non random mmap

[Basile STARYNKEVITCH <basile@starynkevitch.net>]

Dear All,

I have an AMD64x2 4400 using Debian/Sid/AMD64 
I have a self built  2.6.16.18 kernel.

I want to have the mmap system call behaving predictably and in a
reproducable manner (because I am debugging a copying garbage collector).

Here is a simple test program
################################################################

// file testmmap.c
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  int kilob = 64;
  void *p;
  if (argc > 1)
    kilob = atoi (argv[1]);
  p =
    mmap ((void *) 0, (size_t) (kilob << 10), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
          MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, (int) -1, (off_t) 0);
  if (p == MAP_FAILED)
    {
      perror ("mmap");
      exit (1);
    };
  printf ("got %d kilobytes at %p - %p\n", kilob, p,
          (char *) p + (kilob << 10));
  return 0;
}
/// eof testmmap.c
################################################################
I am compiling it with
  gcc -W -O testmmap.c -o testmmap
  chpax -rx ./testmmap
but this does not help, the mmapped area has still a random address

glinka ~/tmp 19:03 % ./testmmap
got 64 kilobytes at 0x2aef52951000 - 0x2aef52961000
glinka ~/tmp 19:07 % ./testmmap
got 64 kilobytes at 0x2ba6e78c5000 - 0x2ba6e78d5000
glinka ~/tmp 19:07 % ./testmmap
got 64 kilobytes at 0x2b6fe1edf000 - 0x2b6fe1eef000

What did I forget to do? 

Is there some sysctl or kernel config to do?

(I googled for RANDMMAP without clues)

Regards
