I don't believe it has any remapping ability... but as I've said - when I get around to resolving this shared mmap issue I'll know more about the way forward. At the moment, the hold up is this EABI crap - the filesystem I have for the Xscale 3 platform is EABI only so I can't run any of my existing test programs, and I don't have a toolchain capable of generating executables for EABI userspace - and I don't think I can sensibly put the OABI libraries on the platform either. So my first problem to resolve is how to run my test programs which show up the issue on this hardware. The second problem which is proving difficult is to find out why one of the patches which enabled proper use of the set_pte_ext() function on Xscale 3 CPUs resulted in Lennert's IOP board falling over - I've not heard anything further from Lennert on that issue yet, despite prodding. So, I might just throw it into the next merge window _anyway_ and then we'll get more people testing it and hopefully get to the bottom of the window. The other alternative is to just let the patch sit around for ever and nothing will happen - which clearly isn't productive. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
