this doesn't sound necessary. The CPU would be wrong if it moved such a store below whatever the kernel is doing

yeah this seems dubious and unneeded.

can you name "true" here?

I was thinking that, but wanted to be get 2nd opinions to be doubly sure.  Will remove.

Sure.  I'll use an enum with descriptive names like AllowPermissionChangesAfterThis and DisallowPermissionChangesAfterThis.

you should explain what this is for DARWIN

let's name "false" here

also is unneeded. Is is not expected that multiple threads can call this at the same time, right?

Thanks for the review.

Will do.

>> +    result = vm_protect(mach_task_self(), reinterpret_cast<vm_address_t>(&g_gigacageConfig), configSizeToProtect, false, VM_PROT_READ);

Done.

Removed.  It's expected that only the main thread should call forbidDisablingPrimitiveGigacage() (and therefore, permanentlyFreezeGigacageConfig()).  We're not expecting other threads to call this.

I am getting a lot of crashes running the layout tests:
Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes:       KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000000bbadbeef
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Termination Signal:    Segmentation fault: 11
Termination Reason:    Namespace SIGNAL, Code 0xb
Terminating Process:   exc handler [9131]

Application Specific Information:
This process is running with libgmalloc.dylib (GuardMalloc) which may have forced the crash due to a memory access error.

Unfortunately, EWS does not run WK2 debug.
