in C (on arch linux 64 bit), how would i view a process's memory maps without relying on procfs, if possible the executing process's own memory maps

  • apparently it may be able to be done via somehow reading the kernel data structure

  • as for starters, execve works when without procfs or even devfs , (eg mkdir ./tp ; cp /usr/bin/bash-static /usr/bin/ls-static ./tp/ ; sudo chroot ./tp /bash > bash4-4.0 $ /ls-static)

  • execve is a system call so on the kernel side of things can do whatever needs be done. one idea might be to printf("%pn", (void *)printf) to see the memory address of printf according to the process, but that's guessing around blindly
