Linux fork写时赋值技术(copy-on-write)

Here is the basic concept:

Copy-on-write (sometimes referred to as “COW”) is an optimization strategy used in computer programming. The fundamental idea is that if multiple callers ask for resources which are initially indistinguishable, you can give them pointers to the same resource. This function can be maintained until a caller tries to modify its “copy” of the resource, at which point a true private copy is created to prevent the changes becoming visible to everyone else. All of this happens transparently to the callers. The primary advantage is that if a caller never makes any modifications, no private copy need ever be created.

COW技术初窥：

在Linux程序中，fork（）会产生一个和父进程完全相同的子进程，但子进程在此后多会执行exec系统调用，出于效率考虑，linux中引入了“写时复制“技术，也就是只有进程空间的各段的内容要发生变化时，才会将父进程的内容复制一份给子进程。

那么子进程的物理空间没有代码，
