On Linux, the Go runtime now releases memory back to the operating
system only when the OS is under memory pressure. This is more
efficient, but means a process's RSS (resident set size) won't
decrease unless the OS is running out of memory.
On Linux, the runtime now uses MADV_FREE to release unused
memory. This is more efficient but may result in higher reported
RSS. The kernel will reclaim the unused data when it is needed.
