Modified Files:
src/sys/uvm: files.uvm uvm_map.c
Log Message:
Disable mapping of virtual address 0 by user programs per default.
This blocks an easy exploit of kernel bugs leading to dereference
of a NULL pointer on some architectures (eg i386).
The check can be disabled in various ways:
-by CPP definitions in machine/types.h (portmaster's choice)
-by a kernel config option USER_VA0_DISABLED_DEFAULT=0
-at runtime by sysctl vm.user_va0_disabled (cannot be cleared
at securelevel>0)
