Split the pagequeues per NUMA domains, and split pageademon process
into threads each processing queue in a single domain. The structure
of the pagedaemons and queues is kept intact, most of the changes come
from the need for code to find an owning page queue for given page,
calculated from the segment containing the page.

The tie between NUMA domain and pagedaemon thread/pagequeue split is
rather arbitrary, the multithreaded daemon could be allowed for the
single-domain machines, or one domain might be split into several page
domains, to further increase concurrency.

Right now, each pagedaemon thread tries to reach the global target,
precalculated at the start of the pass. This is not optimal, since it
could cause excessive page deactivation and freeing. The code should
be changed to re-check the global page deficit state in the loop after
some number of iterations.

The pagedaemons reach the quorum before starting the OOM, since one
thread inability to meet the target is normal for split queues. Only
when all pagedaemons fail to produce enough reusable pages, OOM is
started by single selected thread.

Launder is modified to take into account the segments layout with
regard to the region for which cleaning is performed.

Enable the new physical memory allocator.

This allocator uses a binary buddy system with a twist. First and
foremost, this allocator is required to support the implementation of
superpages. As a side effect, it enables a more robust implementation
of contigmalloc(9). Moreover, this reimplementation of
contigmalloc(9) eliminates the acquisition of Giant by
contigmalloc(..., M_NOWAIT, ...).

The twist is that this allocator tries to reduce the number of TLB
misses incurred by accesses through a direct map to small, UMA-managed
objects and page table pages. Roughly speaking, the physical pages
that are allocated for such purposes are clustered together in the
physical address space. The performance benefits vary. In the most
extreme case, a uniprocessor kernel running on an Opteron, I measured
an 18% reduction in system time during a buildworld.

This allocator does not implement page coloring. The reason is that
superpages have much the same effect. The contiguous physical memory
allocation necessary for a superpage is inherently colored.

Finally, the one caveat is that this allocator does not effectively
support prezeroed pages. I hope this is temporary. On i386, this is
a slight pessimization. However, on amd64, the beneficial effects of
the direct-map optimization outweigh the ill effects. I speculate
that this is true in general of machines with a direct map.

Use the free page queue mutex instead of the page queue mutex to
synchronize sleeping and waking of the zero idle thread.

Change the free page queue lock from a spin mutex to a default (blocking)
mutex. With the demise of Alpha support, there is no longer a reason for
it to be a spin mutex.

- Remove setrunqueue and replace it with direct calls to sched_add().
setrunqueue() was mostly empty. The few asserts and thread state
setting were moved to the individual schedulers. sched_add() was
chosen to displace it for naming consistency reasons.
- Remove adjustrunqueue, it was 4 lines of code that was ifdef'd to be
different on all three schedulers where it was only called in one place
each.
- Remove the long ifdef'd out remrunqueue code.
- Remove the now redundant ts_state. Inspect the thread state directly.
- Don't set TSF_* flags from kern_switch.c, we were only doing this to
support a feature in one scheduler.
- Change sched_choose() to return a thread rather than a td_sched. Also,
rely on the schedulers to return the idlethread. This simplifies the
logic in choosethread(). Aside from the run queue links kern_switch.c
mostly does not care about the contents of td_sched.

- Move the idle thread loop into the per scheduler area. ULE wants to

vm_page_zero_idle()'s return value serves no purpose. Eliminate it.

Change msleep() and tsleep() to not alter the calling thread's priority
if the specified priority is zero. This avoids a race where the calling
thread could read a snapshot of it's current priority, then a different
thread could change the first thread's priority, then the original thread
would call sched_prio() inside msleep() undoing the change made by the
second thread. I used a priority of zero as no thread that calls msleep()
or tsleep() should be specifying a priority of zero anyway.

The various places that passed 'curthread->td_priority' or some variant
as the priority now pass 0.

