Hi,
I'm wondering what changes were put into the fedora kernel and glibc (?) to enable the process memory map change that I have observed between another Linux distribution (Mandrake 9.2), and Fedora Core 2.
I believe that the 'flexible-mmap' patch that is part of the -mm kernel at the moment is involved. Are there any other changes such as in ld.so?
The memory maps in question are output below.
Thanks,
..John
