runtime: decorate anonymous memory mappings
Leverage the prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, ...) API to name
the anonymous memory areas.
This API has been introduced in Linux 5.17 to decorate the anonymous
memory areas shown in /proc/<pid>/maps.
This is already used by glibc. See:
* https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=malloc/malloc.c;h=
27dfd1eb907f4615b70c70237c42c552bb4f26a8;hb=HEAD#l2434

This can be useful when investigating the memory consumption of a
multi-language program.
On a 100% Go program, pprof profiler can be used to profile the memory
consumption of the program. But pprof is only aware of what happens
within the Go world.
On a multi-language program, there could be a doubt about whether the
suspicious extra-memory consumption comes from the Go part or the native
part.
With this change, the following Go program:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
)
/*
#include <stdlib.h>
void f(void)
{
(void)malloc(1024*1024*1024);
}
*/
import "C"
func main() {
C.f()
data, err := os.ReadFile("/proc/self/maps")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(data))
}
produces this output:
$ GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.mem.decorate_maps=1 ~/doc/devel/open-source/go/bin/go run .

The anonymous memory areas are now labelled so that we can see which
ones have been allocated by the Go runtime versus which ones have been
allocated by the glibc.
