Virtual Memory Layout on RISC-V Linux
=====================================
:Author: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@ghiti.fr>
:Date: 12 February 2021
This document describes the virtual memory layout used by the RISC-V Linux
Kernel.
RISC-V Linux Kernel 32bit
=========================
RISC-V Linux Kernel SV32
------------------------
TODO
RISC-V Linux Kernel 64bit
=========================
The RISC-V privileged architecture document states that the 64bit addresses
"must have bits 63–48 all equal to bit 47, or else a page-fault exception will
occur.": that splits the virtual address space into 2 halves separated by a very
big hole, the lower half is where the userspace resides, the upper half is where
the RISC-V Linux Kernel resides.
RISC-V Linux Kernel SV39
