    Implement address space guards. · 19bd0d9c
    Konstantin Belousov authored
    Guard, requested by the MAP_GUARD mmap(2) flag, prevents the reuse of
    the allocated address space, but does not allow instantiation of the
    pages in the range.  It is useful for more explicit support for usual
    two-stage reserve then commit allocators, since it prevents accidental
    instantiation of the mapping, e.g. by mprotect(2).
    
    Use guards to reimplement stack grow code.  Explicitely track stack
    grow area with the guard, including the stack guard page.  On stack
    grow, trivial shift of the guard map entry and stack map entry limits
    makes the stack expansion.  Move the code to detect stack grow and
    call vm_map_growstack(), from vm_fault() into vm_map_lookup().
    
    As result, it is impossible to get random mapping to occur in the
    stack grow area, or to overlap the stack guard page.
    
    Enable stack guard page by default.
