Hello,

 

After the set_pager function of a thread is called through a cpu_session, the _pager  of that thread is set and used when the actual platform thread starts. But there is only one thread (pager) to resolve all page faults for all threads. I think the pager mapping  happened in platform_thread::start (platform_thread.cc:40-47). Can somebody please explain to me the meaning of this l4_task_map call? I suspect that “_remote_pager_cap” is corresponding to  the global pager, but cannot find any evidence.  Thanks a lot.

 

Best,

Chen
