Mmapping slightly more than 2GB doesn't work, but +mapping a window of size (filesize % 2GB) for file sizes of slightly +less than 2G, 4GB, 6GB and 8GB. + +The limit is imposed for a variety of reasons. Most of them have to do +with FreeBSD not wanting to use 64 bit offsets in the VM system due to +the extreme performance penalty. So FreeBSD use 32bit page indexes and +this gives FreeBSD a maximum of 8TB filesizes. It's actually bugs in +the filesystem code that causes the limit to be further restricted to +1TB (loss of precision when doing blockno calculations). + +Another reason for the 2GB limit is that filesystem metadata can +reside at negative offsets. diff --git a/lib/libc/sys/mprotect.2 b/lib/libc/sys/mprotect.2 index bb2b9ad..c0ad2df 100644 --- a/lib/libc/sys/mprotect.2 +++ b/lib/libc/sys/mprotect.2 @@ -38,6 +38,8 @@ .Nm mprotect .Nd control the protection of pages .Sh SYNOPSIS +.Fd #include +.Fd #include .Fn mprotect "caddr_t addr" "int len" "int prot" .Sh DESCRIPTION The diff --git a/lib/libc/sys/msync.2 b/lib/libc/sys/msync.2 index d976e30..88dd7f7 100644 --- a/lib/libc/sys/msync.2 +++ b/lib/libc/sys/msync.2 @@ -38,6 +38,8 @@ .Nm msync .Nd synchronize a mapped region .Sh SYNOPSIS +.Fd #include +.Fd #include .Fn msync "caddr_t addr" "int len" "int flags" .Sh DESCRIPTION The diff --git a/lib/libc/sys/munmap.2 b/lib/libc/sys/munmap.2 index b9e8a1b..d62ff37 100644 --- a/lib/libc/sys/munmap.2 +++ b/lib/libc/sys/munmap.2 @@ -38,6 +38,8 @@ .Nm munmap .Nd remove a mapping .Sh SYNOPSIS +.Fd #include +.Fd #include .Fn munmap "caddr_t addr" "size_t len" .Sh DESCRIPTION The -- cgit v1.1
