For some reason, on 32-bit x86 the mmap_start address is very close to the beginning of the stack. Because of this, benchmarks like gzip that allocate 64MB using mmap fail (while giving a soewhat obscure "memory already mapped" pagetable error).
This patch arbitrarily moves the value down some, the value picked probably isn't a good one. diff -r 1b22ddf9266a src/arch/x86/process.cc --- a/src/arch/x86/process.cc Mon Sep 21 23:04:31 2009 -0400 +++ b/src/arch/x86/process.cc Mon Sep 21 23:05:57 2009 -0400 @@ -184,7 +184,7 @@ // Set up region for mmaps.
