Hi Ingo, > This is usally table driven and someone has to set up > this "Page Translation Tables". That's a job of the Linux kernel. Yes setting up the page table entries is the job of the kernel , but for that we need to put the physical add. of the page and some bits (present,access writes etc) in the entry, once it is done the main job of translation which requires the masking and shifting is done by the processor whenever that page is referenced . so why these macros are present in the kernel? -- Thanks and Regards Vivek Kutal http://vivekkutal.blogspot.com "Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
