+The /proc/PID/totmaps is an extension based on maps, showing the memory
+consumption totals for all of the process's mappings. It lists the sums of the
+same statistics as /proc/PID/smaps.
+
+The process' mappings will be summarized as a series of lines like the
+following:

The /proc/PID/clear_refs is used to reset the PG_Referenced and ACCESSED/YOUNG
bits on both physical and virtual pages associated with a process, and the
soft-dirty bit on pte (see Documentation/vm/soft-dirty.txt for details).
