Here is a simpler example.
---
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define SIZE (32 * 1024 * 1024)
int
main(void)
{
void *p;
char vec[SIZE / PAGE_SIZE];
p = malloc(SIZE);
if (mincore(p, SIZE, vec) != 0)
err(1, "mincore");
return (0);
}
---
mincore() locks the vmspace map, and initialises vec[] a byte at a time
using subyte(). When vec[] is sufficiently large, it is not all in core
initially and a page fault occurs in subyte(). The new stack growing
code locks the vmspace map early and panics.
