1 Basic ConceptWindows 2000 uses a page-based virtual memory management. In windows 2000 system, for 32-bit CPU, every process has its own 4GB address space. All addresses used in process are all virtual address.Virtual address is a address in process's address space. All addresses used in program are all virtual address. Physical address is the address which is placed on the address bus to address the physical memory. The addresses used by accessing physical memory are all physical addresses. Virtual address is not physical address. Executing a accessing (read, write, execute) memory instruction, according to paging mechanism, CPU will automatically translate the virtual address to physical address, and complete the accessing to physical memory.For example: 00401028 nop 00401029 mov eax, [GlobalVar1 (00427e34 )] The address of the instruction "NOP" IS 00401028, IS A Virtual Address.The Address of the Instruction "MOV Eax, [GlobalVar1 (00427E34)]" IS 00401029, IS A Virtual Address.in Instance ruction "mov eax, [GlobalVar1 (00427e34)]", the address of "GlobalVar1" is 00427e34, is a virtual address.When these instructions are executed by CPU, CPU will automatically translate the virtual address to physical address, access the physical memory , get instruction or data, to execute the instruction.In windows 2000 system, for 32-bit CPU, no matter how much physical memory have, every process has its own 4GB address space, 0x00000000-0xFFFFFFFF. Basing paging mechanism, in 4GB address Space, Some Parts Are Mapped to Physical Memory, Some Parts Are Mapped To Files on The Disk, Some Parts Are Mapped To Nothing.IN Process'
s 4GB address space, 0x00000000-0x7FFFFFFF, lower 2GB address space is used by the process, is called "user address space", 0x80000000-0xFFFFFFFF, higher 2GB address space is used by system, is called "system address space". Every process is only able to access its own user address space, and is not able to access the other process's user address space. The content of every process's user address space is not same, but the vast majority of the content of every process'
. S system address space is same User mode code can not access the system address space, kernel mode code can access the system address space.2 Valid Page - Hardware PartWe only discuss the x86 architecture case.2.1 X86 Paging MechanismFor x86 CPU, bit 31 of register CR0 is Paging flag bit, when set, CPU will treat all addresses as virtual address, and automatically complete the translation from virtual address to physical address. Operating system will set the Paging flag bit during system initialization. In initialized windows 2000, we can see the Paging flag bit has been 1.When paging is used, the processor divides the 4GB address space and physical memory into fixed-size pages. A page in address space is possibly mapped into a physical page in physical memory, or possibly mapped into files on disk, or mapped into nothing. For 32-bit CPU, the page (page in address space, physical page) size is 4KB.2.2 Page Directory, Page TableThe information which is used by CPU to translate the v irtual address to physical address, is stored in structures called page table, page directory.The size of a physical page is 4KB, so the lower 12 bits of physical address of a physical page are all 0, so to address a physical page only needs The Higher 20 Bits of Physical Address of Page N in Physical Memory, IS N, SO Windows 2000 Call The Higher 20 Bits of Physical Address of a Physical Page "Physical Frame Number"
. For example, the physical address of page 0 in physical memory is 0x00000000, the physical address of page 1 in physical memory is 0x00001000.Page table, the size of a page table is 4KB, is hold in a physical page. Page table consists Of 1024 4-byte page Table Entries. The size of a page Table Entry IS 4 bytes, 32 Bits, SO A page Table Have 1024 Page Table Entries. For mapped to a Physical Page Case, The Higher 20 Bits of a page Table Entry holds a physical frame number of a physical page, the lower 12 bits holds some flags.Page directory, the size of a page directory is 4KB, is hold in a physical page. Page directory consists of 1024 4-byte page directory entries. The size of a page directory entry is 4 bytes, 32 bits, so a page directory have 1024 page directory entries. For mapped to a physical page case, the higher 20 bits of a page directory entry holds a physical frame number of a physical page, The Lower 12 Bits Holds Some Flags.The Physical Address of Page Directory Is Hold i n CPU's register CR3.2.3 CPU Translate Virtual Address to Physical AddressA virtual address is 4 bytes (32 bits) long, containing the information to find the physical address, is divided into 3 parts: bit31-bit22 this 10 bits is the index in page directory, bit21-bit12 this 10 bits is the index in page table, bit11-bit0 this 12 bits is the offset in page. When CPU translate a virtual address to physical address, first according to the value of CR3, find the physical page where Page Directory Is in. Then Using the 10 Bits'
