execmem_vmap(9)
πΈ NAME πΈ
Okay bestie, this is execmem_vmap(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and itβs here to create virtual mapping for EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA memory β no cap, thatβs the whole name vibe π
β¨
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
The signature is giving main-character energy:
struct vm_struct * execmem_vmap (size_t size );
π ARGUMENTS π
sizeβ the size of the virtual mapping, in bytes. Thatβs the whole argument, bestie β itβs asize_t, and itβs doing exactly what it says on the label π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
So basically, this maps a virtually contiguous area in the range suitable for EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA. Thatβs the entire description and honestly it ate π₯
Virtually contiguous, suitable for EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA β those details are important, keep them close π§
π¦ RETURN π¦
You get the area descriptor on success, or NULL on failure. Thatβs it β success = area descriptor, failure = NULL, periodt πβ¨
