Linux Virtual Memory
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2006 8:29 am
This site, http://linux-mm.org/VirtualMemory, gives a quick view of how virtual memory is organized in Linux. Talks about how page tables are setup and how much memory gets mapped for applications and the kernel. There are direct links to the Linux kernel code covering COW(copy on write) and all that fun stuff. Also check out the PageFaultHandling page on the same site linked to at the bottom of the VirtualMemory page.
