Hello,
I asked this once in irc, but I think that I was not clear I wanna know how does memory allocation for brand new processes work? In other words, how much of the initial memory is given to this brand new process? How do I calculate this initial amount? For example: When I execute firefox application, how much of the initial memory is allocate? I received in response virtual memory that is allocated to the bin of my application in question. And that physical allocation is done on demand. This is in fs / binfmt_elf.c My questions are: - The amount of memory for the bin is specified when the creation of the process? Who does that? - Initial amount of memory that is flexible? - These things are defined only in fs /? - Someone has some additional information relevant? - some reference about subject?
