NAME
pmap — machine-dependent portion of virtual memory subsystem
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <vm/vm.h>
#include <vm/pmap.h>
DESCRIPTION
The pmap module is the machine-dependent portion of the FreeBSD VM (Vir‐
tual Memory) sub-system. Each function documented herein must have its
own architecture-dependent implementation.
The pmap module is responsible for managing hardware-dependent objects
such as page tables, address maps, TLBs, etc.
Machine-dependent code must provide the header file <machine/pmap.h>.
This file contains the definition of the pmap structure:
struct pmap {
/* Contents defined by pmap implementation. */
};
typedef struct pmap *pmap_t;
This header file may also define other data structures used by the pmap
implementation.
The header file <vm/pmap.h> defines a structure for tracking pmap statis‐
tics (see below). This structure is defined as:
struct pmap_statistics {
long resident_count; /* number of mapped pages */
long wired_count; /* number of wired pages */
};
The implementation's struct pmap must contain an instance of this struc‐
ture having the name pm_stats, and it must be updated by the implementa‐
tion after each relevant pmap operation.
