[Bug testsuite/4088] New: syscall.mmap test is using create() but tests for open()

[dwilder at us dot ibm dot com]

The mmap test in testsuite/systemtap.syscall is using creat() but is testing for
the open() syscall.

From mmap.c
.
.
/* create a file with something in it */
 fd = creat("foobar",S_IREAD|S_IWRITE);
 // open ("foobar", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0600) = 4
.
.

This works on i386 I think because glibc just calls open().   On s390 this is
not the case, sys_creat is really called.  
The compiler has optimized sys_creat so that sys_open() has been inlined.  So
you never see the call to sys_open.

Running the test:  test.tcl mmap  produces:
<...>
mmap: mprotect (0x0000020000187000, 12288, PROT_READ) = 0
mmap: mprotect (0x000002000001d000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0
mmap: munmap (0x0000020000020000, 63065) = 0
mmap: creat ("foobar", O_RDONLY, 0600) = 4       <<<  not what is expected
mmap: lseek (4, 1024, SEEK_SET) = 1024
mmap: write (4, "abcdef", 6) = 6
mmap: close (4) = 0
<....>

Can the test be changed to just use open() not creat().  This way it should run
on all platforms.

Same problem seen while testing of 20070414 snapshot on ppc64 using 2.6.21-rc7
kernel.
