On Haiku, test-vma-prot fails with the following:
../../gltests/test-vma-prot.c:68: assertion 'prot == (VMA_PROT_READ |
VMA_PROT_WRITE)' failed
Abort
FAIL test-vma-prot (exit status: 149)
At this point, the following instead is true:
prot == (VMA_PROT_READ | VMA_PROT_WRITE | VMA_PROT_EXECUTE)
I guess when the original code here was written:
if (info.protection & B_READ_AREA)
flags |= VMA_PROT_READ | VMA_PROT_EXECUTE;
the assumption was that readable memory was also executable?
The only documentation I could find for this BeOS/Haiku API only
mentions B_READ_AREA and B_WRITE_AREA [1].
But I see that when mmap was added in 2008 to Haiku it also sets
B_EXECUTE_AREA [2]. Therefore, I applied the attached patch to vma-iter
that fixes the test.
