mmap() on 64 bit m/c
Dear Experts,
i have a problem related to mmap(), when i run my program on sun for 64 bit which is throwing SIGBUS when it encounters mmap() function, what is the reason how to resolve this one, because it is working for 32 bit.
with regards,
vidya.

Hi.
I need to migrate the whole unix environment from a Unix mp-ras 32 bit to a Linux Suse 64 bit.
1) can i use cpio to copy the data?
2) can i just copy the users from unix to linux or do i have to create them by hand
3) are there any other concerns i should worry about?
thanx (1 Reply)

MMAP2(2) Linux Programmer's Manual MMAP2(2)
NAME
mmap2 - map files or devices into memory
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/mman.h>
void *mmap2(void *addr, size_t length, int prot,
int flags, int fd, off_t pgoffset);
DESCRIPTION
The mmap2() system call operates in exactly the same way as mmap(2), except that the final argument specifies the offset into the file in
4096-byte units (instead of bytes, as is done by mmap(2)). This enables applications that use a 32-bit off_t to map large files (up to
2^44 bytes).
RETURN VALUE
On success, mmap2() returns a pointer to the mapped area. On error -1 is returned and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EFAULT Problem with getting the data from userspace.
EINVAL (Various platforms where the page size is not 4096 bytes.) offset * 4096 is not a multiple of the system page size.
mmap2() can return any of the same errors as mmap(2).
VERSIONS
mmap2() is available since Linux 2.3.31.
CONFORMING TO
This system call is Linux-specific.
NOTES
Nowadays, the glibc mmap() wrapper function invokes this system call rather than the mmap(2) system call.
On ia64, the unit for offset is actually the system page size, rather than 4096 bytes.
