PR_SET_MM_MAP(2const)

PR_SET_MM_MAP2const

Modify kernel memory map descriptor fields

Usage

#include <linux/prctl.h>  /* Definition of PR_* constants */
#include <sys/prctl.h>

int prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP, struct prctl_mm_map *map, unsigned long size, 0L); int prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP_SIZE, unsigned int *size, 0L, 0L);

Library

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

Overview

PR_SET_MM_MAP

Provides one-shot access to all the addresses modifyable with PR_SET_MM(2const) by passing in a struct prctl_mm_map (as defined in <linux/prctl.h>). The size argument should provide the size of the struct.

PR_SET_MM_MAP_SIZE

Returns (via the size argument) the size of the struct prctl_mm_map the kernel expects. This allows user space to find a compatible struct.

These features are available only if the kernel is built with the CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option enabled.

Return value

On success, 0 is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

Errors

EINVAL

The third argument is an invalid address.
