The value given by mmap_find_vma_reserved() is used with mmap(),
so it is needed to be aligned with the host page size.

Since commit 18e80c55bb, reserved_va is only aligned to TARGET_PAGE_SIZE,
and it works well if this size is greater or equal to the host page size.

But ppc64 hosts have 64kB page size and when we start a 4kiB page size
guest (like i386), it fails when it tries to mmap the stack:

    mmap stack: Invalid argument

Fixes: 18e80c55bb (linux-user: Tidy and enforce reserved_va initialization)

Richard,

I think this fix could be merged into your "linux-user: Fix shmat
emulation by honoring host SHMLBA" patch, by adding something like this
instead:

--- a/linux-user/mmap.c
+++ b/linux-user/mmap.c
@@ -262,6 +262,8 @@ abi_ulong mmap_find_vma(abi_ulong start, abi_ulong
size, abi_ulong align)
     abi_ulong addr;
     int wrapped, repeat;

+    align = MAX(align, qemu_host_page_size);
+
     /* If 'start' == 0, then a default start address is used. */
     if (start == 0) {
         start = mmap_next_start;

Thanks,
Laurent

So... this silently overrides the command-line argument.  The current code is
only a problem because we assign the default to a global variable, which must
be a compile-time constant.

I wonder if it's worth add an error message in handle_arg_reserved_va, and
moving the default initialization logic from the global variable to here, as

    if (HOST_LONG_BITS == 64 &&
        TARGET_VIRT_ADDR_SPACE_BITS <= 32 &&
        reserved_va == 0) {
        reserved_va = MAX_RESERVED_VA & qemu_host_page_mask;
    }

merging your comment with the moved comment from the global variable init.

Well, not "instead", but "in addition".

Nothing works right when the guest adjustment itself is unaligned, as is the
case with reserved_va as you noted, and with (non-reserved) guest_base as I
noted in that patch.

For v2, I'll split the guest_base fix out to a separate patch.
