Linux Segments

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Friends!!!

I have one question about Linux and Segments (Paging too...)

I read in the KernelAnalysis-HOWTO, that Linux uses only four 
segments, that are: Kernel Code, Kernel Data/Stack, User Code 
and User Data/Stack, sure?

Well... in the other book (Linux Core Comentary) I read that each 
process have one LDT.

My newbie question is: "How can each process alocate one LDT, if
the Linux uses only 4 segments?"


Sure for my poor English... I'm Brazilian.

Thank's for any help!
