The kernel gets loaded to address absolute zero and uses a 1:1 mapping for virtual to physical pages. /proc/iomem tells you which memory areas the kernel uses. This does not include kernel modules which get loaded into the vmalloc area which is a virtual address range that for current kernels starts at address 0x000003c000000000. That range (or better parts of it) gets backed with arbitrary physical pages when needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
