The value of .Fa va must belong to a valid mapping in the kernel address space. .Pp .Fn vtophys is an alias for .Fn pmap_kextract and behaves identically. .Sh RETURN VALUES The .Fn pmap_kextract function returns the address of physical memory mapped at the kernel virtual address .Fa va . .Pp .Fn pmap_kextract generally does not fail. However, if supplied with an illegitimate value for .Fa va , the function may return zero, an invalid non-zero value, or call .Xr panic 9 . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr pmap 9 , .Xr pmap_extract 9 .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit This manual page was written by .An Mina Galić Aq Mt FreeBSD@igalic.co , based on the .Xr pmap_extract 9 page written by .An Bruce M Simpson Aq Mt bms@spc.org .
