8214e5e284 Removed racy COW optimization
- enabling writing in COW once phys block is reference only once is racy if VM
  is preemptible. original memory location may get overwritten before COW copies
  the memory

- problem when DEBUG_RACE is on and a big problem for SMP

f78d8e74fd 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.

c78250332d let vm use physically fragmented memory for allocations.
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

ec30f25d0c VM: fix kernel mappings for children of non-paged parents. 2010-03-18 17:17:31 +00:00
Ben Gras
35a108b911 panic() cleanup.
this change
   - makes panic() variadic, doing full printf() formatting -
     no more NO_NUM, and no more separate printf() statements
     needed to print extra info (or something in hex) before panicing
   - unifies panic() - same panic() name and usage for everyone -
     vm, kernel and rest have different names/syntax currently
     in order to implement their own luxuries, but no longer
   - throws out the 1st argument, to make source less noisy.
     the panic() in syslib retrieves the server name from the kernel
     so it should be clear enough who is panicing; e.g.
         panic("sigaction failed: %d", errno);
     looks like:
         at_wini(73130): panic: sigaction failed: 0
         syslib:panic.c: stacktrace: 0x74dc 0x2025 0x100a
   - throws out report() - printf() is more convenient and powerful
   - harmonizes/fixes the use of panic() - there were a few places
     that used printf-style formatting (didn't work) and newlines
     (messes up the formatting) in panic()
   - throws out a few per-server panic() functions
   - cleans up a tie-in of tty with panic()

merging printf() and panic() statements to be done incrementally.

c5b309ff07 Merge of Wu's GSOC 09 branch (src.20090525.r4372.wu)
Main changes:
- COW optimization for safecopy.
- safemap, a grant-based interface for sharing memory regions between processes.
- Integration with safemap and complete rework of DS, supporting new data types
  natively (labels, memory ranges, memory mapped ranges).
- For further information:
  http://wiki.minix3.org/en/SummerOfCode2009/MemoryGrants

Additional changes not included in the original Wu's branch:
- Fixed unhandled case in VM when using COW optimization for safecopy in case
  of a block that has already been shared as SMAP.
- Better interface and naming scheme for sys_saferevmap and ds_retrieve_map
  calls.
- Better input checking in syslib: check for page alignment when creating
  memory mapping grants.
- DS notifies subscribers when an entry is deleted.
- Documented the behavior of indirect grants in case of memory mapping.
- Test suite in /usr/src/test/safeperf|safecopy|safemap|ds/* reworked
  and extended.
- Minor fixes and general cleanup.
- TO-DO: Grant ids should be generated and managed the way endpoints are to make
sure grant slots are never misreused.

8d800b3df7 Make VM fix up memory for kernel that crosses region boundaries
too.

Add a test to make this happen (triggers a vm panic before this commit).

7a45f80bd5 threw out sanity checks before pagetable rewrites, triggering false
page table inconsistencies.

4c11d7e6f5 - simplify findhole() for use for 1 page only
- do WMF_FREE
 - added WMF_VERIFY to check page table contents
 - randomize address space usage in vm self

32fbbd370c - 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

2dd02cc560 mark pages whose refcount were >1 and drop to 1 and are
read/write writable in the pagetable right away instead of waiting for
a pagefault. minor optimization.

some a sanity check of SLAB-allocated pointers.

vm gets its own _exit and __exit like PM, so the stock (library) panic works.

866a4a667e phys addr arg of 0 must be possible for pt_writemap too (instead of meaning
unmap).

68d0c4defe - code shared with exec() letting boot-time processes have
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
