current macro in late kernel version?

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

 



Hi,

I noticed that the value of "current" macro has changed in the newer
kernel version (from 2.6.20?). It seems that now the task_struct
structure that points to the current process is now put in the FS
segment. That means from address range 0 upwards, we have the
"current" structure. Could anybody confirm this?

I remember in the past, we have FS segment register point the the same
base 0 address, as other segment registers. But now FS is used to
access to "current", its base is no longer 0?

Thank you,
H
