brk(3)/break(2) does not fail for very high adresses
Hi,
While still working on compat linux regression tests, i noticed a
problem where native brk(3) does not fail for very high addresses such
as (void *)-1 (... really the last PAGE_SIZE-1 adresses).
I tracked it to the break(2) syscall (uvm_unix.c:sys_obreak()), where
new = round_page((vaddr_t)SCARG(uap, nsize));
make the new value wrap, coming back to 0; and then defeat the check
for exceeding process limit.
28043 1 test CALL break(0xffffffffffffffff)
28043 1 test RET break 0
Is the attached patch ok ? It make break(2) fail, when the rounded
adress wrap.
Thanks.
