Memory AllocationBefore implementing a memory allocator, let's define the memory regions to be managed by the allocator . = ALIGN(4); . += 128 * 1024; /* 128KB */ __stack_top = .; . = ALIGN(4096); __free_ram = .; . += 64 * 1024 * 1024; /* 64MB */ __free_ram_end = .;} This adds two new symbols,  __free_ram and __free_ram_end. This defines a memory area after the stack space. ..

3.5 Memory-Management ServicesThe memory organization and layout associated with a FreeBSD process is shown in Figure 3.3. Each process begins execution with three memory segments: text, data, and stack. The data segment is divided into initialized data and uninitialized data (also known as bss). The text is read-only and is normally shared by all processes executing the file, whereas the data a..
