.Sh NAME
.Nm pmap_enter
.Nd insert a virtual page into a physical map
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/param.h
.In vm/vm.h
.In vm/pmap.h
.Ft int
.Fo pmap_enter
.Fa "pmap_t pmap" "vm_offset_t va" "vm_page_t m" "vm_prot_t prot"
.Fa "u_int flags" "int8_t psind"
.Fc
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn pmap_enter
function creates a mapping in the physical map
.Fa pmap
from the virtual address
.Fa va
to the physical page
.Fa m
with the protection
.Fa prot .
Any previous mapping at the virtual address
.Fa va
is destroyed.
.Pp
The
.Fa flags
argument may have the following values:
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv PMAP_ENTER_NOSLEEP"
.It Dv VM_PROT_READ
A read access to the given virtual address triggered the call.
.It Dv VM_PROT_WRITE
A write access to the given virtual address triggered the call.
.It Dv VM_PROT_EXECUTE
An execute access to the given virtual address triggered the call.
.It Dv PMAP_ENTER_WIRED
The mapping should be marked as wired.
.It Dv PMAP_ENTER_NOSLEEP
This function may not sleep during creation of the mapping.
If the mapping cannot be created without sleeping, an appropriate
Mach VM error is returned.
.El
If the
.Dv PMAP_ENTER_NOSLEEP
flag is not specified, this function must create the requested mapping
before returning.
It may not fail.
In order to create the requested mapping, this function may destroy
any non-wired mapping in any pmap.
.Pp
The
.Fa psind
parameter specifies the page size that should be used by the mapping.
The supported page sizes are described by the global array
.Dv pagesizes[] .
The desired page size is specified by passing the index of the array
element that equals the desired page size.
.Pp
When the
.Fn pmap_enter
function destroys or updates a managed mapping, including an existing
mapping at virtual address
.Fa va ,
it updates the
.Ft vm_page
structure corresponding to the previously mapped physical page.
If the physical page was accessed through the managed mapping,
then the
.Ft vm_page
structure's
.Dv PGA_REFERENCED
aflag is set.
If the physical page was modified through the managed mapping, then the
.Fn vm_page_dirty
function is called on the
.Ft vm_page
structure.
.Pp
The
.Dv PGA_WRITEABLE
aflag must be set for the page
.Fa m
if the new mapping is managed and writeable.
It is advised to clear
.Dv PGA_WRITEABLE
for destroyed mappings if the implementation can ensure
that no other writeable managed mappings for the previously
mapped pages exist.
.Pp
If the page
.Fa m
is managed, the page must be busied by the caller
or the owning object must be locked.
In the later case, the
.Dv PMAP_ENTER_NOSLEEP
must be specified by the caller.
.Pp
The
.Fn pmap_enter
function must handle the multiprocessor TLB consistency for the
given address.
.Sh NOTES
On amd64, arm and i386 architectures the existing implementation
of the
.Nm
function is incomplete, only value 0 for
.Fa psind
is supported.
Other supported architectures have
.Dv pagesizes[]
array of size 1.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
If successful, the
.Fn pmap_enter
function returns
.Er KERN_SUCCESS .
If the
.Dv PMAP_ENTER_NOSLEEP
flag was specified and the resources required for the mapping cannot
be acquired without sleeping,
.Dv KERN_RESOURCE_SHORTAGE
is returned.
