In the previous article we looked at how a user program crosses the ring 3 → ring 0 boundary to ask the kernel for help. The example we used was read() — a file descriptor, a buffer pointer, a byte count. But we glossed over something important: what is that buffer? Who decided it existed? Who owns the physical RAM behind it? Those questions are what the memory manager answers. And it answers them for every process on the machine, simultaneously, for every allocation that has ever happene...| Internals for Interns

In the previous article we followed the kernel from the very first instruction the bootloader handed us all the way to the moment kernel_init called execve() on /sbin/init.
