PATCH 1/1 MIPS: Add len and addr validation for MAP_FIXED mappings.

From: David Daney <[email protected]>

mmap with MAP_FIXED was not validating the addr and len parameters. This leads to the failure of GCC's gcc.c-torture/execute/loop-2[fg].c testcases when using the o32 ABI on a 64 bit kernel.

These testcases try to mmap 65536 bytes at 0x7fff8000 and then access all the memory. In 2.6.18 and 2.6.23.1 (and likely other versions as well) the kernel maps the requested memory, but since half of it is above 0x80000000 a SIGBUS is generated when it is accessed.

This patch moves the len validation above the MAP_FIXED processing so that it is always validated. It also adds validation to the addr parameter for MAP_FIXED mappings.

The patch is against 2.6.23.1 from kernel.org and was tested in a 64 bit big-endian kernel.
