From: Shaohua Li <shli@xxxxxx> Subject: proc: show MADV_FREE pages info in smaps Show MADV_FREE pages info of each vma in smaps. The interface is for diganose or monitoring purpose, userspace could use it to understand what happens in the application. Since userspace could dirty MADV_FREE pages without notice from kernel, this interface is the only place we can get accurate accounting info about MADV_FREE pages.
