FreeBSD windy.airemix.net 8.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE #0: Thu Feb 17 02:41:51 UTC 2011 root at mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
>Description:
FreeBSD's mmap supports MAP_STACK as flags.
But when addr is NULL it won't find any suitable addr and try to use addr:0 and fails.
Note that manpage has following description and without MAP_STACK it find unallocated space and use it.
"If addr is zero, an address will be selected by the system. The actual starting address of the region is returned."
>How-To-Repeat:
Run following program. Both mmap should success but on FreeBSD 8.2 first one fails.
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main (void) {
void *ptr;
errno = 0;
ptr = mmap((void *)0, 1, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_STACK, -1, 0);
printf("addr=0: ptr=%p, errno=%d\n", ptr, errno);
errno = 0;
ptr = mmap((void *)1, 1, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_STACK, -1, 0);
printf("addr=1: ptr=%p, errno=%d\n", ptr, errno);
return 0;
}
