[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] linux-user: map at TARGET_UNMAPPED_BASE with reserved_va

[Alexander Graf]

When mmap()'ing memory somewhere where it's not allowed, we should not
default to the "next free page" which could be right after brk()'ed memory,
but rather at TARGET_UNMAPPED_BASE, which ensures that brk() can extend its
space later on.
