When looking at the memory usage of QML applications from /proc on Linux (Ubuntu 10.10), I noticed that there is a 16kb segment of memory which is both writable and executable. There are a couple of others, but they seem to be related to my nvidia drivers.
This is a tad worrying, as writable and executable memory is a potential security hole. Can someone explain what this memory segment is for? Is it e.g. related to a jit? This is what the segment looks like in /proc: b34fd000-b3501000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 Size: 16 kB Rss: 4 kB Pss: 4 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 4 kB Referenced: 4 kB Swap: 0 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Thanks in advance! -- Pertti _______________________________________________ Qt-qml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-qml
