HI All,

I am new to Kernel newbies. Last month i have started to learn linux kernel. I have struggled to understand the relation between memory and the process.

I would be grateful to you if some one provide the answers/reference document to the below question.

   * How the kernel determine processor architecture. That means at
     what point of the kernel understand the processor architecture and
     start working on architecture based operations?
   * How the process pass the data into the processor and get the output?
   * Does any relation exists b/w file-system and the page table in
     hardware address ?
   * How the kernel load new memory area from the physical disk to RAM.
     Does processor involved  in this operation?
   * How the processor intimate the page fault exception to the kernel
     . which register get involved in this operation?
   * How the process restart the operation after load the required
     pages into the memory?
   * Does processor have separate memory for storing instruction and
     data. If yes, what would be the size ?
   * What is the relation between GDT and LDT. Does each processor have
     its own GDT and LDT?. If so how the process details are organized
     by the kernel  where is it stored in the memory and how the
     process identifies this? what is the default memory space will be
     allocated to this table.

Any information related to processor architecture detail and working would be helpful for me to understand overall structure.

Above questions may be unrelated or stupid. If so sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Prabhu
