linux-user: Fix the computation of the requested heap size

Browse Source 
There were several remaining bugs in the previous implementation of
do_brk():

    1. the value of "new_alloc_size" was one page too large when the
       requested brk was aligned on a host page boundary.

    2. no new pages should be (re-)allocated when the requested brk is
       in the range of the pages that were already allocated
       previsouly (for the same purpose).  Technically these pages are
       never unmapped in the current implementation.

The problem/fix can be reproduced/validated with the test-suite above:

    #include <unistd.h>       /* syscall(2),      */
    #include <sys/syscall.h>  /* SYS_brk,         */
    #include <stdio.h>        /* puts(3),         */
    #include <stdlib.h>       /* exit(3), EXIT_*, */
    #include <stdint.h>       /* uint*_t,         */
    #include <sys/mman.h>     /* mmap(2), MAP_*,  */
    #include <string.h>       /* memset(3), */

    int main()
    {
        int exit_status = EXIT_SUCCESS;
        uint8_t *current_brk = 0;
        uint8_t *initial_brk;
        uint8_t *new_brk;
        uint8_t *old_brk;
        int failure = 0;
        int i;

        void test_brk(int increment, int expected_result) {
            new_brk = (uint8_t *)syscall(SYS_brk, current_brk + increment);
            if ((new_brk == current_brk) == expected_result)
                failure = 1;
            current_brk = (uint8_t *)syscall(SYS_brk, 0);
        }

        void test_result() {
            if (!failure)
                puts("OK");
            else {
                puts("failure");
                exit_status = EXIT_FAILURE;
            }
        }

        void test_title(const char *title) {
            failure = 0;
            printf("%-45s : ", title);
            fflush(stdout);
        }

        test_title("Initialization");
        test_brk(0, 1);
        initial_brk = current_brk;
        test_result();

        test_title("Don't overlap \"brk\" pages");
        test_brk(HOST_PAGE_SIZE, 1);
        test_brk(HOST_PAGE_SIZE, 1);
        test_result();

        /* Preparation for the test "Re-allocated heap is initialized".  */
        old_brk = current_brk - HOST_PAGE_SIZE;
        memset(old_brk, 0xFF, HOST_PAGE_SIZE);

        test_title("Don't allocate the same \"brk\" page twice");
        test_brk(-HOST_PAGE_SIZE, 1);
        test_brk(HOST_PAGE_SIZE, 1);
        test_result();

        test_title("Re-allocated \"brk\" pages are initialized");
        for (i = 0; i < HOST_PAGE_SIZE; i++) {
            if (old_brk[i] != 0) {
                printf("(index = %d, value = 0x%x) ", i, old_brk[i]);
                failure = 1;
                break;
            }
        }
        test_result();

        test_title("Don't allocate \"brk\" pages over \"mmap\" pages");
        new_brk = mmap(current_brk, HOST_PAGE_SIZE / 2, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
        if (new_brk == (void *) -1)
            puts("unknown");
        else {
            test_brk(HOST_PAGE_SIZE, 0);
            test_result();
        }

        test_title("All \"brk\" pages are writable (please wait)");
        if (munmap(current_brk, HOST_PAGE_SIZE / 2) != 0)
            puts("unknown");
        else {
            while (current_brk - initial_brk < 2*1024*1024*1024UL) {
                old_brk = current_brk;

                test_brk(HOST_PAGE_SIZE, -1);
                if (old_brk == current_brk)
                    break;

                for (i = 0; i < HOST_PAGE_SIZE; i++)
                    old_brk[i] = 0xAA;
            }
            puts("OK");
        }

        test_title("Maximum size of the heap > 16MB");
        failure = (current_brk - initial_brk) < 16*1024*1024;
        test_result();

        exit(exit_status);
    }

Changes introduced in patch v2:

    * extend the "brk" test-suite embedded within the commit message;

    * heap contents have to be initialized to zero, this bug was
      exposed by "tst-calloc.c" from the GNU C library;

    * don't [try to] allocate a new host page if the new "brk" is
      equal to the latest allocated host page ("brk_page"); and

    * print some debug information when DEBUGF_BRK is defined.
