pmap_ts_referenced() is not always appropriate for checking whether or
not pages have been referenced because it clears any reference bits
that it encounters. For example, in mincore(), clearing the reference
bits has two negative consequences. First, it throws off the activity
count calculations performed by the page daemon. Specifically, a page
on which mincore() has called pmap_ts_referenced() looks less active
to the page daemon than it should. Consequently, the page could be
deactivated prematurely by the page daemon. Arguably, this problem
could be fixed by having mincore() duplicate the activity count
calculation on the page. However, there is a second problem for which
that is not a solution. In order to clear a reference on a 4KB page,
it may be necessary to demote a 2/4MB page mapping. Thus, a mincore()
by one process can have the side effect of demoting a superpage
mapping within another process!
This is done to make it harder to exploit kernel NULL pointer security
vulnerabilities. While this of course does not fix vulnerabilities,
it does mitigate their impact.
Note that this may break some applications, most likely emulators or
similar, which for one reason or another require mapping memory at
zero.
This restriction can be disabled with the security.bsd.mmap_zero
sysctl variable.

rlimit RLIMIT_SWAP that limits the amount of swap that may be reserved
for the uid.
The accounting information (charge) is associated with either map entry,
or vm object backing the entry, assuming the object is the first one
in the shadow chain and entry does not require COW. Charge is moved
from entry to object on allocation of the object, e.g. during the mmap,
assuming the object is allocated, or on the first page fault on the
entry. It moves back to the entry on forks due to COW setup.
The per-entry granularity of accounting makes the charge process fair
for processes that change uid during lifetime, and decrements charge
for proper uid when region is unmapped.
The interface of vm_pager_allocate(9) is extended by adding struct ucred *,
that is used to charge appropriate uid when allocation if performed by
kernel, e.g. md(4).

device drivers to use arbitrary VM objects to satisfy individual mmap()
requests.
- A new d_mmap_single(cdev, &foff, objsize, &object, prot) callback is
added to cdevsw. This function is called for each mmap() request.
If it returns ENODEV, then the mmap() request will fall back to using
the device's device pager object and d_mmap(). Otherwise, the method
can return a VM object to satisfy this entire mmap() request via
*object. It can also modify the starting offset into this object via
*foff. This allows device drivers to use the file offset as a cookie
to identify specific VM objects.
- vm_mmap_vnode() has been changed to call vm_mmap_cdev() directly when
mapping V_CHR vnodes. This avoids duplicating all the cdev mmap
handling code and simplifies some of vm_mmap_vnode().

VM_PROT_READ_IS_EXEC was only intended for use on processors that do not
distinguish between read and execute permission. On an mmap(2) or
mprotect(2), it automatically added execute permission if the caller
specified permissions included read permission. The hope was that this
would reduce the number of vm map entries needed to implement an address
space because there would be fewer neighboring vm map entries that differed
only in the presence or absence of VM_PROT_EXECUTE. (See vm/vm_mmap.c

superpage-aligned virtual address for the mapping. Revision 1.65
implemented an overly simplistic and generally ineffectual method for
finding a superpage-aligned virtual address. Specifically, it rounds
the virtual address corresponding to the end of the data segment up to
the next superpage-aligned virtual address. If this virtual address
is unallocated, then the device will be mapped using superpages.
Unfortunately, in modern times, where applications like the X server
dynamically load much of their code, this virtual address is already
allocated. In such cases, mmap(2) simply uses the first available
virtual address, which is not necessarily superpage aligned.

implement shm_open(2) and shm_unlink(2) in the kernel:
- Each shared memory file descriptor is associated with a swap-backed vm
object which provides the backing store. Each descriptor starts off with
a size of zero, but the size can be altered via ftruncate(2). The shared
memory file descriptors also support fstat(2). read(2), write(2),
ioctl(2), select(2), poll(2), and kevent(2) are not supported on shared
memory file descriptors.
- shm_open(2) and shm_unlink(2) are now implemented as system calls that
manage shared memory file descriptors. The virtual namespace that maps
pathnames to shared memory file descriptors is implemented as a hash
table where the hash key is generated via the 32-bit Fowler/Noll/Vo hash
of the pathname.
- As an extension, the constant 'SHM_ANON' may be specified in place of the
path argument to shm_open(2). In this case, an unnamed shared memory
file descriptor will be created similar to the IPC_PRIVATE key for
shmget(2). Note that the shared memory object can still be shared among
processes by sharing the file descriptor via fork(2) or sendmsg(2), but
it is unnamed. This effectively serves to implement the getmemfd() idea
bandied about the lists several times over the years.
- The backing store for shared memory file descriptors are garbage
collected when they are not referenced by any open file descriptors or
the shm_open(2) virtual namespace.
