How do the kernel mechanisms for managing address space during `fork()` contribute to efficient process creation? Discuss the roles of `mm_struct`, `vm_area_struct`, `dup_mmap`, and `handle_pte_fault`.
The kernel utilizes various functions and data structures to efficiently manage process , ensuring robust and efficient process creation. mm_struct,vm_area_struct, dup_mmap and handle_pte_fault play crucial roles in implementing the address space copying and memory management strategies.
