linux 进程的内存布局

linux的进程有2种memory region layout:
1.classic layout
2.flexible layout
见<understanding the linux kernel>-819页
type of memory region                       classic layout                          flexible layout
text segment(elf)                               start from 0x08048000
data and bss segments                     start right after text
heap                                                  start right afte the data and bss

file memory mapping and                   start from 0x40000000           | starts near the end of the anonymous memory regions        libraries added at successive  | user mode

                                                           higter address                        |   stack;  libraries added

                                                                                                            at successive lower

                                                                                                            address
user mode stack                               start at 0xc0000000 and grows towards lower address

class layout的缺点在于heap的大小不能超过1g，flexible layout的缺点在于必须要知道stack使用的最大大小。
