* The uma_zone data structure defines the size of its uz_cpu[] array as 1,rwatson2006-02-111-2/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | but then sizes the containing data structure at run-time to make room for per-cpu cache data. Modify libmemstat to separately allocate a buffer to hold per-cpu cache data, sized based on the run-time mp_maxid variable when using libkvm to access UMA data. This avoids reading invalid cache data from beyond the end of the uma_zone data structure on the stack, which can result in invalid statistics and/or reads from invalid kernel addresses.

* Teach libmemstat(3) how to extract malloc(9) statistics using kvm(3),rwatson2005-08-064-7/+190
| | | | | | | | | so that libmemstat can be used to view full memory statistics from kernel core dumps and /dev/mem. This is provided via a new query function, memstat_kvm_malloc(), which is also automatically invoked by memstat_kvm_all(). A kvm handle must be passed in. This will allow malloc(9)-specific code to be removed from vmstat(8).
* Define LIBMEMSTAT so that vm_page.h won't perform a nested include ofrwatson2005-08-041-9/+1
| | | | | | | | | opt_vmpage.h. Remove definition of _KERNEL, it is no longer required in order to include uma_int.h, as the sensitive parts of uma_int.h (a number of inlines depending on kernel-only constants) are now protected by _KERNEL.
* Add memstat_kvm_uma(), an implementation of a libmemstat(3) query routinerwatson2005-08-015-2/+248
| | | | | | | | | | | | that knows how to extract UMA(9) allocator statistics from a core dump or live memory image using kvm(3). The caller is expected to provide the necessary kvm_t handle, which is then used by libmemstat(3). With these changes, it is trivially straight forward to re-introduce vmstat -z support on core dumps, which was lost when UMA was introduced. In the short term, this requires including vm/ include files that are not intended for extra-kernel use, requiring in turn some ugliness.
* Correct two libmemstat(3) bugs:rwatson2005-08-014-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Move memory_type_list flushing logic from memstat_mtl_free() to _memstat_mtl_empty(), a libmemstat-internal function that can be called from other parts of the library. Invoke _memstat_mtl_empty() from memstat_mtl_free(), which also frees the containing list structure. Invoke _memstat_mtl_empty() instead of memstat_mtl_free() in various error cases in memstat_malloc.c and memstat_uma.c, which previously resulted in the list being freed prematurely. - Reverse the order of updating the mt_kegfree and mt_free fields of the memory_type in memstat_uma.c, otherwise keg free items won't be counted properly for non-secondary zones. MFC after: 3 days
* If a retrieved UMA zone is a secondary zone, don't report keg free items,rwatson2005-07-251-1/+10
| | | | | | | as they actually belong to the primary zone, and maye otherwise be reported more than once. MFC after: 1 day
* Having decided not to provide a libmemstat(3) error number to textrwatson2005-07-244-3/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | conversion routine, now change my mind and add one, memstat_strerror(3), which returns a const char * pointer to a string describing the error, to be used on the results of memstat_mtl_geterror(). While here, also correct a minor typo in the HISTORY man page. Pointers on improving ease of internationalization would be appreciated. MFC after: 1 day
* Document additional aspects of libmemstat(3):rwatson2005-07-242-0/+171
| | | | | | | | - Short description of each memory type access method. - Descriptions of libmemstat(3) errors and memstat_mtl_geterror(3). MFC after: 1 day
* Introduce more formal error handling for libmemstat(3):rwatson2005-07-245-66/+78
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Define a set of libmemstat(3) error constants, which are used by all libmemstat(3) methods except for memstat_mtl_alloc(), which allocates a memory type list and may return ENOMEM via errno. - Define a per-memory_type_list current error value, which is set when a call associated with a memory list fails. This requires wrapping a structure around the queue(9) list head data structure, but this change is not visible to libmemstat(3) consumers due to using access methods. - Add a new accessor method, memstat_mtl_geterror() to retrieve the error number. - Consistently set the error number in a number of failure modes where previously some combination of setting errno and printf'ing error descriptions was used. libmemstat(3) will now no longer print to stdio under any circumstances. Returns of NULL/-1 for errors remain the same. This avoids use of stdio, misuse of error numbers, and should make it easier to program a libmemstat(3) consumer able to print useful error messages. Currently, no error-to-string function is provided, as I'm unsure how to address internationalization concerns. MFC after: 1 day
* Prefix two non-static libmemstat(3) internal functions with '_' symbols, torwatson2005-07-234-19/+12
| | | | | | | try and discourage use outside the library. Remove duplicate declaration of memstat_mtl_free() from memstat_internal.h, as it's not internal, and the memstat.h definition suffices.
* UMA supports "secondary" zones, in which a second zone can be layeredrwatson2005-07-205-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on top of a primary zone, sharing the same allocation "keg". When reporting statistics for zones, do not report the free items in the keg as part of the free items in the zone, or those free items will be reported more than once: for the primary zone, and then any secondary zones off the primary zone. Separately record and maintain a kegfree statistic, and export via memstat_get_kegfree(), which is available for use if needed. Since items free'd back to the keg are not fully initialized, and hence may not actually be available (since secondary zone ctor-time initialization can fail), this makes some amount of sense. This change corrects a bug made visible in the libmemstat(3) modifications to netstat: mbufs freed back to the keg from the packet zone would be counted twice, resulting in negative values being printed in the mbuf free count. Some further refinement of reporting relating to secondary zones may still be required. Reported by: ssouhlal MFC after: 3 days

applications in tracking kernel memory statistics. It provides an abstracted interface to uma(9) and malloc(9) statistics, wrapped around the recently added binary stream sysctls for the allocators. Using this interface, it is easy to build monitoring tools, query specific memory types for usage information, etc. Facilities are provided for binding caller-provided data to memory types, incremental updates of memory types, and queries that span multiple allocators. Support for additional allocators is (relatively) easy to add. The API for libmemstat(3) will probably change some over time as consumers are written, and requirements evolve. It is written to avoid encoding ABIs for data structure layout into consuming applications for this reason. MFC after: 1 week
