Linux内核地址空间的布局

1) Linux将整个4G线性地址空间分为用户空间和内核空间两部分,而内核地址空间又被划分为"物理内存区", "虚拟内存分配区", "高端页面映射区",

"专用页面映射区", "系统保留映射区"几个区域.

2) 在支持扩展页长(PSE)和全局页面(PGE)的机器上, 物理区使用4M页面并作为全局页面来处理.

当系统物理内存大于896M时, 超过物理区的那部分内存称为高端内存,

低端内存和高端内存用highmem_start_page变量来定界,

内核在存取高端内存时必须将它们映射到"高端页面映射区".

3) Linux保留内核空间最顶部128K区域作为保留区,

紧接保留区以下的一段区域为专用页面映射区,

它的总尺寸和每一页的用途由fixed_address枚举结构在编绎时预定义,

用__fix_to_virt(index)可获取专用区内预定义页面的逻辑地址.

在专用页面区内为每个CPU预定义了一张高端内存映射页, 用于在中断处理中高端页面的映射操作.

4) 距离内核空间顶部32M, 长度为4M的一段区域为高端内存映射区,

它正好占用1个页帧表所表示的物理内存总量, 它可以缓冲1024个高端页面的映射.

在物理区和高端映射区之间为虚存内存分配区, 用于vmalloc()函数,

它的前部与物理区有8M隔离带, 后部与高端映射区有8K的隔离带.

5) 当系统物理内存超过4G时,

必须使用CPU的扩展分页(PAE)模式所提供的64位页目录项才能存取到4G以上的物理内存.

在PAE模式下, 线性地址到物理地址的转换使用3级页表, 第1级页目录由线性地址的最高2位索引,

每一目录项对应1G的寻址空间, 第2级页目录项以9位索引, 每一目录项对应2M的寻址空间,

第3级页目录项以9位索引, 每一目录项对应4K的页帧.

除了页目录项所描述的物理地址扩展为36位外, 64位和32位页目录项结构没有什么区别.

在PAE模式下, 包含PSE位的中级页目录项所对应的页面从4M减少为2M.

/* Just any arbitrary offset to the start of the vmalloc VM area: the

* current 8MB value just means that there will be a 8MB "hole" after the

* physical memory until the kernel virtual memory starts. That means that

* any out-of-bounds memory accesses will hopefully be caught.

* The vmalloc() routines leaves a hole of 4kB between each vmalloced

* area for the same reason. ;)
