+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The machine-independent
+.Nm
+interface provides per-CPU, CPU-local memory reservations to kernel
+subsystems.
+.Fo percpu_alloc
+.Fa size
+.Fc
+reserves on each CPU an independent memory region of
+.Fa size
+bytes that is local to that CPU, returning a handle
+.Po
+.Vt percpu_t
+.Pc
+to those regions.
+A thread may subsequently ask for a pointer,
+.Fa p ,
+to the region held by the
+.Vt percpu_t
+on the thread's current CPU.
+Until the thread relinquishes the pointer, or voluntarily sleeps,
+the thread may read or write the region at
+.Fa p
+without causing interprocessor memory synchronization.
+.Sh FUNCTIONS
+.Bl -tag -width compact
+.It Fn percpu_alloc "size"
+Call this in thread context to allocate
+.Fa size
+bytes of local storage on each CPU.
+The storage is initialized with zeroes.
+Treat this as an expensive operation.
+.Fn percpu_alloc
+returns a handle for the per-CPU storage.
+.It Fn percpu_create "size" "ctor" "dtor" "arg"
+Like
+.Fn percpu_alloc ,
+but before any access to the storage on any CPU, arrange to call
+.Fn "(*ctor)" p arg ci ,
+where
+.Fa p
+is the pointer to that CPU's storage and
+.Fa ci
+is the
+.Vt "struct cpu_info *"
+for that CPU.
+This may happen synchronously in
+.Fn percpu_create
+or when a CPU is attached later.
+Further, arrange that
+.Fn percpu_free
+will do the same with
+.Fn "(*dtor)" p arg ci .
+.Pp
+.Fa ctor
+and
+.Fa dtor
+.Em MAY
+sleep, e.g. to allocate memory or to wait for users to drain before
+deallocating memory.
+Do not rely on any particular order of iteration over the CPUs.
+.It Fn percpu_free "pc" "size"
+Call this in thread context to
+return to the system the per-CPU storage held by
+.Fa pc .
+.Fa size
+should match the
+.Fa size
+passed to
+.Fn percpu_alloc
+or
+.Fn percpu_create .
+When
+.Fn percpu_free
+returns,
+.Fa pc
+is undefined.
+Treat this as an expensive operation.
+.It Fn percpu_getref "pc"
+Disable preemption and return a pointer to the storage held by
+.Fa pc
+on the local CPU.
+Use
+.Fn percpu_getref
+in either thread or interrupt context.
+Follow each
+.Fn percpu_getref
+call with a matching call to
+.Fn percpu_putref .
+.Pp
+Caller
+.Em MUST NOT
+sleep after
+.Fn percpu_getref ,
+not even on an adaptive lock, before
+.Fn percpu_putref .
+.It Fn percpu_putref "pc"
+Indicate that the thread is finished
+with the pointer returned by the matching
+call to
+.Fn percpu_getref .
+Re-enables preemption.
+.It Fn percpu_foreach "pc" "cb" "arg"
+For each CPU, with
+.Fa ci
+being the corresponding
+.Vt "struct cpu_info *"
+and
+.Fa "p"
+the CPU-local storage held by
+.Fa pc ,
+run
+.Fo "(*cb)"
+.Fa "p"
+.Fa "arg"
+.Fa "ci"
+.Fc .
+The call to
+.Fa cb
+runs in the current thread; use
+.Fn percpu_foreach_xcall
+to execute the call to
+.Fa cb
+on the remote CPUs.
+.Pp
+Must be used in thread context.
+.Fa cb
+.Em MUST NOT
+sleep except on adaptive locks, and should be fast.
+Do not rely on any particular order of iteration over the CPUs.
+.It Fn percpu_foreach_xcall "pc" "xcflags" "cb" "arg"
+Like
+.Fn percpu_foreach ,
+except the call to
+.Fa cb
+executes on the remote CPUs.
+The
+.Fa xcflags
+argument specifies how the cross calls are invoked; see
+.Xr xc_broadcast 9 .
+The same caveats and restrictions that apply to
+.Fn percpu_foreach
+also apply to
+.Fn percpu_foreach_xcall .
