PMAP_GROWKERNEL(9)					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					PMAP_GROWKERNEL(9)

NAME

     pmap_growkernel -- grow the kernel virtual address (KVA) space

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <vm/vm.h>
     #include <vm/pmap.h>

     void
     pmap_growkernel(vm_offset_t addr);

DESCRIPTION

     The pmap_growkernel() function grows the kernel virtual address space to the virtual address addr.

     It will allocate more page entries if required.

SEE ALSO

PMAP_OBJECT_INIT_PT(9)					   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual				    PMAP_OBJECT_INIT_PT(9)

NAME

     pmap_object_init_pt -- initialize page tables for a VM object

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/param.h>
     #include <vm/vm.h>
     #include <vm/pmap.h>

     void
     pmap_object_init_pt(pmap_t pmap, vm_offset_t addr, vm_object_t object, vm_pindex_t pindex, vm_size_t size, int limit);

DESCRIPTION

     The pmap_object_init_pt() function preloads the page table entries into the specified physical map pmap, for the given object at the virtual
     address addr, for size bytes, beginning at the page index pindex within the object.  The map bits limit are heeded when creating the mapping.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     This function is not strictly required by an architecture's pmap(9) implementation, but it does provide performance benefits if implemented.

     It is intended to eliminate the blast of soft faults on process startup, and immediately following a call to mmap(2).
