Subject[PATCH] shmat() and CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP
Date
On PARISC-Linux the stack grows up, which is why on this platform CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP is #defined by default.
The patch below allows shmat() to map the requested memory region on this platform directly below the start of the stack, without the need to reserve memory for a downward-growing stack.
Basically it gains a small region of 4 Pages in which shmat() may map memory on this platform.
