The slab allocator has grown to use multiple ways to allocate slabs
as well as track them, which got a little messy. One consequence is
the breaking of the KMEM_CF_VERIFY option. In order to make the code
less confusing, this change expresses all options as explicit cache
flags and clearly defines their relationships.
The special kmem_slab and vm_map_entry caches are initialized
accordingly.

Since the slab allocator has been changed to sit directly on top of the
physical allocator, failures caused by fragmentation have been observed,
as one could expect. This change makes the slab allocator revert to
kernel virtual memory when allocating larger-than-page slabs. This
solution is motivated in part to avoid the complexity of other solutions
such as page mobility, and also because a microkernel cannot be extended
to new arbitrary uncontrolled usage patterns such as a monolithic kernel
with loadable modules. As such, large objects are rare, and their use
infrequent, which is compatible with the use of kernel virtual memory.

In order to increase the amount of memory available for kernel objects,
without reducing the amount of memory available for user processes,
a new allocation strategy is introduced in this change.
Instead of allocating kernel objects out of kernel virtual memory,
the slab allocator directly uses the direct mapping of physical
memory as its backend. This largely increases the kernel heap, and
removes the need for address translation updates.
In order to allow this strategy, an assumption made by the interrupt
code had to be removed. In addition, kernel stacks are now also
allocated directly from the physical allocator.

This change replaces the historical page allocator with a buddy allocator
implemented in vm/vm_page.c. This allocator allows easy contiguous allocations
and also manages memory inside segments. In a future change, these segments
will be used to service requests with special constraints, such as "usable
for 16-bits DMA" or "must be part of the direct physical mapping".

* ddb/db_command.c (db_show_cmds): Add `slabinfo'.
* kern/slab.c (slab_info): Generalize so that it can be used with
different printf-like functions, and turn it into a static function.
(slab_info): New wrapper retaining the old behaviour.
(db_show_slab_info): New wrapper that uses `db_printf' instead.
* kern/slab.h (db_show_slab_info): New declaration.
|
|
* kern/slab.h (struct kmem_cache): Align kmem_cache objects using
__cacheline_aligned.
|
|
* kern/slab.h (struct kmem_cache): Reorder the fields so that all hot
fields are within the first cache line.
|
|
* kern/slab.h (KMEM_CACHE_NAME_SIZE): Explain the significance of the
chosen length.
|
|
Previously, the size of struct kmem_cache was 136 bytes, just eight
bytes larger than 128 bytes, which is typically two cache lines on
today's CPUs.
By reducing the size of the name field which holds a human-readable
description by eight bytes to 24 bytes, the struct kmem_cache can be
made fit into two cache lines. This change should not affect the
usefulness of this field. For reference, the length of the largest
hard-coded name is 17.
* kern/slab.h (KMEM_CACHE_NAME_SIZE): Define to 24.
|
|
Don't enforce strong ordering of partial slabs. Separating partial slabs
from free slabs is already effective against fragmentation, and sorting
would sometimes cause pathological scalability issues. In addition, store
new slabs (whether free or partial) in LIFO order for better cache usage.
* kern/slab.c (kmem_cache_grow): Insert new slab at the head of the slabs list.
(kmem_cache_alloc_from_slab): Likewise. In addition, don't sort partial slabs.
(kmem_cache_free_to_slab): Likewise.
* kern/slab.h: Remove comment about partial slabs sorting.
|
|
The purpose of this function is to allow kernel code to display the state
of the slab caches in situations where the host_slab_info RPC wouldn't be
available, e.g. before a panic.
* kern/slab.c (slab_info): New function.
* kern/slab.h: Add declaration for slab_info.
