进程地址空间由进程可寻址的虚拟内存组成,Linux 的虚拟地址空间为0~4G字节(注:本节讲述均以32为为例)。Linux内核将这 4G 字节的空间分为两部分。将最高的 1G 字节(从虚拟地址0xC0000000到0xFFFFFFFF)。供内核使用,称为“内核空间”。
而将较低的 3G 字节(从虚拟地址 0x00000000 到 0xBFFFFFFF),供各个进程使用,称为“用户空间”
。
由于每一个进程能够通过系统调用进入内核。因此,Linux 内核由系统内的全部进程共享。于是,从详细进程的角度来看。每一个进程能够拥有 4G 字节的虚拟空间。
进程仅仅能訪问合法的地址空间,假设一个进程訪问了不合法的地址空间。内核就会终止该进程。并返回“段错误”。
虚拟内存的合法地址空间在哪而呢?我们先来看看进程虚拟地址空间的划分:

在虚拟地址空间中,仅仅有那些映射到物理存储空间的地址才是合法的地址空间。每一片合法的地址空间片段都相应一个独立的虚拟内存区域(VMA,virtual memory areas )。而进程的进程地址空间就是由这些内存区域组成。

由此可看出,Linux并不将映像装入到物理内存。相反。可运行文件仅仅是被连接到进程的虚拟地址空间中。随着程序的运行。被引用的程序部分会由操作系统装入到物理内存。这样的将映像链接到进程地址空间的方法被称为“内存映射”。
vm_area_struct 结构代表可运行映像的一部分。可能是可运行代码,也可能是初始化的变量或未初始化的数据。这些都是在函数
do_mmap()中来实现的。随着 vm_area_struct 结构的生成,这些结构所描写叙述的虚拟内存区间上的标准操作函数也由 Linux 初始化。
static inline unsigned long do_mmap(struct file *file, unsigned long addr,
unsigned long len, unsigned long prot,
unsigned long flag, unsigned long offset)
{
unsigned long ret = -EINVAL;
if ((offset + PAGE_ALIGN(len)) < offset)
goto out;
if (!(offset & ~PAGE_MASK))
ret = do_mmap_pgoff(file, addr, len, prot, flag, offset >> PAGE_SHIFT);
out:
return ret;
}
定义于<include/linux/mm.h>。
函数中參数的含义:
file:表示要映射的文件。
offset\:文件内的偏移量。由于我们并非一下子所有映射一个文件,可能仅仅是映射文件的一部分,off 就表示那部分的起始位置。
len:要映射的文件部分的长度。
addr:虚拟空间中的一个地址,表示从这个地址開始查找一个空暇的虚拟区。
prot: 这个參数指定对这个虚拟区所包括页的存取权限。可能的标志有 PROT_READ、PROT_WRITE、PROT_EXEC 和 PROT_NONE。前 3 个标志与标志 VM_READ、VM_WRITE 及 VM_EXEC的意义一样。PROT_NONE 表示进程没有以上 3 个存取权限中的随意一个。
flag:这个參数指定虚拟区的其它标志。
该函数调用 do_mmap_pgoff()函数,该函数做内存映射的主要工作。该函数比較长。具体实现可查看<mm/mmap.c>文件。
由于文件到虚存的映射不过建立了一种映射关系,虚存页面到物理页面之间的映射还没有建立。当某个可运行映象映射到进程虚拟内存中并開始运行时,由于唯独非常少一部分虚拟内存区间装入到了物理内存,非常可能会遇到所訪问的数据不在物理内存。这时。处理器将向 Linux
报告一个页故障及其相应的故障原因,
内核必须从磁盘映像或交换文件(此页被换出)中将其装入物理内存,这就是请页机制。
