Okay, below is my try on implementing this.
I've chosen to respect hint address even without MAP_FIXED, but only if
it doesn't collide with other mappings. Otherwise, fallback to look for
unmapped area within 47-bit window.
Interaction with MPX would requires more work. I'm not yet sure what is the
right way to address it.
Also Dave noticed that some test-cases from ltp would break with the
approach. See for instance hugemmap03. I don't think it matter much as it
tests for negative outcome and I don't expect real world application to do
anything like this.
Test-case that I used to test the patch:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define SIZE (2UL << 20)
#define LOW_ADDR ((void *) (1UL << 30))
#define HIGH_ADDR ((void *) (1UL << 50))
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
void *p;
p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
printf("mmap(NULL): %p\n", p);
p = mmap(LOW_ADDR, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
printf("mmap(%p): %p\n", LOW_ADDR, p);
p = mmap(HIGH_ADDR, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
printf("mmap(%p): %p\n", HIGH_ADDR, p);
p = mmap(HIGH_ADDR, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
printf("mmap(%p) again: %p\n", HIGH_ADDR, p);
p = mmap(HIGH_ADDR, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
printf("mmap(%p, MAP_FIXED): %p\n", HIGH_ADDR, p);
return 0;
}
