[ST-devel] OpenBSD 6.4: MAP_STACK

[Claus A. <sta...@es...>]

OpenBSD 6.4 introduced a new flag for mmap(2):

    * Implemented MAP_STACK option for mmap(2). At pagefaults and
      syscalls the kernel will check that the stack pointer points
      to MAP_STACK memory, which mitigates against attacks using
      stack pivots.

so this needs to be set:
