With this kernel mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE) returns -EFAULT if called
by root (unconditionally, it seems) on x86_64.

On my box the output of:

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main()
{
	int ret;

	ret = mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE);
	if (ret < 0)
		printf("%s\n", strerror(errno));

	return 0;
}

is "Bad address", if run by root.

Greetings,
Rafael
