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.

fix handle_memory logic. again.

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

f9e81cb57b remove bogus arch_map2vir calls 2009-05-12 11:36:15 +00:00

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.

59e972f074 let drivers allocate memory at 64k physical boundary. 2009-02-12 12:26:08 +00:00

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

c078ec0331 Basic VM and other minor improvements.
Not complete, probably not fully debugged or optimized.
