VM_MAP_STACK(9) FreeBSD Kernel Developer's Manual VM_MAP_STACK(9) NAME vm_map_stack, vm_map_growstack -- manage process stacks SYNOPSIS #include <sys/param.h> #include <vm/vm.h> #include <vm/vm_map.h> int vm_map_stack(vm_map_t map, vm_offset_t addrbos, vm_size_t max_ssize, vm_prot_t prot, vm_prot_t max, int cow); int vm_map_growstack(struct proc *p, vm_offset_t addr); DESCRIPTION The vm_map_stack() function maps a process stack for a new process image. The stack is mapped addrbos in map, with a maximum size of max_ssize. Copy-on-write flags passed in cow are also applied to the new mapping. Protection bits are supplied by prot and max. It is typically called by execve(2). The vm_map_growstack() function is responsible for growing a stack for the process p to the desired address addr, similar to the legacy sbrk(2) call. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES The vm_map_stack() function calls vm_map_insert(9) to create its map- pings. The vm_map_stack() and vm_map_growstack() functions acquire the process lock on p for the duration of the call. RETURN VALUES The vm_map_stack() function returns KERN_SUCCESS if the mapping was allo- cated successfully. Otherwise, if mapping the stack would exceed the process's VMEM resource limit, or if the specified bottom-of-stack address is out of range for the map, or if there is already a mapping at the address which would re- sult, or if max_ssize could not be accommodated within the current map- ping, KERN_NO_SPACE is returned. Other possible return values for this function are documented in vm_map_insert(9). The vm_map_growstack() function returns KERN_SUCCESS if addr is already mapped, or if the stack was grown successfully. It also returns KERN_SUCCESS if addr is outside the stack range; this is done in order to preserve compatibility with the deprecated grow() func- tion previously located in the file vm_machdep.c.
