From e41cb217a3acdc06fb159178f1c38d53c9d51a35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Hanson Date: Mon, 16 Dec 1996 04:40:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Use special allocator to allocate the heap when running under Linux. Linux ELF pushes the text and data segments up into high addresses, leaving most of the low addresses empty. To get access to them, we must use mmap. --- v7/src/microcode/config.h | 7 ++++++- v7/src/microcode/s/linux.h | 24 +++++++----------------- v7/src/microcode/ux.c | 21 ++++++++++++++++++++- 3 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) diff --git a/v7/src/microcode/config.h b/v7/src/microcode/config.h index 0722ba5a8..35536691b 100644 --- a/v7/src/microcode/config.h +++ b/v7/src/microcode/config.h @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ /* -*-C-*- -$Id: config.h,v 9.95 1996/03/04 20:32:53 cph Exp $ +$Id: config.h,v 9.96 1996/12/16 04:37:14 cph Exp $ Copyright (c) 1987-96 Massachusetts Institute of Technology @@ -440,6 +440,11 @@ typedef unsigned long SCHEME_OBJECT; # define HAS_MODF #endif +#ifdef __linux +extern void * linux_heap_malloc (unsigned long); +#define HEAP_MALLOC linux_heap_malloc +#endif + #if defined(WINNT) && !defined(WINNT_RAW_ADDRESSES) /* This kludge exists because of Win32s which allocates diff --git a/v7/src/microcode/s/linux.h b/v7/src/microcode/s/linux.h index 29ea01a9a..87366993a 100644 --- a/v7/src/microcode/s/linux.h +++ b/v7/src/microcode/s/linux.h @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* -*-C-*- System file for Linux -$Id: linux.h,v 1.9 1996/12/11 07:21:37 cph Exp $ +$Id: linux.h,v 1.10 1996/12/16 04:40:03 cph Exp $ Copyright (c) 1995-96 Massachusetts Institute of Technology @@ -39,30 +39,20 @@ MIT in each case. */ #define ALTERNATE_M4 s/ultrix.m4 -/* The following change is necessary if ELF binaries are used. - Unfortunately, it is insufficient, because the Linux ELF - implementation also moves the text and data segments to 0x08000000, - which means that all of the pointer manipulation code must be - changed.
