kernel/vm: Do not try to reserve more memory than the system has.

All that happens is we wait unnecessarily, and cause the low_resource
monitor to run a lot, so we should skip doing that here altogether.

Encountered while running Falkon (Chromium): some part of Chromium
repeatedly tries to allocate 10+GB, more than my system has, which caused
the system to "stutter" due to low-resource-monitor runs locking
various kernel subsystems. This prevents that problem.

kernel/vm: Avoid committing memory in vm_map_file for PRIVATE_MAP without PROT_WRITE.

Instead, rely on commitment being done later, when the
protections are changed. set_area_protection() already
did just that, but set_memory_protection did not, so
it is implemented here.

Fixes #18733.

kernel/vm: check if page is in area

Checks if a `vm_page` is part of a `VMArea` before doing work with
it, as pages in a `VMCache` that an area is a part of might not
belong to that area.

This fixes a bug for copy-on-write areas when an application is
`fork`ing.

vm: Replace the VMAreas OpenHashTable with an AVLTree.

Since we used a hash table with a fixed size (1024), collisions were
obviously inevitable, meaning that while insertions would always be
fast, lookups and deletions would take linear time to search the
linked-list for the area in question. For recently-created areas,
this would be fast; for less-recently-created areas, it would get
slower and slower and slower.

A particularly pathological case was the "mmap/24-1" test from the
Open POSIX Testsuite, which creates millions of areas until it hits
ENOMEM; it then simply exits, at which point it would run for minutes
and minutes in the kernel team deletion routines; how long I don't know,
as I rebooted before it finished.

This change fixes that problem, among others, at the cost of increased
area creation time, by using an AVL tree instead of a hash. For comparison,
mmap'ing 2 million areas with the "24-1" test before this change took
around 0m2.706s of real time, while afterwards it takes about 0m3.118s,
or around a 15% increase (1.152x).

On the other hand, the total test runtime for 2 million areas went from
around 2m11.050s to 0m4.035s, or around a 97% decrease (0.031x); in other
words, with this new code, it is *32 times faster.*

Area insertion will no longer be O(1), however, so the time increase
may go up with the number of areas present on the system; but if it's
only around 3 seconds to create 2 million areas, or about 1.56 us per area,
vs. 1.35 us before, I don't think that's worth worrying about.

My nonscientific "compile HaikuDepot with 2 cores in VM" benchmark
seems to be within the realm of "noise", anyway, with most results
both before and after this change coming in around 47s real time.

# c25f6f53 29-Mar-2022 Augustin Cavalier <waddlesplash@gmail.com>

kernel/vm: Completely replace mlock() implementation.

The old implementation used the real lock_memory(). This is problematic
and does not work for a large number of reasons:

1) Various parts of the kernel assume memory is locked only very
temporarily, and will often wait on locked memory to become unlocked.
The transient nature of locks is further demonstrated by the fact that
lock_memory acquires references to structures, like the address space,
which are only released by unlock_memory

2) The VM has a hard assumption that all lock_memory calls will be
exactly balanced, and maintains internal "WiredRange" structures
on areas, etc. corresponding to the original lock_memory calls.
Maintaining separate data structures as this code did is a recipe
for even more problems when the structures are manipulated separately,
leading to confusing or incorrect behavior on unlocks.

3) Areas with locked memory cannot be deleted, nor can the pages which are
locked be removed from the areas/caches. This of course is most notable
when destroying teams which locked memory, but the problem also occurs
when just using delete_area, resize_area, mmap/munmap, etc.

Because of (2) and especially (3), adding support for mlock()-like semantics
to the existing memory locking system is just not a good option. A further
reason is that our lock_memory is much stricter than mlock(), which only
demands the pages in question must remain resident in RAM and cannot be
swapped out (or, it seems, otherwise written back to disk.)

Thus, this commit completely removes the old implementation (which
was seriously broken and did not actually automatically unlock memory
on team exit or area destruction at all, etc.) and instead adds a new
feature to VMAnonymousCache to block certain pages from being written out.
The syscall then just invokes this to do its work.

Fixes #17674. Related to #13651.

kernel/vm: Let _user_set_memory_protection change area->protection if possible.

If mprotect() is being run over an entire area, and the area does
not have per-page protections, then we can just invoke set_area_protection
instead of allocating a protections array.

This is a major efficiency increase, as every page fault would otherwise
have to use the protections array if it was allocated.

Testing with QtWebEngine shows this new path being hit relatively often
(multiple hundred times in loading a single webpage).

Originally VMArea::cache_type was introduced 15 years ago

- Rename validate_user_range to validate_memory_range. The "user" in the

When copying an area with vm_copy_area only the new protection would be
applied and any possibly existing page protections on the source area
were ignored.

For areas with stricter area protection than page protection, this lead
to faults when accessing the copy. In the opposite case it lead to too
relaxed protection. The currently only user of vm_copy_area is
fork_team which goes through all areas of the parent and copies them to
the new team. Hence page protections were ignored on all forked teams.

Remove the protection argument and instead always carry over the source
area protection and duplicate the page protections when present.

Also make sure to take the page protections into account for deciding
whether or not the copy is writable and therefore needs to have copy on
write semantics.

libroot/kernel: Implement MADV_FREE madvise() extension.

It allows an application to signal that it no longer needs the data in
the given address range and the underlying pages can be discarded and
reused elsewhere. This is finer grained than working with full areas
or mappings at a time and enables unmapping sections of partially used
mappings without giving up its address space.

Compared with punching holes into a mapping by "mapping over" with
PROT_NONE and MAP_NORESERVE, this has the obvious advantage of not
producing a lot of unused extra areas and saves the corresponding
resources. It is also a lot "lighter" of an operation than cutting
existing areas.

This introduces madvise() alongside the existing posix_madvise() to
allow for OS specific extensions. The constants for both functions are
aliased, the POSIX_MADV_* being a subset of the MADV_* ones without the
non-POSIX extensions. Internally posix_madvise() simply calls madvise().

MADV_FREE is commonly supported in other OSes with various subtle
semantic differences as to when pages are actually freed/cleared and how
or whether the pages are counted against the memory use of a process.
In the variant implemented here, pages are always immediately discarded
and memory counting is not altered. This behaviour should be considered
an implementation detail and may be altered later. The actual unmap and
discard could for example be delayed until pages are needed elsewhere to
reduce overhead in case of repeated discarding and remapping.

Note that MADV_FREE doesn't really align with the rest of the madvise()
API as it works like a command (i.e. discard these pages) and does not
add an attribute to the pages in the given range (i.e. mark these pages
for quick access from now on). As such, an MADV_FREE does not need to be
undone by setting a different advice later on, unlike how the other
flags work. This discrepancy may be the reason why it is not part of
POSIX.

Revert "kernel: Remove the B_KERNEL_AREA protection flag."

This reverts parts of hrev52546 that removed the B_KERNEL_AREA
protection flag and replaced it with an address space comparison.

Checking for areas in the kernel address space inside a user address
space does not work, as areas can only ever belong to one address space.
This rendered these checks ineffective and allowed to unmap, delete or
resize kernel managed areas from their respective userland teams.

That protection was meant to be applied to the team user data area which
was introduced to reduce the kernel to userland overhead by directly
sharing some data between the two. It was intended to be set up in such
a manner that this is safe on the kernel side and the B_KERNEL_AREA flag
was introduced specifically for this purpose.

Incidentally the actual application of the B_KERNEL_AREA flag on the
team user data area was apparently forgotten in the original commit.

The absence of that protection allowed applications to induce KDLs by
modifying the user area and generating a signal for example.

This change restores the B_KERNEL_AREA flag and also applies it to the
team user data area.

kernel/vm: Implement swap adoption for cut_area middle case.

Rename MovePageRange to Adopt and group it with Resize/Rebase as it
covers the third, middle cut case.

Implement VMAnonymousCache::Adopt() to actually adopt swap pages. This
has to recreate swap blocks instead of taking them over from the source
cache as the cut offset or base offset between the caches may not be
swap block aligned. This means that adoption may fail due to memory
shortage in allocating the swap blocks.

For the middle cut case it is therefore now possible to have the adopt
fail in which case the previous cache restore logic is applied. Since
the readoption of the pages from the second cache can fail for the same
reason, there is a slight chance that we can't restore and lose pages.
For now, just panic in such a case and add a TODO to free memory and
retry.

vm: Block userland from modifying any area owned by the kernel.

Previously this protection was possible via the opt-in B_KERNEL_AREA flag,
however, almost nothing used that, so in practice these protections were

Userland can still access kernel areas according to the protection flags
(and due to SMAP, these have been refined and reduced as appopriate)
and clone them (according to B_USER_CLONEABLE_AREA flag, which has
been required since August of this year), but they can no longer
resize them (something no in-tree application does on any shared area),
set protections (otherwise they could add B_USER_CLONEABLE_AREA...),
unmap them, or essentially do anything else besides get their
information (and even that we should restrict to uid 0, in the future.)

From my testing, this does not introduce any issues, and no applications
nor drivers should have been relying on the previous behavior (unlike
SMAP or the clone-area changes, which did affect applications.)

vm: Enable B_USER_CLONEABLE_AREA protection.

Spotted while reading through the VM code while thinking about how to
implement vfork().

When axeld disabled this in 2005 (!), Haiku's kernel was still young,
BeOS drivers were still "a thing," and there was no distinction in this
function from being called by the kernel / not by the kernel.

Now, it's 2018, we manage all drivers ourselves, have SMAP enabled by
default when available, and as axeld recently noted on the mailing lists,
"there's not much reason we still use GCC2 for the kernel anyway." So we
probably don't care about any BeOS drivers that may be broken by this
(are there any still around?)

Besides the usual fixes to get this 13-year-old chunk to work again, there
are two functional changes:
1) Allow the kernel to clone whatever it likes into the user's address space.
It seems that this is often done legitimately (e.g. team creation), and
so attempting to distinguish those cases seems more work than it may be
worth right now.

The disadvantage is that drivers without proper checks may be "tricked"
into cloning areas they shouldn't; but I'm guessing if that's the case,
then something else is probably broken and the driver should be fixed.
It seems the reverse case (cloning a userland area into the kernel)
is much more common (in fact, it looks like all 4 of the 4 places
where clone_area is used in kernel-space outside the kernel itself
are doing this.)

2) At KDEBUG_LEVEL 2 and higher, throw a panic when attempting to clone
an area that does not have the protection flag set. This should make
finding any bugs exposed by this change much easier than "hardware doesn't
work" / "black screen on boot" / etc., as well as any potential future
bugs introduced in the process of driver development.

kernel: Use anonymous namespaces to avoid type collisions.

The anonymous namespace makes type definitions local to the translation
unit (like static does for objects). For pretty much any type not shared
across multiple files this is what one wants to happen (and might
erroneously expect to happen automatically).

This commit solves some actual collisions that were present:

* The VFS and the rootfs both used an incompatible VnodeHash struct for
their BOpenHashTable.
* XSI semaphores and message queues both used queued_thread, Ipc and
IpcHashTableDefinition.

For release builds these did not cause problems as the types were fully
inlined. Debug builds would crash at boot however because parts of a
BOpenHashTable<VnodeHash> from the rootfs meant to operate on struct
rootfs_vnode would be applied to one from the VFS expecting struct
vnode.

As such collisions are violations of the one definition rule, the code
is at fault and unfortunatley the compiler isn't required to diagnose
such problems across translation units (which isn't actually trivial).
This can lead to subtle and hard to debug problems and it's therefore
best to avoid leaking types into the global namespace whenever possible.

unlock_memory_etc(): Fix address space reference leak

unlock_memory_etc() is supposed to release the address space reference
lock_memory_etc() acquired. It didn't do that, though.


# 93fb0ff0 12-Nov-2013 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

vm: lock_memory_etc(): Fix error case

In case something went wrong, call unlock_memory_etc() with the rounded
base address instead of with the original address. If the original
address wasn't page aligned, unlock_memory_etc() would otherwise try to
unlock an additional page.

vm: remove B_RANDOMIZED_IMAGE_ADDRESS address specification

This address specification is actually not needed since PIC images can be
located anywhere. Only their size is restriced but that is the compiler and
linker concern. Thanks to Alex Smith for pointing that out.


# d4823423 05-Apr-2013 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

VM: Fix vm_block_address_range() area protection

B_ALREADY_WIRED, which was erroneously passed for the area protection
parameter to map_backing_store(), has the value 7 which implies user
readable and writable. Hence the address ranges around 0xdeadbeef and
0xcccccccc could actually be read and written from anywhere.


# 65ed4fa9 03-Apr-2013 Pawel Dziepak <pdziepak@quarnos.org>

vm: implement B_RANDOMIZED_IMAGE_ADDRESS address specification

On some 64 bit architectures program and library images have to be mapped in
the lower 2 GB of the address space (due to instruction pointer relative
addressing). Address specification B_RANDOMIZED_IMAGE_ADDRESS ensures that
created area satisfies that requirement.


# 966f2076 06-Mar-2013 Pawel Dziepak <pdziepak@quarnos.org>

x86: enable data execution prevention

Set execute disable bit for any page that belongs to area with neither
B_EXECUTE_AREA nor B_KERNEL_EXECUTE_AREA set.

In order to take advanage of NX bit in 32 bit protected mode PAE must be
enabled. Thus, from now on it is also enabled when the CPU supports NX bit.

vm_page_fault() takes additional argument which indicates whether page fault
was caused by an illegal instruction fetch.


# b3e4c677 26-Feb-2013 Pawel Dziepak <pdziepak@quarnos.org>

vm: implement B_RANDOMIZED_ANY_ADDRESS address specification

Randomized equivalent of B_ANY_ADDRESS. When a free space is found (as in
B_ANY_ADDRESS) the base adress is then randomized using _RandomizeAddress
pretty much like it is done in B_RANDOMIZED_BASE_ADDRESS.


# f9bab525 25-Feb-2013 Pawel Dziepak <pdziepak@quarnos.org>

vm: implement B_RANDOMIZED_BASE_ADDRESS address specification

B_RAND_BASE_ADDRESS is basically B_BASE_ADDRESS with non-deterministic created
area's base address.

Initial start address is randomized and then the algorithm looks for a large
enough free space in the interval [randomized start, end]. If it fails then
the search is repeated in the interval [original start, randomized start]. In
case it also fails the algorithm falls back to B_ANY_ADDRESS
(B_RANDOMIZED_ANY_ADDRESS when it is implemented) just like B_BASE_ADDRESS does.

Randomization range is limited by kMaxRandomize and kMaxInitialRandomize.


# d1f280c8 01-Apr-2012 Hamish Morrison <hamishm53@gmail.com>

only.


# 4efc3430 14-Aug-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Fixed possible NULL dereference in vm_page_fault.

This bug was introduced by changing IS_USER_ADDRESS to check against
USER_BASE AND USER_TOP rather than just !IS_KERNEL_ADDRESS. Faults
on addresses outside both the user and kernel address spaces (i.e. the
gap between user and kernel) would result in addressSpace being NULL,
but addressSpace was being used without checking for NULL at one point.


# 25871c68 04-Aug-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

# 6e2f6d1a 29-Jul-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Changed cookie type for get_next_area_info() to ssize_t.

The cookie is used to store the base address of the area that was just
visited. On 64-bit systems, int32 is not sufficient. Therefore, changed
to ssize_t which retains compatibility on x86 while expanding to a
sufficient size on x86_64.


# c3f0fd28 12-Jul-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Fixed formatting of output in some debugger commands.

Currently all debugger commands assume 32-bit pointers when formatting their
output. This means that on x86_64 the output is incorrectly formatted. Fixed
this by adding a B_PRINTF_POINTER_WIDTH definition (16 on 64-bit, 8 on
32-bit), and using this to correctly format the output. Not all commands have
been fixed yet, but all VM, slab, VFS, team, thread and image commands should
be correct.


# 5e9bb17d 08-Jul-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

# 3b802628 09-Jul-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Support ELF64 in the kernel.

This has been done by adding typedefs in elf_common.h to the correct ELF
structures for the architecture, and changing all Elf32_* uses to those
types. I don't know whether image loading works as I cannot test it yet,
there may be some 64-bit safety issues around. However, symbol lookup for
the kernel is working correctly.

# fb8447d5 02-Jul-2012 Rene Gollent <anevilyak@gmail.com>

Fix ticket #8650.

- Replace arch_cpu_user_strlcpy() and arch_cpu_user_memset() with x86 assembly
versions. These correctly handle the fault handler, which had broken again
on gcc4 for the C versions, causing stack corruption in certain error cases.
The other architectures will still need to have corresponding asm variants
added in order for them to not run into the same issue though.


# 294711f9 27-Jun-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Changed {,u}int64 to be long rather than long long on x86_64.


# f1244978 22-Jun-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Added an ELF64 version of preloaded_image.

* There is now 2 structures, preloaded_elf32_image and preloaded_elf64_image,
which both inherit from preloaded_image.
* For now I've just hardcoded in use of preloaded_elf32_image, but the
bootloader ELF code will shortly be converted to use templates which use
the appropriate structure. The kernel will be changed later when I add
ELF64 support to it.
* All kernel_args data is now compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels.


# 192af9e0 20-Jun-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Changed addr_range to use uint64.

I've tested this change on x86, causing no issues. I've checked over the code
for all other platforms and made the necessary changes and to the best of my
knowledge they should also still work, but I haven't actually built and
tested them. Once I've completed the kernel_args changes the other platforms
will need testing.

ASSERT() that there really aren't any wired pages.


# af09f123 11-Dec-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Create the right cache type ([non-]swappable) on copy on write.

When forking a team, copy on write areas (and therefore caches) are
created for all the areas in the parent team, but they were always
created as swappable. If the parent team had some B_FULL_LOCK areas,
which aren't swappable, the wrong type of cache would be created which
lead to them not being mergeable later on (causing a panic).

Comments about a possibly cleaner way to figure out the cache type
would be welcome.


# ded69b4c 06-Dec-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Only the to be protected range needs to be non-wired.

When setting memory protection, only ensure/wait for the range that
needs to be protected to not be wired instead of requiering the whole
area to be non-wired. The memory protection is done page wise and
having some parts of the area wired shouldn't preclude other parts to
be protected.


# 1fe24d0c 03-Dec-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Add heap with guard pages to detect out of bound reads/writes.

This is a very simple heap implementation that allocates memory so that
the end of each allocation always coincides with a page end and is
followed by a guard page which is marked non-present. Out of bounds
access (both read and write) therefore cause a crash (unhandled page
fault).

Note that this allocator is neither speed nor space efficient, indeed it
wastes huge amounts of pages and address space so it is quite easy to
hit limits. It is intended as a pure debug feature.


# 7418dbd9 03-Dec-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Introduce debug page wise kernel area protection functions.

This adds a pair of functions vm_prepare_kernel_area_debug_protection()
and vm_set_kernel_area_debug_protection() to set a kernel area up for
page wise protection and to actually protect individual pages
respectively.

It was already possible to read and write protect full areas via area
protection flags and not mapping any actual pages. For areas that
actually have mapped pages this doesn't work however as no fault, at
which the permissions could be checked, is generated on access.

These new functions use the debug helpers of the translation map to mark
individual pages as non-present without unmapping them. This allows them
to be "protected", i.e. causing a fault on read and write access. As they
aren't actually unmapped they can later be marked present again.

Note that these are debug helpers and have quite a few restrictions as
described in the comment above the function and is only useful for some
very specific and constrained use cases.


# 5247333d 13-Nov-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Don't do the heap size calculation when using the slab as heap.

The initial heap size calculation only applies to the legacy/debug
heap, so it isn't needed when using the slab as kernel heap.

Move resizing the page_protections before resizing the cache to avoid a needless

# 3fb17998 27-Jun-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

When resizing an area that has individual page protections (set via mprotect),
we have to enlarge/shrink the array that holds them and assign a protection
value for the additional pages as necessary. Otherwise we'll access invalid
memory when looking up page protections for enlarged areas and get random
protection values.
Experienced with QEMU that sets page protections via mprotect on heap memory.
When the heap was later enlarged, write access to the additional memory would
result in permission denied errors and crashes.

* Moved the vm_page initialization from vm_page.cpp:vm_page_init() to the new
vm_page::Init().
* Made vm_page::wired_count private and added accessor methods.
* Added VMCache::fWiredPagesCount (the number of wired pages the cache
contains) and accessor methods.
* Made more use of vm_page::IsMapped().
* vm_copy_on_write_area(): Added vm_page_reservation* parameter that can be
used to request a special handling for wired pages. If given the wired pages
are replaced by copies and the original pages are moved to the upper cache.
* vm_copy_area():
- We don't need to do any wired ranges handling, if the source area is a
B_SHARED_AREA, since we don't touch the area's mappings in this case.
- We no longer wait for wired ranges of the concerned areas to disappear.
Instead we use the new vm_copy_on_write_area() feature and just let it
copy the wired pages. This fixes #6288, an issue introduced with the use
of user mutexes in libroot: When executing multiple concurrent fork()s all
but the first one would wait on the fork mutex, which (being a user mutex)
would wire a page that the vm_copy_area() of the first fork() would wait
for.

