cgo_mmap.go:mmap() is called by mem_linux.go:sysAlloc(), a low-level memory
allocation function. mmap() should be nosplit, since it is called in a lot of
low-level parts of the runtime and callers often assume it won't acquire any
locks.
As an example there is a potential deadlock involving two threads if mmap is not nosplit:
trace.bufLock acquired, then stackpool[order].item.mu, then mheap_.lock
- can happen for traceEvents that are not invoked on the system stack and cause
a traceFlush, which causes a sysAlloc, which calls mmap(), which may cause a
stack split. mheap_.lock
mheap_.lock acquired, then trace.bufLock
- can happen when doing a trace in reclaimChunk (which holds the mheap_ lock)
Also, sysAlloc() has a comment that it is nosplit because it may be invoked
without a valid G, in which case its callee mmap() should also be nosplit.
Similarly, sys_darwin.go:mmap() is called by mem_darwin.go:sysAlloc(), and should
be nosplit for the same reasons.
