These changes embody the support of the fully coherent merged VM buffer cache,
much higher filesystem I/O performance, and much better paging performance. It
represents the culmination of over 6 months of R&D.

The majority of the merged VM/cache work is by John Dyson.

The following highlights the most significant changes. Additionally, there are
(mostly minor) changes to the various filesystem modules (nfs, msdosfs, etc) to
support the new VM/buffer scheme.

vfs_bio.c:
Significant rewrite of most of vfs_bio to support the merged VM buffer cache
scheme. The scheme is almost fully compatible with the old filesystem
interface. Significant improvement in the number of opportunities for write
clustering.

vfs_cluster.c, vfs_subr.c
Upgrade and performance enhancements in vfs layer code to support merged
VM/buffer cache. Fixup of vfs_cluster to eliminate the bogus pagemove stuff.

vm_object.c:
Yet more improvements in the collapse code. Elimination of some windows that
can cause list corruption.

vm_pageout.c:
Fixed it, it really works better now. Somehow in 2.0, some "enhancements"
broke the code. This code has been reworked from the ground-up.

vm_fault.c, vm_page.c, pmap.c, vm_object.c
Support for small-block filesystems with merged VM/buffer cache scheme.

pmap.c vm_map.c
Dynamic kernel VM size, now we dont have to pre-allocate excessive numbers of
kernel PTs.

vm_glue.c
Much simpler and more effective swapping code. No more gratuitous swapping.

proc.h
Fixed the problem that the p_lock flag was not being cleared on a fork.

swap_pager.c, vnode_pager.c
Removal of old vfs_bio cruft to support the past pseudo-coherency. Now the
code doesn't need it anymore.

machdep.c
Changes to better support the parameter values for the merged VM/buffer cache
scheme.

machdep.c, kern_exec.c, vm_glue.c
Implemented a seperate submap for temporary exec string space and another one
to contain process upages. This eliminates all map fragmentation problems
that previously existed.

ffs_inode.c, ufs_inode.c, ufs_readwrite.c
Changes for merged VM/buffer cache. Add "bypass" support for sneaking in on
busy buffers.

Provide separate accounting for user-wired pages.

Historically we have not distinguished between kernel wirings and user
wirings for accounting purposes. User wirings (via mlock(2)) were
subject to a global limit on the number of wired pages, so if large
swaths of physical memory were wired by the kernel, as happens with
the ZFS ARC among other things, the limit could be exceeded, causing
user wirings to fail.

The change adds a new counter, v_user_wire_count, which counts the
number of virtual pages wired by user processes via mlock(2) and
mlockall(2). Only user-wired pages are subject to the system-wide
limit which helps provide some safety against deadlocks. In
particular, while sources of kernel wirings typically support some
backpressure mechanism, there is no way to reclaim user-wired pages
shorting of killing the wiring process. The limit is exported as
vm.max_user_wired, renamed from vm.max_wired, and changed from u_int
to u_long.

The choice to count virtual user-wired pages rather than physical
pages was done for simplicity. There are mechanisms that can cause
user-wired mappings to be destroyed while maintaining a wiring of
the backing physical page; these make it difficult to accurately
track user wirings at the physical page layer.

The change also closes some holes which allowed user wirings to succeed
even when they would cause the system limit to be exceeded. For
instance, mmap() may now fail with ENOMEM in a process that has called
mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) if the new mapping would cause the user wiring
limit to be exceeded.

Note that bhyve -S is subject to the user wiring limit, which defaults
to 1/3 of physical RAM. Users that wish to exceed the limit must tune
vm.max_user_wired.

Split kern_break from sys_break and use it in linuxulator

Previously the linuxulator's linux_brk invoked the FreeBSD sys_break
syscall implementation directly. Instead, move the bulk of the existing
implementation to kern_break, and call that from both sys_break and
linux_brk.

This also addresses a minor bug in linux_brk in that we now return the
actual (rounded up) break address, rather than the requested value.

Reimplement brk() and sbrk() to avoid the use of _end.

Previously, libc.so would initialize its notion of the break address
using _end, a special symbol emitted by the static linker following
the bss section. Compatibility issues between lld and ld.bfd could
cause the wrong definition of _end (libc.so's definition rather than
that of the executable) to be used, breaking the brk()/sbrk()
interface.

Avoid this problem and future interoperability issues by simply not
relying on _end. Instead, modify the break() system call to return
the kernel's view of the current break address, and have libc
initialize its state using an extra syscall upon the first use of the
interface. As a side effect, this appears to fix brk()/sbrk() usage
in executables run with rtld direct exec, since the kernel and libc.so
no longer maintain separate views of the process' break address.
