Actually, I'd like to manage the memory space of a process. We develop a process level virtual machine, which could run different binary code( MIPS , SPARC, ..) on different platforms( IA-32...). So I wish I could allocate all the low memory space ( 0~1G) to the guest process(e.g , the entry of a normal mips process begins at 0x004001a0). While the default memory address allocated for ld-linux.so is at 0x0082100, so I'd like to move it to another place, same to another shared libraries.

SHMAT(2) BSD System Calls Manual SHMAT(2)
NAME
shmat, shmdt -- map/unmap shared memory
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/shm.h>
void *
shmat(int shmid, const void *shmaddr, int shmflg);
int
shmdt(const void *shmaddr);
DESCRIPTION
shmat() maps the shared memory segment associated with the shared memory identifier shmid into the address space of the calling process. The
address at which the segment is mapped is determined by the shmaddr parameter. If it is equal to 0, the system will pick an address itself.
Otherwise, an attempt is made to map the shared memory segment at the address shmaddr specifies. If SHM_RND is set in shmflg, the system
will round the address down to a multiple of SHMLBA bytes (SHMLBA is defined in <sys/shm.h>).
A shared memory segment can be mapped read-only by specifying the SHM_RDONLY flag in shmflg.
shmdt() unmaps the shared memory segment that is currently mapped at shmaddr from the calling process' address space. shmaddr must be a
value returned by a prior shmat() call. A shared memory segment will remain in existence until it is removed by a call to shmctl(2) with the
IPC_RMID command.
RETURN VALUES
shmat() returns the address at which the shared memory segment has been mapped into the calling process' address space when successful,
shmdt() returns 0 on successful completion. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned, and the global variable errno is set to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
shmat() will fail if:
[EACCES] The calling process has no permission to access this shared memory segment.
[ENOMEM] There is not enough available data space for the calling process to map the shared memory segment.
[EINVAL] shmid is not a valid shared memory identifier.
shmaddr specifies an illegal address.
[EMFILE] The number of shared memory segments has reached the system-wide limit.
shmdt() will fail if:
[EINVAL] shmaddr is not the start address of a mapped shared memory segment.
SEE ALSO
ipcrm(1), ipcs(1), mmap(2), shmctl(2), shmget(2)
STANDARDS
The shmat and shmdt system calls conform to X/Open System Interfaces and Headers Issue 5 (``XSH5'').
HISTORY
Shared memory segments appeared in the first release of AT&T System V UNIX.
