Hi, I was looking through my PowerPC's /proc/*/maps and noticing that there are entries which contains "---p" and have a valid map->vm_file. It looks a bit fishy, because this means that this vma is neither readable, writable, nor executable... Can this be? I was looking at my x86's /proc/*/maps, and it doesn't have these peculiar entries, and I can clearly identify which vmas are code, data, stack, and heap. Anyone have any ideas about what these vma's are? - Hai -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
