Hi Ms.Khan

I have added a new api test_cachestat_mmap to validate cachestat behavior with memory-mapped files.
attached the output file here.

Thanks,

This patch adds a new test case to validate cachestat behavior with
memory-mapped files using mmap(). The test ensures that pages are
properly cached when accessed via mmap and verifies the expected
number of cached pages.

Additionally, a test case for /proc/cpuinfo has been added to observe
how cachestat handles virtual files under /proc. This helps improve
coverage of edge cases involving pseudo-filesystems
