    Use PAGE_NOACCESS for guard pages in Windows. · 24a0cabd
    bmeurer@chromium.org authored
    Up until now we used PAGE_GUARD for guard pages in Windows, which
    will raise a STATUS_GUARD_PAGE_VIOLATION exception on first access
    and grant regular access afterwards. This behavior is required to
    implement automatic stack checking, or more generally to implement
    applications that monitor the growth of large dynamic data structures.
    
    However, this is not what we want for our guard pages, which are
    used as a security mechanism. What we really want is PAGE_NOACCESS
    here, which is the Windows-equivalent of PROT_NONE that we use on
    all other platforms.
