31.Sh NAME
32.Nm pmap
33.Nd machine-dependent portion of virtual memory subsystem
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.In sys/param.h
36.In vm/vm.h
37.In vm/pmap.h
38.Sh DESCRIPTION
39The
40.Nm
41module is the machine-dependent portion of the
42.Fx
43VM (Virtual Memory) sub-system.
44Each function documented herein must have its own
45architecture-dependent implementation.
46.Pp
47The
48.Nm
49module
50is responsible for managing hardware-dependent objects such as page tables,
51address maps, TLBs, etc.
52.Pp
53Machine-dependent code must provide the header file
54.In machine/pmap.h .
55This file contains the definition of the
56.Vt pmap
57structure:
58.Bd -literal -offset indent
59struct pmap {
60        /* Contents defined by pmap implementation. */
61};
62typedef struct pmap *pmap_t;
63.Ed
64.Pp
65This header file may also define other data structures used by the
66.Nm
67implementation.
68.Pp
69The header file
70.In vm/pmap.h
71defines a structure for tracking
72.Nm
73statistics (see below).
74This structure is defined as:
75.Bd -literal -offset indent
76struct pmap_statistics {
77        long        resident_count; /* number of mapped pages */
78        long        wired_count;    /* number of wired pages */
79};
80.Ed
81.Pp
82The implementation's
83.Vt "struct pmap"
84must contain an instance of this structure having the name
85.Va pm_stats ,
86and it must be updated by the implementation after each relevant
87.Nm
88operation.
