Introduce explicit abstractions for different mapping types,
handling the instantiation, forking, pagefaults and freeing of
anonymous memory, direct physical mappings, shared memory and
physically contiguous anonymous memory as separate types, making
region.c more generic.
Also some other genericification like merging the 3 munmap cases
into one.
COW and SMAP safemap code is still implicit in region.c.
fixes an assert() firing when starting X. thanks to the report by pikpik.
. NO_MEM was 0, which is actually an existing piece
of physical memory. it can't be allocated because it's reserved
for bios data (by the kernel), but it can be mapped in (e.g.
by X), causing sanity check disaster.
. NONCONTIGUOUS is also obsolete as all allocations are single-page
now, i.e. NONCONTIGUOUS is really the default and only mode.
. only reference single pages in process data structures
to simplify page faults, copy-on-write, etc.
. this breaks the secondary cache for objects that are
not one-page-sized; restored in a next commit
map_copy_ph_block is replaced by map_clone_ph_block, which can
replace a single physical block by multiple physical blocks.
also,
. merge map_mem.c with region.c, as they manipulate the same
data structures
. NOTRUNNABLE removed as sanity check
. use direct functions for ALLOC_MEM and FREE_MEM again
. add some checks to shared memory mapping code
. fix for data structure integrity when using shared memory
. fix sanity checks
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
. map kernel in non-user
. don't map in first pages of kernel code and data
if possible
these first pages could actually be freed but as the
kernel isn't allowed to touch them either we can't reuse
them until VM has totally taken over page table management
and kernel doesn't rely on identity mapping any more.
their own fully fledged virtual address space and freeing
their pre-allocated heap+stack area (necessary to let memory
driver map in arbitrary areas of memory for /dev/mem without
sys_vm_map)
- small optimization preallocating memory on exec
- finished VR_DIRECT physical mapping code