# 1d578e15 02-Jun-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

warnings, but also some oversights from earlier changes.

# 435c43f5 02-Jun-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Introduced type generic_io_vec, which is similar to iovec, but uses types
that are wide enough for both virtual and physical addresses.
* DMABuffer, IORequest, IOScheduler,... and code using them: Use
generic_io_vec and generic_{addr,size}_t where necessary.

# 64d79eff 27-May-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Changed physical_entry::{address,size} to phys_{addr,size}_t and changed
map_physical_memory()'s physicalAddress parameter type from void* to
phys_addr_t. This breaks source compatibility, but -- as long as
phys_{addr,size}_t remain 32 bit wide -- keeps binary compatibility with
BeOS.
* Adjusted all code using the affected interfaces (Oh what fun!). Added a few
TODOs in places where the wrong types (e.g. void* for physical addresses
are used). Looks like quite a few drivers aren't 64 bit safe and others
will break with PAE.

# 13fa4c84 06-May-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Introduced new area creation flag CREATE_AREA_DONT_COMMIT_MEMORY.
map_backing_store() doesn't commit memory when this flag is given.
* Used the new flag vm_copy_area(): We no longer commit memory for read-only
areas. This prevents read-only mapped files from suddenly requiring memory
after fork(). Might improve the situation on machines with very little RAM
a bit.
We should probably mark writable copies over-committing, since the usual
case is fork() + exec() where the child normally doesn't need more than a
few pages until calling exec(). That would significantly reduce the memory
requirement for jamming the Haiku tree.

* Moved the B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA flag from B_KERNEL_AREA_FLAGS to
B_USER_AREA_FLAGS, since we really allow it to be passed from userland.
* Most VM syscalls check the provided protection against B_USER_AREA_FLAGS
instead of B_USER_PROTECTION, now. This way they allow for
B_OVERCOMMITTING_AREA as well.
* _user_map_file(), _user_set_memory_protection(): Check the protection like

manually.

- Added "team" parameter for specifying the address space the address are
to be interpreted in.
- When the standard memcpy() (with fault handler) fails, fall back to
vm_debug_copy_page_memory().
* Added debug_is_debugged_team(): Predicate returning true, if the supplied
team_id refers to the same team debug_get_debugged_thread() belongs to.
* Added DebuggedThreadSetter class for scope-based debug_set_debugged_thread().
Made use of it in several debugger functions.
* print_demangled_call() (x86): Fixed unsafe memory access.

Allows KDL stack traces to work correctly again, even if the page daemon has
already unmapped the concerned pages.

explicitly delete the range object after unlocking the cache to avoid
potential deadlocks.

locking the area's top cache.

# 550376ff 03-Apr-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* vm_delete_areas(): Changed return type to void (was status_t and not used).
* _user_map_file(), _user_unmap_memory(): Verify that the address (if given) is
page aligned.
* Reworked memory locking (wiring):
- VMArea does now have a list of wired memory ranges and supports waiting for
a range to be removed.
- vm_soft_fault():
- Added "wirePage" parameter that, if given, makes the function wire the
page and return it.
- Added "wiredRange" parameter (for calls from lock_memory_etc()) and made
sure we never unmap wired pages. This could e.g. happen when a page from a
lower cache was read-mapped and a write fault occurred. Now in such a
situation the function waits for the page to be unwired and restarts.
- All functions that manipulate areas in a way that could affect wired ranges
do now either require the caller to make sure there are no wired ranges in
the way or do that themselves. Added a few wait_if_*_is_wired() helper
functions for that purpose.
- lock_memory_etc():
- Does now also work correctly when the range spans more than one area.
- Adds VMAreaWiredRanges to the affected VMAreas and retains an address
space reference (so that the address space won't be deleted as long as a
wired range exists).
- Resolved TODO: The area's caches are now locked when
increment_page_wired_count() is called.
- Resolved TODO: The race condition due to missing locking after looking up
the page mapping is now prevented. We hold the cache locks (in case the
page is already mapped) and the new vm_soft_fault() parameter allows us
to get the page wired.
- unlock_memory_etc(): Changes symmetrical to those in lock_memory_etc() and
resolved all TODOs.

# d40a9355 02-Mar-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Boot loader (x86 mmu.cpp):
* Made the page table allocation more flexible. Got rid of sMaxVirtualAddress
and added new virtual_end address to the architecture specific kernel args.
* Increased the virtual space we reserve for the kernel to 16 MB. That
should suffice for quite a while. The previous 2 MB were too tight when
building the kernel with debug info.
* mmu_init(): The way we were translating the BIOS' extended memory map to
our physical ranges arrays was broken. Small gaps between usable memory
ranges would be ignored and instead marked allocated. This worked fine for
the boot loader and during the early kernel initialization, but after the
VM has been fully set up it frees all physical ranges that have not been
claimed otherwise. So those ranges could be entered into the free pages
list and would be used later. This could possibly cause all kinds of weird
problems, probably including ACPI issues. Now we add only the actually
usable ranges to our list.

Kernel:
* vm_page_init(): The pages of the ranges between the usable physical memory
ranges are now marked PAGE_STATE_UNUSED, the allocated ranges
PAGE_STATE_WIRED.
* unmap_and_free_physical_pages(): Don't free pages marked as unused.

# ff59ce68 24-Feb-2010 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* The low resource handler now empties the cache depot's magazines; before,
they were never freed unless the cache was destroyed (I just wondered why
my system would bury >1G in the magazines).
* Made the magazine capacity variable per cache, ie. for larger objects, it's
not a good idea to have 64*CPU buffers lying around in the worst case.
* Furthermore, the create_object_cache_etc()/object_depot_init() now have
arguments for the magazine capacity as well as the maximum number of full
unused magazines.
* By default, you might want to initialize both to zero, as then some hopefully
usable defaults are computed. Otherwise (the only current example is the
vm_page_mapping cache) you can just put in the values you'd want there.
The page mapping cache uses larger values, as its objects are usually
allocated and deleted in larger chunks.
* Beware, though, I couldn't test these changes yet as Qemu didn't like to run
today. I'll test these changes on another machine now.

# dac21d8b 18-Feb-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* map_physical_memory() does now always set a memory type. If none is given (it
needs to be or'ed to the address specification), "uncached" is assumed.
* Set the memory type for the "BIOS" and "DMA" areas to write-back. Not sure, if
that's correct, but that's what was effectively used on my machines before.
* Changed x86_set_mtrrs() and the CPU module hook to also set the default memory
type.
* Rewrote the MTRR computation once more:
- Now we know all used memory ranges, so we are free to extend used ranges
into unused ones in order to simplify them for MTRR setup.
- Leverage the subtractive properties of uncached and write-through ranges to
simplify ranges of any other respectively write-back type.
- Set the default memory type to write-back, so we don't need MTRRs for the
RAM ranges.
- If a new range intersects with an existing one, we no longer just fail.
Instead we use the strictest requirements implied by the ranges. This fixes
#5383.

Overall the new algorithm should be sufficient with far less MTRRs than before
(on my desktop machine 4 are used at maximum, while 8 didn't quite suffice
before). A drawback of the current implementation is that it doesn't deal with
the case of running out of MTRRs at all, which might result in some ranges
having weaker caching/memory ordering properties than requested.

# 40bb9481 03-Feb-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Removed useless return parameter from vm_remove_all_page_mappings().
* Added vm_clear_page_mapping_accessed_flags() and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings_if_unaccessed(), which combine the functionality
of vm_test_map_activation(), vm_clear_map_flags(), and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings(), thus saving lots of calls to translation map
methods. The backend is the new method
VMTranslationMap::ClearAccessedAndModified().
* Started to make use of the cached page queue and changed the meaning of the
other non-free queues slightly:
- Active queue: Contains mapped pages that have been used recently.
- Inactive queue: Contains mapped pages that have not been used recently. Also
contains unmapped temporary pages.
- Modified queue: Contains unmapped modified pages.
- Cached queue: Contains unmapped unmodified pages (LRU sorted).
Unless we're actually low on memory and actively do paging, modified and
cached queues only contain non-temporary pages. Cached pages are considered
quasi free. They still belong to a cache, but since they are unmodified and
unmapped, they can be freed immediately. And this is what
vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages() do now when there are no more actually free
pages at hand. Essentially this means that pages storing cached file data,
unless mmap()ped, no longer are considered used and don't contribute to page
pressure. Paging will not happen as long there are enough free + cached pages
available.
* Reimplemented the page daemon. It no longer scans all pages, but instead works
the page queues. As long as the free pages situation is harmless, it only
iterates through the active queue and deactivates pages that have not been
used recently. When paging occurs it additionally scans the inactive queue and
frees pages that have not been used recently.
* Changed the page reservation/allocation interface:
vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages(), vm_page_unreserve_pages(), and
vm_page_allocate_page() now take a vm_page_reservation structure pointer.
The reservation functions initialize the structure -- currently consisting
only of a count member for the number of still reserved pages.
vm_page_allocate_page() decrements the count and vm_page_unreserve_pages()
unreserves the remaining pages (if any). Advantages are that reservation/
unreservation mismatches cannot occur anymore, that vm_page_allocate_page()
can verify that the caller has indeed a reserved page left, and that there's
no unnecessary pressure on the free page pool anymore. The only disadvantage
is that the vm_page_reservation object needs to be passed around a bit.
* Reworked the page reservation implementation:
- Got rid of sSystemReservedPages and sPageDeficit. Instead
sUnreservedFreePages now actually contains the number of free pages that
have not yet been reserved (it cannot become negative anymore) and the new
sUnsatisfiedPageReservations contains the number of pages that are still
needed for reservation.
- Threads waiting for reservations do now add themselves to a waiter queue,
which is ordered by descending priority (VM priority and thread priority).
High priority waiters are served first when pages become available.
Fixes #5328.
* cache_prefetch_vnode(): Would reserve one less page than allocated later, if
the size wasn't page aligned.

general "flags" parameter. It encodes the target state of the page -- so
that the page isn't unnecessarily put in the wrong page queue first -- a
flag whether the page should be cleared, and one to indicate whether the
page should be marked busy.

and even move it between states while being marked busy.
* Removed the vm_page::is_dummy flag. Instead we mark marker pages busy, which
in all cases has the same effect. Introduced a vm_page_is_dummy() that can
still check whether a given page is a dummy page.
* vm_page_unreserve_pages(): Before adding to the system reserve make sure
sUnreservedFreePages is non-negative. Otherwise we'd make nonexisting pages
available for allocation. steal_pages() still has the same problem and it
can't be solved that easily.
* map_page(): No longer changes the page state/mark the page unbusy. That's the
caller's responsibility.

vm_create_null_area(): The area was created with B_NO_LOCK which would cause

(malloc_nogrow(), vip_io_request_malloc()).
* Moved the I/O VIP heap to heap.cpp accordingly.

particularly in the VM*AddressSpace classes.
* Fixed IOBuffer::GetNextVirtualVec(): It was ignoring the VIP flag and always
allocated on the normal heap.

# cff6e9e4 26-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* The system now holds back a small reserve of committable memory and pages. The
memory and page reservation functions have a new "priority" parameter that
indicates how deep the function may tap into that reserve. The currently
existing priority levels are "user", "system", and "VIP". The idea is that
user programs should never be able to cause a state that gets the kernel into
trouble due to heavy battling for memory. The "VIP" level (not really used
yet) is intended for allocations that are required to free memory eventually
(in the page writer). More levels are thinkable in the future, like "user real
time" or "user system server".
* Added "priority" parameters to several VMCache methods.
* Replaced the map_backing_store() "unmapAddressRange" parameter by a "flags"
parameter.
* Added area creation flag CREATE_AREA_PRIORITY_VIP and slab allocator flag
CACHE_PRIORITY_VIP indicating the importance of the request.
* Changed most code to pass the right priorities/flags.

These changes already significantly improve the behavior in low memory
situations. I've tested a bit with 64 MB (virtual) RAM and, while not
particularly fast and responsive, the system remains at least usable under high
memory pressure.
As a side effect the slab allocator can now be used as general memory allocator.
Not done by default yet, though.

# b4e5e498 25-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

MemoryManager:
* Added support to do larger raw allocations (up to one large chunk (128 pages))
in the slab areas. For an even larger allocation an area is created (haven't
seen that happen yet, though).
* Added kernel tracing (SLAB_MEMORY_MANAGER_TRACING).
* _FreeArea(): Copy and paste bug: The meta chunks of the to be freed area
would be added to the free lists instead of being removed from them. This
would corrupt the lists and also lead to all kinds of misuse of meta chunks.

object caches:
* Implemented CACHE_ALIGN_ON_SIZE. It is no longer set for all small object
caches, but the block allocator sets it on all power of two size caches.
* object_cache_reserve_internal(): Detect recursion and don't wait in such a
case. The function could deadlock itself, since
HashedObjectCache::CreateSlab() does allocate memory, thus potentially
reentering.
* object_cache_low_memory():
- I missed some returns when reworking that one in r35254, so the function
might stop early and also leave the cache in maintenance mode, which would
cause it to be ignored by object cache resizer and low memory handler from
that point on.
- Since ReturnSlab() potentially unlocks, the conditions weren't quite correct
and too many slabs could be freed.
- Simplified things a bit.
* object_cache_alloc(): Since object_cache_reserve_internal() does potentially
unlock the cache, the situation might have changed and their might not be an
empty slab available, but a partial one. The function would crash.
* Renamed the object cache tracing variable to SLAB_OBJECT_CACHE_TRACING.
* Renamed debugger command "cache_info" to "slab_cache" to avoid confusion with
the VMCache commands.
* ObjectCache::usage was not maintained anymore since I introduced the
MemoryManager. object_cache_get_usage() would thus always return 0 and the
block cache would not be considered cached memory. This was only of
informational relevance, though.

slab allocator misc.:
* Disable the object depots of block allocator caches for object sizes > 2 KB.
Allocations of those sizes aren't so common that the object depots yield any
benefit.
* The slab allocator is now fully self-sufficient. It allocates its bootstrap
memory from the MemoryManager, and the hash tables for HashedObjectCaches use
the block allocator instead of the heap, now.
* Added option to use the slab allocator for malloc() and friends
(USE_SLAB_ALLOCATOR_FOR_MALLOC). Currently disabled. Works in principle and
has virtually no lock contention. Handling for low memory situations is yet
missing, though.
* Improved the output of some debugger commands.

# 8d1316fd 22-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Replaced CACHE_DONT_SLEEP by two new flags CACHE_DONT_WAIT_FOR_MEMORY and
CACHE_DONT_LOCK_KERNEL_SPACE. If the former is given, the slab memory manager
does not wait when reserving memory or pages. The latter prevents area
operations. The new flags add a bit of flexibility. E.g. when allocating page
mapping objects for userland areas CACHE_DONT_WAIT_FOR_MEMORY is sufficient,
i.e. the allocation will succeed as long as pages are available.

# 8a65066a 22-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

vm_soft_fault(): map_page() can fail for B_NO_LOCK areas, since it needs to
allocate a page mapping. In that case we do at least have to mark the page
not busy again. Furthermore we enforce the minimum page mappings object cache
reserve, so we'll have more luck on the next fault.

# 86c794e5 21-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

slab allocator:
* Implemented a more elaborated raw memory allocation backend (MemoryManager).
We allocate 8 MB areas whose pages we allocate and map when needed. An area is
divided into equally-sized chunks which form the basic units of allocation. We
have areas with three possible chunk sizes (small, medium, large), which is
basically what the ObjectCache implementations were using anyway.
* Added "uint32 flags" parameter to several of the slab allocator's object
cache and object depot functions. E.g. object_depot_store() potentially wants
to allocate memory for a magazine. But also in pure freeing functions it
might eventually become useful to have those flags, since they could end up
deleting an area, which might not be allowable in all situations. We should
introduce specific flags to indicate that.
* Reworked the block allocator. Since the MemoryManager allocates block-aligned
areas, maintains a hash table for lookup, and maps chunks to object caches,
we can quickly find out which object cache a to be freed allocation belongs
to and thus don't need the boundary tags anymore.
* Reworked the slab boot strap process. We allocate from the initial area only
when really necessary, i.e. when the object cache for the respective
allocation size has not been created yet. A single page is thus sufficient.

other:
* vm_allocate_early(): Added boolean "blockAlign" parameter. If true, the
semantics is the same as for B_ANY_KERNEL_BLOCK_ADDRESS.
* Use an object cache for page mappings. This significantly reduces the
contention on the heap bin locks.

# 15779f70 20-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

vm_get_page_mapping(): The translation map wasn't locked. For x86 the
function is used only in one place and the missing locking would be harmless
if it weren't for the per translation map physical page mapper. It is used to
map the page table for the lookup. Concurrent access could corrupt its data
structures, or, just as bad, the unlocked Query() could remap the page table
used by a concurrent Map() or Unmap(), which would then manipulate the
wrong page table.
Potentially messing up kernel memory, this bug could obviously cause all
kinds of kernel crashes and weird behavior. E.g. ticket #5138 is a likely
candidate, as are triple faults.

# 6379e53e 19-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

vm_page no longer points directly to its containing cache, but rather to a
VMCacheRef object which points to the cache. This allows to optimize
VMCache::MoveAllPages(), since it no longer needs to iterate over all pages
to adjust their cache pointer. It can simple swap the cache refs of the two
caches instead.

Reduces the total -j8 Haiku image build time only marginally. The kernel time
drops almost 10%, though.

# 3632eeed 18-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* VMCache: Added a UserData attribute which can be used by the lock holder.
* Added "bool consumerLocked" parameter to VMCache::Unlock() and
ReleaseRefAndUnlock(). Since Unlock() may cause the cache to be merged with
a consumer cache, the flag is needed to prevent a deadlock in case the
caller still holds a lock to the consumer. Hasn't been a problem yet, since
that situation never occurred.
* VMCacheChainLocker: Reversed unlocking order to bottom-up. The other
direction could cause a deadlock in case caches would be merged, since the
locking order would be reversed. The way VMCacheChainLocker was used this
didn't happen, though.
* fault_get_page(): While copying a page from a lower cache to the top cache,
we do now unlock all caches but the top one, so we don't unnecessarily
kill concurrency.

# f082f7f0 15-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added vm_page::accessed flag. Works analogously to vm_page::modified.
* Reorganized the code for [un]mapping pages:
- Added new VMTranslationMap::Unmap{Area,Page[s]}() which essentially do what
vm_unmap_page[s]() did before, just in the architecture specific code, which
allows for specific optimizations. UnmapArea() is for the special case that
the complete area is unmapped. Particularly in case the address space is
deleted, some work can be saved. Several TODOs could be slain.
- Since they are only used within vm.cpp vm_map_page() and vm_unmap_page[s]()
are now static and have lost their prefix (and the "preserveModified"
parameter).
* Added VMTranslationMap::Protect{Page,Area}(). They are just inline wrappers
for Protect().
* X86VMTranslationMap::Protect(): Make sure not to accidentally clear the
accessed/dirty flags.
* X86VMTranslationMap::Unmap()/Protect(): Make page table skipping actually
work. It was only skipping to the next page.
* Adjusted the PPC code to at least compile.

No measurable effect for the -j8 Haiku image build time, though the kernel time
drops minimally.

* Renamed vm_translation_map to VMTranslationMap and made it a proper C++
class. The functions in the operations vector have become methods.
* Added class GenericVMPhysicalPageMapper implementing VMPhysicalPageMapper
as far as possible (without actually writing new code).
* Adjusted the x86 and the PPC specifics accordingly (untested for the
latter). For the other architectures the build is, I'm afraid, seriously
broken.

The next steps will modify and extend the VMTranslationMap interface, so that
it will be possible to fix the bugs in vm_unmap_page[s]() and employ
architecture specific optimizations.

* Made VMCacheChainLocker more flexible (added unlocking destructor and
LockAllSourceCaches()) and moved it to the beginning of the file.
* Removed sMappingLock and adjusted the locking policy for mapping/unmapping
pages: Since holding the lock of the affected pages' caches is already
required, that does now protect the page's mappings, too. The area mappings
are protected by the translation map lock, which we always acquire anyway
when mapping, unmapping, or looking up mappings.

The change results in a -j8 Haiku image build speedup of almost 10%. The
total kernel time drops almost 30%.

