Segment Base/Limit #34

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I would like to see EDB be able to show and utilize the base and limit of the 
segment descriptors. I am guessing that this would require either use of 
/dev/kmem which unfortunately would not work on every machine, or an LKM that 
comes packaged with EDB. This LKM would simply provide a new system call or 
ioctl which would allow EDB to probe the kernel memory to get this data.

Will be in version 0.9.5. EDB now utilizes the undocumented 
PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA call which gives EDB access to GS on Linux (which is the 
only segment that's not flat on x86 Linux).
