With the MREMAP_FIXED flag used by the test,
the text region, which fell in the range of the remap
region, got unmapped. This caused a segfault when
trying to fetch the next instruction after the mremap()
call.

Yes, with the MREMAP_FIXED flag that the test uses, any previous
mapping in the address range of the remap region gets unmapped.
Yes, fixing this issue by calling mmap() with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE
flag and checking for EEXIST.

That is covered by the check if (addr > ULLONG_MAX - region size)
in the remap_region_valid() function.

Because this function is called in a loop in remap_region() and addr is
being
incremented continuously, we could enter this function with addr high
enough that
another increment would cause overflow.

What this means is we could see lots of these messages that just say
"Can't find" without any other information such as the "addr"?
We probably don't want this message printed in a loop and print from
caller after the while loop ends without finding valid mapping.