# 3cd20943 06-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added new debug feature (DEBUG_PAGE_ACCESS) to detect invalid concurrent
access to a vm_page. It is basically an atomically accessed thread ID field
in the vm_page structure, which is explicitly set by macros marking the
critical sections. As a first positive effect I had to review quite a bit of
code and found several issues.
* Added several TODOs and comments. Some harmless ones, but also a few
troublesome ones in vm.cpp regarding page unmapping.
* file_cache: PrecacheIO::Prepare()/read_into_cache: Removed superfluous
vm_page_allocate_page() return value checks. It cannot fail anymore.
* Removed the heavily contended "pages" lock. We use different policies now:
- sModifiedTemporaryPages is accessed atomically.
- sPageDeficitLock and sFreePageCondition are protected by a new mutex.
- The page queues have individual locks (mutexes).
- Renamed set_page_state_nolock() to set_page_state(). Unless the caller says
otherwise, it does now lock the affected pages queues itself. Also changed
the return value to void -- we panic() anyway.
* set_page_state(): Add free/clear pages to the beginning of their respective
queues as this is more cache-friendly.
* Pages with the states PAGE_STATE_WIRED or PAGE_STATE_UNUSED are no longer
in any queue. They were in the "active" queue, but there's no good reason
to have them there. In case we decide to let the page daemon work the queues
(like FreeBSD) they would just be in the way.
* Pulled the common part of vm_page_allocate_page_run[_no_base]() into a helper
function. Also fixed a bug I introduced previously: The functions must not
vm_page_unreserve_pages() on success, since they remove the pages from the
free/clear queue without decrementing sUnreservedFreePages.
* vm_page_set_state(): Changed return type to void. The function cannot really
fail and no-one was checking it anyway.
* vm_page_free(), vm_page_set_state(): Added assertion: The page must not be
free/clear before. This is implied by the policy that no-one is allowed to
access free/clear pages without holding the respective queue's lock, which is
not the case at this point. This found the bug fixed in r34912.
* vm_page_requeue(): Added general assertions. panic() when requeuing of
free/clear pages is requested. Same reason as above.
* vm_clone_area(), B_FULL_LOCK case: Don't map busy pages. The implementation is
still not correct, though.

My usual -j8 Haiku build test runs another 10% faster, now. The total kernel
time drops about 18%. As hoped the new locks have only a fraction of the old
"pages" lock contention. Other locks lead the "most wanted list" now.

unmap_and_free_physical_pages(): Added missing check whether the page
mapping is actually present. This would have resulted in page 0 being freed
over and over again, if we hadn't also incorrectly tried to look up the page
by the virtual instead of the physical address. So we were actually freeing
random pages. Fortunately the virtual addresses are kernel addresses, so that
the affected pages lay beyond 2 GB and probably weren't used at this point
yet.

* Used the new feature instead of condition variables for waiting on busy
pages. We save publishing and unpublishing of a condition variable whenever
a page is marked busy. There's only something to do, if there's at least
one thread waiting in the list of the respective cache. The general
assumption is that this is only rarely the case and even if it happens,
there should be only very few threads.

* Renamed VMAddressSpace::ResizeArea{Head,Tail}() to ShrinkArea{Head,Tail}()
to clarify that they never enlarge the area.
* Reimplemented VMKernelAddressSpace. It is somewhat inspired by Bonwick's
vmem resource allocator (though we have different requirements):
- We consider the complete address space to be divided into contiguous
ranges of type free, reserved, or area, each range being represented by
a VMKernelAddressRange object.
- The range objects are managed in an AVL tree and a doubly linked list
(the latter only for faster iteration) sorted by address. This provides
O(log(n)) lookup, insertion and removal.
- For each power of two size we maintain a list of free ranges of at least
that size. Thus for the most common case of B_ANY*_ADDRESS area
allocation, we find a free range in constant time (the rest of the
processing being O(log(n))) with a rather good fit. This should also
help avoiding address space fragmentation.
While the new implementation should be faster, particularly with an
increasing number of areas, I couldn't measure any difference in the -j2
haiku build. From a cursory test the -j8 build hasn't tangibly benefitted
either.

# 35d94001 02-Dec-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Changed the address space area list to doubly linked. The reason is to
simplify migration of the area management, but as a side effect, it also
makes area deletion O(1) (instead of O(n), n == number of areas in the
address space).
* Moved more area management functionality from vm.cpp to VMAddressSpace and
VMArea structure creation to VMArea. Made the list and list link members
itself private.
* VMAddressSpace tracks its amount of free space, now. This also replaces
the previous mechanism to do that only for the kernel address space. It
was broken anyway, since delete_area() subtracted the area size instead of
adding it.
* vm_free_unused_boot_loader_range():
- lastEnd could be set to a value < start, which could cause memory
outside of the given range to be unmapped. Haven't checked whether this
could happen in practice -- if so, it would be seriously unhealthy.
- The range between the end of the last area in the range and the end of
the range would never be freed.
- Fixed potential integer overflows when computing addresses.

Made the {debug,user}_{mem,strl}cpy() and user_memset() functions deal with

a general protection fault instead of a page fault, and we only use the fault
handler in the latter case (maybe we should change that, too). Fixes #4714.

the area will fit with the given constraints.

# e717a35b 10-Sep-2009 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

* Change the way we check for enough available space when searching for spots
to insert areas so we don't overflow.
* Consequently use the area end (base + size - 1) where appropriate which
prevents overflows in a few places.
* Properly check for reaching the address space end.
* If we've already found a spot we don't need to recheck if we've found one.
* Simplify the B_EXACT_ADDRESS checks down to a simpler single if statement
instead of the four seperate ones.
* Properly calculate the search end for B_EXACT_ADDRESS as well, it's also
base + size - 1.
* Block the full last page now that this actually works without overflowing.
* Some style changes and added spacing.

This should now really fix #2550. Previously the overflow protection didn't
actually work because on allocation we overflowed and completely missed the
protecting area.

# 9aff7f15 09-Sep-2009 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Block the very last page of kernel address space. The problem here is that non
of the VM functions handling areas are overflow safe. If an area is created that
spans across the last page many places will run into an integer overflow. This
mostly concerns the area allocation path in find_and_insert_area_slot() and also
vm_create_anonymous_area() where the loop for mapping pages for B_FULL_LOCK
areas overflows and runs more times than it should leading to #2550.
This could be seen as a workaround. The real fix would be to make everything
overflow safe. The thing is that this does also concern the user of the area
which could easily have forgotten to check for overflows as well, so I am a bit
uneasy with handing out areas that could easily lead to such hard to debug
problems. Since this is really an edge case and this single step safes quite a
bit of extra checks I'd actually be OK with keeping it that way.

# ea2abd11 02-Aug-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Renamed the ROUNDOWN macro to ROUNDDOWN. Also changed the implementation of
ROUNDUP to use '*' and '/' -- the compiler will optimize that for powers of
two anyway and this implementation works for other numbers as well.
* The thread::fault_handler use in C[++] code was broken with gcc 4. At least
when other functions were invoked. Trying to trick the compiler wasn't a
particularly good idea anyway, since the next compiler version could break
the trick again. So the general policy is to use the fault handlers only in
assembly code where we have full control. Changed that for x86 (save for the
vm86 mode, which has a similar mechanism), but not for the other
architectures.
* Introduced fault_handler, fault_handler_stack_pointer, and fault_jump_buffer
fields in the cpu_ent structure, which must be used instead of
thread::fault_handler in the kernel debugger. Consequently user_memcpy() must
not be used in the kernel debugger either. Introduced a debug_memcpy()
instead.
* Introduced debug_call_with_fault_handler() function which calls a function
in a setjmp() and fault handler context. The architecture specific backend
arch_debug_call_with_fault_handler() has only been implemented for x86 yet.
* Introduced debug_is_kernel_memory_accessible() for use in the kernel
debugger. It determines whether a range of memory can be accessed in the
way specified. The architecture specific back end
arch_vm_translation_map_is_kernel_page_accessible() has only been implemented
for x86 yet.
* Added arch_debug_unset_current_thread() (only implemented for x86) to unset
the current thread pointer in the kernel debugger. When entering the kernel
debugger we do some basic sanity checks of the currently set thread structure
and unset it, if they fail. This allows certain commands (most importantly
the stack trace command) to avoid accessing the thread structure.
* x86: When handling a double fault, we do now install a special handler for
page faults. This allows us to gracefully catch faulting commands, even if
e.g. the thread structure is toast.

We are now in much better shape to deal with double faults. Hopefully avoiding
the triple faults that some people have been experiencing on their hardware
and ideally even allowing to use the kernel debugger normally.

# eb0262fc 28-May-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Reworked vm_soft_fault() and friends:
- While walking down the cache chain, we keep all upper caches locked.
- When we have to unlock -- when waiting for a busy page or reading a page in
-- we unlock completely, including the address space, and restart
vm_soft_fault().
- Folded fault_get_page() and fault_find_page() into one.
This simplifies and improves things considerably:
- We no longer need dummy pages.
- We no longer need vm_area::no_cache_change.
- #2710 is fixed, since we no longer hold the address space lock while
waiting.
* vm_soft_fault(): When we have found our page, we first check whether a page
is already mapped at the address. If it is already our page, we just change
its protection. If not, we unmap it first. Fixes race conditions when multiple
threads fault at the same address at the same time.
* fault_get_page(): When copying a read-only page from a lower cache, no longer
mark it active, since at least for the fault area it is shadowed from then on.
* vm_set_area_protection(): Fixed potential overflow for in the
vm_translation_map::protect() call.

didn't have any (copy&paste bug). We cannot use it without reserved pages,
as we need to call vm_page_allocate_page() with a cache locked.
* No longer use low_resource_state() to determine whether to precache or not,
but use the new vm_page_num_used_pages() instead.
* Also don't (try to) precache when the cache already has more than 2/3 of its
pages to safe some unnecessary work.
* The size to precache was limited to the file size incorrectly.
* When precaching failed, the cache reference was not released.
* The precaching started one page too late, causing bug #3835.

axeld:
* Implemented a way to do asynchronous pre-fetching when mapping files.
* There are slight code duplications in some places that could benefit
from cleaning up, but nothing too bad.
* Implementing smarter ways to trigger prefetching and more analysis of
the situations in the kernel would be nice. Currently up to 10 MB
of every mapped file are pre-fetched without further analysis.
* The speed improvement is nice for certain operations. On our test
system (real hardware), Firefox took 9 seconds from being launched
to display a window. Now it takes 5 seconds. Both measurements
right after booting. The same system took 35 seconds from launching
Haiku in the GRUB menu to displaying the Tracker desktop background
image. Now it takes 27 seconds.
* We didn't have the chance to check out the effects of this on the
CD boot, but potentially, they could speed it up a lot.

# 47c40a10 19-Oct-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Prefixed memset_physical() and memcpy_to_physical() with "vm_",
added vm_memcpy_from_physical() and vm_memcpy_physical_page(), and
added respective functions to the vm_translation_map operations. The
architecture specific implementation can now decide how to implement
them most efficiently. Added generic implementations that can be used,
though.
* Changed vm_{get,put}_physical_page(). The former no longer accepts
flags (the only flag PHYSICAL_PAGE_DONT_WAIT wasn't needed anymore).
Instead it returns an implementation-specific handle that has to be
passed to the latter. Added vm_{get,put}_physical_page_current_cpu()
and *_debug() variants, that work only for the current CPU,
respectively when in the kernel debugger. Also adjusted the
vm_translation_map operations accordingly.
* Made consequent use of the physical memory operations in the source
tree.
* Also adjusted the m68k and ppc implementations with respect to the
vm_translation_map operation changes, but they are probably broken,
nevertheless.
* For x86 the generic physical page mapper isn't used anymore. It is
suboptimal in any case. For systems with small memory it is too much
overhead, since one can just map the complete physical memory (that's
not done yet, though). For systems with large memory it counteracts
the VM strategy to reuse the least recently used pages. Since those
pages will most likely not be mapped by the page mapper anymore, it
will keep remapping chunks. This was also the reason why building
Haiku in Haiku was significantly faster with only 256 MB RAM (since
that much could be kept mapped all the time).
Now we're using a different strategy: We have small pools of virtual
page slots per CPU that are used for the physical page operations
(memset_physical(), memcpy_*_physical()) with CPU-pinned thread.
Furthermore we have four slots per translation map, which are used to
map page tables.

These changes speed up the Haiku image build in Haiku significantly. On
my Core2 Duo 2.2 GHz 2 GB machine about 40% to 20 min 40 s (KDEBUG
disabled, block cache debug disabled). Still more than factor 3 slower
than FreeBSD and Linux, though.

# 7805eb0c 27-Sep-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Changed the handling for hardware-caused terminal signals:
* No longer send a SIGKILL when a page fault occurred, there was no
signal handler, and the debugger told us to continue as usual. Instead
we send a SIGSEGV. Instead in handle_signal() when not in the main
thread and there's no handler for the signal, we first send the main
thread a SIGKILL before letting the thread die.
So in cases where the main thread caused an unhandled page fault, the
team will die from the SIGSEGV, now. This fixes bug #2773.
* For the other hardware-caused signals we do now do the same as in case
of page faults, i.e. we first check whether the thread has a handler
for the signal in question. If so, we don't notify the debugger, but
send the signal right away.
* B_GENERAL_PROTECTION_FAULT is translated to SIGILL now. Seems better
than SIGKILL.

don't wait for memory or pages to become available. They fail
immediately instead.

# 1cda5944 20-Aug-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Added object_cache_set_minimum_reserve() which sets the minimal number
of free objects an object cache should try to have ready. If the number
of free objects drops below the threshold, a new urgent priority thread
is asked to asynchronously resize the object cache (pretty similar to
the heap grower thread). Such a mechanism is necessary for code paths
that are supposed to free pages, but may need memory themselves (like
the swap support).

# 8d12bd13 05-Aug-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Moved the incrementing/decrementing of vm_page::wired_count into
dedicated functions.
* Introduced gMappedPagesCount variable which counts the total number of
physical pages that are mapped.
* Added vm_page_get_stats() which fills in the memory related part of
the system_info structure. Used and cached pages are computed
differently, now. The "available" (== not committed) memory is no
longer used for the computation as it doesn't say anything about the
actually used/free pages (with swap support enabled it is even
less meaningful, since we first commit swap space when possible).
We do also consider the memory used by the block cache as cached
pages, now. All in all these changes should fix the memory statistics
reported by get_system_info(), IOW bug #2574.

# 57f2b5a0 05-Aug-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Changed the meaning of the {KERNEL,USER}_STACK_SIZE macros to not
include the guard pages. Adjusted the kernel and boot loader code
accordingly -- the guard pages size is added/not removed respectively.
The stack size passed to _kern_spawn_thread() is now the actually usable
size, and it is no longer possible to specify a size smaller than or
equal to the guard pages size.
* vm_create_anonymous_area(): Precommit two pages maximum -- a stack with
only one page usable size obviously doesn't need two pages.

# c421c138 02-Aug-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

vm_create_anonymous_area():
* Moved reservation of memory for the "locked" cases upfront.
Particularly if the would-be area is a kernel area, we don't want the
address space to be write locked while doing that, since that would
block the low memory handler.
* For full lock areas the pages are reserved upfront, too. The reasoning
is similar. Reserve the pages needed by the translation map backend for
mapping the area pages there too.
* Moved the cache locking/unlocking out of the individual cases. All
want to have the cache locked the whole time, now.

* Added "boolean getNewReference" parameter to the vm_address_space*
versions of the AddressSpaceReadLocker constructor and SetTo(). When
true it will get a new reference to the address space.
* Changed vm_soft_fault(): Now it gets the address space as a
parameter (for page faults getting it happens in vm_page_fault()).
This should fix lock_memory_etc() for other teams -- it used the
correct address space before, but the invoked vm_soft_fault() always
used the current team's address space.

Patch by Zhao Shuai with changes by myself:
* Init swap support in main().
* Added "bool swappable" parameter to
VMCacheFactory::CreateAnonymousCache(). A cache supporting swapping
is created when true. Adjusted invocations accordingly.
* The page writer does now write non-locked swappable pages (when
memory is low).
* Fixed header guard of VMAnonymousNoSwapCache.h.
* Swap support is compiled conditionally, controlled by the
ENABLE_SWAP_SUPPORT in src/system/kernel/vm/VMAnonymousCache.h. It is
disabled ATM. Since no swap files are added, it wouldn't have much
effect anyway.

# 5c99d639 22-Jul-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

Merged branch haiku/branches/developer/bonefish/vm into trunk. This
introduces the following relevant changes:
* VMCache:
- Renamed vm_cache to VMCache, merged it with vm_store and made it a
C++ class with virtual methods (replacing the store operations).
Turned the different store implementations into subclasses.
- Introduced MergeStore() callback, changed semantics of Commit().
- Changed locking and referencing semantics. A reference can only be
acquired/released with the cache locked. An unreferenced cache is
deleted and a mergeable cache merged when it is unlocked. This
removes the "busy" state of a cache and simplifies the page fault
code.
* Added VMAnonymousCache, which will implement swap support (work by
Zhao Shuai). It is not integrated and used yet, though.
* Enabled the mutex/recursive lock holder asserts.
* Fixed DoublyLinkedList::Swap().
* Generalized the low memory handler to a low resource handler. And made
semaphores and reserved memory handled resources. Made
vm_try_resource_memory() optionally wait (with timeout), and used that
feature to reserve memory for areas.

that the cache isn't deleted while trying to get a reference. Instead
of the global cache pages hash table lock, it holds the global cache
list lock now. We acquire + release this lock in delete_cache() after
removing all pages and just before deleting the object.
* Some small optimizations using the property that the cache's pages are
ordered, now (vm_cache_resize(), vm_page_write_modified_page_range(),
vm_page_schedule_write_page_range()).
* Replaced some code counting a cache's pages by simply using
vm_cache::page_count.

# df7096a4 18-Jun-2008 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

* Added malloc_nogrow() function that does allocation without triggering or
waiting for a heap grow.
* Use that nogrow version in the VM code to avoid a deadlock with the address
space lock when a grow operation would try to create an area while a malloc
happened from such a function in the VM.
* When waiting for a grow to happen, notify the waiting thread from the grower
also if it failed to allocate a new heap. Otherwise a thread would just sit
there and wait until another thread requested growing too and that one
succeeded (or just forever in the worst case).
* Make the dedicated grow heap growable too. If the current grow heaps run low
on memory it will instruct the grower to allocate a new grow heap. This
reduces the likelyhood of running out of memory with no way to grow to a
minimum. As the growing is done asynchronously it is still possible to
happen, but it is highly unlikely as the grow heap is solely used to
allocate memory in the process of creating new heap areas and it will even
try using normal public memory if the dedicated memory has run out.
* Reduced the dedicated grow heap from 2 to 1MB. As it can now grow itself, it
doesn't need to last so long.
* Extract heap creation into it's own function that does area creation and heap
attach and use this function for growing normal and grow heaps.

As they are all initialized statically through the MUTEX_INITIALIZER() now

Improved the "caches" command:

root cache.
* Also print the amount of committed memory per cache (and the sum for
the tree), and allow sorting the list by it ("-c" switch).

* Renamed syscall sys_vm_map_file() to _kern_map_file() and changed the
path to an FD parameter. Changed vm_map_file() accordingly and
adjusted the kernel ELF loader and the runtime loader.
* Added syscall _kern_unmap_memory().
* Added bool unmapAddressRange parameter to vm_create_anonymous_area()
and map_backing_store(). If true and the address specification is
B_EXACT_ADDRESS, all areas in the specified address range will be
deleted (unless an area is covered only partially).
* Introduced B_SHARED_AREA flag, which is set on areas that have been
created by {vm,_user}_map_file() with REGION_NO_PRIVATE_MAP. When
fork()ing those areas won't be copied CoW, but rather be cloned. This
is needed for mmap() MAP_SHARED.
* {vm,_user}_map_file() also accept an FD argument < 0, in which case an
anonymous area is created.
* Implemented mmap() and munmap(). Currently there's the restriction
that we can't partially unmap areas. Otherwise the functions should be
rather compliant. We also support the non-POSIX extension
MAP_ANONYMOUS.

# d1189f0b 08-Mar-2008 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Naive implementation of transfer_area(). It follows the suggested sematics
of the resolved ToDo, but could probably be made more efficient. Instead of
transfering the area, the area is cloned into the target teams' address space
and the original is deleted. This generates a new area_id for the transfered
area (as suggested by the ToDo). Updated syscall prototypes according to the
status_t to area_id return type change.

# 5c4d1c5e 10-Feb-2008 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Complete rework of the heap implementation. Freelists are now part of the pages
and pages are now kept in lists as well. This allows to return free pages once
a bin does not need them anymore. Partially filled pages are kept in a sorted
linked list so that allocation will always happen on the fullest page - this
favours having full pages and makes it more likely lightly used pages will get
completely empty so they can be returned. Generally this now goes more in the
direction of a slab allocator.
The allocation logic has been extracted, so a heap is now simply attachable to
a region of memory. This allows for multiple heaps and for dynamic growing. In
case the allocator runs out of free pages, an asynchronous growing thread is
notified to create a new area and attach a new heap to it.
By default the kernel heap is now set to 16MB and grows by 8MB each time all
heaps run full.
This should solve quite a few issues, like certain bins just claiming all pages
so that even if there is free space nothing can be allocated. Also it obviously
does aways with filling the heap page by page until it overgrows.
I think this is now a well performing and scalable allocator we can live with
for quite some time. It is well tested under emulation and real hardware and
performs as expected. If problems come up there is an extensive sanity checker
that can be enabled by PARANOID_VALIDATION that covers most aspects of the
allocator. For normal operation this is not necessary though and is therefore
disabled by default.

