On Linux, the runtime now defaults to releasing memory to the
operating system promptly (using <code>MADV_DONTNEED</code>), rather
than lazily when the operating system is under memory pressure
(using <code>MADV_FREE</code>). This means process-level memory
statistics like RSS will more accurately reflect the amount of
physical memory being used by Go processes. Systems that are
currently using <code>GODEBUG=madvdontneed=1</code> to improve
memory monitoring behavior no longer need to set this environment
variable.
