hi,
Do u want to say that the address in yr example
program
go through tha page table?
if yes then i would clear you that each and every
address issued by processor always go through
page tables,(forget about cache etc ),
becoz linux and every modern OS enables paging at very
start when it starts in real mode(X86) ,
I think you can find the code of enabling the paging
bit(I think in CR0)
register in head.S in linux,in which processor
switches
from direct address to page table addressing(forget
about
segmentation again u wont disable in intel processors
)
you should read code of switching from real to
protected its very interesting code further any doubts
their u raise on the list.
