Title:
  stress-ng mmap failing on zVM and LPAR

Status in stress-ng package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in stress-ng source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [SRU, Xenial]

  When running stress-ng on zVM and LPAR we are hitting SIGBUS errors
  because we have a sparsely allocated mmap'd backing file which due to
  over commit and a full file system causes pages not to be mapped in
  and causes memory accesses on unbacked pages to trigger a SIGBUS.

  [REPRODUCER + FIX]
  Run stress-ng --mmap 64 --maximize on a filesystem that is very nearly full and the SIGBUS triggers and the stressor exits early with SIGBUS.  With the fix, the SIGBUS is caught and the stressor can continue without premature early exit.

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
  I am requesting syncing with 0.05.24 micro release as this contains the fix plus a few SIGSEGV stack trapping fixes.  stress-ng is a universe leaf project and the fixes touch just a few of the stress tests. These have been regression checked on various architectures and the code passes static analysis on cppcheck, CoverityScan and clang's scan-build, so regression potential is minimal.


  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Running stress-ng on s390 in all three modes.  This seems to work ok
  in z/KVM, however, on zVM and LPAR as of a few days ago on Xenial the
  mmap stressor has started failing.

  I tried to get detailed logs but either don't know the correct
  switches or they simply aren't there.

  Here is the output when I used --log-file and --verbose on an LPAR:
  root@s1lp10-jefflane:~# less stress-ng-mmap-fail.log

  stress-ng: info:  [179421] unsuccessful run completed in 300.68s (5 mins, 0.68 secs)

  That is the only info I have for the failure, unfortunately.
