+ioctl_userfaultfd \- create a file descriptor for handling page faults in user

+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library

+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Various
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operations can be performed on a userfaultfd object (created by a call to
+.BR userfaultfd (2))
+using calls of the form:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+ioctl(fd, cmd, argp);
+.EE
+.in
+In the above,
+.I fd
+is a file descriptor referring to a userfaultfd object,
+.I cmd
+is one of the commands listed below, and
+.I argp
+is a pointer to a data structure that is specific to
+.IR cmd .
+.PP
+The various
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operations are described below.
+The
+.BR UFFDIO_API ,
+.BR UFFDIO_REGISTER ,
+and
+.B UFFDIO_UNREGISTER
+operations are used to
+.I configure
+userfaultfd behavior.
+These operations allow the caller to choose what features will be enabled and
+what kinds of events will be delivered to the application.
+The remaining operations are
+.I range
+operations.
+These operations enable the calling application to resolve page-fault
+events.
+.\"
+.SS UFFDIO_API
+(Since Linux 4.3.)
+Enable operation of the userfaultfd and perform API handshake.
+.PP
+The
+.I argp
+argument is a pointer to a
+.I uffdio_api
+structure, defined as:
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct uffdio_api {
+ __u64 api; /* Requested API version (input) */
+ __u64 features; /* Requested features (input/output) */
+ __u64 ioctls; /* Available ioctl() operations (output) */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+The
+.I api
+field denotes the API version requested by the application.
+.PP
+The kernel verifies that it can support the requested API version,
+and sets the
+.I features
+and
+.I ioctls
+fields to bit masks representing all the available features and the generic
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operations available.
+.PP
+Before Linux 4.11, the
+.I features
+field must be initialized to zero before the call to
+.BR UFFDIO_API ,
+and zero (i.e., no feature bits) is placed in the
+.I features
+field by the kernel upon return from
+.BR ioctl (2).
+.PP
+Starting from Linux 4.11, the
+.I features
+field can be used to ask whether particular features are supported
+and explicitly enable userfaultfd features that are disabled by default.
+The kernel always reports all the available features in the
+.I features
+field.
+.PP
+To enable userfaultfd features the application should set
+a bit corresponding to each feature it wants to enable in the
+.I features
+field.
+If the kernel supports all the requested features it will enable them.
+Otherwise it will zero out the returned
+.I uffdio_api
+structure and return
+.BR EINVAL .
+.\" FIXME add more details about feature negotiation and enablement
+.PP
+The following feature bits may be set:
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK " (since Linux 4.11)"
+When this feature is enabled,
+the userfaultfd objects associated with a parent process are duplicated
+into the child process during
+.BR fork (2)
+and a
+.B UFFD_EVENT_FORK
+event is delivered to the userfaultfd monitor
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_REMAP " (since Linux 4.11)"
+If this feature is enabled,
+when the faulting process invokes
+.BR mremap (2),
+the userfaultfd monitor will receive an event of type
+.BR UFFD_EVENT_REMAP .
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_REMOVE " (since Linux 4.11)"
+If this feature is enabled,
+when the faulting process calls
+.BR madvise (2)
+with the
+.B MADV_DONTNEED
+or
+.B MADV_REMOVE
+advice value to free a virtual memory area
+the userfaultfd monitor will receive an event of type
+.BR UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE .
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_UNMAP " (since Linux 4.11)"
+If this feature is enabled,
+when the faulting process unmaps virtual memory either explicitly with
+.BR munmap (2),
+or implicitly during either
+.BR mmap (2)
+or
+.BR mremap (2),
+the userfaultfd monitor will receive an event of type
+.BR UFFD_EVENT_UNMAP .
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_HUGETLBFS " (since Linux 4.11)"
+If this feature bit is set,
+the kernel supports registering userfaultfd ranges on hugetlbfs
+virtual memory areas
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_MISSING_SHMEM " (since Linux 4.11)"
+If this feature bit is set,
+the kernel supports registering userfaultfd ranges on shared memory areas.
+This includes all kernel shared memory APIs:
+System V shared memory,
+.BR tmpfs (5),
+shared mappings of
+.IR /dev/zero ,
+.BR mmap (2)
+with the
+.B MAP_SHARED
+flag set,
+.BR memfd_create (2),
+and so on.
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_SIGBUS " (since Linux 4.14)"
+.\" commit 2d6d6f5a09a96cc1fec7ed992b825e05f64cb50e
+If this feature bit is set, no page-fault events
+.RB ( UFFD_EVENT_PAGEFAULT )
+will be delivered.
+Instead, a
+.B SIGBUS
+signal will be sent to the faulting process.
+Applications using this
+feature will not require the use of a userfaultfd monitor for processing
+memory accesses to the regions registered with userfaultfd.
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_THREAD_ID " (since Linux 4.14)"
+If this feature bit is set,
+.I uffd_msg.pagefault.feat.ptid
+will be set to the faulted thread ID for each page-fault message.
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_MINOR_HUGETLBFS " (since Linux 5.13)"
+If this feature bit is set,
+the kernel supports registering userfaultfd ranges
+in minor mode on hugetlbfs-backed memory areas.
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_MINOR_SHMEM " (since Linux 5.14)"
+If this feature bit is set,
+the kernel supports registering userfaultfd ranges
+in minor mode on shmem-backed memory areas.
+.TP
+.BR UFFD_FEATURE_EXACT_ADDRESS " (since Linux 5.18)"
+If this feature bit is set,
+.I uffd_msg.pagefault.address
+will be set to the exact page-fault address that was reported by the hardware,
+and will not mask the offset within the page.
+Note that old Linux versions might indicate the exact address as well,
+even though the feature bit is not set.
+.PP
+The returned
+.I ioctls
+field can contain the following bits:
+.\" FIXME This user-space API seems not fully polished. Why are there
+.\" not constants defined for each of the bit-mask values listed below?
