regardless of what user process or kernel thread is running. In
Pintos, kernel virtual memory is mapped one-to-one to physical
memory, starting at @code{PHYS_BASE}. That is, virtual address
-@code{PHYS_ADDR} accesses physical
-address 0, virtual address @code{PHYS_ADDR} + @t{0x1234} access
+@code{PHYS_BASE} accesses physical
+address 0, virtual address @code{PHYS_BASE} + @t{0x1234} access
physical address @t{0x1234}, and so on up to the size of the machine's
physical memory.
