//! User-space shared memory: `shared_memory_create` / `shared_memory_map`. A process creates a shareable,
|
|
//! zeroed, cacheable RAM region and gets back a pointer plus a **capability handle**; it
|
|
//! passes that handle to another process as an `ipc_call` send_cap, and the receiver
|
|
//! `shared_memory_map`s it to map the same physical pages. The kernel primitive under the display
|
|
//! compositor↔native-driver and app↔compositor surface paths (docs/display-v2.md). The
|
|
//! generalization of capability passing from endpoints to memory objects.
