2009-08-11uvm_scheduler() sounds important, but ``while(1) tsleep()'' is kinda lameBret Lambert

2009-06-16date based reversion of uvm to the 4th May.Owain Ainsworth
We still have no idea why this stops the crashes. but it does. a machine forced to 64mb of ram cycled 10GB through swap with this diff and is still running as I type this. Other tests by ariane@ and thib@ also seem to show that it's alright. ok deraadt@, thib@, ariane@
2009-06-16Backout pmemrange (which to most people is more well known as physmemAriane van der Steldt
allocator). "i can't see any obvious problems" oga

2009-06-07extend uvm_page_physload to have the ability to add "device" pages to theOwain Ainsworth
system. This is needed in the case where you need managed pages so you can handle faulting and pmap_page_protect() on said pages when you manage memory in such regions (i'm looking at you, graphics cards). these pages are flagged PG_DEV, and shall never be on the freelists, assert this. behaviour remains unchanged in the non-device case, specifically for all archs currently in the tree we panic if called after bootstrap. ok art@, kettenis@, ariane@, beck@.
2009-06-01physmem allocator: change the view of free memory from single free pagesAriane van der Steldt
to free ranges. Classify memory based on region with associated use-counter (which is used to construct a priority list of where to allocate memory). Based on code from tedu@, help from many. Ok art@
2009-04-20add the UVM_PLA_ZERO flag for uvm_pglistalloc to make it return zeroedOwain Ainsworth
pages. "go for it" miod@
2009-04-14Convert the waitok field of uvm_pglistalloc to "flags", more will be added soon.Owain Ainsworth
For the possibility of sleeping, the first two flags are UVM_PLA_WAITOK and UVM_PLA_NOWAIT. It is an error not to show intention, so assert that one of the two is provided. Switch over every caller in the tree to using the appropriate flag. ok art@, ariane@
2009-03-05Make ELF platforms generate ELF core dumps. Somewhat based on code fromMark Kettenis
NetBSD. ok kurt@, drahn@, miod@
2009-02-11Remove uvm_km_alloc_poolpage1 as it serves no particular purposeMike Belopuhov
now and valid for __HAVE_PMAP_DIRECT archs only, though implements both code paths. Put it's code directly into the uvm_km_getpage for PMAP_DIRECT archs. No functional change. ok tedu, art
2008-11-04uvmspace_unshare() is never used; ok miodTheo de Raadt
2008-10-23a better fix for the "uvm_km thread runs out of memory" problem.Ted Unangst
add a new arg to the backend so it can tell pool to slow down. when we get this flag, yield *after* putting the page in the pool's free list. whatever we do, don't let the thread sleep. this makes things better by still letting the thread run when a huge pf request comes in, but without artificially increasing pressure on the backend by eating pages without feeding them forward. ok deraadt
2008-06-09Define a new flag, UVM_FLAG_HOLE, for uvm_map to create a vm_map_entry ofMiod Vallat
a new etype, UVM_ET_HOLE, meaning it has no backend. UVM_ET_HOLE entries (which should be created as UVM_PROT_NONE and with UVM_FLAG_NOMERGE and UVM_FLAG_HOLE) are skipped in uvm_unmap_remove(), so that pmap_{k,}remove() is not called on the entry. This is intended to save time, and behave better, on pmaps with MMU holes at process exit time. ok art@, kettenis@ provided feedback as well.
2008-04-09Add new stub uvm_shutdown() and call it from the right place in MD boot()Theo de Raadt
2007-11-29use a working mutex for the freepage list. ok art deraadtTed Unangst
2007-09-10Introduce a md pmap hook, pmap_remove_holes(), which is supposed to markMiod Vallat
the holes a MMU may have from a given vm_map. This will be automagically invoked for newly created vmspaces. On platforms with MMU holes (e.g. sun4, sun4c and vax), this prevents mmap(2) hints which would end up being in the hole to be accepted as valid, causing unexpected signals when the process tries to access the hole (since pmap can not fill the hole anyway). Unfortunately, the logic mmap() uses to pick a valid address for anonymous mappings needs work, as it will only try to find an address higher than the hint, which causes all mmap() with a hint in the hole to fail on vax. This will be improved later.
2007-05-27pagemove() is no longer used.Miod Vallat
2007-04-11The return value of uvm_grow() (and previously, grow()) has not been usedMiod Vallat
in 15 years, make it a void function. ok art@
2007-04-11Instead of managing pages for intrsafe maps in special objects (aka.Artur Grabowski
kmem_object) just so that we can remove them, just use pmap_extract to get the pages to free and simplify a lot of code to not deal with the list of intrsafe maps, intrsafe objects, etc. miod@ ok
2006-11-29We don't use mb_map anymore since a long time already. Remove it.Miod Vallat
2006-11-29Remove cpu_swapin() and cpu_swapout(), they are no longer necessary (exceptMiod Vallat
for cpu_swapin() on hppa* which is kept).
2006-11-29Kernel stack can be swapped. This means that stuff that's on the stackMiod Vallat
should never be referenced outside the context of the process to which this stack belongs unless we do the PHOLD/PRELE dance. Loads of code doesn't follow the rules here. Instead of trying to track down all offenders and fix this hairy situation, it makes much more sense to not swap kernel stacks. From art@, tested by many some time ago.
2006-11-29Add an alignment parameter to uvm_km_alloc1(), and change all callers toMiod Vallat
pass zero; this will be used shortly. From art@
2005-11-04Add an extra flags argument to uvm_io(), to specify whether we want to fixMiod Vallat
the protection of the memory mapping we're doing I/O on, or if we want to leave them as they are. This should only be necessary for breakpoint insertion in code, so we'll only use it for ptrace requests. Initially from art@ after discussion with kettenis@ millert@ and I, tested by many.
2005-09-28- when we run out of static kernel map entries, grab a fresh page usingPedro Martelletto
the uvm_km_page allocator and use it instead of calling panic() - add a counter to uvmexp so we can keep track of how many map entries we have in use idea from tedu@, long ago, okay deraadt@
2005-09-12Change the NKMEMPAGES range to 4-64MB for 32bit arches, and 8-128MB for 64bitMiod Vallat
arches; except on sparc where the range is 4-8 for !sun4m and 4-64 for sun4m, selected at runtime.
2005-05-24add a new field to vm_space and use it to track the number of anonTed Unangst
pages a process uses. this is now the userland "data size" value. ok art deraadt tdeval. thanks testers.

