通过设置页表和对应的页表项，可建立虚拟内存地址和物理内存地址的对应关系。其中的get_pte函数是设置页表项环节中的一个重要步骤。此函数找到一个虚地址对应的二级页表项的内核虚地址，如果此二级页表项不存在，则分配一个包含此项的二级页表。本练习需要补全get_pte函数 in kern/mm/pmm.c，实现其功能。
练习细节
首先，我们先看一下需要编写的get_pte的注释。
// File: pmm.c
//get_pte - get pte and return the kernel virtual address of this pte for la
// - if the PT contians this pte didn't exist, alloc a page for PT
// parameter:
// pgdir: the kernel virtual base address of PDT
// la: the linear address need to map
// create: a logical value to decide if alloc a page for PT
// return vaule: the kernel virtual address of this pte
pte_t *
get_pte(pde_t *pgdir, uintptr_t la, bool create) {
/* LAB2 EXERCISE 2: YOUR CODE
*
* If you need to visit a physical address, please use KADDR()
* please read pmm.h for useful macros
*
* Maybe you want help comment, BELOW comments can help you finish the code
*
* Some Useful MACROs and DEFINEs, you can use them in below implementation.
* MACROs or Functions:
* PDX(la) = the index of page directory entry of VIRTUAL ADDRESS la.
* KADDR(pa) : takes a physical address and returns the corresponding kernel virtual address.
* set_page_ref(page,1) : means the page be referenced by one time
* page2pa(page): get the physical address of memory which this (struct Page *) page manages
* struct Page * alloc_page() : allocation a page
* memset(void *s, char c, size_t n) : sets the first n bytes of the memory area pointed by s
* to the specified value c.
* DEFINEs:
* PTE_P 0x001 // page table/directory entry flags bit : Present
* PTE_W 0x002 // page table/directory entry flags bit : Writeable
* PTE_U 0x004 // page table/directory entry flags bit : User can access
*/
#if 0
pde_t *pdep = NULL; // (1) find page directory entry
if (0) { // (2) check if entry is not present
// (3) check if creating is needed, then alloc page for page table
// CAUTION: this page is used for page table, not for common data page
// (4) set page reference
uintptr_t pa = 0; // (5) get linear address of page
// (6) clear page content using memset
// (7) set page directory entry's permission

// A linear address 'la' has a three-part structure as follows:
//
// +--------10------+-------10-------+---------12----------+
// | Page Directory | Page Table | Offset within Page |
// | Index | Index | |
// +----------------+----------------+---------------------+
// \--- PDX(la) --/ \--- PTX(la) --/ \---- PGOFF(la) ----/
// \----------- PPN(la) -----------/
//
// The PDX, PTX, PGOFF, and PPN macros decompose linear addresses as shown.
// To construct a linear address la from PDX(la), PTX(la), and PGOFF(la),
// use PGADDR(PDX(la), PTX(la), PGOFF(la)).
