proc.5: statm's "shared" field refers to pages backed by files
...
I noticed that statm's "shared" field doesn't match the sum of
all the "shared" entries in smaps [1].
The kernel docs explain that statm's "shared" field is "number of
pages that are shared (i.e. backed by a file)" [2]. smaps appears
to call a page shared if it's mapped by at least two processes,
which explains this discrepancy.
I'm not a kernel hacker, but it appears to me they do mean "i.e."
and not "e.g." in the statm description: In
fs/proc/task_mmu.c::task_statm, I see
*shared = get_mm_counter(mm, MM_FILEPAGES);
Here's a patch which updates the man page to match the (hopefully
correct) kernel docs.

...
The default setting of 1 in/proc/sys/fs/protected_hardlinks
and /proc/sys/fs/protected_symlinks caused one too many
breakages for Linus's taste, so commit 561ec64ae67e changed
the default for both files to 0.
