    mm/smaps: add Pss_Dirty · 30934843
    Vincent Whitchurch authored
    Pss is the sum of the sizes of clean and dirty private pages, and the
    proportional sizes of clean and dirty shared pages:
    
     Private = Private_Dirty + Private_Clean
     Shared_Proportional = Shared_Dirty_Proportional + Shared_Clean_Proportional
     Pss = Private + Shared_Proportional
    
    The Shared*Proportional fields are not present in smaps, so it is not
    always possible to determine how much of the Pss is from dirty pages and
    how much is from clean pages.  This information can be useful for
    measuring memory usage for the purpose of optimisation, since clean pages
    can usually be discarded by the kernel immediately while dirty pages
    cannot.
    
    The smaps routines in the kernel already have access to this data, so add
    a Pss_Dirty to show it to userspace.  Pss_Clean is not added since it can
    be calculated from Pss and Pss_Dirty.
