Subject: Kernel page table and module text
Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2005 02:20:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <17d798805041723205bd480ca@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
Since module is loaded in non-contiguous memory, there has to be an
entry in the kernel page table for all modules that are loaded on the
system. I am trying to find entries corresponding to my module text in
the page tables.
I am not clear about how the kernel page table is organized after the
system switches to protected mode.
I printed out the page starting with swapper_pg_dir . But I do not
find the addresses for all the modules loaded in the system.
Do I still need to read the pg0 and pg1 pages ?
If somebody can explain how to traverse the kernel page tables, that
would be very helpful.
thanks,
Allison
