runtime: optimize permission changes with mprotect
On Linux, both mprotect() and mmap() acquire the mmap_lock (in writer mode),
posing scalability challenges.
The mmap_lock (formerly called mmap_sem) is a reader/writer lock that controls
access to a process's address space; before making changes there (mapping in a
new range, for example), the kernel must acquire that lock.
Page-fault handling must also acquire mmap_lock (in reader mode) to ensure that
the address space doesn't change in surprising ways while a fault is being resolved.
A process can have a large address space and many threads running (and incurring
page faults) concurrently, turning mmap_lock into a significant bottleneck.
While both mmap() and mprotect() are protected by the mmap_lock, the shorter
duration of mprotect system call, due to their simpler nature, results in a reduced
locking time for the mmap_lock.
