.SH DESCRIPTION
Register a memory address range with the userfaultfd object.
The pages in the range must be \[lq]compatible\[rq].
Please refer to the list of register modes below
for the compatible memory backends for each mode.
.P
The
.I argp->range
field defines a memory range starting at
.I argp->range.start
and continuing for
.I argp->range.len
bytes that should be handled by the userfaultfd.
.P
The
.I argp->mode
field defines the mode of operation desired for this memory region.
The following values may be bitwise ORed to set the userfaultfd mode for
the specified range:
.TP
.B UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING
Track page faults on missing pages.
Since Linux 4.3,
only private anonymous ranges are compatible.
Since Linux 4.11,
hugetlbfs and shared memory ranges are also compatible.
.TP
.B UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP
Track page faults on write-protected pages.
Since Linux 5.7,
only private anonymous ranges are compatible.
.TP
.B UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MINOR
Track minor page faults.
Since Linux 5.13,
only hugetlbfs ranges are compatible.
Since Linux 5.14,
compatibility with shmem ranges was added.
.P
If the operation is successful, the kernel modifies the
.I argp->ioctls
bit-mask field to indicate which
.BR ioctl (2)
operations are available for the specified range.
This returned bit mask can contain the following bits:
.TP
.B 1 << _UFFDIO_COPY
The
.B UFFDIO_COPY
operation is supported.
.TP
.B 1 << _UFFDIO_WAKE
The
.B UFFDIO_WAKE
operation is supported.
.TP
.B 1 << _UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
The
.B UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
operation is supported.
.TP
.B 1 << _UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE
The
.B UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE
operation is supported.
.TP
.B 1 << _UFFDIO_CONTINUE
The
.B UFFDIO_CONTINUE
operation is supported.
.TP
.B 1 << _UFFDIO_POISON
The
.B UFFDIO_POISON
operation is supported.
.SH RETURN VALUE
On success,
0 is returned.
On error, \-1 is returned and
.I errno
is set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
.\" FIXME Is the following error list correct?
.\"
.TP
.B EBUSY
A mapping in the specified range is registered with another
userfaultfd object.
.TP
.B EFAULT
.I argp
refers to an address that is outside the calling process's
accessible address space.
.TP
.B EINVAL
An invalid or unsupported bit was specified in the
.I mode
field;
or the
.I mode
field was zero.
.TP
.B EINVAL
There is no mapping in the specified address range.
.TP
.B EINVAL
.I range.start
or
.I range.len
is not a multiple of the system page size;
or,
.I range.len
is zero;
or these fields are otherwise invalid.
.TP
.B EINVAL
There as an incompatible mapping in the specified address range.
.\" Mike Rapoport:
.\" ENOMEM if the process is exiting and the
.\" mm_struct has gone by the time userfault grabs it.
.SH STANDARDS
