munlock

Implemented in Antinomie 0.7.0 · Syscall list

Synopsis

long munlock(unsigned long start, size_t len);

Number (x86-64)	150
ABI	common
Kernel entry point	sys_munlock

This is the raw kernel prototype from the pinned Linux 6.12.94 schema, not the libc wrapper.

Description

Unlocks a range of pages locked with mlock.

Arguments

Name	Type	Meaning
start (arg0)	unsigned long	Start address of a memory range.
len (arg1)	size_t	Length in bytes.

Return value

On success: 0.

In an Antinomie trace the Return column and the ret filter field show the raw kernel return value. On failure that is the negative errno, for example -2 for ENOENT, not the -1 plus errno that the libc wrapper gives. syscall.errno holds the positive errno and syscall.success is false.

Common errors

Raw return	Name	Meaning
-12	ENOMEM	The kernel is out of memory.

Captured by Antinomie

Coverage mark: Implemented. All arguments are plain values, recorded as the raw argument words at entry. There is no pointee to copy and no known gap.

Every call is recorded as an Entry record (the six argument words and the pointees copied at entry) and an Exit record (the return value and the pointees copied at exit).

Arguments

Argument	When	How	Recorded field key	Condition
start (arg0)	Entry	raw scalar word	args.0, args.start
len (arg1)	Entry	raw scalar word	args.1, args.len

Filter fields

• Result: ret, syscall.errno, syscall.success, syscall.duration_ns.
• Argument words: args.start (arg0), args.len (arg1); args.0 to args.5 by position.

See Syscall Trace filter for the full syntax.
