JVM cant map reserved memory when running in Docker container
I cant seem to run java at all in a Docker container on my server. Even when issuing java -version, I get the following error.
root@86088d679103:/# java -version
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x0000035ce1000000, 2555904, 1) failed; error='Operation not permitted' (errno=1)
#
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (mmap) failed to map 2555904 bytes for committing reserved memory.
# An error report file with more information is saved as:
# //hs_err_pid17.log
According to this, java can't map 2.5Mb of space for reserved memory? This does not seem right...
I have the full log included at the end, but for the sake of some extra information, my system is reporting the following:
root@86088d679103:/# uname -m
x86_64
root@86088d679103:/# free -mh

Mem: 15G 9.7G 5.8G 912K 148M 8.9G
-/+ buffers/cache: 639M 14G
Swap: 15G 0B 15G
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Update
@Yobert nailed the problem and I highly suggest you read through the comments and chat log. Good info in there.
For those who want the final command that made Java work: setfattr -n user.pax.flags -v "mr" /usr/bin/java
If your distro does not have setfattr installed by default it should be included in the installable package attr through paceman, apt-get, etc.
Answer
I had this same problem when using a Grsec enabled kernel. For java to play nice, I had to disable MPROTECT on the java binary. You can use the paxctl utility for this:
paxctl -m /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/bin/java
You'll need to do paxctl -c on the binary first if you've never used it on that binary before:
paxctl -c /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk/jre/bin/java
More information about paxctl can be found at: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Grsecurity/Additional_Utilities
