Memory Allocation for Kernel Space and User Space processes


Is there any difference between kernel space & user space MEMORY ALLOCATIONS?
From which region of memory they get allocated.

Can anyone please provide some pointers on this?

Thanks.

Best Regards,

Solution

  • The memory regions for both the regions are governed by the respective address-space ranges. The boundary value is stored in the fence register.
