kernel - Fix mtime for deferred writes from mmap R+W
* When a program modifies a file via a shared R+W mmap and does not
msync() it, the pages do not get synchronized to the filesystem until
potentially up to 30 seconds later. Our filesystems then record a
mtime as-of when that synchronization occurs rather than when the
modification was made to the pages.
* We cannot easily determine when the modification was made, but we do
track close()'s on file pointers that were opened writable. So what
we do is record the timestamp as of the last close() of a file pointer
that was opened for writing. Then later on we pages are synchronizded,
we use this timestamp for any mtime update. It isn't perfect, but its
better than it was before.
* This is not a perfect fix. The mtime really needs to be updated at the
time of the close() in this situation as well, but it will fix 'make'
related issues for files that are modified with mmap rather than
write() (aka such as ld.gold appears to do).
