Hi.
the test-secmem fails due to different restriction of FreeBSD kernel.
The FreeBSD kernel does not allow mlock()/mlockall() for ordinary user.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mlock&sektion=2
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=mlockall&sektion=2
"These calls are only available to the super-user."
This behaviour fully conforms to
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/mlock.html
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/mlockall.html
"Appropriate privileges are required to lock process memory ..."
Iff I do as a root in build directory:
cd egg/tests
chown root.root test-secmem
chmod u+s test-secmem
I can later as ordinary user do
cd egg/tests
make check
with output:
TEST: test-secmem... (pid=13110)
/secmem/alloc_free: OK
/secmem/realloc_across: OK
/secmem/alloc_two: OK
/secmem/realloc: OK
/secmem/multialloc: OK
/secmem/clear: OK
/secmem/strclear: OK
PASS: test-secmem
So the code seems to work correctly when appropriate privileges are
available.
Cheers
Petr
