|
|---|
| 25 | * What's an address space? It's mainly a convenient way of stuffing
|
|---|
| 26 | * module segments and ad-hoc symbols together. It will also help out
|
|---|
| 27 | * when the debugger gets extended to deal with user processes later.
|
|---|
| 28 | *
|
|---|
| 29 | * There are two standard address spaces that will always be present:
|
|---|
| 30 | * - The physical address space.
|
|---|
| 31 | * - The global virtual address space.
|
|---|
| 32 | *
|
|---|
| 33 | * Additional address spaces will be added and removed at runtime for
|
|---|
| 34 | * guest processes. The global virtual address space will be used to
|
|---|
| 35 | * track the kernel parts of the OS, or at least the bits of the kernel
|
|---|
| 36 | * that is part of all address spaces (mac os x and 4G/4G patched linux).
