Backport
This PR is auto-generated from #28526 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label backport/1.17.x.
The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.
Description
This PR adds a log line during the log store and FSM setup process that warns when Linux's MAP_POPULATE flag for mmap has been disabled. (That flag populates page tables ahead of time before we try to open a database file, which helps limit page faults and thus speeds up the process.)
Without this log message, the Vault process appears to hang for a long period of time while it tries to open up a large database. This log line will help warn users so they don't just think Vault is being broken and unresponsive.
Note that the
unix.MAP_POPULATE
flag is only available on Linux, so Go won't compile if I reference it in files that don't end in_linux.go
, hence the slight gymnastics.I've also added some comments to help noobs to these concepts like myself understand how this flag is used.
