|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The global variable
|
||
|
.Va zero_region
|
||
|
points to a read-only region prefilled with zeroes.
|
||
|
The size of the region is specified by the
|
||
|
.Dv ZERO_REGION_SIZE
|
||
|
macro.
|
||
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
||
|
The region
|
||
|
.Va zero_region
|
||
|
points to is mapped to the same page multiple times.
