TS-3883: Fix madvise
> ats_madvise() has no effect on Linux (including MADV_DONTDUMP)
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TS-3883
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-3883
> Project: Traffic Server
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Gancho Tenev
> Assignee: Phil Sorber
> Labels: A
> Fix For: 6.1.0
>
>
> While investigating unrelated issue with truncated core dumps on Linux,
> noticed that we run out of space on a few machines because of huge core dumps
> which were tending to the ATS process virtual memory size (reported by
> /proc/<pid>/status:VmSize on Linux).
> It looked like MADV_DONTDUMP memory use advice was not set properly.
> Further debugging showed that we have the following code in ats_madvise():
> {code}
> #if defined(linux)
> (void)addr;
> (void)len;
> (void)flags;
> return 0;
> #else . . .
> {code}
> Which would lead ats_madvise() to have no effect when "defined(linux)" is
> true, and would skip the necessary madvise() call to set MADV_DONTDUMP.