2004-12-30Import M_CANFAIL support from NetBSD, removes a nasty panic during low-mem ↵Niklas Hallqvist
scenarios, instead generating an ENOMEM backfeed, ok tedu@, prodded by many
2004-05-27change uvm_km_getpage to take waitok argument and sleep if appropriate.Ted Unangst
change both the nointr and default pool allocators to using uvm_km_getpage. change pools to default to a maxpages value of 8, so they hoard less memory. change mbuf pools to use default pool allocator. pools are now more efficient, use less of kmem_map, and a bit faster. tested mcbride, deraadt, pedro, drahn, miod to work everywhere
2004-04-28remove mb_object*; ok teduMarkus Friedl
2004-04-19introduce a new km_page allocator that gets pages from kernel_map usingTed Unangst
an interrupt safe thread. use this as the new backend for mbpool and mclpool, eliminating the mb_map. introduce a sysctl kern.maxclusters which controls the limit of clusters allocated. testing by many people, works everywhere but m68k. ok deraadt@ this essentially deprecates the NMBCLUSTERS option, don't use it. this should reduce pressure on the kmem_map and the uvm reserve of static map entries.
2003-08-10Remove uvm_useracc(): misleading, gives a false sentiment of security, andMiod Vallat
eventually not used anymore. Conforming to art@'s evil plans.
2003-06-02Remove the advertising clause in the UCB license which BerkeleyTodd C. Miller

2002-10-29Since memory deallocation can't fail, remove the error return fromArtur Grabowski
uvm_unmap, uvm_deallocate and a few other functions. Simplifies some code and reduces diff to the UBC branch.
2002-03-14Final __P removal plus some cosmetic fixupsTodd C. Miller

2002-02-28use red-black tree for lookup_entry. the red-black tree case forNiels Provos
map_findspace is still broken on alpha. this will make debugging easier. okay millert@
2002-02-25back out red-black tree. they are very fast but alpha UVM is broken andNiels Provos
the tree triggers the bug, PMAP_PREFER case was broken also.
2002-02-25use a red-black tree to find entries in the vm_map. augment the red-blackNiels Provos
tree to find free space between entries. speeds up memory allocation, etc...
2001-12-19UBC was a disaster. It worked very good when it worked, but on someArtur Grabowski
machines or some configurations or in some phase of the moon (we actually don't know when or why) files disappeared. Since we've not been able to track down the problem in two weeks intense debugging and we need -current to be stable, back out everything to a state it had before UBC. We apologise for the inconvenience.
2001-12-06remove unnecessary newlineNiklas Hallqvist
2001-12-04Yet another sync to NetBSD uvm.Artur Grabowski
Today we add a pmap argument to pmap_update() and allocate map entries for kernel_map from kmem_map instead of using the static entries. This should get rid of MAX_KMAPENT panics. Also some uvm_loan problems are fixed.
2001-11-30Kill uvm_pagealloc_contig. The two drivers that still used it should haveArtur Grabowski
been converted to bus_dma ages ago, but since noone haven't bothered to do that I haven't bothered to do more than to test that the kernel still builds with those changes.
2001-11-28Sync in more uvm from NetBSD. Mostly just cosmetic stuff.Artur Grabowski
Contains also support for page coloring.
2001-11-28Sync in more uvm changes from NetBSD.Artur Grabowski
This time we're getting rid of KERN_* and VM_PAGER_* error codes and use errnos instead.
2001-11-27Merge in the unified buffer cache code as found in NetBSD 2001/03/10. TheArtur Grabowski
code is written mostly by Chuck Silvers <chuq@chuq.com>/<chs@netbsd.org>. Tested for the past few weeks by many developers, should be in a pretty stable state, but will require optimizations and additional cleanups.
2001-11-12Bring in more changes from NetBSD. Mostly pagedaemon improvements.Artur Grabowski
