Subject: /proc/<pid>/maps offset output broken
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:24:49 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49CA8501.1000000@nortel.com> (raw)


I was validating some code dealing with /proc/<pid>/maps on 2.6.29 and 
was surprised when it failed.  It turns out that at least on my ppc64 G5 
machine the offset value for the last entry is strange--it shows up as a 
64-bit value even though the process itself is only 32-bit.

This behaviour also shows up in 2.6.25, but doesn't in 2.6.14.  I 
haven't yet tested anything else in between.

[cfriesen@localhost cfriesen]$ cat /proc/self/maps

I'm at a loss to explain what's going on here.  Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris
