Can you give some insights about the other use cases? Userspace page faults can be handled just fine with the page address (I have done that for the s390x port of valgrind). Would a "works most of the time but might return the page address in 10% of the cases" be ok for your other use cases? (e.g. just for pretty printing this is certainly ok) Christian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
