bsd: Add missing minherit system call

[oherrala]

Description

Add a missing minherit() system call and constants related to it.

minherit(2) from macOS describes this call as:

The minherit() system call changes the specified pages to have the inheritance characteristic inherit, which can be set to VM_INHERIT_NONE, VM_INHERIT_COPY, or VM_INHERIT_SHARE. Not all implementations will guarantee that the inheritance characteristic can be set on a page basis; the granularity of changes may be as large as an entire region.

The arm-linux-androidabi test failed maybe because "The job has exceeded the maximum execution time of 25m0s".

Would you be able to use mach2 instead? https://docs.rs/mach2/latest/mach2/vm_inherit/index.html. We're tryig to transition away from binding platform API like mach/ and linux/.

@tgross35 FWIW minherit is not macOS specific. It originates from OpenBSD and is also in FreeBSD, NetBSD and DragonFly:

• https://man.openbsd.org/minherit
• https://man.netbsd.org/minherit.2
• https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=minherit
• https://man.bsd.lv/DragonFly-5.6.1/minherit.2

[tgross35]

Thanks for the links. In that case I think it’s fine here, but would you mind enabling it for those other platforms as well? At least FreeBSD and NetBSD get CI here.

[tgross35]

The non-Apple BSDs seem to use MAP_ as the prefix rather than VM_. I think you'll need to add those constants and update these files.

[oherrala]

+1 here, could you move these to the separate files? It's fine that SHARE/COPY/NONE will be duplicated.

@tgross35 this is now done.

[tgross35]

It looks like you have both versions here, causing the CI failure

(comment @rustbot ready once CI is working again to relabel for review)

CI seems to break on unrelated issues. I can't trigger re-run.

This PR was rebased onto a different main commit. Here's a range-diff highlighting what actually changed.

Rebasing is a normal part of keeping PRs up to date, so no action is needed—this note is just to help reviewers.

Thank you!
