Macro Definition Documentation

PDBITS

#define PDBITS   10

Number of page dir bits.

Definition at line 28 of file pte.h.

PDMASK

#define PDMASK   BITMASK(PDSHIFT, PDBITS)

Page directory bits (22:31).

Definition at line 29 of file pte.h.

PDSHIFT

#define PDSHIFT   (PTSHIFT + PTBITS)

Page directory index (bits 22:31).

First page directory bit.

Definition at line 27 of file pte.h.

PTBITS

#define PTBITS   10

Number of page table bits.

Definition at line 22 of file pte.h.

PTE_A

#define PTE_A   0x20

1=accessed, 0=not acccessed.

Definition at line 67 of file pte.h.

PTE_ADDR

#define PTE_ADDR   0xfffff000

Address bits.

Definition at line 62 of file pte.h.

PTE_AVL

#define PTE_AVL   0x00000e00

Bits available for OS use.

Definition at line 63 of file pte.h.

PTE_D

#define PTE_D   0x40

1=dirty, 0=not dirty (PTEs only).

Definition at line 68 of file pte.h.

PTE_FLAGS

#define PTE_FLAGS   0x00000fff

Page directory and page table entries.

For more information see the section on page tables in the Pintos reference guide chapter, or [IA32-v3a] 3.7.6 "Page-Directory and Page-Table Entries".

PDEs and PTEs share a common format:

31 12 11 0 +---------------------------------—+---------------------—+ | Physical Address | Flags | +---------------------------------—+---------------------—+

In a PDE, the physical address points to a page table. In a PTE, the physical address points to a data or code page. The important flags are listed below. When a PDE or PTE is not "present", the other flags are ignored. A PDE or PTE that is initialized to 0 will be interpreted as "not present", which is just fine. Flag bits.

Definition at line 61 of file pte.h.

PTE_P

#define PTE_P   0x1

1=present, 0=not present.

Definition at line 64 of file pte.h.

PTE_U

#define PTE_U   0x4

#define PTMASK   BITMASK(PTSHIFT, PTBITS)

Page table bits (12:21).

Definition at line 24 of file pte.h.

PTSHIFT

#define PTSHIFT   PGBITS

Functions and macros for working with x86 hardware page tables.

See vaddr.h for more generic functions and macros for virtual addresses.

Virtual addresses are structured as follows:

31 22 21 12 11 0 +-------------------—+-------------------—+-------------------—+ | Page Directory Index | Page Table Index | Page Offset | +-------------------—+-------------------—+-------------------—+ Page table index (bits 12:21). First page table bit.

Definition at line 21 of file pte.h.

PTSPAN

#define PTSPAN   (1 << PTBITS << PGBITS)

Bytes covered by a page table.

Definition at line 23 of file pte.h.

pt_no()

static unsigned pt_no ( const void *  va )

inlinestatic

Obtains page table index from a virtual address.

pte_create_kernel()

static uint32_t pte_create_kernel ( void *  page, bool  writable  )

inlinestatic

Returns a PTE that points to PAGE.

The PTE's page is readable. If WRITABLE is true then it will be writable as well. The page will be usable only by ring 0 code (the kernel).

pte_create_user()

static uint32_t pte_create_user ( void *  page, bool  writable  )

inlinestatic

Returns a PTE that points to PAGE.

The PTE's page is readable. If WRITABLE is true then it will be writable as well. The page will be usable by both user and kernel code.
