-.Dt PMAP_PREFAULT 9
-.Sh NAME
-.Nm pmap_prefault
-.Nd cluster page faults into a process's address space
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.In sys/param.h
-.In vm/vm.h
-.In vm/pmap.h
-.Ft void
-.Fn pmap_prefault "pmap_t pmap" "vm_offset_t addra" "vm_map_entry_t entry"
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Fn pmap_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.
-.Pp
-It is typically called by
-.Fn vm_fault
-after the first page fault.
-It benefits the
-.Fn exec
-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.
-.Sh SEE ALSO
-.Xr execve 2 ,
-.Xr pmap 9
