OSAllocatorPosix::tryReserveUncommittedAligned() should not use PROT_NONE on non-linux platforms. Only on linux PROT_NONE is used for deccommitted pages. That is, protection flags are set on commit() only on Linux. https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/9067a50/Source/WTF/wtf/posix/OSAllocatorPOSIX.cpp#L228 However in tryReserveUncommittedAligned() PROT_NONE is used for platforms other than #if PLATFORM(MAC) || USE(APPLE_INTERNAL_SDK), which may result in protection faults because appropriate flags won't be set on commit().

Linux implementation is so much depends on Linux memory management way and very different from other port.
