Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2006 19:08:48 +0000 (GMT) From: ranjith kumar <ranjit_kumar_b4u@...oo.co.uk> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: privilege level of program which is called by call_usermodehelper() Hi, I think the program which is called by call_usermodehelper() will not be executed at privilege level zero on IA-32 machines. Am I right? How to run a program which has been compiled by a compiler(say gcc) at privilege level zero? Indeed I want to compare time taken in executing two programs. If we run them at privilege level zero by calling them in a kernel module, processor will not switch to other processors. So that we can find out time taken to execute a program more accurately. What you say?? Thanks in advance. ___________________________________________________________ Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo!
