MAP_FIXED is important for this test but, unfortunately, lowest virtual
address for user space mapping on arm is (PAGE_SIZE * 2) and NULL hint
does not seem to guarantee that when MAP_FIXED is given. This patch sets
the virtual address that will hold the mapping for the test, fixing the
issue.

As far as I remember nil virtual address has been there only to be sure the
vma allocated won't be merged with another vmas. Fore sure most of x86
standart application won't be using 8K address as well, so should do the
trick I think.

(Strictlly speaking the test should be rather parsing own maps first and
 find unused address instead but whatever :)

As the comment in the beginning says this test is specifically for addresss 0.
Maybe it should be ifdeffed with __arm__ then.

Is there some other reason than allocating non-mergable VMA?

IIRC the reason is to test address 0 as it is effectively banned
for userspace so if it will be broken, it will be broken silently
for a long time.

As for "unmergeable" libc here doesn't map /dev/zero. I know how to
avoid even theoretical breakage by creating binaries by hand but it
will be probably too much.

This is rather a side effect of the test because the primary reason
was to check procfs numbers conversion, right? Don't get me wrong,
I don't mind about __arm__ define or similar, this is fine for
one architecture, but if there comes more we will get a number
of #ifdefs which is unrelated to procfs numeric routines at all.

Sure.

That is what I also had in mind, thus the patch. I just realized we had 
another issue on LKFT (our functional tests tool) for 
proc-self-map-files-001.c. Test 001 does pretty much the same as 002, 
but without the MAP_FIXED mmap flag.

Is it okay to consolidate both tests into just 1, and focus in checking 
procfs numbers conversion only, rather than if mapping 0 is allowed or 
not ? Can I send a v2 with that in mind ?

As to me -- yes, I would move zero page testing to a separate memory testcase.
But since Alexey is the former author of the tests better wait for his opinion.

Alexey,

would you care if we turn those 2 tests into 1, taking care of the
zero page testing elsewhere ? Would you mind if I send out a patch for
that ?

Rafael, just make it so. While we preserve old functionality
I think it is fine.
