This function just sums up the values reported by the VM's many allocators: https://github.com/ferd/recon/blob/9efec263d84d0435230f4d3312a4afb352b8f71c/src/recon_alloc.erl#L207-L214
If there's a disagreement, it's either an consequence of very fast allocation and deallocation while the various allocators are probed, or an inconsistency between what the VM reports (which I'd push back to the OTP team) or the way the OS calculates it in its own reports.
