Hello,
Thereâs three way to perform an invalid memory access :
The attempt to execute/jump at an invalid address.
The attempt to read at an invalid address.
The attempt to write at an invalid address.
Determining the execute case with rt_sigaction is easy : the last value of
eip match the value of the address which caused the segfault.
But how to know if the SIGSEGV occurred by a read or by a write attempt ? In
the same time shouldnât that information belong in the mmu ?
Did you look at the machine specific context of SIGSEGV?
It will give you access to the error code and the trap number.
