Szabolcs Nagy d95ead261e sys/mman.h: add MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT from linux v5.4
These were mainly introduced so android can optimize the memory usage
of unused apps.

MADV_COLD hints that the memory range is currently not needed (unlike
with MADV_FREE the content is not garbage, it needs to be swapped):

  linux commit 9c276cc65a58faf98be8e56962745ec99ab87636
  mm: introduce MADV_COLD

MADV_PAGEOUT hints that the memory range is not needed for a long time
so it can be reclaimed immediately independently of memory pressure
(unlike with MADV_DONTNEED the content is not garbage):

  linux commit 1a4e58cce84ee88129d5d49c064bd2852b481357
  mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUT

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
