in constrast to the L4 platforms, on which 'attach_at' is needed for constructing child address spaces, we had no use for 'attach_at' on Linux so far. We simply start processes using 'execve' and leave the allocation of virtual memory to the Linux kernel. > I'll also need this feature in the base-okl4 code (and I would try to > add it also there if necessary...) It is there already. ;-) > Is there any risk/ nasty surprise when using it? On Linux, you'll have to make assumptions about how the Linux kernel allocates mmap regions. I would try to avoid relying on such heuristics. Do you have a particular reason for specifying local addresses for 'mmap()'?
