29.Sh NAME
30.Nm pmap_init ,
31.Nm pmap_init2
32.Nd initialize the pmap subsystem
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In sys/param.h
35.In vm/vm.h
36.In vm/pmap.h
37.Ft void
38.Fn pmap_init "void"

40.Fn pmap_init2 "void"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Fn pmap_init
44function initializes the
45.Xr pmap 9
46sub-system.
47It is called during system initialization by
48.Fn vm_init ,
49to initialize any structures that the
50.Nm
51system needs in order to map between physical and virtual memory.
52.Pp
53The
54.Fn pmap_init2
55function initializes a zone for the PV entries.
56These are used to implement page sharing at the physical level.
57A high water mark is set so that the system can recover from
58excessive numbers of PV entries.
