7 | <para>Task ID - unique 64 bit number. Used for syscalls.</para> |
||
8 | <para>Contains threads</para> |

9 | <para>Address space is created per task</para> |

10 | <para>Memory mapping is per task</para> |
||
11 | <para>Context per thread. (Note 2 stacks on IA64).</para> |

||
16 | <para> |
||
17 | Zones - linked list (not many zones, so we can afford it. Can be replaced with B-tree in the future) |
||
18 | Number of zones depends on HW tables. Describe zone allocation/deallocation algoritm |
||
19 | </para> |
||
20 | jermar | 20 | <para>Page tables. 4 level hierarchical and hash directly supported. B+ Tree can be implemented.</para> |
16 | bondari | 21 | <para>For paging there is an abstract layer</para> |
22 | <para>TLB shootdown implementation (update TLB upon mapping update/remove). |
||
23 | TLB shootdown ASID/ASID:PAGE/ALL. |
||
24 | TLB shootdown requests can come in asynchroniously |
||
25 | so there is a cache of TLB shootdown requests. Upon cache overflow TLB shootdown ALL is executed</para> |
||
26 | |||
27 | <para> |
||
28 | Address spaces. Address space area (B+ tree). Only for uspace. Set of syscalls (shrink/extend etc). |
||
29 | Special address space area type - device - prohibits shrink/extend syscalls to call on it. |
||
30 | Address space has link to mapping tables (hierarchical - per Address space, hash - global tables). |
||
31 | </para> |
