Nabble - Fedora Women List

Is there a sticker for this group ?

2008-09-01T00:54:12Z

I apologize in advance about the abrupt question. The bottom-line is
that I got asked by someone who wants to do some stickers for Fedora
Women to distribute during talks and I could not point them to anywhere.

And, thanks for bringing it to life!

There are many RHEL-ish issues/resolutions that I encounter as well.

Will start sharing them here on :)

Think Jamie is right.

I have observed behaviour were this file grows based on accessed memory (would this be kernel shared mem params?)

But it is definitely not just size of physical RAM+4KB on a machine.

Hello,

I really thought that this list is completely dead :-)

This does not seem to be the case, however, when I do a listing in
/proc/kcore on my machine (F8) which has 2 GB of memory:

ls -lh /proc/kcore
-r-------- 1 root root 897M 2008-08-01 19:05 /proc/kcore

I have confirmed the same type of results on other machines to which I
have access. I also do not seem to have the kcore.h file on my system
(and I have kernel-devel installed), since it is a zero byte file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-07-21 02:05
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.11-60.fc8-i686/include/config/proc/kcore.h

As far as I know, the size of kcore is equal not to the size of _all_ physical memory installed on the machine, but just to the amount of memory accessible by kernel.
Your kernel seems to be compiled with HIGHMEM support, and if you do `ls -l /proc/kcore` you see your LOWMEM size, the real memory that the kernel uses. That the reason why the difference you mentioned comes.

Someone will correct me, if I'm wrong :)

All the best,

As far as I know, the size of kcore is equal not to the size of _all_
physical memory installed on the machine, but just to the amount of
memory accessible by kernel.
Your kernel seems to be compiled with HIGHMEM support, and if you do `ls
-l /proc/kcore` you see your LOWMEM size, the real memory that the
kernel uses. That the reason why the difference you mentioned comes.

question about /proc/kcore

2008-08-01T16:37:53Z

Hello,

I know this list has been rather quiet for a while... so I might as
well ask a question :-)

I've been trying to find some information on /proc/kcore and have not
been entirely successful. I know is that it is an alias to memory,
that is in ELF format, and that can be used with gdb to debug the
kernel. The `k' seems to imply that it is the kernel's memory, but
all documentation I've found states that it is the size of physical
memory plus 4KB (example below):

https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/en-US/Reference_Guide/s2-proc-kcore.html

This does not seem to be the case, however, when I do a listing in
/proc/kcore on my machine (F8) which has 2 GB of memory:

ls -lh /proc/kcore
-r-------- 1 root root 897M 2008-08-01 19:05 /proc/kcore

I have confirmed the same type of results on other machines to which I
have access. I also do not seem to have the kcore.h file on my system
(and I have kernel-devel installed), since it is a zero byte file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-07-21 02:05
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.11-60.fc8-i686/include/config/proc/kcore.h

I am also aware of other tools that can be used to extract information
about kcore like the redhat crash utility:

http://people.redhat.com/anderson/

I am wondering why there is a discrepancy between the documentation
and the actual implementation of the /proc/kcore file? I would also
like to know where I can find more detailed information about the
kcore file besides the usual description of what it is and how to use
it for debugging.

All the best,

-Jamie Levy

hey!

i dont know who is organizing this but i just saw it:

http://shesgeeky.org/

A Women's Tech (un)Conference

October 22-23 Computer History Museum, Mountain View, CA.

Our goal is to create an open space forum for women in tech to come
together to

1. Exchanging skills and learning from women from diverse fields of
technology.
2. Discussing topics about women and technology.
3. Connecting the diverse range of women in technology, computing,
entrepreneurship, funding, hardware, open source, nonprofit and any
other technical geeky field.

This is an unconference so it will have an agenda created by the people
who attend.
