- <tschwinge> braunr, pinotree, youpi: Has either of you already figured out
- what [glibc]/sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c:fmh »XXX loser kludge for
- vm_map kernel bug« is about?
- <pinotree> tschwinge: ETOOLOWLEVELFORME :)
- <pinotree> tschwinge: 5bf62f2d3a8af353fac661b224fc1604d4de51ea added it
- <braunr> tschwinge: no, but that looks interesting
- <braunr> i'll have a look later
- <tschwinge> Heh, "interesting". ;-)
- <tschwinge> It seems related to vm_map's mask
- parameter/ELF_MACHINE_USER_ADDRESS_MASK, though the latter in only used
- in the mmap implementation in sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c (in mmap.c, 0
- is passed; perhaps due to the bug?).
- <tschwinge> braunr: Anyway, I'd already welcome a patch to simply turn that
- into a more comprehensible form.
- <braunr> tschwinge: ELF_MACHINE_USER_ADDRESS_MASK is defined as "Mask
- identifying addresses reserved for the user program, where the dynamic
- linker should not map anything."
- <braunr> about the vm_map parameter, which is a mask, it is described by
- "Bits asserted in this mask must not be asserted in the address returned"
- <braunr> so it's an alignment constraint
- <braunr> the kludge disables alignment, apparently because gnumach doesn't
- handle them correctly for some cases
- <tschwinge> braunr: But ELF_MACHINE_USER_ADDRESS_MASK is 0xf8000000, so I'd
- rather assume this means to restrict to addresses lower than 0xf8000000.
- (What are whigher ones reserved for?)
- <braunr> tschwinge: the linker i suppose
- <braunr> tschwinge: sorry, i don't understand what
- ELF_MACHINE_USER_ADDRESS_MASK really is used for :/
- <braunr> tschwinge: it looks unused for the other systems
- <braunr> tschwinge: i guess it's just one way to partition the address
- space, so that the linker knows where to load libraries and mmap can
- still allocate large contiguous blocks
- <braunr> tschwinge: 0xf8000000 means each "chunk" of linker/other blocks
- are 128 MiB large
- <tschwinge> braunr: OK, thanks for looking. I guess I'll ask Roland about
- it.
- <braunr> it could be that gnumach isn't good at aligning to large values

- <braunr> pinotree: do you understand what the fmh function does in
- sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c ?
- <braunr> ok i understand what it does
- <braunr> and youpi has changed the code, so he does too
- <braunr> youpi: do you have a suggestion about how to solve this issue in
- the fmh function ?
- <youpi> do we remember which bug it's after?
- <braunr> what do you mean ?
- <braunr> ah
- <braunr> no :/
- <braunr> it could be a good occasion to get rid of it, yes
