fs: proc: task_mmu: show page size in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps
The output of /proc/$pid/numa_maps is in terms of number of pages like anon=22 or dirty=54. Here's some output: 7f4680000000 default file=/hugetlb/bigfile anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7f7659600000 default file=/anon_hugepage\040(deleted) anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7fff8d425000 default stack anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 Looks like we have a stack and a couple of anonymous hugetlbfs areas page which both use the same amount of memory. They don't. The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space. The anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while the stack uses normal 4k pages. You can go over to smaps to figure out what the page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize or MMUPageSize. But, I think this is a pretty nasty and counterintuitive interface as it stands. This patch introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' line element to /proc/<pid>/numa_maps report file in order to help identifying the size of pages that are backing memory areas mapped by a given task. This is specially useful to help differentiating between HUGE and GIGANTIC page backed VMAs. This patch is based on Dave Hansen's proposal and reviewer's follow-ups taken from the following dicussion threads: * https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/454 * https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/20/66 Signed-off-by: Rafael Aquini <aquini@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@intel.com> Acked-by: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
