mold 1.5.1 is a new release of the high-speed linker. This version contains only the following bug fix. We recommend upgrading from 1.5.0 if you are being affected by this issue.

• We changed the memory layout to save both memory and disk space in 1.5.0. Even though the new layout works fine on most systems, the change made the linker to create unusable executables for systems with large pages. Specifically, if you specify a large number for the -z max-page-size option, the loader refused to execute it with the error while loading shared libraries: cannot apply additional memory protection after relocation: Cannot allocate memory error. We reverted our recent commits so that mold creates output files with the same memory layout as it did before 1.5.0. (e62de0b)
