Hey list, can somebody tell me, why the register 'CR3' is not part of the struct 'thread_struct' (in processor.h)? Why ist 'CR3' part of the 'tss_struct' ? IMHO, the struct thread_struct saves the hardware context of a process, but this register 'CR3' is not part of the struct. ps: kernel: 2.6.11.4-20a, i686 PIII, thanks Patrick -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
