"Anonymous" shows the amount of memory that does not belong to any file. Even
a mapping associated with a file may contain anonymous pages: when MAP_PRIVATE
and a page is modified, the file page is replaced by a private anonymous copy.
+"LazyFree" shows the amount of memory which is marked by madvise(MADV_FREE).
+The memory isn't freed immediately with madvise(). It's freed in memory
+pressure if the memory is clean. Please note that the printed value might
+be lower than the real value due to optimizations used in the current
+implementation. If this is not desirable please file a bug report.
"AnonHugePages" shows the ammount of memory backed by transparent hugepage.
"ShmemPmdMapped" shows the ammount of shared (shmem/tmpfs) memory backed by
huge pages.
