Subject: fs/proc/task_mmu.c: add user-space support for resetting mm->hiwater_rss (peak RSS)
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=695f055936938c674473ea071ca7359a863551e7;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

fs/proc/task_mmu.c: add user-space support for resetting mm->hiwater_rss (peak RSS)

Peak resident size of a process can be reset back to the process's
current rss value by writing "5" to /proc/pid/clear_refs.  The driving
use-case for this would be getting the peak RSS value, which can be
retrieved from the VmHWM field in /proc/pid/status, per benchmark
iteration or test scenario.

 Any other value written to /proc/PID/clear_refs will have no effect.
 
 The /proc/pid/pagemap gives the PFN, which can be used to find the pageflags
