hurae opened issue #6229:

So that I can use wasm in very low Linux kernel version, such as 2.6.32 .

I am trying to make a plugin system based on wasmtime to fit all OS. When targeting to x86_64-unknown-linux-musl, it compiles, but when I try to run it on CentOS 6.6 or Ubuntu 14.04, it just report the follows:

$ ./runner-amd64-linux-musl-minf
Error: Failed to instantiate

Caused by:
    0: cannot create a memfd
    1: Function not implemented (os error 38)

The wasmtime and enabled features:

wasmtime = { git = "https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime", rev = "cc1c14ac913be13329e5cfc91c33e053ab722132", features = [
  "component-model",
  "async",
] }

AFIK, CoW which relies on memfd_create is just not necessary, so can I get an option to not using it (in the feature form). It seems it's the only thing that prevents wasmtime to startup under older Linux kernel.

I think you can do config.memory_init_cow(false).

Thanks for the report! I've also posted https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6230 in addition to what @bjorn3 mentioned, to handle this in the future without needing explicit configuration.
