At a fixed distance after the usable memory that init_guest_space maps, for
32-bit ARM targets we also need to map a commpage. The normal
init_guest_space logic doesn't keep this in mind when searching for an
address range.
If !host_start, then try to find a big continuous segment where we can put
both the usable memory and the commpage; we then munmap that segment and
set current_start to that address; and let the normal code mmap the usable
memory and the commpage separately. That is: if we don't have hint of
where to start looking for memory, come up with one that is better than
NULL. Depending on host_size and guest_start, there may or may not be a
gap between the usable memory and the commpage, so this is slightly more
restrictive than it needs to be; but it's only a hint, so that's OK.
We only do that for !host start, because if host_start, then either:
- we got an address passed in with -B, in which case we don't want to
interfere with what the user said;
- or host_start is based off of the ELF image's loaddr. The check "if
(host_start && real_start != current_start)" suggests that we really
want lowest available address that is >= loaddr. I don't know why that
is, but I'm trusting that Paul Brook knew what he was doing when he
wrote the original version of that check in
c581deda32 way back in 2010.
