FFFFB000 - FFFFE000: mapped L2 MMU tables (1FFF5000 - 1FFF8000)
FFFFB000 - FFFFE000: mapped L2 MMU tables (1FFF5000 - 1FFF8000)
==0xFF4XX000==
Each [[KThread|thread]] is allocated a 0x1000-byte page in this region: the first page at 0xFF401000 is for the first created thread, 0xFF403000 for the second thread. This region is used to store the SVC-mode stack for the thread, and thread context data used for context switching. When the IRQ handler, prefetch/data abort handlers, and undefined instruction handler are entered where the SPSR-mode=user, these handlers then store LR+SPSR for the current mode on the SVC-mode stack, then these handlers switch to SVC-mode.
This page does not contain a dedicated block for storing R0-PC(etc). For user-mode, the user-mode regs are instead saved on the SVC-mode stack when IRQs such as timers for context switching are triggered.
