) vnode_pager.c: 14) Teach the vnode pager to handle race conditions during vnode deallocations.

NOTE: libkvm, w, ps, 'top', and any other utility which depends on struct proc or any VM system structure will have to be rebuilt!!! Much needed overhaul of the VM system. Included in this first round of changes: 1) Improved pager interfaces: init, alloc, dealloc, getpages, putpages, haspage, and sync operations are supported. The haspage interface now provides information about clusterability. All pager routines now take struct vm_object's instead of "pagers". 2) Improved data structures. In the previous paradigm, there is constant confusion caused by pagers being both a data structure ("allocate a pager") and a collection of routines. The idea of a pager structure has escentially been eliminated. Objects now have types, and this type is used to index the appropriate pager. In most cases, items in the pager structure were duplicated in the object data structure and thus were unnecessary. In the few cases that remained, a un_pager structure union was created in the object to contain these items. 3) Because of the cleanup of #1 & #2, a lot of unnecessary layering can now be removed. For instance, vm_object_enter(), vm_object_lookup(), vm_object_remove(), and the associated object hash list were some of the things that were removed. 4) simple_lock's removed. Discussion with several people reveals that the SMP locking primitives used in the VM system aren't likely the mechanism that we'll be adopting. Even if it were, the locking that was in the code was very inadequate and would have to be mostly re-done anyway. The locking in a uni-processor kernel was a no-op but went a long way toward making the code difficult to read and debug. 5) Places that attempted to kludge-up the fact that we don't have kernel thread support have been fixed to reflect the reality that we are really dealing with processes, not threads. The VM system didn't have complete thread support, so the comments and mis-named routines were just wrong. We now use tsleep and wakeup directly in the lock routines, for instance. 6) Where appropriate, the pagers have been improved, especially in the pager_alloc routines. Most of the pager_allocs have been rewritten and are now faster and easier to maintain. 7) The pagedaemon pageout clustering algorithm has been rewritten and now tries harder to output an even number of pages before and after the requested page. This is sort of the reverse of the ideal pagein algorithm and should provide better overall performance. 8) Unnecessary (incorrect) casts to caddr_t in calls to tsleep & wakeup have been removed. Some other unnecessary casts have also been removed. 9) Some almost useless debugging code removed. 10) Terminology of shadow objects vs. backing objects straightened out. The fact that the vm_object data structure escentially had this backwards really confused things. The use of "shadow" and "backing object" throughout the code is now internally consistent and correct in the Mach terminology. 11) Several minor bug fixes, including one in the vm daemon that caused 0 RSS objects to not get purged as intended. 12) A "default pager" has now been created which cleans up the transition of objects to the "swap" type. The previous checks throughout the code for swp->pg_data != NULL were really ugly. This change also provides the rudiments for future backing of "anonymous" memory by something other than the swap pager (via the vnode pager, for example), and it allows the decision about which of these pagers to use to be made dynamically (although will need some additional decision code to do this, of course). 13) (dyson) MAP_COPY has been deprecated and the corresponding "copy object" code has been removed. MAP_COPY was undocumented and non- standard. It was furthermore broken in several ways which caused its behavior to degrade to MAP_PRIVATE. Binaries that use MAP_COPY will continue to work correctly, but via the slightly different semantics of MAP_PRIVATE. 14) (dyson) Sharing maps have been removed. It's marginal usefulness in a threads design can be worked around in other ways. Both #12 and #13 were done to simplify the code and improve readability and maintain- ability.
