pmap_map — map a physical memory range into kernel virtual address (KVA) space
Contents
Description
The pmap_map() function maps a range of physical addresses into kernel virtual address (KVA) space, from
start to end, with protection bits prot.
The value passed in *virt is treated as a hint for the virtual address of the beginning of the mapping.
Implementation Notes
The prot argument is currently ignored by machine-dependent implementations.
Architectures which can support a direct mapped physical to virtual region can return the appropriate
address within that region, leaving *virt unchanged.
Name
pmap_map — map a physical memory range into kernel virtual address (KVA) space
Return Values
The pmap_map() function returns the virtual address of the beginning of the mapping, if the mapping was
successfully made; *virt will also be updated with the first usable address after the mapped region.
If the function is unsuccessful, NULL is returned.
