Li Feng April 24, 2020, 10:50 a.m. UTC 
Currently, even though memory is mapped with PROT_NONE, this does not
cause it to be excluded from core dumps. This is counter-productive,
because in a lot of cases, this memory will go unused (e.g. when the
memory subsystem preallocates VA space but hasn't yet mapped physical
pages into it).

Use `madvise()` call with MADV_DONTDUMP parameter to exclude the
unmapped memory from being dumped.

V2:
- add support for freebsd.
- when free_seg is called, mark the memory MADV_DONTDUMP.
- when alloc_seg is called, mark the memory MADV_DODUMP.

Isn't this v3 now?

DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) :) Probably easier to do "if (!unmap) ..." 
than putting this into two places.

See discussion for v2, i believe this is unnecessary.

Can I also suggest putting this at the top of the file:
#ifdef RTE_EXEC_ENV_LINUX
#define RTE_DONTDUMP MADV_DONTDUMP
#elif RTE_EXEC_ENV_FREEBSD
#define RTE_DONTDUMP MADV_NOCORE
#else
#error ....
#endif

and thereafter using RTE_DONTDUMP flag and avoiding any #ifdefs inline in
the code.

OK. I put this into two places, because the size is more accurate in this place.
