Bug 338995

This seems like a new variant of shmat-related bug reports on valgrind.
I tested with valgrind 3.9.0 and 3.8.1. Both cause EINVAL error if a user code calls shmat with SHM_HUGETLB parameter to use hugepages.

If the user code doesn't have SHM_HUGETLB option or runs it without valgrind, it goes fine.

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  int shmid = ::shmget(
    ::getpid(),
    1ULL << 21,
    // IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL | S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR);  // <-- this works fine
    IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL | S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | SHM_HUGETLB);  // <-- This causes EINVAL
  if (shmid == -1) {
    std::cerr << "shmget failed!"
      << "[Errno " << errno << "] " << std::strerror(errno) << std::endl;
    return 1;
  } else {
    std::cout << "shmget() ok" << std::endl;
  }

  void* block = ::shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
  if (block == ((void*) -1)) {
    std::cerr << "shmat failed!"
      << "[Errno " << errno << "] " << std::strerror(errno) << std::endl;
    ::shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, NULL);
    return 1;
  } else {
    std::cout << "shmat() ok" << std::endl;
  }
  ::shmdt(block);
  ::shmctl(shmid, IPC_RMID, NULL);
  return 0;
}

My environment is Fedora 19, x86_64.

Reproducible: Always
