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