Both of these calls completed successfully when executed as root, as does
my own code. This code also has the same behavior on -CURRENT as 4.1.1-STABLE.
I'm not sure what I was observing last week.
Interestingly, I discovered that by replacing NULL as an argument to
kvm_open with "/dev/null" (a prompt I took from top in -CURRENT) this
code works for users other than root. I don't understand what the difference
in semantics between using /dev/null as a exec/core/swap file and using
a NULL pointer is, but the former seems to work.
Thanks,
