NAME
vm_fault_prefault - cluster page faults into a process's address spaceSYNOPSIS
In sys/param.h In vm/vm.h In vm/pmap.h Ft void Fn vm_fault_prefault pmap_t pmap vm_offset_t addra vm_map_entry_t entryDESCRIPTION
The Fn vm_fault_prefault function provides a means of clustering pagefaults into a process's address space. It operates upon the physical map Fa pmap . The Fa entry argument specifies the entry to be prefaulted; the Fa addra argument specifies the beginning of the mapping in the process's virtual address space.It is typically called by Fn vm_fault after the first page fault. It benefits the execve(2) system call by eliminating repetitive calls to Fn vm_fault , which would otherwise be made to bring the process's executable pages into physical memory.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
This is a machine-independent function which calls the machine-dependent pmap_is_prefaultable9 helper function to determine if a page may be prefaulted into physical memory.SEE ALSO
