Not a bug, just an inconsistency:
#defines for MADV_* are different between glibc-2.2.4 and recent linux kernels.
Most src/linux/include/asm*/mman.h define MADV_* in hex. asm-alpha and asm-parisc in Linus and Alan trees use decimal.
/usr/include/bits comes from glibc.
hrandoz@rushmore:/$ grep " MADV_" /usr/include/bits/mman.h # define MADV_NORMAL 0 /* No further special treatment. */ # define MADV_RANDOM 1 /* Expect random page references. */ # define MADV_SEQUENTIAL 2 /* Expect sequential page references. */ # define MADV_WILLNEED 3 /* Will need these pages. */ # define MADV_DONTNEED 4 /* Don't need these pages. */
/usr/include/asm comes from src/linux/include/asm.
hrandoz@rushmore:/$ grep " MADV_" /usr/include/asm/mman.h #define MADV_NORMAL 0x0 /* default page-in behavior */ #define MADV_RANDOM 0x1 /* page-in minimum required */ #define MADV_SEQUENTIAL 0x2 /* read-ahead aggressively */ #define MADV_WILLNEED 0x3 /* pre-fault pages */ #define MADV_DONTNEED 0x4 /* discard these pages */
Programs like mremap04.c from the Linux Test Project that include mman.h give a warning like:
cc -o mremap04 mremap04.c -I../../../../include -L../../../../lib -lltp In file included from /usr/include/linux/mman.h:4, from mremap04.c:71: /usr/include/asm/mman.h:28: warning: `MADV_NORMAL' redefined /usr/include/bits/mman.h:79: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/include/asm/mman.h:29: warning: `MADV_RANDOM' redefined /usr/include/bits/mman.h:80: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/include/asm/mman.h:30: warning: `MADV_SEQUENTIAL' redefined /usr/include/bits/mman.h:81: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/include/asm/mman.h:31: warning: `MADV_WILLNEED' redefined /usr/include/bits/mman.h:82: warning: this is the location of the previous definition /usr/include/asm/mman.h:32: warning: `MADV_DONTNEED' redefined /usr/include/bits/mman.h:83: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
