The kernel does not require PROT_READ for addresses passed to mincore.
For example the fincore(1) tool from util-linux uses PROT_NONE and
currently does not work under qemu-user.
Example (with fincore(1) from util-linux 2.38):
$ fincore /proc/self/exe
RES PAGES SIZE FILE
24K 6 22.1K /proc/self/exe
$ qemu-x86_64 /usr/bin/fincore /proc/self/exe
fincore: failed to do mincore: /proc/self/exe: Cannot allocate memory
With this patch:
$ ./build/qemu-x86_64 /usr/bin/fincore /proc/self/exe
RES PAGES SIZE FILE
24K 6 22.1K /proc/self/exe
