Assuming the allocated field is not inclusive of real
memory, what we have is swap reservation under solaris
for clean pages, and allocation and assignment for dirty
pages. The grand total will tell you the total VM potential
for malloc'd space but does not appear to tell you how
much swap is actually active - i.e. was written to and
contains valid data.
It would be interesting to see if the stack segment is
included in the reservation. Try setting the stack resource
limit to 32m and run the same program, except without
bothering to malloc() or touch anything. See if the
stack segment is included in the reservation field.
It would also be interesting to see how solaris deals
with MAP_PRIVATE mmap's.
If this is correct, then solaris is using a VMSPACE = SWAPSPACE
model. FreeBSD uses a VMSPACE = SWAPSPACE + REALMEM model.
