Make futexes work under NOMMU conditions.

This can be tested by running this in one shell:

#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)

int main()
{
int shmid, tmp, *f, n;

shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");

f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(f, "shmat");

n = *f;
printf("WAIT: %p{%x}\n", f, n);
tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAIT, n, NULL, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
printf("WAITED: %d\n", tmp);

tmp = shmdt(f);
SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");

exit(0);
}

And then this in the other shell:

#define SYSERROR(X, Y) \
do { if ((long)(X) == -1L) { perror(Y); exit(1); }} while(0)

int main()
{
int shmid, tmp, *f;

shmid = shmget(23, 4, IPC_CREAT|0666);
SYSERROR(shmid, "shmget");

f = shmat(shmid, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(f, "shmat");

(*f)++;
printf("WAKE: %p{%x}\n", f, *f);
tmp = futex(f, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
SYSERROR(tmp, "futex");
printf("WOKE: %d\n", tmp);

tmp = shmdt(f);
SYSERROR(tmp, "shmdt");

exit(0);
}

The first program will set up a SYSV IPC SHM segment and wait on a futex in it
for the number at the start to change. The program will increment that number
and wake the first program up. This leads to output of the form:

SHELL 1 SHELL 2
======================= =======================
# /dowait
WAIT: 0xc32ac000{0}
# /dowake
WAKE: 0xc32ac000{1}
WAITED: 0 WOKE: 1