s value of bit31-bit22 of virtual address as index, find the corresponding page directory entry in page directory, the page directory entry holds the physical address of the physical page where the virtual address corresponding page talbe is in. According to the physical address of the page table, find the page table. Then using the 10 bits's value of bit21-bit12 of virtual address as index, find the corresponding page table entry in page table, the page table entry holds the physical address of the virtual address corresponding physical page . Finally using the 12 bits's value of bit11-bit0 of virtual address as offset, add the offset to the physical address of the virtual address corresponding physical page, and get the virtual address corresponding physical address.A page directory has 1024 entries, the bit31 -bit22 of Virtual Address IS 10 BITS, CAN JUST INDEX THE 1024 Entries (2 ^ 10 = 1024). a page Table HAS 1024 Entries, The Bit21-Bit12 of Virtual Address IS 10 Bits, Can Just Index The 1024 Entries (2 ^ 10 = 1024). Bit11-Bit0 This 12 Bits of Virtual Address (2 ^ 12 = 4096), IS Used As Offset, Can Just Index 4KB, EVERY BYTE INDESICAL Page.Virtual Address IS 32 BITS long, can address 0x00000000-0xFFFFFFFF, 4GB size. that means that a 32-bit virtual address can address every byte in the entire 4GB address space. A page table entry maps 4KB address space to physical memory, a page table has 1024 entries, so a page talbe maps 1024 * 4KB = 4MB address space. A page directory entry corresponds a page table. A page directory has 1024 entries, corresponds 1024 page tables. A page talbe maps 4MB address space, 1024 page tables map 1024 * 4MB =
4GB address space. A process has a page directory. So using page as the unit, page directory and page tables can ensure the mapping of every page in 4GB address space to physical memory.2.4 Valid Page Directory Entry and Valid Page Table EntryThe structure of page table entry and page directory entry is defined by CPU and operating system. First CPU defines some bits, CPU will interpret these bits according to this definition. Operating system can not use these bits which have been defined by CPU for other purpose. The bits which have not been defined by CPU are defined by operating system, operating system will interpret these bits according to this definition.CPU judges whether a page is mapped to physical memory by the lowest bit, bit0, of page directory entry and page table entry. THE LOWEST BIT IS 1, IS CALED VALID, Means The Page Table Entry Are Defined by CPU, A Little Bits Are Defined by System. ONLY BIT0, VALID FLAG bit, in an invalid page table entry is defined by CPU, the other bits are all defined by system. We introduce the structure definition of valid page table entry (page directory entry) here, and the structure definition of invalid page table entry (page . directory entry) later.Page directory entry and page table entry, 4 bytes long, 32 bits, have the same structure definition Valid PTE (Page Table entry) structure definition: bits0 Validbits1 Writebits2 Ownerbits3 WriteThroughbits4 CacheDisablebits5 Accessedbits6 Dirtybits7 LargePagebits8 Globalbits9 CopyOnWritebits10-10 Prototypebits11 -11 reservedBits12-31 Pageframenumberbits12-31 PageFramenumber:

s page directory and page tables are created and maintained by system, system need access page directory and page tables, all addresses used by system are virtual address, so system must map page directory and page tables into address space. The 1024 page tables which are used to map 4GB address space are orderly mapped to 0xC0000000-0xC0400000 this 4MB address space. The page table which used to map the first 4MB address space, locates in the first 4KB address space beginning from 0xC0000000. The page table which used to map the second 4MB address space, locates in the second 4KB address space beginning from 0xC0000000, and so on. The page directory is mapped to the 4KB address space beginning from 0xC0300000. The page directory and page tables are all in system address space, so the user Mode Code Can not access.3.2 The Large Page Part in Address SpaceOperating System's Keernel Is Offormance, Windows 2000 Places The System Kernel (HAL.DLL AND NTOSKRN l.exe) in large pages. Using large page can reduce TLB misses and save TLB cache, to improve system performance. The size of large page is 4MB.Observing page directory, we can see that the LargePage flag bit of 0xC0300800-0xC03009FC the 128 page directory entries is set, that means the 128 page directory entries point to 128 large page The 128 page directory entries corresponding address space is 0x80000000 -. 0xA0000000, 0x20000000 B = 512 MB.LargePage page directory entry, doesn '
t point to a page table physical page, directly points to a 4MB physical page. The size of page is 4MB, so bit21-bit12 this 10 bits is 0. During translation from virtual address to physical address, CPU use the bit31-bit22 this 10 bits of virtual address as index, find the corresponding page directory entry in page directory, find the page directory entry's LargePage flag bit is set, so get the physical address of the 4MB physical page. Then using the bit21-bit0 this 22 bits of virtual address as offset, add the offset to the physical address of the 4MB physical page, and get the virtual address corresponding phyiscal address.Observing the 128 LargePage page directory entries, we can find the address space 80000000-9FFFFFFF maps to physical memory 00000000- 1FFFFFFF. That means the lower 512 MB of physical memory is mapped to address space 80000000-9FFFFFFF. We can also find the 128 LargePage page directory entries are always valid. If physical memory is less than 512MB, then some part of the LargePage address space can not map to actual physical memory, but the corresponding LargePage page directory entries are still valid, if read from these address space, the read out content are all 0xFF.3.3 Page Directory, Page Table ExamplesA notepad process'

We can find the user address space corresponding PDEs (front 512 PDEs) of two processes are all not same, that means every process has its own independent user address space, each one maps to different physical memory. We can find the overwhelming majority of system address space corresponding PDEs (hind 512 PDEs) are same.