Made Haiku behave better when you have more memory:
* with 1 GB or more, the semaphore limit is now 131072 instead of 65536.
* double the heap when there is 1 GB or more (64 MB).
* the low memory handler now also watches semaphore usage; in the end,
we need a low resource handler, not a low memory handler.
* create_sem_etc() no longer calls vfs_free_unused_vnodes() directly as
this could actually deadlock (at least because the address space is a
R/W lock, not a recursive lock).

# 3d268eda 10-Nov-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Extracted file_map API out of the file cache - it's now an optional service
that can be used by file systems.
* Changed the way the file cache works: instead of reading/writing to the
underlying device directly, it can now be used for any data source, ie.
also network file systems.
* As a result, the former pages_io() moved to the VFS layer, and can now be
called by a file system via {read|write}_file_io_vec_pages() (naming
suggestions are always welcomed :-)). It now gets an FD, and uses that to
communicate with the device (via its fs_{read|write}_pages() hooks).
* The file_cache_{read|write}() functions must now be called without holding
an I/O relevant file system lock. That allows the file cache to prepare the
pages without colliding with the page writer, IOW the "mayBlock" flag can
go into the attic again (yay!).
* This also results in a much better performance when the system does I/O and
is low on memory, as the page writer can now finally write back some pages,
and that even without maxing out the CPU :)
* The API changes put slightly more burden on the fs_{read|write}_pages()
hooks, but in combination with the file_map it's still pretty straight
forward. It just will have to dispatch the call to the underlying device
directly, usually it will just call its fs_{read|write}_pages() hooks
via the above mentioned calls.
* Ported BFS and FAT to the new API, the latter has not been tested, though.
* Also ported the API changes to the fs_shell. I also completely removed its
file cache level page handling - the downside is that device access is no
longer cached (ie. depends on the host OS now), the upside is that the code
is greatly simplified.

vm_test_map_{modification|activation}(), vm_clear_map_flags(), and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings() all computed the wrong virtual address for the
page in question, and would therefore return incorrect data!
Introduced a virtual_page_address() function that is now used by all of them.
So that's why we were still "losing" modified flags - it took me some hours
to find those (sometimes processes died after stealing pages)...

* vm_set_area_protection() would remap the whole area instead of just the page
it intended to. That resulted in more writable pages where you wouldn't want
them (ie. allowing the area to change pages in lower caches).
* We were losing modified pages: vm_unmap_pages() sometimes has to preserve
the modified flag (eg. when called from page fault).
* Both of these were responsible that stealing active pages would crash
applications - even if less likely, this could also have happened when
stealing inactive pages. Therefore, I've activated stealing active pages
again.
* The page writer now pushes the pages of busy vnodes to the end of the queue,
so that it won't pick them up again too soon (the vnode destruction would
be in the process of writing those pages back, anyway).
* The page thief now triggers the page writer to run once it has to steal
active pages. This might be a bit too aggressive, though.

# 0e183340 06-Oct-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Mapping a page might actually need memory - since we usually have locks that
interfere with the page thief, we always need to have reserved a page for
this upfront. I introduced a function to the vm_translation_map layer that
estimates how much pages a mapping might need at maximum. All functions that
map a page now call this and reserve the needed pages upfront.
It might not be a nice solution, but it works.
* The page thief could run into a panic when trying to call vm_cache_release_ref()
on a non-existing (NULL) cache.
* Also, it will now ignore wired active pages.
* There is still a race condition between the page writer and the vnode
destruction - writing a page back needs a valid vnode, but that might just
have been deleted.

bonefish+axeld:
* We now have a page writer that takes some pages from the modified queue
and writes it back every few seconds. It can be triggered by the page
scanner to do that more often, though. That mechanism can be greatly
improved once we have our I/O scheduler working.
* Removed vm_page_write_modified_page() again - it was all "eaten up" by
the page writer.
* Reworked vm_page_write_modified_pages() a bit: it now uses
vm_test_map_modification() and vm_clear_map_flags() instead of the
iterating over all areas which wouldn't even work correctly.
The code is much simpler now, too.
* You usually put something to the tail of a queue, and remove the contents
from the head, not vice versa - changed queue implementation to reflect this.
* Additionally, there is now a enqueue_page_to_head() if you actually want the
opposite.
* vm_page_requeue() allows you to move a page in a queue to the head or tail.
* Replaced vm_clear_map_activation() with vm_clear_map_flags() which allows
you to clear other flags than PAGE_ACCESSED.
* The page scanner dumps now some arguments with each run.

* vm_page_allocate_page() now resets the vm_page::usage_count, so that the file
cache does not need to do this in read_chunk_into_cache() and
write_chunk_to_cache().
* In cache_io() however, it need to update the usage_count - and it does that
now. Since non-mapped caches don't have mappings, the page scanner will punish
the cache pages stronger than other pages which is accidently just what we
want.

# 6d4aea47 25-Sep-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

bonefish+axeld:
* Removed the vm_cache/vm_store ref_count duality that besides being a bit ugly
also created the page dameon cache retrieval problem: now, only areas (and
cache consumers) retrieve a reference to the store (and therefore, the vnode).
The page daemon doesn't need to care about this at all anymore, and the pseudo
references of the vm_cache could be removed again.
* Rearranged deletion of vnodes such that its ID can be reused directly after
fs_remove_vnode() has been called.
* vm_page_allocate_page() no longer panics when it runs out of pages, but just
waits for new pages to become available using the new sFreeCondition condition
variable - to make sure this happens in an acceptable time frame, it'll
trigger a run of the low memory handlers.
* Implemented a page_thief() that steals inactive pages from caches and puts
them into the free queue. It runs as a low memory handler.
* The file cache now sets the usage count on the pages it inserts into the
cache (needs some rework though, cache_io() doesn't do it yet).
* Instead of panicking, the kernel will currently dead lock in low memory
situations, since BFS does a bit too much in bfs_release_vnode().
* Some minor cleanup.

* Removed unused vm_page::busy_{reading|writing} fields.
* Fixed vm_page_allocate_page_run(): it did not take the pageState into account,
and would therefore return uninitialized memory (ie. B_CONTIGUOUS areas would
contain garbage).
Now, it stores if a page is cleared in a new vm_page::is_cleared field.
* Some cleanup.

# 87689e25 03-Sep-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* sMappingLock is now a mutex instead of a spinlock.
* The vm_translation_map is now correctly held in all of the vm_ mapping
functions.
* Removed the old vm_daemons.c file - there is now a new vm_daemons.cpp
which contains the beginnings of our new page daemon.
So far, it's pretty static and not much tested. What it currently does
is to rescan all pages in the system with a two-handed clock algorithm
and push pages into the modified and inactive lists.
* These inactive pages aren't really stolen yet, even though their mappings
are removed (ie. their next access will cause a page fault). This should
slow down Haiku a bit more, great, huh? :-)
* The page daemon currently only runs on low memory situations, though.

# d2056c99 02-Sep-2007 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added "caches" debugger command (to be enable by defining
DEBUG_CACHE_LIST) that prints an unspectacular list of pointers to all
existing caches. Feel free to extend.
* Enhanced MultiAddressSpaceLocker:
- It supports choosing between read and write lock per address space,
now.
- Added AddAreaCacheAndLock(), which adds the address spaces of all
areas that are attached to a given area's cache, locks them, and
locks the cache. It makes sure that the area list didn't change in
the meantime and optionally also that all areas have their
no_cache_change flags cleared.
* Changed vm_copy_on_write_area() to take a cache instead of an area,
requiring it to be locked and all address spaces of affected areas to
be read-locked, plus all areas' no_cache_change flags to be cleared.
Callers simply use MultiAddressSpaceLocker:: AddAreaCacheAndLock() to
do that. This resolves an open TODO, that the areas' base, size, and
protection fields were accessed without their address spaces being
locked.
* vm_copy_area() does now always insert a cache for the target area. Not
doing that would cause source and target area being attached to
the same cache in case the target protection was read-only. This
would make them behave like cloned areas, which would lead to trouble
when one of the areas would be changed to writable later.
* Fixed the !writable -> writable case in vm_set_area_protection(). It
would simply change the protection of all mapped pages for this area,
including ones from lower caches, thus causing later writes to the
area to be seen by areas that shouldn't see them. This fixes a problem
with software breakpoints in gdb. They could cause other programs to
be dropped into the debugger.
* resize_area() uses MultiAddressSpaceLocker::AddAreaCacheAndLock() now,
too, and could be compacted quite a bit.

* creating (or dividing) reserved areas did not acquire a ref to an address
space - but they were released upon deletion. It's probably not really
needed, but now all reserved areas also grab a reference to their address
space.
* Rearranged team tear down to be a bit more sane: the I/O context is removed
first (where semaphores/areas/ports/whatever might still be used), and the
address space is deleted last.
* delete_area() can now remove its address space reference again (due to the
two changes above), and therefore fixes bug #1374.
* cleaned up vm_address_space.c a bit (no functional change there, though).

* vm_soft_fault() no longer sets all pages it touches to "active"; instead, it now honours
if the page was already in the "modified" list before. Also, the source page (which is
either mapped directly or copied to the target page) is no longer marked busy before its
final destiny is decided (it didn't have any effect, anyway, since we had its cache
locked for the whole time, but it now preserves the modified state). This fixes bug #1369.
* vm_cache_write_modified() now filters out temporary caches (it's currently called on area
deletion).

Since get_memory_map() can run with interrupts turned off, it can't put up

reference, since it always runs in the current address space, which cannot
go away for obvious reasons.

# 69bee56c 08-Aug-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* get_memory_map() leaked vm_address_space references
* fixes a dead lock in vm_soft_fault() - the locking scheme enforces you to
lock the address space before a vm_cache, not the other way, around. Since
we need to lock the cache that has our page in fault_get_page(), we violated
that scheme by relocking the address space in order to get access to the
vm_area. Now, we read lock the address space during the whole page fault;
added a TODO that explains why this might not really be desirable, if
we can avoid it (the only way would be to reverse that locking scheme
which would potentially cause the more busy vm_cache locks to be held
longer).
* vm_copy_area() uses the MultiAddressSpaceLocker, but actually forget to
call Lock() on it...
* delete_area() leaks vm_address_space references - but fixing this currently
causes other problems to be investigated; I'll open a bug for that.

# 5af1dda7 07-Aug-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

bonefish+axeld:
* Removed the ref_count from vm_areas. You now always need to have the address
space locked (read or write, depending on what you do) when dealing with
areas.
* Added helper classes for locking the address space: AddressSpace{Read|Write}Locker,
and MultiAddressSpaceLocker which can lock several spaces at once and makes
sure no dead locks can happen.
* resize_area() is now using the MultiAddressSpaceLocker instead of no locking
at all; ie. it should now be safely to use.
* Disabled transfer_area() for now; it will be changed to work like an atomic
clone_area()/delete_area(), that is, it will hand out a new ID for the
transfered area.

# 2ac748da 06-Aug-2007 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Changed the signatures of fault_get_page() and fault_find_page(), so
that an error can be propagated back to vm_soft_fault().
* Added boolean restart reference parameter to fault_find_page() which
is set to true whenever a condition is it encountered that requires
to start fault_find_page() from the very beginning. fault_get_page()
checks the flag and executes fault_find_page() in a loop, now.
* Removed the panic()s+TODOs in fault_find_page() when a cache became
busy. The restart feature is used in this case.
* fault_find_page(): If after the loop we haven't found a page yet,
and after locking the right cache one turned up, we restart the
function, too, thus avoiding double insertion of a page into a cache.
* Fixed potential dead-lock in fault_get_page(): After inserting a clean
page into a cache other than the top cache (read fault on
copy-on-write area not backed by a file (e.g. the heap)) the dummy
page was removed from the to be locked top cache while we still held a
lock for the lower cache, thus inverting the locking direction
required by the cache locking policy (top -> bottom).
* fault_get_page(): In case of a write access and a readable page found
in a lower cache, vm_cache_remove_consumer() could have replaced our
dummy page with a real page from a collapsed lower cache while we
had unlocked both caches. We didn't check for this condition and
always inserted our freshly allocated page, thus potentially inserting
a duplicate page into the top cache. We do the check now and discard our
page, when another page turned up. Fixes bug #1359.
* fault_get_page(), same if block: Removed unused case for removal of the
dummy page from a non-top cache. We only ever insert it into the top
cache and it should not be moved to another cache. Added an assert.

fault_find_page(): Fixed a race condition in case of reading the page
from the store into the top cache, which could lead to pages inserted
multiple times into the cache. We don't insert a dummy page in this case
anymore. Instead we mark a freshly allocated page busy and insert that
one. That's exactly the approach the file cache uses too. This does
probably make the whole dummy page special handling in the file cache
obsolete.

axeld + bonefish:
* More conditional debug code (wrt page transitions between caches).
* Replaced debugger command cache_chain by a nicer cache_tree.
* While handling a soft fault: When we temporarily unlock a cache, it
can theoretically become busy. One such occurrence is now handled
properly, two more panic() ATM, though should be fixed.
* When merging caches, we do now always replace a dummy page in the
upper cache, not only when the concurrent page fault is a read fault.
This prevents a page from the lower (to be discarded) cache from still
remaining mapped (causing a panic).
* When merging caches and replacing a dummy page, we were trying to
remove the dummy page from the wrong cache (causing a panic).

The Haiku kernel seems now to run shockingly stable. ATM, we have more
than two hours uptime of a system booted and running over network. We
didn't manage to get it down by fully building Pe, downloading, unzipping,
and playing with various stuff. Someone should finally fix all those app
server drawing bugs, though (hint, hint! ;-)).

it's reference to the cache until it has unlocked it.
* It now also locks its reference from the start, preventing any other thread
to interfere.
* vm_cache_remove_consumer() now detects if it has to remove a foreign busy
page itself in order to preserve a mapped page.
* vm_soft_fault() now keeps a reference to the cache that owns the page to be
mapped until it has actually mapped it.
* vm_unmap_pages() removed the mappings of all pages of the area instead of only
those that are within the requested range.
* Kept (disabled) debug output for convenience.

# 529bf404 21-Mar-2007 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

In a copy-on-write situation a page from a lower cache must always be
mapped fully read-only (for both kernel and userland). Previously a
kernel read access to a yet unmapped r/w accessible userland address
would cause the page from the lower cache to be mapped with write
permission for userland (on x86 also for the kernel) thus e.g.
allowing a fork()ed child process to write to the parent process'
memory.

Fixes bugs #113 and #928.

size, the last page was ignored. A subsequent get_memory_map() would
return NULL as physical address for that page, if it hadn't been mapped

device into an unaligned buffer that hadn't been touched before would
hit that problem. Fixes bug #1075. Might also fix other reported
problems (like #1056), since this bug could have cause all kinds of weird

* vm_clone_area() now respects the source area's wiring and inherits it. This
should fix bug #1055.
* vm_cache::type is now duplicated in vm_area::cache_type - this allows looking
it up without having to lock a vm_cache_ref; this also solves a locking bug
in vm_unmap_pages() in this regard.

# ca954b78 28-Feb-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Another work-in-progress towards having extra structures per mapping per page:
* vm_area and vm_page now have a new field "mappings" where they will store lists
of vm_page_mapping structures. vm_page::ref_count is gone, as it's no longer
needed (it was never updated correctly, anyway).
* vm_caches now have a type field, ie. CACHE_TYPE_RAM for anonymous areas - this
makes the stores a bit less independent, but is quite handy in several places.
* Added new vm_map_page() and vm_unmap_pages() functions to be used whenever you
map in or unmap pages into/from an area. They don't do much more than handling
vm_page::wired_count correctly right now, though (ie. B_LAZY_LOCK is now working
as expected as well).
* Moved the device fault handler to vm_map_physical_memory(); it was not really
used as a fault handler, anyway.
* Didn't notice Ingo's changes to the I/O space region broke lock_memory(). It
now checks the type of the area that contains the memory, and doesn't lock
anymore if not needed which solves the problem in a platform independent way.
* Implemented lock_memory() and unlock_memory() for real: they now change the
vm_page::wired_count member to identify pages that shouldn't be paged out.
* vm_area_for() now uses vm_area_lookup() internally.
* Fixed various potential overflow conditions with areas that reach 0xffffffff.
* Creating anonymous areas with B_FULL_LOCK no longer causes vm_soft_fault()
to be called, instead, the pages are allocated and mapped (via vm_map_page())
directly.
* Removed the _vm_ prefix for create_area_struct() and create_reserved_area_struct().
* Fixed a bug in vm_page_write_modified() that would not have enqueued pages that
failed to be written to the modified queue again when needed.

vm_alloc_from_kernel_args()) which now allows you to specify a different
virtual than physical size, and therefore makes vm_alloc_virtual_from_kernel_args()
superfluous (which isn't exported anymore, and is now called allocate_early_virtual()).

# fe70b87d 31-Jan-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Fixed a couple of issues in our VM:
* we now always flush the TLBs after having unmapped some pages.
* vm_soft_fault() could traverse to a source cache while it was being collapsed
by vm_cache_remove_consumer() - this is now no longer possible as the latter
marks the cache as busy when doing so, and the former now tests this flag and
locks the cache (via the new fault_acquire_locked_source() function).
* if fault_acquire_locked_source() fails with B_BUSY, the current cache is locked
again, and tested again for the page - as it might have been moved upwards to it
with the destruction of its former source.
* The cache delivering the page for vm_soft_fault() is now locked until the end;
it can no longer go away before having actually mapped the page into the area.
* This also fixes the issue where pages would get lost as vm_soft_fault() put the
page in the active list, no matter if its cache still existed.
* Also, we now keep a reference of to a cache in case a dummy page is inserted; this
makes again sure that it doesn't go away during the execution of vm_soft_fault()
(which could even add this page to the free list...).
* divided vm_soft_fault() into several smaller functions which should make it much
more readable.
* Added a "cache_chain" KDL command that dumps the whole chain until the bottom
when giving a pointer to a vm_cache as parameter.
* now usually call vm_cache_acquire_ref() before map_backing_store(), even though
it shouldn't be really needed (I added it for debugging purposes).
* Some minor cleanup.
* NOTE: a major problem still persists: when removing a vm_cache, it's possible
that some of its pages are still mapped, and there is currently no mechanism
to get rid of these mappings! I've added TODO comments into vm_cache.c where
appropriate.

Moved locking into map_backing_store() - it now gets a vm_cache_ref instead of a vm_store,
so that this can be done safely.
It was also needed, as it would call vm_cache_release_ref() on failure which requires you
to have no vm_cache_ref locks around (as it might deadlock in this case).

# 647b1f70 14-Jan-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* vm_copy_on_write_area() did not always correctly divide the ref_count of the
two cache_refs - it needs to count the consumers of the lower cache to find
its actual number of references; the upper cache could still be in use by
someone else.
* There were several locking bugs in the VM code; since cache_ref::cache can
change, we must not access it without having the cache_ref locked.
* As a result, map_backing_store() now requires you to have the lock of the
store's cache_ref held.
* And therefore, some functions in vm_cache.c must no longer lock the cache_ref
on their own, but require the caller to have it locked already.
* Added the -s option to the cache/cache_ref KDL commands: it will only print
the requested structure, and not its counterpart (useful if accessing one
structure results in a page fault, as was possible previously).

* no longer get the cache's source without having the cache locked.

# c4546ea0 18-Dec-2006 Travis Geiselbrecht <geist@foobox.com>

A fix for the double-fault on bootup:
-Turns out the area removal routine had a massive race condition inside
vm_put_area(). Basically the area was removed from the address space's
area list before the pages were unmapped, so the vm could (and would)
recycle the space before the pages were finally unmapped.

It was completely reproducable on my machine during initialization of a bunch
of storage drivers that were bringing the locked_pool module into and out of
existence, which caused a thread to be spawned and stopped in rapid sucession.
On a dual processor machine, it was possible for the new thread to be started
up while the old one was still shutting down, and the kernel stack of the new
one would get wiped out.

Note, there still is a page ref counting problem with this area removal code.
It doesn't decrement the ref count of the page as it unmaps it. Will have to
figure that out.

First steps towards being able of collapse vm_cache objects after forking:
* a vm_cache now maintains a list of its "consumer" caches.
* introduced to new functions that add/remove consumer to a cache (instead
of only maintaining the vm_cache::source field).
* fixed the incorrect reference counting when doing copy-on-write; we kept
one ref too many of the lower cache.
* minor cleanup.

