32 /* The right way to map in the shared library files is MAP_COPY, which
33 makes a virtual copy of the data at the time of the mmap call; this
34 guarantees the mapped pages will be consistent even if the file is
35 overwritten. Some losing VM systems like Linux's lack MAP_COPY. All we
36 get is MAP_PRIVATE, which copies each page when it is modified; this
37 means if the file is overwritten, we may at some point get some pages
38 from the new version after starting with pages from the old version.
40 To make up for the lack and avoid the overwriting problem,
41 what Linux does have is MAP_DENYWRITE. This prevents anyone
42 from modifying the file while we have it mapped. */
