Virtual memory space layout.
|
|
|
|
The first 4 digits of an address can be ignored, they are also ignored by the MMU,
|
|
but for clarity / readability reasons they are `FFFF` in the kernel space.
|
|
See _General Concepts / Memory Layout_(todo: add reference) and _General Concepts / Process Memory Isolation_(todo: add reference) for more details.

| Name | Start | Description |
|
|
|----------------------------------|--------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `MEM_REGION_PROCESS` | 0x0000000000000000 | This is the start of the process space |
|
|
| `MEM_REGION_PROCESS_EXEC` | 0x0000010000000000 | Every processes' executable will be mapped here |
|
|
| `MEM_REGION_PROCESS_THREAD_BASE` | 0x0000010100000000 | The start of the _Thread Data_ regions |
|
|
| `MEM_REGION_KERNEL` | 0xFFFF800000000000 | This is the start of the kernel space |
|
|
| `MEM_REGION_KERNEL_STACK_DUMMY` | 0xFFFFF00000000000 | This area is used when preparing a threads' stack |
|
|
| `MEM_REGION_KERNEL_HEAP` | 0xFFFFF80000000000 | The kernels' heap begins here |
|
|
| `MEM_REGION_KERNEL_THREAD_BASE` | 0xFFFFFF0000000000 | The kernel processes' _Thread Data_ regions |
|
|
| `MEM_REGION_KERNELEXEC` | 0xFFFFFFFF80000000 | The kernel executable is mapped here |
|
|
|
|
# `MEM_REGION_THREAD_OFFSET` - macro
|
|
This time the threads id specifies its offset in its processes' _Thread Data_ region.
|
|
|
|
# `KERNEL_START_ADDRESS` - macro
|
|
Returns the address of _kernel_start.
|
|
|
|
# `KERNEL_END_ADDRESS` - macro
|
|
Returns the address of _kernel_end.
|
|
|
|
# `_kernel_start` - global variable
|
|
This symbol is inserted by the linker at the beginning of the kernel.
|
|
To access its value use KERNEL_START_ADDRESS.
|
|
|
|
# `_kernel_end` - global variable
|
|
This symbol is inserted by the linker at the end of the kernel.
|
|
To access its value use KERNEL_END_ADDRESS.
