Bug #: 31892
           Summary: Handle failure to reserve NT shared user data at
                    0x7ffe0000 (Windows on ARM)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.14
          Platform: arm
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ntdll
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org
        ReportedBy: focht@gmx.net
    Classification: Unclassified
Hello,
I recently resumed some investigations with Windows on ARM apps/installers and
ran into a problem due to a kernel 3.2 -> 3.0 downgrade.
The kernel downgrade was necessary because Freescale left Linaro some months
ago, stalling/halting all Linaro projects targeting i.mx platforms (the last
kernels were still buggy as hell anyway).
Back to a Linux 3.0.x kernel now which is being actively developed/maintained
within Freescale.
Unfortunately all wine builtins simply segfault on startup.
The code that fails:
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob/6ec731b65cb6525d04b86737ff85a3e77...
--- snip ---
 196 HANDLE thread_init(void)
 197 {
 198     TEB *teb;
 199     void *addr;
 200     SIZE_T size, info_size;
 201     HANDLE exe_file = 0;
 202     LARGE_INTEGER now;
 203     struct ntdll_thread_data *thread_data;
 204     static struct debug_info debug_info;  /* debug info for initial thread
*/
 205 
 206     virtual_init();
 207 
 208     /* reserve space for shared user data */
 209 
 210     addr = (void *)0x7ffe0000;
 211     size = 0x10000;
 212     NtAllocateVirtualMemory( NtCurrentProcess(), &addr, 0, &size,
MEM_RESERVE|MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_READWRITE );
 213     user_shared_data = addr;
...
 293     /* initialize time values in user_shared_data */
 294     NtQuerySystemTime( &now );
 295     user_shared_data->SystemTime.LowPart = now.u.LowPart;
--- snip ---
NtAllocateVirtualMemory() fails to reserve that range but no return value
evaluation takes place hence the initial start address value is still taken.
Dereferencing of "user_shared_data" (USER_SHARED_DATA) causes the segfault.
Before the syscall:

--- snip ---
(TASK_SIZE = 0x7F000000) -> arch_get_unmapped_area() will not accept address
0x7ffe0000.
I worked around by moving to a 3GiB/1GiB user/kernel virtual memory split ->
CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0xC0000000.
Anyway the reservation failure should be handled gracefully by either refusing
to run (at least on x86 platforms) or accept a new address range.
I don't know if USER_SHARED_DATA at 0x7ffe0000 exists/makes sense for Windows
on ARM platforms.
One has yet to see a real WoA system...