MI changes:
- provide an interface (macros) to the page coloring part of the VM system,
this allows to try different coloring algorithms without the need to
touch every file [1]
- make the page queue tuning values readable: sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue
- autotuning of the page coloring values based upon the cache size instead
of options in the kernel config (disabling of the page coloring as a
kernel option is still possible)

MD changes:
- detection of the cache size: only IA32 and AMD64 (untested) contains
cache size detection code, every other arch just comes with a dummy
function (this results in the use of default values like it was the
case without the autotuning of the page coloring)
- print some more info on Intel CPU's (like we do on AMD and Transmeta
CPU's)

Note to AMD owners (IA32 and AMD64): please run "sysctl vm.stats.pagequeue"
and report if the cache* values are zero (= bug in the cache detection code)

Prevent vm_page_zero_idle_wakeup() from attempting to wake up the
page zeroing thread before it has been created. It was possible for
calls to free() very early in the boot process to panic here because
the sleep queues were not yet initialised. Specifically, sysinit_add()
running at SI_SUB_KLD would trigger this if the array of pointers
became big enough to require uma_large_alloc() allocations.

Implement preemption of kernel threads natively in the scheduler rather
than as one-off hacks in various other parts of the kernel:
- Add a function maybe_preempt() that is called from sched_add() to
determine if a thread about to be added to a run queue should be
preempted to directly. If it is not safe to preempt or if the new
thread does not have a high enough priority, then the function returns
false and sched_add() adds the thread to the run queue. If the thread
should be preempted to but the current thread is in a nested critical
section, then the flag TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set and the thread is added
to the run queue. Otherwise, mi_switch() is called immediately and the
thread is never added to the run queue since it is switch to directly.
When exiting an outermost critical section, if TDF_OWEPREEMPT is set,
then clear it and call mi_switch() to perform the deferred preemption.
- Remove explicit preemption from ithread_schedule() as calling
setrunqueue() now does all the correct work. This also removes the
do_switch argument from ithread_schedule().
- Do not use the manual preemption code in mtx_unlock if the architecture
supports native preemption.
- Don't call mi_switch() in a loop during shutdown to give ithreads a
chance to run if the architecture supports native preemption since
the ithreads will just preempt DELAY().
- Don't call mi_switch() from the page zeroing idle thread for
architectures that support native preemption as it is unnecessary.
- Native preemption is enabled on the same archs that supported ithread
preemption, namely alpha, i386, and amd64.

This change should largely be a NOP for the default case as committed
except that we will do fewer context switches in a few cases and will
avoid the run queues completely when preempting.

Approved by: scottl (with his re@ hat)

- Change mi_switch() and sched_switch() to accept an optional thread to
switch to. If a non-NULL thread pointer is passed in, then the CPU will
switch to that thread directly rather than calling choosethread() to pick
a thread to choose to.
- Make sched_switch() aware of idle threads and know to do
TD_SET_CAN_RUN() instead of sticking them on the run queue rather than
requiring all callers of mi_switch() to know to do this if they can be
called from an idlethread.
- Move constants for arguments to mi_switch() and thread_single() out of
the middle of the function prototypes and up above into their own
section.

Record exactly where this file was copied from. It wasn't repo-copied so
this is not very obvious.

Fixed some style bugs (mainly missing parentheses around return values).

- Use a seperate startup function for the zeroidle kthread. Use this to
set P_NOLOAD prior to running the thread.

- Add a flags parameter to mi_switch. The value of flags may be SW_VOL or
SW_INVOL. Assert that one of these is set in mi_switch() and propery
adjust the rusage statistics. This is to simplify the large number of
users of this interface which were previously all required to adjust the
proper counter prior to calling mi_switch(). This also facilitates more
switch and locking optimizations.
- Change all callers of mi_switch() to pass the appropriate paramter and
remove direct references to the process statistics.

Add a special page zero entry point intended to be called via the single
threaded VM pagezero kthread outside of Giant. For some platforms, this
is really easy since it can just use the direct mapped region. For others,
IPI sending is involved or there are other issues, so grab Giant when
needed.

We still have preemption issues to deal with, but Alan Cox has an
interesting suggestion on how to minimize the problem on x86.
