From 00faf08c951fcc351467faac5697307a86edb077 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Maydell Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 16:34:24 +0100 Subject: linux-user: Don't use MAP_FIXED in do_brk() Since mmap() with MAP_FIXED will map over the top of existing mappings, it's a bad idea to use it to implement brk(), because brk() with a large size is likely to overwrite important things like qemu itself or the host libc. So we drop MAP_FIXED and handle "mapped but at different address" as an error case instead.
