89 * The mincore(2) system call.
91 * mincore() returns the memory residency status of the pages in the
92 * current process's address space specified by [addr, addr + len).
93 * The status is returned in a vector of bytes. The least significant
94 * bit of each byte is 1 if the referenced page is in memory, otherwise
97 * Because the status of a page can change after mincore() checks it
98 * but before it returns to the application, the returned vector may
99 * contain stale information. Only locked pages are guaranteed to
104 * -EFAULT - vec points to an illegal address
105 * -EINVAL - addr is not a multiple of PAGE_CACHE_SIZE
106 * -ENOMEM - Addresses in the range [addr, addr + len] are
107 * invalid for the address space of this process, or
108 * specify one or more pages which are not currently
110 * -EAGAIN - A kernel resource was temporarily unavailable.
