the loss of a page modified (PG_M) bit in a race between processors.
Quoting Tor:
One scenario where the old code could cause a lost PG_M bit is a
multithreaded linux program (or FreeBSD program using the
linuxthreads port) where one thread was starting a subprocess.
The thread doing fork() would call vmspace_fork(), which would then
call vm_map_copy_entry() which would call pmap_protect() on an area
possibly accessed by other threads.
Additionally, make the clearing of PG_M by pmap_protect() unconditional if
write permission is removed. Previously, PG_M could persist on a read-only
unmanaged page. That seems inconsistent and confusing.

contain O_UID, O_GID and O_JAIL opcodes, the F_NOT or F_OR logical
operator bits get clobbered. Making it impossible to use the ``NOT'' or
``OR'' operators with uid, gid and jail based constraints.
The ipfw_insn instruction template contains a ``len'' element which
stores two pieces of information, the size of the instruction
(in 32-bit words) in the low 6 bits of "len" with the 2 remaining
bits to implement OR and NOT.
The current code clobbers the OR and NOT bits by initializing the
``len'' element to the size, rather than OR'ing the bits. This change
fixes this by changing the initialization of cmd->len to an OR operation
for the O_UID, O_GID and O_JAIL opcodes.
This may be a MFC candidate for RELENG_5.

to end up in ip->ip_len in tcp_input.c, but here we should get it from the
len function variable instead.
