22 | /* The Linux kernel overcommits address space by default and if there is not |
23 | enough memory available, it uses various parameters to decide the process to |
24 | kill. It is however possible to disable or curb this overcommit behavior |
25 | by setting the proc sysctl vm.overcommit_memory to the value '2' and with |
26 | that, a process is only allowed to use the maximum of a pre-determined |
27 | fraction of the total address space. In such a case, we want to make sure |
28 | that we are judicious with our heap usage as well, and explicitly give away |
29 | the freed top of the heap to reduce our commit charge. See the proc(5) man |
30 | page to know more about overcommit behavior. |
31 | |
32 | Other than that, we also force an unmap in a secure exec. */ |
