I have carefully tested your patch on qemu with sv57. A bug that needs
to be solved is that mmap with the same hint address without MAP_FIXED
set will fail the second time.
Userspace code to reproduce the bug:
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
void test(char *addr) {
char *res = mmap(addr, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS
| MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
printf("hint %p got %p.\n", addr, res);
}
int main (void) {
test(1<<30);
test(1<<30);
test(1<<30);
return 0;
}
output:
hint 0x40000000 got 0x40000000.
hint 0x40000000 got 0xffffffffffffffff.
hint 0x40000000 got 0xffffffffffffffff.
output on x86:
hint 0x40000000 got 0x40000000.
hint 0x40000000 got 0x7f9171363000.
hint 0x40000000 got 0x7f9171362000.
It may need to implement a special arch_get_unmapped_area and
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown function.
