PMAP_PINIT(9)

🦋 bestie, welcome to PMAP_PINIT(9) 🦋

This one is from the Kernel Developer's Manual, and it is literally all about getting your pmap structures initialized. Let’s get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

pmap_pinit, pmap_pinit0 — initialize pmap structures

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <sys/param.h>
#include <vm/vm.h>
#include <vm/pmap.h>

void
pmap_pinit(pmap_t pmap);

void
pmap_pinit0(pmap_t pm);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The pmap_pinit() function initializes the preallocated and zeroed structure pmap, such as one in a vmspace structure. It’s giving “this struct is ready for its main character moment” energy ✨

The pmap_pinit0() function initializes the physical map pm, associated with process 0, the first process created in the system. Iconic first-process behavior, no cap 👑

---

🎀 IMPLEMENTATION NOTES 🎀

The pmap_pinit2() function has been deprecated, and should be implemented as a stub until further notice. So yeah — stub it and leave it alone, bestie 🫶
