Yes. But it's not a kernel bug. Kernel 3.14 and previous stable releases are OK. I did proposed a glibc change in my previous mail (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-parisc/msg05384.html). Debian bug report with patch is here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=741243 And this is what I proposed: A trivial FIX/workaround would be to change libc-mmap.h like this: #ifdef __hppa__ #define MAP_FIXED_ALIGNMENT 4096 #else #define MAP_FIXED_ALIGNMENT SHMLBA #endif That works because then the new aligned address is then the same as the original (the mmap call returns 4k aligned addresses, so it stays unchanged), but I'm not sure if such a patch would be acceptable. Do you have another idea/proposal?
