tmpnam(), which always creates pathnames within /tmp.

fcntl.2: File seals are not generally applicable to tmpfs(5) files
...
As far as I can see, file seals can be applied only to
memfd_create(2) file descriptors. This was checked by experiment
and by reading mm/shmem.c::shmem_get_inode((), where one finds
the following line that applies to all new shmem files:
info->seals = F_SEAL_SEAL;
Only in the code of the memfd_create() system call is this
setting reversed (in mm/shmem.c::memfd_create):
if (flags & MFD_ALLOW_SEALING)
info->seals &= ~F_SEAL_SEAL;

mmap.2: Remove ancient reference to flags that appear on some other systems
...
MAP_AUTOGROW, MAP_AUTORESRV, MAP_COPY, and MAP_LOCAL may have
appeared on some systems many years ago, but the discussion here
mentions no details and the systems and flags probably ceased to
be relevant long ago. So, remove this text.
