Functions

unsigned long l4_mem_read (unsigned long virtaddress, unsigned width)

 Write user task memory from kernel privilege level.
 

Detailed Description

Operations for memory access.

This module provides functionality to access user task memory from the kernel. This is needed for some devices that are only accessible from privileged processor mode. Only use this when absolutely required. This functionality is only available on the ARM architecture.

#include <l4/sys/mem_op.h>

Function Documentation

◆ l4_mem_read()

unsigned long l4_mem_read ( unsigned long  virtaddress,
unsigned  width 
)
inline

Read user task memory from kernel privilege level.

Parameters
virtaddressVirtual address in the calling task.
widthWidth of access in bytes in log2,

Returns
Read value.

Upon an given invalid address or invalid width value the function does nothing.

inline

Write user task memory from kernel privilege level.

Parameters
virtaddressVirtual address in the calling task.
widthWidth of access in bytes in log2 (i.e. allowed values: 0, 1, 2)
