Linux Kernel Memory Map. Mastering Linux Kernel Development This causes hole between user space and kernel addresses if you interpret them as unsigned This flag is supported only for files supporting DAX (direct mapping of persistent memory).

Kernel Linear Mapping and Kernel Virtual Memory Accesses Even if the kernel would have all the rights of directly accessing RAM , with physical addresses (Kernel can do whatever it wants with the system!), it is forced to use virtual addresses because paging is enabled by default, to support "normal" processes virtual memory. The allocated pages are mapped to the virtual memory space behind the 1:1 mapped physical memory in the kernel space Bits 63 through to the most-significant implemented bit are sign extended
Understanding of Linux virtual memory and physical memory Programmer Sought. MAP_SYNC (since Linux 4.15) This flag is available only with the MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type; mappings of type MAP_SHARED will silently ignore this flag Kernel Linear Mapping and Kernel Virtual Memory Accesses Even if the kernel would have all the rights of directly accessing RAM , with physical addresses (Kernel can do whatever it wants with the system!), it is forced to use virtual addresses because paging is enabled by default, to support "normal" processes virtual memory.
