Author: cem Date: Fri Oct 30 19:02:59 2020 New Revision: 367182 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/367182 Log: linux(4): Quiesce warning about madvise(..., -1) This API misuse is intended to produce an error value to detect certain bogus stub implementations of MADV_WIPEONFORK. We don't need to log a warning about it.
