PMAP(9)		       FreeBSD Kernel Developer's Manual	       PMAP(9)

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.
