1. The amd64 pmap, unlike the i386 pmap, maintains a reference count for each page directory (PD) page. However, in the transformation of the i386 pmap into the amd64 pmap, operations, such as pmap_copy() and pmap_object_init_pt(), that create 2MB "superpage" mappings by setting the PG_PS bit in a PD entry were not modified to adjust the underlying PD page's reference count. Consequently, superpage mappings could disappear prematurely. 2. pmap_object_init_pt() could crash or corrupt memory if either the virtual address range being mapped crosses a 1GB boundary in the virtual address space or nothing is mapped in the 1GB area. 3. When pmap_allocpte() destroys a 2MB "superpage" mapping it does not reduce the pmap's resident count accordingly. It should. (This bug is inherited from i386.)
