[PATCH 6/7] linux-user/hppa: Allow PROT_GROWSUP and PROT_GROWSDOWN in mp


From: Helge Deller
Subject: [PATCH 6/7] linux-user/hppa: Allow PROT_GROWSUP and PROT_GROWSDOWN in mprotect()
Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2022 13:45:00 +0200

The hppa platform uses an upwards-growing stack and required in Linux
kernels < 5.18 an executable stack for signal processing.  For that some
executables and libraries are marked to have an executable stack, for
which glibc uses the mprotect() syscall to mark the stack like this:
 mprotect(xfa000000,4096,PROT_EXEC|PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_GROWSUP).

Currently qemu will return -TARGET_EINVAL for this syscall because of the
checks in validate_prot_to_pageflags(), which doesn't allow the
PROT_GROWSUP or PROT_GROWSDOWN flags and thus triggers this error in the
guest:
 error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot enable executable 
stack as shared object requires: Invalid argument

Allow mprotect() to handle both flags and thus fix the guest.
The glibc tst-execstack testcase can be used to reproduce the issue.
