Pasha Tatashin d09e8ca6cb mm: anonymous shared memory naming 
Since commit 9a10064f56 ("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.

There are two ways to create anonymous shared memory, using memfd or
directly via mmap():
1. fd = memfd_create(...)
   mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED, fd, ...)
2. mem = mmap(..., MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, ...)

In both cases the anonymous shared memory is created the same way by
mapping an unlinked file on tmpfs.

The memfd way allows to give a name for anonymous shared memory, but
not useful when parts of shared memory require to have distinct names.

Example use case: The VMM maps VM memory as anonymous shared memory (not
private because VMM is sandboxed and drivers are running in their own
processes).  However, the VM tells back to the VMM how parts of the memory
are actually used by the guest, how each of the segments should be backed
(i.e.  4K pages, 2M pages), and some other information about the segments.
The naming allows us to monitor the effective memory footprint for each
of these segments from the host without looking inside the guest.

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]

If the segment is not named, the output is:
7fc8e2b4c000-7fc8f2b4c000 rw-s 00000000 00:01 1024 /dev/zero (deleted)

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
