Luigi Semenzato ee2ad71b07 mm: smaps: split PSS into components
Report separate components (anon, file, and shmem) for PSS in
smaps_rollup.

This helps understand and tune the memory manager behavior in consumer
devices, particularly mobile devices.  Many of them (e.g.  chromebooks and
Android-based devices) use zram for anon memory, and perform disk reads
for discarded file pages.  The difference in latency is large (e.g.
reading a single page from SSD is 30 times slower than decompressing a
zram page on one popular device), thus it is useful to know how much of
the PSS is anon vs.  file.

All the information is already present in /proc/pid/smaps, but much more
expensive to obtain because of the large size of that procfs entry.

This patch also removes a small code duplication in smaps_account, which
would have gotten worse otherwise.

Also updated Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt (the smaps section was a
bit stale, and I added a smaps_rollup section) and
Documentation/ABI/testing/procfs-smaps_rollup.

Description:
This file provides pre-summed memory information for a
process. The format is almost identical to /proc/pid/smaps,
except instead of an entry for each VMA in a process,
smaps_rollup has a single entry (tagged "[rollup]")
for which each field is the sum of the corresponding
fields from all the maps in /proc/pid/smaps.
Additionally, the fields Pss_Anon, Pss_File and Pss_Shmem
are not present in /proc/pid/smaps. These fields represent
the sum of the Pss field of each type (anon, file, shmem).
For more details, see Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
and the procfs man page.
Typical output looks like this:
