现代处理器使用的是虚拟寻址的方式,CPU 通过访问虚拟地址(Virtual Address),经过翻译获得物理地址,才能访问内存。这个翻译过程由 CPU 中的内存管理单元(Memory Management Unit,缩写为 MMU)完成。 具体流程如上图所示:首先会在 TLB(Translation Lookaside Buffer)中进行查询,它表位于 CPU 内部,查询速度最快;如果没有命...
PURPOSE:To reduce the overhead of an operating system (OS) by providing a mode unchanged flag on every specified area of a virtual space so that a memory protection exception processing can be executed while maintaining the traveling mode of a CPU at a non-priviledge mode when the flag ...
而管理这些内存地址的机制越来越多,需要的circuit越来越复杂,形成的unit就叫MMU memory management unit。OS 还需要在context switch切换程序的时候保存这两个register的值。 为了能够分配内存,OS必须知道有哪些内存可以分配,所以需要一个free list,创建process的时候分配内存,process结束放回free list。 一个完整的流程可...
In theory the Secure and Non-secure Physical Address spaces are independent of each other, and exist in parallel. A system could be designed to have two entirely separate memory systems. However, most real systems treat Secure and Non-secure as an attribute for access control. The Normal (Non...

A Memory Management Unit (MMU) is a component found in many 32-bit microprocessors used in embedded applications. It is responsible for protecting memory from corruption and is often utilized with real-time operating systems to isolate tasks and the OS from malfunctioning code in other tasks. ...

4 The Memory Management Unit (MMU) 内存管理单元 (MMU) 执行地址翻译。MMU 包含以下内容: The table walk unit : 它从内存中读取页表,并完成地址转换 Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLBs) : 缓存,相当于cache 软件看到的所有内存地址都是虚拟的。 这些内存地址被传递到 MMU,它检查最近使用的缓存转换的 TLB。
对于任何进行底层bootloader或者驱动代码开发的人员来说,这部分内容都是非常实用的,尤其是对进行MMU(Memory Management Unit)编码的人员。 本文档可以帮助你解到VA如何转换成PA的、如何识别不同的地址空间、地址转换时地址空间是如何映射的以及TLB相关的操作。
