For executable regions it would require MAP_FIXED|MAP_JIT, so instead madvise(MADV_FREE)+mprotect(PROT_NONE) are used. They should also allow OS to reclaim pages, but apparently this does not happen immediately. In practice, it should not be a problem for executable regions, as codecache does not shrink (if I haven't missed anything, by the implementation and in principle).
