地址空间细致入微+深入了解页表

地址空间保存了什么？

页表到底是怎么存储的

我们都知道，我们进程看到的空间其实是虚拟内存，真正的内存是需要页表的映射才能找到真正的物理内存，那么我我们有两个问题的引出那么进程地址空间是保存了什么呢？页表是将全部地址都映射了对应到页表项吗？

地址空间保存了什么？

其实地址空间的每个区保存了两个地址。我们拿堆区做例子

mm_struct对堆区其实也只是保存了这个堆区使用的开始与结束，再mm_struct中其实有一个指针，指针指向着一个链双向边表的起始位置

vm_area_struct这个是个结构体

<include/linux/mm_types.h>
struct vm_area_struct {
    /* The first cache line has the info for VMA tree walking. */

    unsigned long vm_start;     /* Our start address within vm_mm. */
    unsigned long vm_end;       /* The first byte after our end address
                       within vm_mm. */
/*[vm_start, vm_end) 这么个情况，表示一块虚拟内存空间*/
    /* linked list of VM areas per task, sorted by address */
    struct vm_area_struct *vm_next, *vm_prev;
/*在mm->mmap链表中前后节点*/
    struct rb_node vm_rb;
/*插入到mm->mm_rb红黑树的节点*/
    /*
     * Largest free memory gap in bytes to the left of this VMA.
     * Either between this VMA and vma->vm_prev, or between one of the
     * VMAs below us in the VMA rbtree and its ->vm_prev. This helps
     * get_unmapped_area find a free area of the right size.
     */
    unsigned long rb_subtree_gap;
/*以当前vma为根，左子树中最大可用虚拟内存区域的大小*/
    /* Second cache line starts here. */

    struct mm_struct *vm_mm;    /* The address space we belong to. */
/*同一进程所有的vma指向的vm_mm是相同的*/
    pgprot_t vm_page_prot;      /* Access permissions of this VMA. */
/*访问权限*/
    unsigned long vm_flags;     /* Flags, see mm.h. */
/*属性，详看mm.h*/
    /*
     * For areas with an address space and backing store,
     * linkage into the address_space->i_mmap interval tree.
     *
     * For private anonymous mappings, a pointer to a null terminated string
     * in the user process containing the name given to the vma, or NULL
     * if unnamed.
     */
    union {
        struct {
            struct rb_node rb;
            unsigned long rb_subtree_last;
        } shared;
        const char __user *anon_name;
    };

    /*
     * A file's MAP_PRIVATE vma can be in both i_mmap tree and anon_vma
     * list, after a COW of one of the file pages.  A MAP_SHARED vma
     * can only be in the i_mmap tree.  An anonymous MAP_PRIVATE, stack
     * or brk vma (with NULL file) can only be in an anon_vma list.
