linuxolator: amd64 Linux Test Project failures

[Scot Hetzel]

I think I found the problem,  I had wrongly assumed that the code was
using (char *)-1 as the address to pass to the function.  Instead the
code in access03, is using mmap to assign an address to variable
bad_address.

Below is the test program that shows that the problem is in mmap.

#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <signal.h>

#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

int
main()
{
   char * bad_addr;

   access((char *)-1, 0);
   bad_addr = mmap(0, 1, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);
   printf("bad_addr = %p\n", bad_addr);
   access(bad_addr, 0);
   return(0);
}

hp010 / # gcc t1.c -o t1
hp010 / # ./t1
bad_addr = 0x2805e000
hp010 / # exit
exit
