Each section's load address (LMA) is its * virtual address minus KERNEL_VIRT_BASE via AT(), so the ELF's p_paddr lands * at a low physical address (.text at 1 MiB) that the loader can allocate and * copy into. The loader maps p_vaddr (high) -> p_paddr (low) in its bootstrap * tables and jumps to the high entry; the kernel then builds its own tables * with the physmap and abandons the identity map. Requires LLD (build.zig pins * it) — the self-hosted linker ignores PHDRS/AT()/section order. */ KERNEL_VIRT_BASE = 0xFFFFFFFF80000000; ENTRY(_start) /* One loadable segment per permission set, so the loader can map .text as R+X, * .rodata as R, and .data/.bss as R+W.
