Subject: [PATCH 2/3 -v2] mmap: round mmap hint address above mmap_min_addr
Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 18:47:40 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1196120860.16779.14.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 bother compiling in this rounding if it is just a
waste of time.
