42 * This structure defines the STACK allocator used by the VMM to dynamically handle
43 * a STACK vseg requested or released by an user process.
44 * This allocator handles a fixed size array of fixed size slots in the STACK zone.
45 * The stack size and the number of slots are defined by the CONFIG_VMM_STACK_SIZE, and
46 * CONFIG_VMM_STACK_BASE parameters.
47 * Each slot can contain one user stack vseg. The first page in the slot is not allocated
48 * to detect stack overflow.
49 * The slot index can be computed form the slot base address, and reversely.
50 * All allocation / release operations are registered in the stack_bitmap, that completely
51 * define the STACK zone state.

63 * This structure defines the MMAP allocator used by the VMM to dynamically handle

65 * This allocator should be only used in the reference cluster.
66 * - allocation policy : all allocated vsegs occupy an integer number of pages that is
67 *   power of 2, and are aligned on a page boundary. The requested number of pages is
68 *   rounded if required. The first_free_vpn variable defines completely the MMAP zone state.
69 *   It is never decremented, as the released vsegs are simply registered in a zombi_list.
70 *   The relevant zombi_list is checked first for each allocation request.
71 * - release policy : a released MMAP vseg is registered in an array of zombi_lists.
72 *   This array is indexed by ln(number of pages), and each entry contains the root of
73 *   a local list of zombi vsegs that have the same size. The physical memory allocated
74 *   for a zombi vseg descriptor is not released, to use the "list" field.
75 *   This physical memory allocated for MMAP vseg descriptors is actually released
76 *   when the VMM is destroyed.

90 * This structure defines the Virtual Memory Manager for a given process in a given cluster.
91 * This local VMM implements four main services:
92 * 1) It contains the local copy of vseg list (VSL), only complete in referrence.
93 * 2) It contains the local copy of the generic page table (GPT), only complete in reference.
94 * 3) The stack manager dynamically allocates virtual memory space for the STACK vsegs.
95 * 4) The mmap manager dynamically allocates virtual memory for the (FILE/ANON/REMOTE) vsegs.
96 ******************************************************a**************************************
97 * Implementation notes:
98 * 1. In most clusters, the VSL and GPT are only partial copies of the reference VSL and GPT
99 *    structures, stored in the reference cluster.
100 * 2. The VSL contains only local vsegs, but it is implemented as an xlist, and protected by
101 *    a remote_rwlock, because it can be accessed by a thread running in a remote cluster.
102 *    An exemple is the vmm_fork_copy() function.
103 * 3. The GPT in the reference cluster can be directly accessed by remote threads to handle
104 *    false page-fault (page is mapped in the reference GPT, but the PTE copy is missing
105 *    in the local GPT). It is also protected by a remote_rwlock.

387 * 1) If the missing VPN belongs to a private vseg (STACK or CODE segment types, non

389 *    It access the forks counter in the current physical page descriptor.

391 *    by the vseg type, copies the old physical page content to the new physical page,
392 *    and decrements the pending_fork counter in old physical page descriptor.
393 *    Finally, it reset the COW flag and set the WRITE flag in local GPT.
394 * 2) If the missing VPN is public, it access the reference GPT to get the current PPN and
395 *    ATTR. It access the forks counter in the current physical page descriptor.

397 *    by the vseg type, copies the old physical page content to the new physical page,
