by I am doing security reasearch in Linux and have been reading up on the
kernel and there is a lack of documentation on many features. What I
need to do is move large amounts of data from inside the kernel to a
file on the harddrive so that it can later be analyzed. The data comes
erraticly and in about 32K chunks. Some one told me to use mmap and
copy_to_user but would say any more about it. I looked in the
documentation I have and I can't find much on either of these. I think
I understand copy_to_user but not how to use mmap to map a file out on
the hard drive. Could someone direct me to some documentation/examples
or explain any of this to me? I am proficient in C but not on the
kernel stuff.
