Linux exposes an
mremap
function that is not available on other OSes, that allows us to remap an address space, providing a more efficient way to increase the size of an mmap file. This PR allows Linux systems to use themremap
call, while other OSes continue to usemunmap
followed bymmap
.sys
does not provide anmremap
function, so this had to handwritten using a system call. Unfortunately, the functions provided bysys
forMmap
/Munmap
maintain a list of active mappings, and do not allow us toMunmap
anything that is not present in the list. Since our handwrittenmremap
call cannot update that internal list, we must reimplement themunmap
system call as well.This change is
