| |
Hi, Is there a way to determine the page offset (usually 0xC0000000) from a loaded kernel module dynamically? This becomes a problem when trying to insert modules into kernels that might have a different page offset than the one the module was compiled with. For example, if the PAGE_OFFSET macro in page.h has been changed to say 0x80000000 to accomodate a 2g + 2g kernel/user space as opposed to the more usual 1g + 3g kernel/user division this will cause the module that uses the wrong PAGE_OFFSET value to do extremely weird things. Is there a consistent, relatively kernel-independent way of dealing with this? I would appreciate if you would also copy me on any responses.
Thanks in advance, Sumanth
