ChrisOS/Memory systems

Memory systems

Physical memory allocation, virtual addressing, four-level paging, CR3, TLBs, heaps, ownership and multiprocessor invalidation.

Scope

This volume defines the terminology and relationships required before implementation detail. General concepts remain separate from ChrisOS-specific decisions; when a chapter crosses into implementation, its source revision and relevant files are declared in frontmatter.

Core chapters

  • Physical memory
  • Virtual memory
  • Heap and ownership
  • TLB shootdown

Reading rule

Lower-layer details need not be memorized, but terms used by higher layers are defined before their first technical use. Diagrams show flow and responsibility; tables record contracts, layouts and states.
