Its a logical direction however thant we end up with bigger page sizes either by hardware or by software merging and end up having different page sizes for legacy 32bit binaries. > I'd really strongly prefer to have no header.

If we ever get page size variations and the like then /proc/pid/ is going to end up with that information anyway for ps and friends to use. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
