Summary

In the most common case (fork+execve) this doesn't matter, but further
attempts to apply entropy would fail in (e.g.) a pre-fork server.

Reported by: Alfredo Mazzinghi

Test Plan

A variant of this patch preserving an additional local flag
works in CheriBSD.

() are excessive.
Also I suggest to move the line right after new_map assignment (line 4098), no need for blank lines around.

It is single-use symbol, it is easier to read code when flags are listed explicitly in vmspace_fork().

  • Relocate flags assignment and don't use a variable.
