If we wanted to be fancy and add a potentially more widely useful syscall, how about: mmap_special(void *addr, size_t length, int prot, int flags, int type); Where type is something like MMAP_SPECIAL_X86_SHSTK. Fundamentally, this is really just mmap() except that we want to map something a bit magical, and we don't want to require opening a device node to do it. --Andy