* Reverted the changes r17693 made to vfs_get_vnode_cache(); instead, vm_create_vnode_cache()
will now grab a reference to the vnode as well if successful. This way, vfs_get_vnode_cache()
now actually works how it should: it will now always grab a reference to the cache and
its underlying vnode. This removes an extra reference to the vnode (and vm_cache) that
got ignored before and prevented volumes to be unmounted (or file caches to be removed).
Thanks to Korli for pointing this out.
* file_cache_create() is now aware of that extra vnode reference and releases it; unmounting
volumes is now working again as it should.

_vm_map_file() did in fact not work correctly, but the main problem was
vfs_get_vnode_cache() which did not acquire an extra reference to the
cache_ref when the cache had to be created.

map_backing_store() did not acquire a cache ref in case it created a private
mapping, but it connected the vm_cache objects, so if it failed later, and
thus called vm_cache_release_ref() the object could have been freed accidently.
Most uses of map_backing_store() explicetly acquired a cache_ref *after* the
call was successful, but _vm_map_file() did not do this.
_vm_map_file() might still not work correctly, though, need to have a closer
look at it.

Implemented quite a hack to solve the lockless get_memory_map() problem (bug #349):
when called with interrupts turned off, get_memory_map() will now call the new
vm_translation_map_ops::query_interrupt() call.
Under PPC, this is trivial (at least right now), but on x86 we need to make sure
we have access to the page table entry, ie. we need to create an area that points
to its own page table entry, so that we can map in the page table entry containing
the address we're looking for. It's not really nice, feel free to come up with
a cleaner solution :-)

This fixes a locking problem in BFS where one thread tried to acquire two read

at the same time we're trying to read/write from/to a page, we no longer
fight for the BFS inode lock, but eventually doing the job twice if needed.

# ea2cd27e 21-Dec-2005 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

* Fixed the strange vm_cache_ref reference count mechanism: now, a fresh
vm_cache_ref starts with a reference count of 1. When acquiring a vm_cache,
you no longer need to worry if that should go through the vm_store, or not;
as it now always does.
* map_backing_store() no longer needs to play with the vm_cache_ref
references.
* that simplified some code.
* vfs_get_vnode_cache() now grabs a reference to the cache, if successful.
* better balanced vnode ownership on vnode_store creation (vnode_store
released the vnode before if its creation failed).

* vm_page::offset is now called cache_offset and is now an uint32 instead of off_t;
this saves 4 bytes per page. To compensate the loss of bytes, the offset is now
stored in page size units, that's enough to address 2^44 or 16 TB (which is now
the maximal supported file size!).
* Renamed vm_page::ppn to physical_page_number.

them apart (this even saves a pointer from vm_virtual_map to its address space)
* aspace -> address_space
* vm_create_address_space() did not check if creating the semaphore succeeded
* Removed team::kaspace - was not really needed (introduced a new vm_kernel_address_space()
function that doesn't grab a reference to the address space)
* Removed vm_address_space::name - it was just a copy of the team name, anyway,
and there is always only one address space per team
* Removed aspace_id - the address space is now using the team_id
* Some cleanup.

# 9d845483 19-Dec-2005 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Got rid of two ToDo-items: instead of clearing the PAGE_MODIFIED flag after having
written the page, we now do it before, so that it cannot lose any changed data
anymore; it doesn't matter if the page is written to while writing it back, the
worst thing that can happen is that we write the same page twice. Also, we don't
rely on the PAGE_MODIFIED bit anymore, we now check all mappings of that page
to find all modified pages, no matter how far the (currently disabled) page
daemon had come.
Also, destroying an area will now result in writing back changed pages - this
is only really important for memory mapped files, though, and should probably
be avoided for other vm_store types.
Minor cleanup.

# 51a3c450 13-Dec-2005 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

The short story: we now have MTRR support on Intel and AMD CPUs (the latter
has not yet been tested, though - I'll do this after this commit):
* Removed the arch_memory_type stuff from vm_area; since there are only 8 memory
ranges on x86, it's simply overkill. The MTRR code now remembers the area ID
and finds the MTRR that way (it could also iterate over the existing MTRRs).
* Introduced some post_modules() init functions.
* If the other x86 CPUs out there don't differ a lot, MTRR functionality might
be put back into the kernel.
* x86_write_msr() was broken, it wrote the 64 bit number with the 32 bit words
switched - it took me some time (and lots of #GPs) to figure that one out.
* Removed the macro read_ebp() and introduced a function x86_read_ebp()
(it's not really a time critical call).
* Followed the Intel docs on how to change MTRRs (symmetrically on all CPUs
with caches turned off).
* Asking for memory types will automatically change the requested length to
a power of two - note that BeOS seems to behave in the same, although that's
not really very clean.
* fixed MTRRs are ignored for now - we should make sure at least, though,
that they are identical on all CPUs (or turn them off, even though I'd
prefer the BIOS stuff to be uncacheable, which we don't enforce yet, though).

map_physical_memory() and its backend vm_map_physical_memory() did not map in the
pages, ie. they considered the areas to be B_LAZY_LOCK. But that doesn't really make
sense and potentially cause page faults where you wouldn't expect them (and where
it's not a good idea to trigger them).
Reworked display_mem() (used by the dw/db/ds commands in the kernel debugger) to
be a bit more sane, improved formatting, and allows it to work on non-existing
memory without a panic.
The "area" debugger command now also accepts an address (contained by the area)
as argument - and it will now always print out an error message if no matching
area could be found.
Replaced all dprintf() calls to kprintf() calls for the kernel debugger functions.

vfs_get_vnode_cache() now only allocates a new cache if requested: this
prevents the system to allocate caches for files that don't use or have
a file cache (ie. only those can be mmap()ed!).
Therefore, cache_prefetch() no longer crashes when trying to prefetch
files without a file cache.
read_into_cache() no longer does anything if the requested size is 0.
Fixed a bug in cache_prefetch_vnode(): if the cache couldn't be retrieved,
it put the vnode, but didn't own it (the caller does).

# 230a037e 19-Jul-2005 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Fixed a bad bug in vm_copy_on_write_area(): the area's cache offset was not taken
into account when remapping the pages read-only; it could have overwritten valid
page mappings this way. This was also the reason for the Terminal to crash - it
does now work as it should, although some keys don't work (like tab completion)).
vm_copy_area() no longer always sets B_KERNEL_WRITE_AREA if no kernel protection
was specified, but mirrors the userland protection (for example, the x86 MMU is
not able to have a page writable in kernel but not in userland). This caused
some areas to be read/write when read-only would have been enough.
vm_copy_area() now panics when vm_copy_on_write_area() fails - that's of course
no real solution, but it's bettern than letting it silently fail.

vm_soft_fault(): Avoid deadlock waiting for wired ranges

* VMArea::AddWaiterIfWired(): Replace the ignoreRange argument by a
flags argument and introduce (currently only) flag
IGNORE_WRITE_WIRED_RANGES. If specified, ranges wired for writing
are ignored. Ignoring just a single specified range doesn't cut it
in vm_soft_fault(), and there aren't any other users of that feature.
* vm_soft_fault(): When having to unmap a page of a lower cache, this
page cannot be wired for writing. So we can safely ignore all
writed-wired ranges, instead of just our own. We even have to do that
in case there's another thread that concurrently tries to write-wire
the same page, since otherwise we'd deadlock waiting for each other.

vm_soft_fault(): Avoid inconsistent state when seeing wired page

When we encounter a wired page that we'd have to unmap to map our newly
allocated one, we need to get rid of the latter before unlocking
everything and waiting for the wired page. Otherwise we'd leave things
in an inconsistent state (a page from an upper cache shadowing a mapped
page from a lower cache).

... in case we'd need to unmap a page that is wired.

Fixes the immediate issue of #10977. There's a problem remaining (as

the same time (which led to the assertion being triggered), they will
now deadlock, waiting for each other to remove the pre-registered
VMAreaWiredRange.

kernel: add generic wrapper for accessing user memory

This patch adds user_access() which can be used to gracefully handle
page faults that may happen when accessing user memory. It is used
by arch_cpu_user{memcpy, memset, strlcpy}() to allow using optimized
functions from the standard library.

Currently only x64 uses this, but nothing really is arch specific here.

vm: implement B_RANDOMIZED_BASE_ADDRESS address specification

B_RAND_BASE_ADDRESS is basically B_BASE_ADDRESS with non-deterministic created
area's base address.

Initial start address is randomized and then the algorithm looks for a large
enough free space in the interval [randomized start, end]. If it fails then
the search is repeated in the interval [original start, randomized start]. In
case it also fails the algorithm falls back to B_ANY_ADDRESS
(B_RANDOMIZED_ANY_ADDRESS when it is implemented) just like B_BASE_ADDRESS does.

Randomization range is limited by kMaxRandomize and kMaxInitialRandomize.

Fixed possible NULL dereference in vm_page_fault.

This bug was introduced by changing IS_USER_ADDRESS to check against
USER_BASE AND USER_TOP rather than just !IS_KERNEL_ADDRESS. Faults
on addresses outside both the user and kernel address spaces (i.e. the
gap between user and kernel) would result in addressSpace being NULL,
but addressSpace was being used without checking for NULL at one point.

The cookie is used to store the base address of the area that was just

sufficient size on x86_64.

Currently all debugger commands assume 32-bit pointers when formatting their

Support ELF64 in the kernel.

This has been done by adding typedefs in elf_common.h to the correct ELF
structures for the architecture, and changing all Elf32_* uses to those
types. I don't know whether image loading works as I cannot test it yet,
there may be some 64-bit safety issues around. However, symbol lookup for
the kernel is working correctly.

Fix ticket #8650.

- Replace arch_cpu_user_strlcpy() and arch_cpu_user_memset() with x86 assembly
versions. These correctly handle the fault handler, which had broken again
on gcc4 for the C versions, causing stack corruption in certain error cases.
The other architectures will still need to have corresponding asm variants
added in order for them to not run into the same issue though.


# 294711f98c107cf2d9d05b7fc34cd863e87bd358 27-Jun-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

# f1244978152350f9cc010e766d09c2e9ad34dfce 22-Jun-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Added an ELF64 version of preloaded_image.

* There is now 2 structures, preloaded_elf32_image and preloaded_elf64_image,
which both inherit from preloaded_image.
* For now I've just hardcoded in use of preloaded_elf32_image, but the
bootloader ELF code will shortly be converted to use templates which use
the appropriate structure. The kernel will be changed later when I add
ELF64 support to it.
* All kernel_args data is now compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels.


# 192af9e0afd2f3d0cbaf5c935480343a70c8ff53 20-Jun-2012 Alex Smith <alex@alex-smith.me.uk>

Changed addr_range to use uint64.

I've tested this change on x86, causing no issues. I've checked over the code
for all other platforms and made the necessary changes and to the best of my
knowledge they should also still work, but I haven't actually built and
tested them. Once I've completed the kernel_args changes the other platforms
will need testing.

ASSERT() that there really aren't any wired pages.


# af09f123d3df57e2fd9fef9ac9edbfe55c61a431 11-Dec-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Create the right cache type ([non-]swappable) on copy on write.

When forking a team, copy on write areas (and therefore caches) are
created for all the areas in the parent team, but they were always
created as swappable. If the parent team had some B_FULL_LOCK areas,
which aren't swappable, the wrong type of cache would be created which
lead to them not being mergeable later on (causing a panic).

Comments about a possibly cleaner way to figure out the cache type
would be welcome.


# ded69b4c3ac474489a2f3d8a9ae11c8d03453ef0 06-Dec-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Only the to be protected range needs to be non-wired.

When setting memory protection, only ensure/wait for the range that
needs to be protected to not be wired instead of requiering the whole
area to be non-wired. The memory protection is done page wise and
having some parts of the area wired shouldn't preclude other parts to
be protected.


# 1fe24d0cd0b547a771c00f6fca8f50ba6ca2fb2c 03-Dec-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Add heap with guard pages to detect out of bound reads/writes.

This is a very simple heap implementation that allocates memory so that
the end of each allocation always coincides with a page end and is
followed by a guard page which is marked non-present. Out of bounds
access (both read and write) therefore cause a crash (unhandled page
fault).

Note that this allocator is neither speed nor space efficient, indeed it
wastes huge amounts of pages and address space so it is quite easy to
hit limits. It is intended as a pure debug feature.


# 7418dbd90806ceb5702ad20c73b143928b75e212 03-Dec-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Introduce debug page wise kernel area protection functions.

This adds a pair of functions vm_prepare_kernel_area_debug_protection()
and vm_set_kernel_area_debug_protection() to set a kernel area up for
page wise protection and to actually protect individual pages
respectively.

It was already possible to read and write protect full areas via area
protection flags and not mapping any actual pages. For areas that
actually have mapped pages this doesn't work however as no fault, at
which the permissions could be checked, is generated on access.

These new functions use the debug helpers of the translation map to mark
individual pages as non-present without unmapping them. This allows them
to be "protected", i.e. causing a fault on read and write access. As they
aren't actually unmapped they can later be marked present again.

Note that these are debug helpers and have quite a few restrictions as
described in the comment above the function and is only useful for some
very specific and constrained use cases.


# 5247333d36970134729fdbf67e2120b56d0308dc 13-Nov-2011 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Don't do the heap size calculation when using the slab as heap.

The initial heap size calculation only applies to the legacy/debug
heap, so it isn't needed when using the slab as kernel heap.


# f8154d172da77bd77316f14c76d428bae7376323 02-Nov-2011 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

mmlr (distracted) + bonefish:
* Turn VMCache::consumers C list into a DoublyLinkedList.
* Use object caches for the different VMCache types and the VMCacheRefs.
The purpose is to reduce slab area fragmentation.
* Requires the introduction of a pure virtual VMCache::DeleteObject()
method, implemented in the derived classes.

When resizing an area that has individual page protections (set via mprotect),
we have to enlarge/shrink the array that holds them and assign a protection
value for the additional pages as necessary. Otherwise we'll access invalid
memory when looking up page protections for enlarged areas and get random
protection values.
Experienced with QEMU that sets page protections via mprotect on heap memory.
When the heap was later enlarged, write access to the additional memory would
result in permission denied errors and crashes.

* Moved the vm_page initialization from vm_page.cpp:vm_page_init() to the new
vm_page::Init().
* Made vm_page::wired_count private and added accessor methods.
* Added VMCache::fWiredPagesCount (the number of wired pages the cache
contains) and accessor methods.
* Made more use of vm_page::IsMapped().
* vm_copy_on_write_area(): Added vm_page_reservation* parameter that can be
used to request a special handling for wired pages. If given the wired pages
are replaced by copies and the original pages are moved to the upper cache.
* vm_copy_area():
- We don't need to do any wired ranges handling, if the source area is a
B_SHARED_AREA, since we don't touch the area's mappings in this case.
- We no longer wait for wired ranges of the concerned areas to disappear.
Instead we use the new vm_copy_on_write_area() feature and just let it
copy the wired pages. This fixes #6288, an issue introduced with the use
of user mutexes in libroot: When executing multiple concurrent fork()s all
but the first one would wait on the fork mutex, which (being a user mutex)
would wire a page that the vm_copy_area() of the first fork() would wait
for.

# 64d79eff7290437d24b1a420537c3ed5c144ab96 27-May-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Changed physical_entry::{address,size} to phys_{addr,size}_t and changed
map_physical_memory()'s physicalAddress parameter type from void* to
phys_addr_t. This breaks source compatibility, but -- as long as
phys_{addr,size}_t remain 32 bit wide -- keeps binary compatibility with
BeOS.
* Adjusted all code using the affected interfaces (Oh what fun!). Added a few
TODOs in places where the wrong types (e.g. void* for physical addresses
are used). Looks like quite a few drivers aren't 64 bit safe and others
will break with PAE.

# 13fa4c845ac5f1e2167a30fcc4cee3925ec6619e 06-May-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Introduced new area creation flag CREATE_AREA_DONT_COMMIT_MEMORY.
map_backing_store() doesn't commit memory when this flag is given.
* Used the new flag vm_copy_area(): We no longer commit memory for read-only
areas. This prevents read-only mapped files from suddenly requiring memory
after fork(). Might improve the situation on machines with very little RAM
a bit.
We should probably mark writable copies over-committing, since the usual
case is fork() + exec() where the child normally doesn't need more than a
few pages until calling exec(). That would significantly reduce the memory
requirement for jamming the Haiku tree.

* vm_delete_areas(): Changed return type to void (was status_t and not used).
* _user_map_file(), _user_unmap_memory(): Verify that the address (if given) is
page aligned.
* Reworked memory locking (wiring):
- VMArea does now have a list of wired memory ranges and supports waiting for
a range to be removed.
- vm_soft_fault():
- Added "wirePage" parameter that, if given, makes the function wire the
page and return it.
- Added "wiredRange" parameter (for calls from lock_memory_etc()) and made
sure we never unmap wired pages. This could e.g. happen when a page from a
lower cache was read-mapped and a write fault occurred. Now in such a
situation the function waits for the page to be unwired and restarts.
- All functions that manipulate areas in a way that could affect wired ranges
do now either require the caller to make sure there are no wired ranges in
the way or do that themselves. Added a few wait_if_*_is_wired() helper
functions for that purpose.
- lock_memory_etc():
- Does now also work correctly when the range spans more than one area.
- Adds VMAreaWiredRanges to the affected VMAreas and retains an address
space reference (so that the address space won't be deleted as long as a
wired range exists).
- Resolved TODO: The area's caches are now locked when
increment_page_wired_count() is called.
- Resolved TODO: The race condition due to missing locking after looking up
the page mapping is now prevented. We hold the cache locks (in case the
page is already mapped) and the new vm_soft_fault() parameter allows us
to get the page wired.
- unlock_memory_etc(): Changes symmetrical to those in lock_memory_etc() and
resolved all TODOs.

Boot loader (x86 mmu.cpp):
* Made the page table allocation more flexible. Got rid of sMaxVirtualAddress
and added new virtual_end address to the architecture specific kernel args.
* Increased the virtual space we reserve for the kernel to 16 MB. That
should suffice for quite a while. The previous 2 MB were too tight when
building the kernel with debug info.
* mmu_init(): The way we were translating the BIOS' extended memory map to
our physical ranges arrays was broken. Small gaps between usable memory
ranges would be ignored and instead marked allocated. This worked fine for
the boot loader and during the early kernel initialization, but after the
VM has been fully set up it frees all physical ranges that have not been
claimed otherwise. So those ranges could be entered into the free pages
list and would be used later. This could possibly cause all kinds of weird
problems, probably including ACPI issues. Now we add only the actually
usable ranges to our list.

Kernel:
* vm_page_init(): The pages of the ranges between the usable physical memory
ranges are now marked PAGE_STATE_UNUSED, the allocated ranges
PAGE_STATE_WIRED.
* unmap_and_free_physical_pages(): Don't free pages marked as unused.

* The low resource handler now empties the cache depot's magazines; before,
they were never freed unless the cache was destroyed (I just wondered why
my system would bury >1G in the magazines).
* Made the magazine capacity variable per cache, ie. for larger objects, it's
not a good idea to have 64*CPU buffers lying around in the worst case.
* Furthermore, the create_object_cache_etc()/object_depot_init() now have
arguments for the magazine capacity as well as the maximum number of full
unused magazines.
* By default, you might want to initialize both to zero, as then some hopefully
usable defaults are computed. Otherwise (the only current example is the
vm_page_mapping cache) you can just put in the values you'd want there.
The page mapping cache uses larger values, as its objects are usually
allocated and deleted in larger chunks.
* Beware, though, I couldn't test these changes yet as Qemu didn't like to run
today. I'll test these changes on another machine now.

* map_physical_memory() does now always set a memory type. If none is given (it
needs to be or'ed to the address specification), "uncached" is assumed.
* Set the memory type for the "BIOS" and "DMA" areas to write-back. Not sure, if
that's correct, but that's what was effectively used on my machines before.
* Changed x86_set_mtrrs() and the CPU module hook to also set the default memory
type.
* Rewrote the MTRR computation once more:
- Now we know all used memory ranges, so we are free to extend used ranges
into unused ones in order to simplify them for MTRR setup.
- Leverage the subtractive properties of uncached and write-through ranges to
simplify ranges of any other respectively write-back type.
- Set the default memory type to write-back, so we don't need MTRRs for the
RAM ranges.
- If a new range intersects with an existing one, we no longer just fail.
Instead we use the strictest requirements implied by the ranges. This fixes
#5383.

Overall the new algorithm should be sufficient with far less MTRRs than before
(on my desktop machine 4 are used at maximum, while 8 didn't quite suffice
before). A drawback of the current implementation is that it doesn't deal with
the case of running out of MTRRs at all, which might result in some ranges
having weaker caching/memory ordering properties than requested.

