4 Virtual memory map with 4 level page tables:
6 0000000000000000 - 00007fffffffffff (=47bits) user space, different per mm
7 hole caused by [48:63] sign extension
8 ffff800000000000 - ffff80ffffffffff (=40bits) guard hole
9 ffff810000000000 - ffffc0ffffffffff (=46bits) direct mapping of all phys. memory
10 ffffc10000000000 - ffffc1ffffffffff (=40bits) hole
11 ffffc20000000000 - ffffe1ffffffffff (=45bits) vmalloc/ioremap space
13 ffffffff80000000 - ffffffff82800000 (=40MB) kernel text mapping, from phys 0
15 ffffffff88000000 - fffffffffff00000 (=1919MB) module mapping space
17 The direct mapping covers all memory in the system upto the highest
18 memory address (this means in some cases it can also include PCI memory
21 vmalloc space is lazily synchronized into the different PML4 pages of
22 the processes using the page fault handler, with init_level4_pgt as
25 Current X86-64 implementations only support 40 bit of address space,
26 but we support upto 46bits. This expands into MBZ space in the page tables.
