Create something that shows the following information:

  • What is between two virtual address?
  • Maybe, How can read it?
  • What code is using it? ie. What files uses it.
  • Is it mapped to a specific physical address?
    • If yes, what is special about this physical address?
  • Is it permanently mapped or just for a while?

And probably some more good information

Currently:
[0][0][0][184] - VGA
[0][0][0][256] - Loader
[255] - Userspace stacks
[500] - Kernel Heap
[509] - Recursive mapping
[510][0][0] - "Special" mapping (temporary mapping)
[510][0][1][0] - LAPIC
[510][0][2-18] - 32Mebi of initrd space.
[510][1] - AP stacks, 16 pages per AP. 128 Kibicores in total 🥇
[511] - Kernel code
