2013-04-21Rework slab lists handlingRichard Braun
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.
2013-01-08Add function to dump a raw summary of the slab allocator stateRichard Braun
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.
2012-04-22Fix copyright assignmentRichard Braun
Maksym and I have assigned copyright to the Free Software Foundation. In addition, restore the original upstream copyrights for correctness. * kern/list.h: Fix copyright assignment. * kern/rbtree.c: Likewise. * kern/rbtree.h: Likewise. * kern/rbtree_i.h: Likewise. * kern/slab.c: Likewise. * kern/slab.h: Likewise.
2011-12-17Import the slab allocatorRichard Braun
As it is intended to completely replace the zone allocator, remove it on the way. So long to the venerable code ! * Makefrag.am (libkernel_a_SOURCES): Add kern/slab.{c,h}, remove kern/kalloc.c and kern/zalloc.{c,h}. * configfrag.ac (SLAB_VERIFY, SLAB_USE_CPU_POOLS): Add defines. * i386/Makefrag.am (libkernel_a_SOURCES): Remove i386/i386/zalloc.h. * i386/configfrag.ac (CPU_L1_SHIFT): Remove define. * include/mach_debug/slab_info.h: New file. * kern/slab.c: Likewise. * kern/slab.h: Likewise. * i386/i386/zalloc.h: Remove file. * include/mach_debug/zone_info.h: Likewise. * kern/kalloc.c: Likewise. * kern/zalloc.c: Likewise. * kern/zalloc.h: Likewise.
