zx_vmar_map

Summary

Add a memory mapping.

Declaration

#include <zircon/syscalls.h>

zx_status_t zx_vmar_map(zx_handle_t handle,
                        zx_vm_option_t options,
                        size_t vmar_offset,
                        zx_handle_t vmo,
                        uint64_t vmo_offset,
                        size_t len,
                        zx_vaddr_t* mapped_addr);

Description

Maps the given VMO into the given virtual memory address region. The mapping retains a reference to the underlying virtual memory object, which means closing the VMO handle does not remove the mapping added by this function.

options is a bit vector of the following:

  • ZX_VM_SPECIFIC Use the vmar_offset to place the mapping, invalid if handle does not have the ZX_VM_CAN_MAP_SPECIFIC permission. vmar_offset is an offset relative to the base address of the given VMAR. It is an error to specify a range that overlaps with another VMAR or mapping.
  • ZX_VM_SPECIFIC_OVERWRITE Same as ZX_VM_SPECIFIC, but can overlap another mapping. It is still an error to partially-overlap another VMAR. If the range meets these requirements, it will atomically (with respect to all other map/unmap/protect operations) replace existing mappings in the range specified by vmar_offset and len. If that range partially overlaps any mappings, then the portions of those mappings outside the range will remain mapped.
  • ZX_VM_OFFSET_IS_UPPER_LIMIT Interpret the vmar_offset as an upper limit to constrain the selection of the offset by the kernel, invalid if handle does not have the ZX_VM_CAN_MAP_SPECIFIC permission. The resulting mapping will have an offset + len that is <= vmar_offset. This option cannot be specified if ZX_VM_SPECIFIC or ZX_VM_SPECIFIC_OVERWRITE is used.
  • ZX_VM_PERM_READ Map vmo as readable. It is an error if handle does not have ZX_VM_CAN_MAP_READ permissions, the handle does not have the ZX_RIGHT_READ right, or the vmo handle does not have the ZX_RIGHT_READ right.
  • ZX_VM_PERM_WRITE Map vmo as writable. It is an error if handle does not have ZX_VM_CAN_MAP_WRITE permissions, the handle does not have the ZX_RIGHT_WRITE right, the vmo handle does not have the ZX_RIGHT_WRITE right, or options does not specify ZX_VM_PERM_READ.
  • ZX_VM_PERM_EXECUTE Map vmo as executable. It is an error if handle does not have ZX_VM_CAN_MAP_EXECUTE permissions, the handle handle does not have the ZX_RIGHT_EXECUTE right, the vmo handle does not have the ZX_RIGHT_EXECUTE right, or options does not specify ZX_VM_PERM_READ.
  • ZX_VM_MAP_RANGE Immediately page into the new mapping all backed regions of the VMO. This cannot be specified if ZX_VM_SPECIFIC_OVERWRITE is used.
  • ZX_VM_ALLOW_FAULTS Required if it would be possible for the created mapping to generate faults. In particular, it is required if vmo is resizable, if vmo is non-resizable but the mapping extends past the end of vmo, if vmo is discardable, or if vmo was created from zx_pager_create_vmo().
  • ZX_VM_PERM_READ_IF_XOM_UNSUPPORTED Map vmo as readable if the system does not support mapping execute-only pages. If the system can map execute-only this flag is ignored.

vmar_offset must be 0 if options does not have ZX_VM_SPECIFIC, ZX_VM_SPECIFIC_OVERWRITE or ZX_VM_OFFSET_IS_UPPER_LIMIT set. ZX_VM_OFFSET_IS_UPPER_LIMIT serves to constrain the selection range, and otherwise behaves similarly to the case where neither ZX_VM_SPECIFIC nor ZX_VM_SPECIFIC_OVERWRITE are set, with the mapping being assigned an offset at random by the kernel (with an allocator determined by policy set on the target VMAR).

len must be non-zero and page-aligned.

In addition one of the following power-of-two alignment flags can added:

  • ZX_VM_ALIGN_1KB aligns child_addr to a power-of-2 at least 1K bytes.
  • ZX_VM_ALIGN_2KB aligns child_addr to a power-of-2 at least 2K bytes.
  • ZX_VM_ALIGN_4KB aligns child_addr to a power-of-2 at least 4K bytes.
  • ZX_VM_ALIGN_8KB aligns child_addr to a power-of-2 at least 8K bytes. and continues up to
  • ZX_VM_ALIGN_4GB aligns child_addr to a power-of-2 at least 4G bytes.

Using ZX_VM_ALIGN flags with ZX_VM_SPECIFIC will fail if the vmar base address + vmo_offset are not aligned to the requested value.

Rights

handle must be of type ZX_OBJ_TYPE_VMAR.

vmo must be of type ZX_OBJ_TYPE_VMO.

Return value

zx_vmar_map() returns ZX_OK and the absolute base address of the mapping (via mapped_addr) on success. The base address will be page-aligned and non-zero. In the event of failure, a negative error value is returned.

Errors

ZX_ERR_BAD_HANDLE handle or vmo is not a valid handle.

ZX_ERR_WRONG_TYPE handle or vmo is not a VMAR or VMO handle, respectively.

ZX_ERR_BAD_STATE handle refers to a destroyed VMAR.

ZX_ERR_INVALID_ARGS for any of the following: - mapped_addr or options is not valid. - vmar_offset is non-zero when none of ZX_VM_SPECIFIC, ZX_VM_SPECIFIC_OVERWRITE or ZX_VM_OFFSET_IS_UPPER_LIMIT is specified. - ZX_VM_SPECIFIC_OVERWRITE and ZX_VM_MAP_RANGE are both specified. - ZX_VM_OFFSET_IS_UPPER_LIMIT is specified together with either ZX_VM_SPECIFIC or ZX_VM_SPECIFIC_OVERWRITE. - vmar_offset and len describe an unsatisfiable allocation due to exceeding the region bounds. - vmar_offset or vmo_offset is not page-aligned. - len is 0 or not page-aligned.

ZX_ERR_ALREADY_EXISTS ZX_VM_SPECIFIC has been specified without ZX_VM_SPECIFIC_OVERWRITE, and the requested range overlaps with another mapping.

ZX_ERR_NO_RESOURCES If a spot could not be found in the VMAR to create the mapping.

ZX_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED Insufficient privileges to make the requested mapping.

ZX_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED If the vmo is resizable, discardable, or backed by a pager but ZX_VM_ALLOW_FAULTS is not set.

ZX_ERR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL The VMO is not resizable and the mapping extends past the end of the VMO but ZX_VM_ALLOW_FAULTS is not set.

ZX_ERR_NO_MEMORY Failure due to lack of memory. There is no good way for userspace to handle this (unlikely) error. In a future build this error will no longer occur.

ZX_ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE vmo_offset + ROUNDUP(len, PAGE_SIZE) overflows.

Notes

The VMO that backs a memory mapping can be resized to a smaller size. This can cause the thread is reading or writing to the VMAR region to fault. To avoid this hazard, services that receive VMOs from clients should use ZX_VM_REQUIRE_NON_RESIZABLE when mapping the VMO.
