[RFC PATCH v3 05/11] tools/testing/selftests: add sys_mremap() helper to vm_util.h

From: Lorenzo Stoakes
Date: Sat May 03 2025 - 17:15:05 EST


Add a helper to invoke the mremap() system call directly using
syscall(). This is useful as otherwise glibc and friends will filter out
newer flags like MREMAP_RELOCATE_ANON and MREMAP_MUST_RELOCATE_ANON thus
making it impossible to test this functionality.
