After splitting Kernel Space and Non-Kernel Space and adding Paging mechanism, copying between different processes (with different privileges) is required.

Between kernel and non-kernel processes (Ring 0 <-> Ring 1, 2, 3):

• void copy_to_kernel(void* dst, void* src, uint32 size, uint32 pid);
  From (src, pid) to (dst)
• void copy_to_non_kernel(void* dst, void* src, uint32 size, uint32 pid);
  From (src) to (dst, pid)
  NOTE: Must be called by kernel process.

Between non-kernel processes (Ring 1, 2, 3 <-> Ring 1, 2, 3)

• void copy_to(void* dst, void* src, uint32 size, uint32 pid);
  From (src, CURRENT_PID) to (dst, pid)
• void copy_from(void* dst, void* src, uint32 size, uint32 pid);
  From (src, pid) to (dst, CURRENT_PID)
  NOTE: subject is the process of the caller.

Need to add cache layer, including a series of blocks cached in memory and a table of descriptors, in function "hdd_sector_dev_op()" of "hdd.c".
Descriptor: block number, block status (INVALID, CLEAR, DIRTY), the address of the block in memory.
