Methods and systems for memory management of kernel and user spaces

Abstract:

The present application provides methods and systems for memory management of a kernel space and a user space. An exemplary system for memory management of the kernel space and the user space may include a first storing unit configured to store a first root page table index corresponding to the kernel space. The system may also include a second storing unit configured to store a second root page table index corresponding to the user space. The system may further include a control unit communicatively coupled to the first and second registers and configured to: translate a first virtual address to a first physical address in accordance with the first root page table index for an operating system kernel, and translate a second virtual address to a second physical address in accordance with the second root page table index for a user process.