* Removed useless return parameter from vm_remove_all_page_mappings().
* Added vm_clear_page_mapping_accessed_flags() and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings_if_unaccessed(), which combine the functionality
of vm_test_map_activation(), vm_clear_map_flags(), and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings(), thus saving lots of calls to translation map
methods. The backend is the new method
VMTranslationMap::ClearAccessedAndModified().
* Started to make use of the cached page queue and changed the meaning of the
other non-free queues slightly:
- Active queue: Contains mapped pages that have been used recently.
- Inactive queue: Contains mapped pages that have not been used recently. Also
contains unmapped temporary pages.
- Modified queue: Contains unmapped modified pages.
- Cached queue: Contains unmapped unmodified pages (LRU sorted).
Unless we're actually low on memory and actively do paging, modified and
cached queues only contain non-temporary pages. Cached pages are considered
quasi free. They still belong to a cache, but since they are unmodified and
unmapped, they can be freed immediately. And this is what
vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages() do now when there are no more actually free
pages at hand. Essentially this means that pages storing cached file data,
unless mmap()ped, no longer are considered used and don't contribute to page
pressure. Paging will not happen as long there are enough free + cached pages
available.
* Reimplemented the page daemon. It no longer scans all pages, but instead works
the page queues. As long as the free pages situation is harmless, it only
iterates through the active queue and deactivates pages that have not been
used recently. When paging occurs it additionally scans the inactive queue and
frees pages that have not been used recently.
* Changed the page reservation/allocation interface:
vm_page_[try_]reserve_pages(), vm_page_unreserve_pages(), and
vm_page_allocate_page() now take a vm_page_reservation structure pointer.
The reservation functions initialize the structure -- currently consisting
only of a count member for the number of still reserved pages.
vm_page_allocate_page() decrements the count and vm_page_unreserve_pages()
unreserves the remaining pages (if any). Advantages are that reservation/
unreservation mismatches cannot occur anymore, that vm_page_allocate_page()
can verify that the caller has indeed a reserved page left, and that there's
no unnecessary pressure on the free page pool anymore. The only disadvantage
is that the vm_page_reservation object needs to be passed around a bit.
* Reworked the page reservation implementation:
- Got rid of sSystemReservedPages and sPageDeficit. Instead
sUnreservedFreePages now actually contains the number of free pages that
have not yet been reserved (it cannot become negative anymore) and the new
sUnsatisfiedPageReservations contains the number of pages that are still
needed for reservation.
- Threads waiting for reservations do now add themselves to a waiter queue,
which is ordered by descending priority (VM priority and thread priority).
High priority waiters are served first when pages become available.
Fixes #5328.
* cache_prefetch_vnode(): Would reserve one less page than allocated later, if
the size wasn't page aligned.

flag. The obvious advantage is that one can still see what state a page is in
and even move it between states while being marked busy.
* Removed the vm_page::is_dummy flag. Instead we mark marker pages busy, which
in all cases has the same effect. Introduced a vm_page_is_dummy() that can
still check whether a given page is a dummy page.
* vm_page_unreserve_pages(): Before adding to the system reserve make sure
sUnreservedFreePages is non-negative. Otherwise we'd make nonexisting pages
available for allocation. steal_pages() still has the same problem and it
can't be solved that easily.
* map_page(): No longer changes the page state/mark the page unbusy. That's the
caller's responsibility.

vm_create_null_area(): The area was created with B_NO_LOCK which would cause
the wired count of manually mapped pages not to be decremented in
delete_area(), leading to a "pages still has mappings" panic when the slab
allocator's memory manager deleted areas.

* Introduced {malloc,memalign,free}_etc() which take an additional "flags"
argument. They replace the previous special-purpose allocation functions
(malloc_nogrow(), vip_io_request_malloc()).
* Moved the I/O VIP heap to heap.cpp accordingly.
* Added quite a bit of passing around of allocation flags in the VM,
particularly in the VM*AddressSpace classes.
* Fixed IOBuffer::GetNextVirtualVec(): It was ignoring the VIP flag and always
allocated on the normal heap.

* The system now holds back a small reserve of committable memory and pages. The
memory and page reservation functions have a new "priority" parameter that
indicates how deep the function may tap into that reserve. The currently
existing priority levels are "user", "system", and "VIP". The idea is that
user programs should never be able to cause a state that gets the kernel into
trouble due to heavy battling for memory. The "VIP" level (not really used
yet) is intended for allocations that are required to free memory eventually
(in the page writer). More levels are thinkable in the future, like "user real
time" or "user system server".
* Added "priority" parameters to several VMCache methods.
* Replaced the map_backing_store() "unmapAddressRange" parameter by a "flags"
parameter.
* Added area creation flag CREATE_AREA_PRIORITY_VIP and slab allocator flag
CACHE_PRIORITY_VIP indicating the importance of the request.
* Changed most code to pass the right priorities/flags.

These changes already significantly improve the behavior in low memory
situations. I've tested a bit with 64 MB (virtual) RAM and, while not
particularly fast and responsive, the system remains at least usable under high
memory pressure.
As a side effect the slab allocator can now be used as general memory allocator.
Not done by default yet, though.

MemoryManager:
* Added support to do larger raw allocations (up to one large chunk (128 pages))
in the slab areas. For an even larger allocation an area is created (haven't
seen that happen yet, though).
* Added kernel tracing (SLAB_MEMORY_MANAGER_TRACING).
* _FreeArea(): Copy and paste bug: The meta chunks of the to be freed area
would be added to the free lists instead of being removed from them. This
would corrupt the lists and also lead to all kinds of misuse of meta chunks.

object caches:
* Implemented CACHE_ALIGN_ON_SIZE. It is no longer set for all small object
caches, but the block allocator sets it on all power of two size caches.
* object_cache_reserve_internal(): Detect recursion and don't wait in such a
case. The function could deadlock itself, since
HashedObjectCache::CreateSlab() does allocate memory, thus potentially
reentering.
* object_cache_low_memory():
- I missed some returns when reworking that one in r35254, so the function
might stop early and also leave the cache in maintenance mode, which would
cause it to be ignored by object cache resizer and low memory handler from
that point on.
- Since ReturnSlab() potentially unlocks, the conditions weren't quite correct
and too many slabs could be freed.
- Simplified things a bit.
* object_cache_alloc(): Since object_cache_reserve_internal() does potentially
unlock the cache, the situation might have changed and their might not be an
empty slab available, but a partial one. The function would crash.
* Renamed the object cache tracing variable to SLAB_OBJECT_CACHE_TRACING.
* Renamed debugger command "cache_info" to "slab_cache" to avoid confusion with
the VMCache commands.
* ObjectCache::usage was not maintained anymore since I introduced the
MemoryManager. object_cache_get_usage() would thus always return 0 and the
block cache would not be considered cached memory. This was only of
informational relevance, though.

slab allocator misc.:
* Disable the object depots of block allocator caches for object sizes > 2 KB.
Allocations of those sizes aren't so common that the object depots yield any
benefit.
* The slab allocator is now fully self-sufficient. It allocates its bootstrap
memory from the MemoryManager, and the hash tables for HashedObjectCaches use
the block allocator instead of the heap, now.
* Added option to use the slab allocator for malloc() and friends
(USE_SLAB_ALLOCATOR_FOR_MALLOC). Currently disabled. Works in principle and
has virtually no lock contention. Handling for low memory situations is yet
missing, though.
* Improved the output of some debugger commands.

Replaced CACHE_DONT_SLEEP by two new flags CACHE_DONT_WAIT_FOR_MEMORY and
CACHE_DONT_LOCK_KERNEL_SPACE. If the former is given, the slab memory manager
does not wait when reserving memory or pages. The latter prevents area
operations. The new flags add a bit of flexibility. E.g. when allocating page
mapping objects for userland areas CACHE_DONT_WAIT_FOR_MEMORY is sufficient,
i.e. the allocation will succeed as long as pages are available.

vm_soft_fault(): map_page() can fail for B_NO_LOCK areas, since it needs to
allocate a page mapping. In that case we do at least have to mark the page
not busy again. Furthermore we enforce the minimum page mappings object cache
reserve, so we'll have more luck on the next fault.

slab allocator:
* Implemented a more elaborated raw memory allocation backend (MemoryManager).
We allocate 8 MB areas whose pages we allocate and map when needed. An area is
divided into equally-sized chunks which form the basic units of allocation. We
have areas with three possible chunk sizes (small, medium, large), which is
basically what the ObjectCache implementations were using anyway.
* Added "uint32 flags" parameter to several of the slab allocator's object
cache and object depot functions. E.g. object_depot_store() potentially wants
to allocate memory for a magazine. But also in pure freeing functions it
might eventually become useful to have those flags, since they could end up
deleting an area, which might not be allowable in all situations. We should
introduce specific flags to indicate that.
* Reworked the block allocator. Since the MemoryManager allocates block-aligned
areas, maintains a hash table for lookup, and maps chunks to object caches,
we can quickly find out which object cache a to be freed allocation belongs
to and thus don't need the boundary tags anymore.
* Reworked the slab boot strap process. We allocate from the initial area only
when really necessary, i.e. when the object cache for the respective
allocation size has not been created yet. A single page is thus sufficient.

other:
* vm_allocate_early(): Added boolean "blockAlign" parameter. If true, the
semantics is the same as for B_ANY_KERNEL_BLOCK_ADDRESS.
* Use an object cache for page mappings. This significantly reduces the
contention on the heap bin locks.

vm_get_page_mapping(): The translation map wasn't locked. For x86 the
function is used only in one place and the missing locking would be harmless
if it weren't for the per translation map physical page mapper. It is used to
map the page table for the lookup. Concurrent access could corrupt its data
structures, or, just as bad, the unlocked Query() could remap the page table
used by a concurrent Map() or Unmap(), which would then manipulate the
wrong page table.
Potentially messing up kernel memory, this bug could obviously cause all
kinds of kernel crashes and weird behavior. E.g. ticket #5138 is a likely
candidate, as are triple faults.

vm_page no longer points directly to its containing cache, but rather to a
VMCacheRef object which points to the cache. This allows to optimize
VMCache::MoveAllPages(), since it no longer needs to iterate over all pages
to adjust their cache pointer. It can simple swap the cache refs of the two
caches instead.

Reduces the total -j8 Haiku image build time only marginally. The kernel time
drops almost 10%, though.

# 3632eeedb954ead74b9cbdfcd664ff3dcb6eba57 18-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* VMCache: Added a UserData attribute which can be used by the lock holder.
* Added "bool consumerLocked" parameter to VMCache::Unlock() and
ReleaseRefAndUnlock(). Since Unlock() may cause the cache to be merged with
a consumer cache, the flag is needed to prevent a deadlock in case the
caller still holds a lock to the consumer. Hasn't been a problem yet, since
that situation never occurred.
* VMCacheChainLocker: Reversed unlocking order to bottom-up. The other
direction could cause a deadlock in case caches would be merged, since the
locking order would be reversed. The way VMCacheChainLocker was used this
didn't happen, though.
* fault_get_page(): While copying a page from a lower cache to the top cache,
we do now unlock all caches but the top one, so we don't unnecessarily
kill concurrency.

# f082f7f019941732f1d2b99f627fbeeeec3746af 15-Jan-2010 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added vm_page::accessed flag. Works analogously to vm_page::modified.
* Reorganized the code for [un]mapping pages:
- Added new VMTranslationMap::Unmap{Area,Page[s]}() which essentially do what
vm_unmap_page[s]() did before, just in the architecture specific code, which
allows for specific optimizations. UnmapArea() is for the special case that
the complete area is unmapped. Particularly in case the address space is
deleted, some work can be saved. Several TODOs could be slain.
- Since they are only used within vm.cpp vm_map_page() and vm_unmap_page[s]()
are now static and have lost their prefix (and the "preserveModified"
parameter).
* Added VMTranslationMap::Protect{Page,Area}(). They are just inline wrappers
for Protect().
* X86VMTranslationMap::Protect(): Make sure not to accidentally clear the
accessed/dirty flags.
* X86VMTranslationMap::Unmap()/Protect(): Make page table skipping actually
work. It was only skipping to the next page.
* Adjusted the PPC code to at least compile.

No measurable effect for the -j8 Haiku image build time, though the kernel time
drops minimally.

* Pulled the physical page mapping functions out of vm_translation_map into
a new interface VMPhysicalPageMapper.
* Renamed vm_translation_map to VMTranslationMap and made it a proper C++
class. The functions in the operations vector have become methods.
* Added class GenericVMPhysicalPageMapper implementing VMPhysicalPageMapper
as far as possible (without actually writing new code).
* Adjusted the x86 and the PPC specifics accordingly (untested for the
latter). For the other architectures the build is, I'm afraid, seriously
broken.

The next steps will modify and extend the VMTranslationMap interface, so that
it will be possible to fix the bugs in vm_unmap_page[s]() and employ
architecture specific optimizations.

* Made VMCacheChainLocker more flexible (added unlocking destructor and
LockAllSourceCaches()) and moved it to the beginning of the file.
* Removed sMappingLock and adjusted the locking policy for mapping/unmapping
pages: Since holding the lock of the affected pages' caches is already
required, that does now protect the page's mappings, too. The area mappings
are protected by the translation map lock, which we always acquire anyway
when mapping, unmapping, or looking up mappings.

The change results in a -j8 Haiku image build speedup of almost 10%. The
total kernel time drops almost 30%.

unmap_and_free_physical_pages(): Don't try to free already free pages.

* Added new debug feature (DEBUG_PAGE_ACCESS) to detect invalid concurrent
access to a vm_page. It is basically an atomically accessed thread ID field
in the vm_page structure, which is explicitly set by macros marking the
critical sections. As a first positive effect I had to review quite a bit of
code and found several issues.
* Added several TODOs and comments. Some harmless ones, but also a few
troublesome ones in vm.cpp regarding page unmapping.
* file_cache: PrecacheIO::Prepare()/read_into_cache: Removed superfluous
vm_page_allocate_page() return value checks. It cannot fail anymore.
* Removed the heavily contended "pages" lock. We use different policies now:
- sModifiedTemporaryPages is accessed atomically.
- sPageDeficitLock and sFreePageCondition are protected by a new mutex.
- The page queues have individual locks (mutexes).
- Renamed set_page_state_nolock() to set_page_state(). Unless the caller says
otherwise, it does now lock the affected pages queues itself. Also changed
the return value to void -- we panic() anyway.
* set_page_state(): Add free/clear pages to the beginning of their respective
queues as this is more cache-friendly.
* Pages with the states PAGE_STATE_WIRED or PAGE_STATE_UNUSED are no longer
in any queue. They were in the "active" queue, but there's no good reason
to have them there. In case we decide to let the page daemon work the queues
(like FreeBSD) they would just be in the way.
* Pulled the common part of vm_page_allocate_page_run[_no_base]() into a helper
function. Also fixed a bug I introduced previously: The functions must not
vm_page_unreserve_pages() on success, since they remove the pages from the
free/clear queue without decrementing sUnreservedFreePages.
* vm_page_set_state(): Changed return type to void. The function cannot really
fail and no-one was checking it anyway.
* vm_page_free(), vm_page_set_state(): Added assertion: The page must not be
free/clear before. This is implied by the policy that no-one is allowed to
access free/clear pages without holding the respective queue's lock, which is
not the case at this point. This found the bug fixed in r34912.
* vm_page_requeue(): Added general assertions. panic() when requeuing of
free/clear pages is requested. Same reason as above.
* vm_clone_area(), B_FULL_LOCK case: Don't map busy pages. The implementation is
still not correct, though.

My usual -j8 Haiku build test runs another 10% faster, now. The total kernel
time drops about 18%. As hoped the new locks have only a fraction of the old
"pages" lock contention. Other locks lead the "most wanted list" now.

* Added a simple mechanism to wait for events to VMCache. WaitForPageEvents()
waits for certain events on a given page, NotifyPageEvents() wakes up
waiting threads respectively.
* Used the new feature instead of condition variables for waiting on busy
pages. We save publishing and unpublishing of a condition variable whenever
a page is marked busy. There's only something to do, if there's at least
one thread waiting in the list of the respective cache. The general
assumption is that this is only rarely the case and even if it happens,
there should be only very few threads.
* Added an apparently missing notification in cache_io(). At least I didn't
see the reason for it not being there.

# 40cd019ea0415011db2a82c736e716a22ca842cc 06-Dec-2009 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Renamed VMAddressSpace::ResizeArea{Head,Tail}() to ShrinkArea{Head,Tail}()
to clarify that they never enlarge the area.
* Reimplemented VMKernelAddressSpace. It is somewhat inspired by Bonwick's
vmem resource allocator (though we have different requirements):
- We consider the complete address space to be divided into contiguous
ranges of type free, reserved, or area, each range being represented by
a VMKernelAddressRange object.
- The range objects are managed in an AVL tree and a doubly linked list
(the latter only for faster iteration) sorted by address. This provides
O(log(n)) lookup, insertion and removal.
- For each power of two size we maintain a list of free ranges of at least
that size. Thus for the most common case of B_ANY*_ADDRESS area
allocation, we find a free range in constant time (the rest of the
processing being O(log(n))) with a rather good fit. This should also
help avoiding address space fragmentation.
While the new implementation should be faster, particularly with an
increasing number of areas, I couldn't measure any difference in the -j2
haiku build. From a cursory test the -j8 build hasn't tangibly benefitted
either.

* Changed the address space area list to doubly linked. The reason is to
simplify migration of the area management, but as a side effect, it also
makes area deletion O(1) (instead of O(n), n == number of areas in the
address space).
* Moved more area management functionality from vm.cpp to VMAddressSpace and
VMArea structure creation to VMArea. Made the list and list link members
itself private.
* VMAddressSpace tracks its amount of free space, now. This also replaces
the previous mechanism to do that only for the kernel address space. It
was broken anyway, since delete_area() subtracted the area size instead of
adding it.
* vm_free_unused_boot_loader_range():
- lastEnd could be set to a value < start, which could cause memory
outside of the given range to be unmapped. Haven't checked whether this
could happen in practice -- if so, it would be seriously unhealthy.
- The range between the end of the last area in the range and the end of
the range would never be freed.
- Fixed potential integer overflows when computing addresses.

takes a list of iovecs describing the physical pages to be mapped. With it one
can map a set of physically disjoint pages into one linear virtual range. This

map_physical_memory_vecs alongside map_physical_memory.

Made the {debug,user}_{mem,strl}cpy() and user_memset() functions deal with
address overflows. Apparently at least the x86 string instructions generate
a general protection fault instead of a page fault, and we only use the fault
handler in the latter case (maybe we should change that, too). Fixes #4714.

the area will fit with the given constraints.

* Change the way we check for enough available space when searching for spots
to insert areas so we don't overflow.
* Consequently use the area end (base + size - 1) where appropriate which
prevents overflows in a few places.
* Properly check for reaching the address space end.
* If we've already found a spot we don't need to recheck if we've found one.
* Simplify the B_EXACT_ADDRESS checks down to a simpler single if statement
instead of the four seperate ones.
* Properly calculate the search end for B_EXACT_ADDRESS as well, it's also
base + size - 1.
* Block the full last page now that this actually works without overflowing.
* Some style changes and added spacing.

This should now really fix #2550. Previously the overflow protection didn't
actually work because on allocation we overflowed and completely missed the
protecting area.

Block the very last page of kernel address space. The problem here is that non
of the VM functions handling areas are overflow safe. If an area is created that
spans across the last page many places will run into an integer overflow. This
mostly concerns the area allocation path in find_and_insert_area_slot() and also
vm_create_anonymous_area() where the loop for mapping pages for B_FULL_LOCK
areas overflows and runs more times than it should leading to #2550.
This could be seen as a workaround. The real fix would be to make everything
overflow safe. The thing is that this does also concern the user of the area
which could easily have forgotten to check for overflows as well, so I am a bit
uneasy with handing out areas that could easily lead to such hard to debug
problems. Since this is really an edge case and this single step safes quite a
bit of extra checks I'd actually be OK with keeping it that way.

* Renamed the ROUNDOWN macro to ROUNDDOWN. Also changed the implementation of
ROUNDUP to use '*' and '/' -- the compiler will optimize that for powers of
two anyway and this implementation works for other numbers as well.
* The thread::fault_handler use in C[++] code was broken with gcc 4. At least
when other functions were invoked. Trying to trick the compiler wasn't a
particularly good idea anyway, since the next compiler version could break
the trick again. So the general policy is to use the fault handlers only in
assembly code where we have full control. Changed that for x86 (save for the
vm86 mode, which has a similar mechanism), but not for the other
architectures.
* Introduced fault_handler, fault_handler_stack_pointer, and fault_jump_buffer
fields in the cpu_ent structure, which must be used instead of
thread::fault_handler in the kernel debugger. Consequently user_memcpy() must
not be used in the kernel debugger either. Introduced a debug_memcpy()
instead.
* Introduced debug_call_with_fault_handler() function which calls a function
in a setjmp() and fault handler context. The architecture specific backend
arch_debug_call_with_fault_handler() has only been implemented for x86 yet.
* Introduced debug_is_kernel_memory_accessible() for use in the kernel
debugger. It determines whether a range of memory can be accessed in the
way specified. The architecture specific back end
arch_vm_translation_map_is_kernel_page_accessible() has only been implemented
for x86 yet.
* Added arch_debug_unset_current_thread() (only implemented for x86) to unset
the current thread pointer in the kernel debugger. When entering the kernel
debugger we do some basic sanity checks of the currently set thread structure
and unset it, if they fail. This allows certain commands (most importantly
the stack trace command) to avoid accessing the thread structure.
* x86: When handling a double fault, we do now install a special handler for
page faults. This allows us to gracefully catch faulting commands, even if
e.g. the thread structure is toast.

