Is there any way to move memory within a process? That is, I have a bunch of valid pages at addresses [A..B) and I want to move those pages to [C..C+(B-A)).
The principal use case I have at the moment has the initial mapping mapped MAP_ANON, with C fixed and mmap()-style semantics for anything that was in the target range to start with. It's OK if the [A..B) range is unmapped in the process, and it's OK to requires that the old and new address ranges not overlap. (I'm trying to implement an alternative memory allocator and want realloc() for multi-page blocks to be faster than copying all the bytes.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
