Stop handling buffers belonging to non-mpsafe filesystems. The VFS_VERSION is bumped to indicate the interface change which does not result in the interface signatures changes.

* Fix kernel modules loading for MIPS64 kernel:gonzo2012-01-141-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On amd64, link_elf_obj.c must specify KERNBASE rather than VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS to vm_map_find() because kernel loadable modules must be mapped for execution in the same upper region of the kernel map as the kernel code and data segments. For MIPS32 KERNBASE lies below KVA area (it's less than VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS) so basically vm_map_find got whole KVA to look through. On MIPS64 it's not the case because KERNBASE is set to the very end of XKSEG, well out of KVA bounds, so vm_map_find always fails. We should use VM_MIN_KERNEL_ADDRESS as a base for vm_map_find.

* completely ignore zero-sized elf sections in modules of elf object type (amd64)avg2010-07-231-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current code doesn't check size of elf sections and may perform needless actions of zero-sized memory allocation and similar. The bigger issue is that alignment requirement of a zero-sized section gets effectively applied to the next section if it has smaller alignment requirement. But other tools, like gdb and consequently kgdb, completely ignore zero-sized sections and thus may map symbols to addresses differently. Zero-sized sections are not typical in general. Their typical (only, even) cause in FreeBSD modules is inline assembly that creates custom sections which is found in pcpu.h and vnet.h. Mere inclusion of one of those header files produces a custom section in elf output. If there is no actual use for the section in a given module, then the section remains empty. Better solution is to avoid creating zero-sized sections altogether, which is in plans. Preloaded modules are handled in boot code (load_elf_obj.c), while dynamically loaded modules are handled by kernel (link_elf_obj.c). Based on code by: np MFC after: 3 weeks

* Build on Jeff Roberson's linker-set based dynamic per-CPU allocatorrwatson2009-07-141-2/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (DPCPU), as suggested by Peter Wemm, and implement a new per-virtual network stack memory allocator. Modify vnet to use the allocator instead of monolithic global container structures (vinet, ...). This change solves many binary compatibility problems associated with VIMAGE, and restores ELF symbols for virtualized global variables. Each virtualized global variable exists as a "reference copy", and also once per virtual network stack. Virtualized global variables are tagged at compile-time, placing the in a special linker set, which is loaded into a contiguous region of kernel memory. Virtualized global variables in the base kernel are linked as normal, but those in modules are copied and relocated to a reserved portion of the kernel's vnet region with the help of a the kernel linker. Virtualized global variables exist in per-vnet memory set up when the network stack instance is created, and are initialized statically from the reference copy. Run-time access occurs via an accessor macro, which converts from the current vnet and requested symbol to a per-vnet address. When "options VIMAGE" is not compiled into the kernel, normal global ELF symbols will be used instead and indirection is avoided. This change restores static initialization for network stack global variables, restores support for non-global symbols and types, eliminates the need for many subsystem constructors, eliminates large per-subsystem structures that caused many binary compatibility issues both for monitoring applications (netstat) and kernel modules, removes the per-function INIT_VNET_*() macros throughout the stack, eliminates the need for vnet_symmap ksym(2) munging, and eliminates duplicate definitions of virtualized globals under VIMAGE_GLOBALS.

* Implement a facility for dynamic per-cpu variables.jeff2009-06-231-10/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Modules and kernel code alike may use DPCPU_DEFINE(), DPCPU_GET(), DPCPU_SET(), etc. akin to the statically defined PCPU_*. Requires only one extra instruction more than PCPU_* and is virtually the same as __thread for builtin and much faster for shared objects. DPCPU variables can be initialized when defined. - Modules are supported by relocating the module's per-cpu linker set over space reserved in the kernel. Modules may fail to load if there is insufficient space available. - Track space available for modules with a one-off extent allocator. Free may block for memory to allocate space for an extent.

Unlike like other implementations, this ksyms driver maps memory in the process memory space to store the snapshot at the time /dev/ksyms is opened. It also checks to see if the process has already a snapshot open and won't allow it to open /dev/ksyms it again until it closes first. This prevents kernel and process memory from being exhausted.

Giant is still explicitly acquired while registering and deregistering sysctl's as well as in the elf linker class while calling kmupetext(). The rest of the linker runs without Giant unless it has to acquire Giant while loading files from a non-MPSAFE filesystem.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as dependent on binutils features/quirks as the current one. This one loads plain .o files without having to mess with shared object mode. This happens to be essential on amd64, because binutils hasn't implemented all the quirks/features that we need for producing the hack non-PIC shared objects. As it turned out, .o format isn't all that inconvenient after all. It looks like the ability to use the same .o files for linking directly into a static kernel or loading as a module might be worth it. It is still very much a work-in-progress, but it is almost usable. Other changes are still needed in order to use it though, these have not been committed yet. There is still a memory corruption/overrun bug somewhere. For example, test modules load and work, but the machine explodes a few minutes later in vm_forkproc() or the like. Notable missing things include kldxref support, and loader(8) support. I wanted to figure out a working baseline set of code first.

This needed clarification; the stub code generation for mlockall() was disabled, which would prevent applications from linking to this API (suggested by mux) - Giant has been quoshed.

Paging-in activity is occurring correctly, using a test harness. - The RES size for a process may appear to be greater than its SIZE. This is believed to be due to mappings of the same shared library page being wired twice.
