Dear friends:
I have a question about memory protection. I appreciate any suggestion. Thank you so much.
Given a virtual address, how can we know whether this address contains an executable code? If there is a method that can be used to answer the above question, is there any exception for this method?
PS: (a)Could we get the result by checking the VM_EXECUTABLE attribute of the vm_flags of the vm_area_struct for the memory area that contains that address? If yes, does this apply to x86 architecture?
(b) Could information in vm_page_prot of vm_area_struct or in struct mem_map_t help? If yes, which attribute and how?
Best Regards,
FuHau
