Subject: [PATCH v3 for-6.0 2/2] tcg: Workaround macOS 11.2 mprotect bug
Date: Sat, 20 Mar 2021 10:57:20 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210320165720.1813545-3-richard.henderson@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210320165720.1813545-1-richard.henderson@linaro.org>

There's a change in mprotect() behaviour [1] in the latest macOS
on M1 and it's not yet clear if it's going to be fixed by Apple.

As a short-term fix, ignore failures setting up the guard pages.
