From 40fb16a360d9c6459afee91dc793c1e3374feb94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Spink Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2008 22:46:12 -0700 Subject: uml: deal with inaccessible address space start This patch makes os_get_task_size locate the bottom of the address space, as well as the top. This is for systems which put a lower limit on mmap addresses. It works by manually scanning pages from zero onwards until a valid page is found. Because the bottom of the address space may not be zero, it's not sufficient to assume the top of the address space is the size of the address space. The size is the difference between the top address and bottom address. [jdike@addtoit.com: changed the name to reflect that this function is supposed to return the top of the process address space, not its size and changed the return value to reflect that. Also some minor formatting changes] Signed-off-by: Tom Spink Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/task_size.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/task_size.c') diff --git a/arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/task_size.c b/arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/task_size.c index ccb49b0aff59..be04c1e183bf 100644 --- a/arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/task_size.c +++ b/arch/um/os-Linux/sys-i386/task_size.c @@ -63,7 +63,7 @@ static int page_ok(unsigned long page) return ok; } -unsigned long os_get_task_size(void) +unsigned long os_get_top_address(void) { struct sigaction sa, old; unsigned long bottom = 0; @@ -76,9 +76,9 @@ unsigned long os_get_task_size(void) * hosts, but shouldn't hurt otherwise. */ unsigned long top = 0xffffd000 >> UM_KERN_PAGE_SHIFT; - unsigned long test; + unsigned long test, original; - printf("Locating the top of the address space ...
