Abstract:
Described are techniques that map virtual to physical memory. A first module may be loaded into a first physical memory location mapped, using a first page size, to a first virtual address space. A virtual memory portion of the first virtual address space may be identified that is a virtual address range mapped to at least a portion of the first physical memory location including the first module. First data of the first physical memory location may be copied to a second physical memory location. A set of pages of physical memory may be identified. Each such page may be a second page size. The virtual memory portion may be remapped to the set of pages using a page size that is the second page size. The first data may be copied from the second physical memory location to the set of one or more pages of physical memory.
