[ Upstream commit 18d609daa546c919fd36b62a7b510c18de4b4af8 ] Because mremap does not have a MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE flag, it can destroy existing mappings. This causes a segfault when regions such as text are remapped and the permissions are changed. Verify the requested mremap destination address does not overlap any existing mappings by using mmap's MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE flag. Keep incrementing the destination address until a valid mapping is found or fail the current test once the max address is reached.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
