42 * This structure defines the STACK allocator used by the VMM to dynamically handle

44 * This allocator handles a fixed size array of fixed size slots in the STACK zone.
45 * The stack size and the number of slots are defined by the CONFIG_VMM_STACK_SIZE, and
46 * CONFIG_VMM_STACK_BASE parameters.
47 * Each slot can contain one user stack vseg. The first page in the slot is not allocated
48 * to detect stack overflow.
49 * The slot index can be computed form the slot base address, and reversely.
50 * All allocation / release operations are registered in the stack_bitmap, that completely
51 * define the STACK zone state.

68 *   rounded if required. The first_free_vpn variable defines completely the MMAP zone state.

90 * This structure defines the Virtual Memory Manager for a given process in a given cluster.
91 * This local VMM provides four main services:
92 * 1) It registers all vsegs in the local copy of the vseg list (VSL).
93 * 2) It contains the local copy of the generic page table (GPT).
94 * 3) The stack manager dynamically allocates virtual memory space for the STACK vsegs.
95 * 4) The mmap manager dynamically allocates virtual memory for the (FILE/ANON/REMOTE) vsegs.
96 ******************************************************a**************************************
97 * Implementation notes:
98 * 1. The VSL contains only local vsegs, but it is implemented as an xlist, and protected by
99 *    a remote_rwlock, because it can be accessed by a thread running in a remote cluster.
100 *    An exemple is the vmm_fork_copy() function.
101 * 2. In most clusters, the VSL and GPT are only partial copies of the reference VSL and GPT
102 *    structures, stored in the reference cluster.
