Log:
     Speed up vm_page_array initialization.
We currently initialize the vm_page array in three passes: one to zero
     the array, one to initialize the "order" field of each page (necessary
     when inserting them into the vm_phys buddy allocator one-by-one), and
     one to initialize the remaining non-zero fields and individually insert
     each page into the allocator.
Merge the three passes into one following a suggestion from alc:
     initialize vm_page fields in a single pass, and use vm_phys_free_contig()
     to efficiently insert physical memory segments into the buddy allocator.
     This reduces the initialization time to a third or a quarter of what it
     was before on most systems that I tested.

I just found out that this commit breaks booting my powerpc64 Quad G5.
It hangs, pressing ctrl-t shows: cmd: sh [*vm active pagequeue].

Sometimes it hangs earlier when the kbd is not there yet (usb), then I
can't get the process/task where it hangs.

Note, this kernel is compiled with the default gcc (4.2.1-FreeBSD)

Any ideas how to find out what's wrong?

Are you able to break into DDB when the hang occurs? If so, the output
of "show page" would be helpful.

Unfortunately not from the beginning. The keyboard is usb and it gets
installed late. Once it survives the loading of the kbd and co, I can
enter into ddb. But it is a trial and error. So far I didn't succeed to
come that far.

Are you running with INVARIANTS configured? If not, please try that.

The above was w/o INVARIANTS. With invariants the kernel panics
immediately after boot, see pic.

Thanks. Could you please try applying the patch at the end of this email
and see if that fixes the issue? I have not yet tried to compile it,
sorry.

Excellent! I can confirm the two platforms, 32- and 64-bit powerpc, are back to life. Both are running since a few hours and perfom ports rebuild now.

Thank you very much for your prompt response and help.

Andreas
