Since: commit 9a10064f5625 ("mm: add a field to store names for private
anonymous memory"), name for private anonymous memory, but not shared
anonymous, can be set. However, naming shared anonymous memory just as
useful for tracking purposes.
Extend the functionality to be able to set names for shared anon.
Sample output:
/* Create shared anonymous segmenet */
anon_shmem = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
/* Name the segment: "MY-NAME" */
rv = prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME,
anon_shmem, SIZE, "MY-NAME");
cat /proc/<pid>/maps (and smaps):
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 [anon_shmem:MY-NAME]
