Chapter 6. Kernel Memory
In the last chapter, we looked mostly at process address space and process memory, but the kernel also needs memory to run the operating system.

In this chapter, we look at what kernel memory is used for, what the kernel virtual address space looks like, and how kernel memory is allocated and managed.
