> Analysts and supporters often use /proc/xx/maps to make sense of the memory footprint of a process.
> 
> Interpreting the memory map correctly can help when used as a complement to other tools (e.g. NMT). There even exist tools out there that attempt to annotate the process memory map with JVM information.
> 
> That, however, can be more accurately done from within the JVM, at least for mappings originating from hotspot. After all, we can correlate the mapping information in NMT with the VMA map.

> This patch adds the VM annotations for VMAs that are *mmaped*. I also have an experimental patch that works with malloc'ed memory, but it is not ready yet for consumption and I leave that part of for now.
