Subject: [9fans] automatic page sharing
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 19:05:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090418170506.GA4722@nibiru.local> (raw)
Hi folks,
some time ago, we had several discussions about shared libraries,
mmap(), etc. One of the major arguments for shared libraries is
to share code pages between processes - and the traditional *nix
approach to do so is mmap() (at least on the systems I know).
Assuming statically linked-in libraries are properly aligned,
we'll have lots of equal pages in the system, so the kernel could
find and automatically map them together.
What do you think about this approach ?
Would it be hard to implement this ?
