/* 
This function makes use of /proc to evaluate the ratio between shared and private memory blocks.
It is expressed as a percentage: 90 means 90% of the blocks are shared, and 10% have been duplicated.
Call this function at the very end of the child process.
For Redis, it is supposed to be called at the end of rdbSave (file rdb.c)

Ugly but effective. 
Please note it does not work if huge pages are used

Redis can be compiled against libhugetlbfs, so huge pages support can be activated with Linux >= 2.6.16.
It should cover Enterprise Linux distros such as SLES 10 or better, and RHEL/Centos/OEL 5 or better.

Be sure to read http://lwn.net/Articles/374424/ first.

Install libhugetlbfs source code in local directory $DIRHUGE
Source can be downloaded from http://libhugetlbfs.sourceforge.net/ 
Compile only the 64 bits version using make BUILDTYPE=NATIVEONLY
The library will be generated in $DIRHUGE/obj64 - add it in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