The size of pde is 4b.pdeva = (VA >> 22) * 4 0xc03000002 Virtual Address ->
virtual address of the virtual address corresponding PTEPage tables are orderly mapped in address space, so using bit31-bit22 this 10 bits of virtual address as index, find the virtual address of the corresponding page table in page tables. Using bit21-bit12 this 10 bits of virtual address as index, find the virtual address of the corresponding PTE in the page table The base address of page tables is 0xC0000000, the size of PTE is 4B.PteVa = (Va >> 12) * 4 0xC00000003 virtual address. - > physical addressIf virtual address above or equal to 0x80000000 and below 0xa0000000, that means the virtual address is in LargePage part, then virtual addres minus 0x80000000 is the physical address.Otherwise, calculate the corresponding virtual address of PDE and PTE, get the corresponding PDE And PTE, IF CORRESPONDING PDE AND PTE ARE Both Valid, The Use the Corresponding Pte's Bit31-Bit12 This 20 Bits As Physical Address's Bit31-Bit12 This 20 Bits, Use the Virtual Address's Bit11-Bit0 this 12 bit s as physical address's bit11-bit0 this 12 bits, so we get the corresponding physical address.4 virtual address of PDE -> PDE corresponding address space rangeA PDE corresponding address space range is 4MB.VaStart = ((PdeVa - 0xC0300000) / 4) << 22VaEnd = VaStart 0x004000005 virtual address of PTE -> PTE corresponding address space rangea PTE corresponding address space range is 4KB.VaStart = ((PteVa - 0xC0000000) / 4) << 12VaEnd = VaStart 0x000010006 virtual address of PTE ->
virtual address of corresponding PDEAccording to the virtual address of PTE, we can calculate corresponding address space range, according to any virtual addres in the range, we can calculate the virtual address of the virtual address corresponding PDE.7 virtual address of PDE -> virtual address range of corresponding PTEsAccording to the virtual address of PDE, we can calculate corresponding address space range, according to the range, we can calculate the virtual address range of corresponding PTEs.4 Invalid Page - Hardware Part4.1 Page-Fault ExceptionAccessing a virtual address, the virtual address corresponding PDE, PTE are all valid, according to the corresponding PDE PTE, CPU automatically translates the virtual address to physical address, and completes the accessing. Accessing a virtual address, the virtual address corresponding PDE or PTE is invalid, Will Generate A page-fault Exception. CPU Directs to Execute The Exception Handler Procedure, The Exception Handler Procedure DO es corresponding disposal, such as, for the page of accessing virtual address is in a file on disk, load the page in file into a physical page, make the corresponding PTE point to the physical page, and set the corresponding PTE valid. When execution of the exception handler is complete, CPU re-executes the instruction that generated the exception, and this time the virtual address that the instruction accessed has mapped to physical memory, and corresponding PDE, PTE are all valid, the instruction can be completed.Exception Is A Interrupt Called "Exception"
. When a exception occurs, using the exception corresponding interrupt vector, CPU finds the corresponding interrupt descriptor in interrupt descriptor table. The interrupt descriptor holds the entry address of exception handler procedure. CPU automatically save some registers on the stack, including EIP where stored the address of the faulting instruction, then directs to the exception handler procedure. The execution of the exception handler is complete with a IRET instruction. When the IRET instruction is executed, CPU will re-execute the faulting instruction according to the faulting instruction address which is saved on the stack The main difference between exception and interrupt called "interrupt" is:.. when a exception occurs, a error code will be pushed on the stack, when a interrupt occurs, no error code will be pushed on the stack CPU can DISTINGUISH BETWEEN Exception or Interrupt by Examing The High 4-Byte '
S BIT10-BIT8 THIS 3 BITS OF INTERRUPT DESCRIPTOR, THIS 3 BITS OF A Interrupt IS 110, THIS 3 BITS OF A Exception IS 111.THE Interrupt Vector of Page-Fault Exception IS 0xE (0N14). It is defined by CPU That interrupt vector of Page-Fault exception is 0xe, for x86 cpu, interrupt vector 0-31, this 32 interrupts are defined by CPU. When a Page-Fault exception occurs, a error code will be saved on the stack, bit0 of error code indicates the fault is caused by an invalid page or by a page-level protection violation, bit1 of error code indicates the access causing the fault is a read or a write. The EIP saved on the stack is the faulting instruction address. The content of the CR2 register is the virtual address that generated the exception 5 Invalid Page -. Software Part5.1 Page-Fault HandlerA PTE is valid, the corresponding page address space is mapped to a physical page, access in the page of address space, won ' T Cause A page-fault Exception. a Pte IS Invalid, The Corresponding Page Add ress space are 4 cases, the content of the page is in a transition physical page, the content of the page is in a mapped file, the content of the page is in a pagefile swap file, the content of the page is nothing, access in the page address space, will cause a Page-Fault exception. For different cases, PTE has different structure definition.The content of page is in a transition state physical page, the content of the page can be out swapped from physical page into file And Hasn '
