I am wondering how the swapper code (I think it should be in swap_pager.c and vm_swap.c) is associated with the proc0. Proc0 is created by hand in init_main.c and machdep.c. Everything is setup there, including VM, signal, stack used for stack switch, etc. But the TSS is not fully setup. I mean the registers like %eip to indicate the code for process 0. I maybe dumb to ask this. But a little hint may help me out. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------- | Zhihui Zhang, http://cs.binghamton.edu/~zzhang | | Dept. of Computer Science, SUNY at Binghamton | -------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
