The three // pointers (base + 0*N + i), (base + 1*N + i) and (base + 2*N + i), which are // different addresses in virtual memory, all alias the same physical address. // // Reading or writing a chunk of length M <= N is therefore a simple memcpy, // without having to explicitly wrap around the ring-buffer boundaries. // // This is similar to the technique discussed in // https://lo.calho.st/quick-hacks/employing-black-magic-in-the-linux-page-table/ // // This program differs from that web page's discussion by mapping the physical // memory three times, not just two. This lets us read or write, implicitly // wrapping, both forwards (after the middle mapping's end) and backwards // (before the middle mapping's start). That web page only considers forwards // reads or writes. Backwards reads are useful when decoding a Lempel-Ziv style // compression format, copying from history (recently decoded bytes). // // Its output should be: // // middle[-8] == 0x00 == 0x00 == middle[131064] // middle[-7] == 0x00 == 0x00 == middle[131065] // middle[-6] == 0x00 == 0x00 == middle[131066] // middle[-5] == 0x00 == 0x00 == middle[131067] // middle[-4] == 0x00 == 0x00 == middle[131068] // middle[-3] == 0x00 == 0x00 == middle[131069] // middle[-2] == 0x20 == 0x20 == middle[131070] // middle[-1] == 0x21 == 0x21 == middle[131071] // middle[ 0] == 0x22 == 0x22 == middle[131072] // middle[ 1] == 0x23 == 0x23 == middle[131073] // middle[ 2] == 0x12 == 0x12 == middle[131074] // middle[ 3] == 0x13 == 0x13 == middle[131075] // middle[ 4] == 0x30 == 0x30 == middle[131076] // middle[ 5] == 0x31 == 0x31 == middle[131077] // middle[ 6] == 0x32 == 0x32 == middle[131078] // middle[ 7] == 0x17 == 0x17 == middle[131079] #include #include #include #include #include #include // We should be able to do: // // #include // // to get the memfd_create function signature, but memfd_create is relatively // recent.
