Adrian Brzezinski 13f20a4811 free: reusing 'shared' for Shmem
Previously the shared memory column was always zero
for 2.6 series kernels (and later) due to the fact,
that the value was taken from the MemShared entry
that disappeared with 2.6 series kernels.
Later a new Shmem entry appeared in the /proc/meminfo
file and the 'shared' column now displays either
the MemShared or the Shmem value (depending on their
presence - the presence is mutually exclusive).
If none of the two entries is exported by the kernel,
then the column is zero.

COMPATIBILITY

    This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
    hopefully all future kernels.

INSTALLATION

    If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.

    ./autogen.sh

    After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
    do normal build.  Read './configure --help' to select options for
    your needs.

    ./configure
    make
    make install

    If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.

    make check

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE

    See Documentation/BUGS file.

PACKAGING

    If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
    distribution, please avoid causing troubles.  This section
    applies to you.

    Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches.  Send your
    patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
    included.

    Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
    busy enough to bother with, please make this known.  Follow
    Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
    email without need for an account.

    For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
    to the CFLAGS variable.
