[PATCH] Virtual Memory Limits

[dnietoc]

From: Diego Nieto Cid <dnietoc@gmail.com>

Hello,

These are all the patches in the series of virtual memory limits
support, through the POSIX setrlimit's RLIMIT_AS resource. It
encompasses changes to gnumach, hurd and glibc.

I tested the glibc part using a simple program that sets a limit
of 1GB and then tries to mmap a bigger chunk of memory. It was run
using the script provided by the library, testrun.sh.

The gnumach part has it's own test in the kernel test suite.

What I couldn't test is the Hurd patch, particularly the translators
like ext2fs which must be started with settrans and I didn't find a
way to use the patched glibc. (I'm not sure how to use testrun.sh
from glibc in a settrans call)

Any comments appreciated :)
Thanks,
Diego