We are now in much better shape to deal with double faults. Hopefully avoiding
the triple faults that some people have been experiencing on their hardware
and ideally even allowing to use the kernel debugger normally.

- When we have to unlock -- when waiting for a busy page or reading a page in
-- we unlock completely, including the address space, and restart
vm_soft_fault().
- Folded fault_get_page() and fault_find_page() into one.
This simplifies and improves things considerably:
- We no longer need dummy pages.
- We no longer need vm_area::no_cache_change.
- #2710 is fixed, since we no longer hold the address space lock while
waiting.
* vm_soft_fault(): When we have found our page, we first check whether a page
is already mapped at the address. If it is already our page, we just change
its protection. If not, we unmap it first. Fixes race conditions when multiple
threads fault at the same address at the same time.
* fault_get_page(): When copying a read-only page from a lower cache, no longer
mark it active, since at least for the fault area it is shadowed from then on.
* vm_set_area_protection(): Fixed potential overflow for in the
vm_translation_map::protect() call.

Disabled the stack traces on unhandled userland page faults. As was already
known those can cause a deadlock. Besides, when the debug server is running,
it prints an even nicer stack trace. Not removing the code yet to make things
easier for architectures on which we don't have a userland yet.

Fixed several problems of the prefetching code:
* Did claim to have reserved pages when calling vm_page_allocate_page(), but
didn't have any (copy&paste bug). We cannot use it without reserved pages,
as we need to call vm_page_allocate_page() with a cache locked.
* No longer use low_resource_state() to determine whether to precache or not,
but use the new vm_page_num_used_pages() instead.
* Also don't (try to) precache when the cache already has more than 2/3 of its
pages to safe some unnecessary work.
* The size to precache was limited to the file size incorrectly.
* When precaching failed, the cache reference was not released.
* The precaching started one page too late, causing bug #3835.
* Reenabled precaching.

axeld:
* Implemented a way to do asynchronous pre-fetching when mapping files.
* There are slight code duplications in some places that could benefit
from cleaning up, but nothing too bad.
* Implementing smarter ways to trigger prefetching and more analysis of
the situations in the kernel would be nice. Currently up to 10 MB
of every mapped file are pre-fetched without further analysis.
* The speed improvement is nice for certain operations. On our test
system (real hardware), Firefox took 9 seconds from being launched
to display a window. Now it takes 5 seconds. Both measurements
right after booting. The same system took 35 seconds from launching
Haiku in the GRUB menu to displaying the Tracker desktop background
image. Now it takes 27 seconds.
* We didn't have the chance to check out the effects of this on the
CD boot, but potentially, they could speed it up a lot.

* Prefixed memset_physical() and memcpy_to_physical() with "vm_",
added vm_memcpy_from_physical() and vm_memcpy_physical_page(), and
added respective functions to the vm_translation_map operations. The
architecture specific implementation can now decide how to implement
them most efficiently. Added generic implementations that can be used,
though.
* Changed vm_{get,put}_physical_page(). The former no longer accepts
flags (the only flag PHYSICAL_PAGE_DONT_WAIT wasn't needed anymore).
Instead it returns an implementation-specific handle that has to be
passed to the latter. Added vm_{get,put}_physical_page_current_cpu()
and *_debug() variants, that work only for the current CPU,
respectively when in the kernel debugger. Also adjusted the
vm_translation_map operations accordingly.
* Made consequent use of the physical memory operations in the source
tree.
* Also adjusted the m68k and ppc implementations with respect to the
vm_translation_map operation changes, but they are probably broken,
nevertheless.
* For x86 the generic physical page mapper isn't used anymore. It is
suboptimal in any case. For systems with small memory it is too much
overhead, since one can just map the complete physical memory (that's
not done yet, though). For systems with large memory it counteracts
the VM strategy to reuse the least recently used pages. Since those
pages will most likely not be mapped by the page mapper anymore, it
will keep remapping chunks. This was also the reason why building
Haiku in Haiku was significantly faster with only 256 MB RAM (since
that much could be kept mapped all the time).
Now we're using a different strategy: We have small pools of virtual
page slots per CPU that are used for the physical page operations
(memset_physical(), memcpy_*_physical()) with CPU-pinned thread.
Furthermore we have four slots per translation map, which are used to
map page tables.

These changes speed up the Haiku image build in Haiku significantly. On
my Core2 Duo 2.2 GHz 2 GB machine about 40% to 20 min 40 s (KDEBUG
disabled, block cache debug disabled). Still more than factor 3 slower
than FreeBSD and Linux, though.

Changed the handling for hardware-caused terminal signals:
* No longer send a SIGKILL when a page fault occurred, there was no
signal handler, and the debugger told us to continue as usual. Instead
we send a SIGSEGV. Instead in handle_signal() when not in the main
thread and there's no handler for the signal, we first send the main
thread a SIGKILL before letting the thread die.
So in cases where the main thread caused an unhandled page fault, the
team will die from the SIGSEGV, now. This fixes bug #2773.
* For the other hardware-caused signals we do now do the same as in case
of page faults, i.e. we first check whether the thread has a handler
for the signal in question. If so, we don't notify the debugger, but
send the signal right away.
* B_GENERAL_PROTECTION_FAULT is translated to SIGILL now. Seems better
than SIGKILL.

of free objects an object cache should try to have ready. If the number
of free objects drops below the threshold, a new urgent priority thread
is asked to asynchronously resize the object cache (pretty similar to

actually used/free pages (with swap support enabled it is even

equal to the guard pages size.

vm_create_anonymous_area():
* Moved reservation of memory for the "locked" cases upfront.
Particularly if the would-be area is a kernel area, we don't want the
address space to be write locked while doing that, since that would
block the low memory handler.
* For full lock areas the pages are reserved upfront, too. The reasoning
is similar. Reserve the pages needed by the translation map backend for
mapping the area pages there too.
* Moved the cache locking/unlocking out of the individual cases. All
want to have the cache locked the whole time, now.

# 2dad5fa7eb67fef7a172c5f5687b838c5b59efc8 24-Jul-2008 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Added "boolean getNewReference" parameter to the vm_address_space*
versions of the AddressSpaceReadLocker constructor and SetTo(). When
true it will get a new reference to the address space.
* Changed vm_soft_fault(): Now it gets the address space as a
parameter (for page faults getting it happens in vm_page_fault()).
This should fix lock_memory_etc() for other teams -- it used the
correct address space before, but the invoked vm_soft_fault() always
used the current team's address space.

Patch by Zhao Shuai with changes by myself:
* Init swap support in main().
* Added "bool swappable" parameter to
VMCacheFactory::CreateAnonymousCache(). A cache supporting swapping
is created when true. Adjusted invocations accordingly.
* The page writer does now write non-locked swappable pages (when
memory is low).
* Fixed header guard of VMAnonymousNoSwapCache.h.
* Swap support is compiled conditionally, controlled by the
ENABLE_SWAP_SUPPORT in src/system/kernel/vm/VMAnonymousCache.h. It is
disabled ATM. Since no swap files are added, it wouldn't have much
effect anyway.

* bfs_fsync() was the only place which could cause the
fs_vnode_ops::write_pages() to be called with fsReenter = true. Since
this is no longer the case, the argument has become superfluous. For
read_pages() it always was. Removed the argument from the functions
and all functions that propagated it.
* Some whitespace at the end of lines was removed.

Merged branch haiku/branches/developer/bonefish/vm into trunk. This
introduces the following relevant changes:
* VMCache:
- Renamed vm_cache to VMCache, merged it with vm_store and made it a
C++ class with virtual methods (replacing the store operations).
Turned the different store implementations into subclasses.
- Introduced MergeStore() callback, changed semantics of Commit().
- Changed locking and referencing semantics. A reference can only be
acquired/released with the cache locked. An unreferenced cache is
deleted and a mergeable cache merged when it is unlocked. This
removes the "busy" state of a cache and simplifies the page fault
code.
* Added VMAnonymousCache, which will implement swap support (work by
Zhao Shuai). It is not integrated and used yet, though.
* Enabled the mutex/recursive lock holder asserts.
* Fixed DoublyLinkedList::Swap().
* Generalized the low memory handler to a low resource handler. And made
semaphores and reserved memory handled resources. Made
vm_try_resource_memory() optionally wait (with timeout), and used that
feature to reserve memory for areas.

This allows drivers to lock the memory outside of the original team context.
* create_area_etc() got a struct team as first argument, but that should have
been a team_id.

no other method of getting an address space.

Changes related to the "caches" command:
* The table used for sorting the caches could be too small for the
number of caches in the system. We never checked that, which could
cause a crash or triple faults when invoking the command.
* We now allocate the table as an area. Also increased the table size to
102400 entries.
* Also print the committed memory for non-RAM caches, if they are the
root cache of a cache tree that has committed memory.

size. Removes a bit of overhead (call and mutex_lock / mutex_unlock).

* Replaced the global cache pages hash table by an IteratableSplayTree
per cache.
* Changed the strategy vm_cache_acquire_page_cache_ref() uses to ensure
that the cache isn't deleted while trying to get a reference. Instead
of the global cache pages hash table lock, it holds the global cache
list lock now. We acquire + release this lock in delete_cache() after
removing all pages and just before deleting the object.
* Some small optimizations using the property that the cache's pages are
ordered, now (vm_cache_resize(), vm_page_write_modified_page_range(),
vm_page_schedule_write_page_range()).
* Replaced some code counting a cache's pages by simply using
vm_cache::page_count.

# df7096a4aaa8076f7ebbc617f914700c9a5c0109 18-Jun-2008 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

* Added malloc_nogrow() function that does allocation without triggering or
waiting for a heap grow.
* Use that nogrow version in the VM code to avoid a deadlock with the address
space lock when a grow operation would try to create an area while a malloc
happened from such a function in the VM.
* When waiting for a grow to happen, notify the waiting thread from the grower
also if it failed to allocate a new heap. Otherwise a thread would just sit
there and wait until another thread requested growing too and that one
succeeded (or just forever in the worst case).
* Make the dedicated grow heap growable too. If the current grow heaps run low
on memory it will instruct the grower to allocate a new grow heap. This
reduces the likelyhood of running out of memory with no way to grow to a
minimum. As the growing is done asynchronously it is still possible to
happen, but it is highly unlikely as the grow heap is solely used to
allocate memory in the process of creating new heap areas and it will even
try using normal public memory if the dedicated memory has run out.
* Reduced the dedicated grow heap from 2 to 1MB. As it can now grow itself, it
doesn't need to last so long.
* Extract heap creation into it's own function that does area creation and heap
attach and use this function for growing normal and grow heaps.

and remove the then unneeded mutex_init() for them.
* Remove the workaround for allowing uninitialized mutexes on kernel startup.
As they are all initialized statically through the MUTEX_INITIALIZER() now
this is not needed anymore.
* An uninitialized mutex will now cause a panic when used to find possibly
remaining cases.
* Remove now unnecessary driver_settings_init_post_sem() function.

* Trivial adjustments of code using mutexes. Mostly removing the
mutex_init() return value check.
* Added mutex_lock_threads_locked(), which is called with the threads
spinlock being held. The spinlock is released while waiting, of
course. This function is useful in cases where the existence of the
mutex object is ensured by holding the threads spinlock.
* Changed the two instances in the VFS code where an IO context of
another team needs to be locked to use mutex_lock_threads_locked().

* Added <sys/mman.h> header. It declares only mmap() and munmap() yet
and defines the macros needed by them.
* Renamed syscall sys_vm_map_file() to _kern_map_file() and changed the
path to an FD parameter. Changed vm_map_file() accordingly and
adjusted the kernel ELF loader and the runtime loader.
* Added syscall _kern_unmap_memory().
* Added bool unmapAddressRange parameter to vm_create_anonymous_area()
and map_backing_store(). If true and the address specification is
B_EXACT_ADDRESS, all areas in the specified address range will be
deleted (unless an area is covered only partially).
* Introduced B_SHARED_AREA flag, which is set on areas that have been
created by {vm,_user}_map_file() with REGION_NO_PRIVATE_MAP. When
fork()ing those areas won't be copied CoW, but rather be cloned. This
is needed for mmap() MAP_SHARED.
* {vm,_user}_map_file() also accept an FD argument < 0, in which case an
anonymous area is created.
* Implemented mmap() and munmap(). Currently there's the restriction
that we can't partially unmap areas. Otherwise the functions should be
rather compliant. We also support the non-POSIX extension
MAP_ANONYMOUS.

Naive implementation of transfer_area(). It follows the suggested sematics
of the resolved ToDo, but could probably be made more efficient. Instead of
transfering the area, the area is cloned into the target teams' address space
and the original is deleted. This generates a new area_id for the transfered

# 5c4d1c5e21dcf7e66414c44691ff0aa92be93842 10-Feb-2008 Michael Lotz <mmlr@mlotz.ch>

Complete rework of the heap implementation. Freelists are now part of the pages
and pages are now kept in lists as well. This allows to return free pages once
a bin does not need them anymore. Partially filled pages are kept in a sorted
linked list so that allocation will always happen on the fullest page - this
favours having full pages and makes it more likely lightly used pages will get
completely empty so they can be returned. Generally this now goes more in the
direction of a slab allocator.
The allocation logic has been extracted, so a heap is now simply attachable to
a region of memory. This allows for multiple heaps and for dynamic growing. In
case the allocator runs out of free pages, an asynchronous growing thread is
notified to create a new area and attach a new heap to it.
By default the kernel heap is now set to 16MB and grows by 8MB each time all
heaps run full.
This should solve quite a few issues, like certain bins just claiming all pages
so that even if there is free space nothing can be allocated. Also it obviously
does aways with filling the heap page by page until it overgrows.
I think this is now a well performing and scalable allocator we can live with
for quite some time. It is well tested under emulation and real hardware and
performs as expected. If problems come up there is an extensive sanity checker
that can be enabled by PARANOID_VALIDATION that covers most aspects of the
allocator. For normal operation this is not necessary though and is therefore
disabled by default.

Made Haiku behave better when you have more memory:
* with 1 GB or more, the semaphore limit is now 131072 instead of 65536.
* double the heap when there is 1 GB or more (64 MB).
* the low memory handler now also watches semaphore usage; in the end,
we need a low resource handler, not a low memory handler.
* create_sem_etc() no longer calls vfs_free_unused_vnodes() directly as
this could actually deadlock (at least because the address space is a
R/W lock, not a recursive lock).

Make the initial size of the slab depend on the CPU count. This avoids running out of initial space with more than two CPUs. I haven't fully tracked down the usage of this space, probably it is used to allocate some per CPU construct.

* Extracted file_map API out of the file cache - it's now an optional service
that can be used by file systems.
* Changed the way the file cache works: instead of reading/writing to the
underlying device directly, it can now be used for any data source, ie.
also network file systems.
* As a result, the former pages_io() moved to the VFS layer, and can now be
called by a file system via {read|write}_file_io_vec_pages() (naming
suggestions are always welcomed :-)). It now gets an FD, and uses that to
communicate with the device (via its fs_{read|write}_pages() hooks).
* The file_cache_{read|write}() functions must now be called without holding
an I/O relevant file system lock. That allows the file cache to prepare the
pages without colliding with the page writer, IOW the "mayBlock" flag can
go into the attic again (yay!).
* This also results in a much better performance when the system does I/O and
is low on memory, as the page writer can now finally write back some pages,
and that even without maxing out the CPU :)
* The API changes put slightly more burden on the fs_{read|write}_pages()
hooks, but in combination with the file_map it's still pretty straight
forward. It just will have to dispatch the call to the underlying device
directly, usually it will just call its fs_{read|write}_pages() hooks
via the above mentioned calls.
* Ported BFS and FAT to the new API, the latter has not been tested, though.
* Also ported the API changes to the fs_shell. I also completely removed its
file cache level page handling - the downside is that device access is no
longer cached (ie. depends on the host OS now), the upside is that the code
is greatly simplified.

vm_test_map_{modification|activation}(), vm_clear_map_flags(), and
vm_remove_all_page_mappings() all computed the wrong virtual address for the
page in question, and would therefore return incorrect data!
Introduced a virtual_page_address() function that is now used by all of them.
So that's why we were still "losing" modified flags - it took me some hours
to find those (sometimes processes died after stealing pages)...

* vm_set_area_protection() would remap the whole area instead of just the page
it intended to. That resulted in more writable pages where you wouldn't want
them (ie. allowing the area to change pages in lower caches).
* We were losing modified pages: vm_unmap_pages() sometimes has to preserve
the modified flag (eg. when called from page fault).
* Both of these were responsible that stealing active pages would crash
applications - even if less likely, this could also have happened when
stealing inactive pages. Therefore, I've activated stealing active pages
again.
* The page writer now pushes the pages of busy vnodes to the end of the queue,
so that it won't pick them up again too soon (the vnode destruction would
be in the process of writing those pages back, anyway).
* The page thief now triggers the page writer to run once it has to steal
active pages. This might be a bit too aggressive, though.

* Mapping a page might actually need memory - since we usually have locks that
interfere with the page thief, we always need to have reserved a page for
this upfront. I introduced a function to the vm_translation_map layer that
estimates how much pages a mapping might need at maximum. All functions that
map a page now call this and reserve the needed pages upfront.
It might not be a nice solution, but it works.
* The page thief could run into a panic when trying to call vm_cache_release_ref()
on a non-existing (NULL) cache.
* Also, it will now ignore wired active pages.
* There is still a race condition between the page writer and the vnode
destruction - writing a page back needs a valid vnode, but that might just
have been deleted.

* We now have a page writer that takes some pages from the modified queue
and writes it back every few seconds. It can be triggered by the page
scanner to do that more often, though. That mechanism can be greatly
improved once we have our I/O scheduler working.
* Removed vm_page_write_modified_page() again - it was all "eaten up" by
the page writer.
* Reworked vm_page_write_modified_pages() a bit: it now uses
vm_test_map_modification() and vm_clear_map_flags() instead of the
iterating over all areas which wouldn't even work correctly.
The code is much simpler now, too.
* You usually put something to the tail of a queue, and remove the contents
from the head, not vice versa - changed queue implementation to reflect this.
* Additionally, there is now a enqueue_page_to_head() if you actually want the
opposite.
* vm_page_requeue() allows you to move a page in a queue to the head or tail.
* Replaced vm_clear_map_activation() with vm_clear_map_flags() which allows
you to clear other flags than PAGE_ACCESSED.
* The page scanner dumps now some arguments with each run.

