They create a fake program break that moves with calls to sbrk rather than actually moving the real program break. Attempts to access memory in the "new" region will still cause policy violations, as they are not tagged.

Adds a wrapper around the
sbrksystem call that fakes the program break by basically just keeping track of where it is and moving the pointer assbrkis called. Wheneversbrkis called, if the request is to expand the available memory (even if it's to re-expand it after shrinking it), the AP will send a message to the PEX using the PIPE's mailbox mechanism, including an interrupt. The PEX is then expected to make any changes to the data TMT that are necessary.
