27.Dt VM_MAP_STACK 9
28.Os
29.Sh NAME
30.Nm vm_map_stack ,
31.Nm vm_map_growstack
32.Nd manage process stacks
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.In sys/param.h
35.In vm/vm.h
36.In vm/vm_map.h
37.Ft int
38.Fo vm_map_stack
39.Fa "vm_map_t map" "vm_offset_t addrbos" "vm_size_t max_ssize" "vm_prot_t prot"
40.Fa "vm_prot_t max" "int cow"
41.Fc
42.Ft int
43.Fn vm_map_growstack "struct proc *p" "vm_offset_t addr"
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45The
46.Fn vm_map_stack
47function maps a process stack for a new process image.
48The stack is mapped
49.Fa addrbos
50in
51.Fa map ,
52with a maximum size of
53.Fa max_ssize .
54Copy-on-write flags passed in
55.Fa cow
56are also applied to the new mapping.
57Protection bits are supplied by
58.Fa prot
59and
60.Fa max .
61.Pp
62It is typically called by
63.Xr execve 2 .
64.Pp
65The
66.Fn vm_map_growstack
67function is responsible for growing a stack for the process
68.Fa p
69to the desired address
70.Fa addr ,
71similar to the legacy
72.Xr sbrk 2
73call.
74.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
75The
76.Fn vm_map_stack
77function calls
78.Xr vm_map_insert 9
79to create its mappings.
80.Pp
81The
82.Fn vm_map_stack
83and
84.Fn vm_map_growstack
85functions acquire the process lock on
86.Fa p
87for the duration of the call.
88.Sh RETURN VALUES
89The
90.Fn vm_map_stack
91function returns
92.Dv KERN_SUCCESS
93if the mapping was allocated successfully.
94.Pp
95Otherwise,
96if mapping the stack would exceed the process's VMEM resource limit,
97or if the specified bottom-of-stack address is out of range for the map,
98or if there is already a mapping at the address which would result,
99or if
100.Fa max_ssize
101could not be accommodated within the current mapping,
102.Dv KERN_NO_SPACE
103is returned.
104.Pp
105Other possible return values for this function are documented in
106.Xr vm_map_insert 9 .
107.Pp
108The
109.Fn vm_map_growstack
110function returns
111.Dv KERN_SUCCESS
112if
113.Fa addr
114is already mapped, or if the stack was grown successfully.
115.Pp
116It also returns
117.Dv KERN_SUCCESS
118if
119.Fa addr
120is outside the stack range; this is done in order to preserve
121compatibility with the deprecated
122.Fn grow
123function previously located in the file
124.Pa vm_machdep.c .
