43 * This structure defines the STACK allocator used by the VMM to dynamically handle
44 * vseg allocation or release requests for an user thread.
45 * This allocator handles a fixed size array of fixed size slots in STACK zone of user space.
46 * The stack size and the number of slots are defined by the CONFIG_VMM_STACK_SIZE, and
47 * CONFIG_VMM_STACK_BASE parameters.
48 * Each slot can contain one user stack vseg. The first 4 Kbytes page in the slot is not
49 * mapped to detect stack overflow.
50 * In this implementation, the slot index is defined by the user thead LTID.
51 * All allocated stacks are registered in a bitmap defining the STACK zone state:
52 * - The allocator checks that the requested slot has not been already allocated, and set the
53 *   corresponding bit in the bitmap.
54 * - The de-allocator reset the corresponding bit in the bitmap.

66 * This structure defines the MMAP allocator used by the VMM to dynamically handle 
67 * MMAP vsegs requested or released by an user process.
68 * This allocator should be only used in the reference cluster.
69 * - allocation policy : all allocated vsegs occupy an integer number of pages that is
70 *   power of 2, and are aligned on a page boundary. The requested number of pages is
71 *   rounded if required. The first_free_vpn variable defines completely the MMAP zone state.
72 *   It is never decremented, as the released vsegs are simply registered in a zombi_list.
73 *   The relevant zombi_list is checked first for each allocation request.
74 * - release policy : a released MMAP vseg is registered in an array of zombi_lists.
75 *   This array is indexed by ln(number of pages), and each entry contains the root of
76 *   a local list of zombi vsegs that have the same size. The physical memory allocated
77 *   for a zombi vseg descriptor is not released, to use the "list" field.
78 *   This physical memory allocated for MMAP vseg descriptors is actually released
79 *   when the VMM is destroyed.

93 * This structure defines the Virtual Memory Manager for a given process in a given cluster.
94 * This local VMM implements four main services:
95 * 1) It contains the local copy of vseg list (VSL), only complete in referrence.
96 * 2) It contains the local copy of the generic page table (GPT), only complete in reference.
97 * 3) The stack manager dynamically allocates virtual memory space for the STACK vsegs.
98 * 4) The mmap manager dynamically allocates virtual memory for the (FILE/ANON/REMOTE) vsegs.
99 ******************************************************a**************************************
100 * Implementation notes:
101 * 1. In most clusters, the VSL and GPT are only partial copies of the reference VSL and GPT
102 *    structures, stored in the reference cluster.
103 * 2. The VSL contains only local vsegs, but it is implemented as an xlist, and protected by
104 *    a remote_rwlock, because it can be accessed by a thread running in a remote cluster.
105 *    An exemple is the vmm_fork_copy() function.
106 * 3. The GPT in the reference cluster can be directly accessed by remote threads to handle
107 *    false page-fault (page is mapped in the reference GPT, but the PTE copy is missing
108 *    in the local GPT). As each PTE can be protected by a specific GPT_LOCKED attribute
109 *    for exclusive access, it is NOT protected by a global lock.
