/proc/pid/smaps: export amount of anonymous memory in a mapping
Export the number of anonymous pages in a mapping via smaps.
Even the private pages in a mapping backed by a file, would be marked as
anonymous, when they are modified. Export this information to user-space via
smaps.
Exporting this count will help gdb to make a better decision on which
areas need to be dumped in its coredump; and should be useful to others
studying the memory usage of a process.
