First, curproc->p_sysent->sv_stackprot specifies maximum allowed stack

the PROT_ flags should be used which were specified at the mmap(2) call
time, and not sv_stackprot.

There are two aspects to the sequential access optimization: (1) read ahead
of pages that are expected to be accessed in the near future and (2) unmap
and cache behind of pages that are not expected to be accessed again. This
revision changes both aspects.
The read ahead optimization is now more effective. It starts with the same
initial read window as before, but arithmetically grows the window on
sequential page faults. This can yield increased read bandwidth. For
example, on one of my machines, a program using mmap() to read a file that
is several times larger than the machine's physical memory takes about 17%
less time to complete.
The unmap and cache behind optimization is now more selectively applied.
The read ahead window must grow to its maximum size before unmap and cache
behind is performed. This significantly reduces the number of times that
pages are unmapped and cached only to be reactivated a short time later.
The unmap and cache behind optimization now clears each page's referenced
flag. Previously, in the case of dirty pages, if the containing file was
still mapped at the time that the page daemon examined the dirty pages,
they would be reactivated.
From a stylistic standpoint, this revision also cleanly separates the
implementation of the read ahead and unmap/cache behind optimizations.

When access restrictions are added to a page table entry, we flush the
corresponding virtual address mapping from the TLB. In contrast, when
access restrictions are removed from a page table entry, we do not
flush the virtual address mapping from the TLB. This is exactly as
recommended in AMD's documentation. In effect, when access
restrictions are removed from a page table entry, AMD's MMUs will
transparently refresh a stale TLB entry. In short, this saves us from
having to perform potentially costly TLB flushes. In contrast,
Intel's MMUs are allowed to generate a spurious page fault based upon
the stale TLB entry. Usually, such spurious page faults are handled
by vm_fault() without incident. However, when we are executing
no-fault sections of the kernel, we are not allowed to execute
vm_fault(). This change introduces special-case handling for spurious
page faults that occur in no-fault sections of the kernel.

Writeable shared vnode-backed mappings are accounted for in vm_mmap(),