t been out swapped, it is in a transition state. The higher 20 bits of the invalid PTE is still a physical frame number, the physical page is just the physical page that was pointed by the PTE when PTE was valid, and the content of the physical page has not been modified, is still the content when the PTE was valid. For this case Page-Fault exception handler, only need set the corresponding invalid PTE valid.The content of page is in a mapped file, the corresponding content in mapped file is the backup of the corresponding page in address space. There are two kinds of mapped file, one is called "ImageFileMap", one is called "DataFileMap". ImageFileMap include mapping of process's .exe executable file, mapping of process's loaded. dll dynamic link library file. DataFileMap, mapping that call CreateFileMapping API to load the file into memory. Every process loads process's .exe executable file and process's .dll dynamic link library files to memory by ImageFileMap. Invalid PTE contains t he information to find the corresponding content in file, every file-mapping has a set of relative structures, which keeps some relative information, such as file's handle, structures to implement sharing between processes. The corresponding content in the file can be found by invalid PTE and relative structures of file-mapping. For this case Page-Fault exception handler, according to invalid PTE and relative structures of file-mapping, find the content of a corresponding page in the corresponding file, read the content of the page into a Physical Page, And Set The Corresponding Invalid Pte To Point To The Physical Page and Valid.The Content of Page, Process'
s some data pages which are out swapped from physical memory, are backed in PageFile swap file. In windows 2000, file "pagefile.sys" is the PageFile swap file. Many pages may be out swapped into PageFile, such as, thread's kernel mode stack, pages in user address space except for file-mapping, process's page tables, pages in PagedPool in system address space, etc. Pages in user address space except for file-mapping, such as, process's heap, thread's user mode stack, process environment block, thread environment block, etc. Invalid PTE contains the information to find a certain page in a certain PageFile swap file, every PageFile swap file has a set of relative structures (note, relative structures of PageFile are utterly different from relative structures of file-mapping), which keeps some relative information, such as which pages in PageFile have been used, which pages have not been used. The out swapped content in PageFile can be found by invalid PTE and relative structures of PageF ile. For this case Page-Fault exception handler, according to invalid PTE and relative structures of PageFile, find the content of a corresponding page in a certain PageFile, read the content of the page into a physical page, and set the corresponding invalid PTE TO POINT to the Physical Page And Valid.all Bits of A Pte Are 0, Means That there '
s nothing in this page address space.5.2 Difference between Different Type Invalid PTEThe bit10 of invalid PTE is Prototype flag bit. For Prototype flag bit is equal to 0 case, bit11 is Transition flag bit.Prototype flag bit is equal to 1, invalid PTE is Prototype PTE, is used for the content of the page is in a mapped file case.Prototype flag bit is equal to 0, Transition flag bit is equal to 0, invalid PTE is used for the content of the page is in a PageFile swap file case.Prototype flag bit is equal to 0, Transition flag bit is equal to 1, invalid PTE is used for the content of the page is in a transition state physical page case.6 Some Answers6.1 why the size of address space is 4GB? 32-bit CPU determines that the size of address (pointer) which used very ofen in codes is 32-bit. 32-bit address (pointer) can address 0x00000000-0xFFFFFFFF, the addressing unit is byte, so the size of address Space is 4GB.6.2 Efficiency of Address TranslationWhen Using Paging, All Address of Memory OPE ration are virtual address, CPU will automatically translate it to physical address, you can image that there would be huge amounts of address translation, to translate a single virtual address, CPU need to read page directory, read page table, at last read or write in physical page. So for improving speed and efficiency of address translation, Windows 2000 puts some PDE and PTE in cache. A on-chip cache called TLB (Translation Look-Aside Buffer) is used to store most recently used PDE and PTE, it reduces huge amounts of reading page directory and page table from physical memory in address translation.6.3 WHY the address of page directory is 0xC0300000, WHY 1 page directory and 1024 page tables only use 1024 * 4KB address space?
