Originally, the kernel loaded at "real" addr 64k. That is the default for Linux on most platforms. But you could change that, and for 1M alignment, some do so on S/390.
Going with mapped memory, it sounds like absolute zero is the virtual pref for kernel space. Cool. Easily handled in all virt mem platforms. -- R; <>< On Mar 17, 2011 7:53 AM, "Shane G" <[email protected]> wrote: > As Rob pointed out, good luck trying to figure what that actually resolves to > hardware-wise. > > Shane ... > > On Thu, Mar 17th, 2011 at 8:46 PM, Heiko Carstens wrote: > >> The kernel gets loaded to address absolute zero ... > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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/
