Modified Files: src/sys/arch/amd64/include: vmparam.h src/sys/arch/i386/include: vmparam.h Log Message: Put a one-page redzone between userland and the PTE space on amd64 and i386. The PTE space is a critical region that maps the page tree, and bugs have been found in both amd64 and i386 where the kernel would wrongly overflow userland data on this area. This kind of bug is terrible, since it allows userland to overwrite some entries of the page tree, which makes it easy to patch the kernel text and get ring0 privileges.
