New Revision: 218497
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/218497

Log:
  Linux' shm_open() fails because it wants to find some funky shmfs
  to construct the full pathname. It starts to search at the default
  mountpoint which is /dev/shm. If this fails it runs through fstab
  and searches for shmfs and tmpfs. Whatever it finds will be
  statfs()'ed to be checked for Linux' fs magic for shmfs (0x01021994).
  
  Ideally our tmpfs should deliver this fs magic to Linux processes, but
  as our tmpfs is considered to be an experimental feature we can not
  assume that there is always a tmpfs available.
  
  To make shared memory work in the Linuxulator, force the fs type of
  /dev/shm (which can be a symlink) to match what Linux expects. The user
  is responsible (info has to be added to the linux base ports and the docs)
  to setup a suitable link for /dev/shm.
