Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] mseal: Two fixes for madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) when sealed

From: Jeff Xu <jeffxu@...omium.org>

Two fixes for madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) when sealed.

For PROT_NONE mappings, the previous blocking of
madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) is unnecessary. As PROT_NONE already prohibits
memory access, madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) should be allowed to proceed in
order to free the page.

For file-backed, private, read-only memory mappings, we previously did
not block the madvise(MADV_DONTNEED). This was based on
the assumption that the memory's content, being file-backed, could be
retrieved from the file if accessed again. However, this assumption
failed to consider scenarios where a mapping is initially created as
read-write, modified, and subsequently changed to read-only. The newly
introduced VM_WASWRITE flag addresses this oversight.
