Hello All,
Are the virtual address's &_etext, &_edata and &_end , always
correspond to END OF TEXT, END OF DATA and END OF BSS ?
If yes , will these be always supported in the newer kernels coming in future?
Thank you,
Vamsi.

that's doubtful; there is no such guarantee of any kind of kernel
internals in linux... I don't see these being any kind of special
exception.
you made me curious... what do you want to use these for?

That's a feature of the linker, not of the kernel.
I don't think they'll go away, but they may not be supported on all platforms.
