.Sh NAME
.Nm uvm
.Nd virtual memory system external interface
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
.Fd #include <uvm/uvm.h>
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The UVM virtual memory system manages access to the computer's memory
resources.  User processes and the kernel access these resources through
UVM's external interface.  UVM's external interface includes functions that:
.Pp
.Bl -hyphen -compact
.It
initialise UVM sub-systems
.It
manage virtual address spaces
.It
resolve page faults
.It
memory map files and devices
.It
perform uio-based I/O to virtual memory
.It
allocate and free kernel virtual memory
.It
allocate and free physical memory
.El
.Pp
In addition to exporting these services, UVM has two kernel-level processes:
pagedaemon and swapper.   The pagedaemon process sleeps until physical memory
becomes scarce.  When that happens, pagedaemon is awoken.   It scans physical
memory, paging out and freeing memory that has not been recently used.  The
swapper process swaps in runnable processes that are currently swapped out,
if there is room.
.Pp
There are also several miscellaneous functions.

.Ft void
.Fn uvm_setpagesize
.Ft void
.Fn uvm_swap_init
.nr nS 0
.Pp
.Fn uvm_init
sets up the UVM system at system boot time, after the
copyright has been printed.  It initialises
global state, the page, map, kernel virtual memory state,
machine-dependent physical map, kernel memory allocator,
pager and anonymous memory sub-systems, and then enables
paging of kernel objects.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_init_limits
initialises process limits for the named process.  This is for use by
the system startup for process zero, before any other processes are
created.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_setpagesize
initialises the uvmexp members pagesize (if not already done by
machine-dependent code), pageshift and pagemask.  It should be called by
machine-dependent code early in the
.Xr pmap_init 9
call.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_swap_init
initialises the swap sub-system.

.Pp
.Fn uvm_map
establishes a valid mapping in map
.Fa map ,
which must be unlocked.  The new mapping has size
.Fa size ,
which must be in
.Dv PAGE_SIZE
units.  The
.Fa uobj
and
.Fa uoffset
arguments can have four meanings.  When
.Fa uobj
is
.Dv NULL
and
.Fa uoffset
is
.Dv UVM_UNKNOWN_OFFSET ,
.Fn uvm_map
does not use the machine-dependant
.Dv PMAP_PREFER
function.  If
.Fa uoffset
is any other value, it is used as the hint to
.Dv PMAP_PREFER .
When
.Fa uobj
is not
.Dv NULL
and
.Fa uoffset
is
.Dv UVM_UNKNOWN_OFFSET ,
.Fn uvm_map
finds the offset based upon the virtual address, passed as 
.Fa startp .
If
.Fa uoffset
is any other value, we are doing a normal mapping at this offset.  The
start address of the map will be returned in
.Fa startp .
.Pp
.Fa flags
passed to
.Fn uvm_map
are typically created using the
.Fn UVM_MAPFLAG "vm_prot_t prot" "vm_prot_t maxprot" "vm_inherit_t inh" "int advice" "int flags"
macro, which uses the following values.
The
.Fa prot
and
.Fa maxprot
can take are:
.Bd -literal
#define UVM_PROT_MASK   0x07    /* protection mask */
#define UVM_PROT_NONE   0x00    /* protection none */
#define UVM_PROT_ALL    0x07    /* everything */

#define UVM_INH_SHARE   0x00    /* "share" */
#define UVM_INH_COPY    0x10    /* "copy" */
#define UVM_INH_NONE    0x20    /* "none" */
#define UVM_INH_DONATE  0x30    /* "donate" << not used */
.Ed
.Pp
The values that
.Fa advice
can take are:
.Bd -literal
#define UVM_ADV_NORMAL  0x0     /* 'normal' */
#define UVM_ADV_RANDOM  0x1     /* 'random' */
#define UVM_ADV_SEQUENTIAL 0x2  /* 'sequential' */
#define UVM_ADV_MASK    0x7     /* mask */

.Pp
The values that
.Fa flags
can take are:

#define UVM_FLAG_OVERLAY 0x020000 /* establish overlay */
#define UVM_FLAG_NOMERGE 0x040000 /* don't merge map entries */

#define UVM_FLAG_TRYLOCK 0x200000 /* fail if we can not lock map */
.Ed
.Pp
The
.Dv UVM_MAPFLAG
macro arguments can be combined with an or operator.  There are
several special purpose macros for checking protection combinations, e.g. the
.Dv UVM_PROT_WX
macro.  There are also some additional macros to extract bits from
the flags.  The
.Dv UVM_PROTECTION ,
.Dv UVM_INHERIT ,
.Dv UVM_MAXPROTECTION
and
.Dv UVM_ADVICE
macros return the protection, inheritance, maximum protection and advice,
respectively.
.Fn uvm_map
returns a standard UVM return value.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_map_pageable
changes the pageability of the pages in the range from
.Fa start
to
.Fa end
in map
.Fa map
to
.Fa new_pageable .
.Fn uvm_map_pageable
returns a standard UVM return value.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_map_checkprot
checks the protection of the range from
.Fa start
to
.Fa end
in map
.Fa map
against
.Fa protection .
This returns either
.Dv TRUE
or
.Dv FALSE .
.Pp
.Fn uvm_map_protect
changes the protection 
.Fa start
to
.Fa end
in map
.Fa map
to
.Fa new_prot ,
also setting the maximum protection to the region to
.Fa new_prot
if
.Fa set_max
is non-zero.  This function returns a standard UVM return value.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_deallocate
deallocates kernel memory in map
.Fa map
from address
.Fa start
to
.Fa start + size .
.Pp
.Fn uvmspace_alloc
allocates and returns a new address space, with ranges from
.Fa min
to
.Fa max ,
setting the pageability of the address space to
.Fa pageable.
.Pp
.Fn uvmspace_exec
either reuses the address space of process
.Fa p
if there are no other references to it, or creates
a new one with
.Fn uvmspace_alloc .
.Pp
.Fn uvmspace_fork
creates and returns a new address space based upon the
.Fa vm1
address space, typically used when allocating an address space for a
child process.
.Pp
.Fn uvmspace_free
lowers the reference count on the address space
.Fa vm ,
freeing the data structures if there are no other references.
.Pp
.Fn uvmspace_share
causes process
.Pa p2
to share the address space of
.Fa p1 .
.Pp
.Fn uvmspace_unshare
ensures that process
.Fa p
has its own, unshared address space, by creating a new one if
necessary by calling
.Fn uvmspace_fork .

.Pp
.Fn uvm_fault
is the main entry point for faults.  It takes
.Fa orig_map
as the map the fault originated in, a
.Fa vaddr
offset into the map the fault occured,
.Fa fault_type
describing the type of fault, and
.Fa access_type
describing the type of access requested.

.Fn uvn_attach
attaches a UVM object to vnode
.Fa arg ,
creating the object if necessary.  The object is returned.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_vnp_setsize
sets the size of vnode
.Fa vp
to
.Fa newsize .
Caller must hold a reference to the vnode.  If the vnode shrinks, pages
no longer used are discarded.  This function will be removed when the
filesystem and VM buffer caches are merged.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_vnp_sync
flushes dirty vnodes from either the mount point passed in
.Fa mp ,
or all dirty vnodes if
.Fa mp
is
.Dv NULL .
This function will be removed when the filesystem and VM buffer caches
are merged.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_vnp_terminate
frees all VM resources allocated to vnode
.Fa vp .
If the vnode still has references, it will not be destroyed; however
all future operations using this vnode will fail.  This function will be
removed when the filesystem and VM buffer caches are merged.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_vnp_uncache
disables vnode
.Fa vp
from persisting when all references are freed.  This function will be
removed when the file-system and UVM caches are unified.  Returns
true if there is no active vnode.

allocate
.Fa size
bytes of wired kernel memory in map
.Fa map .
In addition to allocation,
.Fn uvm_km_zalloc
zeros the memory.  Both of these functions are defined as macros in
terms of
.Fn uvm_km_alloc1 ,
and should almost always be used in preference to
.Fn uvm_km_alloc1 .
.Pp
.Fn uvm_km_alloc1
allocates and returns

.Fn uvm_fork
forks a virtual address space for process' (old)
.Fa p1
and (new)
.Fa p2 .
If the
.Fa shared
argument is non zero, p1 shares its address space with p2,
otherwise a new address space is created.  This function
currently has no return value, and thus cannot fail.  In
the future, this function will changed to allowed it to
fail in low memory conditions.
.Pp
.Fn uvm_grow
increases the stack segment of process
.Fa p
to include
.Fa sp .
.Pp
.Fn uvm_coredump
generates a coredump on vnode
.Fa vp
for process
.Fa p
with credentials
.Fa cred
and core header description in

.Sh STANDARD UVM RETURN VALUES
This section documents the standard return values that callers of UVM
functions can expect.  They are derived from the Mach VM values
of the same function.  The full list of values can be seen below.

.Sh HISTORY
UVM is a new VM system developed at Washington University in St. Louis
(Missouri).  UVM's roots lie partly in the Mach-based
.Bx 4.4
VM system, the
.Fx
VM system, and the SunOS4 VM system.  UVM's basic structure is based on the
.Bx 4.4
VM system.  UVM's new anonymous memory system is based on the
anonymous memory system found in the SunOS4 VM (as described in papers by
published Sun Microsystems, Inc.).  UVM also includes a number of feature
new to
.Bx
including page loanout, map entry passing, simplified
copy-on-write, and clustered anonymous memory pageout.  UVM is also
further documented in a August 1998 dissertation by Charles D. Cranor.
.Pp
UVM appeared in
.Nx 1.4 .
.Sh AUTHOR
Charles D. Cranor <chuck@ccrc.wustl.edu> designed and implemented UVM.
.Pp
Matthew Green <mrg@eterna.com.au> wrote the swap-space management code
and handled the logistical issues involed with merging UVM into the
.Nx
source tree.
.Pp
Chuck Silvers <chuq@chuq.com> implemented the aobj pager, thus allowing
UVM to support System V shared memory and process swapping.
