Hello:
I'm a newbie to the kernel and trying to
understand parts of kernel by reading its source codes.
I'm reading sys/i386/i386/locore.s.
There is a macro definition in the file sys/i386/i386/locore.s:
#define R(foo) ((foo)-KERNBASE)
But in the /sys/conf/ldscript.i386,
. = kernbase + 0x00100000 + SIZEOF_HEADERS;
And the kernel is loaded in the physical address 0x00100000,
so I think the macro in the locore.s should be:
#define R(foo) ((foo)-KERNBASE-SIZEOF_HEADERS)
Why not?
