commit d922762ca16a7381131b242f49d7376c41fabcb5
Author: Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org>
Date:   Tue Aug 20 13:55:30 2024 +1000

    private key coredump protection for Linux/FreeBSD
    
    platforms not supporting coredump exclusion using mmap/madvise flags
    fall back to plain old malloc(3).

commit cc048ca536d6bed6f2285b07040b0d57cd559ba5
Author: djm at openbsd.org <djm at openbsd.org>
Date:   Tue Aug 20 03:48:30 2024 +0000

    upstream: place shielded keys (i.e. keys at rest in RAM) into memory
    
    allocated using mmap(3) with MAP_CONCEAL set. This prevents exposure of the
    key material in coredumps, etc (this is in addition to other measures we take
    in this area).
