- pages that points to page directory values of all processes, shared with the kernel, mapped into kernel address space; kernel is notified of its location. kernel segment size is increased to make it fit. - map in kernel and other processes that don't have their own page table using single 4MB (global) mapping. - new sanity check facility: objects that are allocated with the slab allocator are, when running with sanity checking on, marked readonly until they are explicitly unlocked using the USE() macro. - another sanity check facility: collect all uses of memory and see if they don't overlap with (a) eachother and (b) free memory - own munmap() and munmap_text() functions. - exec() recovers from out-of-memory conditions properly now; this solves some weird exec() behaviour - chew off memory from the same side of the chunk as where we start scanning, solving some memory fragmentation issues - use avl trees for freelist and phys_ranges in regions - implement most useful part of munmap() - remap() stuff is GQ's for shared memory 2009-09-21 16:49:49 +02:00
secondary cache feature in vm. A new call to vm lets processes yield a part of their memory to vm, together with an id, getting newly allocated memory in return. vm is allowed to forget about it if it runs out of memory. processes can ask for it back using the same id. (These two operations are normally combined in a single call.) It can be used as a as-big-as-memory-will-allow block cache for filesystems, which is how mfs now uses it. 2010-05-05 13:35:04 +02:00			`#include "proto.h"`
