29.Sh NAME
30.Nm pmap_map
31.Nd map a physical memory range into kernel virtual address (KVA) space
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.In sys/param.h
34.In vm/vm.h
35.In vm/pmap.h
36.Ft vm_offset_t
37.Fo pmap_map
38.Fa "vm_offset_t *virt" "vm_paddr_t start" "vm_paddr_t end" "int prot"
39.Fc
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Fn pmap_map
43function maps a range of physical addresses into kernel virtual address (KVA)
44space, from
45.Fa start
46to
47.Fa end ,
48with protection bits
49.Fa prot .
50.Pp
51The value passed in
52.Fa *virt
53is treated as a hint for the virtual address of the beginning of the mapping.
54.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
55The
56.Fa prot
57argument is currently ignored by machine-dependent implementations.
58.Pp
59Architectures which can support a direct mapped physical to virtual
60region can return the appropriate address within that region, leaving
61.Fa *virt
62unchanged.
63.Sh RETURN VALUES
64The
65.Fn pmap_map
66function returns the virtual address of the beginning of the mapping, if
67the mapping was successfully made;
68.Fa *virt
69will also be updated with the first usable address after the mapped region.
70.Pp
71If the function is unsuccessful,
72.Dv NULL
73is returned.
