Thanks for all replys, > The subject of your mail is « calculating physical memory address », > while the body ask for « calculating logical addresses ». Can you > clarify your question ? I need to know which function translates the linear logical address (e.g. 0x08048000) to the memory address, where the data is physically stored. (And vice versa.) I use the book "Understanding the Linux Kernel 2nd Edition" for my question, there they say: how the calculation of the physical memory address is done. [source: page 56] "Figure 2-4. Translating a logical address" To be more precise: in task_struct is mm_struct. mm_struct has: "unsigned long start_code, end_code, start_data, end_data;". I need to know where start_code and end_code is saved in the physical memory. thanks in advice, -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
