as if linear address is of 32 bits then total linear address space of 4GB is mapped to physical address space.
then i wanted to ask

Refer a book by james turley on x86, they have explained it in quite detail.
 

Is this address space is split among all processes ?
OR 
each process gets its independent full 4GB linear address space. ?

Each process gets it own full 4GB address space.
And hence, its also called the process address space.
