Subject: Update mmap() flags and errors lists
|
||
|
|
||
|
Extend the list of MAP_* macros to include all macros available
|
||
|
to the average program (gcc -E -dM | grep MAP_*)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Extend the list of errno codes.

+@code{EEXIST} if the new mapping would overwrite an existing mapping.
|
||
|
+To test for support for this flag, specify MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE without

|

|
+
|
||
|
+@item MAP_GROWSDOWN
|
||
|
+This flag is used to make stacks, and is typically only needed inside
|
||
|
+the program loader to set up the main stack for the running process.
|
||
|
+The mapping is created according to the other flags, except an
|
||
|
+additional page just prior to the mapping is marked as a ``guard
|
||
|
+page''. If a write is attempted inside this guard page, that page is
|
||
|
+mapped, the mapping is extended, and a new guard page is created.
|
||
|
+Thus, the mapping continues to grow towards lower addresses until it
|
||
|
+encounters some other mapping.
|
||
|
+
|
||
|
+Note that accessing memory beyond the guard page will not trigger this

+@item MAP_LOCKED
|
||
|
+A hint that requests that mapped pages are locked in memory (i.e. not

||
|
+paged out). Note that this is a request and not a requirement; use

|
+@code{mlock} if locking is required.

+
|
||
|
+@item MAP_POPULATE
|
||
|
+@itemx MAP_NONBLOCK
|
||
|
+@code{MAP_POPULATE} is a hint that requests that the kernel read-ahead
|
||
|
+a file-backed mapping, causing pages to be mapped before they're
|
||
|
+needed. @code{MAP_NONBLOCK} is a hint that requests that the kernel
|
||
|
+@emph{not} attempt such except for pages are already in memory. Note
|
||
|
+that neither of these hints affects future paging activity, use
|
||
|
+@code{mlock} if such needs to be controlled.
|
||
|
+
|
||
|
+@item MAP_NORESERVE
|
||
|
+Asks the kernel to not reserve physical backing (i.e. space in a swap
|
||
|
+device) for a mapping. This would be useful for, for example, a very
|
||
|
+large but sparsely used mapping which need not be limited in total
|
||
|
+length by available RAM, but with very few mapped pages. Note that
|
||
|
+writes to such a mapping may cause a @code{SIGSEGV} if the system is
|
||
|
+unable to map a page due to lack of resources.
|
||
|
+
|
||
|
+On Linux, this flag's behavior may be overwridden by
|
||
|
+@file{/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory} as documented in the proc(5) man
|
||
|
+page.

+
|
||
|
+@item MAP_STACK
|
||
|
+Ensures that the resulting mapping is suitable for use as a program
|
||
|
+stack. For example, the use of huge pages might be precluded.
|
||
|
+
|
||
|
+@item MAP_SYNC
|
||
|
+This is a special flag for DAX devices, which tells the kernel to
|
||
|
+write dirty metadata out whenever dirty data is written out. Unlike
|
||
|
+most other flags, this one will fail unless @code{MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE}
|
||
|
+is also given.
