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) Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier <laur...@vivier.eu> --- Notes: v2: fix typo s/has/as/ linux-user/main.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/linux-user/main.c b/linux-user/main.c index 52b5a618fe..15299e9dd7 100644 --- a/linux-user/main.c +++ b/linux-user/main.c @@ -689,6 +689,11 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) target_environ = envlist_to_environ(envlist, NULL); envlist_free(envlist); + /* reserved_va must be aligned with the host page size + * as it is used with mmap() + */ + reserved_va &= qemu_host_page_mask; + /* * Now that page sizes are configured in tcg_exec_init() we can do * proper page alignment for guest_base. -- 2.17.1
