Hi Catalin and Will,

when we mmap the addr NULL with MAP_FIXED flag to the hugetlbfs, system 
will return NULL successfully.

My question is: Why mmap to file with the hugepagesize=512M  we got 
SIGILL but mmap to the file with hugepagesize=2M we got a success ? Here 
is my test steps:

     1. echo 10 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages

         echo 10 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-524288kB/nr_hugepages

     2. mount none /mnt -t tmpfs

     3. mkdir /mnt/huge1

         mkdir /mnt/huge2

     4. mount none /mnt/huge1 -t hugetlbfs -o pagesize=512MB

         mount none /mnt/huge2 -t hugetlbfs -o pagesize=2MB

     5. test_case.c

         ... ...

         fd = open("/mnt/huge1/file", O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0777);

         addr = mmap(NULL, hugepagesize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, 
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED, fd, 0);

         ... ...

The result is , mmap to the /mnt/huge1/file will got a success while 
mmap to the /mnt/huge2/file will got SIGILL. Meanwile, we have found 
that the kernel return the address NULL success but set the variable failed.

Here is the pc when SIGILL occured:

         4009bc:   97ffff7d    bl  4007b0 <mmap@plt>

pc->4009c0:   aa0003e1    mov x1, x0

Kind regards,

Yongqiang Liu
