Enum TranslationMechanism 

pub enum TranslationMechanism {
    Direct,
    Paging {
        root: Option<Pa>,
    },
}

The mechanism used for translating virtual addresses to physical addresses.

Understanding and navigating the memory translation mechanisms of the target system is crucial. This enum allows specifying whether a direct mapping or a paging-based translation should be used for memory accesses.

Variants

Direct

Direct mapping (no translation).

In this mode, the provided address is treated as a physical address. This is useful for accessing physical memory directly.

Paging

Paging-based translation.

This mode uses the paging structures of the target system to translate virtual addresses to physical addresses. It’s the common mode for accessing memory in most modern operating systems.

Fields

root: Option<Pa>

Optionally specifies the root of the paging structure (e.g., CR3 value in x86 architecture). If None, the current active paging structure of the target system should be used.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for TranslationMechanism

fn clone(&self) -> TranslationMechanism

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for TranslationMechanism

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for TranslationMechanism

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl Hash for TranslationMechanism

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl Ord for TranslationMechanism

fn cmp(&self, other: &TranslationMechanism) -> Ordering

This method returns an Ordering between self and other.

fn max(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the maximum of two values.

fn min(self, other: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Compares and returns the minimum of two values.

fn clamp(self, min: Self, max: Self) -> Self

where Self: Sized,

Restrict a value to a certain interval.

impl PartialEq for TranslationMechanism

fn eq(&self, other: &TranslationMechanism) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl PartialOrd for TranslationMechanism

fn partial_cmp(&self, other: &TranslationMechanism) -> Option<Ordering>

This method returns an ordering between self and other values if one exists.

fn lt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than (for self and other) and is used by the < operator.

fn le(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests less than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the <= operator.

fn gt(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than (for self and other) and is used by the > operator.

fn ge(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests greater than or equal to (for self and other) and is used by the >= operator.

impl Serialize for TranslationMechanism

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
