Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mmap: round mmap hint address above mmap_min_addr
Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:54:46 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1195246486.2924.87.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
If mmap_min_addr is set and a process attempts to mmap (not fixed) with
a non-null hint address less than mmap_min_addr the mapping will fail
the security checks. Since this is just a hint address this patch will
round such a hint address above mmap_min_addr.
gcj was found to try to be very frugal with vm usage and give hint
addresses in the 8k-32k range. Without this patch all such programs
failed and with the patch they happily get a higher address.
This patch is wrappad in CONFIG_SECURITY since mmap_min_addr doesn't
exist without it and there would be no security check possible no matter
what. So we should not both compiling in this rounding if it is just a
waste of time.
