Subject: [PATCH] Wasm support patch 1 (support systems without mmap)
I'm hoping the first patch is uncontroversial.
WebAssembly has a linear/flat memory model, whereby it's simply impossible for the addressable memory to contain "holes". Therefore, mmap can't really be emulated, and all memory has to be allocated via brk.
I've done this by allowing malloc to fall back to brk (even for allocations above MMAP_THRESHOLD) if mmap returns ENOSYS.
It's one line of code that will do harm in "normal" systems, and allows platforms that are emulating syscalls to choose not to support mmap, and still get a working malloc if brk is working.
All the best,
Nick
