    [PATCH] add /proc/pid/smaps · e070ad49

    Add a "smaps" entry to /proc/pid: show howmuch memory is resident in each
    mapping.
    
    People that want to perform a memory consumption analysing can use it
    mainly if someone needs to figure out which libraries can be reduced for
    embedded systems.  So the new features are the physical size of shared and
    clean [or dirty]; private and clean [or dirty].
    
    Take a look the example below:
    
    # cat /proc/4576/smaps

    show_smap calls first show_map and then prints its additional information to
    the seq_file.  show_map checks if all it has to print fits into the buffer and
    if yes marks the current vma as written.  While that is correct for show_map
    it is not for show_smap.  Here the vma should be marked as written only after
    the additional information is also written.
    
    The attached patch cures the problem.  It moves the functionality of the
    show_map function to a new function show_map_internal that is called with an
    additional struct mem_size_stats* argument.  Then show_map calls
    show_map_internal with NULL as struct mem_size_stats* whereas show_smap calls
    it with a real pointer.  Now the final
    
    	if (m->count < m->size)  /* vma is copied successfully */
    		m->version = (vma != get_gate_vma(task))? vma->vm_start: 0;
    
    is done only if the whole entry fits into the buffer.
