How to build DocBook in Linux kernel?

Re: any NX memory areas?

n. Meanwhile, 3.10.3 clearly mentions NX bit can be turned on in x86-64 (IA32e in Intel term). So this means NX is really only possible in 64bit OS??? But then why Linux 32 turns on NX? Could anybody confirm this confusion? Thanks, H > On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 12:23 PM, NAHieu wrote: >&g

nux, as long as PAE is enable. I am still stuck here (on 32bit Linux). It seems nobody can shed some lights in this problem? Thanks, H > On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 4:27 AM, NAHieu wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I inspect my Linux memory, and it seems that there is no area that >> pro

any NX memory areas?

Hi, I inspect my Linux memory, and it seems that there is no area that prohibite execution like I expected (using NX bit in modern CPU). That really surprises me. I looked at some potential data areas exported in System.map file, like: - mark_rodata_ro - sysctl_data - new_cpu_data - boot_cpu_dat

HIGHMEM4G & PAE possible?

hi, i heard that it is possible to have HIGHMEM4G and PAE options combined. Is that really possible? I am on 2.6.28.2, and choose HIGHMEM4G. But there is no place to enable PAE at all (??) Thanks, H -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecar...@nl.l

current macro in late kernel version?

Hi, I noticed that the value of "current" macro has changed in the newer kernel version (from 2.6.20?). It seems that now the task_struct structure that points to the current process is now put in the FS segment. That means from address range 0 upwards, we have the "current" structure. Could anybo

struct file --> pid ?

Hello, Given a file pointer (struct file *), what is the most effecient way to find out the pid of the process that manages this file pointer? I look into the file structure, but still havent seen any way to do that. There is one solution: traverse all the processes in the system, and compare m
