There is a libunwind test-case that used to work fine but fails with
recent kernels (e.g., 2.6.23-rc2). The problem is exhibited by the
attached test program. It attempts to map the page right after the
register-backing-store area with a no-access page. The mmap call
succeeds, but the kernel incorrectly maps the no-access page not at
the desired location, but at the next page. If I specify MAP_FIXED,
the mmap() call succeeds, but I don't think MAP_FIXED should be
necessary here. Anybody can think of any patches that would explain
this change of behavior?
