Critical Issue: Integer Overflow Risk - In libs/kmem-aslr/src/lib.rs:77, the max_candidate_spots calculation uses shift operations that can overflow on 32-bit systems. For 48-bit address spaces with 4KB pages, this computes (1 << 36) which exceeds usize capacity on 32-bit platforms. Recommend adding compile-time bounds check or using u64.

Code Review

Overall: Solid implementation of a virtual memory subsystem with ASLR support. The refactoring to separate concerns is well-done.

Critical Issues

1. Integer Overflow in ASLR (libs/kmem-aslr/src/lib.rs:141)

.add(target_index << layout.align().ilog2())

Left-shift can overflow for large target_index values. Use checked_shl() or saturating_shl():

.add(target_index.checked_shl(layout.align().ilog2()).ok_or(...)?)

2. Unimplemented Functions Returning todo!() (libs/mem/src/address_space.rs:75, 147)
The map() and set_attributes() functions contain todo!() macros. If this is intentional WIP, consider returning proper errors instead to prevent panics.

Security Concerns

3. ASLR Entropy Calculation (libs/kmem-aslr/src/lib.rs:76-86)
The entropy calculation looks correct, but verify it provides sufficient randomization for your security requirements. The max_candidate_spots calculation could potentially overflow for very large address spaces.

Code Quality

4. Unsafe Block Documentation (libs/mem/src/address_space/region.rs:185, 192)
The unsafe blocks in into_ptr() and from_ptr() have minimal documentation. Consider expanding safety comments to explain the pinning invariants being upheld.

5. Clone Iterator Performance (libs/kmem-aslr/src/lib.rs:71)
The gaps: impl Iterator + Clone may clone the entire iterator on the retry path (line 97). For large address spaces, this could be expensive. Consider if you need a different approach for the retry.

Critical Issue - Potential Integer Overflow (libs/kmem-aslr/src/lib.rs:141): In choose_spot, the calculation target_index << layout.align().ilog2() could overflow for large target_index values. Consider using checked_shl.

Bug - Unwrap in Production Code (libs/mem/src/address_space.rs:62): find_spot_for(layout).unwrap() will panic if no suitable spot is found. Should propagate the error instead.

Security - Test Seed in Production Crate (libs/mem/src/address_space.rs:225-228): The hardcoded ASLR seed lives in the production crate. Consider moving tests to tests/ directory to ensure this never compiles into production builds.