* Since the page scanner and thief can work more effectively when no vm_caches
are locked, there is now a vm_page_reserve_pages() call to ensure upfront that
there is a page for me when I need it, and may have locked some caches.
* The vm_soft_fault() routine now makes use of that feature.
* vm_page_allocate_page() now resets the vm_page::usage_count, so that the file
cache does not need to do this in read_chunk_into_cache() and
write_chunk_to_cache().
* In cache_io() however, it need to update the usage_count - and it does that
now. Since non-mapped caches don't have mappings, the page scanner will punish
the cache pages stronger than other pages which is accidently just what we
want.

bonefish+axeld:
* Removed the vm_cache/vm_store ref_count duality that besides being a bit ugly
also created the page dameon cache retrieval problem: now, only areas (and
cache consumers) retrieve a reference to the store (and therefore, the vnode).
The page daemon doesn't need to care about this at all anymore, and the pseudo
references of the vm_cache could be removed again.
* Rearranged deletion of vnodes such that its ID can be reused directly after
fs_remove_vnode() has been called.
* vm_page_allocate_page() no longer panics when it runs out of pages, but just
waits for new pages to become available using the new sFreeCondition condition
variable - to make sure this happens in an acceptable time frame, it'll
trigger a run of the low memory handlers.
* Implemented a page_thief() that steals inactive pages from caches and puts
them into the free queue. It runs as a low memory handler.
* The file cache now sets the usage count on the pages it inserts into the
cache (needs some rework though, cache_io() doesn't do it yet).
* Instead of panicking, the kernel will currently dead lock in low memory
situations, since BFS does a bit too much in bfs_release_vnode().
* Some minor cleanup.

which contains the beginnings of our new page daemon.

is to rescan all pages in the system with a two-handed clock algorithm
and push pages into the modified and inactive lists.
* These inactive pages aren't really stolen yet, even though their mappings
are removed (ie. their next access will cause a page fault). This should
slow down Haiku a bit more, great, huh? :-)

* Added "caches" debugger command (to be enable by defining
DEBUG_CACHE_LIST) that prints an unspectacular list of pointers to all
existing caches. Feel free to extend.
* Enhanced MultiAddressSpaceLocker:
- It supports choosing between read and write lock per address space,
now.
- Added AddAreaCacheAndLock(), which adds the address spaces of all
areas that are attached to a given area's cache, locks them, and
locks the cache. It makes sure that the area list didn't change in
the meantime and optionally also that all areas have their
no_cache_change flags cleared.
* Changed vm_copy_on_write_area() to take a cache instead of an area,
requiring it to be locked and all address spaces of affected areas to
be read-locked, plus all areas' no_cache_change flags to be cleared.
Callers simply use MultiAddressSpaceLocker:: AddAreaCacheAndLock() to
do that. This resolves an open TODO, that the areas' base, size, and
protection fields were accessed without their address spaces being
locked.
* vm_copy_area() does now always insert a cache for the target area. Not
doing that would cause source and target area being attached to
the same cache in case the target protection was read-only. This
would make them behave like cloned areas, which would lead to trouble
when one of the areas would be changed to writable later.
* Fixed the !writable -> writable case in vm_set_area_protection(). It
would simply change the protection of all mapped pages for this area,
including ones from lower caches, thus causing later writes to the
area to be seen by areas that shouldn't see them. This fixes a problem
with software breakpoints in gdb. They could cause other programs to
be dropped into the debugger.
* resize_area() uses MultiAddressSpaceLocker::AddAreaCacheAndLock() now,
too, and could be compacted quite a bit.

first (where semaphores/areas/ports/whatever might still be used), and the

Since get_memory_map() can run with interrupts turned off, it can't put up
it's reference to the vm_address_space - luckily, it doesn't even need a
reference, since it always runs in the current address space, which cannot
go away for obvious reasons.

* get_memory_map() leaked vm_address_space references
* fixes a dead lock in vm_soft_fault() - the locking scheme enforces you to
lock the address space before a vm_cache, not the other way, around. Since
we need to lock the cache that has our page in fault_get_page(), we violated
that scheme by relocking the address space in order to get access to the
vm_area. Now, we read lock the address space during the whole page fault;
added a TODO that explains why this might not really be desirable, if
we can avoid it (the only way would be to reverse that locking scheme
which would potentially cause the more busy vm_cache locks to be held
longer).
* vm_copy_area() uses the MultiAddressSpaceLocker, but actually forget to
call Lock() on it...
* delete_area() leaks vm_address_space references - but fixing this currently
causes other problems to be investigated; I'll open a bug for that.

bonefish+axeld:
* Removed the ref_count from vm_areas. You now always need to have the address
space locked (read or write, depending on what you do) when dealing with
areas.
* Added helper classes for locking the address space: AddressSpace{Read|Write}Locker,
and MultiAddressSpaceLocker which can lock several spaces at once and makes
sure no dead locks can happen.
* resize_area() is now using the MultiAddressSpaceLocker instead of no locking
at all; ie. it should now be safely to use.
* Disabled transfer_area() for now; it will be changed to work like an atomic
clone_area()/delete_area(), that is, it will hand out a new ID for the
transfered area.

# 2ac748daf1a3eb53a010696d4e223a1020e10136 06-Aug-2007 Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>

* Changed the signatures of fault_get_page() and fault_find_page(), so
that an error can be propagated back to vm_soft_fault().
* Added boolean restart reference parameter to fault_find_page() which
is set to true whenever a condition is it encountered that requires
to start fault_find_page() from the very beginning. fault_get_page()
checks the flag and executes fault_find_page() in a loop, now.
* Removed the panic()s+TODOs in fault_find_page() when a cache became
busy. The restart feature is used in this case.
* fault_find_page(): If after the loop we haven't found a page yet,
and after locking the right cache one turned up, we restart the
function, too, thus avoiding double insertion of a page into a cache.
* Fixed potential dead-lock in fault_get_page(): After inserting a clean
page into a cache other than the top cache (read fault on
copy-on-write area not backed by a file (e.g. the heap)) the dummy
page was removed from the to be locked top cache while we still held a
lock for the lower cache, thus inverting the locking direction
required by the cache locking policy (top -> bottom).
* fault_get_page(): In case of a write access and a readable page found
in a lower cache, vm_cache_remove_consumer() could have replaced our
dummy page with a real page from a collapsed lower cache while we
had unlocked both caches. We didn't check for this condition and
always inserted our freshly allocated page, thus potentially inserting
a duplicate page into the top cache. We do the check now and discard our
page, when another page turned up. Fixes bug #1359.
* fault_get_page(), same if block: Removed unused case for removal of the
dummy page from a non-top cache. We only ever insert it into the top
cache and it should not be moved to another cache. Added an assert.

fault_find_page(): Fixed a race condition in case of reading the page
from the store into the top cache, which could lead to pages inserted
multiple times into the cache. We don't insert a dummy page in this case
anymore. Instead we mark a freshly allocated page busy and insert that
one. That's exactly the approach the file cache uses too. This does
probably make the whole dummy page special handling in the file cache
obsolete.

axeld + bonefish:
* More conditional debug code (wrt page transitions between caches).
* Replaced debugger command cache_chain by a nicer cache_tree.
* While handling a soft fault: When we temporarily unlock a cache, it
can theoretically become busy. One such occurrence is now handled
properly, two more panic() ATM, though should be fixed.
* When merging caches, we do now always replace a dummy page in the
upper cache, not only when the concurrent page fault is a read fault.
This prevents a page from the lower (to be discarded) cache from still
remaining mapped (causing a panic).
* When merging caches and replacing a dummy page, we were trying to
remove the dummy page from the wrong cache (causing a panic).

The Haiku kernel seems now to run shockingly stable. ATM, we have more
than two hours uptime of a system booted and running over network. We
didn't manage to get it down by fully building Pe, downloading, unzipping,
and playing with various stuff. Someone should finally fix all those app
server drawing bugs, though (hint, hint! ;-)).

* vfs_get_vnode_cache() now always gives out a reference to the cache it
returns; if it needs to allocate a new one, the vnode owns one reference,
and the caller another.

* vm_copy_on_write_area() now does no longer overwrite the ref_count, but keeps
it's reference to the cache until it has unlocked it.
* It now also locks its reference from the start, preventing any other thread
to interfere.
* vm_cache_remove_consumer() now detects if it has to remove a foreign busy
page itself in order to preserve a mapped page.
* vm_soft_fault() now keeps a reference to the cache that owns the page to be
mapped until it has actually mapped it.
* vm_unmap_pages() removed the mappings of all pages of the area instead of only
those that are within the requested range.
* Kept (disabled) debug output for convenience.

In a copy-on-write situation a page from a lower cache must always be
mapped fully read-only (for both kernel and userland). Previously a
kernel read access to a yet unmapped r/w accessible userland address
would cause the page from the lower cache to be mapped with write
permission for userland (on x86 also for the kernel) thus e.g.
allowing a fork()ed child process to write to the parent process'
memory.

Fixes bugs #113 and #928.

Fixed incorrect loop conditions in [un]lock_memory(). If the given
start address wasn't aligned and numBytes was a multiple of the page
size, the last page was ignored. A subsequent get_memory_map() would
return NULL as physical address for that page, if it hadn't been mapped
before (that function looks generally suspicious, IMHO). E.g. reads from a
device into an unaligned buffer that hadn't been touched before would
hit that problem. Fixes bug #1075. Might also fix other reported
problems (like #1056), since this bug could have cause all kinds of weird
behavior and crashes.

Another work-in-progress towards having extra structures per mapping per page:
* vm_area and vm_page now have a new field "mappings" where they will store lists
of vm_page_mapping structures. vm_page::ref_count is gone, as it's no longer
needed (it was never updated correctly, anyway).
* vm_caches now have a type field, ie. CACHE_TYPE_RAM for anonymous areas - this
makes the stores a bit less independent, but is quite handy in several places.
* Added new vm_map_page() and vm_unmap_pages() functions to be used whenever you
map in or unmap pages into/from an area. They don't do much more than handling
vm_page::wired_count correctly right now, though (ie. B_LAZY_LOCK is now working
as expected as well).
* Moved the device fault handler to vm_map_physical_memory(); it was not really
used as a fault handler, anyway.
* Didn't notice Ingo's changes to the I/O space region broke lock_memory(). It
now checks the type of the area that contains the memory, and doesn't lock
anymore if not needed which solves the problem in a platform independent way.
* Implemented lock_memory() and unlock_memory() for real: they now change the
vm_page::wired_count member to identify pages that shouldn't be paged out.
* vm_area_for() now uses vm_area_lookup() internally.
* Fixed various potential overflow conditions with areas that reach 0xffffffff.
* Creating anonymous areas with B_FULL_LOCK no longer causes vm_soft_fault()
to be called, instead, the pages are allocated and mapped (via vm_map_page())
directly.
* Removed the _vm_ prefix for create_area_struct() and create_reserved_area_struct().
* Fixed a bug in vm_page_write_modified() that would not have enqueued pages that
failed to be written to the modified queue again when needed.

# fe70b87d91cc71989ad3c476db81e74acd8cec99 31-Jan-2007 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

Fixed a couple of issues in our VM:
* we now always flush the TLBs after having unmapped some pages.
* vm_soft_fault() could traverse to a source cache while it was being collapsed
by vm_cache_remove_consumer() - this is now no longer possible as the latter
marks the cache as busy when doing so, and the former now tests this flag and
locks the cache (via the new fault_acquire_locked_source() function).
* if fault_acquire_locked_source() fails with B_BUSY, the current cache is locked
again, and tested again for the page - as it might have been moved upwards to it
with the destruction of its former source.
* The cache delivering the page for vm_soft_fault() is now locked until the end;
it can no longer go away before having actually mapped the page into the area.
* This also fixes the issue where pages would get lost as vm_soft_fault() put the
page in the active list, no matter if its cache still existed.
* Also, we now keep a reference of to a cache in case a dummy page is inserted; this
makes again sure that it doesn't go away during the execution of vm_soft_fault()
(which could even add this page to the free list...).
* divided vm_soft_fault() into several smaller functions which should make it much
more readable.
* Added a "cache_chain" KDL command that dumps the whole chain until the bottom
when giving a pointer to a vm_cache as parameter.
* now usually call vm_cache_acquire_ref() before map_backing_store(), even though
it shouldn't be really needed (I added it for debugging purposes).
* Some minor cleanup.
* NOTE: a major problem still persists: when removing a vm_cache, it's possible
that some of its pages are still mapped, and there is currently no mechanism
to get rid of these mappings! I've added TODO comments into vm_cache.c where
appropriate.

Moved locking into map_backing_store() - it now gets a vm_cache_ref instead of a vm_store,
so that this can be done safely.
It was also needed, as it would call vm_cache_release_ref() on failure which requires you
to have no vm_cache_ref locks around (as it might deadlock in this case).

* vm_copy_on_write_area() did not always correctly divide the ref_count of the
two cache_refs - it needs to count the consumers of the lower cache to find
its actual number of references; the upper cache could still be in use by
someone else.
* There were several locking bugs in the VM code; since cache_ref::cache can
change, we must not access it without having the cache_ref locked.
* As a result, map_backing_store() now requires you to have the lock of the
store's cache_ref held.
* And therefore, some functions in vm_cache.c must no longer lock the cache_ref
on their own, but require the caller to have it locked already.
* Added the -s option to the cache/cache_ref KDL commands: it will only print
the requested structure, and not its counterpart (useful if accessing one
structure results in a page fault, as was possible previously).

them to commit substantially less memory (we we're committing about 40 MB (!) too much

filtering them when called from userland, though, dunno.
* Added new debugger command "avail" which shows how much memory has been committed, and
how much is regarded as free space.

This should fix the most often found kernel crash (on bootup):
* vm_soft_fault() did not take into account that a cache's source can change while
traversing a cache chain.
* Now, we grab a reference to every cache we get before locking it, and
* no longer get the cache's source without having the cache locked.

A fix for the double-fault on bootup:
-Turns out the area removal routine had a massive race condition inside
vm_put_area(). Basically the area was removed from the address space's
area list before the pages were unmapped, so the vm could (and would)
recycle the space before the pages were finally unmapped.

It was completely reproducable on my machine during initialization of a bunch
of storage drivers that were bringing the locked_pool module into and out of
existence, which caused a thread to be spawned and stopped in rapid sucession.
On a dual processor machine, it was possible for the new thread to be started
up while the old one was still shutting down, and the kernel stack of the new
one would get wiped out.

Note, there still is a page ref counting problem with this area removal code.
It doesn't decrement the ref count of the page as it unmaps it. Will have to
figure that out.

First steps towards being able of collapse vm_cache objects after forking:
* a vm_cache now maintains a list of its "consumer" caches.
* introduced to new functions that add/remove consumer to a cache (instead
of only maintaining the vm_cache::source field).
* fixed the incorrect reference counting when doing copy-on-write; we kept
one ref too many of the lower cache.
* minor cleanup.

* Reverted the changes r17693 made to vfs_get_vnode_cache(); instead, vm_create_vnode_cache()
will now grab a reference to the vnode as well if successful. This way, vfs_get_vnode_cache()
now actually works how it should: it will now always grab a reference to the cache and
its underlying vnode. This removes an extra reference to the vnode (and vm_cache) that
got ignored before and prevented volumes to be unmounted (or file caches to be removed).
Thanks to Korli for pointing this out.
* file_cache_create() is now aware of that extra vnode reference and releases it; unmounting
volumes is now working again as it should.

_vm_map_file() did in fact not work correctly, but the main problem was
vfs_get_vnode_cache() which did not acquire an extra reference to the
cache_ref when the cache had to be created.

map_backing_store() did not acquire a cache ref in case it created a private
mapping, but it connected the vm_cache objects, so if it failed later, and
thus called vm_cache_release_ref() the object could have been freed accidently.
Most uses of map_backing_store() explicetly acquired a cache_ref *after* the
call was successful, but _vm_map_file() did not do this.
_vm_map_file() might still not work correctly, though, need to have a closer
look at it.

Implemented quite a hack to solve the lockless get_memory_map() problem (bug #349):
when called with interrupts turned off, get_memory_map() will now call the new
vm_translation_map_ops::query_interrupt() call.
Under PPC, this is trivial (at least right now), but on x86 we need to make sure
we have access to the page table entry, ie. we need to create an area that points
to its own page table entry, so that we can map in the page table entry containing
the address we're looking for. It's not really nice, feel free to come up with
a cleaner solution :-)

Added a "reenter" parameter to the {read|write}_pages() functions to give file
systems a chance to know if they have locked already.
This fixes a locking problem in BFS where one thread tried to acquire two read
locks (where someone else trying to acquire a write lock would have caused a
dead lock).

at the same time we're trying to read/write from/to a page, we no longer
fight for the BFS inode lock, but eventually doing the job twice if needed.

behaving as well.

Moved the headers of the different store implementations into the VM source
directory; they are not used outside the VM.

* Fixed the strange vm_cache_ref reference count mechanism: now, a fresh
vm_cache_ref starts with a reference count of 1. When acquiring a vm_cache,
you no longer need to worry if that should go through the vm_store, or not;
as it now always does.
* map_backing_store() no longer needs to play with the vm_cache_ref
references.
* that simplified some code.
* vfs_get_vnode_cache() now grabs a reference to the cache, if successful.
* better balanced vnode ownership on vnode_store creation (vnode_store
released the vnode before if its creation failed).

* vm_page::offset is now called cache_offset and is now an uint32 instead of off_t;
this saves 4 bytes per page. To compensate the loss of bytes, the offset is now
stored in page size units, that's enough to address 2^44 or 16 TB (which is now
the maximal supported file size!).
* Renamed vm_page::ppn to physical_page_number.

Some more cleanup.

* Merged vm_virtual_map with vm_address_space - there was no reason to have
them apart (this even saves a pointer from vm_virtual_map to its address space)
* aspace -> address_space
* vm_create_address_space() did not check if creating the semaphore succeeded
* Removed team::kaspace - was not really needed (introduced a new vm_kernel_address_space()
function that doesn't grab a reference to the address space)
* Removed vm_address_space::name - it was just a copy of the team name, anyway,
and there is always only one address space per team
* Removed aspace_id - the address space is now using the team_id
* Some cleanup.

Got rid of two ToDo-items: instead of clearing the PAGE_MODIFIED flag after having
written the page, we now do it before, so that it cannot lose any changed data
anymore; it doesn't matter if the page is written to while writing it back, the
worst thing that can happen is that we write the same page twice. Also, we don't
rely on the PAGE_MODIFIED bit anymore, we now check all mappings of that page
to find all modified pages, no matter how far the (currently disabled) page
daemon had come.
Also, destroying an area will now result in writing back changed pages - this
is only really important for memory mapped files, though, and should probably
be avoided for other vm_store types.
Minor cleanup.

The block cache now registers and uses a low memory handler that will flush
unused blocks when needed.

# 51a3c450bebefa32a5636bc6078bdd648818da41 13-Dec-2005 Axel Dörfler <axeld@pinc-software.de>

The short story: we now have MTRR support on Intel and AMD CPUs (the latter
has not yet been tested, though - I'll do this after this commit):
* Removed the arch_memory_type stuff from vm_area; since there are only 8 memory
ranges on x86, it's simply overkill. The MTRR code now remembers the area ID
and finds the MTRR that way (it could also iterate over the existing MTRRs).
* Introduced some post_modules() init functions.
* If the other x86 CPUs out there don't differ a lot, MTRR functionality might
be put back into the kernel.
* x86_write_msr() was broken, it wrote the 64 bit number with the 32 bit words
switched - it took me some time (and lots of #GPs) to figure that one out.
* Removed the macro read_ebp() and introduced a function x86_read_ebp()
(it's not really a time critical call).
* Followed the Intel docs on how to change MTRRs (symmetrically on all CPUs
with caches turned off).
* Asking for memory types will automatically change the requested length to
a power of two - note that BeOS seems to behave in the same, although that's
not really very clean.
* fixed MTRRs are ignored for now - we should make sure at least, though,
that they are identical on all CPUs (or turn them off, even though I'd
prefer the BIOS stuff to be uncacheable, which we don't enforce yet, though).

Some work in progress of the MTRR support. Shouldn't do any harm yet :-)

Preparation for MTRR support, code is completely untested, though.
The CPU specific MTRR code will be in modules.

Debug output change: vm_page_fault() doesn't kill the team anymore, it just
sends a SIGSEGV signal (and lets the debugger handle the rest).

map_physical_memory() and its backend vm_map_physical_memory() did not map in the
pages, ie. they considered the areas to be B_LAZY_LOCK. But that doesn't really make
sense and potentially cause page faults where you wouldn't expect them (and where
it's not a good idea to trigger them).
Reworked display_mem() (used by the dw/db/ds commands in the kernel debugger) to
be a bit more sane, improved formatting, and allows it to work on non-existing
memory without a panic.
The "area" debugger command now also accepts an address (contained by the area)
as argument - and it will now always print out an error message if no matching
area could be found.
Replaced all dprintf() calls to kprintf() calls for the kernel debugger functions.

vfs_get_vnode_cache() now only allocates a new cache if requested: this
prevents the system to allocate caches for files that don't use or have
a file cache (ie. only those can be mmap()ed!).
Therefore, cache_prefetch() no longer crashes when trying to prefetch
files without a file cache.
read_into_cache() no longer does anything if the requested size is 0.
Fixed a bug in cache_prefetch_vnode(): if the cache couldn't be retrieved,
it put the vnode, but didn't own it (the caller does).

Removed vfs_vnode_release_ref(), as vfs_put_vnode() already does the same thing.

Fixed a bad bug in vm_copy_on_write_area(): the area's cache offset was not taken
into account when remapping the pages read-only; it could have overwritten valid
page mappings this way. This was also the reason for the Terminal to crash - it
does now work as it should, although some keys don't work (like tab completion)).
vm_copy_area() no longer always sets B_KERNEL_WRITE_AREA if no kernel protection
was specified, but mirrors the userland protection (for example, the x86 MMU is
not able to have a page writable in kernel but not in userland). This caused
some areas to be read/write when read-only would have been enough.
vm_copy_area() now panics when vm_copy_on_write_area() fails - that's of course
no real solution, but it's bettern than letting it silently fail.

Now fills in system_info::cpu_infos[] (ie. CPU activity) by looking at the active
time of the idle thread. IOW Pulse now works :-)
Renamed the idle thread/stack to start with 1 instead of 0 (first idle thread will
be called "idle thread 1").
Minor cleanup.
