Phase 3: Remove mincore() syscall completely
Problem: - mincore() was already disabled by default (DISABLE_MINCORE=1) - Phase 1b/2 registry-based validation made mincore obsolete - Dead code (~60 lines) remained with complex #ifdef guards Solution: Complete removal of mincore() syscall and related infrastructure: 1. Makefile: - Removed DISABLE_MINCORE configuration (lines 167-177) - Added Phase 3 comment documenting removal rationale 2. core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h: - Removed ~60 lines of mincore logic with TLS page cache - Simplified to: int is_mapped = 1; - Added comprehensive history comment 3. core/box/external_guard_box.h: - Simplified external_guard_is_mapped() from 20 lines to 4 lines - Always returns 1 (assume mapped) - Added Phase 3 comment Safety: Trust internal metadata for all validation: - SuperSlab registry: validates Tiny allocations (Phase 1b/2) - AllocHeader: validates Mid/Large allocations - FrontGate classifier: routes external allocations Testing: ✓ Build: Clean compilation (no warnings) ✓ Stability: 100/100 test iterations passed (0% crash rate) ✓ Performance: No regression (mincore already disabled) History: - Phase 9: Used mincore() for safety - 2025-11-14: Added DISABLE_MINCORE flag (+10.3% perf improvement) - Phase 1b/2: Registry-based validation (0% crash rate) - Phase 3: Dead code cleanup (this commit) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
