pmap_copy(9)

NAME

pmap_copy, pmap_copy_page - copy physical memory pages

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <vm/vm.h>
#include <vm/pmap.h>
void
pmap_copy(pmap_t  dst_pmap,  pmap_t  src_pmap,   vm_offset_t
dst_addr,
        vm_size_t len, vm_offset_t src_addr);
void
pmap_copy_page(vm_page_t src, vm_page_t dst);

DESCRIPTION

The pmap_copy() function copies the range specified by

src_addr and len
from the source physical map src_pmap to the destination

physical map
dst_pmap at the address dst_addr.

The pmap_copy_page() function copies the physical page src

to the physical page dst, by mapping the page into kernel virtual ad

dress space
(KVA), and using bcopy() to copy the page.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

The pmap_copy() routine is only advisory and need not do

anything. Actually implementing it may seriously reduce system perfor

mance.

The pmap_copy_page() routine only operates upon a single

page.
