本文阐述了 经典的虚拟内存布局 和 易变虚拟内存布局&＃xff1b;
-------Gustavo Duarte 他的blog很好看
上图&＃xff0c;有图一切都明白了。
flexible memory layout&＃xff1a;
classic memory layout&＃xff1a;
易变虚拟内存布局就是在各个虚拟内存区中引用随机的偏移量。从而使Hacker很难猜测出函数库&＃xff0c;映射文件等等的位置。从而一定程度上使程序得到保护&＃xff0c;但是32位系统用户空间的狭小&＃xff0c;削弱了这种效果。
我们也可以从这个patch的原作者的mail中得到一些有用的信息&＃xff1a;

the goal of the patch is to change the way virtual memory is allocated,
from:
//传统虚拟内存布局
0x08000000 ... binary image
0x08xxxxxx ... brk area, grows upwards
0x40000000 ... start of mmap, new mmaps go after old ones//从1G开始 向上增长&＃xff0c;这导致了一个问题&＃xff0c;无法完全利用虚拟内存空间。
0xbfxxxxxx ... stack
to a more flexible top-down mmap() method:
//易变虚拟内存布局
0x08000000 ... binary image
0x08xxxxxx ... brk area, grows upwards
0xbfxxxxxx ... _end_ of all mmaps, new mmaps go below old ones//从stack&＃43;random offset开始 向下增长&＃xff0c;可以用满虚拟内存空间
0xbfyyyyyy ... stack
the new layout has a couple of advantages:
- primarily this layout enables both malloc(), mmap()/shmat() users to
utilize the full address space: 3GB on stock x86, 4GB on x86 4:4 or
x86-64 running x86 apps.
- the new layout is also in essence &＃39;self-tuning&＃39; the mmap() and
malloc() limits: no hacks like /proc/PID/mmap_base are needed - both
malloc() and mmap() can grow until all the address space is full.
With the old layout, malloc() space was limited to 900MB, mmap() space
to ~2GB.
- The new layout also allows very large continuous mmap()s because the
&＃39;free space&＃39; is always a continuous hole (statistically).
- there&＃39;s also a ~4K pagetable saved per typical process, because we
dont allocate at 1GB anymore and dont fragment the VM that much -
there are only 2 main chunks, the binary image &＃43; brk(), and the mmap()
area &＃43; stack.

以上为flexible memroy layout 输出结果。可以与上图对比着看一下
内核的/proc文件系统也提供了相应的控制接口&＃xff0c;来确定使用哪种虚拟内存布局
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout
1 使用传统虚拟内存布局
0 使用易变虚拟内存布局
