/* memmodel.h - the OS-agnostic, x86-64 memory-model contract (the middle layer). * * This is the shared vocabulary between the ENGINE (which turns guest-physical * RAM into a usable virtual memory model via x86-64 paging + Windows bring-up) * and the HANDLERS (scanners that consume that model). It names no Windows * concept: a handler compiled against this header literally cannot mention an * _EPROCESS, a PEB, or an LDR entry. * * OS-agnostic, but architecture-bound: the address-space key is the x86-64 CR3 * (the PML4 base), shared by any guest OS on x86-64 - it is not portable to an * ISA with a different paging root (e.g. ARM64 TTBR0/1). * * Everything here is keyed by a `vmie_mem*` (the opaque physical/paging * substrate) plus a `cr3` (the address space). The engine handle is never * handed to a handler - only `vmie_mem*` + `cr3`. * * Conventions: * - `cr3` is a raw CR3 / DirectoryTableBase value; low flag bits are masked * internally, so either the masked PML4 GPA or the raw register works. * - A "VA" is a 64-bit canonical guest virtual address. Reads/writes that * cross a page boundary are handled internally (per-page translation). * - Integer returns: 0 on success, negative on failure, unless stated. */ #ifndef VMIE_MEMMODEL_H #define VMIE_MEMMODEL_H #include #include /* Opaque guest-physical memory handle (the mmap'd RAM backing file + segment * map).
