Hello,
1) I think, there is a difference in vtop when PAE is not configured and
is configured (kernel 2.6.11)
Any reason ?
I use a very simple program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int var12=12;
main()
{
printf("@var12 : %p\n", &var12);
pause();
}
***************PAE not configured**************
[root@fedora4 ~]# ./essai &
[1] 3196
[root@fedora4 ~]# @var12 : 0x80495a8
[root@fedora4 ~]# crash -s
crash> set 3196
[.]
crash> vtop 0x80495a8
VIRTUAL PHYSICAL
80495a8 1e28c5a8
PAGE DIRECTORY: dda2f000
PGD: dda2f080 => 1f0a7067
PMD: dda2f080 => 1f0a7067
PTE: 1f0a7124 => 1e28c067
PAGE: 1e28c000 <----------------------------
[...]
PAGE is the physical address of the page

PAGE is really the physical adress of var12
2) Also an option should be nice in rd to see hexadecimal without the
ascii part
With PAE on, if i want du see the 4 references in the PGD, i am not
really interested
in the ascii part ?
