hurd: Implement MAP_EXCL
MAP_FIXED is defined to silently replace any existing mappings at the address range being mapped over. This, however, is a dangerous, and only rarely desired behavior. Various Unix systems provide replacements or additions to MAP_FIXED: * SerenityOS and Linux provide MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE. If the address space already contains a mapping in the requested range, Linux returns EEXIST. SerenityOS returns ENOMEM, however that is a bug, as the MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE implementation is intended to be compatible with Linux. * FreeBSD provides the MAP_EXCL flag that has to be used in combination with MAP_FIXED. It returns EINVAL if the requested range already contains existing mappings. This is directly analogous to the O_EXCL flag in the open () call. * DragonFly BSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD provide MAP_TRYFIXED, but with different semantics. DragonFly BSD returns ENOMEM if the requested range already contains existing mappings. NetBSD does not return an error, but instead creates the mapping at a different address if the requested range contains mappings. OpenBSD behaves the same, but also notes that this is the default behavior even without MAP_TRYFIXED (which is the case on the Hurd too). Since the Hurd leans closer to the BSD side, add MAP_EXCL as the primary API to request the behavior of not replacing existing mappings. Declare MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE and MAP_TRYFIXED as aliases of (MAP_FIXED|MAP_EXCL), so any existing software that checks for either of those macros will pick them up automatically. For compatibility with Linux, return EEXIST if a mapping already exists. Signed-off-by: Sergey Bugaev <bugaevc@gmail.com> Message-Id: <20230625231751.404120-5-bugaevc@gmail.com>