To map the entire 4GB address space, needing 1024 page tables and 1 page directory, every one is 4KB, 1024 * 4KB 1 * 4KB = 4MB 4KB. But in fact Windows 2000 maps every process's page directory and page tables into 0xC0000000- 0xC03FFFFF, this 4MB address space (page directory is in the 4KB address space beginning from 0xC0300000) .1024 page tables and 1 page directory should need (1024 1) * 4KB address space, why Windows 2000 only use 1024 * 4KB address space? The reason is page tables are mapped into process's address space.If page tables and page directory have not been mapped in process's address space and a process's 4GB address space are all mapped to physical memory, then do need 1024 physical pages to hold page tables And Another 1 Physical, That Needs (1024 1) * 4KB Physical Mapped. But Page Tables Are Mapped in Process'
s address space, this results in the content of a page table and the content of page directory being completely same, just this completely same causes that 1024 page tables and 1 page directory only need 1024 * 4KB address space, one of page tables and page directory is completely overlap.A page table has 1024 entries, every entry maps 4KB address space, a page table maps 4MB address space. 1024 page tables maps entire 4GB address space. 1024 page tables are mapped in 0xC0000000-0xC03FFFFF this 4MB address space. This 4MB address space is mapped by a page table. The page table to map 0xC0000000-0xC03FFFFF this 4MB address space, has 1024 PTEs to map every page in 0xC0000000-0xC03FFFFF this 4MB address space, every page in 0xC0000000-0xC03FFFFF this 4MB address space is a page table, so every PTE of that page table is PDE, and that page table is page directory. Mapping 1024 page tables into address space, results in one of page tables and page directory being completely overlap, it is pag e directory and also page table. So 1 page directory and 1024 page tables only need 1024 * 4KB address space.Where the page tables are mapped in address space, is decided by the operating system's designers. They will think about various problems and make the last decision. But if the address of page tables are determined, then the address of page directory has been determined, unless they intend to use one more page address space to keep the same content of one current page.In windows 2000, page tables are Mapped Into 0xC0000000-0XC03FFFFF this 4MB Address Space, Let '
s calculate the address of this 4MB address space corresponding page table, which is the page table overlapped with page directory. 0xC0000000 is obviously mapped by the first PTE of that page table. PteVa = (Va >> 12) * 4 0xC0000000, ( 0xC0000000 >> 12) * 4 0xC0000000 = 0xC0000 * 4 0xC0000000 = 0x300000 0xC0000000 = 0xC0300000, it's right the virtual address of page directory.We can also see, the physical frame number of the 4 bytes at 0xC0300C00 is equal to the physical frame number of register CR3.0xC0300000-0xC0300FFF this 4KB as a normal page, the corresponding PTE, PteVa = (Va >> 12) * 4 0xC0000000, is 0xC0300C00. That means the 4 bytes at 0xC0300C00 as a PTE, contains the physical frame number of 0xC0300000-0xC0300FFF this page mapped physical page.0xC0300000-0xC0300FFF this 4KB as a page table, the corresponding PDE, PdeVa = (Va >> 22) * 4 0xC0300000, is 0xC0300C00. That means the 4 bytes at 0xC0300C00 AS A PDE, Contains the Physical Frame Number of 0xc0300000-0XC0300FFF this Pa ge table mapped physical page.0xC0300000-0xC0300FFF this 4KB as a page directory, CR3 contains the physical address of the physical page.So the physical frame number of the 4 bytes at 0xC0300C00 is equal to the physical frame number of register CR3.6.4 Physical Memory Needed by Process's Page Directory and Page TablesProcess need physical pages to hold page directory and page tables, if there are 1024 page tables, then need 1024 * 4KB = 4MB physical memory. Does every process need 4MB physical memory to keep just page table information ? IT really doesn't. If The Valid Flag Bit of a PDE IS 0, THE CORRESPONDING Page Table Doesn '
