Ok I may have got the name wrong :). What I am trying to do is to
implement a package on linux similiar to the TreadMarks by Alan Cox et
al. (ref. http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/amza96treadmarks.html) that runs
at kernel level instead of user level. Right now I think that inorder to
achieve what I want to do, I have to change the code of the linux
virtual memory manager. This is ok for academic purposes (which is my
aim) however it severly reduces portability (it is much easier to just
load a kernel module than to patch and recompile the kernel).

Thanks
Josef
