Description Pete Zaitcev 2003-08-01 21:08:39 UTC 
Running strace on the sample program produces:

mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x40016000
write(1, "Testing 00401978[1024]\n", 23) = 23
mlock(0x401978, 1073831936)             = 0
write(1, "Return 0, errno 0\n", 18)     = 18
munmap(0x40016000, 4096)                = 0

The length is 1024 (passed to kernel correctly, verified).
The number garbage number 1073831936 is 0x40016000, which was returned
by mmap above.

[zaitcev@devel6 ltp]$ cat /proc/version

The run above was done at Taroon.
Comment 1 Pete Zaitcev 2003-08-01 21:10:40 UTC 
The test is called "munlock" because it degenerated from an LTP test
for munlock(2) which Brock runs for QA regression testing.

Comment 3 Roland McGrath 2003-08-21 10:08:30 UTC 
The argument count for the mlock syscall was wrong in the table.
I fixed it upstream, and a new rpm will roll through before long.
