what about bigmem?what about bigmem?Posted Aug 25, 2009 21:37 UTC (Tue) by jtk@us.ibm.com (subscriber, #29832)Parent article: Null pointers, one month later
Dim memory here...are the bigmem kernels the ones where the kernel address space is separate from user space (lets users use 4GB of address space on 32-bit kernels)?
It's a performance hit, but a security win, that you can't access user memory via the process's virtual addressing.
