Linux already gained the relevant syscalls and consts in ziglang#24473 The basic mlock() and munlock() are fairly universal across the *nix world with a consistent interface, but are missing on wasi and windows. The mlockall() and munlockall() calls are not as widely supported as the basic ones. Notable non-implementers include darwin, haiku, and serenity (and of course wasi and windows again). mlock2() is Linux-only, as are its MLOCK flags.
