we know that when a new process is being created,the PM will allocate the needed memory for the new process with the function alloc_mem(),but after that,we can see PM will tell micro-kernel the memory map of the new process with the function sys_newmap,and then sys_newmap will use the function do_newmap,I don't understand why should tell the kernel about the new map?and how it finishs the process?
