页表:用于建立用户进程空间的虚拟地址空间和系统物理内存(内存、页帧)之间的关联。
向每个进程提供一致的虚拟地址空间。
将虚拟内存页映射到物理内存,因而支持共享内存的实现。
可以在不增加物理内存的情况下,将页换出到块设备来增加有效的可用内存空间。
内核内存管理总是假定使用四级页表。
3.3.1 数据结构
内核源代码假定void *和unsigned long long类型所需的比特位数相同,因此他们可以进行强制转换而不损失信息。即:假定sizeof(void *) == sizeof(unsigned long long),在Linux支持的所有体系结构上都是正确的。
1. 内存地址的分解
根据四级页表的结构需求,虚拟地址分为5部分。
各个体系结构不仅地址长度不一致,而且地址字拆分的方式也不同。因此内核定义了宏,用于将地址分解为各个分量。
BITS_PER_LONG定义用于unsigned long变量的比特位数目,因而也适用于指向虚拟地址空间的通用指针。
关于上述设计的宏例如PAGE_SHIFT的定义,是在文件page.h中定义的。在linux下,page.h的定义有2个地方,一个是linux-3.08/include/asm-generic/page.h,一个是在架构相关的目录,如mips是在linux-3.08/arch/mips/include/asm/page.h。一般而言,如果架构目录定义那么肯定会使用架构目录下的定义。
所以我们看看 linux-3.08/arch/mips/include/asm/page.h文件:

PAGE_SHIFT:最后一级页表项所需比特位的总是。对于32位系统,PAGE_SHIFT==12.
PAGE_SIZE: 一页的大小。对32位系统,PAGE_SIZE == 4096.

我只关心mips32架构的相关配置,所以,此时,对于四级页表的Linux,如何为mips32设置成3级页表?
Linux提供了通用的没有PUD和PMD的相关的配置。配置文件:linux-3.08/include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h和pgtable-nopud.h:

尽管:PMD_SHIFT和PUD_SHIFT都定义为PGDIR_SHIFT。但是关键字:PDRS_PER_PUD和PTRS_PER_PMD都定义为1。那么意义是什么呢?
PDRS_PER_PUD:指定了二级页表(PUD)所能存储的指针数目。
PDRS_PED_PMD:指定了三级页表(PMD)所能存储的指针数目。
设置为1,Linux内核还是以为是四级页表,但是实际上只有二级页表。
在PAGE_SHIFT代码中,我们看到了PAGE_MASK。类似存在:PUD_MASK、PMD_MASK、PGDIR_MASK。
那么这些MASK的作用是:从给定地址中提取各个分量。【用给定地址与对应的MASK位与即可获得各个分量】
2. 页表的格式
pgd_t:全局页目录项。
pud_t:上层页目录项。
pmd_t:中间页目录项。
pte_t:直接页表项。
typedef struct { unsigned long pgd; } pgd_t; typedef struct { pgd_t pgd; } pud_t; typedef struct { pgd_t pud; } pmd_t; typedef struct { unsigned long pte; } pte_t;
PAGE_ALIGN:将输入的地址对其到下一页的起始处。如页大小是4096,该宏总返回其倍数。PAGE_ALIGN(6000) = 8192.
3. 特定于PTE的信息
最后一级页表中的项不仅包含了只想页的内存位置的指针,还在上述的多余的比特位包含了与页有关的附加信息。这些信息特定于CPU,提供了页的访问控制信息。
详细内容不再细述。用到时我们再回头来看。
