in upper layers, with the eventual aim of supporting PAE and dealing with
the physical addressing mostly within pmap. (We will need either 64 bit
physical addresses or page indexes, possibly both depending on the
circumstances. Leaving this to pmap itself gives more flexibilitly.)

hash while holding the lock on a zone. Fix this by doing the allocation
seperately from the actual hash expansion.
The lock is dropped before the allocation and reacquired before the expansion.
The expansion code checks to see if we lost the race and frees the new hash
if we do. We really never will lose this race because the hash expansion is
single threaded via the timeout mechanism.
Fortunately we have no large zones with maximums specified yet, so it wasn't
breaking anything.
Implement blocking when a zone exceeds the maximum and M_WAITOK is specified.
Previously this just failed like the old zone allocator did. The old zone
allocator didn't support WAITOK/NOWAIT though so we should do what we
advertise.
While I was in there I cleaned up some more zalloc logic to further simplify
that code path and reduce redundant code. This was needed to make the blocking
work properly anyway.
didn't like the wait argument and that if you were removing a zone it had
better be empty.
Also, I broke out part of hash_expand and made a seperate hash_free() for use

never held across blocking operations. Also, fix two other lock order
reversals that were exposed by jhb's witness change.
The free path previously had a bug that would cause it to skip the free bucket
list in some cases and go straight to allocating a new bucket. This has been
fixed as well.
These changes made the bucket handling code much cleaner and removed quite a
few lock operations. This should be marginally faster now.
It is now possible to call malloc w/o Giant and avoid any witness warnings.
This still isn't entirely safe though because malloc_type statistics are not
protected by any lock.

PCPU_LAZY_INC() which increments elements in it for cases where we
can afford the occassional inaccuracy. Use of per-cpu stats counters
avoids significant cache stalls in various critical paths that would
otherwise severely limit our cpu scaleability.
Adjust all sysctl's accessing cnt.* elements to now use a procedure
which aggregates the requested field for all cpus and for the global
vmmeter.
The global vmmeter is retained, since some stats counters, like v_free_min,
cannot be made per-cpu. Also, this allows us to convert counters from
the global vmmeter to the per-cpu vmmeter in a piecemeal fashion, so
have at it!
most cases NULL is passed, but in some cases such as network driver locks
(which use the MTX_NETWORK_LOCK macro) and UMA zone locks, a name is used.

general cleanup of the API. The entire API now consists of two functions
similar to the pre-KSE API. The suser() function takes a thread pointer
as its only argument. The td_ucred member of this thread must be valid
so the only valid thread pointers are curthread and a few kernel threads
such as thread0. The suser_cred() function takes a pointer to a struct
ucred as its first argument and an integer flag as its second argument.
The flag is currently only used for the PRISON_ROOT flag.

with this flag. Remove the dup_list and dup_ok code from subr_witness. Now
we just check for the flag instead of doing string compares.
Also, switch the process lock, process group lock, and uma per cpu locks over
to this interface. The original mechanism did not work well for uma because
per cpu lock names are unique to each zone.

Also, grab the uma_mtx while in the sysctl handler. This hadn't caused

best path forward now is likely to change the lockmgr locks to simple
sleep mutexes, then see if any extra contention it generates is greater
than removed overhead of managing local locking state information,
cost of extra calls into lockmgr, etc.
Additionally, making the vm_map lock a mutex and respecting it properly
will put us much closer to not needing Giant magic in vm.
the motivation for saving and restoring the map->hint in useracc() is gone.
(The same tests that motivated this change in revision 1.57 now show that
there is no performance loss from removing it.) This was really a hack and
some day we would have had to add new synchronization here on map->hint
to maintain it.
pmap_qremove. pmap_kenter is not safe to use in MI code because it is not
guaranteed to flush the mapping from the tlb on all cpus. If the process
in question is preempted and migrates cpus between the call to pmap_kenter
and pmap_kremove, the original cpu will be left with stale mappings in its
tlb. This is currently not a problem for i386 because we do not use PG_G on
SMP, and thus all mappings are flushed from the tlb on context switches, not
just user mappings. This is not the case on all architectures, and if PG_G
is to be used with SMP on i386 it will be a problem. This was committed by
peter earlier as part of his fine grained tlb shootdown work for i386, which
was backed out for other reasons.

the bio and buffer structures to have daddr64_t bio_pblkno,
b_blkno, and b_lblkno fields which allows access to disks
larger than a Terabyte in size. This change also requires
that the VOP_BMAP vnode operation accept and return daddr64_t
blocks. This delta should not affect system operation in
any way. It merely sets up the necessary interfaces to allow
the development of disk drivers that work with these larger
disk block addresses. It also allows for the development of
UFS2 which will use 64-bit block addresses.
While doing this, move it earlier in the sysinit boot process so that the
VM system can use it.
After that, the system is now able to use sx locks instead of lockmgr
locks in the VM system. To accomplish this, some of the more
questionable uses of the locks (such as testing whether they are
owned or not, as well as allowing shared+exclusive recursion) are
removed, and simpler logic throughout is used so locks should also be
easier to understand.
This has been tested on my laptop for months, and has not shown any
problems on SMP systems, either, so appears quite safe. One more
user of lockmgr down, many more to go :)

the revived code.
vm pages newly allocated are marked busy (PG_BUSY), thus calling
vm_page_delete before the pages has been freed or unbusied will
cause a deadlock since vm_page_object_page_remove will wait for the
busy flag to be cleared. This can be triggered by calling malloc
with size > PAGE_SIZE and the M_NOWAIT flag on systems low on
physical free memory.
A kernel module that reproduces the problem, written by Logan Gabriel
<logan@mail.2cactus.com>, can be found in the freebsd-hackers mail

Archie Cobbs <archie@dellroad.org>.

A sysctl, vm.msync_flush_flag, has been added and defaults to 3 (the two
committed optimizations are turned on by default). 0 will turn off both
optimizations.
This code has already been tested under stable and is one in a series of

positives found when grep'ing the kernel sources for p_ucred to ensure
proper locking.
In order to determine what to page out, the vm_daemon checks
reference bits on all pages belonging to all processes. Unfortunately,
the algorithm used reacted badly with shared pages; each shared page
would be checked once per process sharing it; this caused an O(N^2)
growth of tlb invalidations. The algorithm has been changed so that
each page will be checked only 16 times.
Prior to this change, a fork/sleepbomb of 1300 processes could cause
the vm_daemon to take over 60 seconds to complete, effectively
freezing the system for that time period. With this change
in place, the vm_daemon completes in less than a second. Any system
with hundreds of processes sharing pages should benefit from this change.
Note that the vm_daemon is only run when the system is under extreme
memory pressure. It is likely that many people with loaded systems saw
no symptoms of this problem until they reached the point where swapping
began.
